NOT E 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clarus Corporation and subsidiaries (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “Clarus,” “we,” “us” or “our”) as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2020. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 9, 2020.

Clarus, incorporated in Delaware in 1991, acquired Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. (“Black Diamond Equipment”) in May 2010 and changed its name to Black Diamond, Inc. in January 2011. In October 2012, we acquired PIEPS Holding GmbH and its subsidiaries (collectively, “PIEPS”).

On August 14, 2017, the Company changed its name from Black Diamond, Inc. to Clarus Corporation and its stock ticker symbol from “BDE” to “CLAR” on the NASDAQ stock exchange. On August 21, 2017, the Company acquired Sierra Bullets, L.L.C. (“Sierra”). On November 6, 2018, the Company acquired the assets of SKINourishment, Inc. (“SKINourishment”).

On October 2, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities relating to the Barnes brand of bullets (“Barnes”) for a purchase price of $30,500. See Note 15 for a more detailed explanation of the acquisition.

On August 6, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend program of $0.025 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Quarterly Cash Dividend”) or $0.10 per share on an annualized basis. The declaration and payment of future Quarterly Cash Dividends is subject to the discretion of and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. On May 1, 2020, the Company announced that, in light of the operational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, its Board of Directors temporarily replaced its Quarterly Cash Dividend with a stock dividend (the “Quarterly Stock Dividend”). On October 19, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the reinstatement of its Quarterly Cash Dividend. The reinstated Quarterly Cash Dividend will be paid on November 20, 2020 to the shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on November 9, 2020.

Nature of Business

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Clarus, a company focused on the outdoor and consumer industries, is seeking opportunities to acquire and grow businesses that can generate attractive shareholder returns. The Company has net operating tax loss carryforwards which it is seeking to redeploy to maximize shareholder value. Clarus’ primary business is as a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of outdoor equipment and lifestyle products focused on the climb, ski, mountain, sport and skincare markets. The Company’s products are principally sold under the Black Diamond®, Sierra®, PIEPS® and SKINourishment® brand names through outdoor specialty and online retailers, distributors and original equipment manufacturers throughout the U.S. and internationally.

Through our Black Diamond, PIEPS, and SKINourishment brands, we offer a broad range of products including: high-performance, activity-based apparel (such as shells, insulation, midlayers, pants and logowear); rock-climbing footwear and equipment (such as carabiners, protection devices, harnesses, belay devices, helmets, and ice-climbing gear); technical backpacks and high-end day packs; trekking poles; headlamps and lanterns; gloves and mittens; and skincare and other sport-enhancing products. We also offer advanced skis, ski poles, ski skins, and snow safety products, including avalanche airbag systems, avalanche transceivers, shovels, and probes. Through our Sierra brand, we manufacture a wide range of high-performance bullets and ammunition for both rifles and pistols that are used for precision target shooting, hunting and military and law enforcement purposes.

Impact of COVID-19

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020, with governments world-wide implementing safety measures restricting travel and requiring citizen lockdowns and self-confinements for quarantining purposes. This has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global

supply chains, and resulted in significant transport restrictions and disruption of financial markets. The impact of this pandemic has created significant uncertainty in the global economy and has affected our business, employees, retail and distribution partners, suppliers, and customers.

The decline in retail demand within our Black Diamond segment over the second half of March 2020 and during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, negatively impacted our sales and profitability for the first, second and third quarters of 2020. We also expect an impact on the Company’s sales and profitability in future periods. The duration of these trends and the magnitude of such impacts cannot be precisely estimated at this time, as they are affected by a number of factors (some of which are outside management’s control), including those presented in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.

We are mitigating some of the negative impacts to our operating results by taking significant actions to improve our current operating results and liquidity position, including drawing on the credit facility, suspending share repurchases and temporarily suspending cash dividends, postponing non-essential capital expenditures, reducing operating costs, modulating production in line with demand, initiating workforce reductions and furloughs, and substantially reducing discretionary spending. We will continue to adjust mitigation measures as needed related to health and safety. Those measures have and might continue to include temporarily suspending manufacturing or retail operations, modifying workspaces, continuing social distancing policies, implementing new personal protective equipment or health screening policies at our facilities, or such other industry best practices needed to continue maintain a healthy and safe environment for our employees amidst the pandemic.

