All statements other than statements of historical or current fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. Forward looking statements include, among other things, (i) statements as to our future performance or liquidity, such as expectations for our results of operation, net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, and ability to make quarterly distributions and (ii) our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, including our business outlook and planned capital expenditures. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed or incorporated by reference in our filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2022~~2023 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on ~~March 1, 2023,~~February 28, 2024, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our filings with the SEC. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond our control. Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those estimates or projections contained in our forward-looking statements include, among other things:

•changes in general economic, political or business conditions or economic, political or demographic trends in the ~~adverse impact on the U.S.~~United States and ~~global economy, including the markets~~other countries in which we ~~operate, of the novel coronavirus, which causes the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),~~have a presence, including changes in interest rates and ~~the impact in the near, medium and long-term on our business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity or cash flows;~~inflation;

•disruption in the global supply chain, labor shortages and high labor costs;

•difficulties and delays in integrating, or business disruptions following, acquisitions or an inability to fully realize cost savings and other benefit related thereto;

•risks associated with possible disruption in operations or the economy generally due to terrorism or natural disaster or social, civil or political unrest;

•environmental risks affecting the business or operations of our subsidiaries;

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking events discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and March 31, ~~2022~~2023 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments consist solely of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any subsequent interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") and presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and the Company, as well as the businesses acquired as of their respective acquisition date. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Discontinued operating entities are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's results of operations and statements of financial position.

Discontinued Operations

~~During the first quarter of 2023, the~~The Company completed the sale of Wheelhouse Holdings, Inc. ("Marucci") during the fourth quarter of 2023 and Compass AC Holdings, Inc. (“("Advanced Circuits or ~~ACI”~~"ACI"). during the first quarter of 2023. The results of operations of Marucci and ACI are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023 and March 31, 2022.~~2023. Refer to Note C - "~~Discontinued Operations~~""Discontinued Operations" for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosures accompanying the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's continuing operations.

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~~quarter have produced the highest net sales ~~during~~in our fiscal year, however, due to various acquisitions ~~since 2020,~~in the last three years, there is generally less seasonality in our net sales on a consolidated basis than there has been historically.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This guidance will require, among other things, the following: (i) enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included in a segment's reported measure of profit or loss; (ii) disclosure of the amount and description of the composition of other segment items, as defined in ASU 2023-07, by reportable segment; and (iii) reporting the disclosures about each reportable segment's profit or loss and assets on an annual and interim basis. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have when adopted and anticipates the ASU will likely result in additional disclosures in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance will require, among other things, the following for public business entities: (i) enhanced disclosures of specific categories of reconciling items included in the rate reconciliation, as well as additional information for any of these items meeting certain qualitative and quantitative thresholds; (ii) disclosure of the judgment used in categorizing them if not otherwise evident; and (iii) enhanced disclosures for income taxes paid, which includes federal, state, and foreign taxes, as well as for individual jurisdictions over a certain quantitative threshold. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 eliminate the requirement to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in unrecognized tax benefits for the 12 months after the balance sheet date. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have when adopted and anticipates the ASU will likely result in additional disclosures in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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.

Acquisition of ~~PrimaLoft~~The Honey Pot Co.

On ~~July 12, 2022,~~January 31, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the LLC, through its newly formed ~~indirect~~ acquisition ~~subsidiary, Relentless~~subsidiaries, THP Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THP Topco”) and THP Intermediate, Inc. ~~("PrimaLoft Buyer"~~, a Delaware corporation (“THP Buyer”), acquired ~~PrimaLoft Technologies~~The Honey Pot Company Holdings, ~~Inc.~~LLC (“~~PrimaLoft”~~THP”) and certain of its affiliated entities pursuant to a Merger and Stock Purchase Agreement (the ~~“PrimaLoft~~“THP Purchase Agreement”), dated ~~June 4, 2022,~~January 14, 2024 by and ~~between PrimaLoft~~among THP Buyer, ~~and VP PrimaLoft~~THP, VMG Honey Pot Blocker, Inc.

(1) The fair value of accounts receivable approximates book value acquired.

The preliminary allocation ~~of the purchase price~~ presented above is based onupon management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including ~~the~~ income, cost and market ~~approach.~~approaches. In estimating the fair value of the identifiable 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, property, plant and equipment and current and other liabilities are ~~valued~~estimated at their historical carrying ~~values.~~values, which approximates fair value. 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 at fair value which approximates book value and~~ will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the 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 $~~291.1~~128.1 million reflects the strategic fit of ~~PrimaLoft~~The Honey Pot Co. in the Company's branded consumer business and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The ~~PrimaLoft~~ purchase price ~~allocation was~~of The Honey Pot Co. is expected to be finalized in the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2023.~~2024.

