Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
1. Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Fox Factory Holding Corp. (the “Company”) designs, engineers, manufactures, and markets performance-defining products and systems for customers worldwide. Our premium brand, performance-defining products and systems are used primarily on bicycles (“bikes”), side-by-side vehicles (“side-by-sides”), on-road vehicles with and without off-road capabilities, off-road vehicles and trucks, all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), snowmobiles, and specialty vehicles and applications. In addition, we also offer premium baseball and softball gear and equipment. Some of our products are specifically designed and marketed to some of the leading cycling and powered vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), while others are distributed to consumers through a global network of dealers and distributors and through direct-to-customer channels.
Throughout this Form 10-Q, unless stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “FOX,” “Fox Factory,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “ours” refer to Fox Factory Holding Corp. and its operating subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.” or “United States”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Fiscal Year Calendar - The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year calendar. For 2024 and 2023, the Company’s fiscal year will end or has ended on January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The 12-month periods ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, will include or have included 53 and 52 weeks, respectively. The three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 each included 13 weeks.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are generated from the sale of performance-defining products and systems to customers worldwide. The Company’s performance-defining products and systems are solutions that improve performance of powered vehicles, bikes, and baseball and softball gear and equipment. Powered vehicles include side-by-sides, on-road vehicles with off-road capabilities, off-road vehicles and trucks, ATVs, snowmobiles, specialty vehicles and applications, and motorcycles.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer, generally at the time of shipment. Contracts are generally in the form of purchase orders and are governed by standard terms and conditions. For larger OEMs, the Company may also enter into master agreements. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenues. Revenues generated from upfit packages generally do not include the vehicle chassis, as the Company is not the principal in this arrangement and the automotive dealer purchases the chassis directly from the OEM. The Company is required to place a deposit on all Stellantis chassis, however that deposit is refunded when the chassis is sold through to the end customer. For other chassis, the Company entered into floorplan financing agreements, in which the Company pays interest expense based on the duration of time the chassis stay on the Company's premises. Revenues generated from custom upfit packages from Outside Van subsidiary generally include the vehicle chassis, of which the Company has the risks and rewards of ownership and are recognized over-time as work is performed based on actual costs incurred.

We elected as a practical expedient to not capitalize the incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers since the amortization period would have been one year or less.
Provisions for discounts, rebates, sales incentives, returns, and other adjustments are generally provided for in the period the related sales are recorded, based on management’s assessment of historical trends and projection of future results.
Segments - The Company determined that as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, due to the manner in which we began to operate the business to further drive long term value to our shareholders and customers, we have three operating and reportable segments. The Company considers operating segments to be components of the Company in which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. Starting in March 2024, the Chief Executive Officer reviews additional financial information by operating and reportable segment for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
Reclassifications - We reclassified certain prior period amounts within our condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, and Note 2 - Revenues to conform to our current period presentation. The reclassifications did not have any impact on net income.
As of December 29, 2023, the Company classified all of its outstanding balance of the Incremental Term A Loan as non-current based on prepaying our required quarterly amortizing principal amounts for all of fiscal 2024. The prepayment was applied pro-rata to all future quarterly amounts instead. The Company analyzed the materiality of this accidental misclassification of current and non-current debt using Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and concluded that in light of surrounding circumstances, this item would not have altered the judgement of a reasonable person relying on the annual report. The current and non-current debt balances as of December 29, 2023 within our condensed consolidated balance sheets in this quarterly report on form 10-Q are recast to reflect the correct classification. The recast did not have any impact on net income.
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties - As of March 29, 2024, the Company is subject to those risks common in manufacturing-driven markets, including, but not limited to, competitive forces, dependence on key personnel, customer demand for its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations, and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing when needed.
International geopolitical conflicts, including continuing tensions between Taiwan and China, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Israel-Palestine conflict on the global economy, energy supplies and raw materials may prove to negatively impact the Company’s business and operations.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that requires the valuation of assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and revolver approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Total adjusted EBITDA presents the sum of the results of our three operating segments and unallocated corporate expenses on a consolidated basis. We believe that total adjusted EBITDA is an operating performance measure that measures operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles, and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. In reviewing our corporate operating results, we also believe it is important to review the aggregate consolidated performance of all of our segments on the same basis we review the performance of each of our segments and draw comparisons between periods based on the same measure of consolidated performance.
Management believes investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Many investors are interested in understanding the performance of our business by comparing our results from ongoing operations from one period to the next and would ordinarily add back items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of our business. By providing total adjusted EBITDA, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors' understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing strategic initiatives.
However, total adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and our total adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Total adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, total adjusted EBITDA:
•does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures or requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments;
•does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs; and
•does not reflect any costs related to the current or future replacement of assets being depreciated or amortized.
We also use total adjusted EBITDA:
•as a measure of operating performance to assist us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis because it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;
•for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budgets and financial projections;
•to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and
•as a basis to calculate incentive compensation payments for our key employees.
Please see Note 16 – Segment Information for our definition of adjusted EBITDA. Under ASC 280, adjusted EBITDA is our measure of segment profitability and financial performance of our operating segments, and when used in this context, the term adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA reported for the Company on a consolidated basis is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. Under ASU 2022-04, the buyer in a supplier finance program is required to disclose sufficient information to allow a user of the financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. These amendments will be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which will be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the interim disclosure requirements, as applicable, during the first quarter of 2023 and adopted the annual disclosure requirements, except for the annual rollforward, in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company expects to adopt the annual rollforward requirement in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer to the “Bailment Pool Arrangements” section within Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies for further details of this adoption.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. These amendments do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 may have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

