Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates relate to the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations, excess or obsolete inventory, allowance for credit losses, and doubtful accounts,contingent consideration liabilities, and valuation of deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, projected future cash flows, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to facilitate the market transition from existing reference rates, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which is being phased out in 2021, to alternate reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The standard is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. The provisions have impact as contract modifications and other changes occur while LIBOR is phased out. The Company is in the process of evaluating the optional relief guidance provided within this ASU. Management will continue its assessmentto evaluate the impact of the adoption and monitor regulatory developments duringimplementation of this standard, but currently management does not believe that the impact of transitioning from LIBOR transition period.to SOFR will have a material effect on the interest rates of the company.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

BarnesMAXTRAX

On September 30, 2020, SierraNovember 26, 2021, Clarus entered into an Asseta Share and Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Barnes Asset“MAXTRAX Purchase Agreement”) with Remington Outdoor Company, Inc.to acquire Australia-based MaxTrax Australia Pty Ltd (“MAXTRAX”), which subsequently closed on December 1, 2021. All United States dollar amounts contained herein are based on the exchange rates in effect for Australian dollars ($AUD) and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Seller”), pursuant to which Sierra agreed to (i) acquire certain assetsthe market value of the Seller constitutingCompany’s common stock at the Barnes business (“Barnes”), including equipment, inventory, intellectual property (including exclusive usetime of Barnes’ intellectual property in the all-copper and powdered metallurgy ammunition fields as well as its trademarks) and a leasehold interest in certain real property located in Mona, Utah (collectively, the “Barnes Purchased Assets”) and (ii) assume certain liabilities related to the Barnes Purchased Assets in a transaction to be effected in Seller’s bankruptcy proceeding under Chapter 11closing of title 11 of the United States Code, §§ 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) which commenced on July 27, 2020 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Alabama (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Pursuant to the Barnes Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase price to be paid for the Barnes Purchased Assets is $30,500 (the “Barnes Purchase Price”). On October 2, 2020, Sierra completed the acquisition of MAXTRAX (the “MAXTRAX Acquisition”).

The Company acquired MAXTRAX for an aggregate purchase price of $AUD 49,744 (approximately $35,475), subject to a post-closing adjustment, comprised of $AUD 37,551 (approximately $26,780) cash, 107 shares of the Barnes Purchased Assets. Company’s common stock valued at $2,594, and additional consideration described below. The MAXTRAX Purchase Agreement also provides for the payment of additional consideration in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $AUD 6,250 (approximately $4,457) split equally on June 30, 2022 and 2023. The MAXTRAX Purchase Agreement provides for the payment of additional contingent consideration up to $AUD 6,250 (approximately $4,457) in cash if certain future net sales thresholds are met during 2022 and 2023 (the “MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration to be $AUD 2,307 (approximately $1,644) and has recorded this liability within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

Rhino-Rack

On May 30, 2021, Clarus entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire Australia-based Rhino-Rack Holdings Pty Ltd (“Rhino-Rack”), which subsequently closed on July 1, 2021. All United States dollar amounts contained herein are based on the exchange rates in effect for Australian dollars ($AUD) and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of closing of the acquisition of Rhino-Rack (the “Rhino-Rack Acquisition”).

The Company acquired Rhino-Rack for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $AUD 269,696 (approximately $202,488), subject to a post-closing adjustment, comprised of approximately $AUD 191,249 (approximately $143,590) cash, 2,315 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $55,333, and additional contingent consideration described below. The Purchase Agreement also provides for the payment of additional contingent consideration up to approximately $AUD 10,000 (approximately $7,508) if certain future net sales thresholds are met (the “Rhino-Rack Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the Rhino-Rack Contingent Consideration to be approximately $AUD 4,747 (approximately $3,565) and has recorded this liability within accrued liabilities. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The Company believes the acquisitionacquisitions of Barnes isMAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack are expected to provide the Company with a greater combined global revenue base, increased gross margins, profitability and free cash flows, and access to increased liquidity to further seek to acquire and grow businesses.