Note D — Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, and excludes any sales incentives or taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to government authorities.

Disaggregated Revenue - The Company disaggregates revenue by strategic business unit and by geography for each strategic business unit which are categories that depict how the nature, amount and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation in the tables below reflects where revenue is earned based on the shipping address of our customers unless otherwise noted. This disaggregation also represents how the Company evaluates its financial performance, as well as how the Company communicates its

financial performance to the investors and other users of its financial statements. Each strategic business unit represents the Company’s reportable segments and offers different products and services.

The following tables provide disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment geography for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 (in thousands):

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

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.

2024 Annual Impairment Testing

For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2024, 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 except Velocity exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that the Velocity 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 a quantitative test of Velocity and the results of the testing indicated that the fair value of Velocity did not exceed the carrying value, resulting in goodwill impairment expense of $8.2 million as of March 31, 2024.

2023 Annual Impairment Testing

The Company determined that the Velocity 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 2023 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.

The quantitative test of Velocity was performed using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The discount rate used in the income approach was 15% and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Velocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 21%.

~~2022 Annual~~Interim Impairment Testing

2023 Interim Impairment Testing

PrimaLoft reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing. The discount rate used in the income approach was 11.3%. The results of the ~~qualitative analysis~~quantitative impairment testing indicated ~~that it was more-likely-than-not~~ that the fair value of ~~each of our~~the PrimaLoft reporting ~~units exceeded their~~unit did not exceed its carrying value, ~~for~~resulting in goodwill impairment expense of $57.8 million in the ~~2022 annual impairment testing.~~

~~Interim Impairment Testing~~

~~2022 Interim Impairment Testing~~year ended December 31, 2023.

~~Ergobaby~~Velocity Outdoor - The Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing ~~at Ergobaby~~ of goodwill ~~and the indefinite lived tradename~~ at ~~December~~Velocity at August 31, ~~2022.~~2023. As a result of operating results that were below ~~historical and~~the forecast ~~amounts,~~that we used in the quantitative impairment test of Velocity Outdoor at March 31, 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred at ~~Ergobaby.~~Velocity in the third quarter of 2023 and performed an interim impairment test as of August 31, 2023. 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%~~17% 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~~Velocity's ability to execute on projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of ~~Ergobaby~~Velocity did not exceed its carrying value. WeThe Company recorded goodwill

impairment of ~~$20.6~~$31.6 million atduring the year ended December 31, ~~2022. For the indefinite lived tradename, quantitative testing indicated that the fair value exceeded the carrying value.~~2023.

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 ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022.~~2023. 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.

Note I — Debt

2022 Credit Facility

On July 12, 2022, the LLC entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2022 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2022 Credit Facility provides for revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit ("the 2022 Revolving Line of Credit") up to a maximum aggregate amount of $600 million ("the 2022 Revolving Loan Commitment") and a $400 million term loan (the ~~“ 2022~~“2022 Term Loan”). The 2022 Term Loan requires quarterly payments ranging from $2.5 million to $7.5 million, commencing September 30, 2022, with a final payment of all remaining principal and interest due on July 12, 2027, which is the 2022 Term

Loan’s maturity date. All amounts outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Line of Credit will become due on July 12, 2027, which is the termination date of the 2022 Revolving Loan Commitment. The 2022 Credit Facility also permits the LLC, prior to the applicable maturity date, to increase the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or obtain additional term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, subject to certain restrictions and conditions. On the closing date for the 2022 Credit Facility, the 2022 Term Loan was advanced in full and the initial borrowings outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Line of Credit were $115 million. We used the initial proceeds from the 2022 Credit Facility to pay all amounts outstanding under the 2021 Credit Facility, pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2022 Credit Facility and fund the acquisition of PrimaLoft.

The LLC may borrow, prepay and reborrow principal under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility from time to time during its term. Advances under the 2022 Revolving Line of Credit can be either term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") loans or base rate loans. Term SOFR revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum based on the applicable SOFR as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator), as adjusted, plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%, based on the ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to adjusted consolidated earnings before interest expense, tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses for such period (the “Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio”). Base rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the “prime rate”, and (iii) the applicable SOFR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”), plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, based on the Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

Advances under the 2022 Term Loan can be either term SOFR loans or base rate loans. The 2022 Term Loan was advanced in full on the closing date for the 2022 Credit Facility as a Term SOFR loan with an interest period of one month. On the last day of an interest period, Term SOFR loans may be converted to Term SOFR loans of a different interest period or to Base Rate loans. Term SOFR term loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum based on the Term SOFR for such interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%, based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. Base rate term loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

Under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, an aggregate amount of up to $100 million in letters of credit may be issued, as well as swing line loans of up to $25 million outstanding at one time. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swing line loan would reduce the amount available under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.