7. Debt
2022 Credit Facility
On April 5, 2022, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and other named lenders (the “2022 Credit Facility”). The 2022 Credit Facility, which matures on April 5, 2027, provides for revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $650,000 .
On April 5, 2022, the Company borrowed $475,000 under the 2022 Credit Facility, which was used to repay all outstanding amounts owed under the Prior Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. Future advances under the 2022 Credit Facility will be used to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Company. To the extent not previously paid, all then-outstanding amounts under the 2022 Credit Facility are due and payable on the maturity date.
The Company paid $1,980 in debt issuance costs in connection with the 2022 Credit Facility, which were allocated to the revolver and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Additionally, the Company had $4,473 of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Prior Credit Facility. The Company expensed $1,927 of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs and allocated $2,546 to the 2022 Credit Facility.

The Company may borrow, prepay and re-borrow principal under the 2022 Credit Facility during its term. Advances under the 2022 Credit Facility can be either Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans or base rate loans. SOFR rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such calculation plus 0.10 % plus a margin ranging from 1.00 % to 2.00 %. Base rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 %, (ii) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the lender as its “prime rate”, and (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month tenor plus 1.00 %, subject to the interest rate floors set forth therein, plus a margin ranging from 0.00 % to 1.00 %. At March 29, 2024, the one-month SOFR and three-month SOFR rates were 5.32 % and 5.35 %, respectively. At March 29, 2024, our weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowing was 6.93 %.
On November 14, 2023, in connection and concurrently with the closing of the Marucci acquisition, the Company entered into the First Incremental Facility Amendment (the “Amendment”) amending the 2022 Credit Facility. The Amendment provided the Company with a term loan in an amount of $400,000 (the “Incremental Term A Loan”) and a delayed draw term loan in an amount of $200,000 (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and, together with the Incremental Term A Loan, the “Incremental Term Loans”), each of which are permitted under the 2022 Credit Facility, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Incremental Term A Loan was fully funded on November 14, 2023 and used to fund a portion of the consideration owed under the Marucci acquisition. The Delayed Draw Term Loan is available to the Company from and including December 6, 2023, until the earlier of (a) May 14, 2024 and (b) the date on which the Delayed Draw Term commitments have been terminated. Each Incremental Term Loan is subject to quarterly amortization payments of principal at a rate of 5.00 % per annum. The Incremental Term Loans are in the form of term SOFR loans and base rate loans, at the option of the Company, and have an applicable margin ranging from 0.50 % to 1.50 % for base rate loans and 1.50 % to 2.50 % for term SOFR loans, subject to adjustment provisions. Each Incremental Term Loan has a maturity date of April 5, 2027, consistent with the 2022 Credit Facility.
The Company paid $10,063 in debt issuance costs, of which $6,709 were allocated to the Term A Loan and $3,354 were allocated to the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Loan fees allocated to the Term A Loan are amortized using the interest method over the term of the Credit Facility. Loan fees allocated to the Delayed Draw Term Loan were deferred as an asset until the debt is drawn. Upon the drawing of the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the fees will be reclassified to a contra-liability account and amortized over the term of the drawn debt using the interest method.
The 2022 Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, restricts the Company’s ability to make certain payments and engage in certain transactions, and requires that the Company satisfy customary financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of March 29, 2024.

