Seasonality
Earnings of certain of our operating segments are seasonal in nature due to various recurring events, holidays and seasonal weather patterns, as well as the timing of our acquisitions during a given year. Historically, the third and fourth quarters produce the highest net sales during our fiscal year.
Changeyear, however, due to various acquisitions since 2020, there is generally less seasonality in Tax Status Election
Effective September 1, 2021 (the "Effective Date"), the Trust elected to be treated asour net sales on a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Prior to the Effective Date, the Trust was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Trust’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction flowed through from the Trust to the shareholders, and the Trust shareholders were subject to income taxes on their allocable share of the Trust’s income and gain. After the Effective Date, the Trust is taxed as a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax at the Trust level, but items of income, gain, loss and deduction will not flow through to Trust shareholders. Trust shareholders will no longer receive an IRS Schedule K-1. After the Effective Date, distributions from the Trust will be treated as dividends to the extent the Trustconsolidated basis than there has accumulated or current earnings and profits. If the Trust does not have current or accumulated earnings and profits available for distribution, then the distribution will be treated as a return of capital and reduce Trust shareholders’ basis in their shares.
Prior to the Effective Date, each of the LLC’s majority owned subsidiaries were treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The election did not change the tax status of any LLC subsidiary, and each majority owned LLC subsidiary is still treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
After the Effective Date, the Trust will no longer be taxed as a pass through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Trust will no longer issue Schedule K-1’s, nor will Trust shareholders be allocated any pass through income, loss, expense, deduction or credit (including “UBIT”) from the Trust.been historically.
Note B — Acquisitions
The acquisitions of our businesses are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. For each platform acquisition, the Company typically structures the transaction so that a newly created holding company acquires 100% of the equity interests in the acquired business. The entirety of the purchase consideration is paid by the newly created holding company to the selling shareholders. The total purchase consideration is the amount paid to the selling shareholders and we will, from time to time, allow the selling shareholder to reinvest a portion of their proceeds alongside the Company at the same price per share, into the holding company that acquires the target business. Once the acquisition is complete, the selling shareholders no longer hold equity interests in the acquired company, but rather hold noncontrolling interest in the holding company that acquired the target business. Because the selling shareholders are investing in the transaction alongside the Company at the same price per share as the Company and are not retaining their existing equity in the acquired business, the Company includes the amount provided by noncontrolling shareholders in the total purchase consideration.
A component of our acquisition financing strategy that we utilize in acquiring the businesses we own and manage is to provide both equity capital and debt capital, raised at the parent level, typically through our existing credit facility. The debt capital is in the form of “intercompany loans” made by the LLC to the newly created holding company and the acquired business and are due from the newly created holding company and the acquired business, and payable to the LLC by the newly created holding company and the acquired business. The selling shareholders of the acquired businesses are not a party to the intercompany loan agreements nor do they have any obligation to repay the intercompany loans. These intercompany loans eliminate in consolidation and are not reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities are valued at historical carrying values. Inventory is recognized at fair value, with finished goods stated at selling price less an estimated cost to sell. Property, plant and equipment is valued through a purchase price appraisalat fair value which approximates book value and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives of the assets. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The goodwill of $86.3291.1 million reflects the strategic fit of LuganoPrimaLoft in the Company's branded consumer business and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The PrimaLoft purchase price allocation was finalized in the first quarter of 2023.

