Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounting principles The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). Basis of presentation The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 represent the results of operations of the Company’s acquired businesses from the date of their acquisition by the Company, and therefore are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Principles of consolidation The 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. The acquisition of businesses that the Company owns or controls more than a 50% share of the voting interest are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The amount assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is based on the estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder, if any, recorded as goodwill. Discontinued Operations The Company completed the sale of its majority owned subsidiary, Tridien Medical, Inc. ("Tridien") during the third quarter of 2016, the sale of its majority owned subsidiary CamelBak Products, LLC ("CamelBak") in the third quarter of 2015 and the sale of its majority owned subsidiary, American Furniture Manufacturing, Inc. ("AFM" or "American Furniture"), during the fourth quarter of 2015. The results of operations of Tridien are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The results of operations of CamelBak and American Furniture are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. In addition, the assets and liabilities associated with Tridien have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015. Refer to "Note D - Discontinued Operations" for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosures accompanying the consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's continuing operations. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. It is possible that in 2017 actual conditions could be better or worse than anticipated when the Company developed the estimates and assumptions, which could materially affect the results of operations and financial position in the future. Such changes could result in future impairment of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets, inventory obsolescence, establishment of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and increased tax liabilities, among other things. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Profit Allocation Interests At the time of the Company's Initial Public Offering, the Company issued Allocation Interests governed by the LLC agreement that entitle the holders (the "Holders") to receive distributions pursuant to a profit allocation formula upon the occurrence of certain events. The Holders are entitled to receive and as such can elect to receive the positive contribution based profit allocation payment for each of the business acquisitions during the 30-day period following the fifth anniversary of the date upon which the Company acquired a controlling interest in that business (Holding Event) and upon the sale of that business (Sale Event). Payments of profit allocation to the Holders are accounted for as dividends declared on Allocation Interests and recorded in stockholders' equity once they are approved by our Board of Directors. Revenue recognition The Company records revenue for goods and services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or performance of services has occurred, and collectability of the fixed or determinable sales price is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product to the customer or performance of services for a customer, net of sales returns and allowances. Appropriate reserves are established for anticipated returns and allowances based on historical experience. Shipping and handling costs are charged to operations when incurred and are generally classified as a component of cost of sales. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue is typically recorded at F.O.B. shipping point for all of our businesses. Service revenue Revenue from the Company's Clean Earth business is recognized as services are rendered, generally when material is received at Clean Earth's facilities. Cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our subsidiaries in foreign bank accounts was $16.7 million and $10.9 million , respectively. Allowance for doubtful accounts The Company uses estimates to determine the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts in order to reduce accounts receivable to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the amount of the required allowance by reviewing the status of past-due receivables and analyzing historical bad debt trends. The Company’s estimate also includes analyzing existing economic conditions. When the Company becomes aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, the Company will record an allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduce the net receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collectible. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, manufactured goods and purchased goods acquired for resale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and indirect overhead. Market value is based on current replacement cost for raw materials and supplies and on net realizable value for finished goods. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. The cost of major additions or betterments is capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. The ranges of useful lives are as follows: Buildings and improvements 15 to 25 years Machinery and equipment 2 to 20 years Office furniture, computers and software 2 to 8 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or lease term Property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets that have definitive lives are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable (‘triggering event’). Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value of financial instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. Term Debt with a carrying value of $561.0 million , net of original issue discount, at December 31, 2016 approximated fair value. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, the Term Debt would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Business combinations The Company allocates the amount it pays for each acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets which arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The Company bases the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management, which consider management’s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. The Company allocates any excess purchase price that exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired to goodwill. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated growth rates, cash flows, discount rates and estimated useful lives could result in different purchase price allocations and amortization expense in current and future periods. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions are expensed as incurred through selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations. In those circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments expected to be made as of the acquisition date. The Company re-measures this liability each reporting period and records changes in the fair value through a separate line item within the consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is required to perform impairment reviews at each of its reporting units annually and more frequently in certain circumstances. In accordance with accounting guidelines, the Company is able to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If a company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount it is not required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. The first step of the process after the qualitative assessment fails is estimating the fair value of each of its reporting units based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model using revenue and profit forecast and a market approach which compares peer data and earnings multiples. The Company then compares those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which include allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. The determination of a reporting unit’s “implied fair value” of goodwill requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is then compared to its corresponding carrying value. The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the implied value of goodwill and/or the fair value of intangible assets. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on its customer base, and material adverse effects in relationships with significant customers. The impact of over-estimating or under-estimating the implied fair value of goodwill at any of the reporting units could have a material effect on the results of operations and financial position. In addition, the value of the implied goodwill is subject to the volatility of the Company’s operations which may result in significant fluctuation in the value assigned at any point in time. Refer to " Note H - Goodwill and Intangible Assets " for the results of the annual impairment tests. Deferred debt issuance costs Deferred debt issuance costs represent the costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments and are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument. The Company adopted new guidance effective January 1, 2016 that requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability rather than as an asset. Product Warranty Costs The Company recognizes warranty costs based on an estimate of the amounts required to meet future warranty obligations. The Company accrues an estimated liability for exposure to warranty claims at the time of a product sale based on both current and historical claim trends and warranty costs incurred. Warranty reserves are included within "Accrued expenses" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency Certain of the Company’s segments have operations outside the United States, and the local currency is typically the functional currency. The financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at year-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the year for results of operations. The resulting translation gain or loss is included in stockholder’s equity as other comprehensive income or loss. In 2015, the Company acquired a Canadian subsidiary, Manitoba Harvest, and is exposed to transactional foreign currency gains and losses related to the issuance of intercompany loans in the Canadian dollar, the functional currency of Manitoba Harvest. Foreign currency transactional gains and losses are included in the results of operations and are generally classified as Other Income (Expense). Derivatives and hedging The Company utilizes interest rate swaps (derivative) to manage risks related to interest rates on the term loan portion of their Credit Facility. The Company has not elected hedge accounting treatment for the existing interest rate derivatives entered into as part of the Credit Facility. Refer to " Note J - Debt " for more information on the Company’s Credit Facility. Noncontrolling interest Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of a majority-owned subsidiary’s net income that is owned by noncontrolling shareholders. Noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary owned by noncontrolling shareholders. Deferred income taxes Deferred income taxes are calculated under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes at the enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is expected to more likely than not be realized. Several of the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries have deferred tax assets recorded at December 31, 2016 which in total amount to approximately $45.4 million . This deferred tax asset is net of $7.3 million of valuation allowance primarily associated with net operating losses and foreign tax credits at Arnold and 5.11. These deferred tax assets are comprised primarily of reserves not currently deductible for tax purposes. The temporary differences that have resulted in the recording of these tax assets may be used to offset taxable income in future periods, reducing the amount of taxes required to be paid. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income at those subsidiaries with deferred tax assets. Based upon the expected future results of operations, the Company believes it is more likely than not that those subsidiaries with deferred tax assets will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the benefit of existing temporary differences, although there can be no assurance of this. The impact of not realizing these deferred tax assets would result in an increase in income tax expense for such period when the determination was made that the assets are not realizable. Earnings per share Basic and fully diluted earnings per share is computed using the two-class method which requires companies to allocate participating securities that have rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available only to common shareholders as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The Company has granted Allocation Interests that contain participating rights to receive profit allocations upon the occurrence of a Holding Event or a Sale Event. The calculation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of dividends that were declared and paid to the Holders subsequent to the termination of the Supplemental Put Agreement and the incremental increase in the profit allocation distribution to the Holders related to Holding Events during the period. The weighted average number of Trust common shares outstanding for fiscal 2016 was computed based on 54,300,000 shares outstanding for the period from January 1 st through December 13 th and 5,600,000 additional shares outstanding for the period from December 13 th through December 31 st . The weighted average number of Trust common shares outstanding for 2015 was computed based on 54,300,000 shares outstanding for the period from January 1 st through December 31 st . The weighted average number of Trust common shares outstanding for fiscal 2014 was computed based on 48,300,000 shares outstanding for the period from January 1st through November 14th and 6,000,000 additional shares outstanding from November 14th through December 31st issued in connection with a public share offering. The Company did not have any stock option plans or any other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs were $15.6 million , $11.8 million and $11.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Research and development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred research and development expense of $1.7 million , $2.1 million and $9.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Employee retirement plans The Company and many of its segments sponsor defined contribution retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans. Employee contributions to the plan are subject to regulatory limitations and the specific plan provisions. The Company and its segments may match these contributions up to levels specified in the plans and may make additional discretionary contributions as determined by management. The total employer contributions to these plans were $2.2 million , $1.8 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s Arnold Magnetics subsidiary maintains a defined benefit plan for certain of its employees which is more fully described in " Note M - Defined Benefit Plan ". Accounting guidelines require employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans as assets or liabilities in their consolidated balance sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur as a component of comprehensive income. Seasonality Earnings of certain of the Company’s operating segments are seasonal in nature. Earnings from Liberty are typically lowest in the second quarter due to lower demand for safes at the onset of summer. Earnings from Clean Earth are typically lower in the winter months due to lower levels of construction and development activity in the Northeastern United States. Sterno Products typically has higher sales in the second and fourth quarter of each year, reflecting the outdoor summer season and the holiday season. Stock based compensation The Company does not have a stock based compensation plan; however, all of the Company’s subsidiaries maintain stock based compensation plans. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, $4.4 million , $3.2 million , and $3.8 million of stock based compensation expense was recorded to each expense category that included related salary expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2016, the amount to be recorded for stock-based compensation expense in future years for unvested options is approximately $25.5 million . New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update to simplify the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring companies to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowances, as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Adoption of this standard is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance early, effective as of January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, which is permitted under the standard. At January 1, 2016, the Company had $6.1 million classified as current deferred tax assets which was reclassified to long-term deferred tax assets, and no amount classified as current deferred tax liabilities. In September 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard to simplify the accounting for measurement period adjustments in connection with business combinations by requiring that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard update is to be applied prospectively to adjustments of provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The amendment was effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. In August 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance which addresses the Security and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") comments related to the absence of authoritative guidance within the accounting standard update related to line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance cost ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings under the line of credit arrangement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Retrospective adoption is required. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 and has reclassified debt issuance costs associated with the Company's term debt of $4.6 million as of December 31, 2015, from long-term assets to long-term debt. Deferred debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company's revolving credit facility of $4.9 million at December 31, 2015 continues to be classified as a long-term asset. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step two of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the new guidance, a goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative test to determine if a quantitative test is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019 with early adoption permitted for any goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017 and will be applied prospectively. In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which updates the guidance as to how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classified within the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the accounting for leases which will require an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard update offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, the new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, this standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new guidance applies only to inventory that is determined by methods other than last-in-first-out and the retail inventory method. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this new accounting guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted. In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard. The new standard outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries, jurisdictions and capital markets and also requires enhanced disclosures. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company currently anticipates adopting the standard using the cumulative catch-up transition method. The Company has commenced its initial assessment to assess the impact, if any, the new revenue standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During this initial assessment, the Company has identified certain differences that will likely have the most impact; however, how significant of an impact cannot be determined during this phase of the Company’s implementation process. These differences relate to the new concepts of variable consideration, consideration payable and the focus on control to determine when and how revenue should be recognized (i.e. point in time versus over time). The Company expects to complete its initial assessment by the end of the third quarter of 2017 and expects to finalize its implementation process prior to the adoption of the new revenue standard on January 1, 2018. The Company will also continue to monitor for any additional implementation or other guidance that may be issued in 2017 with respect to the new revenue standard and adjust its assessment and implementation plans accordingly.