These countermeasures are expected to partially mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our full year 2020 financial results. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess the impact on the Company and respond accordingly.

Sustained adverse impacts to the Company, certain of its suppliers, dealers or customers may also affect the Company’s future cash flows, liquidity, and valuation of certain assets and therefore may increase the likelihood of an impairment charge, write-off, or reserve associated with such assets, including goodwill, indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, net deferred tax assets, and other assets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used to record the allowance for credit losses and doubtful accounts, liabilities for product warranties, excess or obsolete inventory, valuation of deferred tax assets, and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to facilitate the market transition from existing reference rates, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which is being phased out in 2021, to alternate reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The standard is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. The provisions have impact as contract modifications and other changes occur while LIBOR is phased out. The Company is in the process of evaluating the optional relief guidance provided within this ASU. Management will continue its assessment and monitor regulatory developments during the LIBOR transition period.

2020. On April 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $20,000 under such term loan facility. The Company is required to repay the term loan through quarterly payments of $1,000 each beginning with September 30, 2020, and any remaining obligations will be repaid in full on the maturity date of the Credit Agreement of May 3, 2024. The Company pays interest monthly on any borrowings on the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, the rate was 1.6875%.

NOTE 6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s primary exchange rate risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily focuses on mitigating changes in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company manages this risk primarily by using currency forward and option contracts. If the anticipated transactions are deemed probable, the resulting relationships are formally designated as cash flow hedges. The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the expected cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the expected cash flow of the hedged item.

At September 30, 2020, the Company’s derivative contracts had remaining maturities of less than one and one-half years. The counterparties to these transactions had both long-term and short-term investment grade credit ratings. The maximum net exposure of the Company’s credit risk to the counterparties is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized loss of all contracts with that counterparty, which is $688 as of September 30, 2020. The Company’s exposure of counterparty credit risk is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain on all contracts. At September 30, 2020, there was no such exposure to the counterparties. The Company’s derivative counterparties have strong credit ratings and as a result, the Company does not require collateral to facilitate transactions.

The Company held the following contracts designated as hedging instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

|  | September 30, 2020
|  | Notional |  | Latest
|  | Amount |  | Maturity
Foreign exchange contracts - Canadian Dollars |  | $8,279 |  | August 2021
Foreign exchange contracts - Euros |  | € 25,962 |  | February 2022

|  | December 31, 2019
|  | Notional |  | Latest
|  | Amount |  | Maturity
Foreign exchange contracts - Canadian Dollars |  | $15,932 |  | February 2021
Foreign exchange contracts - Euros |  | € 18,168 |  | February 2021
Foreign exchange contracts - Swiss Francs |  | CHF 661 |  | August 2020

For contracts that qualify as effective hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to sales in the period the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Gains (losses) of $(376) and $261 were reclassified to sales during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $206 and $844 were reclassified to sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are

observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.

NOTE 9. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive to the loss from continuing operations.

The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share:

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
|  | September 30, 2020 |  | September 30, 2019 |  | September 30, 2020 |  | September 30, 2019
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic |  |  | 29,983 |  |  | 29,876 |  |  | 29,854 |  |  | 29,841
Effect of dilutive stock awards |  |  | 1,003 |  |  | 1,201 |  |  | - |  |  | 1,158
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted |  |  | 30,986 |  |  | 31,077 |  |  | 29,854 |  |  | 30,999
Net income (loss) per share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Diluted |  |  | 0.04 |  |  | 0.11 |  |  | (0.05) |  |  | 0.21

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, equity awards of 927 and 798, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, equity awards of 4,384 and 669, respectively, were anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share for these periods.

NOTE 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the Company’s current 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the Company’s Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2015 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted units. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted through awards under the 2015 Plan to any employee in any calendar year may not exceed 500 shares. The 2015 Plan will continue in effect until December 2025 unless terminated sooner.