The following table is a reconciliation to the fair value of the purchase consideration and how the purchase consideration is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed which have been estimated at their fair values. The fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation for MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack are based on the Company’s best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary. Since our initial purchase price allocation for the MAXTRAX acquisition, we have increased the fair value of accrued liabilities assumed and goodwill by $741. These adjustments were made after receiving certain information, which existed as of the date of acquisition, related to the fair value of assumed liabilities and such amounts were recorded during the first quarter of 2022. The fair value measurements of identifiable assets and liabilities, and the resulting goodwill related to the MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack Acquisitions are subject to change and the final purchase price allocations could be different from the amounts presented below. We expect to finalize the valuations as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the date of the acquisitions. The excess of purchase consideration over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill for MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack is included in the Adventure segment. The goodwill consists largely of the growth and profitability expected from these acquisitions.

The goodwill consists largely of the synergies expected from combining operations. The acquisition of Barnes is treated as a purchase of assets for tax purposes. As such, the basis in the assets of Barnes is equal for both book and tax, which results in no initial recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities. Furthermore, the full amount of goodwill recorded of $8,625$15,199 for MAXTRAX and $78,347 for Rhino-Rack is expected to be deductiblenon-deductible for tax purposes. No pre-existing relationships existed between the Company and the SellersMAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack or their sellers prior to the acquisition.

NOTE 7.8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s primary exchange rate risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily focuses on mitigating changes in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company manages this risk primarily by using currency forward and option contracts. If the anticipated transactions are deemed probable, the resulting relationships are formally designated as cash flow hedges. The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the expected cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the expected cash flow of the hedged item.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company held currency forward contracts to mitigate currency fluctuations related to the cash purchase price of Rhino-Rack totaling AUD 193,650 with a maturity date of July 1, 2021. These contracts are not designated as accounting hedges and the changes in fair value of the instruments are recognized in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, losses of $(4,513) were recorded in other, net expense.

At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company’s derivative contracts had remaining maturities of less than one year. The counterparties to these transactions had both long-term and short-term investment grade credit ratings. The maximum net exposure of the Company’s credit risk to the counterparties is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized loss of all contracts with that counterparty, which is $4,684 as of June 30, 2021.counterparty. At March 31, 2022, there was no such exposure to the counterparties. The Company’s exposure of counterparty credit risk is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain of $534 on all contracts. At June 30, 2021, there was no such exposure to the counterparties.contracts at March 31, 2022. The Company’s derivative counterparties have strong credit ratings and as a result, the Company does not require collateral to facilitate transactions.

NOTE 9.10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are

observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 were as follows:

measurements existed at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021.  

The Company estimated the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities using a series of call options. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation include discount rates ranging from 4.8% to 8.0%. Contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured at the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in contingent consideration expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for such period. We measure the initial liability and remeasure the liability on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

The following table summarizes the changes in contingent consideration liabilities:

As the contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period, significant increases or decreases in projected sales, discount rates or the time until payment is made would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Our determination of fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities could change in future periods based on our ongoing evaluation of these significant unobservable inputs.

NOTE 11.12. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive to the loss from continuing operations.

The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share:

NOTE 12.13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the Company’s current 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the Company’s Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2015 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted units. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted through awards under the 2015 Plan to any employee in any calendar year may not exceed 500 shares. The 2015 Plan will continue in effect until December 2025 unless terminated sooner. 

Options Granted:

During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company issued stock options for an aggregate of 500353 shares under the 2015 Plan to directors and employees of the Company. TheOf the 353 options, issued during the six months ended June 30, 2021 generally343 vest and become exercisable over a period of one to three years, and the remaining 10 vest immediately. All of the issued stock options expire ten years from the date of the grant.

For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Using these assumptions, the fair value of the market condition restricted stock awards granted on May 28, 2021March 4, 2022, was approximately $7,230.$10,761 and the expected term was 4.15 years.

The total non-cash stock compensation expense related to restricted stock, stock options and stock awards recorded by the Company for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $3,367 and 2020 was $1,826 and $616, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $3,350 and $1,229,$1,524, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, the majority of stock-based compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.

As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there were 2,1431,701 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $8,508$7,904 related to unvested stock options, as well as 1,0001,546 unvested restricted stock awards and unrecognized compensation costs of $8,300$13,083 related to unvested restricted stock awards.

 

NOTE 13.14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company faces the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods. The Company is therefore vulnerable to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to its products and incidental to its business.

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There is a reasonable possibility of loss from contingencies in excess of the amounts accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, the actual amounts of such possible losses cannot currently be reasonably estimated by the Company at this time. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a different effect.

