All statements other than statements of historical or current fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. Forward looking statements include, among other things, (i) statements as to our future performance or liquidity, such as expectations for our results of operation, net income, adjusted EBITDA, and ability to make quarterly distributions and (ii) our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, including our planned capital expenditures. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed or incorporated by reference in our filings with the SEC, ~~many~~including, but not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 24, 2021, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. Many of which ~~are beyond our control~~these risks and uncertainties . Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those estimates or projections contained in our forward-looking statements include, among other things:

•the adverse impact on the U.S. and global economy, including the markets in which we operate, of the novel coronavirus, which causes the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic, and the impact in the near, medium and long-term on our business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity or cash flows;

•difficulties and delays in integrating, or business disruptions following, acquisitions or an inability to fully realize cost savings and other benefit related thereto;

•our ability to successfully operate our businesses on a combined basis, and to effectively integrate and improve future acquisitions;

•our ability to remove CGM and CGM’s right to resign;

•our organizational structure, which may limit our ability to meet our dividend and distribution policy;

•our ability to service and comply with the terms of our indebtedness;

•our cash flow available for distribution and reinvestment and our ability to make distributions in the future to our shareholders;

•our ability to pay the management fee and profit allocation if and when due;

•our ability to make and finance future acquisitions;

•our ability to implement our acquisition and management strategies;

•the legal and regulatory environment in which our businesses operate;

•trends in the industries in which our businesses operate;

•changes in general economic, political or business conditions or economic, political or demographic trends in the United States and other countries in which we have a presence, including changes in interest rates and inflation;

•risks associated with possible disruption in operations or the economy generally due to terrorism or natural disaster or social, civil or political unrest;

•environmental risks affecting the business or operations of our businesses;

•our and CGM’s ability to retain or replace qualified employees of our businesses and CGM;

•costs and effects of legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations and claims; and

•extraordinary or force majeure events affecting the business or operations of our businesses.

Our actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Additional risks of which we are not currently aware or which we currently deem immaterial could also cause our actual results to differ.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking events discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Recently Issued~~ Accounting Pronouncements

Note B — Acquisition

Acquisition of Marucci Sports, LLC

On April 20, 2020, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on March 6, 2020, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Wheelhouse Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”) and Wheelhouse Holdings Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), completed a merger (the “Transaction”) with Marucci Sports, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Marucci”). Upon the completion of the Transaction, Marucci became a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer and an indirect subsidiary of the Company. Headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Marucci is a leading manufacturer and distributor of baseball and softball equipment. Founded in 2009, Marucci has a product portfolio that includes wood and metal bats, apparel and accessories, batting and fielding gloves and bags and protective gear.

The Company made loans to, and purchased a 92.2% equity interest in, Marucci. The purchase price, including proceeds from noncontrolling shareholders and net of transaction costs, was $198.9 million. Marucci management and certain existing shareholders invested in the Transaction along with the Company, representing 7.8% initial noncontrolling interest on both a primary and fully diluted basis. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on the enterprise value of the acquired entity multiplied by the ratio of the number of shares acquired by the minority holders to total shares. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. CGM acted as an advisor to the Company in the acquisition and will continue to provide integration services during the first year of the Company's ownership of Marucci. CGM will receive integration service fees of $2.0 million payable quarterly over a twelve month period as services are rendered ~~beginning~~which payments began in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company incurred $2.0 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the Marucci acquisition, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations during the second quarter of 2020.

The results of operations of Marucci have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. Marucci's results of operations are reported as a separate operating segment as a branded consumer business. The table below provides the recording of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.

(1) Includes $12.7 million in gross contractual accounts receivable, of which $1.2 million is not expected to be collected. The fair value of accounts receivable approximates book value acquired.

(2) Includes $4.3 million in inventory basis step-up, which will be charged to cost of goods sold. $3.0 million was amortized to cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2020, and $1.3 million was charged to cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 2020.

(3) Includes $2.5 million of property, plant and equipment basis step-up. The fair value of property, plant and equipment will be depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets.

The allocation of the purchase price presented above is based on management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including the income, cost and market approach. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities are valued at historical carrying values. Property, plant and equipment is valued through a purchase price appraisal and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives of the assets. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The goodwill of ~~$68.0~~$68.2 million reflects the strategic fit of Marucci

in the Company's branded consumer business and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. ~~The purchase accounting for Marucci is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2020.~~

Acquisition of Boa Technology, Inc.

On October 16, 2020, the Company, through its newly formed acquisition subsidiaries, BOA Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BOA Holdings”) and BOA Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BOA Buyer”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA Holdings, acquired Boa Technology Inc. ("BOA"), and its subsidiaries pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger”) by and among BOA Buyer, Reel Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Reel”) and the sole stockholder of Boa Technology, Inc., BOA Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA Buyer (“Merger Sub”) and Shareholder Representative Services LLC (in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of Reel) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Reel Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BOA”) and the sole stockholder of Boa Technology, Inc., BOA Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary

of BOA Buyer (“Merger Sub”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC (in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of BOA). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into BOA (the “Merger”) such that the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and BOA survived the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOA Buyer. BOA, creators of the award-winning BOA® Fit System featured in performance footwear, action sports, outdoor and medical products worldwide, was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

The Company made loans to, and purchased an 82% equity interest in, BOA. The purchase price, including proceeds from noncontrolling shareholders and net of transaction costs, was $454.3 million. BOA management and certain existing shareholders invested in the transaction along with the Company, representing 18% initial noncontrolling interest on both a primary and fully diluted basis. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on the enterprise value of the acquired entity multiplied by the ratio of the number of shares acquired by the minority holders to total shares. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. CGM acted as an advisor to the Company in the acquisition and will continue to provide integration services during the first year of the Company's ownership of BOA. CGM will receive integration service fees of $4.4 million payable quarterly over a twelve month period as services are rendered which payments began in the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The Company incurred $2.5 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the BOA acquisition, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations during the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand and a $300 million draw on its 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

The results of operations of BOA have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. BOA's results of operations are reported as a separate operating segment as a branded consumer business. The table below provides the recording of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.

The tradename was valued at $84.3 million using a relief-from-royalty method. The customer relationships, which represent BOA's relationship with brand partners, were valued at $73.0 million using the distributor method, a variation of the multi-period excess earnings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent it enables its owners to earn a return in excess of the required returns on the other assets utilized in the business.

Disaggregated Revenue - The Company disaggregates revenue by strategic business unit and by geography for each strategic business unit which are categories that depict how the nature, amount and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. This disaggregation also represents how the Company evaluates its financial performance, as well as how the Company communicates its financial performance to the investors and other users of its financial statements. Each strategic business unit represents the Company’s reportable segments and offers different products and services.

