NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2021. 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, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 8, 2021.

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 constituting the Barnes business (“Barnes”).

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®, Barnes®, 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 and Barnes brands, 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. The more significant estimates relate to the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations, excess or obsolete inventory, allowance for credit losses and doubtful accounts, and valuation of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, projected future cash flows, 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

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

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.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

Barnes

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 constituting the Barnes business (“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. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) which commenced on July 27, 2020 in the United States Bankruptcy 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”). On October 2, 2020, Sierra completed the acquisition of the Barnes Purchased Assets. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The Company believes the acquisition of Barnes is expected to provide the Company with a greater combined global revenue base, increased gross margins, profitability and free cash flows, and access to increased liquidity to further acquire and grow businesses.

The following table is a reconciliation to the fair value of the purchase consideration and how the purchase consideration is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed which have been estimated at their fair values. The excess of purchase consideration over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the Sierra segment.

| Barnes
| Estimated Fair Value
Total Purchase Consideration | $ | 30,500
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed |  |
Assets |  |
Cash | $ | 2
Inventories |  | 4,535
Prepaid and other current assets |  | 612
Property and equipment |  | 4,036
Other intangible assets |  | 7,500
Indefinite-lived intangible assets |  | 5,600
Goodwill |  | 8,625
Other long-term assets |  | 4,355
Total Assets |  | 35,265
Liabilities |  |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities |  | 842
Other long-term liabilities |  | 3,923
Total Liabilities |  | 4,765
Net Book Value Acquired | $ | 30,500

The estimated fair value of inventory was recorded at expected sales price less cost to sell plus a reasonable profit margin for selling efforts.

CLARUS CORPORATION

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired exclusive rights to Barnes’ trademarks, customer relationships, and product technologies. The amounts assigned to each class of intangible asset, other than goodwill acquired, and the related average useful lives are as follows:

|  |  |  | Average
| Gross |  | Useful Life
Intangibles subject to amortization |  |  |  |  |
Customer relationships | $ | 5,700 |  |  | 10.0 years
Product technologies |  | 1,800 |  |  | 10.0 years
Intangibles not subject to amortization |  |  |  |  |
Trademarks |  | 5,600 |  |  | N/A
| $ | 13,100 |  |  | 10.0 years

The goodwill consists largely of the synergies expected from combining operations. The acquisition of Barnes is treated as a purchase of assets for tax purposes. As such, the basis in the assets of Barnes is equal for both book and tax, which results in no initial recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities. Furthermore, the full amount of goodwill recorded of $8,625 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. No pre-existing relationships existed between the Company and the Sellers prior to the acquisition. Barnes revenue and operating income were included in the Sierra segment.

The following unaudited pro forma results are based on the individual historical results of the Company and Barnes, with adjustments to give effect as if the acquisition and borrowings used to finance the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019, after giving effect to certain adjustments including the amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of fixed assets, interest expense and taxes and assumes the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of purchase.

| Three Months Ended
| March 31, 2020
Sales | $ | 57,964
Net income | $ | 354
Net income per share - basic | $ | 0.01
Net income per share - diluted | $ | 0.01

The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been consummated as of January 1, 2019. Furthermore, such pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined companies and should not be construed as representative of the operating results of the combined companies for any future dates or periods.

NOTE 6. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was as follows:

| March 31, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Revolving credit facility (a) | $ | 10,651 |  | $ | 15,579

Less current portion |  | (4,997) |  |  | (4,000)
| $ | 23,651 |  | $ | 30,621

(a)As of March 31, 2021, the Company had drawn $10,651 on the $60,000 revolving commitment that was available under the credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with a maturity date of May 3, 2024. The Company pays interest monthly on any borrowings on the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the rate was 1.6250% and 2.0625%, respectively.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by 100% of our domestic, and 65% of our foreign, subsidiary equity interests, as well as accounts receivable, inventory, intellectual property and certain other assets owned by the Company. 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 March 31, 2021.

(b)A foreign subsidiary of the Company has a revolving credit facility with a financial institution which matures on March 31, 2022. The foreign subsidiary pays interest monthly on any borrowings on the credit facility. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the rate was 1.3387% and 1.3387%, respectively.

