Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.” or “United States”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year Calendar - The Company operates on a 52-53-week fiscal year calendar. For 2025 and 2024, the Company’s fiscal year will end or has ended on January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025, respectively. The 12-month periods ended January 2, 2026 and January 3, 2025, will include or have included 52 and 53 weeks, respectively. The three and six-month periods ended July 4, 2025 and June 28, 2024 each included 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation Principles of Consolidation - These condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are generated from the sale of performance-defining products and systems to customers worldwide. The Company’s performance-defining products and systems are solutions that improve performance of powered vehicles, bikes, and baseball and softball gear and equipment. Powered vehicles include side-by-sides, on-road vehicles with off-road capabilities, off-road vehicles and trucks, ATVs, snowmobiles, specialty vehicles and applications, and motorcycles.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer, generally at the time of shipment. Contracts are generally in the form of purchase orders and are governed by standard terms and conditions. For larger OEMs, the Company may also enter into master agreements. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenues. Revenues generated from upfit packages generally do not include the vehicle chassis, as the Company is not the principal in this arrangement and the automotive dealer purchases the chassis directly from the OEM. The Company is required to place a deposit on Stellantis vehicle chassis, however, that deposit is refunded when the chassis is sold through to our customer. For other chassis, the Company entered into floor plan financing agreements, in which the Company pays interest expense based on the duration of time the chassis stay on the Company's premises. Revenues generated from custom upfit packages from the Outside Van and Upfit UTV subsidiaries generally include the vehicle chassis, of which the Company has the risks and rewards of ownership. For certain upfit packages, revenue is recognized over-time as work is performed based on actual costs incurred.
We elected as a practical expedient to not capitalize the incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers since the amortization period would have been one year or less.
Provisions for discounts, rebates, sales incentives, returns, and other adjustments are generally provided for in the period the related sales are recorded, based on management’s assessment of historical trends and projection of future results.
Segments
Segments - We have three operating and reportable segments: Powered Vehicles Group (“PVG”), Aftermarket Applications Group (“AAG”), and Specialty Sports Group (“SSG”). The Company considers operating segments to be components of the Company in which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications - We reclassified certain prior period amounts within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to our current year presentation. The reclassifications did not have any impact on net income.
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties - As of July 4, 2025, the Company is subject to those risks common in manufacturing-driven markets, including, but not limited to, competitive forces, dependence on key personnel, customer demand for its products, disruptions in the operations of its or its customers’ facilities, or along its global supply chain, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations, and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing when needed.
International geopolitical conflicts, including continuing tensions between Taiwan and China, the Russian war in Ukraine, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and rising tensions in the Middle East, on the global economy, energy supplies and raw materials may prove to negatively impact the Company’s business and operations. Additionally, the imposition of U.S. tariffs on China, Canada, Mexico, and other countries, and retaliatory tariffs by these countries on the U.S. may increase costs, disrupt supply chains, and impact demand for the Company’s products. Furthermore, domestic and foreign political instability and uncertainty may create economic volatility, regulatory changes, and trade disruptions that pose additional risks to the Company’s business environment.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that requires the valuation of assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and current portion of long-term debt approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the Company’s revolver and long-term debt, excluding current portion, approximate their fair values because the interest rates vary with the market.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Total adjusted EBITDA presents the sum of the results of our three operating segments and unallocated corporate expenses on a consolidated basis. We believe that total adjusted EBITDA is an operating performance measure that measures operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles, and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. In reviewing our corporate operating results, we also believe it is important to review the aggregate consolidated performance of all of our segments on the same basis we review the performance of each of our segments and draw comparisons between periods based on the same measure of consolidated performance.
Management provides this non-GAAP financial measure as a supplemental tool to assist investors in understanding our performance and evaluating our ongoing results of operations. Many investors are interested in understanding the performance of our business by comparing our results from ongoing operations from one period to the next and would ordinarily add back items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of our business. By providing total adjusted EBITDA, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing strategic initiatives.
However, total adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and our total adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Total adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, total adjusted EBITDA:
does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures or requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments;
does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs; and
does not reflect any costs related to the current or future replacement of assets being depreciated or amortized.
We also use total adjusted EBITDA:
as a measure of operating performance to assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis because it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budgets and financial projections;
to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
as a basis to calculate incentive compensation payments for our key employees.
Please see Note 15 – Segment Information for our definition of adjusted EBITDA. Under ASC 280, adjusted EBITDA is our measure of segment profitability and financial performance of our operating segments, and when used in this context, the term adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA reported for the Company on a consolidated basis is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. These amendments do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024 ending January 3, 2025 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
