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 six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2022. 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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2022.

The Company’s products are principally sold globally under the Black Diamond®, Sierra®, Barnes® ~~and~~, Rhino-Rack® and MAXTRAX® brand names through outdoor specialty and online retailers, our own websites, distributors and original equipment manufacturers.

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 net assets acquired in business combinations, excess or obsolete inventory, allowance for credit losses, contingent consideration liabilities, 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 during 2022

~~In March 2020,~~During the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued~~three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU was adopted on a prospective basis. 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~~was 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. Management will continue to evaluate the impact of the adoption and implementation~~ of this standard ~~but currently~~ ~~management does~~did not ~~believe that the impact of transitioning from LIBOR to SOFR will~~ have a material effect on the ~~interest rates of the company~~.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

MAXTRAX

On November 26, 2021, Clarus entered into a Share and Unit Purchase Agreement (the “MAXTRAX Purchase Agreement”) to acquire ~~Australia-based~~ MaxTrax Australia Pty Ltd (“MAXTRAX”), which subsequently closed on December 1, 2021. All United States dollar amounts contained herein are based on the exchange rates in effect for Australian dollars ($AUD) and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of closing of the acquisition of MAXTRAX (the “MAXTRAX Acquisition”).

The Company acquired MAXTRAX for an aggregate purchase price of $AUD 49,744 (approximately $35,475), subject to a post-closing adjustment, comprised of $AUD 37,551 (approximately $26,780) cash, 107 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2,594, and additional consideration described below. The MAXTRAX Purchase Agreement also provides for the payment of additional consideration in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $AUD 6,250 (approximately $4,457) split equally on

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

June 30, 2022 and 2023. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, approximately 108 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in accordance with the MAXTRAX Purchase Agreement as additional consideration. The MAXTRAX Purchase Agreement provides for the payment of additional contingent consideration up to $AUD 6,250 (approximately $4,457) in cash if certain future net sales thresholds are met during 2022 and 2023 (the “MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration to be $AUD 2,307 (approximately $1,644) and has recorded this liability within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The net sales threshold required for the payment of the 2022 portion of the MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration was met during the 2022 measurement period ended June 30, 2022. See Note 10 for discussion regarding the valuation of the MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration as of June 30, 2022. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

Rhino-Rack

On May 30, 2021, Clarus entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire ~~Australia-based~~ Rhino-Rack Holdings Pty Ltd (“Rhino-Rack”), which subsequently closed on July 1, 2021. All United States dollar amounts contained herein are based on the exchange rates in effect for Australian dollars ($AUD) and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of closing of the acquisition of Rhino-Rack (the “Rhino-Rack Acquisition”).

The Company acquired Rhino-Rack for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $AUD 269,696 (approximately $202,488), subject to a post-closing adjustment, comprised of approximately $AUD 191,249 (approximately $143,590) cash, 2,315 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $55,333, and additional contingent consideration described below. The Purchase Agreement also provides for the payment of additional contingent consideration up to approximately $AUD 10,000 (approximately $7,508) if certain future net sales thresholds are met (the “Rhino-Rack Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the Rhino-Rack Contingent Consideration to be approximately $AUD 4,747 (approximately $3,565) and has recorded this liability within accrued liabilities. The net sales threshold required for the payment of the Rhino-Rack Contingent Consideration was not met during the measurement period ended June 30, 2022. See Note 10 for discussion regarding the valuation of the Rhino-Rack Contingent Consideration as of June 30, 2022. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The Company believes the acquisitions of MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack are 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 seek to 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 fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation for MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack are based on the Company’s best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary. Since our initial purchase price allocation for the MAXTRAX acquisition, we have increased the fair value of accrued liabilities assumed and goodwill by $741. These adjustments were made after receiving certain information, which existed as of the date of acquisition, related to the fair value of assumed liabilities and such amounts were recorded during the first quarter of 2022. The fair value measurements of identifiable assets and liabilities, and the resulting goodwill related to the MAXTRAX ~~and Rhino-Rack Acquisitions~~Acquisition are subject to change and the final purchase price allocations could be different from the amounts presented below. We expect to finalize the ~~valuations~~valuation of MAXTRAX as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the date of the ~~acquisitions.~~acquisition. The fair value measurements for the acquisition of Rhino-Rack have been completed. The excess of purchase consideration over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill for MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack is included in the Adventure segment. The goodwill consists largely of the growth and profitability expected from these acquisitions.

