Clarus Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results and Raises Full-Year Outlook

- Sales up 16% to $45.8 Million With Gross Margin up 210 Basis Points to 33.4% -

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – November 6, 2017 – Clarus Corporation (NASDAQ: CLAR) (“Clarus” and/or the “Company”), a diversified holding company which seeks opportunities to acquire and grow businesses that can generate attractive shareholder returns, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Summary vs. Same Year-Ago Quarter

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Sales in the third quarter of 2017 increased 16% to $45.8 million compared to $39.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was partially attributed to $3.5 million in sales generated by Sierra Bullets, L.L.C. (“Sierra”), which the Company acquired on August 21, 2017, and continued strong growth in the climb and ski categories. On a constant currency basis, total sales were up 14%. Excluding the Sierra acquisition, sales increased 7%.

Gross margin increased 210 basis points to 33.4% compared to 31.3% in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to a favorable mix of higher margin products and channel distribution. Excluding a fair value inventory step-up associated with the Sierra acquisition, adjusted gross margin in the third quarter was 34.3%. Excluding the acquisition of Sierra, gross margin was 33.7%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter increased to $14.4 million compared to $11.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was attributed to $0.6 million in expenses due to the inclusion of Sierra, and strategic initiatives seeking to increase Black Diamond Equipment’s brand equity and drive new product introductions.

Net loss in the third quarter was $1.6 million or $(0.05) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million or $(0.01) per diluted share. Net loss in the third quarter of 2017 included $2.7 million of non-cash items, $1.9 million in transaction costs and minimal restructuring charges, compared to $1.9 million of non-cash items and $0.3 million in restructuring costs in the third quarter of 2016.

Adjusted net income, which excludes the non-cash items, as well as restructuring and transaction costs, increased 72% to $2.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $1.7 million or $0.06 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 79% to $3.0 million compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2016.

Due to the acquisition of Sierra and repayment of the Company’s subordinated notes, at September 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents declined to $1.7 million compared to $94.7 million at December 31, 2016.

To help finance the acquisition of Sierra, Clarus drew down its line of credit by $27.4 million, which comprises the Company’s total debt at September 30, 2017. This compares to $21.9 million in total debt at the end of 2016.

Management Commentary

“We believe the third quarter was an important confirmation that our strategy is right on track,” said John Walbrecht, president of Clarus’ Outdoor Group. “Our focus on the core Black Diamond Equipment customer generated sales growth across all of our primary product categories, including a 17% increase in climb, driven by strong growth in the more approachable bouldering and gym segments. As anticipated, improvements in product and channel mix, the stabilization of our sourcing strategy, and lower levels of discontinued merchandise drove strong gross margin expansion.”

“We expect our brand momentum to continue into our spring 2018 selling season,” continued Walbrecht. “With the winter gym season approaching, we will continue our focus on our award-winning rock shoes and our climbing sportswear—a category where we continue to see stronger-than-expected demand. In addition, we will introduce an expanded Stretch Rainwear collection, a new belay device called the ATC Pilot, new patented trekking poles, updated harnesses, and expanded packs, sportswear and logo wear. Looking to 2018 and beyond, we have more than 30 new product initiatives in development across the more than 30 product categories Black Diamond currently offers.

“Finally, we kicked off our redeployment and diversification strategy with the acquisition of Sierra. As the only pure-play bullet brand in the world, Sierra shares our commitment to the core consumer by delivering a product backed by world-class manufacturing and quality control. These attributes have driven the financial characteristics we are seeking in our acquisition strategy—high recurring revenue and strong, durable cash flow.”

Increased 2017 Outlook

Clarus is raising its sales outlook and now anticipates fiscal year 2017 sales to grow 11%-13% to approximately $165-$168 million ($153-$158 million in prior outlook) compared to $148.2 million in 2016. This reflects an estimated $9 million sales contribution from the inclusion of Sierra. On a constant currency basis, the Company expects sales to range between $164-$167 million, or up 11%-13% compared to 2016.

The Company now expects gross margin in fiscal 2017 to increase approximately 200 basis points to around 31.5% (low end of 32.5%-33.5% in prior outlook) compared to 29.5% in 2016. On an adjusted basis, which excludes the fair value inventory step-up associated with the Sierra acquisition, gross margin is expected to increase approximately 300 basis points to around 32.5%.

Clarus now expects selling, general and administrative costs, including approximately $5.0 million of cash corporate overhead expenditures, to be approximately $54.5 million ($50.5 million in prior outlook) compared to $49.9 million in 2016. The Company continues to expect approximately $2.5 million in capital expenditures in 2017.

Net Operating Loss (NOL)

The Company estimates that it has available NOL carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $172 million. 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, (ii) net income (loss) before non-cash items and related income (loss) per diluted share, and adjusted net income (loss) before non-cash items and related income (loss) per diluted share, and (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: (i) adjusted gross margin, (ii) net income (loss) before non-cash items and related income (loss) per diluted share, and adjusted net income (loss) before non-cash items and related income (loss) per diluted share, and (iii) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, 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 in the financial tables 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.