Net availability under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility was approximately ~~$589.8~~$551.6 million at March 31, ~~2023.~~2024. Letters of credit outstanding at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 totaled approximately ~~$2.2~~$2.5 million. At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants as defined in the 2022 Credit Facility.

The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company, including all of its equity interests in, and loans to, its subsidiaries.

~~2021 Credit Facility~~

On March 23, 2021, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2021 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the 2018 Credit Facility (as previously restated and amended) among the LLC, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The 2021 Credit Facility provided for revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit (the “2021 Revolving Credit Facility”) up to a maximum aggregate amount of $600 million and also permitted the LLC, prior to the applicable maturity date, to increase the revolving loan commitment and/or obtain term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, subject to certain restrictions and conditions. The Company repaid the outstanding amounts under the 2021 credit facility in the third quarter of 2022 in connection with entering into the 2022 Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

2032 Senior Notes

On November 17, 2021, we consummated the issuance and sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” or "2032 Senior Notes") offered pursuant to a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2032 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 17, 2021 (the “2032 Notes Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as

The proceeds from the sale of the 2032 Notes was used to repay a portion of our debt outstanding under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.

2029 Senior Notes

On March 23, 2021, we consummated the issuance and sale of $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes" or "2029 Senior Notes") offered pursuant to a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 23, 2021 (the “2029 Notes Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The 2029 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.250% per annum and will mature on April 15, 2029. Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable in cash on April 15th and October 15th of each year. The first interest payment date on the 2029 Senior Notes was October 15, 2021. The 2029 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by our subsidiaries.

The proceeds from the sale of the 2029 Notes was used to repay debt outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility in connection with entering into the 2021 Credit Facility, as described above, and to redeem our 8.000% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”).

~~Share repurchase program~~Private Placement

~~In January~~On December 15, 2023, the ~~Company's Board~~Company completed the sale of ~~Directors approved~~3,550,000 common shares in a private placement to Allspring Special Small Cap Value Fund for consideration per share ~~repurchase program authorizing~~equal to $21.18 per share, or an aggregate sale price of approximately $75.2 million. In connection with the ~~Company~~issuance of the shares, we paid a commission equal to ~~repurchase, through December 31, 2023, up~~1% of the aggregate sales price, or approximately $0.8 million. The sale of the common shares was made pursuant to ~~$50 million~~a subscription agreement pursuant to which the buyer agreed not to dispose of ~~its outstanding~~the common ~~shares.~~

~~The Company repurchased 210,000~~ shares for ~~$4.0 million during~~a period of six months following the ~~three months ended March 31, 2023. As~~date of ~~March 31, 2023, $46.0 million remained available to purchase under~~ the ~~share repurchase program.~~private placement.

~~At-The-Market Equity Offering Program~~At-the-market equity offering program - common shares

On September 7, 2021, the Company filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to which the Company may, but has no obligation to, issue and sell up to $500 million common shares of the Trust in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, market conditions, the trading price of Trust common shares and determinations by us regarding appropriate sources of funding.

In connection with this offering, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the ~~“Sales~~“Common Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (each a “Sales Agent” and, collectively, the “Sales Agents”). The Common Sales Agreement provides that the Company may offer and sell Trust common shares from time to time through the Sales Agents up to $500 million, in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company. Pursuant to the Common Sales Agreement, the shares may be offered and sold through each Sales Agent, acting

separately, in ordinary brokers’ transactions, to or through a market maker, on or through the New York Stock Exchange or any other market venue where the securities may be traded, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act or through a combination of any such methods of sale.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 53,932 Trust common shares under the Common Sales Agreement.

Earnings per share

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method which requires the Company to allocate to participating securities that have rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available only to Trust shareholders as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The Allocation Interests are considered participating securities that contain participating rights to receive profit allocations upon the occurrence of a Holding Event or Sale Event. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 reflects the incremental increase during the period in the profit allocation distribution to Holders related to Holding Events.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 attributable to the common shares of Holdings is calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Note M — Income taxes

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 Company's parent, the Trust, is subject to entity-level U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes on the Company's earnings that flow through to the Trust.

