Cumulative Total Shareholder Return is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

Represents the peer group Total Shareholder Return of the companies included in the NASDAQ Global Select Market Composite and the Russell 2000 Index.

Represents the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year. On February 29, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the Company’s Precision Sport segment. The activities of the Precision Sport segment have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and as a result are excluded from net income for the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. We define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of certain noncash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include, among other things, transaction costs, contingent consideration, inventory fair value of purchase accounting, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and other one-time items. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see our press release announcing the Company’s results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026. We selected Adjusted EBITDA as the Company-selected measure due to it being an important financial performance measure that helps link compensation actually paid to the Company’s
NEOs to the Company’s performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. In particular, Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors as part of their evaluation and consideration to award annual performance-based compensation to our NEOs. On February 29, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the Company’s Precision Sport segment. The activities of the Precision Sport segment have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024, and as a result are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA for the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, respectively.