(c)Under the Credit Agreement, the Company had access to a term loan facility that was available for drawdown until May 3, 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the rate was 1.6250% and 2.0625%, respectively.

NOTE 7. 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.

11

CLARUS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

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 March 31, 2021, the Company’s derivative contracts had remaining maturities of less than one year. 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 $379 as of March 31, 2021. The Company’s exposure of counterparty credit risk is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain on all contracts, which is $106 as of March 31, 2021. 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

| March 31, 2021
| Notional |  | Latest
| Amount |  | Maturity
Foreign exchange contracts - Canadian Dollars | $11,594 |  | February 2022
Foreign exchange contracts - Euros | € 19,966 |  | February 2022

| December 31, 2020
| Notional |  | Latest
| Amount |  | Maturity
Foreign exchange contracts - Canadian Dollars | $14,587 |  | February 2022
Foreign exchange contracts - Euros | € 24,481 |  | February 2022

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 and reclassified to sales in the period the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Gains (losses) of $(321) and $288 were reclassified to sales during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The following table presents the balance sheet classification and fair value of derivative instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

NOTE 9. 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.

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models. No nonrecurring fair value measurements existed at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

NOTE 10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

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. On April 30, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the payment on May 21, 2021 of the Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.025 to the record holders of shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on May 10, 2021.

NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings 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 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 per share:

| Three Months Ended
| March 31, 2021 |  | March 31, 2020
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic |  | 31,283 |  |  | 29,760
Effect of dilutive stock awards |  | 1,467 |  |  | 1,182
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted |  | 32,750 |  |  | 30,942
Net income per share: |  |  |  |  |
Basic | $ | 0.18 |  | $ | 0.00
Diluted |  | 0.17 |  |  | 0.00

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, equity awards of 500 and 798, respectively, were anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of earnings per share for these periods.

NOTE 12. 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 three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued stock options for an aggregate of 400 shares under the 2015 Plan to an employee of the Company. The options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2021 generally vest and become exercisable over a period of three years and expire ten years from the date of the grant.

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 |  | 400 |  |
Option vesting period |  | 3 Years |  |
Grant price (per share) |  | $15.15 |  |
Dividend yield |  | 0.66% |  |
Expected volatility (a) |  | 43.6% |  |
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.50% |  |
Expected life (years) (b) |  | 6.00 |  |
Weighted average fair value (per share) |  | $5.88 |  |

(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 three months ended March 31, 2021 was $2,352, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the options.

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 March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,524 and $613, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the majority of stock-based compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.

15

CLARUS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

As of March 31, 2021, there were 2,166 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $8,619 related to unvested stock options, as well as 500 unvested restricted stock awards and unrecognized compensation costs of $1,898 related to unvested restricted stock awards.

NOTE 13. 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 14. 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 months ended March 31, 2021, was due to a release of valuation allowance for the current year utilization of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and a stock compensation tax windfall, which were partially offset by permanent book to tax differences related to incentive stock options and officer compensation limitations.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $40,538. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $22,348, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $18,190, before deferred tax liabilities of $8,304. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 NOLs 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, 2020, the Company had NOLs and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $120,309 and $1,889, respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal NOLs will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes until expiration. 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 NOLs.

NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate our business structure within two segments. These segments are defined based on the internal financial reporting used by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. 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. Our Black Diamond segment offers 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.

Our Sierra segment, which includes Sierra and Barnes, includes two iconic American manufacturers of a wide range of high-performance bullets and ammunition for both rifles and pistols. These bullets are used for precision target shooting, hunting and military and law enforcement purposes.

As noted above, the Company has a wide variety of technical outdoor equipment and lifestyle products focused on the climb, ski, mountain and sport product categories that are sold to a variety of customers in multiple end markets. While there are multiple products sold, the terms and nature of revenue recognition policy is similar for all segments. The sport product category represents the Sierra segment revenue.

We divide our product offerings into four primary categories of climb, mountain, ski and sport. Revenue by category as a percentage of total consolidated revenues is as follows:

| Three Months Ended
| March 31, 2021 |  | March 31, 2020
Climb | 27 | % |  | 37 | %
Mountain | 26 | % |  | 31 | %

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 constituting the Barnes business (“Barnes”) for a purchase price of $30,500.