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, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 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 ~~$1.8~~$3.3 million is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of other non-current liabilities at March 31, ~~2023.~~2024. Net periodic benefit cost consists of the following for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024, per the terms of the pension agreement, Arnold contributed $0.1 million to the plan. For the remainder of ~~2023,~~2024, the expected contribution to the plan will be approximately ~~$0.3~~$0.4 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, ~~2023~~2024 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, computer equipment and software under various 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

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, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022.~~2023. The Company recognized ~~$12.3~~$11.4 million and ~~$10.4~~$11.9 million in the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively, in expense related to operating leases in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The maturities of lease liabilities at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 are as follows (in thousands):


2023 (excluding three months ended March 31, 2023)		$	29,731
2024		39,311

Less: Interest	Less: Interest	53,300
Present value of lease liabilities	Present value of lease liabilities	$	180,553

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 in the lease term. As the discount 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:


Lease Term and Discount Rate	Lease Term and Discount Rate	March 31, 2023		March 31, 2022		Lease Term and Discount Rate	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023

Note P — Related Party Transactions

Management Services Agreement

The LLC entered into the Management Services Agreement ("MSA") with CGM effective May 16, 2006, as amended. Our Chief Executive Officer is a partner of CGM. 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 LLC'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, and June 30, 2023 than would normally have been due. At March 31, 2022, CGM entered into a waiver to exclude cash balances held at the LLC from the calculation of the management fee.

Integration Services Agreements

PrimaLoft, which was acquired in July 2022, entered into an Integration Services Agreement ("ISA") with CGM whereby PrimaLoft will pay CGM an integration services fee of $4.8 million quarterly over a twelve-month period ended June 30, 2023.

Lugano, which was acquired in September 2021, entered into an ISA with CGM whereby Lugano paid CGM an integration services fee of $2.3 million quarterly over a twelve month period as services were rendered, beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Integration service fees are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the subsidiaries' statement of operations in the period in which they are incurred. Under the ~~ISAs,~~Integration Services Agreement ("ISA"), CGM provides services for new platform acquisitions to, amongst other things, assist the management at the acquired entities in establishing a corporate governance program, implement compliance and reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and align the acquired entity's policies and procedures with our other subsidiaries.

The Honey Pot Co., which was acquired in January 2024, entered into an ISA with CGM whereby The Honey Pot Co. will pay CGM a total integration services fee of $3.5 million, payable quarterly over a twelve-month period beginning June 30, 2024.

We categorize our subsidiary businesses 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~~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. We believe healthcare has multiple attractive, high-growth segments with strong industry tailwinds, is an acyclical vertical that we expect will bring diversification and stability to the current group of companies, and has strong alignment with the Company’s existing subsidiary priorities.

While our subsidiary businesses have different growth opportunities and potential rates of growth, we actively manage each of our subsidiary businesses to increase the value of, and cash generated by, each business through various initiatives, including making selective capital investments to expand geographic reach, increase capacity or reduce manufacturing costs of our subsidiary businesses; improving and expanding existing sales and marketing programs; and assisting in the acquisition and integration of complementary businesses.

Significant Trends Impacting Our Subsidiary Businesses

Macroeconomic Trends

The macroeconomic environment ~~continues to remain~~remains dynamic as global macroeconomic trends, including inflationary pressures and ~~rising~~higher interest rates, are ~~weakening consumer sentiment and negatively~~ impacting consumer spending behavior. We expect changing market conditions and continued inflationary pressures to continue to impact consumer spending, 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~~consumers, even as overall consumer ~~spending~~sentiment among other income brackets appears to be ~~negatively impacted during 2023.~~improving going into 2024. While overall inflation increased at a slower pace domestically in 2023, prices remain significantly elevated as compared to the pre-COVID-19 environment, and inflation rates remain above central banks' targets. We continue to experience modest inflationary cost increases in our materials and rising labor costs, particularly at our businesses where hourly employees comprise a larger part of the workforce. We expect that low unemployment rates and ~~transportation~~increasing wage and benefit costs ~~although transportation~~will have an impact on margins at our businesses in 2024. Certain locales that our businesses operate in have also significantly increased the minimum wage over the past two years with more increases scheduled in coming years, which adds additional wage pressure to the rates we pay hourly workers in these locales.

Our lead-times for inventory have stabilized, which we expect will allow for more accurate forecasting in 2024. Several of our consumer brand businesses experienced a decrease in net revenues in 2023 resulting from higher than anticipated end market inventory levels due to supply chain normalization and a corresponding inventory ordering surge experienced in 2022. Transportation costs have ~~normalized after reaching~~also decreased from a peak, but global geopolitical threats that arose in the ~~first~~latter half of ~~2022.~~ ~~We took numerous actions during 2022~~2023 continue to ~~build capacity as well as increase our supply chain related resources, including increasing inventory levels~~pressure both fuel 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.freight costs. Accordingly, our liquidity and financial results could be impacted in ways that we are not able to predict today.