Note GF — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As a result of acquisitions of various businesses, the Company has significant intangible assets on its balance sheet that include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested and reviewed for impairment annually as of March 31st or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Each of the Company’s businesses represent a reporting unit.

Goodwill

~~2020~~2021 Annual Impairment Testing

The Company uses a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative goodwill impairment testing. We determined that the Arnold reporting unit required additional quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. For the reporting units that were tested only on a qualitative basis for the 2021 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying value of these reporting units.

The quantitative test of Arnold was performed using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The discount rate used in the income approach was 13.0% and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Arnold reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 272%.

2020 Annual Impairment Testing

The Company used a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment in the prior year. We determined that the Ergobaby, ~~Foam Fabricators~~Altor Solutions and Velocity reporting units required additional quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. For the reporting units that were tested only on a qualitative basis for the 2020 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying value of these reporting units.

The quantitative tests of Ergobaby, ~~Foam Fabricators~~Altor Solutions and Velocity were performed using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. For Ergobaby, the discount rate used in the income approach was 15.9% and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Ergobaby reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 14.0%. For ~~Foam Fabricators,~~Altor Solutions, the discount rate used in the income approach was 13.3%, and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the ~~Foam Fabricators~~Altor Solutions reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 3.8%. For Velocity, the discount rate used in the income approach was 12.8%, and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Velocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 16.4%.

~~2019 Interim Impairment Testing~~

~~Velocity Outdoor~~

The Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing of Velocity Outdoor at September 30, 2019. As a result of operating results below forecasts in the current period as well as a re-forecast of the Velocity business in which planned earnings and revenue fell below the forecasts of prior periods, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred in the third quarter of 2019. The Company used an income approach for the impairment test, whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins, and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The Company used a weighted average cost of capital of 12.2% in the income approach. The discount rate used was based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business specific characteristics and Velocity's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of Velocity did not exceed the carrying value, indicating that the goodwill at Velocity was impaired. The difference between the carrying value and fair value of the Velocity business was $32.9 million, which the Company recorded as impairment expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

~~2019 Annual Impairment Testing~~

All of the Company's reporting units were tested qualitatively at March 31, 2019. We determined that the Liberty reporting unit required additional quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. We used an income approach and market approach for the quantitative impairment test that was performed of the Liberty business at March 31, 2019, with equal weighting assigned to each. The discount rate used in the income approach was 14.8%. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Liberty reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively for the 2019 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.

A summary of the net carrying value of goodwill at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, is as follows (in thousands):

Nine months ended September 30, 2020 Year ended

Long lived assets

Annual indefinite lived impairment testing

The Company used a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. The Company evaluated the qualitative factors of each indefinite lived intangible asset in connection with the annual impairment testing for ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019.~~2020. Results of the qualitative analysis indicate that it is more likely than not that

~~2018~~2021 Credit Facility

On ~~April 18, 2018, the Company~~March 23, 2021, we entered into ana Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the ~~"2018~~"2021 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the ~~2014~~2018 Credit Facility ~~originally dated as of June 6, 2014~~ (as previously restated and amended) among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The ~~2018~~2021 Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company, including all of its equity interests in, and loans to, its consolidated subsidiaries. The ~~2018~~2021 Credit Facility provides for ~~(i)~~ revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit (the ~~“2018~~“2021 Revolving Credit Facility”) up to a maximum aggregate amount of $600 million and ~~(ii) a $500 million term loan (the “2018 Term Loan”). The 2018 Credit Facility~~ also permits the Company, prior to the applicable maturity date, to increase the revolving loan commitment and/or obtain ~~additional~~ term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, ~~(the “Incremental Loans”),~~ subject to certain restrictions and conditions.

~~2018 Revolving Credit Facility~~

All amounts outstanding under the ~~2018~~2021 Revolving Credit Facility will become due on ~~April 18, 2023,~~March 23, 2026, which is the maturity date of loans advanced under the ~~2018 Revolving~~2021 Credit Facility.

The Company may borrow, prepay and reborrow principal under the ~~2018~~2021 Revolving Credit Facility from time to time during its term. Advances under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility can be either Eurodollar rate loans or base rate loans. Eurodollar rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum based on the London Interbank Offered Rate or a Successor Rate, as defined, (the “Eurodollar Rate”) for such interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%, based on the ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to adjusted consolidated earnings before interest expense, tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses for such period (the “Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio”). Base rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the “prime rate”, and (iii) Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”), plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, based on the Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

Under the ~~2018~~2021 Revolving Credit Facility, an aggregate amount of up to $100 million in letters of credit may be issued, as well as swing line loans of up to $25 million outstanding at one time. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swing line loan would reduce the amount available under the ~~2018~~2021 Revolving Credit Facility.

~~2018 Term Loan~~

The 2018 Term Loan was issued at an original issuance discount of 99.75%. The 2018 Term Loan required quarterly payments of $1.25 million commencing June 30, 2018, with a final payment of all remaining principal and interest due on April 18, 2025, the maturity date of the 2018 Term Loan. In July 2019, the Company repaid approximately $193.8 million of the 2018 Term Loan using a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of Clean Earth, and in November 2019, the Company repaid the remaining $298.8 million balance due under the 2018 Term Loan.

Net availability under the ~~2018~~2021 Revolving Credit Facility was approximately ~~$598.8~~$593.7 million at ~~September 30, 2020. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company drew $300 million on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility to fund a portion of the purchase price of an acquisition.~~March 31, 2021. Letters of credit outstanding at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 totaled approximately ~~$1.2~~$1.3 million. At ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants as defined in the ~~2018~~2021 Credit Facility.

~~Senior Notes~~2018 Credit Facility

On April 18, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2018 Credit Facility"). The 2018 Credit Facility provided for (i) revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”) up to a maximum aggregate amount of $600 million, and (ii) a $500 million term loan (the “2018 Term Loan”). The Company repaid the outstanding amounts under the 2018 Term Loan in 2019, and used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to repay the amount outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility in March 2021.

2029 Senior Notes

On March 23, 2021, we consummated the issuance and sale of ~~$400~~$1,000 million aggregate principal amount of ~~its 8.000%~~our 5.250% Senior Notes due ~~2026~~2029 (the ~~“Existing Notes”)~~"2029 Notes" or "2029 Senior Notes) offered pursuant to a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The ~~Existing~~ Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of ~~April 18, 2018~~March 23, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as ~~trustee.~~

The Additional Notes were issued under the Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The proceeds from the Additional Notes were used to pay down the amount outstanding on the Company's 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The Additional Notes were issued at 101% of par value and the resulting $2 million premium will be amortized over the remaining term of the Additional Notes.