Options Granted:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued stock options for an aggregate of 613 shares under the 2015 Plan to directors and employees of the Company. Of the 613 options issued, 38 options vest in four equal consecutive quarterly tranches from the date of grant. 145 options issued vest in four equal annual tranches beginning December 31, 2020. 50 options issued vest in five equal annual tranches beginning December 31, 2020. 30 options issued vest in three equal annual tranches beginning December 31, 2020. The remaining 350 options issued vest in three equal annual tranches beginning August 27, 2021.

For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Number of options |  | 613
Option vesting period |  | 1 - 5 Years
Grant price (per share) |  | $9.99 - $15.00
Dividend yield |  | 0.79% - 1.00%
Expected volatility (a) |  | 40.9% - 44.2%
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.41% - 0.65%
Expected life (years) (b) |  | 5.31 - 6.38
Weighted average fair value (per share) |  | $3.72 - $4.35

(a)Expected volatility is based upon the Company’s historical volatility.

(b)The expected term was determined based upon the underlying terms of the awards and the category and employment history of employee award recipient.

The grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $2,581, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the options.

Stock Award Granted:

On September 14, 2020, the Company issued and granted to the Executive Chairman a stock award of 244 shares under the 2015 Plan which vested immediately. The fair value of the stock award was calculated as of the date of grant using the closing market price. The grant date fair value of the stock award granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $3,314, which was recognized immediately.

Market Condition Restricted Shares Granted:

On August 27, 2020, the Company issued and granted to an employee a restricted stock award of 100 restricted shares under the 2015 Plan, of which 100 restricted shares will vest if, on or before August 27, 2023, the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Company’s common stock shall have equaled or exceeded $15.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days. For computing the fair value of the 100 restricted shares with a market condition, the fair value of the restricted stock award grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Monte-Carlo pricing model with the assumptions below.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

|  | August 27, 2020
Number issued |  | 100
Vesting period |  | $15.00 stock price target
Grant price (per share) |  | $12.72
Dividend yield |  | 0.79%
Expected volatility |  | 41.1%
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.19%
Expected term (years) |  | 0.52
Weighted average fair value (per share) |  | $9.91

Using these assumptions, the fair value of the market condition restricted stock award granted on August 27, 2020 was $991.

The total non-cash stock compensation expense related to restricted stock, stock options and stock awards recorded by the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $4,204 and $678, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $5,433 and $2,246, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the majority of stock-based compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.

As of September 30, 2020, there were 1,744 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $5,354 related to unvested stock options, as well as 600 unvested restricted stock awards and unrecognized compensation costs of $3,119 related to unvested restricted stock awards.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company faces the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods. The Company is therefore vulnerable to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to its products and incidental to its business.

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There is a reasonable possibility of loss from contingencies in excess of the amounts accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, the actual amounts of such possible losses cannot currently be reasonably estimated by the Company at this time. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a different effect.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and its foreign operations that are considered to be permanently reinvested have statutory tax rates of approximately 25%.

The difference between the Company’s estimated effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, was due to permanent book to tax differences primarily related to incentive stock options.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $43,945. The Company had recorded a valuation allowance of $28,632, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $15,313, before deferred tax liabilities of $8,633. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, because the ultimate realization of those assets did not meet the more likely than not criteria. The majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for federal tax purposes. If a change in control were to occur, these could be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and net operating loss and credit

carryforwards expire. The estimates and judgments associated with the Company’s valuation allowance on deferred tax assets are considered critical due to the amount of deferred tax assets recorded by the Company on its consolidated balance sheet and the judgment required in determining the Company’s future taxable income. The need for a valuation allowance is reassessed at each interim reporting period.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had NOL and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $131,621 and $4,250, respectively. The Company believes its NOL will offset some of its future U.S. federal income taxes. The majority of the Company’s pre-tax income is currently earned and expected to be earned in the U.S., or taxed in the U.S. as Subpart F income and will be offset with the NOL.

