Now I'd like to turn the call over to Clarus' Executive Chairman, Warren Kanders.

Thank you, Matt. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining Clarus' earnings call to review our results for the second quarter. I am joined today by our Chief Financial Officer, Mike Yates as well as Neil Fiske and Mat Hayward, who will discuss our Outdoor and Adventure segments, respectively. Before I turn the call over, I'd like to highlight the incremental progress we have made thus far in 2024, executing Clarus' strategic initiatives to seek to create long-term value. While overall macroeconomic conditions have remained challenging with consumer demand broadly constrained, we are confident that we have laid the foundation for expected sustainable growth moving forward. It is worth reiterating that we remain in the early stages of our multiyear strategic plan, but believe the investments we have made to date will deliver significant long-term benefit. While Neil and Matt will provide more specific comments, we continue to take positive steps forward in each segment during the quarter. At Outdoor, in the face of strong market headwinds, the team continued to execute initiatives focused on simplification and rightsizing of the inventory. Importantly, inventory levels were down 17% year-over-year and we've improved the quality and composition of the inventory to focus on our A styles across categories, which Neil will discuss in greater detail. From an operational standpoint, we identified several opportunities that may drive efficiencies in the business, and we've been pleased with our progress both reducing operating costs and solidifying the core. In the Adventure segment, while Q2 results reflected market softness, particularly in the United States, we continue to see positive trends during the first half of the year within the broader segment primarily in Australia. As we have detailed previously, we believe there are significant growth opportunities outside of the home market, and we continue to invest proactively to capitalize on the strong long-term industry dynamics and largely growing addressable market across our verticals. Mat will discuss the team's broader corporate realignment and recent appointments which we believe will bring a focus to the U.S. and international markets and strengthen our global OEM initiatives. We believe we now have the right team and strategic road map in place to build out a best-in-class product ecosystem while maintaining a commitment to enhance product margins as we scale. As we look towards the future, we recognize there is still much more work to be done, but are pleased with the incremental improvements we have seen across the business and believe that the previously stated long-term profitability objectives are achievable. With that, thank you for being with us today, and I will turn the call over to Mike.

Thank you, Warren, and good afternoon, everyone. On today's call, I'll provide a brief Q2 update before turning it over to Mat and Neil to review segment performance. I will then conclude with a more detailed summary of our Q2 financial results and then open it up for a Q&A session. Beginning on Slide 4. We continue to advance our strategic plan in the second quarter with Clarus positioned for long-term growth as a pure-play ESG-friendly outdoor business. As a reminder, this was our first full quarter following the divestiture of the Precision Sports segment in Q1. As Warren mentioned, in the second quarter, we advanced our strategic initiatives to reposition the organizational structure, drive balance sheet improvement and deemphasize categories and revenue streams that do not enhance our goal to find our foundation and drive profitable growth. In the Outdoor segment, our simplification initiatives remain on track as we continue to focus on our core categories and build on positions of strength. We previously indicated that we believe we were seeing stabilization in the North American market, and we can confirm that today. In the first half of the year against a difficult backdrop where many of our peers have seen sales decline, our North American wholesale business was up 1% over the prior year period, which is encouraging as we have been simplifying and rationalizing our scope of products. We view this as evidence that our strategy of leaning into our best categories with our best customers is working. Operationally, we have continued to streamline our development process, leaning on excellent vendor partners to deliver better products and tighter timelines, which is the engine for higher-margin growth. Over at the Adventure segment, revenue increased year-over-year for the fourth consecutive quarter. Although overall sales growth and profitability were affected…