~~The Senior~~ Notes bear interest at the rate of ~~8.000%~~5.250% per annum and will mature on ~~May 1, 2026.~~April 15, 2029. Interest on the ~~Senior~~ Notes is payable in cash on ~~May 1st~~April 15th and ~~November 1st~~October 15th of each year. The first interest payment date on the ~~Additional~~2029 Senior Notes will be ~~November 1, 2020.~~October 15, 2021. The ~~Senior~~2029 Notes are general ~~senior~~ unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by ~~the subsidiaries through which the Company currently conducts substantially all of its operations.~~ our subsidiaries.

The ~~Senior~~ Notes rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The ~~Senior~~ Notes will be effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including the indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities described ~~above.~~

below. The Indenture contains several restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the following: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) payment of dividends or other restricted payments, (iii) ~~dividends and other payments affecting restricted subsidiaries,~~the purchase, redemption or retirement of capital stock or subordinated debt, (iv) ~~the issuance of preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries,~~asset sales, mergers or consolidations, (v) transactions with affiliates, (vi) ~~asset sales and mergers and consolidations,~~incurring liens, (vii) ~~future~~entering into sale-leaseback transactions, (viii) providing subsidiary guarantees and ~~(viii) liens,~~(ix) making certain investments, subject in each case to certain exceptions.

The proceeds from the sale of the 2029 Notes was used to repay debt outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility in connection with entering into the 2021 Credit Facility, as described above, and to redeem our 8.000% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”).

2026 Senior Notes

Our 2026 Senior Notes bore interest at 8.000% per annum and were scheduled to mature on May 1, 2026. On March 2, 2021, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 18, 2018 between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee ("Trustee"), the Trustee delivered redemption notices, on behalf of the Company, to holders of the Company’s 2026 Senior Notes to redeem the 2026 Senior Notes on April 1, 2021. The principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed was $600 million, which represented all of the outstanding principal of the 2026 Senior Notes. The 2026 Senior Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal, plus an applicable premium, and accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date. On March 23, 2021, the proceeds required for the redemption of the 2026 Senior Notes, the applicable premium and accrued interest totaling $647.7 million was irrevocably deposited with the Trustee and held by the Trustee until the date of redemption, April 1, 2021.

Earnings per share

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method which requires the Company to allocate to participating securities that have rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available only to Trust shareholders as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The Allocation Interests are considered participating securities that contain participating rights to receive profit allocations upon the occurrence of a Holding Event or Sale Event. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ reflects the incremental increase during the period in the profit allocation distribution to Holders related to Holding Events.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ attributable to the common shares of Holdings is calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Note ML — Income taxes

Each fiscal quarter, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its interim pre-tax earnings. In this regard, the Company reflects the full year’s estimated tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items and the effects of changes in tax laws or rates in the interim period in which they occur.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate in each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment, including the projected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in other jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained, as our tax structure changes or as the tax environment changes. Certain foreign operations are subject to foreign income taxation under existing provisions of the laws of those jurisdictions.

The reconciliation between the Federal Statutory Rate and the effective income tax rate for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ is as follows:


		Nine months ended September 30,					Three months ended March 31,

Note NM — Defined Benefit Plan

In connection with the acquisition of Arnold, the Company has a defined benefit plan covering substantially all of Arnold’s employees at its Lupfig, Switzerland location. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ highest average compensation during the specific period.

The unfunded liability of ~~$4.9~~$2.9 million is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of other non-current liabilities at ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Net periodic benefit cost consists of the following for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ (in thousands):


		Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,				Three months ended March 31,
		2020		2019		2020		2019				2021		2020

Net periodic benefit cost	Net periodic benefit cost	$	540	$	156	$	904	$	467		Net periodic benefit cost	$	162	$	182

During the third quarter of 2020, Arnold recognized a curtailment loss as a result of the termination of certain employees at the Switzerland location who were participants in the defined benefit plan. The termination of the employees resulted in a decrease in the accumulated benefit obligation liability and a curtailment loss of $0.4 million. The curtailment loss was recognized in other comprehensive income during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~

~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021, per the terms of the pension agreement, Arnold contributed ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million to the plan. For the remainder of ~~2020,~~2021, the expected contribution to the plan will be approximately ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million.

The plan assets are pooled with assets of other participating employers and are not separable; therefore, the fair values of the pension plan assets at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 were considered Level 3.

Note ON - Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters has yet to be determined, the Company does not believe that any unfavorable outcomes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Leases

The Company and its subsidiaries lease manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office facilities, retail stores, equipment and vehicles under various operating arrangements. Certain of the leases are subject to escalation clauses and renewal periods. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize lease expense, including predetermined fixed escalations, on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease including reasonably assured renewal periods from the time that the Company and its subsidiaries control the leased property. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our subsidiaries have leases that contain both fixed rent costs and variable rent costs based on achievement of certain operating metrics. The variable lease expense ~~has~~was not ~~been~~a material ~~on a historic basis~~component of our total lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and ~~no amount was incurred during the quarter ending September 30,~~ 2020. In the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company recognized ~~$7.9~~$9.4 million and ~~$22.8~~$7.3 million, respectively, in expense related to operating leases in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The maturities of lease liabilities at ~~September 30, 2020 were~~March 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):


2020 (excluding nine months ended September 30, 2020)		$	4,841

Present value of lease liabilities	Present value of lease liabilities	$	98,530	Present value of lease liabilities	$	121,779

The calculated amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the company's discretion. In general, it is not reasonably certain that lease renewals will be exercised at lease commencement and therefore lease renewals are not included in the lease term. Regarding the discount rate, ~~Topic 842~~lease accounting guidance requires the use of a rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate of the subsidiary entering into the lease arrangement, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term as adjusted for any country specific risk.