On June 11, 2021, the Company entered into a swap agreement (the “2021 Swap Agreement”) to obtain a more favorable interest rate and to manage interest rate risk exposure. On April 5, 2022, the Company terminated its 2021 Swap Agreement and entered into a new interest rate swap agreement (the “2022 Swap Agreement”). Through the 2022 Swap Agreement, the Company hedges the variability of cash flows in interest payments associated with $100,000 of its variable rate debt. Refer to Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging for further details of the 2022 Swap Agreement.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification Agreements - In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Legal Proceedings - On February 20, 2024, a complaint alleging violations of federal securities laws and seeking certification as a class action was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta. The complaint purports to seek damages on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased the Company’s common stock between May 6, 2021 and November 2, 2023. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act and alleges that the Company made material misstatements and omissions to investors regarding demand for the Company’s products and inventory levels. The complaint generally seeks money damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. The Company denies all allegations of wrongdoing, believes the plaintiffs' positions are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend itself. The defendants have not yet had the opportunity to respond to the complaint, as plaintiff is currently seeking, under applicable law, the court’s appointment of him as lead plaintiff and appointment of his counsel as lead counsel.
Bailment Pool Arrangements - The Company has relationships with several OEM partners, including General Motors (“GM”), Ford Motor Company (“Ford”), and Chrysler to obtain truck chassis. For Chrysler chassis, the Company pays a cash deposit upon transfer of the chassis to the Company’s premises, and records the chassis within prepaids and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets until the chassis is transferred to the dealer customer’s floor plan, at which time the cash deposit is returned to the Company. For GM and Ford, the Company has entered into floor plan financing agreements with the OEM. The Company receives an allocation of chassis and pays interest expense on the allocated value of trucks based on the duration of time they are on the Company’s premises. Bailment, which is the non-ownership transfer of the chassis from GM and Ford to the Company, ends when the vehicle is sold to an authorized dealer, or upon authorized return of the vehicle to the manufacturer. The Company does not pay a cash deposit to obtain GM and Ford chassis, and accordingly it does not recognize an asset or a liability related to these chassis. Interest payments made to manufacturer-affiliated finance companies are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
At March 29, 2024 and December 29, 2023, the Company had utilized $18,371 and $9,036 , respectively, out of a maximum of $49,400 of Ford allocation of chassis, and $9,591 and $11,362 , respectively, out of a maximum of $100,000 GM allocation of chassis. The Company incurred $214 and $450 of interest expense related to chassis on hand during the three months ended March 29, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

9. Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to limit its exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments based on the SOFR over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts.
As of March 29, 2024 and December 29, 2023, the Company had the following interest rate swap contracts:
| March 29, 2024 | December 29, 2023 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Effective Date | Termination Date | Notional Amount | Unrealized Gain in AOCI | Unrealized Gain in AOCI | ||||||||||||||||
| September 2, 2020 | June 11, 2021 | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||
| July 2, 2021 | April 5, 2022 | $ | ||||||||||||||||||
| April 5, 2022 | April 5, 2027 | $ | ||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||
On June 11, 2021, the Company terminated its existing swap agreement (the “2020 Swap Agreement”) and entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “2021 Swap Agreement”) with a notional amount of $200,000 . On April 5, 2022, the Company terminated its 2021 Swap Agreement and entered into a new interest rate swap agreement (the “2022 Swap Agreement”) with a notional amount of $100,000 . The terminated 2020 and 2021 Swap Agreements resulted in unrealized gains of $324 and $12,270 , respectively, at the termination dates that will continue to be accounted for in accumulated other comprehensive income and amortized into earnings over the term of the associated debt instrument.
The 2022 Swap Agreement has a maturity date of April 5, 2027 and is indexed to a three-month Term SOFR (as defined in the 2022 Swap Agreement). The 2022 Swap Agreement met the criteria as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), and is recorded to other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments for additional information on determining the fair value. The unrealized gains or losses, after tax, will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity, and are expected to be reclassified into interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income when the forecasted transactions affect earnings. As required under ASC 815, the interest rate swap contracts’ effectiveness will be assessed on a quarterly basis using a quantitative regression analysis.
The unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, deferred to accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were a gain of $1,459 and a loss of $2,000 , respectively. The reclassifications of gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings related to the derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges during the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were $1,785 and $1,063 , respectively.
Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to recognize $6,954 of the $8,228 of unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swap contracts.

10. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
The following table presents the Company’s hierarchy for its assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the following periods:
| March 29, 2024 | December 29, 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Incremental Term A Loan | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total liabilities measured at fair value | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 categories of the fair value hierarchy during the three month periods ended March 29, 2024.
As of March 29, 2024, the carrying amount of the principal under the Company’s 2022 Credit Facility - Incremental Term A Loan approximated fair value because it had a variable interest rate that reflected market changes in interest rates and changes in the Company’s net leverage ratio.
On June 11, 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 Swap Agreement to mitigate the cash flow risk associated with changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. On April 5, 2022, the Company terminated its 2021 Swap Agreement and entered into the 2022 Swap Agreement. Refer to Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging for additional details of the agreement. In accordance with ASC 815, an interest rate swap contract is recognized as an asset or liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is measured at fair value. The fair value was calculated utilizing Level 2 inputs.
11. Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Plan
On November 1, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan for up to $300,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The share repurchase program is scheduled to expire on November 1, 2028. Repurchases of shares of common stock under the stock repurchase plan will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made under a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion.
During the three months ended March 29, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 378 shares for $25,000 , at an average price of $66.03 . All repurchased shares were immediately retired. The aggregate cost of share repurchases and average price paid per share exclude 1% excise tax on share repurchases imposed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Common stock was reduced by the number of shares retired at $0.001 par value per share. The excess purchase price over par value was allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. As of March 29, 2024, authorized repurchases of $250,000 remain available to the Company.

As of March 29, 2024, the Company had approximately $16,612 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.06 years.
During the three months ended March 29, 2024, the Company issued performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executives that represent shares potentially issuable in the future. Issuance is based upon the Company’s performance, over a three -year performance period, against an adjusted EBITDA margin target. The PSUs vest only upon the achievement of the applicable performance goals for the performance period, and, depending on the actual achievement on the performance goals, the grantee may earn between 0 % and 200 % of the target PSUs. The company also issued PSUs to certain executives and non-executives based upon the Company’s performance, over a four-year performance period, against a trailing 12-month revenue target. These revenue-growth PSUs vest only upon the achievement of the applicable performance goals for the performance period, and, depending on the actual achievement on the performance goals, the grantee may earn between 0 % and 100% of the target PSUs. The fair value of PSUs is calculated based on the stock price on the date of grant assuming the performance goals will be achieved.

12. Net (Loss) Earnings Per Share
Basic net (loss) earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net (loss) income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net (loss) income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock units, which are reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. For purpose of the diluted net loss per share calculation, the potential dilutive common shares are excluded because their effect would be antidilutive; therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the three months ended March 29, 2024.
The Company excluded 139 and 1 shares from the calculation of diluted net (loss) earnings per share for the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, as these shares would have been antidilutive.

For the three months ended March 29, 2024, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate of 26.6 % and the 21 % federal statutory rate was due to the impact of discrete items and pre-tax loss.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate of 18.3 % and the 21% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from a lower tax rate on foreign derived intangible income, partially offset by state and foreign withholding taxes.
We do not expect the results from any ongoing income tax audits to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
14. Related Party Transactions
On March 3, 2023, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interest of Custom Wheel House. Custom Wheel House has building leases for its office facilities in California. The buildings are owned by the former owner of Custom Wheel House, who is now an employee of the Company. Rent expense under these leases was $185 for the three months ended March 29, 2024.
15. Acquisitions
Acquisition of Marucci Sports LLC
On November 14, 2023, the Company, through Fox Factory, Inc., acquired 100 % of the issued and outstanding stock of Wheelhouse Holdings Inc. ("Wheelhouse") from Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC for $567,236 , net of cash acquired. Wheelhouse is the parent company of Marucci, which is an industry-leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of premium performance baseball, softball, and other sports-related products. Marucci also develops and licenses franchises for sports training facilities, and its customer base is primarily located in the United States and certain international markets. The Company believes the acquisition advances FOX’s position as a diversified provider of market-leading branded products with a proven ability to win over both professional athletes and passionate consumer bases, while positioning the combined company for future profitable growth. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The purchase price of Marucci was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated respective fair values as of November 14, 2023 with the excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. During the three months ended March 29, 2024, the Company updated the purchase price allocation and recorded adjustments to net assets of $892 and goodwill of $850 . The following table summarizes the provisional fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

