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.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

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 Rhino-RackMAXTRAX Acquisition are subject to change and the final purchase price allocationallocations could be different from the amounts presented below. We expect to finalize the valuation of MAXTRAX as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the date of the Rhino-Rack Acquisition.acquisition. The fair value measurements for the acquisition of BarnesRhino-Rack have been completed. 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 Rhino-Rack segment and goodwill for Barnes is included in the SierraAdventure segment. The goodwill consists largely of the synergiesgrowth and profitability expected from combining operations of boththese acquisitions.

Although the Company is electing to treat the acquisition of Rhino-Rack as a purchase of assets for tax purposes, from an income tax perspective, there is no tax deduction provided for intangibles in Australia. As a result, deferred tax liabilities have been set up for the finite and indefinite-lived assets. From a capital base perspective, deferred tax assets established through purchase accounting have been fully offset by a corresponding valuation allowance. Furthermore, theThe full amount of goodwill of $85,127$15,199 for MAXTRAX and $78,347 for Rhino-Rack is expected to be non-deductible for tax purposes. No pre-existing relationships existed between the Company and theMAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack or their sellers prior to the acquisition. MAXTRAX and Rhino-Rack revenue and operating income are included in the Rhino-Rack segment. Total revenue of $19,625 and net income of $5,453 of Rhino-Rack were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2021.

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 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. No pre-existing relationships existed between the Company and the Barnes sellers prior to the acquisition. Barnes revenue and operating income were included in the SierraAdventure segment.

The following unaudited pro forma results are based on the individual historical results of the Company, Rhino-RackMAXTRAX and Barnes,Rhino-Rack, with adjustments to give effect as if the acquisitions and borrowings used to finance the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2020, for Rhino-Rack and January 1, 2019 for Barnes, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including the amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of fixed assets, interest expense and taxes and assumes the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of purchase.

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, 2022, the Company held commodity derivative contracts, with remaining maturities of less than one year, to mitigate the risk of commodity price fluctuations associated with raw material costs.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 rates of (419.0)% and (104.7)%20.3% for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% werewas due to a releasethe impact of valuation allowanceforeign tax credits. The difference between the Company’s estimated effective tax rates of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), which22.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% was partially offset bydue to the impact of foreign earnings taxed at applicable statutory rates and 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company filed a change in accounting method which increased taxable income and the ability to utilize NOLs. As a result, an additional valuation allowance of $6,003 was released increasing the income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. This method change resulted in decreasing the NOLs available to offset taxable income as of December 31, 2020 by $10,317.

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 in the U.S., or taxed in the U.S. as Subpart F income and will be offset with the NOLs.

NOLs available to offset taxable income, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Code, begin to expire based upon the following schedule:

Impact of COVID-19

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by each of the U.S., 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 economies, disrupted global supply chains, and resulted in significant transport restrictions and disruption of global financial markets. The impact of this global 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 decline in retail demand within our Black Diamond segment beginning in the second half of March 2020 through December 2020, which negatively impacted our sales and profitability during this period. This continued during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, although to a lesser extent, as certain countries began to ease restrictions. During the third quarter of 2021, the Australian government instituted a mandatory lockdown for its citizens. This caused a decline in retail demand and a disruption in operations within our Rhino-Rack segment, which negatively impacted our sales and profitability for the third quarter of 2021. We expect a continued impact on the Company’s sales and profitability in future periods. 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.

The 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 products.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 periodic delays in the delivery of our products.

We expect a continued impact on the Company’s sales and profitability in future periods due to the ongoing impact of the pandemic. The further spreadduration of COVID-19,these trends and the requirements to take action to help limitmagnitude 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 spreadyear ended December 31, 2021.

certain of our product development initiatives, as we were unable to visit certain third-party manufacturers to review processes and procedures for new products and product enhancements. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and financial results will depend on future developments, including the duration and severity of the outbreak (including the severity and transmission rates of new variants of the coronavirus) within the markets in which we and our manufacturers and suppliers operate, the timing, distribution, and efficacy of vaccines and other treatments, the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, and the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic, all of which are highly uncertain and ever-changing. While we have experienced an increase in demand for our products due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on consumer behaviors, including due to various stay-at-home orders and restrictions on dining options and restaurant closures, this increased demand may not be sustained following the pandemic, or if economic conditions worsen, which would negatively impact consumer spending.

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. As permitted by the CARES Act, we have deferred payment of the employer’s portion of social security payroll tax payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Management’s discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions including those related to derivatives, revenue recognition, income taxes and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

There was also driven by the inclusion of adventure products sold by Rhino-Rack of $19,625. We experienced an increase in the quantity of new and existing outdoor products sold during the period of $9,129. This was partially offset by a decrease in sales of $1,000$1,417 due to the weakeningstrengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, compared to the prior period.