Note G — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As a result of acquisitions of various businesses, the Company has significant intangible assets on its balance sheet that include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested and reviewed for impairment annually as of March 31st or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Each of the Company’s businesses represent a reporting unit.
Goodwill
2022 Annual Impairment Testing
The Company uses a qualitative approach to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative goodwill impairment testing. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value.
20212023 Annual Impairment Testing
The Company uses a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative goodwill impairment testing. We determined that the ArnoldVelocity reporting unit required additional quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. For the reporting units that were tested only on a qualitative basis for the 20212023 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying value of these reporting units.
22


The quantitative test of ArnoldVelocity was performed using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The discount rate used in the income approachapproach was 13.0%15% and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the ArnoldVelocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 272%21%.
2022 Annual Impairment Testing
The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value for the 2022 annual impairment testing.
Interim Impairment Testing
2022 Interim Impairment Testing
AErgobaby - The Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing at Ergobaby of goodwill and the indefinite lived tradename at December 31, 2022. As a result of operating results that were below historical and forecast amounts, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred at Ergobaby. The Company used an income approach for the impairment test, whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins, and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The Company used a weighted average cost of capital of 16% in the income approach. The discount rate used was based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business specific characteristics and Ergobaby's ability to execute on projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of Ergobaby did not exceed its carrying value. We recorded goodwill
21


impairment of $20.6 million at December 31, 2022. For the indefinite lived tradename, quantitative testing indicated that the fair value exceeded the carrying value.

Long lived assets
Annual indefinite lived impairment testing
The Company used a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. The Company evaluated the qualitative factors of each indefinite lived intangible asset in connection with the annual impairment testing for 20222023 and 2021.2022. Results of the qualitative analysis indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units that maintain indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded the carrying value.

(1) This distribution was     declared on April 1, 2022.
(2) On August 3, 2021, in order to offset a portion of the tax liability to the shareholders as a result of the election to cause the Trust to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company's Board of Directors declared a special cash distribution on the Trust’s common shares. A distribution of $57.1 million was made on August 31, 2021 to Trust common shareholders. Beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.25 per share, which was reduced from $0.36 per share in prior periods to reflect the effect of the Trust being taxed as a corporation.2023.

Note M — Income taxes
Effective September 1, 2021, the LLC’s parent (i.e., the Trust) elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S federal income tax purposes. Prior to September 1, 2021, the Company’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction flowed through to owners of the Trust without being subject to income taxes at the Trust level. Consequently, the Company’s earnings did not reflect a provision for income taxes except those for foreign, state, city and local income taxes incurred at the entity level. From and after September 1, 2021, the Trust will be subject to entity-level U.S. federal, state, and local corporate income taxes on the Company’s earnings that flow through to the Trust.
32


However, the Trust itself will no longer be taxed as a flow through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Trust shareholders will no longer receive Schedule K-1’s, nor will Trust shareholders be allocated any pass through income, loss, deduction, expense, or credit (including “UBIT”) from the Trust.
The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate each fiscal quarter and applies that estimated rate to its interim pre-tax earnings. In this regard, the Company reflects the full year’s estimated tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items and the effects of changes in tax laws or rates in the interim period in which they occur.
The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate for each interim period requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment, including with respect to the projected operating income for the year, projections of income earned and taxes incurred in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained, as our tax structure changes or as the tax laws change. Certain foreign operations are subject to foreign income taxation under existing provisions of the laws of those jurisdictions.

The reconciliation between the Federal Statutory Rate and the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 20212022 is as follows:

Note N — Defined Benefit Plan
In connection with the acquisition of Arnold, the company has a defined benefit plan covering substantially all of Arnold’s employees at its Lupfig, Switzerland location. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ highest average compensation during the specific period.
The unfunded liability of $1.9$1.8 million is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of other non-current liabilities at March 31, 2022.2023. Net periodic benefit cost consists of the following for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 20212022 (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 20222023, per the terms of the pension agreement, Arnold contributed $0.1 million to the plan. For the remainder of 2022,2023, the expected contribution to the plan will be approximately $0.2$0.3 million.
The plan assets are pooled with assets of other participating employers and are not separable; therefore, the fair values of the pension plan assets at March 31, 20222023 were considered Level 3.
Note O - Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters has yet to be determined, the Company does not believe that any unfavorable outcomes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Leases
The Company and its subsidiaries lease office and manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office facilities, retail stores,computer equipment and vehiclessoftware under various operating arrangements. Certain of the leases are subject to escalation clauses and renewal periods. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize lease expense, including predetermined fixed escalations, on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease including reasonably assured renewal periods from the time that the Company and
33