Thanks, Mike. I'll begin my remarks on Slide 6. Following the reset and stabilization of our business, we continue to take steps in the second quarter consistent with our primary objective of investing to scale and finding integrated efficiency across our portfolio of businesses. In our core Australia and New Zealand markets, results were solid and execution remains on track. Sales growth and margin expansion were once again driven by strong demand by OEM customers and specific key accounts. This was partially offset by softness in certain retail accounts as we've seen customers managing Australian fiscal year-end inventory levels tighter than in prior years. Overall, we're pleased with the results in the first half of the year across our ANZ business, supported by net sales, gross profit and EBITDA consistent with our expectations. It is also worth highlighting our progress driving down inventory levels below our targets in these regions. Zooming in on specific channels. While we saw outperformance in wholesale and OEM in the first half of the year, sales in the U.S. and rest of world lagged behind. As a result, second quarter margins, in particular, were adversely impacted with the channel mix skewed more towards OEM product rather than higher margin foreign distribution revenue. Simply put, the U.S. market has not delivered to plan, and that weakness hampered our results. While we underperformed in terms of second quarter net sales, gross profit and EBITDA, we believe our key investments made in the first half of the year should pay expected dividends moving forward. Most importantly, in July of this year, we hired a new leader in the business who has the full support of our global shift services team. Tripp Wyckoff will be responsible for managing and growing each of the Adventure brands in the Americas, including…

Thanks, Mat. Turning to Slide 7. Overall, results in the Outdoor segment were in line with our expectations for the quarter, and we are pleased with our progress in the face of some strong market headwinds. Actions in Q2 represented our key themes for 2024: simplifying the business to solidify our core, improving profitability and laying the foundation for long-term sustainable growth. Overall, revenues met our expectations for the quarter in the context of a market that is still adjusting to the post-pandemic demand levels. In North America, wholesale revenues were down 4.7% on a comparable basis with significantly less promotional activity and one fewer mat pricing breaks this year. For the first half of the year, as you've heard, North American wholesale grew 1% year-over-year. We've rebuilt the sales team in North America and are very pleased with the results that we are seeing. North America digital B2C was down 15.7% for the quarter, due in large part to less promotional activity and not repeating our huge June clearance event from last year. The digital channel represented 20.5% of the region's revenue compared to 22% last year. While retail stores accounted for 4.4% of the total, down from 5.8% last year. In the European wholesale market, we saw a sequential improvement over the first quarter with a 5% decline versus a 17% drop in Q1, again, in line with our expectations. We see further improvement ahead in H2 with an outlook that is flat to up slightly in wholesale. That said, many accounts in Europe have bought conservatively for the fall/winter season and are counting on fill-in orders if the weather is normal to favorable. EU digital direct-to-consumer grew 7.4%, and we expect some modest acceleration in the second half, although that channel is still a relatively low 7.6%…

Thank you, Neil. Turning to Slide 8. I'll begin with a summary of our financial performance in the second quarter. As a reminder, and as we have noted previously, given the sale of Precision Support segment for approximately $175 million, which was closed in the first quarter of this year, our U.S. GAAP results are comprised of Outdoor and the Adventure segment, and the results are referred to as continuing operations. Second quarter sales were $56.5 million compared to $57.9 million in the prior year second quarter. The 3% decline in total sales was driven by a decrease in the Outdoor segment of 10% that Neil just mentioned. This is was partially offset by Adventure segment sales growth of 14%. Overall, FX was immaterial in this quarter. Moving to the consolidated gross margins. In the second quarter, gross margin was 36.1% compared to 39% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in the PFAS-related inventory reserves, unfavorable product mix in Outdoor and higher inventory and sales return reserve expenses for the Adventure segment. Adjusted gross margin adjusted for the PFAS reserve that Neil mentioned, which was $716,000 in the quarter, adjusted gross margin adjusting for the PFAS reserve of 37.4% compared to 39% in the year ago quarter. Q2 selling and general and administrative expenses were $28.1 million compared to $26.9 million in the same year ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to additional investments in marketing initiatives at Adventure as well as higher employee-related expenses across the company, including higher bonus expense and the 15 new employees added to the Adventure segment to help scale the business. These investments were partially offset by expense reduction initiatives at the Outdoor segment to manage cost as well as lower intangible amortization. Our adjusted EBITDA loss…

Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] The first question comes from Matt Koranda from ROTH Capital. Please go ahead.

Hey, guys. Good afternoon.

Hello, Matt.