On January 3, 2022, the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries ~~(each, a “Loan Party” and, collectively, the “Loan Parties”)~~ entered into Amendment No. 4 ~~to the Credit Agreement~~ (“Amendment No. 4”), to the existing credit agreement, dated as ~~previously amended, with~~of May 3, 2019 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders ~~from time to time~~ party ~~thereto (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”).~~thereto. Amendment No. 4, among other things, permits (i) the Company to borrow in Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars in order to support the operations of the Company in Australia and New Zealand and (ii) provides for addbacks to EBITDA, for debt covenant purposes, (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement for expenses relating to activities in respect of acquisitions, dispositions, investments and financings (whether or not these transactions are actually consummated).

~~The~~On April 18, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ~~continues~~with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) pursuant to ~~permit~~which the ~~Loan Parties,~~Existing Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety.

The Restated Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $300,000 under a secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loans”) (including up to $5,000 for letters of credit), and borrowings of up to $125,000 under a secured term loan facility (the “Term Loans”). The Restated Credit Agreement also permits the Company, subject to certain requirements, to arrange with lenders for an aggregate of up to ~~$50,000~~$175,000 of additional revolving and/or term loan commitments (both of which are currently uncommitted), for potential aggregate revolving and term loan commitments under the Restated Credit Agreement of up to ~~$275,000.~~$600,000. The Restated Credit Agreement matures on April 18, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the revolving commitments thereunder will terminate and all outstanding Revolving Loans and Term Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, must be repaid.

The Term Loans were fully drawn on the Effective Date and cannot be reborrowed. The Restated Credit Agreement provides for quarterly amortization payments of the Term Loans on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on June 30, 2022. Through and including the payment due on March 31, 2023, the scheduled amortization payment is $1,563 per quarter, and each scheduled amortization payment due thereafter through the Maturity Date is $3,125 per quarter.

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 term benchmark borrowings, however, these initial applicable rates may be adjusted from time to time based upon the level of the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio.

All obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are secured by our subsidiary equity interests, as well as accounts receivable, inventory, intellectual property and certain other assets owned by the Company. The Restated Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions or other restricted payments if certain conditions in the Restated Credit Agreement are not fulfilled. The Restated 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.

NOTE 8. 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.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company held commodity derivative contracts, with remaining maturities of less than one year, to mitigate the risk of commodity price fluctuations associated with raw material costs. The notional amount of the commodity derivative contracts as of June 30, 2022 was 1,264 pounds. These contracts are not designated as accounting hedges and the changes in fair value of the instruments are recognized in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, losses of $(553) were recorded in other, net expense.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company held currency forward contracts to mitigate currency fluctuations related to the cash purchase price of Rhino-Rack totaling $AUD 193,650 with a maturity date of July 1, 2021. These contracts were not designated as accounting hedges and the changes in fair value of the instruments were recognized in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, losses of $(4,513) were recorded in other, net expense.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, 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. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there was no such exposure to the counterparties. The Company’s exposure of counterparty credit risk is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain of ~~$534~~$1,052 on all contracts at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. 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,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

NOTE 10. 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.