Despite the negative trends noted above, the diversification of our businesses, concentration in the North American market and actions we have taken over the last few years to improve the overall composition of our subsidiary companies and to reduce our cost of capital have positioned us, we believe, to continue to execute on our strategy during 2024 from a position of strength.

Business Outlook

The Company anticipates that the areas of focus for ~~2023,~~2024, 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;

•Driving free cash flow through increased net income and effective working capital management, enabling continued investment in our businesses;

•Raising prices, when appropriate, on our goods due to rising input costs to preserve operating 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; and

•Continuing to grow through disciplined, strategic acquisitions and rigorous integration ~~processes; and~~processes.

•~~Driving free cash flow through increased net income and effective working capital management, enabling continued investment in our businesses.~~

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

"U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP" refer to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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.

Net revenues

Consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 increased by approximately ~~$31.7~~$40.4 million, or ~~6.2%~~8.3%, compared to the corresponding period in ~~2022. Our PrimaLoft business, which we acquired in July 2022, contributed $24.5 million to the increase.~~2023. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 compared to ~~2022,~~2023, we ~~also~~ saw ~~significant~~notable increases in net ~~sales~~revenues at ~~5.11~~BOA ($~~20.4~~4.9 million increase) and Lugano ($39.2 million increase), ~~Marucci ($6.2 million increase), Lugano ($16.9 million increase), Ergobaby ($2.2 million increase) and Arnold ($1.9 million increase), partially~~ offset by ~~a decrease~~decreases in net revenue at ~~BOA ($18.8 million decrease),~~ Velocity Outdoor ($~~17.4~~4.1 million decrease), Altor Solutions ($~~2.3~~8.1 million decrease) and Sterno ($~~1.9~~10.2 million decrease). The Honey Pot Co., which we acquired on January 31, 2024, contributed $20.2 million in net revenues in the first quarter of 2024. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of net revenues by subsidiary business segment.

We do not generate any revenues apart from those generated by ~~the businesses we own.~~our subsidiaries. We may generate interest income on the investment of available funds, but expect such earnings to be minimal. We make loans from the Company to our subsidiary businesses and also hold equity interests in those businesses. Cash flows coming to the Trust and the ~~Company~~LLC are the result of interest payments on those loans, amortization of those loans and additional principal payments on those loans. However, on a consolidated basis, these items will be eliminated.

Cost of revenues

On a consolidated basis, cost of revenues ~~decreased~~increased approximately ~~$5.3~~$3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 compared to the corresponding period in ~~2022.~~2023. We saw notable increases in cost of revenues at BOA ($1.5 million increase) and Lugano ($12.5 million increase) that correlates with the increase in net revenue in the first quarter of 2024. We saw notable decreases in cost of revenues at ~~BOA ($5.9 million decrease),~~ Velocity ($~~12.0~~2.6 million decrease), Altor ($~~4.9~~7.6 million decrease), and Sterno ($~~4.0~~11.3 million decrease) that corresponded to the decrease in net revenue noted above. ~~Our Marucci business also saw a decrease on~~The Honey Pot Co. had cost of sales of ~~$3.2~~$11.6 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 $8.9 million in cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. We also saw increases in cost of revenues at 5.11 ($9.7 million increase), and Lugano ($6.0 million increase) that correspond to the revenue increases noted above.2024 post-acquisition. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was approximately ~~43.9%~~46.1% in the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 compared to ~~39.3%~~42.4% in the three months ended March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the quarter ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 is ~~primarily attributable~~driven by the mix of products sold, with increases in net revenue at our higher margin businesses, particularly Lugano. Our branded consumer businesses had gross profit as a percentage of net revenues of 53.8% in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 52.0% in the ~~implementation~~first quarter of ~~price increases at~~

~~most~~2023, while our industrial businesses had gross profit as a percentage of ~~our subsidiary businesses~~net revenues of 28.6% in ~~response~~the first quarter of 2024 as compared to ~~rising costs.~~25.7% in the first quarter of 2023. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of gross profit by subsidiary business segment.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased approximately ~~$25.5~~$20.5 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, compared to the corresponding period in 2022. A portion of the increase in selling general and administrative expense in the first quarter of 2023 is due to our PrimaLoft acquisition in July 2022 ($5.1 million of the increase, of which $1.2 million was attributable to integration services fees).2023. We ~~also~~ saw increases in selling, general and administrative expenses at several of our consumer brands due to increased investment in marketing and headcount, ~~particularly 5.11~~increases in employee compensation and increases in fulfillment costs. We saw notable increase in selling, general and administrative expenses at BOA ($~~9.0~~1.7 million of the increase), ~~Lugano~~Ergobaby ($~~4.6~~1.3 million of the increase) and ~~Marucci~~Lugano ($~~2.8 million)~~7.1 million of the increase). The Honey Pot Co. had selling, general and administrative expense of $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 post-acquisition, of which $3.5 million was transaction costs associated with the acquisition. 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 $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $4.8 million in the first quarter ~~quarter~~ of 2023, ~~and $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2022,~~ an increase of ~~$1.2 million due to the timing of investor relation events and an increase in professional fees.~~$0.1 million.