I guess just to dig in a little bit more. Hey, Mike. So just wanted to dig in a little bit more on the EBITDA guide and the $4.5 million change that you mentioned. So I guess just the follow-on question to your explanation is just why the change that we're seeing now? I guess, wouldn't you have contemplated a scale-up investment in the business prior to sort of the long-term planning you did in preparation for the Investor Day in March? And I guess, could you break down the $4.5 million a little bit more in detail? I know you mentioned there are some buckets in there, like new team members, marketing, supply chain. Any further detail you can provide around sort of where we're making the investments and why we expect those to bear fruit?

Well, sure. No, great question. So obviously, it's investment and the decline in Q2's, I think in Mat's commentary, and we've already acknowledged that Q2 way underperformed here in the U.S., right? So we've probably underperformed by our budget – from a budget perspective by $2 million to $3 million of what we thought we have profitability would be coming out of the U.S. business here in the second quarter, all right? So that – and that's not going to – like we said in our prepared remarks, we're not going to be able to make that up, right? The season in the U.S. is in the Q2 period. That's the biggest period we would expect to do business in the U.S. So quite disappointed by that. On the flip side, we are committed to our plan. We think we have a great brand, a great product and we think the market is ripe for us to take advantage of this. That's why we've gone ahead and we've hired Tripp Wyckoff to lead the Americas, right, whether that's Canada and North America – all throughout North America. And his background, he did this once 12 years earlier in his career for Thule. He's a proven leader. He knows the folks in – at the distributor level. He's already spoke with them all as part of his diligence to take the job, right? So we're excited about what he can do to come in and help get the Rhino-Rack brand, that is a market leader that is showing the strength in Australia and New Zealand and the OEM space and grow that here in North America. So what – quantifying the investments, a lot of it is people. We've hired 15 more people across the businesses to help scale the business…

Okay. Got it. So it sounds like maybe things have righted a little bit toward the latter portion of the quarter on the topline at the very least.

Yes. Yes, indeed.

Okay. All right. Got it. And then one other, I guess, more outlook-oriented question, which is just – I guess if I triangulate between the full-year guide and what you put out for the third quarter, it does imply like a pretty good improvement in EBITDA margin heading into the fourth quarter and just kind of wondering where we get the confidence to say that we're going to be able to jump up to what looks like a low double-digit EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter. Where specifically can we highlight some costs that maybe were pulling out or some improvement fundamentally in one of the segments where we can get there?

Yes. No, no. So right. So at the midpoint of the Q3 revenue, 72.5%, which implies the fourth quarter is 77.5%, right? So that's for the fourth quarter of revenue. The difference of what you're highlighting is I'm only guiding $3 million to $4 million of, call it, $3.5 million at the midpoint of profitability for the third quarter. But to get to the $12.5 million, I need $9 million of profitability in the fourth quarter. So your question is spot on. And so that is exactly how we're looking at it. Interestingly enough, right, the fourth quarter this year is setting up to be our strongest quarter in that how the numbers are coming together specifically over the Adventure business and at the Black Diamond business. Neil, Mat, either one of you want to comment on why you stayed at your confidence level for the fourth quarter on the topline?

Yes. Look, it's Mat here from Adventure. Look, Q4 is typically our strongest. One of the benefits – we have had softness in Q2, as you called out, we haven't performed in the U.S. The benefit going into the back half is ANZ, it's our peak season. We are introducing a range of new products across the three different brands, Q4 being the dominant one. Added to that some cost-out projects that are more based on long-term efficiency and our product mix. We're also looking to see some of the fruit of our global supply chain project kind of kick in as well. So there's a number of things linked into, I guess, the timing and the phasing of it. But the dominant factor is H2 being the strongest season as we go into our peak summer season in ANZ. And at that point of time as well, we've also factored in the ability for Tripp kind of heading into his fourth and fifth month in the job and his relationships in the market being able to stabilize our U.S. projections. So that's why we have confidence in H2 from an Adventure point of view.