~~Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:~~

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models. No nonrecurring fair value measurements existed at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company estimated the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities primarily using a series of call ~~options.~~options or other valuation methodologies. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation include discount rates ranging from 4.8% to 8.0%. Contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured at the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in contingent consideration expense (benefit) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for such period. We measure the initial liability and remeasure the liability on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

The net sales threshold required for the payment of the Rhino-Rack Contingent Consideration was not met during the measurement period ended June 30, 2022. The net sales threshold required for the payment of the 2022 portion of the MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration was met during the 2022 measurement period ended June 30, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, $AUD 3,125 (approximately $2,148) was paid in cash in accordance with the MAXTRAX Purchase Agreement.

The following table summarizes the changes in contingent consideration liabilities:


			Rhino-Rack		MAXTRAX		Total

Balance at December 31, 2021	$	3,485	$	1,813	$	1,672	$	3,485

Balance at March 31, 2022	$	4,388
Balance at June 30, 2022			$	-	$	3,652	$	3,652

As the contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period, significant increases or decreases in projected sales, discount rates or the time until payment is made would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Our determination of fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities could change in future periods based on our ongoing evaluation of these significant unobservable inputs.

NOTE 11. 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 ~~April~~July 29, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the payment on ~~May 20,~~August 19, 2022 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 9,~~August 8, 2022.

NOTE 12. 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:

NOTE 13. 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~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company issued stock options for an aggregate of ~~353~~428 shares under the 2015 Plan to directors and employees of the Company. Of the ~~353~~428 options, 343 vest and become exercisable over a period of three years, 75 vest in four equal consecutive quarterly tranches from the date of grant and the remaining 10 vest immediately. All of the issued stock options expire ten years from the date of the grant.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

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:

Options Granted During the ~~Three~~Six Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022


Number of options	343	10	418	10
Option vesting period	3 Years	Immediate	1 - 3 Years	Immediate
Grant price (per share)	$21.83 - $27.65	$21.83	$20.21 - $27.65	$21.83
Dividend yield	0.36% - 0.46%	0.46%	0.36% - 0.49%	0.46%
Expected volatility (a)	38.6% - 38.7%	39.40%	38.6% - 40.8%	39.4%
Risk-free interest rate	1.46% - 1.68%	1.66%	1.46% - 2.95%	1.66%
Expected life (years) (b)	6.00	5.50	5.31 - 6.00	5.50
Weighted average fair value (per share)	$8.24 - $10.41	$8.03	$7.95 - $10.41	$8.03

(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~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was ~~$2,967,~~$3,564, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the options.

Market Condition Restricted Shares Granted:

On March 4, 2022, the Company issued and granted to certain employees restricted stock awards of 700 restricted shares under the 2015 Plan, of which 700 restricted shares will vest if, on or before March 4, 2032, the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Company’s common stock shall have equaled or exceeded $50.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days. For computing the fair value of the 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 following assumptions:


		March 4, 2022

Number issued		700
Market condition vesting requirement		$50.00 stock price target
~~Grant price~~Price on date of grant (per share)		$21.83
Dividend yield		0.46%
Expected volatility		41.0%
Risk-free interest rate		1.74%
Weighted average fair value (per share)		$15.37

~~CLARUS CORPORATION~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

~~(in thousands, except per share amounts)~~

Using these assumptions, the fair value of the market condition restricted stock awards granted on March 4, 2022, was approximately $10,761 and the expected term was 4.15 years.

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,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021 was ~~$3,367~~$3,555 and ~~$1,524,~~$1,826, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $6,922 and $3,350, respectively. For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, the majority of stock-based compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there were ~~1,701~~1,615 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of ~~$7,904~~$7,123 related to unvested stock options, as well as 1,546 unvested restricted stock awards and unrecognized compensation costs of ~~$13,083~~$10,781 related to unvested restricted stock awards.

NOTE 14. 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

CLARUS CORPORATION

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

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 15. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and its foreign operations have statutory tax rates of approximately 25% in Austria, 28% in New Zealand, and 30% in Australia.

