NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clarus Corporation and its subsidiaries (which may be collectively referred to as the “Company,” “Clarus,” “we,” “us” or “our”) as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2025. 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, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2025.

We believe that our portfolio of iconic brands is well-positioned for sustainable, long-term growth underpinned by industry trends across the outdoor and adventure sport end markets.
Sale of PIEPS | Sale of PIEPS On May 8, 2025, BD European Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of Black Diamond Austria GmbH, together with its operating subsidiary, PIEPS GmbH (collectively, “PIEPS”). On July 11, 2025, the Company completed the sale of PIEPS, which was included in the Company’s Outdoor segment, to a private investment firm for a total purchase price of €7,825 (approximately $9,124), including cash held at PIEPS of $1,311, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss on sale of $410, which is included in other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. We determined that the sale of the PIEPS business does not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, and therefore results were not classified as discontinued operations.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue recognition, income taxes and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, 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.
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash ​ Included within cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is restricted cash of $1,497 and $1,397, respectively, primarily related to a long-term lease agreement. Cash is restricted when withdrawal or general use is contractually or legally restricted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements issued and not yet adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose in its rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance will require all entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance makes several other changes to the disclosure requirements. All entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements, however it does not anticipate a material change to the consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires a public entity to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses on an annual and interim basis. The guidance will require all entities to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. The guidance also requires disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, as well as disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. All entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements, however it does not anticipate a material change to the consolidated financial statements.