And Matt, I can add on from the Outdoor perspective. So fourth quarter is naturally our biggest quarter just in terms of demand and seasonal build. And we get a tremendous amount of operating leverage in the fourth quarter. So the flow-through on that revenue is extremely high. Secondly, we've taken an incremental amount of cost out of the operating model at Black Diamond that I think will ensure that we hit our profitability goals for Q4, specifically, about $700,000 in the quarter alone from incremental cost-out initiatives that we've put in place. And frankly, this will continue to build into 2025. And thirdly, I would say, we look forward to business, some of it is mostly wholesale-based, and we look at the order book as the first indicator of what we'll be able to do in any given quarter. And we feel good about the order book matching our expectations. There is quite a bit still, maybe 20% of the business, that will be at once, either call orders or ASAP orders. And I think that's where the fluctuation could be depending on how early winter turns on and what the early seasonal demand is for the new product, but it's a confined amount of revenue for us. So I think those are the three factors for Black Diamond that give us confidence in the profit outlook for the Q4 and for the second half. I also think we're in a better inventory position overall [indiscernible] for those call orders and ASAP orders that do come in, our fill rates are considerably better this year than last year, should allow us to react to any upside in any given product line category or overall market trends?

Okay. I appreciate all the detail on the segments, guys. Maybe just one more, and then I'll turn it over, but just wanted to understand the latest from you guys and your perspective on the PFAS exposure. I guess we had another inventory reserve this quarter. That sort of doubles what we've done thus far, I guess. How much more of the exposure do we have left? Do we think we've kind of reserve for all of the exposure that we have? When does this fully get cleaned up? And how should we think about it?

So Matt, I'll take that. The – I think when we first brought this up here two calls ago, I mentioned I thought there was a $3 million to $5 million risk. I think the team has done an excellent job working through PFAS inventory, right? We do have – we've booked $1.5 million of reserves on the – and we have that on the books still. We are continuing to focus on that and work through PFAS inventory. It's – the criteria continues to change, and there are some exceptions we're able to take advantage of but our goal and our objective is to get rid of all this inventory by the end of the year. I think we have about $9 million of inventory left as of June 30 that we need to work through. And I know we've sold a good chunk of that here, [indiscernible] had a good chunk of that we sold. We sold a lot of PFAS packs here in the month of July, frankly. So we're continuing to work through it. I think I'll stick with my guidance from six months ago is I think we have a $3 million to $4 million exposure. So I could see us booking another $750,000 each quarter. But I don't think it's much more than that, I mean, with the objective of being through this and having most of this issue behind us by the end of the year.

Mike, if I could just add to that from qualitative standpoint in terms of execution. We've established a glide path for getting out of our PFAS inventory. We look at it every week and at the halfway point here we're actually a little bit ahead of our glide path schedule. So feeling like we got on this problem early. We moved through quite a bit of product last year, early this year. And while we've got some more work to go, we feel like we're on it. We're a little bit ahead of pace and should we continue on this pace, we'll end the year relatively clean and in that range of reserves that Mike talked about and be set up for margin expansion in 2025 as a result of the work we've done this year.

All right. Appreciate all the responses, guys. I will leave it here.

Thanks, Matt.

The next question comes from Anna Glaessgen from B. Riley. Please go ahead.

Hi. Good afternoon.

Hello.

Thanks for taking my questions.

Sure. Hello, Anna.

First, I'd like to touch on the state of the retail landscape in Outdoor. In the past, you've given us some perspective on the different subsegments that you break down, your retailers and your mass versus the national accounts. Could you give us an update on how those performed in the quarter?

Neil, do you want me to take that or – yes, sure. You take it.

Sure. So I would say, as a headline, we see the market continuing to stabilize, inventories coming more back in line with demand. But having said that, I don't think we're through it yet. We've still got another good six months, I think, before retailers are at the inventory levels they want and with the right composition of inventory that thereafter. And so that's a little bit of a drag still, a little bit of a headwind on the market overall. I would say when we look at specialty, the specialty segment overall is kind of holding its own to down low single digits, better than prior year, showing sequential improvement. Our retailers are still cautious about what the outlook is and making sure not to get over-inventoried and overbought again. So they're being quite tight on the first strings and forward orders. But I think as I look at the specialty business, the core of it seems pretty good to me and in pretty good shape. There are, at the margin, some of the weaker specialty players that have struggled for a little bit. And I think we might see a little bit of shakeout of small accounts in the market, but with the kind of multiyear pressure that's been in the market. But overall, we see specialty coming back and becoming healthy. And that remains a super important part for the industry and for our strategy as well. It's very much the top of our distribution pyramid. With regard to the big national accounts, notably REI has seen a little bit of the same story. They're both kind of digging out of the ditch from last year, still some softness there. But we're seeing sequential improvement. We're seeing inventories get back in line and in better balance. We…