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, ~~2023,~~2024, we incurred approximately ~~$16.4~~$18.1 million in management fees as compared to ~~$14.4~~$16.3 million in fees in the three months ended March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. The increase in ~~Management~~management fees is primarily attributable to our acquisition of ~~PrimaLoft~~The Honey Pot Co. in ~~July 2022.~~ January 2024.

CGM entered into a waiver of the MSA for a 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 paid in the first quarter of 2023 than would have normally been due. PrimaLoft was acquired in July 2022.

Amortization expense

Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 increased ~~$5.3~~$2.3 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 as a result of the amortization expense associated with the intangibles that were recognized in conjunction with the purchase price allocation for ~~PrimaLoft,~~The Honey Pot Co., which was acquired in ~~July 2022.~~January 2024.

Impairment expense

In connection with our annual goodwill impairment test, we tested the goodwill at the Velocity reporting unit quantitatively. The impairment test resulted in Velocity recording impairment expense of $8.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Interest expense

We recorded interest expense totaling ~~$26.2~~$23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 compared to ~~$17.4~~$26.2 million for the comparable period in ~~2022, an increase~~2023, a decrease of ~~$8.8~~$2.6 million. We received $1.8 million in interest income on our cash balances at the LLC during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the proceeds from our sale of Marucci. The ~~increase~~remaining decrease in interest expense in the current quarter reflects ~~higher amounts~~ the lower average amount

outstanding onunder our revolving credit facility in the ~~current~~first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023. There was an average of $29 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2024 and $107 million outstanding in the first quarter of 2023. The amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility in the last year was impacted by the ~~interest expense associated~~timing of our dispositions and acquisitions in the past year, with ~~our 2022 Term Loan that we entered into~~the proceeds from the sale of Advanced Circuits in ~~July 2022~~February 2023 used to pay down outstanding balances on the facility, and the proceeds from the sale of Marucci in ~~connection with our~~November 2023 used to pay for the acquisition of ~~PrimaLoft, and~~The Honey Pot Co. rather than using the ~~higher interest rate environment in~~availability under the ~~current quarter versus the comparable quarter in the prior year.~~facility.

Other income (expense)

For the quarter ended March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we recorded ~~$1.1~~$2.9 million in other ~~income~~expense as compared to ~~$2.0~~$1.2 million in other income in the quarter ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, a decrease ~~in other income~~ of ~~$0.9~~$4.0 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. In the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the other expense reflects a loss on an equity method investment at Altor Solutions.

Income taxes

We had an income tax provision of ~~$9.8~~$8.7 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 compared to an income tax provision of ~~$10.0~~$6.9 million during the same period in ~~2022, a decrease~~2023, an increase of ~~$0.1~~$1.8 million. Our ~~income before income taxes for~~effective tax rate in the quarter ended March 31, ~~2023 decreased by approximately $5.5 million as compared to the prior year quarter. During the first quarter of 2023, we had an effective income tax rate of 43.1% as~~2024 was 78.1%, compared to an effective income tax rate of ~~35.2% for~~81.1% during the ~~first quarter~~same period in 2023. Our tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of ~~2022. During~~income we earn in those jurisdictions. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year. In addition to state income taxes, the ~~first quarter~~items with the most significant impact on the difference between our statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of ~~2023, the~~21% percent and our effective income tax rate ~~differed from~~in 2024 was the ~~U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to foreign income taxes and~~ limitations on the ~~use of~~ net operating loss carryforwards and utilization of tax credits at our ~~businesses, while~~subsidiaries and the impairment expense recognized at Velocity in the first quarter of ~~2022, the difference was primarily attributable to the classification of our Advanced Circuits business as held-for-sale.~~

The main factor of the decrease in sales was higher than anticipated end market inventory levels due to supply chain normalization and corresponding inventory ordering surge experienced in many of our industries in 2022.