The difference between the Company’s estimated effective tax ~~rate~~rates of ~~23.4%~~20.3% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% ~~were~~was due to the impact of foreign tax credits. The difference between the Company’s estimated effective tax rates of 22.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% was due to the impact of foreign earnings taxed at applicable statutory rates and permanent book to tax differences related to incentive stock options and officer compensation limitations.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $38,184. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $4,378, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $33,806, before deferred tax liabilities of $46,653. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2021, the Company had NOLs and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $60,712 and $2,289, respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal NOLs will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes until expiration.

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

NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate our business structure within 3 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 Outdoor 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.

~~advance our markets. We currently employ approximately 120 engineers across the portfolio, focusing on enhancing our customers’~~ performance in the most critical moments. Our commitment to quality, rigorous safety, and ultimately best-in-class design is evidenced by outstanding industry recognition, as we have received numerous product awards across our portfolio of super fan brands.

Each of our brands represents a unique customer value proposition. Supported by six decades of proven innovation, Black Diamond, is an established global leader in high-performance, activity-based climbing, skiing, and technical mountain sports equipment. The brand is synonymous with premium performance, safety and reliability. Our Sierra and Barnes brands have been leading specialty manufacturers of bullets and ammunition for over 50 years.

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.

Impact of COVID-19

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by each of the U.S., European, and Australian governments 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., European, Australian and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, and resulted in significant transport restrictions and disruption of global financial markets.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global supply chain, with restrictions and limitations on related activities causing disruption and delay, along with increased raw material, storage, and shipping costs. These disruptions and delays have strained domestic and international supply chains, which have affected and could continue to negatively affect the flow or availability of certain critical raw materials and finished good products that the Company relies upon. Furthermore, significantly increased demand from online sales channels, including our website, has impacted our logistical operations, including our fulfillment and shipping functions, which has resulted in periodic delays in the delivery of our products.

We expect a continued impact on the Company’s sales and profitability in future periods due to the ongoing impact of the pandemic. 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, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Management’s discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the 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 consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and

2428

~~of contingent liabilities at the date of the 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.

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, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~Three~~Six Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 Compared to ~~Three~~Six Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021

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 various brands. We plan to fund these activities through a combination of our future operating cash flows and revolving credit facility which had approximately ~~$69,519~~$274,528 available to borrow at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. We believe that our liquidity requirements and contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months will be adequately covered by cash provided by operations and our existing revolving credit facility. Additionally, long-term contractual obligations are also currently expected to be funded from cash from operations and availability under our existing credit facilities.

~~On January 3, 2022,~~ For additional information regarding the ~~Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”), as previously amended, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and~~Company’s existing credit facilities, see the ~~lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the~~section titled “Credit Agreement”). Amendment No. 4, among other things, permits (i) the Company to borrow in Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars in order to support the operations of the Company in Australia and New Zealand and (ii) provides for addbacks to EBITDA, for debt covenant purposes, (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement for expenses relating to activities in respect of acquisitions, dispositions, investments and financings (whether or not these transactions are actually consummated). The Company is required to repay the term loan through quarterly payments of $1,563 each beginning with September 30, 2021, increasing to $3,125 beginning September 30, 2022, and any remaining obligations will be repaid in full on the maturity date of the Credit Agreement of May 3, 2024. The maximum consolidated total leverage ratio permitted under the Credit Agreement is 4.25:1.00. below.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had total cash of ~~$16,451,~~$13,888, compared to a cash balance of $19,465 at December 31, 2021. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company had ~~$11,577~~$5,301 of the ~~$16,451~~$13,888 in cash held by foreign entities, of which ~~$9,375~~$3,614 is considered permanently reinvested.

The following presents a discussion of cash flows for the condensed consolidated ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared with the condensed consolidated ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Net Cash From Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was ~~$10,795~~$6,276 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to net cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities of ~~$2,518~~$362 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The change in net cash used in operating activities during 2022 is primarily due to an increase in net operating assets, or non-cash working capital, of ~~$15,586,~~$20,963, partially offset by ~~an increase~~increases in depreciation and amortization ~~and~~expenses, as well as stock compensation during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

Free cash flow, defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, of ($~~12,695)~~10,348) was used during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ($~~3,865)~~2,863) used during the same period in 2021. 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:

Net Cash From Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was ~~$1,900~~$3,774 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to ~~$1,347~~$3,200 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The increase in cash used during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 is due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment, compared to the same period in 2021.