NOLs available to offset taxable income, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Code, begin to expire based upon the following schedule:

Net Operating Loss Carryforward Expiration Dates
December 31, 2019
Expiration Dates December 31, |  | Net Operating Loss Amount
2022 |  | $ | 111,049
2023 |  |  | 5,712
2024 |  |  | 3,566
2025 and beyond |  |  | 11,294
Total |  | $ | 131,621

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate our business structure within two segments. These segments are defined based on the internal financial reporting used by management. Certain significant selling and general and administrative expenses are not allocated to the segments including non-cash stock compensation expense. Each segment is described below:

Our Black Diamond segment, which includes Black Diamond Equipment, PIEPS, and SKINourishment, is a global leader in designing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative outdoor engineered equipment and apparel for climbing, mountaineering, trail running, backpacking, skiing, and a wide range of other year-round outdoor recreation activities.

NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with three existing stockholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold its common stock in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). Upon the Company’s closing of the Offering, the Company paid a fee in the amount of $250 to Kanders & Company, Inc. (“Kanders & Company”), which were deducted from the net proceeds, in consideration of the significant support received by the Company from Kanders & Company in sourcing, structuring, and negotiating the Offering. Mr. Warren B. Kanders, the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors is a member of the Board of Directors and sole stockholder of Kanders & Company.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a liability in the amount of $500 owed to Kanders & Company, which is included in transaction costs, in consideration of the significant support received by the Company from Kanders & Company in sourcing, structuring, performing due diligence and negotiating the acquisition of Barnes.

NOTE 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Barnes Acquisition

On September 30, 2020, Sierra entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Barnes Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Remington Outdoor Company, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Seller”), pursuant to which Sierra agreed to (i) acquire certain assets of the Seller relating to the Barnes brand of bullets (“Barnes”), including equipment, inventory, intellectual property (including exclusive use of Barnes’ intellectual property in the all-copper and powdered metallurgy ammunition fields as well as its trademarks) and a leasehold interest in certain real property located in Mona, Utah (collectively, the “Barnes Purchased Assets”) and (ii) assume certain liabilities related to the Barnes Purchased Assets in a transaction to be effected in Seller’s bankruptcy proceeding under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, §§ 101 et seq.

Court for the Northern District of Alabama (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Pursuant to the Barnes Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase price to be paid for the Barnes Purchased Assets is $30,500 (the “Barnes Purchase Price”). Sierra paid to Seller a $30,500 deposit to be applied to the Barnes Purchase Price which was recorded in Other long-term assets as of September 30, 2020.

The acquisition of the Barnes Purchased Assets (the “Barnes Acquisition”) contemplated by the Barnes Asset Purchase Agreement was subject to a number of closing conditions, including, among others (i) the Sale Order entered on September 30, 2020 by the Bankruptcy Court in the Seller’s Chapter 11 case being in effect as of the closing of the Acquisition, and (ii) compliance with the obligations of each party set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Seller and Sierra have each made representations, warranties and covenants in the Asset Purchase Agreement customary for transactions of this type under the Bankruptcy Code. On October 2, 2020, Sierra completed the acquisition of the Barnes Purchased Assets.

Based upon the timing of the Barnes Acquisition, the initial accounting is not yet complete as the Company gathers additional information related to the Barnes Purchased Assets. The Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of certain intangible assets. The preliminary application of acquisition accounting to the Barnes Purchased Assets, as well as the results of operations of Barnes, will first be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial results as of and for the three and twelve months ending December 31, 2020. The operating results of Barnes are expected to be included within the Sierra segment. Acquisition-related costs for the Barnes Acquisition, which were included in transaction costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $850.

CLARUS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Clarus, incorporated in Delaware in 1991, acquired Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. (“Black Diamond Equipment”) in May 2010 and changed its name to Black Diamond, Inc. in January 2011. In October 2012, we acquired PIEPS Holding GmbH and its subsidiaries (collectively, “PIEPS”).

On August 14, 2017, the Company changed its name from Black Diamond, Inc. to Clarus Corporation and its stock ticker symbol from “BDE” to “CLAR” on the NASDAQ stock exchange. On August 21, 2017, the Company acquired Sierra Bullets, L.L.C. (“Sierra”). On November 6, 2018, the Company acquired the assets of SKINourishment, Inc. (“SKINourishment”).