The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of our operating leases were as ~~follows as of September 30, 2020:~~follows:


~~Lease Term and Discount Rate~~
~~Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)~~	~~6.05~~
~~Weighted-average discount rate~~	~~7.65~~	%

~~Impact of~~2021 Outlook and COVID-19 ~~on Our Operations, Financial Condition, Liquidity and Results of Operations~~Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a ~~pandemic and, during the third quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact the Company.~~pandemic. COVID-19 continues to ~~spread throughout~~have a global impact despite the ~~United States and other countries across~~ramp up of vaccine programs over the ~~world, and the duration, severity and ultimate impact on our business are currently unknown.~~last quarter. The COVID-19 pandemic led to governments around the world implementing increasingly stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter-in-place” and “stay-at-home” orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments, particularly retail operations and non-essential businesses, school closures, and other measures. In addition, governments and central banks in several parts of the world enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to counteract the impacts of COVID-19. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time. The public health situation, global response measures and corresponding impacts on various markets remain fluid and uncertain. We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it is impacting our customers, employees, supply chains, and distribution networks. We experienced and expect to continue to experience reductions in customer demand in certain of our niche industrial end-markets. We expect that the government measures taken to address the spread of the virus, the reduced operational status of some of our suppliers, the reductions in production at certain facilities, and the decrease in foot traffic at many brick and mortar retail businesses may impact our operations for the remainder of 2020. The health of our team and various stakeholders is our highest priority, and we have taken multiple steps to provide support and a safe work environment.

~~Due to~~For 2021, the unprecedented uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2020 CGM agreed to waive 50% of the second quarter management fee calculated at June 30, 2020 that was paid in July 2020. We continue to work with management at each of our businesses to reduce our controllable costs, including short-term actions to reduce labor costs, eliminating non-essential travel and reducing discretionary spending. Additionally, our businesses are proactively managing working capital and we have reduced our capital spending plan for the year, without deferring many key strategic ongoing initiatives.

~~2020 Outlook in Consideration of the COVID-19 Pandemic~~

~~The~~ Company anticipates that COVID-19 will continue to have an impact on its results of operations, ~~for the remainder of 2020,~~ including a decrease in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA ~~as compared to the prior year~~ at certain of ~~our~~its niche industrial businesses. These niche industrial businesses will continue to experience operating constraints as their end markets are expected to be more significantly impacted by the pandemic. For example, the Company expects the Sterno Products division of Sterno to continue to be negatively impacted by the pandemic throughout 2021 due to that division's reliance on the food service industry. Additionally, disruption in the global supply chain due to transportation delays and U.S. port congestion are expected to continue during 2021 and continue to place constraints on several of our businesses. However, we expect the diversification of our ~~portfolio~~group of businesses, ~~has allowed us~~particularly the continued strong performance in our consumer branded businesses, to offset the expected decline in operating results from the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by ~~some of our operating segments. Driven by the strong performance at~~these niche industrial businesses. We expect that our outdoor consumer ~~brand products,~~branded businesses, particularly, 5.11, Liberty Safe and Velocity Outdoor, and our ~~acquisition of~~2020 acquisitions, Marucci Sports and BOA, will continue to build on trends experienced in ~~April 2020,~~the prior year, particularly the increase in consumer participation in outdoor activities.

The areas of focus for 2021, which are generally applicable to each of our ~~consolidated operating income,~~businesses, include:

•Achieving sales growth through a combination of new product development, increasing distribution, new customer acquisitions and international expansion;

•Taking market share, where possible, in each of our niche market leading companies, generally at the expense of less well capitalized competitors;

•Striving for excellence in supply chain management, manufacturing and technological capabilities;

•Continuing to pursue expense reduction and cost savings in lower margin business lines or in response to lower production volume;

•Continuing to grow through disciplined, strategic acquisitions and rigorous integration processes; and

•Driving free cash flow through increased net income ~~operating cash flows~~ and ~~Adjusted EBITDA increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.~~

During 2019, the Company received an aggregate total of $771.6 million in net cash proceeds as a result of the divestitures of Manitoba Harvest and Clean Earth, as well as $111.0 million from the issuance and sale of Series C Preferred Shares. In May 2020, the Company completed a share offering of five million Trust common shares resulting in net proceeds of $83.9 million and issued an additional $200 millioneffective working capital management, enabling continued investment in our ~~8% Senior Notes. The Company believes that it currently has adequate liquidity~~businesses, strategic acquisitions, and ~~capital resources to meet its existing obligations, and quarterly~~ distributions to ~~its shareholders, as, and if, approved by the Board of Directors, over the next twelve months.~~ our shareholders.However, if the Company’s operations are impacted more than expected during the fourth quarter of 2020 as a result of continued declining COVID-19-related economic conditions and the potential for an extended economic recession, the Company’s results of operations could be impacted more dramatically than currently anticipated and as a result, the Company’s liquidity and capital resources could be even more constrained than expected.

Results of Operations

The following discussion reflects a comparison of the historical results of operations of our consolidated business for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, ~~and September 30, 2019,~~ and components of the results of operations as well as those components presented as a percent of net revenues, for each of our businesses on a stand-alone basis.

We believe this is the most meaningful comparison for the operating results of acquired business segments. The consolidated results of operations reflect the operating results of Marucci and BOA from the date of acquisition.

In the first quarter of 2020, we began to see the impacts of COVID-19 on certain of our businesses, markets and operations, particularly those that were most affected by governmental “stay-at home” orders which led to reduced consumer traffic and either a closure of stores by some retailers or a focus on items that were deemed essential. The ~~steps taken by governments to limit the spread~~effects of the ~~virus had a negative impact~~pandemic on our results of operations in the ~~second quarter; April and May saw a slowdown~~prior year will impact the comparisons of the first quarter of 2021 versus the prior year.

Three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020

Net revenues

On a consolidated basis, net revenues for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 increased by approximately ~~$30.6~~$128.1 million, or ~~7.9%~~38.4%, compared to the corresponding period in ~~2019.~~2020. Our Marucci business, which we acquired in April 2020, contributed $36.6 million in net revenue during the first quarter of 2021, and our BOA business, which we acquired in October 2020, contributed $36.5 million in net revenue during the first quarter of 2021. During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~2019,~~2020, we also saw significant increases in net sales at Liberty ($6.5 million increase), Velocity Outdoor ($~~24.0~~35.2 million increase), and ~~Foam Fabricators~~Altor Solutions ($~~5.2~~9.4 million increase), while several of our other businesses saw a decrease in net sales resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, notably ~~Arnold ($8.3 million decrease), and~~ Sterno ($~~13.7~~5.7 million decrease). ~~Our Marucci business, which we acquired in April 2020, contributed $19.6 million~~The increase in net revenue at Altor Solutions during the ~~third~~first quarter ~~while the increase in Foam Fabricator's net revenue for the quarter~~of 2021 was ~~primarily~~partially attributable to their acquisition of Polyfoam in July 2020.

those companies. Cash flows coming to the Trust and the Company are the result of interest payments on those loans, amortization of those loans and dividends on our equity ownership. However, on a consolidated basis, these items will be eliminated.