The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense is primarily due to decreased employee costs related to BOA’s bonus plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash primarily from the operations of our subsidiaries, and we have the ability to borrow under our 2022 Credit Facility to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In January 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase, through December 31, 2023, up to $50 million of its outstanding common shares. In 2021, we filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to which we may, but we have no obligation to, issue and sell up to $500 million of the common shares of the Trust in amounts and at times to be determined by us. In the first quarter of 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to which we may, but we have no obligation to, issue and sell up to $100 million of the preferred shares of the Trust in amounts and at times to be determined by us. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, market conditions, the trading price of Trust common and preferred shares and determinations by us regarding appropriate sources of funding.

Our liquidity requirements primarily relate to our debt service requirements, payments of our common and preferred share distributions, management fees paid to our Manager, working capital needs and purchase commitments at our subsidiaries. As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we had $1,000.0 million of indebtedness associated with our 5.250% 2029 Notes, ~~$300~~$300.0 million of indebtedness associated with our 5.000% 2032 Notes, ~~$392.5~~$382.5 million outstanding on our 2022 Term Loan, and ~~$8.0~~$46.0 million outstanding on our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. Only our 2022 Term Loan has required principal payments. Long-term debt liquidity requirements consist of the payment in full of our Notes upon their respective maturity dates, amounts outstanding under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility upon its maturity date, and principal payments under our 2022 Term Loan. The 2022 Term Loan requires quarterly payments ranging from $2.5 million to $7.5 million, commencing September 30, 2022, with a final payment of all remaining principal and interest due on July 12, 2027, which is the 2022 Term Loan’s maturity date. At March 31, ~~2023, approximately 24%~~2024, approximately 25% of our ~~outstanding~~outstanding debt was subject to interest rate changes.

At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we had approximately ~~$53.7~~$64.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, a decrease of ~~$4.2~~$385.8 million as compared to the year ended December 31, ~~2022.~~2023. In November 2023, we sold our Marucci subsidiary, receiving approximately $484.0 million of total proceeds at closing. A portion of the proceeds from the Marucci sale were used to pay down outstanding debt under the Company’s 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and the remaining amount was held in short term investment and savings accounts at December 31, 2023. On January 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of The Honey Pot Co. using cash held on our balance sheet. The majority of our cash is in non-interest bearing checking accounts or invested in short-term money market accounts and is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which identifies allowable investments and specifies credit quality standards. Our availability under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 was ~~$589.8~~$551.6 million. The change in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 is as follows:

Intercompany Debt

A component of our acquisition financing strategy that we utilize in acquiring the subsidiary businesses we own and manage is to provide both equity capital and debt capital, raised at the parent level through our existing credit facility. 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, 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.

We will from time to time, amend the intercompany credit agreements to reflect changes in the business or funding needs of our businesses. The following amendments have been made in the time period indicated:

We have made several amendments to the Lugano intercompany credit agreement to allow Lugano to continue to expand their operations and build inventory to support their salon expansion. Amendments were made to the Lugano intercompany credit agreement in the first quarter of 2024, and the second, third and fourth quarter of 2023. We expect to continue to fund Lugano to support their sales growth in the upcoming year.

In the first quarter of 2024, we amended the PrimaLoft intercompany credit agreement to amend the fixed charge ratio and leverage ratio covenants contained within their intercompany credit agreement.

In ~~February 2022,~~the second quarter of 2023, we amended the Velocity intercompany credit agreement to extend the term of the facility and to increase the borrowing availability under the facility.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we amended the Ergo Credit Agreement to permit the fixed charge coverage ratio to remain at the September 30, 2023 level through the period ending December 31, 2024.

In December 2023, we completed a recapitalization at ~~Ergobaby~~BOA whereby the LLC entered into an amendment to the intercompany loan agreement with ~~Ergobaby~~BOA (the ~~"Ergobaby Loan~~"BOA Credit Agreement"). The ~~Ergobaby Loan~~BOA Credit Agreement was amended to provide for additional term loan borrowings of ~~$61.5~~$165.9 million to fund a distribution to shareholders. The LLC ~~owned 81.6%~~received a distribution of $131.0 million related to their ownership of the outstanding shares of ~~Ergobaby~~BOA on the date of the distribution. Noncontrolling shareholders received a distribution of $11.7 million, and ~~received $50.2 million. The~~the remaining amount of the ~~distribution~~recapitalization was ~~paid~~used to ~~minority shareholders.~~

~~In the fourth quarter of 2022, we amended the Lugano intercompany credit agreement~~repurchase employee stock options and to i~~ncrease the borrowing availability under their credit agreement~~pay a bonus to ~~allow Lugano~~employees who held phantom stock options and were not eligible 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 increaseparticipate in the ~~revolving credit facility. We amended the Lugano intercompany credit agreement again in the second quarter of 2022~~distribution 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.noncontrolling shareholders.

