Clarus Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results

The higher earnings outlook comes alongside a reduced full-year free cash flow forecast, now expected to break even.

Rhea-AI Summary

Clarus (NASDAQ: CLAR) returned to profitability in the third quarter of 2026 and raised its full-year sales and adjusted earnings outlook. Sales rose 2.7% year over year to $71.2 million; net income was $3.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, versus a $1.6 million loss. Gross margin increased to 41.0% from 35.1%, including approximately 80 basis points from tariff refunds. Adjusted EBITDA, an adjusted earnings measure, rose to $6.8 million from $1.8 million.

Outdoor sales increased 12.4%, while Adventure sales fell 20.2%. Clarus now expects 2026 sales of $251 million–$255 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $15 million–$17 million. However, full-year free cash flow is now expected to break even, versus $6 million previously. Cash fell to $20.8 million from $36.7 million at year-end; the balance sheet remained debt free. A strategic review, including a potential sale of all or part of the business, continues with Jefferies.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

ieepa, gaap, ebitda, free cash flow

4 terms

ieepa regulatory

"International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariffs"

A U.S. law that gives the president broad authority to control trade, freeze assets, and block financial transactions during a declared national emergency. Investors care because those powers can abruptly restrict a company's ability to sell products, access cash, or do business with certain countries or parties, creating sudden risks to revenues, supply chains and share prices — like an emergency brake that can stop or reroute parts of a business overnight.

gaap financial

"in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

View in glossary

ebitda financial

"earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)"

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

View in glossary

free cash flow financial

"free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures)"

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

Management Commentary
“We delivered strong third quarter results, reflecting the tangible progress we continue to make against our strategic priorities,” said Warren Kanders, Clarus’ Executive Chairman. “Our efforts to simplify the business, sharpen our product focus and improve operating efficiency are translating into stronger financial performance including gross margins north of 40% at both segments, driving significant net income and adjusted EBITDA growth year-over-year. This improvement in underlying profitability, which also reflects the recovery of previously paid IEEPA tariffs, underscores the benefits of our reduced cost structure and prioritization of our highest-volume and highest-margin products. Supported by continued positive momentum across our Outdoor and Adventure segments, we are pleased to raise our full-year guidance, reflecting our confidence in business fundamentals and constructive outlook for the remainder of 2026.”

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
On a consolidated basis, sales in the third quarter were $71.2 million compared to $69.3 million in the same year‐ago quarter, up 2.7%. Sales in the Outdoor segment increased 12.4% to $54.7 million, compared to $48.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales in the Adventure segment decreased 20.2% to $16.5 million, compared to $20.7 million in the year-ago quarter.

Sales in the Outdoor segment increased due to increases in global wholesale, independent global distributor, and global direct-to-consumer revenues. Sales in the Adventure segment decreased due to an unfavorable wholesale market in Australia for Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX, partially offset by favorable FX.

Gross margin in the third quarter was 41.0% compared to 35.1% in the year‐ago quarter. The gross margin increase was primarily attributable to higher volumes and a favorable product mix at the Outdoor segment and receiving $0.6 million of IEEPA tariff refunds which was partially offset by lower volume at the Adventure segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter were $25.3 million compared to $26.2 million in the same year‐ago quarter. Third quarter 2026 expenses reflect decreases at the Adventure segment as a result of lower marketing, depreciation, amortization, and employee-related costs. Additionally, Corporate costs decreased due to lower outside service and employee-related costs. These decreases were partially offset by increases at the Outdoor segment due to higher sales expenses, partially offset by lower amortization costs.

Net income in the third quarter of 2026 was $3.3 million with a net income margin of 4.6%, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(1.6) million with a net loss margin of (2.3)%, or $(0.04) per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

Adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2026 was $5.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted net income excludes amortization of intangibles, disposal of internally developed software, restructuring charges, transaction costs, contingent consideration benefit, inventory fair value of purchase accounting, and stock-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2026 was $6.8 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.6%, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 2.6%, in the same year‐ago quarter. By segment adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2026 was $8.0 million at Outdoor and $0.8 million at Adventure, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $4.4 million at Outdoor and $0.3 million at Adventure, in the same year-ago quarter.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2026, was $6.2 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $5.7 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to significantly increased accounts receivable at the Outdoor segment from strong sales in the month of September 2026. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2026 were $1.2 million compared to $1.2 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2026 was an outflow of $7.4 million compared to an outflow of $6.9 million in the prior year quarter.

Liquidity at September 30, 2026 vs. December 31, 2025

• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $20.8 million compared to $36.7 million.
• The balance sheet was debt free at the end of both periods.

Strategic Review
The Company previously announced that its Board of Directors initiated a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. This review continues and includes a range of potential strategic alternatives, including, among other things, the sale of all or part of the business or other strategic or financial transactions involving the Company. The review has no deadline or definitive timetable and there can be no assurance that the review will result in any transaction or other strategic outcome. The Company does not intend to disclose further developments regarding the review unless and until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required. Clarus has retained Jefferies LLC as its financial advisor.

2026 Outlook
The Company now expects fiscal year 2026 sales to range between $251 million and $255 million and adjusted EBITDA to range between approximately $15 million and $17 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.3% at the mid-point of the revenue and adjusted EBITDA ranges, compared to its prior outlook of sales of $245 million to $255 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $12 million to $13 million. Capital expenditures are expected to remain between $6 million and $7 million, consistent with the Company’s prior outlook, and free cash flow is now expected to be break even for the full year 2026, compared to the Company’s prior outlook of $6 million. For the fourth quarter of 2026, sales are expected to range between $62 million and $66 million, and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $3 million.

Clarus has not provided net income or net cash provided by operating activities guidance because it cannot forecast, without unreasonable effort, certain expenses, gains, changes in working capital and other items affecting those measures. Accordingly, the Company does not provide reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin or free cash flow guidance to their most directly comparable GAAP measures for fiscal year 2026.

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 net income (loss) 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 net income (loss) and related earnings (loss) per diluted share, (iii) EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow, provides 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, adjusted EBITDA margin and/or free cash flow for the fiscal year 2026 to net income for the fiscal year 2026, 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, adjusted EBITDA margin and/or free cash flow. 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
Please note that in this press release we may use words such as “appears,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “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 statements are made based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

What were Clarus CLAR's third-quarter 2026 earnings and sales?

What is Clarus CLAR's updated full-year 2026 outlook?

The prior ranges were $245 million–$255 million and approximately $12 million–$13 million, respectively. Free cash flow is now expected to break even, compared with the previous $6 million outlook.

Why did Clarus CLAR use more operating cash in the third quarter of 2026?
