NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

RockyMounts

On December 5, 2024, Clarus and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rhino-Rack USA LLC, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “RockyMounts Purchase Agreement”) with RockyMounts, Inc. (the “Seller” or “RockyMounts”) and Robert C. Noyes, pursuant to which the Company (i) acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Seller constituting the RockyMounts business, including equipment, inventory, intellectual property (including exclusive use of the brand name ROCKYMOUNTS and the tradename ROCKY MOUNTS INC.), software, domain names and social media accounts, and (ii) assumed certain liabilities related to the RockyMounts assets, including all liabilities and obligations of the Seller under the Assigned Contracts (as defined in the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement), arising or to be performed after the closing of the acquisition pursuant to the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, the purchase price paid for the RockyMounts assets was up to $8,000, which includes (i) $4,000 paid in cash at closing, subject to adjustment as set forth in the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, (ii) the issuance of a promissory note by Rhino-Rack USA LLC in favor of the Seller in the original principal amount of $2,000, payable on the one-year anniversary of the closing of the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the payment of additional contingent consideration of up to $2,000 in cash if certain future net sales thresholds are met for the years ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026, respectively (the “RockyMounts Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the RockyMounts Contingent Consideration to be $609 and recorded this liability within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities at the date of purchase. The net sales threshold required for the cash payment of the 2025 portion of the RockyMounts Contingent Consideration was not met during the measurement period ended December 31, 2025. See Note 11 for discussion regarding the valuation of the RockyMounts Contingent Consideration as of December 31, 2025.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Acquisition-related costs for the RockyMounts Acquisition, which were included in transaction costs during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $40 and $333, respectively.

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”).

The Company acquired TRED for an aggregate purchase price of $AUD 10,741 (approximately $6,849), subject to a post-closing adjustment, comprised of $AUD 8,875 (approximately $5,659) cash, 179 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1,069, and additional consideration described below. The TRED Purchase Agreement provided for the payment of additional contingent consideration of up to $AUD 1,000 (approximately $638) in cash upon the satisfaction of certain net sales targets (the “TRED Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the TRED Contingent Consideration to be $AUD 189 (approximately $121) and recorded this liability within other long-term liabilities at the date of purchase. The net sales threshold required for the cash payment of the TRED Contingent Consideration was not met during the final measurement period ended June 30, 2025. See Note 11 for discussion regarding the valuation of the TRED Contingent Consideration as of December 31, 2025.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Acquisition-related costs for the TRED Acquisition, which were included in transaction costs during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were $62 and $456, respectively. There were no transaction costs related to the TRED Acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company believes the acquisitions of RockyMounts and 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 measurements for the acquisition

of RockyMounts and TRED have been completed. The excess of purchase consideration over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill for RockyMounts and TRED is included in the Adventure segment. At the time of acquisition, the goodwill consisted largely of the growth and profitability expected from these acquisitions.

​

​

The estimated fair value of inventory was recorded at expected sales price less cost to sell plus a reasonable profit margin for selling efforts.

​

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company acquired exclusive rights to RockyMounts’ and TRED’s trademarks, customer relationships, product technologies, and tradenames. The amounts assigned to each class of intangible asset, other than goodwill acquired, and the related average useful lives are as follows:

​

​

The full amount of goodwill of $2,741 at RockyMounts is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The full amount of goodwill of $2,832 at TRED is expected to be non-deductible for tax purposes. No pre-existing relationships existed between the Company, RockyMounts, and TRED or their sellers prior to the acquisition. RockyMounts and TRED revenue and operating income are included in the Adventure segment. Total revenue and net income of RockyMounts from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2024, were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Total revenue and net income of TRED from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2023, were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