its subsidiaries control the leased property. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our subsidiaries have leases that contain both fixed rent costs and variable rent costs based on achievement of certain operating metrics. The variable lease expense was not a material component of our total lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The Company recognized $10.4$12.3 million and $8.6$10.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and March 31, 2021,2022, respectively, in expense related to operating leases in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The calculated amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the company's discretion. In general, it is not reasonably certain that lease renewals will be exercised at lease commencement and therefore lease renewals are not included
34


in the lease term. RegardingAs the discount rate, lease accounting guidance requires the use of a rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate of the subsidiary entering into the lease arrangement, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term as adjusted for any country specific risk.
The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of our operating leases were as follows:

We categorize theour subsidiary businesses we own into two separate groups of businesses: (i) branded consumer businesses, and (ii) niche industrial businesses. Branded consumer businesses are characterized as those businesses that we believe capitalize on a valuable brand name in their respective market sector. We believe that our branded consumer businesses are leaders in their particular product category. Niche industrial businesses are characterized as those businesses that focus on manufacturing and selling particular products and industrial services within a specific market sector. We believe that our niche industrial businesses are leaders in their specific market sector. We recently announced the launch of our healthcare effort as our third grouping of companies.

Significant Trends Impacting Our Subsidiary Businesses
COVID-19 Update
The continued spread of COVID-19 and new variants of the virus around the world continue to present significant risks to our business. The economic and health conditions in the United States and across most of the globe have continued to change since the beginning of the pandemic and the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, the emergence of variants of the virus and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are highly uncertain and difficult to accurately predict. The public health situation, global response measures and corresponding impacts on various markets remain fluid and uncertain. The health of our team and various stakeholders is our highest priority, and we have taken multiple steps to provide support and a safe work environment. The Company anticipates that COVID-19 will continue to impact the results of operations, including a potential decrease in gross margins, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA at certain of our businesses during 2022.
The following are two significant trends resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that we anticipate may negatively impact our operating performance in 2022:Macroeconomic Trends
Global Supply Chain Trends
The disruption in themacroeconomic environment continues to remain dynamic as global supply chain due to transportation delays and U.S. port congestion have continued in the first quarter of 2022 and are expected to continue to place constraints on several of our businesses. Surges in demand, shifts in shopping patterns related to COVID-19, and the resurgence of COVID-19 variants in manufacturing hubs, as well as other factors, have continued to strain the global supply chain network, which has resulted in carrier-imposed capacity restrictions, carrier delays, and longer lead times. U.S. ports that have been unable to keep pace with unprecedented inbound container volume, which has led to shipping and unloading backlogs, and ports in Asia have been subject to intermittent closures due to the impact of COVID-19 variants. Due to the backlog at the ports and other supply chain disruptions, most of our businesses are experiencing shortages in materials and products, and significant increases in freight costs. Many of our companies are relying on expensive air freight to import goods to meet customer demand. We are also seeing the availability of raw materials, components and finished goods impacted by the supply chain challenges which has led to shortages of certain materials and led to pressure on revenue growth. In addition, the closure of certain Asian manufacturing facilities as a result of local government quarantine efforts has impacted our ability to import products timely. Further, in the U.S., the surge in demand along with COVID-19 related labor shortagesmacroeconomic trends, including inflationary pressures and rising hourly labor wages,interest rates, are creating labor shortagesweakening consumer sentiment and higher labor costs.negatively impacting consumer spending behavior. We expect these cost trends to continue through 2022.
39