The gross contractual accounts receivable acquired in the acquisition was $32,455 , of which $1,187 was not expected to be collected.
The amounts above represent the Company’s provisional fair value estimates related to the acquisition as of November 14, 2023. The Company’s valuation is preliminary and subject to the Company’s validation of deferred taxes. The Company incurred $3,636 of acquisition costs in conjunction with the Marucci acquisition, $510 of which incurred during the three months ended March 29, 2024. These costs are classified as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of (loss) income. Additional debt issuance costs of $6,709 were incurred in association with financing the transaction and are amortized over the term of the Incremental Term Loan A. Refer to Note 7 - Debt for further details.
The values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets were determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows associated with these assets to their present value. The goodwill of $243,940 reflects the strategic fit of Marucci with the Company’s operations. The weighted average amortization period of the total acquired intangible assets was 16 years. The weighted average amortization periods of the customer and distributor relationship, trade name and trademark, and developed technology assets were 18 , 15 , and 13 years, respectively. Goodwill is expected to have an indefinite life and will be subject to impairment testing. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Marucci previously purchased intangibles in asset acquisitions with a remaining net tax basis approximating $57,735 , which the Company may deduct for income tax purposes.
The results of operations for Marucci have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of (loss) income since the closing date of the acquisition on November 14, 2023. The total revenue and pre-tax income for Marucci for the three months ended March 29, 2024 amounted to $59,588 and $4,365 , respectively.

Net sales and expenses are measured in accordance with the policies and procedures described in Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within our 2023 Form 10-K.
We measure the profitability and financial performance of our operating segments based on adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA provides a measure of our underlying segment results that is in line with our approach to risk management. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for (a) interest expense, (b) income tax or tax benefits, (c) amortization including amortization of purchased intangibles, (d) depreciation, (e) stock-based compensation, (f) litigation and settlement related expenses, (g) organizational restructuring expenses, (h) acquisition and integration-related expenses, and (i) strategic transformation costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
Segment asset information is not presented because it is not evaluated by the CODM at the segment level.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024, and our other reports and registration statements that we file with the SEC from time to time. In addition to historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section included in Part II, Item 1A.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “FOX,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Fox Factory Holding Corp. and its operating subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We may make forward-looking statements in our SEC filings, press releases, news articles, earnings presentations and when we are speaking on behalf of the Company. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “likely,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to risks related to:
•changes in general economic conditions, including market and macro-economic disruptions resulting from escalating tensions between China and Taiwan, the on-going Russian war in Ukraine, the Israel-Palestine conflict, or due to growing inflation or higher interest rates;
•our dependency on a limited number of suppliers for materials, product parts, and vehicle chassis could lead to an increase in material costs, disruptions in our supply chain, or reputational costs;
•our ability to develop new and innovative products in our current end-markets;
•our ability to leverage our technologies and brand to expand into new categories and end-markets;
•the spread of highly infectious or contagious disease, such as COVID-19, could cause severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economy, which could in turn disrupt the business activities and operations of our customers, as well as our businesses and operations;
•our ability to increase our aftermarket penetration;
•our ability to accelerate international growth;
•our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations;
•the loss of key customers;
•our ability to improve operating and supply chain efficiencies;
•our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights;
•our future financial performance, including our sales, cost of sales, gross profit or gross margins, operating expenses, ability to generate positive cash flow and ability to maintain our profitability;
•our ability to maintain our premium brand image and high-performance products;
•our ability to maintain relationships with the professional athletes and race teams we sponsor;
•our ability to selectively add additional dealers and distributors in certain geographic markets;
•the growth of the markets in which we compete, our expectations regarding consumer preferences and our ability to respond to changes in consumer preferences;
•changes in demand for performance-defining products;
27
•the loss of key personnel, management and skilled engineers;
•our ability to successfully identify, evaluate and manage potential or completed acquisitions and to benefit from such acquisitions;
•the outcome of pending litigation;
•future disruptions in the operations of our manufacturing facilities;
•our ability to adapt our business model to mitigate the impact of certain changes in tax laws;
•changes in the relative proportion of profit earned in the numerous jurisdictions in which we do business and in tax legislation, case law and other authoritative guidance in those jurisdictions;
•product recalls and product liability claims; and
•future economic or market conditions.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects and the outcomes of any of the events described in any forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors. In addition to the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed above and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risks, uncertainties and other factors expressed or implied in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024, could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and challenging environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those contemplated by, set forth in, or underlying any forward-looking statements. For all of these forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