Cost of revenues

On a consolidated basis, cost of revenues increased approximately ~~$13.3~~$60.8 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to the corresponding period in ~~2019.~~2020. Our Marucci and BOA businesses contributed $28.5 million of the increase, and we saw notable increases in cost of revenues at Liberty ($4.2 million increase), Velocity ($22.0 million increase) and Altor ($8.0 million increase) that correspond to the revenue increases noted above. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was approximately ~~36.7%~~40.5% in the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~35.2%~~35.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2019. We recognized $1.3 million in expense related to the amortization of the inventory step-up resulting from our purchase price allocation of Marucci Sports during the quarter. Excluding the effect of the Marucci adjustment, gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 37.0%.March 31, 2020. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 primarily related to the increase in net revenue at our branded consumer businesses, which have higher gross

margins than our niche industrial businesses. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of gross profit by business segment.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased approximately ~~$11.0~~$27.2 million during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, compared to the corresponding period in ~~2019. $7.6~~2020. A majority of the increase in the first quarter of 2021 is due to our Marucci and BOA acquisitions in the prior year. $9.5 million of the increase is attributable to our Marucci business, which was acquired in April 2020, and $11.4 million of the increase is attributable to BOA, which was acquired in October 2020. We also saw an increase in selling, general and administrative expense at several of our subsidiaries versus the prior year quarter as spending on variable expenses were reduced in the prior year in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the current ~~year.~~quarter spend reflecting more normal levels. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of selling, general and administrative expense by business segment. At the corporate level, general and administrative expense was ~~$3.0~~$4.0 million in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 and $3.3 million in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2019.~~2020.

Fees to manager

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement ("MSA"), we pay CGM a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% (2.0% annually) of our consolidated adjusted net assets. We accrue for the management fee on a quarterly basis. For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we incurred approximately ~~$9.7~~$11.0 million in management fees as compared to ~~$8.9~~$8.6 million in fees in the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. The increase in Management fees is primarily attributable to our acquisition of Marucci in April 2020 ~~partially offset by~~ and BOA in October 2020. CGM ~~waiving~~has entered into a waiver of the MSA for a period through December 31, 2021 to receive a 1% annual management fee related to BOA, rather than the 2% called for under the MSA, which resulted in a lower management fee paid in the first quarter of 2021 than would have normally been due. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2020, as a proactive measure to provide the Company with additional liquidity in light of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company drew $200 million down on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company and CGM entered a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee attributable to ~~the~~ cash balances ~~held~~ at March 31, 2020 which reduced the amount of Management fee that would have been paid in the first quarter of 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company asand CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of ~~September 30, 2020.~~the management fee related to the amount of the proceeds deposited with the Trustee that is in excess of the amount payable related to the 2026 Senior Notes at March 31, 2021.

Amortization expense

Amortization expense for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 increased ~~$1.7~~$5.1 million as compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 as a result of the amortization expense associated with the intangibles that were recognized in conjunction with the ~~preliminary~~ purchase price allocation for ~~Marucci.~~Marucci, which was acquired in April 2020, and BOA, which was acquired in October 2020.

~~Impairment expense~~

In the third quarter of 2019, we performed interim impairment testing at our Velocity business as a result of operating results below forecasts as well as a re-forecast of the Velocity business in which planned earnings and revenue fell below the forecasts of prior periods. We recognized $33.4 million in impairment expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 related to the Velocity interim impairment testing.

Interest expense

We recorded interest expense totaling ~~$12.4~~$13.8 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared to ~~$11.5~~$8.6 million for the comparable period in ~~2019,~~2020, an increase of ~~$0.8~~$5.2 million. The increase in interest expense for the quarter reflects ~~the repayment of our 2018 Term Loan during 2019 using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Clean Earth and proceeds from the issuance of preferred shares, offset by~~ an increase in interest expense ~~during~~beginning in the ~~current~~second quarter of 2020 related to our issuance of an additional $200 million in our 8.000% 2026 Senior Notes in May 2020, and higher average outstanding balances withdrawn on our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2020.

~~Net revenues~~

On a consolidated basis, net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by approximately $22.7 million, or 2.1%, compared to the corresponding period in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2019, we saw increases in net sales at 5.11 ($2.8 million increase), Liberty ($13.0 million increase), and Velocity ($40.8 million increase), while our other businesses saw a decrease in net sales resulting primarily from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, notably Ergobaby ($9.6 million decrease), (Arnold ($14.0 million decrease), Foam Fabricators ($4.3 million decrease) and Sterno ($31.0 million decrease). Our Marucci business, which we acquired in April 2020, had net revenues of $24.8 million since the date of acquisition. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of net revenues by business segment.

We do not generate any revenues apart from those generated by the businesses we own. We may generate interest income on the investment of available funds, but we expect such earnings to be minimal. Our investment in our businesses is typically in the form of loans from the Company to such businesses, as well as equity interests in those companies. Cash flows coming to the Trust and the Company are the result of interest payments on those loans, amortization of those loans and dividends on our equity ownership. However, on a consolidated basis, these items will be eliminated.

~~Cost of revenues~~

On a consolidated basis, cost of revenues increased approximately $10.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding period in 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was approximately 36.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 35.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We recognized $4.4 million in expense related to the amortization of the inventory step-up resulting from our purchase price allocation of Marucci Sports and Foam Fabricators' acquisition of Polyfoam during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the effect of the amortization of inventory step-up, gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 36.4%. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of gross profit by business segment.

~~Selling, general and administrative expense~~

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased approximately $17.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the corresponding period in 2019. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense primarily relates to our acquisition of Marucci Sports during the second quarter. We incurred $2.0 million in acquisition related expenses and Marucci incurred approximately $11.7 million in selling, general and administrative expense during the period from acquisition through September 30, 2020, which includes $0.5 million in integration service fees paid to CGM. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of selling, general and administrative expense by business segment. At the corporate level, general and administrative expense was $10.0 million in the first nine months of 2020 and $9.7 million in the first nine months of 2019.