Inflationary Cost Environment
We continue to experienced inflationary cost increases in our materials, labor and transportation costs. We expect that these inflationary cost increases will continue but will be partially mitigated by pricing actions implemented in the prior year, as well as those that we plan to implement in 2022. In 2022, we expect changing market conditions and continued inflationary pressures to impact consumer spending.g, particularly for discretionary items purchased by low and middle income consumers. With price pressures unlikely to abate and expected changes in monetary policies, we expect consumer spending mayto be negatively impacted during 2023. We continue to experience modest inflationary cost increases in our materials, labor and transportation costs, although transportation costs have normalized after reaching a peak in the first half of 2022.We took numerous actions during 2022 to build capacity as well as increase our supply chain related resources, including increasing inventory levels and investing in automated systems to increase production efficiency. We are experiencing continued uncertainty in our business and the global economy due to inflation, changes in consumer spending patterns, and global supply chain disruptions. Accordingly, our liquidity and financial results could be impacted in ways that we are not able to predict today.
Business Outlook
The Company anticipates that the areas of focus for 2022,2023, which are generally applicable to each of our businesses, include:
Pursuing sales growth through a combination of new product development, increasing distribution, new customer acquisitions and international expansion;
Raising prices, when appropriate, on our goods due to rising input costs to preserve operating margins,margins;
Taking market share, where possible, in each of our niche market leading companies, generally at the expense of less well capitalized competitors;
Striving for excellence in supply chain management, manufacturing and technological capabilities;
Continuing to pursue expense reduction and cost savings in lower margin business lines or in response to lower production volume;
Continuing to pursue growthgrow through disciplined, strategic acquisitions and rigorous integration processes; and
Working to driveDriving free cash flow through increased net income and effective working capital management, enabling continued investment in our businesses.

Net revenues
Consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 increased by approximately $102.0$31.7 million, or 25.0%6.2%, compared to the corresponding period in 2021.2022. Our LuganoPrimaLoft business, which we acquired in September 2021,July 2022, contributed $47.0$24.5 million in net revenue into the first quarter of 2022.increase. During the three months ended March 31, 20222023 compared to 2021,2022, we also saw significant increases in net sales at 5.11 ($4.120.4 million increase), BOA ($20.4 million), Marucci ($15.46.2 million increase), ArnoldLugano ($5.716.9 million increase), Ergobaby ($2.2 million increase) and Altor SolutionsArnold ($26.01.9 million increase), partially offset by a decrease in net revenue at BOA ($18.8 million decrease), Velocity Outdoor ($14.217.4 million decrease). Add-on acquisitions at Marucci (Lizard Skins in October 2021), Altor (Plymouth Foam in October 2021)Solutions ($2.3 million decrease) and Arnold (Ramco Motors in March 2021) contributed to the growth in revenue at these businesses in the first quarter of 2022. During the comparable period in 2021, we saw notable increases in revenue at several of our branded consumer businesses as a result of an increased consumer focus on outdoor related brands during the pandemic. Historically, the third and fourth quarters have been seasonably stronger than the first half of the year in earnings for certain of our businesses. However, in the first quarter of 2021 several of our businesses saw significant revenue growth due to unfulfilled orders from the fourth quarter of 2020 being fulfilled in the first quarter of 2021.Further, we believe

domestic government stimulus boosted spending in the first quarter of 2021 that did not repeat in the first quarter of 2022.Notwithstanding this significant demand increase we experienced in the first quarter of 2021, on a consolidated level our businesses were able to increase revenue in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior year as a result of acquisitions and continued strong performance. We expect our 2022 results of operations will be negatively impacted as inflationary pressures will impact demand and discretionary consumer spending both our branded consumer and niche industrial businesses and as the world economy continues to face supply chain constraints which we believe will lead to product fulfillment delays and resulting increased inventory acquisition costs. We expect revenue to be impacted by product and material availability through the first half of 2022.Sterno ($1.9 million decrease).