Acquisition of Businesses

Acquisition of Businesses	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition of Businesses	Acquisition of Businesses Acquisition of 5.11 Tactical On August 31, 2016, 5.11 ABR Merger Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of 5.11 ABR Corp. ("Parent"), which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into 5.11 Tactical, with 5.11 Tactical as the surviving entity, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger among Merger Sub, Parent, 5.11 Tactical, and TA Associates Management L.P. entered into on July 29, 2016. 5.11 Tactical is a is a leading provider of purpose-built tactical apparel and gear for law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, and military special operations as well as outdoor and adventure enthusiasts. 5.11 is a brand known for innovation and authenticity, and works directly with end users to create purpose-built apparel and gear designed to enhance the safety, accuracy, speed and performance of tactical professionals and enthusiasts worldwide. Headquartered in Irvine, California, 5.11 operates sales offices and distribution centers globally, and 5.11 products are widely distributed in uniform stores, military exchanges, outdoor retail stores, its own retail stores and on 511tactical.com. The Company made loans to, and purchased a 97.5% controlling interest in 5.11 ABR Corp.. The purchase price, including proceeds from noncontrolling interest and net of transaction costs, was approximately $408.2 million after final settlement of the working capital in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company funded its portion of the acquisition through an amendment to the 2014 Credit Facility that allowed for an increase in the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2016 Incremental Term Loan (refer to Note J - Debt ). 5.11 management invested in the transaction along with the Company, representing approximately 2.5% initial noncontrolling interest on a primary and fully diluted basis. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on the enterprise value of the acquired entity multiplied by the ratio of the number of shares acquired by the minority holders to total shares. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. CGM acted as an advisor to the Company in the acquisition and will continue to provide integration services during the first year of the Company's ownership of 5.11. CGM will receive integration service fees of $3.5 million payable quarterly over a twelve month period as services are rendered beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations of 5.11 have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. 5.11's results of operations are reported as a separate operating segment. The table below provides the recording of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. 5.11 Tactical (in thousands) Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date Assets: Cash $ 12,581 Accounts receivable (1) 38,323 Inventory (2) 160,304 Property, plant and equipment (3) 22,723 Intangible assets 127,890 Goodwill 92,966 Other current and noncurrent assets 4,884 Total assets $ 459,671 Liabilities and noncontrolling interest: Current liabilities $ 38,229 Other liabilities 180,231 Deferred tax liabilities 10,163 Noncontrolling interest 5,568 Total liabilities and noncontrolling interest $ 234,191 Net assets acquired $ 225,480 Noncontrolling interest 5,568 Intercompany loans to business 179,237 $ 410,285 Acquisition Consideration Purchase price $ 400,000 Working capital adjustment (2,296 ) Cash 12,581 Total purchase consideration $ 410,285 Less: Transaction costs 2,063 Purchase price, net $ 408,222 (1) Includes $40.1 million of gross contractual accounts receivable of which $1.7 million was not expected to be collected. The fair value of accounts receivable approximated book value acquired. (2) Includes $39.1 million in inventory basis step-up, which will be charged to cost of goods sold over the inventory turns of the acquired entity. (3) Includes $7.6 million of property, plant and equipment basis step-up. The Company incurred $2.1 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the 5.11 acquisition, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations in the year of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price presented above is based upon management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. 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 estimated at their historical carrying values. Property, plant and equipment is valued through a purchase price appraisal and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets 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 $93.0 million reflects the strategic fit of 5.11 in the Company's branded products business and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The purchase accounting for 5.11 was finalized during the fourth quarter of 2016, with the changes from the provisional purchase price allocation related to the settlement of working capital and the recording of a change in the deferred taxes related to a reduction of net operating loss carryforwards. The intangible assets recorded related to the 5.11 acquisition are as follows ( in thousands ): Intangible assets Amount Estimated Useful Life Trade name $ 48,665 15 years Customer relationships 75,218 15 years Technology 4,007 10 years $ 127,890 The customer relationships intangible asset was valued at $75.2 million using an excess earnings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent it enables its owners to earn a return in excess of the required returns on and of the other assets utilized in the business. Customer relationships intangible asset was derived using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The tradename intangible asset and the design patent technology asset were valued using a royalty savings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent that the ownership of the asset relieves the company from the obligation of paying royalties for the benefits generated by the asset. Acquisition of Manitoba Harvest On July 10, 2015, FHF Holdings Ltd., a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, and 1037269 B.C. