Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On March 5, 2026, Clarus Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 to understand 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. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin 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 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.

Management Commentary
“We took decisive actions in 2025 to sharpen our focus and position Clarus for category-specific growth and greater profitability,” said Warren Kanders, Executive Chairman. “We advanced our strategic roadmap throughout the year by refining our organizational structure, optimizing our product portfolio, and strengthening our go-to-market approach. In the Outdoor segment, we achieved consecutive quarters of improved performance driven by prioritizing Black Diamond’s highest-performing and most profitable styles, positioning the business for sustained profitability and operating margin expansion. Apparel continued to be a key growth driver, delivering another quarter of double-digit sales growth in Q4. In the Adventure segment, despite experiencing lower OEM demand and customer transitions, we took steps to enhance our leadership position in Australia. We saw new customer wins and sell-in in Australia and Europe, which we believe will lay the groundwork for improved performance going forward.”
Mr. Kanders added, “As we look to 2026, we expect ongoing volatility in the global consumer environment, but the Company is significantly better positioned than this time last year. Following a multi-year transformation, the Black Diamond organization is leaner, more focused, and more competitive, and we expect our strategic initiatives to drive improved profitability. At Adventure, we are balancing growth and operational execution while advancing a robust pipeline of innovative products, with multiple new platforms expected to launch over the next 18 months. With a debt-free balance sheet and strong liquidity, we remain focused on executing our long-term growth strategy, disciplined capital allocation, and maximizing shareholder value.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Sales in the fourth quarter were $65.4 million compared to $71.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. Sales in the Outdoor segment decreased 8% to $47.2 million, compared to $51.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. Sales in the Adventure segment decreased 10% to $18.2 million, compared to $20.3 million in the year-ago quarter.
The decrease in Outdoor sales was due to softness in North America wholesale, lower global DTC revenues, and lower PIEPS revenue due to its sale in July 2025, partially offset by an increase in IGD and Europe wholesale revenue. IGD and Europe wholesale sales in the Outdoor segment were up $1.4 million, or 9%. Apparel globally was up 10% in the fourth quarter.
The decrease in sales in the Adventure segment reflects significantly reduced demand from global OEM customers and a challenging wholesale market in Australia for Rhino-Rack, partially offset by increased contributions from the acquisition of RockyMounts. RockyMounts contributed $1.0 million in incremental sales growth compared to the prior year period.
Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 27.7% compared to 33.4% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to higher inventory reserves within the Adventure segment to address slow-moving and obsolete inventory, tariff impacts at both segments, lower volumes at the Outdoor segment due to the sale of PIEPS, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts at the Outdoor segment. These decreases were partially offset by a favorable product mix and lower PFAS inventory reserves at the Outdoor segment. Adjusted gross margin, reflecting the PFAS related and other inventory reserves and inventory fair value adjustments as a result of purchase accounting, was 33.6% for the quarter compared to 38.0% in the year-ago quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter were $25.5 million compared to $27.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee-related expenses, lower costs from PIEPS due to its sale, as well as expense reduction initiatives across both segments and at Corporate to manage costs.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite-lived assets of $29.9 million. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite-lived assets of $44.8 million as well as an increase in tax expense of $21.0 million for a valuation allowance to fully reserve all deferred tax assets associated with U.S. federal income taxes.
The loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $31.3 million, or $(0.81) per diluted share, compared to loss from continuing operations of $73.3 million, or $(1.92) per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Loss from continuing operations in the fourth quarter included a non-cash impairment charge for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $29.9 million in the Adventure segment due to the sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and lower sales and profitability in the segment compared to expectations. The loss also includes $9.3 million of costs and charges associated with amortization of intangibles, restructuring charges, transactions costs, disposal of internally developed software, PFAS and other inventory reserves, legal costs and regulatory matter expenses, and stock-based compensation.
Adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $3.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $3.2 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted net loss excludes legal costs and regulatory matters expenses, restructuring charges and transaction costs, as well as non-cash items for intangible amortization, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, disposal of internally developed software, inventory fair value of purchase accounting, PFAS and other inventory reserves, deferred tax valuation allowance, and stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter was $1.2 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 1.8%, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $4.4 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.1%, in the same year-ago quarter.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $12.5 million compared to net cash provided of $16.6 million in the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $0.9 million compared to $2.2 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $11.6 million.