On October 2, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities relating to the Barnes brand of bullets (“Barnes”) for a purchase price of $30,500. See Note 15 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a more detailed explanation of the acquisition.

On August 6, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend program of $0.025 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Quarterly Cash Dividend”) or $0.10 per share on an annualized basis. The declaration and payment of future Quarterly Cash Dividends is subject to the discretion of and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. On May 1, 2020, the Company announced that, in light of the operational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, its Board of Directors temporarily replaced its Quarterly Cash Dividend with a stock dividend (the “Quarterly Stock Dividend”). On October 19, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the reinstatement of its Quarterly Cash Dividend. The reinstated Quarterly Cash Dividend will be paid on November 20, 2020 to the shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on November 9, 2020.

Impact of COVID-19

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020, with governments world-wide implementing safety measures restricting travel and requiring citizen lockdowns and self-confinements for quarantining purposes. This has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and resulted in significant transport restrictions and disruption of financial markets. The impact of this pandemic has created significant uncertainty in the global economy and has affected our business, employees, retail and distribution partners, suppliers, and customers.

The decline in retail demand within our Black Diamond segment over the second half of March 2020 and during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, negatively impacted our sales and profitability for the first, second and third quarters of 2020. We also expect an impact on the Company’s sales and profitability in future periods. The duration of these trends and the magnitude of such impacts cannot be precisely estimated at this time, as they are affected by a number of factors (some of which are outside management’s control), including those presented in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020. We generally expect the second quarter of 2020 to be the most significantly impacted with sequential improvement throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.

We are mitigating some of the negative impacts to our operating results by taking significant actions to improve our current operating results and liquidity position, including drawing on the credit facility, suspending share repurchases and temporarily suspending cash dividends, postponing non-essential capital expenditures, reducing operating costs, modulating production in line with demand, initiating workforce reductions and furloughs, and substantially reducing discretionary spending. We will continue to adjust mitigation measures as needed related to health and safety. Those measures have and might continue to include temporarily suspending manufacturing or retail operations, modifying workspaces, continuing social distancing policies, implementing new personal protective equipment or health screening policies at our facilities, or such other industry best practices needed to continue maintain a healthy and safe environment for our employees amidst the pandemic.

These countermeasures are expected to partially mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our full year 2020 financial results. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess the impact on the Company and respond accordingly.

Sustained adverse impacts to the Company, certain of its suppliers, dealers or customers may also affect the Company’s future cash flows, liquidity, and valuation of certain assets and therefore may increase the likelihood of an impairment charge, write-off, or reserve associated with such assets, including goodwill, indefinite and finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, net deferred tax assets, and other assets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Management’s discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Condensed Consolidated Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Condensed Consolidated Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

The following presents a discussion of condensed consolidated operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with the condensed consolidated three months ended September 30, 2019.

|  | Three Months Ended

Sales

Consolidated sales increased $4,288, or 7.1%, to $64,491 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated sales of $60,203 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in sales was attributable to the increase in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold of $8,676. We also experienced an increase in sales of $279 due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior period. We believe these increases were partially offset by lower consumer demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which drove a decrease in the quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products sold during the period.

Consolidated domestic sales increased $5,892, or 20.5%, to $34,686 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated domestic sales of $28,794 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in sales was attributable to the increase in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold of $7,573. We believe the increase in domestic sales was partially offset by lower consumer demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which drove a decrease in the quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products sold during the period.

Consolidated international sales decreased $1,604, or 5.1%, to $29,805 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated international sales of $31,409 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. We believe the decrease in international sales was attributable to lower consumer demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which drove a decrease in the

quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products sold during the period. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold of $1,103 and an increase in sales of $279 due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior period.