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. On April 30, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the payment on May 21, 2021 of the Quarterly Cash Dividend to the record holders of shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on May 10, 2021.

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.

We experienced a decline in retail demand within our Black Diamond segment beginning in the second half of March 2020 through December 2020, which negatively impacted our sales and profitability during this period. This continued during the three months ended March 31, 2021, although to a lesser extent, as certain countries began to ease restrictions. We expect a continued 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 Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have mitigated 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, temporarily suspending share repurchases, temporarily suspending cash dividends, postponing non-essential capital expenditures, reducing operating costs, modulating production in line with demand, and substantially reducing discretionary spending. 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.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act established a program with provisions to allow U.S. companies to defer the employer’s portion of social security taxes between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020 and pay such taxes in two installments in 2021 and 2022. As permitted by the CARES Act, we have deferred payment of the employer’s portion of social security payroll tax payments.

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 continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions including those related to derivatives, revenue recognition, income taxes 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.

Sales

Consolidated sales increased $21,776, or 40.7%, to $75,331, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated sales of $53,555 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the increase in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold by Sierra of $7,290 and the inclusion of Barnes, which contributed $8,485. The quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products also increased during the period. We experienced an increase in sales of $1,142 due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the prior period.

Consolidated domestic sales increased $19,025, or 66.6%, to $47,573 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated domestic sales of $28,548 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the increase in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold by Sierra of $8,241 and the inclusion of Barnes, which contributed $7,712. The quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products also increased during the period.

Consolidated international sales increased $2,751, or 11.0%, to $27,758 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated international sales of $25,007 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the increase in the quantity of new and existing climb, mountain, and ski products and the inclusion of Barnes, which contributed $773. We experienced an increase in sales of $1,142 due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior period. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the quantity of new and existing sport products sold by Sierra of $951.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Cost of Goods Sold

Consolidated cost of goods sold increased $13,238 or 37.8%, to $48,281 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated cost of goods sold of $35,043 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. 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 $8,538 or 46.1%, to $27,050 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated gross profit of $18,512 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Consolidated gross margin was 35.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a consolidated gross margin of 34.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Consolidated gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2021, increased compared to the prior year due to a favorable product mix in higher margin products. Gross margin benefited from the inclusion of Barnes; however, this benefit was offset by a decrease in gross margin of 0.5% due to the sale of Barnes inventory that was recorded at its fair value in purchase accounting during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $3,515, or 20.2%, to $20,885 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $17,370 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the inclusion of Barnes, which contributed $1,852, and an increase of stock compensation of $911 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year. The remaining increase was attributable to the Company’s investments in the brand related activities of sales, direct-to-consumer, and warehousing and logistics, focused on supporting its strategic initiatives around elevating brand awareness and being easier to do business with.

Transaction Costs

Consolidated transaction expense increased to $476 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated transaction costs of $250 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which consisted of expenses related to the Company’s various acquisition efforts.

Interest Expense, net

Consolidated interest expense, net during the three months ended March 31, 2021 remained relatively consistent with consolidated interest expense, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Other, net

Consolidated other, net expense decreased $391, or 73.6%, to $140 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated other, net expense of $531 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in other, net, was primarily attributable to a decrease in remeasurement losses recognized on the Company’s foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. This decrease was partially offset by changes on mark-to-market adjustments on non-hedged foreign currency contracts.

Income Taxes

Consolidated income tax decreased $380, or 2,714.3%, to a benefit of $366 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to income tax expense of $14 during the same period in 2020. Our effective income tax rate was a benefit of 6.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and differed compared to the statutory tax rates due to a release of a partial valuation allowance of the deferred tax assets and a discrete charge recorded during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our effective income tax rate was 28.0% and was higher compared to the statutory tax rates due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to the current year R&D tax credits lower compared to the statutory tax rates due to a stock compensation windfall.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Condensed Consolidated Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Condensed Consolidated Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

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 $49,300 available to borrow at March 31, 2021. 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, on April 30, 2020, we borrowed $20,000 under the term loan portion of the Credit Agreement (as defined below) 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. On November 12, 2020, the Company and certain of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (each, a “Borrower” and, collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment No. 2”) to that certain Credit Agreement, dated May 3, 2019 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). Amendment No. 2 increased the maximum consolidated total leverage ratio permitted under the Credit Agreement to 4.00:1.00 from 3.00:1.00. In addition, Amendment No. 2 permits, among other things, the issuance by the Company of debt securities, that may be convertible into equity interests of the Company, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000, and eliminates the requirement that the proceeds therefrom be used to prepay any revolving loans or term loans under the Credit Agreement.