Cost of revenues
On a consolidated basis, cost of revenues increaseddecreased approximately $69.7$5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 20222023 compared to the corresponding period in 2021.2022. We saw notable decreases in cost of revenues at BOA ($5.9 million decrease), Velocity ($12.0 million decrease), Altor ($4.9 million decrease), and Sterno ($4.0 million decrease) that corresponded to the decrease in revenue noted above. Our LuganoMarucci business also saw a decrease on cost of sales of $3.2 million, despite an increase in revenue in the current quarter versus the comparable quarter in 2022. In the first quarter of 2022, Marucci had increased air freight costs as they worked to offset supply chain shortages. These decreases were offset by increases in cost of revenue at several of our businesses. Our PrimaLoft business contributed $23.6$8.9 million of the increase in netcost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. We also saw notable increases in cost of revenues at 5.11 ($2.0 million increase), Marucci ($13.9 million increase), Altor ($22.09.7 million increase), and ArnoldLugano ($5.16.0 million increase) that correspond to the revenue increases noted above. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was approximately 43.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 39.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 41.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022. The decreaseincrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the quarter ended March 31, 20222023 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 20212022 is primarily relatedattributable to increased material, labor and transportation costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased approximately $16.6$25.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2021.2022. A portion of the increase in selling general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 20222023 is due to our LuganoPrimaLoft acquisition in the current yearJuly 2022 ($8.55.1 million of the increase)increase, of which $1.2 million was attributable to integration services fees). We also saw increases in selling, general and administrative expenses at Marucci and Altor relatedseveral of our consumer brands due to the add-on acquisitions that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021, as well as increased investment in marketing and headcount, at severalparticularly 5.11 ($9.0 million of our businesses.the increase), Lugano ($4.6 million of the increase) and Marucci ($2.8 million). Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of selling, general and administrative expense by subsidiary business segment. At the corporate level, general and administrative expense was $4.8 million in the first quarter quarter of 2023 and $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, and $3.0an increase of $1.2 million indue to the first quartertiming of 2021. The increase in expense at the corporate level in the current quarter is primarily attributable toinvestor relation events and an increase in professional fees.
Fees to manager
Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement ("MSA"), we pay CGM a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% (2.0% annually) of our consolidated adjusted net assets. We accrue for the management fee on a quarterly basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2022,2023, we incurred approximately $14.4$16.4 million in management fees as compared to $10.8$14.4 million in fees in the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022. The increase in Management fees is primarily attributable to our acquisition of LuganoPrimaLoft in September 2021, offset by our sale of Liberty in August 2021.July 2022. CGM had entered into a waiver of the MSA for a period through December 31, 2021June 30, 2023 to receive a 1% annual management fee related to BOA,PrimaLoft, rather than the 2% called for under the MSA, which resulted in a lower management fee paid in the first quarter of 20212023 than would have normally been due. In the first quarter of 2021, the LLC and CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee related to the amount of the cash proceeds deposited with the Trustee that was in excess of the amount payable related to the 2026 Notes at March 31, 2021. Additionally, CGM has entered into a waiver of the MSA at March 31, 2022 to exclude the cash balances held at the LLC from the calculation of the management fee.