~~Fees to manager~~

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement ("MSA"), we pay CGM a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% (2.0% annually) of our consolidated adjusted net assets. We accrue for the management fee on a quarterly basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred approximately $23.4 million in management fees as compared to $28.4 million in fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Concurrent with the September 2019 sale of Clean Earth, CGM agreed to waive the management fee on cash balances held at the Company, commencing with the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and continuing until the quarter during which the Company next borrowed under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2020, as a proactive measure to provide the Company with additional cash liquidity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to draw down $200 million on our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company and CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee attributable to the cash balances held at the Company as of March 31, 2020. Additionally, as a result of an expected decline in earnings and cash flows in the second quarter of 2020, CGM agreed to waive 50% of the management fee calculated at June 30, 2020 that was paid in July 2020. Further, for the third quarter of 2020, the Company and CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee attributable to the cash balances held at the Company as of September 30, 2020. The result of these waivers was a decrease in the management fee during the

~~nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in the prior year, despite the addition of the Marucci business in April 2020.~~

~~Amortization expense~~

Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $2.9 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as a result of the amortization expense associated with the intangibles that were recognized in conjunction with the preliminary purchase price allocation for Marucci.

~~Impairment expense~~

~~Interest expense~~

We recorded interest expense totaling $32.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $48.4 million for the comparable period in 2019, a decrease of $16.3 million. The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects the repayment of our 2018 Term Loan during 2019 using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Clean Earth and proceeds from the issuance of preferred shares, offset by an increase in interest expense related to our issuance of an additional $200 million of our 8.000% Senior Notes in May 2020.

~~Other income (expense)~~

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $2.2 million in other expense as compared to $6.3 million in other expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase in income of $4.1 million. In the prior year, we recognized $5.0 million of expense related to the write-off of debt issuance costs due to the repayment of our 2018 Term Loan. Other income (expense) in the current year primarily reflects the movement in foreign currency at our businesses with international operations.

~~Income taxes~~

We had an income tax provision of $8.5 million from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an income tax provision of $10.4 million from continuing operations during the same period in 2019. While our income from continuing operations before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by approximately $61.7 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our tax provision decreased $1.9 million as the tax provision reflects an annual effective tax rate at our subsidiaries, the effect of state and local taxes and the related allocation of income, and the losses at our parent company, which is taxed as a partnership. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 31.6% as compared to and effective tax rate of 29.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act includes many measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws, some of which were enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2017. Some of the key income tax related provisions of the CARES Act were allowing net operating losses ("NOLs") arising in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years, suspending the 80% taxable income limit until 2021, and increasing the taxable income threshold for the limit on the interest deduction from 30% to 50% for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020 and allowing taxpayers to use 2019 taxable income to calculate the 2020 limit. While several of our subsidiaries were able to take advantage of the income tax related provisions of the CARES ACT in the current year 2020, the CARES Act did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We continue to monitor any effects that may result from the CARES Act.

This increase is due primarily to e-commerce and retail sales growth of $9.3 million, up 37% from the prior year comparable period. Retail sales grew largely due to fourteen new retail store openings since March 2020 (bringing the total store count to seventy-six as of March 31, 2021) as well as positive growth in ~~e-commerce~~same-store sales ~~and new stores sales offset~~for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period last year which was negatively impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic on store traffic~~pandemic.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, international sales were approximately $13.1 million, representing a decrease of $3.7 million over the corresponding period in 2019, primarily as a result of reduced sales volume at Ergobaby's Asia-Pacific as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Domestic sales were $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2020, reflecting a decrease of $0.1 million compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased approximately $13.0 million, or 19.3%, to $80.6 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Non-Dealer sales were approximately $36.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $31.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in Non-Dealer sales of $5.6 million or 18.1% is attributable to a new customer in the Farm and Fleet channel as well as increased sales at sporting goods retailers during 2020, despite the shutdown of retail stores resulting from stay at home orders issued by local governments. Dealer sales totaled approximately $44.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $36.6 million in the same period in 2019, representing an increase of $7.4 million or 20.2%. The increase in Dealer sales reflects the higher demand for safes that we believe correlate to a large increase in firearm purchases over the prior year.

~~Gross profit~~

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales totaled approximately 26.1% and 21.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 is primarily attributable to favorable manufacturing variances as a result of increased production volume, and a decrease in material costs in the first nine months of 2020 as compared to the first nine months of 2019 when domestic steel prices were trending higher as a result of steel tariffs.

Marucci's “brick and mortar” retail partners were forced to close as a result of the pandemic thus Marucci did not receive fill-in orders during this period. As a result, sales of aluminum and wood bats were significantly less in the first and second quarter of 2020 when compared to the same period last year. Additionally, Major League Baseball postponed their season eliminating the need for wood bats to be purchased for the professional season. During June 2020, Marucci began to see demand pick up as the baseball and softball seasons began and in August 2020, the Company launched its CAT9 line of aluminum and composite bats.~~With the success of this launch, the demand pickup continued during the third quarter of 2020.~~

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had approximately ~~$176.8~~$63.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$76.5~~$7.6 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. In May 2020, we completed an offering of 5,000,000 Trust common shares for net proceeds, after deducting the underwriter's discount and offering costs, of approximately $83.9 million. Also in May 2020, we issued $200 million in additional Senior Notes. We used $200 million of the proceeds from the common share offering and issuance of additional Senior Notes to pay down the outstanding amount on our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we completed the acquisition of BOA for a total purchase price of $454 million (excluding working capital and certain other adjustments upon closing, and transaction costs). The Company funded the acquisition of BOA with cash on hand and a $300 million draw on its 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.2020. The majority of our cash is in non-interest bearing checking accounts or invested in short-term money market accounts and is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which identifies allowable investments and specifies credit quality standards. The change in cash and cash equivalents is as follows:

The increase~~March 31, 2020.

In the prior year, the Company incurred interest expense related to the 2018 Term Loan, which we paid off in the third and fourth quarter of 2019 using the proceeds from the sale of Clean Earth and our Series C Preferred Share Offering. The payoff of the 2018 Term Loan, partially offset by the increase in interest expense related to $200March 31, 2021 was $22.2 million, ~~in our 8% Senior Notes issued in May 2020, resulted in a decrease in our interest expense in the first nine months of 2020~~ as compared to the first nine months of 2019 by approximately $16.3 million.

We typically have a higher usage of cash for working capital in the first quarter of the year as most of our companies will build up inventories after the fourth quarter. In the current year, several of our businesses had higher inventory levels than normal given longer lead times due to supply chain issues. In the prior year, March of 2020 ~~was $10.4 million, as compared~~represented the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and our businesses implemented a variety of steps to conserve cash and increase liquidity given the uncertainty in the economy, resulting in a lower usage of cash for working capital.