Net Cash From Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was ~~$8,467~~$4,930 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to net cash used by financing activities of ~~$7,196~~$8,031 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The increase in cash provided during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to the net proceeds to the revolving line of credit. Cash used by financing activities during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 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, 2021, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $60,712 and $2,289, respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal NOLs will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes until expiration. The Company has $60,712 of NOLs, of which, $39,507 expire on December 31, 2022. These NOLs are subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $38,184. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $4,378, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $33,806, before deferred tax liabilities of $46,653. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against a portion of the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021, 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.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company had drawn approximately ~~$30,481~~$25,472 of the ~~$100,000~~$300,000 revolving loan commitment that was available for borrowing under the ~~Existing~~Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below), and ~~$120,313~~$123,438 was outstanding under the term loan commitment. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the interest ~~rate for each~~rates on the revolving loan ~~was 2.3750%~~and term loan commitments were approximately 3.5%.. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants set forth in the ~~Existing~~Restated Credit Agreement as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

On April 18, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, Black Diamond Retail, Inc., Black Diamond Retail – Alaska, LLC, Sierra Bullets, L.L.C., SKINourishment, LLC, Black Diamond Retail – Colorado, LLC, Black Diamond Retail – Montana, LLC, Black Diamond Retail – Wyoming, LLC, Barnes Bullets-Mona, LLC, Black Diamond Retail – Oregon, LLC, Black Diamond Retail – Vermont, LLC (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”) and the other loan parties party thereto (together with the Borrowers, each a “Loan Party”, and collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the lenders party thereto (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which the existing Credit Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2019 (as amended prior to the Effective Date, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders and loan parties from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent was amended and restated in its entirety. Each of the Loan Parties, other than the Company, is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company.

The Restated Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $300,000 under a secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loans”) (including up to $5,000 for letters of credit), and borrowings of up to $125,000 under a secured term loan facility (the “Term Loans”). The Restated Credit Agreement also permits the Borrowers, subject to certain requirements, to arrange with lenders for an aggregate of up to $175,000 of additional revolving and/or term loan commitments (both of which are currently uncommitted), for potential aggregate revolving and term loan commitments under the Restated Credit Agreement of up to $600,000. The proceeds of loans made under the Restated Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions

permitted under the Restated Credit Agreement. The Restated Credit Agreement matures on April 18, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the revolving commitments thereunder will terminate and all outstanding Revolving Loans and Term Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, must be repaid.

commencing on June 30, 2022. Through and including the payment due on March 31, 2023, the scheduled amortization payment is $1,563 per quarter, and each scheduled amortization payment due thereafter through the Maturity Date is $3,125 per quarter.

The Borrowers may elect to have the Revolving Loans and Term Loans under the Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at an applicable rate plus either:

(i) in the case of alternate base rate borrowings, a rate per annum generally equal to the greatest of:

(a)

the prime rate in effect on such day;

(b)

0.50% plus the greater of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s effective federal funds rate or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s overnight bank funding rate in effect on such day; and

(c)

1.00% plus the adjusted term SOFR rate for a 1-month interest period;

provided that, in certain circumstances where the alternate base rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest, the alternate base rate shall be determined only according to (a) and (b), and shall be subject to a 1.00% floor; or

(ii) in the case of term benchmark borrowings, a rate per annum as follows:

(a)

for borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, the term SOFR rate (based on one, three or six-month interest periods) plus 0.10%, subject to a 0.00% floor; or

(b)

for borrowings denominated in a Foreign Currency, the applicable rate for such Foreign Currency set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement.