Liquidity at December 31, 2025 vs. December 31, 2024
| · | Cash and cash equivalents totaled $36.7 million compared to $45.4 million. |
| · | Total debt of $0.0 million compared to $1.9 million. |
Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Sales in 2025 decreased 5.2% to $250.4 million compared to $264.3 million in 2024. The decrease in sales in the Adventure segment was due to significantly lower demand from global original equipment manufacturer customers and a challenging wholesale market in Australia for both Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX, combined with a prior year large wholesale customer in North America not recurring in 2025, which was partially offset by the benefit from the RockyMounts acquisition. Sales in the Outdoor segment decreased due to lower independent global distributor revenue, lower global direct-to-consumer revenue and a decrease due to the sale of PIEPS in July 2025. Prior to its sale, PIEPS revenue was $2.1 million in 2025, compared to $5.5 million for the full year 2024.
From a segment perspective, Outdoor sales were down $6.7 million or 3.7% to $176.9 million and Adventure sales were down $7.2 million or 8.9% to $73.6 million.
Gross margin in 2025 was 33.1% compared to 35.0% in 2024 primarily due to lower volumes at the Outdoor and Adventure segments, impacts due to tariffs imposed by the United States for both segments, and an unfavorable product mix at the Adventure segment. This was partially offset by a favorable product mix at the Outdoor segment due to simplification initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2025 were $105.2 million compared to $111.9 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower digital marketing and employee-related costs, lower costs from PIEPS due to its sale in July 2025, as well as lower retail expenses due to store closures and other expense reduction initiatives to manage costs across the businesses and corporate.
Loss from continuing operations in 2025 was $46.6 million, or $(1.21) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $88.4 million, or $(2.31) per diluted share, in the prior year. Loss from continuing operations for 2025 included a non-cash impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets charge of $29.9 million in the Adventure segment and a $1.6 million impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets in the Outdoor segment, specifically the PIEPS trademark. The loss also includes $25.7 million of cost and charges associated with amortization of intangibles, restructuring charges, transactions costs, contingent consideration benefits, disposal of internally developed software, other inventory reserves, legal costs and regulatory matter expenses, and stock-based compensation.
Adjusted income from continuing operations in 2025 was $3.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to adjusted loss from continuing operations in 2024 of $2.6 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share. Adjusted net loss excludes legal cost and regulatory matters expenses, restructuring charges and transaction costs, as well as non-cash items for intangible amortization, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, disposal of internally developed software, inventory fair value of purchase accounting, PFAS and other inventory reserves, contingent consideration benefits, deferred tax valuation allowance, and stock-based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA in 2025 was $1.1 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 0.4%, compared to $6.9 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 2.6%, in 2024.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $4.7 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7.3 million in 2024. Capital expenditures in 2025 were $5.2 million compared to $6.7 million in the prior year. Free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2025, was an outflow of $9.9 million compared to an outflow of $14.0 million in the same year-ago period.
2026 Outlook
The Company expects fiscal year 2026 sales to range between $255 million and $265 million and adjusted EBITDA to range between approximately $9 million and $11 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.8% at the mid-point of revenue and adjusted EBITDA. In addition, capital expenditures are expected to range between $6 million and $7 million and free cash flow is expected to range between $3 and $4 million for the full year 2026. Clarus has not provided net income guidance due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, which affect net income but not Adjusted EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Therefore, we do not provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to net income guidance for fiscal year 2026.
Net Operating Loss (NOL) and Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $41.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively. All federal NOLs will have an indefinite carryforward period. Federal research and experimentation credits have a limited carryforward period and will begin to expire in tax year 2033.

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 enable 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 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 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.

Exhibit 99.2
Q4 EARNINGS PRESENTATION MARCH 5, 2026
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 2026 to net income for the fiscal y ear 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 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.