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of FHF Holdings Ltd. (together, the "Buyer"), closed on the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Fresh Hemp Foods Ltd. ("Manitoba Harvest") pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the "Manitoba Harvest Purchase Agreement") among the Buyer, Manitoba Harvest, Mike Fata, as the Stockholders’ Representative and the Signing Stockholders (as such term is defined in the Manitoba Harvest Purchase Agreement), entered into previously on June 5, 2015. Subsequent to the closing, 1037269 B.C. Ltd. merged with and into Manitoba Harvest. Headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Manitoba Harvest is a branded, hemp-based food seller. Manitoba Harvest’s products are currently carried in approximately 7,000 retail stores across the U.S. and Canada. The Company’s hemp-exclusive, 100% all-natural product lineup includes hemp hearts, hemp oil and protein powder. The Company made loans to and purchased an 87% controlling interest in Manitoba Harvest. The purchase price, including proceeds from noncontrolling interest, was approximately $102.7 million (C $130.3 million ). The Company funded its portion of the acquisition price through drawings on its 2014 Revolving Credit Facility. Manitoba Harvest management and a minority shareholder invested in the transaction along with the Company representing approximately 13% initial noncontrolling interest on a primary basis. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on enterprise value of the acquired entity multiplied by the ratio number of shares acquired by the minority shareholders to total shares. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. CGM acted as an advisor to the Company in the acquisition and will continue to provide integration services during the first year of the Company's ownership of Manitoba Harvest. CGM received integration services fees of $1.0 million which was payable quarterly during the twelve month period subsequent to acquisition as services were rendered. The results of operations of Manitoba Harvest have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. Manitoba Harvest's results of operations are reported as a separate operating segment. The table below provides the recording of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Manitoba Harvest (in thousands) Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date Assets: Cash $ 164 Accounts receivable 3,787 Inventory (1) 8,743 Property, plant and equipment 8,203 Goodwill 37,882 Intangible assets 63,687 Other current and noncurrent assets 986 Total assets $ 123,452 Liabilities and noncontrolling interest: Current liabilities 3,267 Deferred tax liabilities 16,593 Other liabilities 23,332 Noncontrolling interest 7,638 Total liabilities and noncontrolling interest $ 50,830 Net assets acquired $ 72,622 Noncontrolling interest 7,638 Intercompany loans to business 23,593 $ 103,853 Acquisition Consideration Purchase price $ 104,437 Working capital adjustment (584 ) Total purchase consideration $ 103,853 Less: Transaction costs (1,145 ) Purchase price, net $ 102,708 (1) Includes $3.1 million of step-up in the basis of inventory, which was charged to cost of goods sold during 2015. The Company incurred $1.1 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the acquisition of Manitoba Harvest during the year ended December 31, 2015 which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The goodwill of $37.9 million , which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, reflects the strategic fit of Manitoba Harvest into the Company's branded products businesses. The values assigned to the identified intangible assets were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows associated with these assets to their present value. The intangible assets recorded in connection with the Manitoba Harvest acquisition are as follows (in thousands) : Intangible assets Amount Estimated Useful Life Tradename $ 13,005 Indefinite Technology and processes 9,616 10 years Customer relationships 41,066 15 years $ 63,687 Unaudited pro forma information The following unaudited pro forma data for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 gives effect to the acquisition of 5.11 Tactical and Manitoba Harvest, as described above, as if the acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 2015, and the sale of Tridien, CamelBak and AFM as if the dispositions had been completed as of January 1, 2015. The pro forma data gives effect to historical operating results with adjustments to interest expense, amortization and depreciation expense, management fees and related tax effects. The information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the transaction had been consummated on the date indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the consolidated companies, and should not be construed as representing results for any future period. Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2016 2015 Net revenues $ 1,163,773 $ 1,035,612 Gross profit 408,369 375,019 Operating income 20,028 56,711 Net income (loss) from continuing operations 43,973 (5,000 ) Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Holdings 42,013 (10,275 ) Basic and fully diluted net loss per share attributable to Holdings 0.28 (0.57 ) Other acquisitions Ergobaby On May 11, 2016, the Company's Ergobaby subsidiary acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in New Baby Tula LLC ("Baby Tula"), a maker of premium baby carriers, toddler carriers, slings, blankets and wraps. The purchase price was $73.8 million , net of transaction costs, plus a potential earn-out of $8.2 million based on 2017 financial performance. Ergobaby paid $0.8 million in transaction costs in connection with the acquisition. Ergobaby funded the acquisition and payment of related transaction costs through the issuance of an additional $68.2 million in intercompany loans with the Company, and the issuance of $8.2 million in Ergobaby shares to the selling shareholders. The fair value of the Ergobaby shares issued to the selling shareholders was determined based on a model that multiplies the trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by an estimated enterprise value multiple to determine an estimated fair value. The fair value calculation assumes proceeds from the conversion of outstanding stock options, deducts the carrying value of debt at Ergobaby and estimated selling costs of the entity, and divides the resulting amount by the total number of outstanding shares, including converted stock options, to determine a per share value for the stock issued. The Company funded the additional intercompany loans used for the acquisition with available cash on the balance sheet and a draw on the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility. Ergobaby recorded a purchase price allocation of $13.2 million in goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, $55.3 million in intangible assets comprised of $52.9 million in finite lived tradenames, $1.7 million in non-compete agreements; and $0.7 million in customer relationships, and $4.8 million in inventory step-up. The inventory step-up has been charged to cost of goods sold during the third and fourth quarters of 2016. In addition, the earn-out provision of the purchase price was allocated a fair value of $3.8 million . The remainder of the purchase consideration was allocated to net assets acquired. The Company finalized the purchase accounting for the Baby Tula acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity Method Investment	Deconsolidation of FOX On August 13, 2013, the Company's FOX operating segment completed an initial public offering (the "FOX IPO") of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In the FOX IPO, FOX sold 2,857,143 shares and certain of its shareholders sold 7,000,000 shares (including 5,800,238 shares held by the Company) at an initial offering price of $15.00 per share. FOX trades on the NASDAQ stock market under the ticker “FOXF”. The Company received approximately $80.