 

 

NOTE 14.15. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and its foreign operations that are considered to be permanently reinvested have statutory tax rates of approximately 25%. in Austria, 28% in New Zealand, and 30% in Australia.

The differencesdifference between the Company’s estimated effective tax ratesrate of 7.8% and (2.9)%23.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022, and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% were due to a releasethe impact of valuation allowance for the current year expected utilization

of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”)foreign earnings taxed at applicable statutory rates and a stock compensation tax windfall, which were partially offset by permanent book to tax differences related to incentive stock options and officer compensation limitations.

As of December 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $40,538.$38,184. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $22,348,$4,378, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $18,190,$33,806, before deferred tax liabilities of $8,304.$46,653. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, because the ultimate realization of those assets did not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria. The majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of NOLs for federal tax purposes. If a change in control were to occur, these could be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and net operating loss and credit carryforwards expire. The estimates and judgments associated with the Company’s valuation allowance on deferred tax assets are considered critical due to the amount of deferred tax assets recorded by the Company on its consolidated balance sheet and the judgment required in determining the Company’s future taxable income. The need for a valuation allowance is reassessed at each interim reporting period.

As of December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had NOLs and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $120,309$60,712 and $1,889,$2,289, respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal NOLs will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes until expiration. The majority of the Company’s pre-tax income is currently earned and expected to be earned

NOTE 16.17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Rhino-Rack AcquisitionDebt

On May 30, 2021, Oscar Aluminium Pty LtdApril 18, 2022 (the “Buyer”“Effective Date”), an indirect wholly-owned Australian subsidiary of the Company entered into a Share Salean Amended and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire Rhino-Rack, a leading manufacturer of highly-engineered automotive roof racks, trays, mounting systems, luggage boxes, carriers, and accessories. On July 1, 2021, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement were consummated. All United States dollar amounts contained herein are based on the exchange rates in effect for Australian dollars ($AUD) and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of closing of the acquisition of Rhino-Rack (the “Rhino-Rack Acquisition”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, by and among the Buyer, the Company, Cropley Nominees Pty Ltd (the “Seller”), Richard Cropley, Hugh Cropley and Oliver Cropley, the Buyer acquired Rhino-Rack for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $AUD 273,000 (approximately $205,000), subject to post-closing adjustment. The purchase price consideration was comprised of approximately $AUD 194,000 (approximately $145,000) cash and 2,315,121 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Purchase Agreement also provides for the payment to the Seller of additional consideration of approximately $AUD 10,000 (approximately $8,000) if certain future net sales thresholds are met. The shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Seller are subject to a lock-up agreement restricting sales for 180 days from the closing of the Rhino-Rack Acquisition.

Based upon the timing of the Rhino-Rack Acquisition, the initial accounting is not yet complete as the Company gathers additional information related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of certain intangible assets. The preliminary application of acquisition accounting to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the results of operations of Rhino-Rack, will first be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial results as of and for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2021. The operating results of Rhino-Rack are expected to be included within a new segment called Rhino-Rack. Acquisition-related costs for the Rhino-Rack Acquisition, which were included in transaction costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $777.

Additionally, on July 1, 2021, the Company recorded a liability in the amount of $1,750 owed to Kanders & Company, Inc. (“Kanders & Company”) in consideration of the significant support received by the Company from Kanders & Company in sourcing, structuring, performing due diligence and negotiating the Rhino-Rack Acquisition.  Mr. Warren B. Kanders, the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, is a member of the Board of Directors and sole stockholder of Kanders & Company.

Restated Credit Agreement

In connection with, among other things, partially funding the Rhino-Rack Acquisition, on July 1, 2021, the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (each, a “Loan Party” and, collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to that certain Credit Agreement, dated May 3, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated May 28, 2019 and Amendment No. 2 dated November 12, 2020, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Credit (the “Restated Credit Agreement”).

Impact of COVID-19

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by each of the U.S. government, European, and Australian governments in March 2020, with governments world-wide implementing safety measures restricting travel and requiring citizen lockdowns and self-confinements for quarantining purposes. This has negatively affected the U.S., European, Australian and global economy,economies, disrupted global supply chains, and resulted in significant transport restrictions and disruption of global financial markets. The impact of this pandemic has created significant uncertainty in the global economy and has affected our business, employees, retail and distribution partners, suppliers, and customers.

