Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On July 31, 2025, Clarus Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference is a presentation regarding the Company’s financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the “Presentation”).

 

The Press Release and/or the Presentation contains the non-GAAP measures: (i) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) per diluted share, (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures). The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: (i) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) 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 the Press Release and the Presentation. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin for the fiscal year 2025 to net income for the fiscal year 2025, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin. 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.

 

The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Clarus Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

 

Continued Focus on Simplifying the Business and Accelerating Long-Term Profitable Growth

 

Completes Sale of PIEPS Snow Safety Brand for $9.1 Million

 

SALT LAKE CITY, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarus Corporation (NASDAQ: CLAR) (“Clarus” and/or the “Company”), a global company focused on the outdoor enthusiast markets, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

 

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Summary vs. Same Year-Ago Quarter

 

·Sales of $55.2 million compared to $56.5 million.
·Gross margin was 35.6% compared to 36.1%; adjusted gross margin of 36.5% compared to 37.4%.
·Net loss of $8.4 million, or $(0.22) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $5.5 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share.
·Adjusted net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share.
·Adjusted EBITDA of $(2.1) million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of (3.8)% compared to $(1.9) million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of (3.4)%.

 

Management Commentary

 

“Despite continued headwinds across the global outdoor market, we remain focused on operational execution and disciplined investment aligned with our strategic roadmap,” said Warren Kanders, Clarus’ Executive Chairman. “Following multiple quarters of progress strengthening the core, we have positioned Black Diamond for a return to growth, highlighted by a simplified product portfolio, sharper and more differentiated marketing message, key personnel hires, and a rationalized inventory position. At Adventure, where results continue to be affected by market softness and over-reliance on legacy customers, we are committed to prioritizing the highest-return initiatives, particularly those that improve our speed to market and enable us to fit more vehicles and, in turn, sell more roof racks and accessories.”

 

Mr. Kanders continued, “Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we were pleased to complete the divestiture of our PIEPS snow safety brand, reflective of our focus on simplifying the Black Diamond business and rationalizing our product categories. This was a highly successful outcome following a competitive process that recognized the value of the brand and its intellectual property. We continue to evaluate all possible opportunities to unlock value at each of Outdoor and Adventure, including further simplification of the businesses and further cost reductions, incremental to those which have already been taken during July. Additionally, we believe that the sum of the parts of our two segments exceeds today's market valuation, and we are committed to maximizing long-term value for our shareholders. While we anticipate a challenging consumer demand outlook through the remainder of the year and additional uncertainty from tariffs, we believe Clarus will benefit from the structural actions and improvements we’ve made across both our Outdoor and Adventure segments as demand normalizes.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

 

Sales in the second quarter were $55.2 million compared to $56.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. Sales in the Outdoor segment increased 1% to $36.7 million, compared to $36.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales in the Adventure segment decreased 8% to $18.6 million, compared to $20.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

 

The increase in Outdoor sales was due to a shift in timing for IGD revenues into the second quarter, partially offset by decreases in our direct-to-consumer channels in both North America and Europe.

 

Lower sales in the Adventure segment reflect significantly reduced demand from global OEM customers and a challenging wholesale market in Australia for Rhino-Rack, partially offset by increased revenue from the acquisition of RockyMounts and higher promotional sales in North America.

 

Gross margin in the second quarter was 35.6% compared to 36.1% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower volumes and unfavorable product mix at the Adventure segment. Specifically, the unfavorable product mix at Adventure was due to promotional sales efforts in North America. This combined with lower wholesale volume at Rhino-Rack in Australia drove the decline in gross margin in the current quarter. These decreases were partially offset by higher volumes and a favorable product mix at the Outdoor segment.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter were $26.9 million compared to $28.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee-related expenses and marketing costs across the Company, as well as other expense reduction initiatives across both segments and at Corporate to manage costs.

 

Net loss in the second quarter of 2025 was $8.4 million, or $(0.22) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $5.5 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.

 

Adjusted net loss in the second quarter of 2025 was $1.1 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted net loss excludes legal cost and regulatory matters expenses, inventory reserves, contingent consideration benefits, restructuring charges and transaction costs, as well as non-cash items for intangible amortization, impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, and stock-based compensation.

 

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the second quarter was $(2.1) million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of (3.8)%, compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $(1.9) million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of (3.4)%, in the same year-ago quarter.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $(9.4) million compared to net cash generated of $0.8 million in the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2025 were $1.9 million compared to $1.6 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2025 was an outflow of $11.3 million.

 

Liquidity at June 30, 2025 vs. December 31, 2024

 

·Cash and cash equivalents totaled $28.5 million compared to $45.4 million.
·Total debt of $1.9 million (related to the RockyMounts acquisition) compared to $1.9 million.

 

Completed Sale of PIEPS

 

On July 11, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its PIEPS snow safety brand, including its portfolio of avalanche safety products such as avalanche transceivers and JetForce avalanche airbag systems, to a private investment firm for a total sales price of €7.8 million, or approximately $9.1 million, including cash and debt.

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) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) per diluted share, (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures). The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: (i) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) 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. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin for the fiscal year 2025 to net income for the fiscal year 2025, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin. 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.

Q2 EARNINGS PRESENTATION JULY 31, 2025

 

 

6 February 2023 PAGE 2 Forward - Looking Statements Please note that in this presentation we may use words such as “appears,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “int end s,” “future,” and similar expressions which constitute forward - looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward - looking statem ents are made based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution that forward - looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward - looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward - looking statements in this presentation, include, but are not limited to, those risks and uncert ainties more fully described from time to time in the Company's public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 - K, and/or Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q, as well as in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8 - K. All forward - looking statements included in this presentation are based upon information available t o the Company as of the date of this presentation and speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any forward - looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of t his presentation. Non - GAAP Financial Measures The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This pre sen tation contains the non - GAAP measures: ( i ) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) per diluted share, (iii) ear nin gs before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures). The Company believes that the presentation of certain non - GAAP measures, i.e.: ( i ) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earning s ( loss) per diluted share, (iii) EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow, provide useful information for the unders tan ding 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 perfor man ce 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 me asures within this presentation. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non - GAAP guidance measures adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin for the fiscal year 2025 to net income for the fiscal y ear 2025, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not a dju sted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin. 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, th e 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. Market and Industry Data The market and industry data used throughout this presentation was obtained from various sources, including the Company’s own re search and estimates, surveys or studies conducted by third parties and industry or general publications and forecasts. Industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that they have o bta ined information from sources believed to be reliable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy and completeness of such information. While the Company believes that each of these surveys, studies, publ ica tions and forecasts is reliable, it has not independently verified such data and the Company is not making any representation as to the accuracy of such information. Similarly, the Company believes its internal re search and estimates are reliable but it has not been verified by any independent sources. In addition, while the Company believes that the industry and market information included herein is generally reliab le, such information is inherently imprecise. While the Company is not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry and market data presented herein, its estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are sub ject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Forward - Looking Statements” above.