Interest expense
We recorded interest expense totaling $17.4$26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 compared to $13.8$17.4 million for the comparable period in 2021,2022, an increase of $3.6$8.8 million. The increase in interest expense in the current yearquarter reflects the higher amountamounts outstanding on our senior notes duringrevolving credit facility in the current year, afterthe interest expense associated with our 2022 Term Loan that we redeemed $600.0 millionentered into in July 2022 in connection with our acquisition of 8.000% 2026 Senior NotesPrimaLoft, and issued $1000.0 million of 5.250% 2029 senior Notesthe higher interest rate environment in March of 2021, and issued an additional $300.0 million of 5.000% 2032 Senior Notesthe current quarter versus the comparable quarter in November 2021.the prior year.
Other income (expense)
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022,2023, we recorded $2.0$1.1 million in other income as compared to $2.2$2.0 million in other expenseincome in the quarter ended March 31, 2021,2022, a decrease in expenseother income of $4.3$0.9 million. Other income (expense) typically reflects the movement in foreign currency at our subsidiary businesses with international operations, gains or (losses) realized on the sale of property, plant and equipment, and expenses incurred or income earned that are not considered a part of our operations.
Income taxes
We had an income tax provision of $10.0$9.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 20222023 compared to an income tax provision of $5.3$10.0 million during the same period in 2021.2022, a decrease of $0.1 million. Our income before income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 increased2023 decreased by approximately $10.0$5.5 million as compared to the prior year quarter. During the first quarter driven byof 2023, we had an effective income tax rate of 43.1% as compared to an effective income tax rate of 35.2% for the acquisitionsfirst quarter of Lugano in September 2021,2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the effective income tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to foreign income taxes and an increase in earningslimitations on the use of net operating loss carryforwards at several of our businesses, during the quarter, particularly 5.11 and BOA. Our tax provision increased $4.7 million as the tax provision reflects an annual effective tax rate at our subsidiaries, the effect of state and local taxes and the related allocation of income, and the losses at our parent company, which was previously taxed as a partnership.
On September 1, 2021, the Trust elected to “check-the-box” to have the Trust treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This election did not have a material impact on our consolidated tax provisionwhile in the first quarter of 2022.2022, the difference was primarily attributable to the classification of our Advanced Circuits business as held-for-sale.

Our strategy of providing intercompany debt financing within the capital structure of our subsidiaries allows us the ability to distribute cash to the parent company through monthly interest payments and amortization of the principal on these intercompany loans. Each loan to our subsidiary businesses has a scheduled maturity and each subsidiary business is entitled to repay all or a portion of the principal amount of the outstanding loans, without penalty, prior to maturity. Certain of our subsidiaries have paid down their respective intercompany debt balances through the cash flow generated by these subsidiaries and we have recapitalized, and expect to continue to recapitalize, these subsidiaries in the normal course of our business. The recapitalization process involves funding the intercompany debt using either cash on hand at the parent or our applicable Credit Facility,credit facility, and serves the purpose of optimizing the capital structure at our subsidiaries and providing the noncontrolling shareholders with a distribution on their ownership interest in a cash flow positive business.
In February 2022, we completed a recapitalization at Ergobaby whereby the LLC entered into an amendment to the intercompany loan agreement with Ergobaby (the "Ergobaby Loan Agreement"). The Ergobaby Loan Agreement was amended to provide for additional term loan borrowings of $61.5 million to fund a distribution to shareholders. The LLC owned 81.6% of the outstanding shares of Ergobaby on the date of the distribution and received $50.2 million. The remaining amount of the distribution was paid to minority shareholders.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we amended the Lugano intercompany credit agreem