Cost of Goods Sold

Consolidated cost of goods sold increased $3,176, or 8.0%, to $42,822 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated cost of goods sold of $39,646 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of units sold.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $1,112 or 5.4%, to $21,669 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated gross profit of $20,557 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Consolidated gross margin was 33.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a consolidated gross margin of 34.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Consolidated gross margin during the three months ended September 30, 2020, decreased compared to the prior year due to unfavorable impacts on our supply chain and logistic activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling, General and Administrative

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $2,231, or 13.6%, to $18,674 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $16,443 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses reflect an increase of stock compensation of $3,526 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year. The increase was partially offset by the cost-saving initiatives implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily related to reductions within sales, marketing, research and development, and brand supporting activities.

Transaction Costs

Consolidated transaction expense increased to $1,440 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated transaction costs of $37 during the three months ended September 30, 2019, which consisted of expenses related to the Company’s various acquisition efforts, including acquiring the Barnes Purchased Assets.

Interest Expense, net

Consolidated interest expense, net during the three months ended September 30, 2020 remained relatively consistent with consolidated interest expense, net, during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Other, net

Consolidated other, net, income increased $869, or 206.9%, to $449 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated other, net expense of $420 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in other, net, was primarily attributable to an increase in remeasurement gains recognized on the Company’s foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. This decrease was partially offset by losses on mark-to-market adjustments on non-hedged foreign currency contracts.

Income Taxes

Consolidated income tax expense increased $777, or 413.3%, to $589 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a consolidated income tax benefit of $188 during the same period in 2019. Our effective income tax rate was 33.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and was higher compared to the statutory tax rates due to permanent book to tax differences primarily related to incentive stock options. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, our effective income tax rate was 5.7% and was lower compared to the statutory tax rates due to a stock compensation windfall.

We believe lower consumer demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic drove a decrease in the quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products sold during the period. We also experienced a decrease in sales of $297 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold of $8,282.

Consolidated domestic sales decreased $4,312, or 4.9%, to $83,493 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated domestic sales of $87,805 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We believe the decrease in domestic sales was attributable to lower consumer demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which drove a decrease in the quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products sold during the period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold of $9,622.

Consolidated international sales decreased $16,043, or 19.9%, to $64,567 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated international sales of $80,610 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We believe the decrease in

international sales was attributable to lower consumer demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which drove a decrease in the quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products sold during the period. We also experienced a decrease in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold of $1,340 and a decrease in sales of $297 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior period.

The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of units sold due to lower consumer demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit decreased $7,788 or 13.3%, to $50,817 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated gross profit of $58,605 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Consolidated gross margin was 34.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a consolidated gross margin of 34.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Consolidated gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased compared to the prior year due to unfavorable impacts on our supply chain and logistic activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, along with negative impacts from foreign currency and tariffs.

Selling, General and Administrative

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $678, or 1.3%, to $50,537 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $51,215 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses reflect the cost-saving initiatives implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily related to reductions within sales, marketing, and logistics. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of stock compensation of $3,187 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year.

Restructuring Charges

Consolidated restructuring expense decreased to $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated restructuring expense of $13 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Restructuring expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, related to costs associated with the formal closure and liquidation of the Company’s Black Diamond Equipment manufacturing operations in Zhuhai, China.

The increase in other, net, was primarily attributable to an increase in remeasurement gains recognized on the Company’s foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable.

Income Taxes

Consolidated income tax benefit decreased $28, or 4.9%, to $542 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a consolidated income tax benefit of $570 during the same period in 2019. Our effective income tax rate was 26.2% for the nine months