| Net sales | $ | 333.5 | $ | 399.8 | $ | (66.3) | (16.6) | % | |||||||||||||||
Total net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2024 decreased $66.3 million, or 16.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net sales is primarily due to product mix and higher interest rates impacting industry and consumer demands and the ongoing Bike channel inventory recalibration, offset by the inclusion of $59.6 million in net sales from Marucci that was acquired in November 2023.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 29, 2024 decreased $36.3 million, or 13.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily due to our decreased sales. Our gross margin decreased 240 basis points to 30.9% for the three months ended March 29, 2024 as compared to the same prior fiscal year period primarily due to a shift in our product line mix and operating leverage on lower volume.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2024 were $94.3 million compared to $78.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Sales and marketing expenses increased $7.5 million and general and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million primarily due to the inclusion of Marucci operating expenses and a full fiscal quarter of Custom Wheel House operating expenses. Amortization of purchased intangibles increased by $5.3 million mainly due to amortization of additional acquired intangibles.

The effective tax rates were 26.6% and 18.3% for the three month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
For the three months ended March 29, 2024, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate of 26.6% and the 21% federal statutory rate was due to the impact of discrete items and pre-tax loss.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the difference between our effective tax rate of 18.3% and the 21% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from a lower tax rate on foreign derived intangible income and excess benefits related to stock-based compensation. The benefits were partially offset by withholding and state taxes.

Segment Review
Due in part to how we operate our business and to best serve our customers, we manage our activities based on three operating segments: Powered Vehicles Group, Aftermarket Applications Group, and Specialty Sports Group.
For additional financial information related to our operating segments including the reconciliation of net income attributable to our common shareholder to adjusted EBITDA, see Note 16 – Segment Information.

Powered Vehicles Group
Powered Vehicles Group net sales decreased by $24.1 million, or 16.9%, due to lower industry demand in Power Sports because of higher interest rates.
Powered Vehicles Group adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.8 million, or 10.2%, driven by a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by reductions across operating expenses from our cost control efforts.
Aftermarket Applications Group
Aftermarket Applications Group net sales decreased by $36.8 million, or 26.5%, driven by lower upfitting sales due to product mix and higher interest rates impacting industry dealers and consumers.
Aftermarket Applications Group adjusted EBITDA decreased by $21.4 million, or 59.0%, mainly due to lower gross profit driven by high interest rates, product mix shift, and reduced operating leverage on lower volume.
Specialty Sports Group
Specialty Sports Group net sales decreased by $5.4 million, or 4.5%, primarily due to a reduction in Bike sales of $65.0 million because of the ongoing Bike channel inventory recalibration, offset by the inclusion of $59.6 million in net sales from Marucci which we acquired in November 2023.
Specialty Sports Group adjusted EBITDA decreased by $16.7 million, or 40.9%, primarily due to a decline in gross profit driven by the ongoing Bike channel inventory recalibration, to a lesser extent, lower end consumer demand, and reduced operating leverage on lower volume, offset by the inclusion of Marucci which grew year over year.
Unallocated corporate expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses consist of corporate overhead expenses that are not directly attributable to one of our business segments and include unallocated occupancy costs for our corporate headquarters, acquisition costs, other benefit and compensation programs, including performance-based compensation, and administrative expenses such as accounting, finance, legal, human resources, and information technology expenses.
Unallocated corporate expenses decreased by $2.2 million, or 13.3%, driven by cost containment measures.
32
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash needs are to support working capital, interest on debt, employee compensation, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt repayments, and other general corporate purposes. Historically, we generally financed our liquidity needs with operating cash flows, borrowings under our Prior Credit Facility and our 2022 Credit Facility, and the issuance of common stock. These sources of liquidity may be impacted by events described in Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As of March 29, 2024, we held $16.8 million of our $69.6 million of cash and cash equivalents in accounts of our subsidiaries outside of the U.S., which we may repatriate.
A summary of our operating, investing and financing activities is shown in the following table:
| For the three months ended | |||||||||||

*Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
We expect that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under our 2022 Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations during the next 12 months from the date of this Form 10-Q and beyond.
Operating activities
In the three months ended March 29, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.4 million. Our investment in operating assets and liabilities is a result of an increase in prepaids and other assets of $36.5 million and decreases in accounts payable of $2.4 million, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.2 million, and income taxes payable of $0.8 million, partially offset by decreases in inventory of $20.0 million and accounts receivable of $5.3 million. The increase in prepaids and other assets is primarily due to carrying new model year chassis to meet current year production needs for the upfitting product lines and, to a lesser degree, slowing sales of older model years. The change in our accounts receivable reflects the timing of customer collections. The change in our accounts payable is driven by timing of inventory purchases and vendor payments. The change in accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily due to settlements of sales rebate accruals. The decrease in inventory reflects our continued efforts to optimize inventory levels.
In the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $66.8 million. Our investment in operating assets and liabilities is a result of increases in prepaids and other assets of $112.2 million, inventory of $11.5 million, and decreases in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $7.8 million, accounts payable of $6.7 million and income taxes payable of $4.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $9.4 million. The change in prepaids and other assets is primarily due to a higher supply of chassis as we ramp up to meet current year production needs for our upfitting product line. The increase in inventory is primarily due to our acquisition of Custom Wheel House in February 2023. The change in accrued expenses and other liabilities is primarily due to payments made for compensation and tax related accruals in the first quarter. The changes in accounts payable and account receivable reflect the timing of customer collections and vendor payments.
Investing activities
In the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $15.3 million and $144.3 million, respectively. Investing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2024 consisted of $9.9 million of property and equipment additions, $5.0 million of cash consideration for our acquisitions and $0.4 million of cash consideration for our acquisition of other assets. Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of $130.9 million of cash consideration for our purchase of Custom Wheel House, $11.1 million of property and equipment additions and $2.3 million in cash consideration for our purchase of other assets.
33
Financing activities
In the three months ended March 29, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $7.9 million, and consisted of the proceeds from our 2022 Credit Facility of $70.0 million that were used to support our working capital, offset by payments of $48.0 million to reduce the revolver borrowings, $3.6 million quarterly repayment on our Term A Loan, $25.0 million to repurchase shares of our common stock for retirement, and payments of $1.3 million to repurchase shares of our common stock to cover withholding taxes from our stock-based compensation program.
In the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $157.8 million, and consisted of the net proceeds from our 2022 Credit Facility of $160.0 million that were used to finance our purchase of Custom Wheel House, partially offset by payments of $2.2 million to repurchase shares of our common stock from our stock-based compensation program.
2022 Credit Facility
On April 5, 2022, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and other named lenders (the “2022 Credit Facility”). The 2022 Credit Facility, which matures on April 5, 2027, provides for revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $650.0 million.
On April 5, 2022, the Company borrowed $475.0 million under the 2022 Credit Facility, which was used to repay all outstanding amounts owed under the Prior Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. Future advances under the 2022 Credit Facility will be used to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Company. To the extent not previously paid, all then-outstanding amounts under the 2022 Credit Facility are due and payable on the maturity date.
The Company paid $2.0 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the 2022 Credit Facility, which were allocated to the revolver and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Additionally, the Company had $4.5 million of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Prior Credit Facility. The Company expensed $1.9 million of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs and allocated $2.5 million to the 2022 Credit Facility.
The Company may borrow, prepay and re-borrow principal under the 2022 Credit Facility during its term. Advances under the 2022 Credit Facility can be either Adjusted Term SOFR loans or base rate loans. SOFR rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such calculation plus 0.10% plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.00%. Base rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the lender as its “prime rate”, and (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month tenor plus 1.00%, subject to the interest rate floors set forth therein, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 1.00%. At March 29, 2024, the one-month SOFR and three-month SOFR rates were 5.32% and 5.35%, respectively. At March 29, 2024, our weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowing was 6.93%.
On November 14, 2023, in connection and concurrently with the closing of the Marucci acquisition, the Company entered into the First Incremental Facility Amendment (the “Amendment:) amending the 2022 Credit Facility. The Amendment provided the Company with the Incremental Term A Loan in an amount of $400.0 million and the Delayed Draw Term Loan in an amount of $200.0 million, each of which are permitted under the 2022 Credit Facility, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Incremental Term A Loan was fully funded on November 14, 2023 and used to fund a portion of the consideration owed under the Marucci acquisition. The Delayed Draw Term Loan is available to the Company for up to six months commencing on December 6, 2023, until the earlier of (a) May 14, 2024 and (b) the date on which the Delayed Draw Term commitments have been terminated. Each Incremental Term Loan is subject to quarterly amortization payments of principal at a rate of 5.00% per annum. The Incremental Term Loans are in the form of term SOFR loans and base rate loans, at the option of the Company, and have an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% to 2.50% for term SOFR loans, subject to adjustment provisions. Each Incremental Term Loan has a maturity date of April 5, 2027, consistent with the 2022 Credit Facility.
The Company paid $10.1 million in debt issuance costs, of which $6.7 million were allocated to the Term A Loan and $3.4 million were allocated to the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Loan fees allocated to the Term A Loan are amortized using the interest method over the term of the Credit Facility. Loan fees allocated to the Delayed Draw Term Loan were deferred as an asset until the debt is drawn. Upon the drawing of the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the fees will be reclassified to a contra-liability account and amortized over the term of the drawn debt using the interest method.
The 2022 Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, restricts the Company’s ability to make certain payments and engage in certain transactions, and requires that the Company satisfy customary financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of March 29, 2024.

