CLARUS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clarus Corporation and subsidiaries (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “Clarus,” “we,” “us” or “our”) as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2024. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2024.
Nature of Business
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, we are a global leading designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of best-in-class outdoor equipment and lifestyle products focused on the outdoor enthusiast markets. Each of our brands has a long history of continuous product innovation for core and everyday users alike. The Company’s products are principally sold globally under the Black Diamond®, Rhino-Rack®, MAXTRAX®, and TRED Outdoors® brand names through outdoor specialty and online retailers, our own websites, distributors and original equipment manufacturers.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates relate to the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations, provision for excess or obsolete inventory, allowance for credit losses, and valuation of contingent consideration liabilities, deferred tax assets, long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, projected future cash flows, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, legal costs associated with specific legal matters which were recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses are now presented in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Note 16 for discussion regarding legal matters.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
TRED
On September 13, 2023, Clarus entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “TRED Purchase Agreement”) to acquire TRED Outdoors Pty Ltd. (“TRED”), which subsequently closed on October 9, 2023. All United States dollar amounts contained herein are based on the exchange rates in effect for Australian dollars ($AUD) and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of closing of the acquisition of TRED (the “TRED Acquisition”).

(in thousands, except per share amounts)
The Company acquired TRED for an aggregate purchase price of $AUD
The Company believes the acquisition of TRED will provide the Company with a greater combined global revenue base, increased gross margins, profitability and free cash flows, and access to increased liquidity to further acquire and grow businesses.
The following table is a reconciliation to the fair value of the purchase consideration and how the purchase consideration is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed which have been estimated at their fair values. The fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation for TRED are based on the Company’s best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary. The fair value measurements of identifiable assets and liabilities, and the resulting goodwill related to the TRED Acquisition are subject to change and the final purchase price allocations could be different from the amounts presented below. We expect to finalize the valuations as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the date of the acquisition. The excess of purchase consideration over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill for TRED is included in the Adventure segment. The goodwill consists largely of the growth and profitability expected from the acquisition.