ent to increase the borrowing availability under their credit agreement to allow Lugano to continue to expand their operations. In the first quarter of 2022, we amended the 5.11 and Lugano intercompany credit agreements. The 5.11 amendment increased the capital expenditure allowable under the credit agreement to account for additional growth capital expenditure opportunities primarily related to retail expansion, and amended the financial covenants to reflect the increased allowable expenditure. The Lugano amendment increased the amount available under the revolving credit facility to permit additional investment in inventory, and amended the financial covenants to reflect the increase in the revolving credit facility. We amended the Lugano intercompany credit agreement again in the second quarter of 2022 to increase the amount in available under the revolving credit facility to permit additional investment in inventory, and amended the financial covenants to reflect the increase in the revolving credit facility. We amended the Velocity intercompany credit agreement in the third quarter of 2022 to increase the amount of the Velocity term loan to allow for the financing of an add-on acquisition.
All of our subsidiaries were in compliance with the financial covenants included within their intercompany credit arrangements at March 31, 2022.2023.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GAAP or U.S. GAAP refer to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. From time to time we may publicly disclose certain "non-GAAP" financial measures in the course of our investor presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls or other venues. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude amounts, included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements, and vice versa for measures that include amounts, or are subject to adjustments that effectively include amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure as calculated and presented.
Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics we use to internally evaluate our subsidiary businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operations.
The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Earnings.
Reconciliation of Net income (loss) from continuing operations to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net income (loss) to Adjusted Earnings
EBITDA – EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), loss on debt extinguishment, depreciation expense and amortization expense. Amortization expenses consist of amortization of intangibles and debt charges, including debt issuance costs, discounts, etc.
Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA is calculated utilizing the same calculation as described above in arriving at EBITDA further adjusted by: (i) noncontrolling stockholder compensation, which generally consists of non-cash stock option expense; (ii) successful acquisition costs, which consist of transaction costs (legal, accounting, due diligence, etc.) incurred in connection with the successful acquisition of a business expensed during the period in compliance with ASC 805; (iii) management fees, which reflect fees due quarterly to our Manager in connection with our MSA, (iv) integration service fees, which reflect fees paid by newly acquired companies to the Manager for integration services performed during the first year of ownership; and (v)(iv) items of other income or expense that are material to a subsidiary and non-recurring in nature.
Adjusted Earnings - Adjusted earnings is calculated as net income (loss) adjusted to include the cost of the distributions to preferred shareholders, and adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items the exclusion of which management believes provides insight regarding our ongoing operating performance. Depending on the period presented, these adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain of the following items: gains (losses) and income (loss) from discontinued operations, income (loss) from noncontrolling interest, amortization expense, subsidiary stock compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and items of other income or expense that may be material to a subsidiary and non-recurring in nature.