All of our subsidiaries except PrimaLoft and Velocity were in compliance with the financial covenants included within their intercompany credit arrangements at March 31, ~~2023.~~2024. We issued a waiver to PrimaLoft for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 related to their leverage ratio in the intercompany credit agreement. We issued a waiver to Velocity related to the fixed charge and leverage ratios in the intercompany credit agreement for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

All intercompany loans eliminate in consolidation and are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we had the following outstanding loans due from each of our subsidiary ~~businesses:~~businesses (in thousands):

From time to time we may publicly disclose certain ~~"non-GAAP"~~“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~~Adjusted earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted 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~~ –costs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated utilizing the same calculation as described ~~above~~ in arriving at EBITDA further adjusted by: (i) ~~noncontrolling~~non-controlling 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) impairment charges, which reflect write downs to goodwill or other intangible assets; (iv) changes in the fair value of contingent consideration subsequent to initial purchase accounting, (v) 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 ~~(iv)~~(vi) 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.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings are non-GAAP measures used by the Company to assess its performance. 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 operations available to common shareholders. EBITDA,~~results. 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.

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 have produced the highest net sales in our fiscal year, however, due to various acquisitions ~~since 2020,~~in the last three years, there is generally less seasonality in our net sales on a consolidated basis than there has been historically.

Related Party Transactions

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. Our Chief Executive Officer is a partner of CGM.

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, and June 30, 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.~~

Allocation Interests

The Allocation Interests represent the original equity interest in the Company. The holders of the Allocation Interests (“Holders”), through Sostratus LLC, are entitled to receive distributions pursuant to a profit allocation formula upon the occurrence of certain events. The distributions of the profit allocation are paid upon the occurrence of the sale of a material amount of capital stock or assets of one of the Company’s businesses (“Sale Event”) or, at the option of the Holders, at each five year anniversary date of the acquisition of one of the Company’s businesses (“Holding Event”). The Company records distributions of the profit allocation to the Holders upon occurrence of a Sale Event or Holding Event as dividends declared on Allocation Interests to stockholders’ equity when they are approved by the Company’s board of directors.

The sale of Advanced Circuits in February 2023 represented a Sale Event and the Company's board of director's approved a distribution of $24.4 million in April 2023, subsequent to the end of the first quarter. In addition, the Company's board of directors approved a distribution of $2.1 million related to various sale proceeds received related to previous Sale Events. These distributions were paid to the Holders of the Allocation Interests in April 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no special purpose entities or off-balance sheet arrangements.

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, ~~2022,~~2023, as filed with the SEC on ~~March 1, 2023.~~February 28, 2024.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing

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.

~~2023~~2024 Annual Impairment Testing -

For our annual impairment testing at March 31, ~~2022,~~2024, 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 except Velocity exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that the Velocity 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 a quantitative test of Velocity and the results of the testing indicated that the fair value of Velocity did not exceed the carrying value, resulting in goodwill impairment expense of $8.2 million as of March 31, 2024, which represented the remaining balance of goodwill at Velocity.

2023 Interim goodwill impairment testing

PrimaLoft - The Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill at PrimaLoft as of December 31, 2023. As a result of operating results that were below forecast amounts that were used as the basis for the purchase price allocation performed when PrimaLoft was acquired as well as the failure of certain financial covenants in the intercompany credit agreement as of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred. The Company performed the quantitative impairment test using both an income approach and a market approach. The prospective information used in the income approach considers macroeconomic data, industry and reporting unit specific facts and circumstances and is our best estimate of operational results and cash flows for the PrimaLoft reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing. The discount rate used in the income approach was 11.3%. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the PrimaLoft reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value, resulting in goodwill impairment expense of $57.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2023.

Velocity Outdoor - The Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing of goodwill at Velocity at August 31, 2023. As a result of operating results that were below the forecast that we used in the quantitative impairment test of Velocity Outdoor at March 31, 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred at Velocity in the third quarter of 2023 and performed an interim impairment test as of August 31, 2023. 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 17% 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 Velocity's ability to execute on projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of Velocity did not exceed its carrying value. The Company recorded goodwill impairment of $31.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

2023 Annual Impairment Testing

For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2023, 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 except Velocity exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that the Velocity 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~~test of Velocity using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting 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 current economic 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 Velocity reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing. The discount rate used in the income approach was 15.0%, and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Velocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by approximately 21%. The prospective financial information that is used to determine the fair values of the Velocity 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 peri~~od 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 ba~~sed 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,~~2024, indicated that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value.