Intercompany Debt

A component of our acquisition financing strategy that we utilize in acquiring the businesses we own and manage is to provide both equity capital and debt capital, raised at the parent level through our existing credit facility. Our strategy of providing intercompany debt financing within the capital structure of the businesses that we acquire and manage allows us the ability to distribute cash to the parent company through monthly interest payments and amortization of the principal on these intercompany loans. Each loan to our businesses has a scheduled maturity and each business is entitled to repay all or a portion of the principal amount of the outstanding loans, without penalty, prior to maturity. Certain of our businesses have paid down their respective intercompany debt balances through the cash flow generated by these businesses and we have recapitalized, and expect to continue to recapitalize, these businesses in the normal course of our business. The recapitalization process involves funding the intercompany debt using either cash on hand at the parent or our applicable Credit Facility, and serves the purpose of optimizing the capital structure at our subsidiaries and providing the noncontrolling shareholders with a distribution on their ownership interest in a cash flow positive business.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we amended the Arnold intercompany credit agreement to increase the revolving credit commitment available under the credit agreement, and to remove the requirement to meet the financial covenants through September 30, 2021. All of our subsidiaries were in compliance with the financial covenants included within their intercompany credit arrangements at ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had the following outstanding loans due from each of our businesses:

Our primary source of cash is from the receipt of interest and principal on the outstanding loans to our businesses. Accordingly, we are dependent upon the earnings of and cash flow from these businesses, which are available for (i) operating expenses; (ii) payment of principal and interest under our ~~2018~~2021 Credit Facility and interest on our Senior Notes; (iii) payments to CGM due pursuant to the MSA and the LLC Agreement; (iv) cash distributions to our shareholders; and (v) investments in future acquisitions. Payments made under (iii) above are required to be paid before distributions to shareholders and may be significant and exceed the funds held by us, which may require us to dispose of assets or incur debt to fund such expenditures.

On September 16, 2014, we purchased an interest rate swap (the "Swap") with a notional amount of $220 million effective April 1, 2016 through June 6, 2021. The agreement required us to pay interest on the notional amount at the rate of 2.97% in exchange for the three-month LIBOR rate. In connection with the repayment of the 2018 Term Loan in November 2019, the Company settled the Swap with a payment of $4.9 million, the fair value of the Swap as of the date of termination.

The following table provides the effective interest rate of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 (in thousands):

On March 23, 2021, we issued $1,000 million in 5.250% Senior Notes, and used a portion of the proceeds to repay our 8.000% Senior Notes. The 8.000% Senior Notes were redeemed on April 1, 2021, and we paid interest on these through the date of settlement.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP or U.S. GAAP refer to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. From time to time we may publicly disclose certain "non-GAAP" financial measures in the course of our investor presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls or other venues. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude amounts, included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements, and vice versa for measures that include amounts, or are subject to adjustments that effectively include amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure as calculated and presented.

Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment ("CAD").

Reconciliation of Net income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA – EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation expense and amortization expense. Amortization expenses consist of amortization of intangibles and debt charges, including debt issuance costs, discounts, etc.

Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA is calculated utilizing the same calculation as described above in arriving at EBITDA further adjusted by: (i) noncontrolling stockholder compensation, which generally consists of non-cash stock option expense; (ii) successful acquisition costs, which consist of transaction costs (legal, accounting, due diligence, etc.) incurred in connection with the successful acquisition of a business expensed during the period in compliance with ASC 805; (iii) management fees, which reflect fees due quarterly to our Manager in connection with our MSA, as well as Integration Services Fees paid by newly acquired companies; (iv) impairment charges, which reflect write downs to goodwill or other intangible assets; ~~(v) foreign currency transaction gains or losses incurred in connection with the conversion of intercompany debt from a foreign functional currency to U.S. dollar~~ and ~~(vi)~~(v) items of other income or expense that are material to a subsidiary and non-recurring in nature.

We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and reflect important financial measures as they exclude the effects of items which reflect the impact of long-term investment decisions, rather than the performance of near term operations. When compared to net income (loss) these financial measures are limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capital assets used in generating revenues of our businesses or the non-cash charges associated with impairments. This presentation also allows investors to view the performance of our businesses in a manner similar to the methods used by us and the management of our businesses, provides additional insight into our operating results and provides a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition.

We believe that these measurements are also useful in measuring our ability to service debt and other payment obligations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which we consider to be the most comparable GAAP financial measure (in thousands):

Reconciliation of Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment

The table below details cash receipts and payments that are not reflected on our income statement in order to provide an additional measure of management's estimate of cash flow available for distribution ("CAD"). CAD is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides additional, useful information to our shareholders in order to enable them to evaluate our ability to make anticipated quarterly distributions. CAD is not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following table reconciles CAD to net income (loss) and cash flows provided by operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Seasonality

Earnings of certain of our operating segments are seasonal in nature due to various recurring events, holidays and seasonal weather patterns, as well as the timing of our acquisitions during a given year. Historically, the third and fourth quarter produce the highest net sales during our fiscal year.

Management Services Agreement

We entered into the MSA with CGM effective May 16, 2006. The MSA provides for, among other things, CGM to perform services for the Company in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of the Company's adjusted net assets, as defined in the MSA. ~~Concurrent with the June 2019 sale of Clean Earth (refer to~~ ~~Note C - Discontinued Operations~~), CGM agreed to waive the management fee on cash balances held at the Company, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and continuing until the quarter during which the Company next borrowed under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2020, as a proactive measure to provide the Company with additional cash liquidity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to draw down $200 million on our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company and CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee attributable to the cash balances held at the Company as of March 31, 2020. In addition, as a result of an expected decline in earnings and cash flows in the second quarter of 2020, CGM agreed to waive 50% of the management fee calculated at June 30, 2020 that was paid in July 2020. Further, for the third quarter of 2020, the Company and CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee attributable to the cash balances held at the Company as of September 30, 2020.CGM has also entered into a waiver of the MSA for a period through December 31, 2021 to receive a 1% annual management fee related to BOA, rather than the 2% called for under the MSA. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company and CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee related to the amount of the proceeds deposited with the Trustee that is in excess of the amount payable related to the 2026 Senior Notes at March 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different conditions. These critical accounting policies and estimates are reviewed periodically by our independent auditors and the audit committee of our board of directors.

Except as set forth below, our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual

Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, as filed with the ~~Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")~~SEC on February ~~26, 2020.~~24, 2021.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess amount of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired. Our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31st, and if current events or circumstances require, on an interim basis. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are generally an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. Each of our businesses represents a reporting unit.