Cost of Goods Sold

Consolidated cost of goods sold increased $26,970 or 63.0%, to $69,792 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to consolidated cost of goods sold of $42,822 during the three months ended September 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 $17,510 or 80.8%, to $39,179 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to consolidated gross profit of $21,669 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Consolidated gross margin was 36.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a consolidated gross margin of 33.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Consolidated gross margin during the three months ended September 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 and Rhino-Rack. However, the benefit from Rhino-Rack was offset by a decrease in gross margin of 2.8%$1,417 due to the sale of Rhino-Rack inventory that was recorded at its fair value in purchase accounting during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Selling, General and Administrative

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $12,640, or 67.7%, to $31,314 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $18,674 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the inclusion of Barnes and Rhino-Rack, which contributed $1,678 and $7,722, respectively. 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. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of stock compensation of $1,140 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the prior year.

Transaction Costs

Consolidated transaction expense increased to $8,147 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to consolidated transaction costs of $1,440 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, which consisted of expenses related to the Company’s various acquisition efforts.

Interest Expense, net

Consolidated interest expense, net increased to $1,476 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to consolidated interest expense, net of $232 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in interest expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily associated with the increase in average outstanding debt amounts during the period compared to the prior year and the recording of certain debt issuance costs.

Other, net

Consolidated other, net income changed by $111, or 24.7%, to $338 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to consolidated other, net income of $449 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in other, net, was primarily attributable to a decrease in remeasurement gains recognized on the Company’s foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. The decrease was partially offset by changes on mark-to-market adjustments on non-hedged foreign currency contracts.

Income Taxes

Consolidated income tax changed by $6,539, or 1,110.2%, to a benefit of $5,950 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to income tax expense of $589 during the same period in 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our effective income tax rate was a benefit of 26.2% and was higher compared to the statutory tax rates due to permanent book to tax differences primarily related to incentive stock options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Condensed Consolidated Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Condensed Consolidated Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Our primary ongoing funding requirements are for working capital, expansion of our operations (both organically and through acquisitions) and general corporate needs, as well as investing activities associated with the expansion into new product categories. We plan to fund these activities through a combination of our future operating cash flows and revolving credit facility which had approximately $34,600 available to borrow at September 30, 2021. We believe that our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months will be adequately covered by cash provided by operations and our existing revolving credit facility. However, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the U.S., European, Australian and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, and resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions and disruption of financial markets. 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 the 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.

Further, 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 Agreement”). The Credit Agreement increased the aggregate amount of the term loan facility thereunder to $125,000 and increased the maximum amount of the revolving loan facility thereunder to $100,000. The term loan facility was fully borrowed at the closing of Amendment No. 3 on July 1, 2021. The Company is required to repay the term loan through quarterly payments of $1,563 each beginning with September 30, 2021, increasing to $3,125 beginning SeptemberJune 30, 2022, and any remaining obligations will be repaid in full on the maturity date of the Credit Agreement of May 3, 2024. Amendment No. 3 also removed the previously agreed upon ability of the Company to issue debt securities that may be convertible into equity interests of the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000 and also increased the maximum consolidated total leverage ratio permitted under the Credit Agreement to 4.25:1.00.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement relating to the public offer and sale of 2,750 shares of the Company’s common stock as well as a 30-day option to purchase up to 413 additional shares of common stock. The closing of the offering of 2,750 shares of common stock as well as the 413 additional shares of common stock occurred on October 29, 2021 and November 2, 2021, respectively. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $80,264 before expenses and after deducting the applicable underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering for the repayment in full of approximately $65,000 in aggregate principal amount under the revolving loan facility available pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the remaining portion of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and potential acquisitions.

At September 30, 2021, we had total cash of $10,170, compared to a cash balance of $17,789 at December 31, 2020, which was substantially controlled by the Company’s U.S. entities. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $4,888 of the $10,170 in cash held by foreign entities, of which $2,995 is considered permanently reinvested.

to a benefit of $211 during the same period in 2021. Our effective income tax rate was 22.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and differed compared to the statutory tax rates due to the impact of foreign earnings taxed at applicable statutory rates and permanent book to tax differences related to incentive stock options and officer compensation limitations. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our effective income tax rate was a benefit of 2.9% 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.

We plan to fund these activities through a combination of our future operating cash flows and revolving credit facility which had approximately $274,528 available to borrow at June 30, 2022. We believe that our liquidity requirements and contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months will be adequately covered by cash provided by operations and our existing revolving credit facility.

For additional information regarding the Company’s existing credit facilities, see the section titled “Credit Agreement” below.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Executive Chairman and Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, were effective.

On July 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Australia-based Rhino-Rack Holdings Pty Ltd (“Rhino-Rack”). On December 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Australia-based MaxTrax Australia Pty Ltd (“MAXTRAX”).

Except as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.