Material Cash Requirements
There have been no material changes to the information in our material cash requirements related to commitments or contractual obligations from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024.
Inflation
Historically, inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations. However, significant increases in inflation, particularly those related to wages and increases in the cost of raw materials have and could continue to have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to the disclosures discussed in the section “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2024. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 29, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
35
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 20, 2024, a complaint alleging violations of federal securities laws and seeking certification as a class action was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta. The complaint purports to seek damages on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased the Company’s common stock between May 6, 2021 and November 2, 2023. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act and alleges that the Company made material misstatements and omissions to investors regarding demand for the Company’s products and inventory levels. The complaint generally seeks money damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. The Company denies all allegations of wrongdoing, believes the plaintiffs' positions are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend itself. The defendants have not yet had the opportunity to respond to the complaint, as plaintiff is currently seeking, under applicable law, the court’s appointment of him as lead plaintiff and appointment of his counsel as lead counsel.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Work stoppages or other disruptions, including those that involve our customers, could adversely affect our operating results.
A portion of our goods move through ports on the coasts of the U.S. We have a global supply chain, and we import products from our third-party vendors and our Fox Taiwan facility into the U.S. largely through these ports. Dockworkers, none of whom are our employees, must offload freight from ships arriving at these ports. We do not control the activities of these employees or seaports, and we could suffer supply chain disruptions due to any disputes, capacity shortages, slowdowns, or shutdowns that may occur, as was experienced in February 2015, in relation to certain ports on the West Coast of the U.S. The 2015 strike lasted longer than we forecasted, and any similar labor dispute in the future or any slowdown or stoppage relating to the ongoing labor agreement negotiations could potentially have a negative effect on both our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the Baltimore Francis Scott Key bridge accident in March 2024 leading to the suspension of activity in the Port of Baltimore caused rerouting of shipping vessels, which may create congestion and delays in other ports, including certain East Coast ports through which we import products, increase fuel costs for shipping, and have long-standing impacts on supply chains in the retail and manufacturing industries. Furthermore, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic increased uncertainty for global supply chains, as port congestion and shipping container shortages have become exacerbated, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Work stoppages, labor disputes, and other disruptions involving our customers or otherwise could also adversely affect our operating results. For example, the United Auto Workers Union (“UAW”) 2023 strike impacted Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Stellantis after the UAW was unable to reach a deal with the three automakers. Automotive OEMs are some of the largest customers of our powered vehicle suspension products. The 2023 UAW strike may have lingering effects that could continue to impact the automotive industry. Any such lingering effects may adversely impact our own business, financial
36
condition, or results of operation. Any future strikes, including those against our customers, are highly unpredictable and may negatively affect our business. The ultimate impact on our business, financial position, and results of operations will depend on factors beyond our control, including the duration and scope of labor strikes.
Except as noted in this Item 1A, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Form 10-K for the 2023 fiscal year ended December 29, 2023.