ended September 30, 2020, and was higher compared to the statutory tax rates due to permanent book to tax differences primarily related to incentive stock options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our effective income tax rate was 9.5% and is lower compared to the statutory tax rates due to a discrete benefit associated with a release of a tax reserve. Factors that could cause our annual effective tax rate to differ materially from our quarterly effective tax rates include changes in the geographic mix of taxable income and discrete events that may occur.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Condensed Consolidated Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Condensed Consolidated Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Our primary ongoing funding requirements are for working capital, expansion of our operations (both organically and through acquisitions) and general corporate needs, as well as investing activities associated with the expansion into new product categories. We plan to fund these activities through a combination of our future operating cash flows and revolving credit facility which had approximately $38,900 available to borrow at September 30, 2020. We believe that our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months will be adequately covered by cash provided by operations and our existing revolving credit facility. However, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, and resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions and disruption of financial markets. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, ability to meet debt covenants, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition. Given the economic uncertainty as a result of the pandemic, we have taken actions to improve our current liquidity position, including drawing on the credit facility, suspending share repurchases and cash dividends, postponing nonessential capital expenditures, reducing operating costs, modulating production in line with demand, initiating workforce reductions and furloughs, and substantially reducing discretionary spending.

Further, we borrowed $20,000 under the term loan portion of the Credit Agreement to increase our overall liquidity. The Company is required to repay the term loan through quarterly payments of $1,000 each beginning with September 30, 2020, and any remaining obligations will be repaid in full on the maturity date of the Credit Agreement of May 3, 2024.

Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with three existing stockholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold its common stock in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were $11,151, after deducting estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company, and were used to pay down amounts outstanding on our revolving loan commitment. The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-218751), previously filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission

At September 30, 2020, we had total cash of $17,027, compared to a cash balance of $1,703 at December 31, 2019, which was substantially controlled by the Company’s U.S. entities. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $6,093 of the $17,027 in cash held by foreign entities, of which $762 is considered permanently reinvested.

The following presents a discussion of cash flows for the condensed consolidated nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the condensed consolidated nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during 2020 is primarily due to an increase in net operating assets, or non-cash working capital, of $20,915, and stock compensation of $3,187, partially offset by a decrease in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.

Free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, of $17,442 was generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $2,797 generated during the same period in 2019. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measure, free cash flow, provides an understanding of the capital required by the Company to expand its asset base. A reconciliation of free cash flows to comparable GAAP financial measures is set forth below:

|  | Nine Months Ended
|  | September 30, 2020 |  | September 30, 2019
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 21,048 |  | $ | 5,635
Purchase of property and equipment |  |  | (3,606) |  |  | (2,838)
Free cash flow |  | $ | 17,442 |  | $ | 2,797

Net Cash From Investing Activities

Consolidated net cash used in investing activities was $33,779 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2,818 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is due to a deposit the Company paid to be applied to the purchase of the assets of the Barnes brand as well as an increase in purchases of property and equipment, compared to the same period in 2019.

Net Cash From Financing Activities

Consolidated net cash provided by financing activities was $27,956 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated net cash used of $3,379 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in cash provided during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the proceeds of $20,000 borrowed under the term loan and the net proceeds from the Offering of $11,151. These increases were partially offset by net repayments to the revolving line of credit and repayments of the term loan.

Net Operating Loss

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had net operating loss and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $131,621 and $4,250, respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal NOL will offset some of its future U.S. Federal income taxes. The majority of the Company’s pre-tax income is currently earned and expected to be earned in the U.S., or taxed in the U.S. as Subpart F income and will be offset with the NOL. $131,621 of net operating losses available to offset taxable income does not expire until 2022 or later, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $43,945. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $28,632, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $15,313, before deferred tax liabilities of $8,633. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against a portion of the net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, because the ultimate realization of those assets does not meet the more likely than not criteria. The majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes. If a change in control were to occur, these could be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended.

Credit Agreement

On May 3, 2019, the Company together with certain of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) and the other loan parties party thereto entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, for borrowings of up to $60,000 under a revolving credit facility (including up to $5,000 for letters of credit), and borrowings of up to $40,000 under a term loan facility that is available to be drawn until May 3, 2020. The Credit Agreement also

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

permits the Borrowers, subject to certain requirements, to arrange with lenders for an aggregate of up to $50,000 of additional revolving and/or term loan commitments (both of which are currently uncommitted), for potential aggregate revolving and term loan commitments under the Credit Agreement of up to $150,000. The Credit Agreement matures on May 3, 2024.