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of their shares. The Company’s ownership interest in FOX was reduced from 75.8% to 53.9% on a primary basis and from 70.6% to 49.8% on a fully diluted basis as a result of the FOX IPO. On July 10, 2014, FOX filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a public offering of its common stock (the "FOX Secondary Offering") held by certain stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders"). The Selling Stockholders sold 5,750,000 shares of FOX common stock in the FOX Secondary Offering, which included an underwriters' option to purchase an additional 750,000 shares, at an offering price of $15.50 per share. The Company sold 4,466,569 shares of FOX common stock, including 633,955 shares sold in connection with the underwriters' exercise of their full option to purchase additional shares of common stock, and received net proceeds from the sale of approximately $65.5 million . As a result of the sale of the shares by the Company in the FOX Secondary Offering, the Company's ownership interest in FOX decreased to approximately 41% , which resulted in the deconsolidation of the FOX operating segment in the Company's consolidated financial statements effective as of the date of the FOX Secondary Offering. As a result of the deconsolidation of FOX subsequent to the FOX Secondary Offering, the Company recognized a total gain of approximately $264.3 million . The $264.3 million gain on the deconsolidation of FOX was comprised of a gain related to the retained interest in FOX of $188.0 million that was calculated based on the fair value of the Company's retained interest of approximately 41% in FOX less the retained interest in the net assets of FOX as of the date of consolidation, and $76.2 million related to the sold interest in FOX. Subsequent to the sale of the shares in the FOX Secondary Offering, the Company owned approximately 15.1 million shares of FOX common stock. The Company has made an irrevocable election to account for the investment in FOX at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company elected to apply fair value accounting to these investments because it believes that fair value is the most relevant measurement attribute for these investments. Investment in FOX In March 2016, FOX closed on a secondary public offering of 2,500,000 shares of FOX common shares held by the Company. Concurrently with the closing of the March Offering, FOX repurchased 500,000 shares of FOX common stock held by the Company. As a result of the sale of shares through the March Offering and the repurchase of shares by FOX, the Company sold a total of 3,000,000 shares of FOX common stock, with total net proceeds of approximately $47.7 million . Upon completion of the March Offering and repurchase of shares by FOX, the Company's ownership interest in FOX was reduced from approximately 41% to 33% . In August 2016, FOX closed on a secondary public offering of 4,025,000 shares held by certain FOX shareholders, including the Company. The Company sold a total of 3,500,000 shares of FOX common stock in the August Offering, for total net proceeds of $63.0 million . Upon completion of the August offering, our ownership of FOX decreased from approximately 33% to approximately 23% . In November 2016, FOX closed on a secondary offering of 3,500,000 shares of FOX common stock held by the Company, for total net proceeds of $71.8 million . Upon completion of the August offering, our ownership of FOX decreased from approximately 23% to approximately 14% . The Company accounted for its investment in FOX after its ownership interest fell below 50% on July 10, 2014 using the fair value option for equity method investment. The Company uses the equity method of accounting when it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. After the offering of FOX shares in November 2016, the Company's ownership interest was reduced to 14.0% and the Company's investment no longer qualified for the equity method of accounting for investments since the Company no longer had the ability to exercise significant influence. Since the Company chose to use the fair value option to account for the FOX investment, changes in the fair value of the investment will continue to be recorded through the consolidated statement of operations. The sale of a portion of the Company's FOX shares in March 2016, August 2016 and November 2016 qualified as a Sale Event under the Company's LLC Agreement. During the second quarter, the Company's board of directors declared a distribution to the Holders of the Allocation Interests of $8.6 million in connection with the sale of FOX shares in March 2016. The profit allocation payment was made during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The Company's board of directors declared a distribution to the Holders of the Allocation Interests of $11.6 million in connection with the sale of FOX shares in August 2016. That payment was made, offset by negative profit allocation related to the Sale Event from the Tridien disposition, in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company's board of directors declared a distribution to the Holders of the Allocation Interests of $13.4 million related to the November 2016 sale of FOX shares in the fourth quarter of 2016. The amount of the distribution was accrued at December 31, 2016 in the line Due to Related Party in the consolidated Balance Sheet, and paid in January 2017. The following table reflects the year to date activity from our investment in FOX for 2016 and 2015: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 Balance January 1st $ 249,747 $ 245,214 Proceeds from sale of FOX shares, net - March 2016 (47,685 ) — Proceeds from sale of FOX shares, net - August 2016 (63,000 ) — Proceeds from sale of FOX shares, net - November 2016 (71,785 ) — Mark to market adjustment on investment (1) 74,490 4,533 Balance December 31st $ 141,767 $ 249,747 (1) The mark-to-market adjustment is the result of the fair value changes of the FOX investment during the year.

