SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – May 9, 2022 – Clarus Corporation (NASDAQ: CLAR) (“Clarus” and/or the “Company”), a global company focused on the outdoor and consumer enthusiast markets, reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Summary vs. Same Year-Ago Quarter

Management Commentary

“The momentum from our record-setting year in 2021 certainly continued into the first quarter of 2022,” said Clarus President John Walbrecht. “Our Precision Sport segment continues to execute at a high level, growing sales by 41%, and in our Adventure segment, we are pleased to report early success in our ‘Innovate and Accelerate’ strategy. Rhino-Rack’s net sales in North America during the first quarter increased 42%, an early proof point of the substantial white space that we believe exists for our Adventure brands in this market. While we continue to experience a strong order book for Black Diamond, supply chain and logistic challenges impacted our ability to convert all Outdoor segment demand into revenue.

“Looking to the remainder of the year, we believe our portfolio of ‘Super Fan’ brands has us well-positioned to continue our market momentum. Our brands have demonstrated strong resistance to recent economic headwinds, highlighting the durability of our entire portfolio of activity-based brands. We estimate some of the logistics challenges we experienced in the first quarter will subside in the back half of the year. This combination is expected to position us for another record-setting year in 2022.”

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Sales in the first quarter increased 50% to $113.3 million compared to $75.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase includes revenue contribution of approximately $24.5 million from Rhino-Rack, an acquisition completed on July 1, 2021, and $4.2 million from MAXTRAX, an acquisition completed on December 1, 2021. First quarter sales increased 6% on a proforma basis compared to the year-ago quarter.

Sales in the Outdoor segment were $51.5 million compared to $51.8 million in the same year-ago quarter, while Precision Sport sales increased 41% to $33.1 million. Sales in the Adventure segment were $28.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. Despite strong customer demand, Outdoor segment sales were impacted by logistics challenges that affected the Company’s ability to deliver products on-time and in full. Sales in the Precision Sport and Adventure segments reflect continued strong customer demand and outperformance in navigating the challenging supply chain environment.

Gross margin in the first quarter improved 320 basis points to 39.1% compared to 35.9% in the year-ago quarter due to improvements in channel and product mix, as well as operational efficiencies achieved due to the Company’s larger scale. Excluding a $0.3 million fair value inventory step-up associated with the MAXTRAX acquisition, adjusted gross margin in the first quarter increased 290 basis points to 39.3%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter were $34.2 million compared to $20.9 million in the same year-ago quarter due primarily to the inclusion of Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX, which contributed $9.4 million in expenses. Non-cash stock-based compensation for performance awards was $3.4 million, a $1.8 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2021. The remainder of the increase was driven by investments in the Company’s go-to-market and fulfilment activities in support of its increased sales.

Net income in the first quarter was $5.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted net income in the first quarter, which excludes non-cash items and transaction costs, increased 44% to $14.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net income of $10.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the same year-ago quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter increased 85% to a record $19.7 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.4%, compared to $10.6 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.1%, in the same year-ago quarter.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $(10.8) million compared to $(2.5) million in the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2022 were $1.9 million compared to $1.3 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, for the first quarter of 2022 was $(12.7) million compared to $(3.9) million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease is primarily due to investments in inventory to mitigate supply chain constraints.

Liquidity at March 31, 2022 vs. December 31, 2021

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On April 18, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with its banking partners, the agreement provides for borrowings of up to $300 million under a secured revolving credit facility and borrowings of $125 million under a secured term loan facility. At closing the $125 million was fully drawn and $29 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The amended and restated credit agreement has customary commitment fees and covenants and matures on April 18, 2027.

2022 Outlook

Clarus anticipates fiscal year 2022 sales to grow approximately 25% to $470.0 million compared to 2021. By segment, the Company expects sales for Outdoor to increase high-single digits to approximately $237.5 million, the Precision Sport segment to increase low-single digits to approximately $112.5 million, and the Adventure segment to contribute approximately $120 million.

The Company expects adjusted EBITDA in 2022 to be approximately $78.0 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.5%. In addition, capital expenditures are still expected to be approximately $9.0 million and free cash flow is still expected to range between $50.0 to $60.0 million.

Net Operating Loss (NOL)

The Company estimates that it has available NOL carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $60.7 million, which includes $39.5 million of NOL carryforwards that expire on December 31, 2022. The Company expects to fully utilize the $39.5 million in the current year, prior to expiration. The Company’s common stock is subject to a rights agreement dated February 7, 2008, that is intended to limit the number of 5% or more owners and therefore reduce the risk of a possible change of ownership under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any such change of ownership under these rules would limit or eliminate the ability of the Company to use its existing NOLs for federal income tax purposes. However, there is no guaranty that the rights agreement will achieve the objective of preserving the value of the NOLs.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This press release contains the non-GAAP measures: (i) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) net income before non-cash items and related income per diluted share, and adjusted net income before non-cash items and related income per diluted share, (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBTIDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow. The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: (i) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) net income before non-cash items and related income per diluted share, and adjusted net income before non-cash items and related income per diluted share, (iii) EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow, provide useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period- over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the user's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, along with the nearest GAAP measures, a baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within this press release. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company's reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies.