We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings provide useful information to investors and reflect important financial measures that are used by management in the monthly analysis of our operating results and in preparation of our annual budgets. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures as this presentation allows investors to view the performance of our businesses in a manner similar to the methods used by us and the management of our subsidiary businesses, provides additional insight into our operating results and provides a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings provide useful information to investors and reflects important financial measures as they exclude the effects of items which reflect the impact of long-term investment decisions, rather than the performance of near-term operations. When compared to net income (loss) and net income (loss) from continuing operations, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, are each limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capital assets used in generating revenues of our subsidiary businesses or the non-cash charges associated with impairments, as well as certain cash charges. The presentation of Adjusted Earnings provides insight into our operating results and provides a measure for evaluating earnings from continuing
54


operations available to common shareholders. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings are not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) from continuing operations, which we consider to be the most comparable GAAP financial measure (in thousands):

Seasonality
Earnings of certain of our operating segments are seasonal in nature due to various recurring events, holidays and seasonal weather patterns, as well as the timing of our acquisitions during a given year. Historically, the third and fourth quarter producehave produced the highest net sales duringin our fiscal year.year, however, due to various acquisitions since 2020, there is generally less seasonality in our net sales on a consolidated basis than there has been historically.

Management Services Agreement
We entered into the MSA with CGM effective May 16, 2006. The MSA provides for, among other things, CGM to perform services for the LLC in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of the Company's adjusted net assets, as defined in the MSA.
During 2022, CGM entered into a waiver of the MSA for the period through June 30, 2023 to receive a 1% annual management fee related to PrimaLoft, rather than the 2% called for under the MSA, which resulted in a lower management fee at March 31, 2023 than would normally have been due. At June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, CGM entered into a waiver to exclude cash balances held at the LLC from the calculation of the management fee.
During 2021, CGM entered into a waiver of the MSA for a period through December 31, 2021 to receive a 1% annual management fee related to BOA, rather than the 2% called for under the MSA, which resulted in a lower management fee paid during 2021 than would have normally been due.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different conditions. These critical accounting policies and estimates are reviewed periodically by our independent auditors and the audit committee of our board of directors.
Except as set forth below, our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022.March 1, 2023.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess amount of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired. Our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31st, and if current events or circumstances require, on an interim basis. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are generally an operating segment. Each of our subsidiary businesses represents a reporting unit.
We use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the goodwill impairment testing. The qualitative factors we consider include, in part, the general macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions for each reporting unit, financial performance including actual versus planned results and results of relevant prior periods, operating costs and cost impacts, as well as issues or events specific to the reporting unit. If qualitative factors are not sufficient to determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to exceed its carrying value, we will perform a quantitative test of the reporting unit whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach or market approach, or a weighting of the two methods. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of our reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The discount rate used is based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the business and the uncertainty associated with the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable public companies with operating characteristics that are similar to the reporting unit. When market comparables are not meaningful or available, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using only the income approach. The valuation approaches are subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change such as judgments and assumptions about appropriate sales growth rates, operating margins, weighted average cost of capital, and comparable company market multiples. When developing these key judgments and assumptions, we consider economic, operational and market conditions that could impact the fair value of the reporting unit. Estimates are inherently uncertain and represent only management’s reasonable expectations regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments and assumptions upon which the estimates are based will most likely differ from actual future results.

2022 An
nual2023 Annual Impairment Testing - For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2022, we performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value.
2021 Annual Impairment Testing - For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2021, we performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units. The qualitative factors we consider include, in part, the general macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions for each reporting unit, financial performance including actual versus planned results and results of relevant prior periods, operating costs and cost impacts, as well as issues or events specific to the reporting unit. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also considered how we expected COVID-19 to impact our future operating results and short and long term financial condition as part of our qualitative

assessment, including the effects on our end customers, potential short-term supply chain constraints, and the continued restrictions imposed by government and regulatory authorities. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our reporting units except ArnoldVelocity exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that the ArnoldVelocity operating segment required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of this reporting unit significantly exceeded the carrying value based on qualitative factors alone.
We performed the quantitative tests of ArnoldVelocity using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. We do not believe that the market approach results in relevant data points for market multiples or data from comparable companies since most of Arnold's competitors are privately held and do not publish data that can be used in an income approach.unit. In developing the prospective financial information used in the income approach, we considered recent market conditions, taking into consideration the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and itscurrent economic fallout.environment. The prospective financial information considers reporting unit specific facts and circumstances and is our best estimate of operational results and cash flows for the ArnoldVelocity reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing. The discount rate used in the income approach was 13.0%15.0%, and thethe results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the ArnoldVelocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value byby approximately 272%21%. TheThe prospective financial information that is used to determine the fair values of the ArnoldVelocity reporting unit requires us to make assumptions regarding future operational results including revenue growth rates and gross margins. If we do not achieve the forecasted revenue growth rates and gross margins, the results of the quantitative testing could change, potentially leading to additional testing and impairment at the reporting unit that was tested quantitatively.
2022 Interim goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset impairment testing - As a result of operating results below forecasts in the current period and expectations that macroeconomic conditions and decreases in consumer discretionary spending in the upcoming year will impact 2023 operating results, we determined that a triggering event had occurred at Ergobaby in the fourth quarter of 2022 and performed an interim impairment test of the Ergobaby goodwill and indefinite-lived tradename as of December 31, 2022. The Company used an income approach for the impairment test, whereby the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of expected future cash flows, including terminal value, and utilized a discount rate of 16.0%. The prospective financial information considers reporting unit specific facts and circumstances and was our best estimate of operational results and cash flows for Ergobaby as of the date of our impairment testing. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Ergobaby reporting unit did not exceed the carrying value. We recorded goodwill impairment expense of $20.6 million at December 31, 2022. For the indefinite lived tradename, the results of the quantitative testing indicated that the fair value exceeded the carrying value.
2022 Annual Impairment Testing - For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2022, we performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
We use a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names with a carrying value of approximately $57.0 million. The results of the qualitative analysis of our reporting unit's indefinite-lived intangible assets, which we completed as of March 31, 2022, indicated that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value.