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the investment in FOX did not meet the significance criteria. As such, the Company was not required to present separate financial statements for FOX.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the difference between purchase cost and the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Indefinite lived intangible assets, representing trademarks and trade names, are not amortized unless their useful life is determined to be finite. Long-lived intangible assets are subject to amortization using the straight-line method. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of March 31 st of each year and more often if a triggering event occurs, by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Each of the Company’s businesses represents a reporting unit except Arnold, which is comprised of three reporting units. 2016 Interim goodwill impairment testing Arnold As a result of decreases in forecasted revenue, operating income and cash flows at Arnold, as well as a shortfall in revenue and operating income during the latter half of 2016 as compared to budgeted amounts, the Company determined that it was necessary to perform interim goodwill impairment testing on each of the three reporting units at Arnold. The Company performed the first step ("Step 1") of the goodwill impairment assessment at December 31, 2016. In Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compared the fair value of the reporting units to the carrying amount. Based on the results of the valuation, the fair value of the FlexMag and PTM reporting units exceeded the carrying amount, therefore no additional goodwill testing was required. The results of the Step 1 test for the PMAG unit indicated a potential impairment of goodwill and the Company performed the second step of goodwill impairment testing (Step 2) to determine the amount of impairment of the PMAG reporting unit. In the first test of goodwill impairment testing, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. For purposes of the Step 1 for the Arnold reporting units, we estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach, whereby we estimate the fair value of a 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 and reporting unit 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 specific characteristics and the uncertainty associated with the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. For the step 1 quantitative impairment testing for Arnold's reporting units, we used only an income approach because we determined that the guideline public company comparables for PMAG, FlexMag and PTM were not representative of these reporting three reporting units. In the income approach, we used a weighted average cost of capital of 12.5% for PMAG, 12.0% for Flexmag and 13% for PTM. The Step 2 goodwill impairment test of the PMAG reporting unit has not been completed. The Company has estimated a range of impairment loss of $14 million to $19 million based on the value of the total invested capital of the PMAG unit as well as the results of the Step 1 testing of the fair value of PMAG. The Company recorded an estimated impairment loss for PMAG of $16 million at December 31, 2016. The Step 2 test for PMAG is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2017 and the Company will record any necessary adjustments to the impairment loss estimate based on the results of the final testing. 2016 Annual goodwill 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 the two-step 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. At March 31, 2016, we determined that the Tridien reporting unit (which is reported as a discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements after the sale of the reporting unit in September 2016) required further quantitative testing (Step 1) because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. Results of the Step 1 quantitative testing of Tridien indicated that the fair value of Tridien exceeded its carrying value. For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value of those reporting units exceeded their carrying value. 2016 Indefinite Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing The Company uses 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 reporting unit that maintains indefinite lived intangible assets in connection with the annual impairment testing for 2016. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names with a carrying value of approximately $72.2 million at December 31, 2016. The results of the qualitative analysis of our indefinite lived intangible assets, which we completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, indicated that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value. 2015 Annual goodwill impairment testing The Company used a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment for the 2015 annual impairment test. At March 31, 2015, we determined that Liberty and two of the three reporting units at Arnold, PMAG and Flexmag , required further quantitative testing (step 1) because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting units exceeds their carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value of those reporting units exceeded their carrying value. In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using either an income approach or a market approach, or, where applicable, a weighting of the two methods. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of a 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 specific characteristics 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 and investment characteristics that are similar to the reporting unit. We weigh the fair value derived from the market approach depending on the level of comparability of these public companies 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. For the step 1 quantitative impairment test at Liberty, we utilized both the income approach and the market approach, with a 50% weighting assigned to each method. The weighted average cost of capital used in the income approach at Liberty was 13.8% . For the step 1 quantitative impairment test at the PMAG and Flexmag reporting units of Arnold, we used only an income approach as we determined that the guideline public company comparables for both units were not representative of these reporting units' markets. In the income approach, we used a weighted average cost of capital of 13.6% for PMAG and 14.6% for Flexmag. Results of the quantitative testing of the Liberty reporting unit and Arnold's PMAG and Flexmag reporting units indicated that the fair value of these reporting units exceeded their carrying value. 2015 Indefinite Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing 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 $72.3 million at December 31, 2015. Results of the qualitative analysis indicate that the carrying value of the Company’s indefinite lived intangible assets did not exceed their fair value. 