The applicable rate for these borrowings will range from 0.50% to 1.625% per annum, in the case of alternate base rate borrowings, and 1.50% to 2.625% per annum, in the case of term benchmark 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 term benchmark borrowings, however, these initial applicable rates may be adjusted from time to time based upon the level of the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, which is more fully discussed in the Restated Credit Agreement. If one or more of the above interest rates are not determinable, or under certain other circumstances set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement, a substitute or alternative interest rate may apply under the Restated Credit Agreement.

The Restated Credit Agreement also requires the Borrowers to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving loan commitments. Such commitment fee will range between 0.15% and 0.30% per annum, and is also based upon the level of the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, which is more fully discussed in the Restated Credit Agreement. The Company is also obligated to pay other customary closing fees, arrangement fees, administration fees and letter of credit fees for a credit facility of this size and type.

The Restated Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to perform the following, subject to certain customary exceptions, qualifications and “baskets”: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens; (iii) engage in mergers, consolidations, certain divisions, liquidations or dissolutions other than in certain permitted instances as described in the Restated Credit Agreement; (iv) substantially change the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries; (v) make certain investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions other than in certain permitted instances as described in the Restated Credit Agreement; (vi) sell assets; (vii) pay dividends or make distributions or other restricted payments if certain conditions in the Restated Credit Agreement are not fulfilled; (viii) prepay other indebtedness; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (x) enter into agreements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries or the ability of subsidiaries to grant liens upon their assets; (xi) amend certain charter documents and material agreements governing subordinated indebtedness; (xii) permit the consolidated total leverage ratio, which is to be determined for each quarter end on a trailing twelve month basis, from exceeding a limit of 3:75 to 1, provided, that, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement, so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) exists at such time or would result therefrom, the Company may elect to increase the maximum consolidated total leverage ratio permitted under the Restated Credit Agreement to 4.25:1.00 for a period of four

consecutive fiscal quarters in connection with any acquisition permitted under the Restated Credit Agreement for which the aggregate consideration is greater than or equal to $60,000; and (xiii) permit the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, which is to be determined for each quarter end on a trailing twelve month basis, to be less than 1.25 to 1.

The Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to: (i) failure to pay amounts due under the Restated Credit Agreement; (ii) materially incorrect representations and warranties; (iii) failure to comply with covenants; (iv) change of control; and (v) default under other indebtedness aggregating at least $3,000.

The obligations of each Loan Party under the Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each other Loan Party. All obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations (as well as banking services obligations and certain swap agreements), are secured by pledges and liens on 100% of the equity interests of domestic subsidiaries, either 100% or 65% of the equity interests of certain foreign subsidiaries, and the accounts receivable, inventory, intellectual property and certain real property or other assets of the Loan Parties pursuant to (i) a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2019, by and among certain of the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent (as amended from time to time prior to the Effective Date, the “PSA”), (ii) a General Security Deed, dated as of August 30, 2021, by and among certain of the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent (the “Oscar GSD”), (iii) a General Security Deed, dated as of January 31, 2022, by and among certain of the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent (the “Simpson GSD”) or (iv) a mortgage or other applicable security agreement or instrument. Each of the PSA, the Oscar GSD and the Simpson GSD was reaffirmed by the Loan Parties on the Effective Date pursuant to a Reaffirmation Agreement dated as of the Effective Date by and among the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties (the “Reaffirmation Agreement”) pursuant to which each Loan Party ratified and reaffirmed its obligations to the Lenders in connection with entering into the Restated Credit Agreement.

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, 2021.

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 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,~~June 30, 2022, 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 Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, were effective.

On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Australia-based Rhino-Rack Holdings Pty Ltd (“Rhino-Rack”). On December 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Australia-based MaxTrax Australia Pty Ltd (“MAXTRAX”). Management excluded Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company acquired MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack on December 1, 2021 and July 1, 2021, respectively. The Company is currently in the process of integrating the internal controls over financial reporting at MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack. Except for the continued integration of MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2022, 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

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

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, 2021.