Yes. That was super helpful. I guess it seems like retailers are still cautious, still working down probably some pockets of excesses, but you're not seeing kind of like the wild swings in order flow or sort of last-minute cancellations that were an issue probably more last year. Is that fair?

Much less. And there's still some, but I think it's abating at a steady pace.

Got it. And it seems to be that there's less of a delta between the specialty and mass or national accounts than in the past. Is that fair?

Probably less of a delta and maybe specialty has responded a little bit more quickly and has come through this more quickly than some of the big accounts. But – and so maybe they're a little bit ahead just in the recovery curve. But I think the delta is relatively small.

Okay. Great. Thanks so much. That’s for me.

The next question comes from Jim Duffy from Stifel. Please go ahead.

Hi. This is Peter on for Jim. Thanks for taking our questions. Mike, a question for you. The constrained consumer was recognized as a source of pressure for both the Outdoor and Adventure segments. Is this incremental to the prior outlook? And what are you baking into the second half outlook? I'm just curious if there's a consumer macro influence to the second half outlook.

No, our commentary about that is, hey, overall, the consumer and retail is being called out as being challenged and things are – the consumer is getting tighter and tighter. And I don't think that debatable, right? We've seen that, especially in the Outdoor when we look at our peer groups and other folks who've presented and then disclosed their earnings. Is it specifically baked into our outlook in some fashion? Not entirely, it's not, right? The numbers we're presenting here for the rest of the year are based on what we see our order book, where we have line of sight to here in the third quarter and what we know we have to on line of sight for fall/winter season that will ship in the – late in the third quarter into the fourth quarter. So I don't think there's a – we didn't discount any numbers because we think the consumer is tight based on what we're seeing specific to our business.

Okay. Thank you for that. Then switching, Mike, again, specific to your commentary on the Adventure business in the U.S. market and a potential for a bolt-on acquisition. Can you talk about where you want to add to the business, if there are any categories, channels or capabilities you're looking to add to bolster the existing business? And then a follow-up to that would be now that you've reached a net cash position, how are you thinking about sensitivity to the leverage profile?

Well, first, from an M&A standpoint...

Mike, do you want me to take that?

Sure. Go ahead. Go ahead, Warren.

Yes. Yes. Thanks. So I think the acquisitions that currently we're looking at in that space are modest and would fit really part of our – what we view as our product portfolio that we need to truly be successful in this market. And so I think our cash balances, as Mike talked about, we expect to be upwards of $70 million by the end of the year and any acquisition would be modest. So we would have quite a bit of cash still on our balance sheet, just to give you an order of magnitude. Not very big.

[Operator Instructions] The next question comes from Mark Smith from Lake Street Capital.

Hi, guys. A similar question here, just as we think about consumer trends domestically. Can you just speak to kind of what you're seeing in Europe or other markets kind of around the consumer? Any signs of improvement and how they're holding up today?

Well, I can start, but I'll let Neil and Mat add to it. Because I would say the North American consumer is probably holding up a little better. We're seeing that in our North American business at Outdoor. The D2C customer, right, they're probably looking for a promotion, right? The market's a lot of promotional activity still on websites for Outdoor product. The European customer from my perspective in talking with the team and the market conditions over in Europe, we've discussed internally that we think the European market is about six months behind – at a minimum six months behind the U.S. market. So we started seeing stabilization of the North American market here at the beginning of the year. So we're hopeful we see stabilization with the European consumer here in the back half or at some point in the back half of 2024 for the Outdoor consumer over in Europe. Mat, any comments on the consumer over in Australia or – that you'd like to add?