2014 Annual Goodwill Impairment Testing At March 31, 2014, the Company elected to use the qualitative assessment alternative to test goodwill for impairment for each of the reporting units that maintain a goodwill carrying value. The Company determined that two of Arnold’s three reporting units required further quantitative testing (Step 1) since the Company could not conclude that the fair value of Arnold’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values based solely on qualitative factors. Results of the quantitative analysis indicated that the fair value of these reporting units exceeds their carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology ("DCF") on both an income and market approach for the Flexmag reporting unit and the income approach for Precision Thin Metals reporting unit. A representative market does not exist for Precision Thin metals. The DCF utilized a weighted average cost of capital of 12.5% for Flexmag and 14.5% for Precision Thin Metals. Results of the quantitative analysis indicated that the fair value of these reporting units exceeds their carrying value at March 31, 2014. 2014 Indefinite Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing At March 31, 2014, the Company elected to use the qualitative assessment alternative to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment for each of the reporting units that maintain indefinite lived intangible assets. The optional qualitative assessment permits an entity to consider events and circumstances that could affect the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and avoid the quantitative test if the entity is able to support a conclusion that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consisted of trade names with a carrying value of approximately $147.6 million at March 31, 2014. Results of the qualitative analysis indicate that the fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value. Long lived assets Orbit Baby During the second quarter of 2016, Ergobaby's board of directors approved a plan to dispose of the Orbit Baby product line. Ergobaby determined at the time the plan was approved that the carrying value of the long lived assets associated with the Orbit Baby product line was not recoverable, and therefore, Ergobaby recorded a loss on disposal of assets of $5.9 million related to the write off of the long-lived assets of Orbit Baby. The loss is comprised of the write-off of intangible assets of $5.5 million , property, plant and equipment of $0.4 million . Ergobaby received approximately $1.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2016 related to the sale of certain assets of the Orbit Baby product line, which reduced the loss on disposal. Clean Earth Clean Earth recognized a loss on disposal of assets of $3.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2016 related to the closure of the Clean Earth’s Williamsport, Pennsylvania site which processed drill cuttings. The loss was comprised of intangible assets specific to the Williamsport location ( $1.9 million ), as well as equipment ( $1.4 million ) that could not be repurposed to other sites at the time of the closing of the facility.

(3) Represents put options issued to noncontrolling shareholders in connection with the Liberty acquisition. A reconciliation of the change in the carrying value of the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows ( in thousands ): 2016 2015 Balance at January 1st $ (50 ) $ (50 ) Contingent consideration - NII (1,500 ) — Contingent consideration - Baby Tula (3,780 ) — Put option issued to noncontrolling shareholder - 5.11 (50 ) — Payment of contingent consideration - NII 450 — Increase in the fair value of put option of noncontrolling shareholders - Liberty (80 ) — Balance at December 31st $ (5,010 ) $ (50 ) Valuation Techniques Investment in FOX The investment in FOX is measured at fair value using the closing price of FOX's shares on the NASDAQ stock exchange as of the last business day in the reporting period. Since the FOX shares are traded on a public stock exchange, the fair value measurement is categorized as Level I. Options of noncontrolling shareholders: The put options of noncontrolling shareholders were determined based on inputs that were not readily available in public markets or able to be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. As such, the Company categorized the put options of the noncontrolling shareholders as Level 3. The primary inputs associated with this valuation are earnings before interest, taxes amortization and depreciation times a multiple established in the shareholder put option agreement, which is used to determine a per share equity value for the shares that can be put back to the Company. The per share equity value of the Liberty put option is discounted for liquidity and marketability, as well as a the probability of a triggering event. An increase or decrease in these primary inputs would not have a material impact on the determination of the fair value of these put options. As a result of the Liberty recapitalization (refer to " Note O - Noncontrolling Interest " for a description of the transaction), the number of shares that can be put back to the Company by the noncontrolling shareholders increased, resulting in an increase in the fair value of the put option. Interest rate swap: The Company’s derivative instruments at December 31, 2016 consisted of over-the-counter interest rate swap contracts which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts were determined based on inputs that were readily available in public markets or could be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. As such, the Company categorized the swaps as Level 2. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap liability during the year ended December 31, 2016 were expensed to interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. Refer to " Note K - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ". Contingent Consideration: Sterno Products entered into a contingent consideration arrangement associated with the purchase of NII in January 2016. The earnout provision provides for payments up to $1.8 million over a two year period subsequent to acquisition. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is the performance target defined and measured to determine the earnout payment due, if any, after each defined measurement period. The contingent consideration was valued at $1.5 million using probability weighted models. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, Sterno paid $0.5 million of the contingent consideration. At December 31, 2016, Sterno determined that it was more likely than not that the full amount of the contingent consideration would be paid out, and recorded an additional $0.4 million in earnout, which was recorded though the statement of operations. In connection with the acquisition of Baby Tula in May 2016, Ergobaby entered into a contingent consideration arrangement with the sellers. The earnout provision provides for additional consideration of $8.2 million if the gross profit for Baby Tula for the 2017 fiscal year exceeds a specified level. No earnout amount will be paid if the specified gross profit level is not met. Ergobaby valued the contingent consideration at a fair value of $3.8 million using a probability weighted option pricing model. At December 31, 2016, Ergobaby determined that the fair value of the liability was appropriate. 