We experienced a declineThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global supply chain, with restrictions and limitations on related activities causing disruption and delay, along with increased raw material, storage, and shipping costs. These disruptions and delays have strained domestic and international supply chains, which have affected and could continue to negatively affect the flow or availability of certain critical raw materials and finished good products that the Company relies upon. Furthermore, significantly increased demand from online sales channels, including our website, has impacted our logistical operations, including our fulfillment and shipping functions, which has resulted in retail demand within our Black Diamond segment beginningperiodic delays in the second halfdelivery of March 2020 through December 2020, which negatively impacted our sales and profitability during this period. This continued during the six months ended June 30, 2021, although to a lesser extent, as certain countries began to ease restrictions. products.

We expect a continued impact on the Company’s sales and profitability in future periods.periods due to the ongoing impact of the pandemic. The duration of these trends and the magnitude of such impacts cannot be precisely estimated at this time, as they are affected by a number of factors (some of which are outside management’s control), including those presented in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have mitigated some of the negative impacts to our operating results by taking significant actions to improve our current operating results and liquidity position, including drawing on the credit facility, temporarily suspending share repurchases, temporarily suspending cash dividends, postponing non-essential capital expenditures, reducing operating costs, modulating production in line with demand, and substantially reducing discretionary spending. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess the impact on the Company and respond accordingly.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act established a program with provisions to allow U.S. companies to defer the employer’s portion of social security taxes between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020 and pay such taxes in two installments in 2021 and 2022.

Cost of Goods Sold

Consolidated cost of goods sold increased $39,148 or 71.9%, to $93,569 during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to consolidated cost of goods sold of $54,421 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of units sold.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $25,923 or 88.9%, to $55,071 during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to consolidated gross profit of $29,148 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Consolidated gross margin was 37.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a consolidated gross margin of 34.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Consolidated gross margin during the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased compared to the prior year due to a favorable product mix in higher margin products and the favorable impacts related to foreign currency. Gross margin also benefited from the inclusion of Barnes; however, this benefit was offset by a decrease in gross margin of 0.2% due to the sale of Barnes inventory that was recorded at its fair value in purchase accounting during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $9,726, or 30.5%, to $41,589 during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $31,863 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the inclusion of Barnes, which contributed $3,330, and an increase of stock compensation of $2,121 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year. The remaining increase was attributable to the Company’s investments in the brand related activities of sales, direct-to-consumer, marketing, and warehousing and logistics, focused on supporting its strategic initiatives around expanding distribution, elevating brand awareness and being easier to do business with.

Transaction Costs

Consolidated transaction expense increased to $1,125 during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to consolidated transaction costs of $430 during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which consisted of expenses related to the Company’s various acquisition efforts.

The decrease in other, net, was primarily attributable to changes on mark-to-market adjustments on non-hedged foreign currency contracts, including contracts associated with the purchase price of Rhino Rack. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in remeasurement losses recognized on the Company’s foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable.

Income Taxes

Consolidated income tax benefit decreased $920, or 81.3%, to a benefit of $211 during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to income tax benefit of $1,131 during the same period in 2020. Ourour effective income tax rate was a benefit of 2.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021,(6.9%) and differed compared to the statutory tax rates due to a release of a partial valuation allowance of the deferred tax assets and a discrete charge recorded during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our effective income tax rate was a benefit of 29.5% and was higher compared to the statutory tax rates due to permanent book to tax differences primarily related to incentive stock options.

An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, ability to meet debt covenants, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition. Given the economic uncertainty as a result of the pandemic, we have taken actions to improve our current liquidity position, including drawing on theexisting credit facility, suspending share repurchases and cash dividends, postponing nonessential capital expenditures, reducing operating costs, modulating production in line with demand, initiating workforce reductions and furloughs, and substantially reducing discretionary spending.facilities.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions, which legal fees are expensed as incurred. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. There is a reasonable possibility of loss from contingencies in excess of the amounts accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, the actual amounts of such possible losses cannot currently be reasonably estimated by the Company at this time. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a different effect.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company faces the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods. The Company is therefore vulnerable to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to its products and incidental to its business.

Based on current information, there are no pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, which the Company believes in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