Yes. Thanks, Mike. Look, I think the best way of answering this is outside of ANZ, look, we've got a very robust brand in our home market. That's one of the luxuries we do have, and that strength sees us through a lot of ups and downs. One of the key indicators of performance, obviously, is auto sales, and it's been incredibly robust and continues to grow across our home market. As we look into Europe, the benefit we've got there is it's greenfields. We've had one primary partner there in Germany. And basically, the whole point of hiring Daniel is to go beyond that home distributor who's based in Germany and look at the opportunities across all of our three brands, Rhino-Rack, MAXTRAX and TRED and we are seeing those opportunities. And with Daniel's contacts, we're already looking into being able to go into Scandinavia, into other parts of France and Southern Europe. We've signed a new distributor called Dream Team in France to look after more markets here. So the confidence we have is that we haven't really started and made – there hasn't been too much focus in Europe. And those opportunities are rolling in. From an APAC point of view, we do have standing relationships with partners in China and Japan, and we just need to have more focus on that, and that's with the restructure with Chris Radford now taking on APAC. And there is a lot of inquiry and interest. Looking at the U.S. for us, again, we missed Q2 based on – that was internally inflicted, not consumer-based. There's a massive opportunity as we stand up new products. We're going into more of an ecosystem, as Warren mentioned earlier, that is not just our system, but more fit for more vehicles, more accessories and more of an activity-based marketing opportunity to go after people's lifestyles. And again, the – our key accounts are demanding a strong third player in the market to take on some of the incumbents. So we are pretty excited about the extra opportunities with our new products and our new partners there. And we're not seeing too many headwinds. It's more our ability to execute on our plan in H2 and beyond.

Sorry, Mike, I just...

Go ahead, Neil.

To your point, because you hit on something very important, which is I think consumers are out there still buying, but they're buying more promotional items. And as we've come through a period of a year or more of supply exceeding – supply exceeding demand and a very promotional market as players at all levels have tried to get their inventories in line, the reality is we've trained as an industry that the consumer to be more price-sensitive, deal-oriented. And I think we'll see a little bit of that still this year as – with people clearing through PFAS inventories. There are a lot of bargains out there for consumers right now. And so we just have to be a little bit mindful that there will be across the industry, I think, continued margin pressure this year. Should get much better next year as we get through the last bit of PFAS inventory overhang. But it is a price-sensitive consumer indicitaing they're a little bit fatigued. They're still buying, but they're looking for the deal.

Okay. And I think the last question for me just maybe if Mat wants to take it or somebody else, just as we think about kind of a squeezed North American or U.S. consumer, maybe hitting some stumbles out of the gates here on trying to roll out and improve the business or grow the business in the U.S. for Adventure. Is this something that's going to get pushed and really much more of a 2025 story rather than second half of this year, especially as we think about kind of the seasonality and when maybe consumers are buying these products?

Yes. Great question – sorry, Mike.

Go ahead. You answer that. But the short answer, I believe, is yes. Go ahead.

Short answer is yes, and we'll bake that in, again, giving Tripp time to get a feet under the desk. But the reality is we've launched some new products in the U.S. in April. So they did. We put in our flagship product globally, the Pioneer 6 trade. This is world-class. It's got over 90 accessories that comes with it. We launched in April. We weren't able to realize that with changes of management. And we exited the old partner early in Q2 when we brought in – Tripp in July. So we've got that sitting there waiting. We've got stock on hand. We've got an incredible marketing campaign ready to go. Same thing with our new accessories that we launched [indiscernible] boxes and tents that kind of complete that adventure opportunity standing up our new website that launches in September. We're about four months behind standing that up. So yes, we are seeing this more of an acceleration into 2025 but we'll bake that into our number. And we do want to make sure that we deliver on the rest of the year in the U.S., and we have bought that I guess, that projection down. But we do have expectations that we can realize some of that in H2.

Thank you.

This concludes our question-and-answer session. I'd like to turn the conference back over to Mike Yates for closing remarks.

Thank you. Thank you very much. I want to thank everyone for attending the call this afternoon and your continued support and interest in Clarus. We look forward to updating you on our results again next quarter. I appreciate your time. Take care.

The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