The Borrowers may elect to have the revolving and term loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at an alternate base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate for these borrowings will range from 0.50% to 1.25% per annum, in the case of alternate base rate borrowings, and 1.50% to 2.25% per annum, in the case of Eurodollar borrowings. The applicable rate was initially 0.875% per annum, in the case of alternate base rate borrowings, and 1.875% per annum, in the case of Eurodollar borrowings, however, it may be adjusted from time to time based upon the level of the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also requires the Borrowers to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving and term loan commitments. Such commitment fee will range between 0.15% and 0.25% per annum, and is also based upon the level of the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had drawn approximately $21,066 of the $60,000 revolving loan commitment that was available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, and $19,000 outstanding under the term loan commitment. As of September 30, 2020, the interest rate for each loan was 1.6875%. On April 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $20,000 under the term loan facility and used the proceeds to pay down amounts outstanding under the revolving portion of the Credit Agreement. The Company is required to repay the term loan through quarterly payments of $1,000 each beginning with September 30, 2020, and any remaining obligations will be repaid in full on the maturity date of the Credit Agreement of May 3, 2024.

The Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions or other restricted payments if certain conditions in the Credit Agreement are not fulfilled. The Credit Agreement also includes other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants relating to the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2020.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosure contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Financial Officer, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2020, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020, were effective.

## Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions, which legal fees are expensed as incurred. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There is a reasonable possibility of loss from contingencies in excess of the amounts accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, the actual amounts of such possible losses cannot currently be reasonably estimated by the Company at this time. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a different effect.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company faces the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods. The Company is therefore vulnerable to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to its products and incidental to its business.

Based on current information, there are no pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, which the Company believes in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except for the risk factors discussed below and the risk factors presented in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Breaches of our information systems could adversely affect our reputation, disrupt our operations, and result in increased costs and loss of revenue.

There have been an increasing number of recent global cyber security incidents affecting companies, including us. These incidents could cause operational failures or compromise sensitive or confidential corporate and personal data. Because we are interconnected with and dependent on third-party vendors, we could also be adversely affected if we or any of our vendors are subject to a successful cyber-attack or other information security event. Such cyber security incidents may result in the loss or compromise of customer, financial, or operational data; disruption of billing, collections, or normal operating activities; disruption of electronic monitoring and control of operational systems; and delays in financial reporting and other management functions, and our acquisition activities could increase such risk. There can be no guarantees that such a cyber incident would not result in the unauthorized access to or the disclosure of customer data, our trade secrets or other intellectual property, or personal information of our employees. There can be no guarantee that the disclosure of any of this information would not have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations. We continually evaluate our systems and may implement further controls and additional preventative actions to further strengthen our systems against attacks. We cannot assure you that such measures will provide absolute security, that we will be

33

CLARUS CORPORATION

able to react in a timely manner, or that our remediation efforts following past or future attacks will be successful. Possible impacts associated with a cyber security incident may include, among other things, business interruption, ransom payments, the identification of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, remediation costs related to lost, stolen, or compromised data; repairs to data processing systems; increased cyber security protection costs; reputational damage; and adverse effects on our compliance with privacy and other laws and regulations that are applicable to us. We have insurance coverage to protect us against losses from certain cyber security incidents, including liability for third-party vendors who mishandle our information. However, there can be no guarantee that every potential loss due to cyber-attack or theft of information has been insured against, nor that the limits of the insurance we have acquired will be sufficient to cover all such losses.

Adverse publicity about the Company and/or its brands, including without limitation, through social media or in connection with brand damaging events and/or public perception could negatively impact our business.

Negative claims or publicity involving us, our board of directors, our brands, our products, services and experiences, consumer data, or any of our key employees, endorsers, or suppliers could seriously damage our reputation and the image of our brands, regardless of whether such claims are accurate.

Social media, which accelerates and potentially amplifies the scope of negative publicity, can increase the challenges of responding to negative claims. Adverse publicity could also damage our reputation and the image of our brands, undermine consumer confidence in us and reduce long-term demand for our products, even if such adverse publicity is unfounded or not material to our operations. If the reputation, culture or image of any of our brands is tarnished or if we receive negative publicity, then our sales, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