We use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the ~~two-step~~ goodwill impairment testing. The qualitative factors we consider include, in part, the general macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions for each reporting unit, financial performance including actual versus planned results and results of relevant prior periods, operating costs and cost impacts, as well as issues or events specific to the reporting unit. If qualitative factors are not sufficient to determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to exceed its carrying value, we will perform a quantitative test of the reporting unit whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach or market approach, or a weighting of the two methods. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of our reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The discount rate used is based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the business and the uncertainty associated with the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable public companies with operating characteristics that are similar to the reporting unit. When market comparables are not meaningful or available, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using only the income approach.

~~2020~~2021 Annual Impairment Testing - For our annual impairment testing at March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units. The qualitative factors we consider include, in part, the general macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions for each reporting unit, financial performance including actual versus planned results and results of relevant prior periods, operating costs and cost impacts, as well as issues or events specific to the reporting unit. As ~~part~~a result of ~~our~~the current ~~year analysis,~~COVID-19 pandemic, we have considered how we expect ~~the~~ COVID-19 ~~pandemic~~ to impact our future operating results and short and ~~long-term~~long term financial ~~condition. In addition to the typical qualitative factors we consider~~condition as part of our qualitative assessment, including the ~~assessment, we went through a process with each of~~effects on our reporting units whereby we considered various scenarios for the remainder of the year, probability weighted for what we consider the most likely outcome given existing facts and circumstances. This process included consideration of the reporting unit's industry andend customers, ~~including customer liquidity, operational capacity given local government restrictions imposed to prevent spread of the COVID-19 virus,~~potential short-term supply chain constraints, ~~that may exist as a result of~~and the ~~virus~~continued restrictions imposed by government and ~~ability of the subsidiary to reduce cash outflows.~~regulatory authorities. The results of the qualitative

analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our ~~5.11, ACI, Arnold, Liberty and Sterno~~ reporting units except Arnold exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that ~~our Ergobaby, Foam Fabricators and Velocity~~the Arnold operating ~~segments~~segment required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of ~~these~~this reporting ~~units~~unit significantly exceeded the carrying value based on qualitative factors alone.

We performed the quantitative tests of ~~Ergobaby, Foam Fabricators and Velocity~~Arnold using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. We ~~were unable to use a~~do not believe that the market approach ~~due to the current~~results in relevant data points for market ~~conditions as a result~~multiples or data from comparable companies since most of ~~the COVID-19 pandemic resulting~~Arnold's competitors are privately held and do not publish data that can be used in ~~significant volatility and lack of available market comparables.~~an income approach. In developing the prospective financial information used in the income approach, we considered recent market conditions, taking into consideration the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout. The prospective financial information considers reporting unit specific facts and circumstances and is our best estimate of operational results and cash flows for ~~each~~the Arnold reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing. ~~For Ergobaby, the~~The discount rate used in the income approach was ~~15.9%~~13.0%, and ~~the~~the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the ~~Ergobaby~~Arnold reporting unit exceeded the carrying value ~~by 14.0%~~by approximately 272%. For Foam Fabricators, the discount rate used in the income approach was 13.3%, and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Foam Fabricators reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 3.8%. The impairment test for Velocity used a discount rate of 12.8% in the income approach, and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Velocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 16.4%. TheThe prospective financial information that is used to determine the fair values of the Arnold reporting ~~units~~unit requires us to make assumptions regarding future operational results including revenue

growth rates and gross margins. If we do not achieve the forecasted revenue growth rates and gross margins, the results of the quantitative testing could change, potentially leading to additional testing and impairment at the reporting ~~units~~unit that ~~were~~was tested quantitatively.

~~2019 Interim Impairment Testing -~~ As a result of operating results below forecasts as well as a re-forecast of the Velocity business in which planned earnings and revenue fell below the forecasts of prior periods, we determined that a triggering event had occurred at Velocity Outdoor in the third quarter of 2019. We performed goodwill impairment testing at Velocity as of September 30, 2019. For the quantitative impairment test at Velocity, we utilized an income approach. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins, and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. We used a weighted average cost of capital of 12.2% in the income approach. The discount rate used was based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business specific characteristics and Velocity's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of Velocity did not exceed the carrying value, indicating that the goodwill at Velocity is impaired. The difference between the carrying value and fair value of the Velocity business was $32.9 million, which the Company recorded as impairment expense during the year ended December 31, 2019.

~~2019 Annual Impairment Testing~~ - For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2019, we determined that our Liberty operating segment required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of Liberty significantly exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. We concluded the goodwill impairment testing during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The results of the quantitative impairment testing of the Liberty reporting unit indicated that the fair value of the Liberty reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 135%. All of our other reporting units were tested qualitatively as of March 31, 2019, and the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.

For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively for the 2019 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets

We use a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names with a carrying value of approximately $60.0 million. The results of the qualitative analysis of our reporting unit's indefinite-lived intangible assets, which we completed as of March 31, ~~2020 and 2019,~~2021, indicated that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value. The Ergobaby and Liberty reporting units have indefinite lived trade names that were tested in conjunction with the goodwill impairment tests at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the trade names were not impaired.

~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606. The revenue standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, and excludes any sales incentives or taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. The Company’s contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products to a customer. Determining whether the promises are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Once the performance obligations are identified, the Company determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on a relative stand-alone selling price method. The corresponding revenues are recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied as discussed above. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately and therefore observable.

The Company’s policy around estimating variable consideration related to sales incentives (early pay discounts, rights of return, rebates, chargebacks, and other discounts) included in certain customer contracts remains consistent with previous guidance. These incentives are recorded as a reduction in the transaction price. Under the revenue standard guidance, variable consideration is estimated and included in total consideration at contract inception based on either the expected value method or the most likely outcome method. The method was applied consistently among each type of variable consideration and the Company applies the expected value method to estimate variable consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and the Company’s best judgment at the time and as a result, reflect applicable constraints. The Company includes in the transaction price an amount of variable consideration estimated in accordance with the new guidance only to the extent that it is probable~~that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenuerecognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.~~

~~Business Combinations~~

The acquisitions of our businesses are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accounting for business combinations requires the use of estimates and assumptions in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to allocate the purchase price. The estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable using established valuation methods, taking into consideration information supplied by the management of the acquired entities and other relevant information. The determination of fair values requires significant judgment both by our management team and, when appropriate, valuations by independent third-party appraisers. We amortize intangible assets, such as trademarks and customer relationships, as well as property, plant and equipment, over their economic useful lives, unless those lives are indefinite. We consider factors such as historical information, our plans for the asset and similar assets held by our previously acquired portfolio companies. The impact could result in either higher or lower amortization and/or depreciation expense.