At March 31, 2021, we had total cash of $6,525, compared to a cash balance of $17,789 at December 31, 2020, which was substantially controlled by the Company’s U.S. entities. At March 31, 2021, the Company had $3,846 of the $6,525 in cash held by foreign entities, of which $1,309 is considered permanently reinvested.

The following presents a discussion of cash flows for the condensed consolidated three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with the condensed consolidated three months ended March 31, 2020.

Cash, beginning of year |  | 17,789 |  |  | 1,703
Cash, end of period | $ | 6,525 |  | $ | 12,796

Net Cash From Operating Activities

Consolidated net cash used in operating activities was $2,518 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to consolidated net cash provided by operating activities of $3,499 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities to net cash used in operating activities during 2021 is primarily due to an increase in net operating assets, or non-cash working capital, of $12,700, partially offset by an increase in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Free cash flow, defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, of ($3,865) was used during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $2,197 generated during the same period in 2020. 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:

| Three Months Ended
| March 31, 2021 |  | March 31, 2020
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | $ | (2,518) |  | $ | 3,499
Purchase of property and equipment |  | (1,347) |  |  | (1,302)
Free cash flow | $ | (3,865) |  | $ | 2,197

Net Cash From Investing Activities

Consolidated net cash used in investing activities was $1,347 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1,299 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2021 is due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment, compared to the same period in 2020.

Net Cash From Financing Activities

Consolidated net cash used in financing activities was $7,196 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net cash provided of $8,649 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the net repayments to the revolving line of credit and repayments of the term loan.

Net Operating Loss

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $120,309 and $1,889, respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal NOLs will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes until expiration. 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 NOLs. $120,309 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, 2020, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $40,538. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $22,348, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $18,190, before deferred tax liabilities of $8,304. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against a portion of the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020, 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, Borrowers and the other loan parties party thereto entered into the Credit Agreement 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 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.

On November 12, 2020, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 2 of the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 2 increased the maximum consolidated total leverage ratio permitted under the Credit Agreement to 4.00:1.00 from 3.00:1.00. In addition, Amendment No. 2 permits, among other things, the issuance by the Company of debt securities, that may be convertible into equity interests of the Company, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000, and eliminates the requirement that the proceeds therefrom be used to prepay any revolving loans or term loans under the Credit Agreement.

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

25

CLARUS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

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.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by 100% of our domestic, and 65% of our foreign, subsidiary equity interests, as well as accounts receivable, inventory, intellectual property and certain other assets owned by the Company. 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 includes 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 March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had drawn approximately $10,651 of the $60,000 revolving loan commitment that was available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, and $17,000 outstanding under the term loan commitment. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate for each loan was 1.6250%. 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any transactions or have relationships or other arrangements with unconsolidated entities. These include special purpose and similar entities or other off-balance sheet arrangements. We also do not engage in energy, weather or other commodity-based contracts.

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, 2020.

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 Executive Vice President/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 March 31, 2021, 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 Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, were effective.

The Company acquired certain assets and liabilities constituting the Barnes business (“Barnes”) on October 2, 2020. Management excluded Barnes from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021. Barnes’ financial statements constitute 15% of total assets and 11% of total sales of the condensed consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

## Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On October 2, 2020, the Company acquired Barnes. Because Barnes utilizes separate information and accounting systems, the Company has implemented internal controls over financial reporting for acquisition-related accounting and disclosures. The Company’s management is reviewing and evaluating its internal control procedures and the design of those control procedures related to the Barnes’ acquisition and evaluating when it will complete an evaluation and review of Barnes’ internal controls over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Except as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021, 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

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, 2020.