2014 Term Loan and 2016 Incremental Term Loan At December 31, 2016, the carrying value of the principal under the Company's outstanding 2014 Term Loan, including the current portion, was $565.7 million , which approximates fair value because it has a variable interest rate that reflects market changes in interest rates and changes in the Company's net leverage ratio. The estimated fair value of the outstanding 2014 Term Loan is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2016 ( in thousands ). Refer to " Note H – Goodwill and Intangibles ", for a description of the valuation techniques used to determine fair value of the assets measured on a non-recurring basis in the table below.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt 2014 Credit Agreement On June 6, 2014, the Company obtained a $725 million credit facility from a group of lenders (the “2014 Credit Facility”) led by Bank of America N.A. as Administrative Agent. The 2014 Credit Facility provides for (i) a revolving credit facility of $400 million (the “2014 Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a $325 million term loan (the “2014 Term Loan Facility”). The 2014 Credit Facility permits the Company to increase the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility commitment and/ or obtain additional term loans in an aggregate of up to $200 million . The 2014 Credit Agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company, including all of its equity interests in, and loans to, its consolidated subsidiaries. The 2014 Credit Facility was amended in June 2015, primarily to allow for intercompany loans to, and the acquisition of, Canadian-based companies on an unsecured basis, and to modify provisions that would allow for early termination of a "Leverage Increase Period," thereby providing additional flexibility as to the timing of subsequent acquisitions. On August 15, 2016, the Company amended the 2014 Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the aggregate amount of the 2014 Credit Facility by $400 million . On August 31, 2016, the Company entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement (the "Incremental Facility Amendment"). The Incremental Facility Amendment provided for an increase to the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility of $150 million , and the 2016 Incremental Term Loan, in the amount of $250 million . As a result of the Incremental Facility Amendment, the 2014 Credit Facility currently provides for (i) a revolving credit facility of $550 million (as amended from time to time, the "2014 Revolving Credit Facility"), (ii) a $325 million term loan (the "2014 Term Loan Facility"), and (iii) a $250 million incremental term loan "the "2016 Incremental Term Loan"). 2014 Revolving Credit Facility The 2014 Revolving Credit Facility will become due in June 2019. The Company can borrow, prepay and re-borrow principal under the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility from time to time during its term. Advances under the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility can be either LIBOR rate loans or base rate loans. LIBOR rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (the “LIBOR Rate”) plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% based on the ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to adjusted consolidated earnings before interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization expenses (the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio”). Base rate revolving loans bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate of interest, or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% (the “Base Rate”), plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. 2014 Term Loan Facility The 2014 Term Loan Facility expires in June 2021 and requires quarterly payments that commenced September 30, 2014, with a final payment of all remaining principal and interest due on June 6, 2021. The 2014 Term Loan Facility was issued at an original issue discount of 99.5% of par value and bears interest at either the applicable LIBOR Rate plus 3.25% per annum, or Base Rate plus 2.25% per annum. The LIBOR Rate applicable to both base rate loans and LIBOR rate loans shall in no event be less than 1.00% at any time. 2016 Incremental Term Loan The 2016 Incremental Term Loan was issued at an original issue discount of 99.25% of par value. The Company incurred $6.0 million in additional debt issuance costs related to the Incremental Credit Facility, which will be recognized as expense during the remaining term of the related 2014 Revolving Credit Facility, and 2014 Term Loan and 2016 Incremental Term Loan. The Incremental Facility Amendment did not change the due dates or applicable interest rates of the 2014 Credit Agreement. The quarterly payments for the term advances under the 2014 Credit Agreement increased to approximately $1.4 million per quarter. The Company used the proceeds from the Incremental Facility Amendment to fund the acquisition of 5.11 Tactical (refer to Note C - "Acquisitions "). Other The 2014 Credit Facility provides for sub-facilities under the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to which an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million in letters of credit may be issued, as well as swing line loans of up to $25.0 million outstanding at one time. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swing line loan reduces the amount available under the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company will pay (i) commitment fees on the unused portion of the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility ranging from 0.45% to 0.60% per annum based on its Consolidated Leverage Ratio, (ii) quarterly letter of credit fees, and (iii) administrative and agency fees. Debt Issuance Costs Deferred debt issuance costs represent the costs associated with the entering into the 2014 Credit Facility as well as the issuance costs associated with the August 2016 Incremental Facility Amendment and are amortized over the term of the related debt instrument. Since the Company can borrow, repay and re-borrow principal under the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility, the debt issuance costs associated with this facility have been classified as other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs associated with the 2014 Term Loan and 2016 Incremental Term Loan are classified as a reduction of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company paid debt issuance costs of $7.3 million in connection with the 2014 Credit Facility (of which $0.2 million was expensed as debt modification and extinguishment costs and $7.1 million is being amortized over the term of the related debt in the 2014 Credit Facility) and recorded additional debt modification and extinguishment costs of $2.1 million to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs associated with the Company's prior credit facility. The Company paid $6.0 million in debt issuance costs in connection with the 2016 Incremental Facility Amendment. The following table summarizes debt issuance costs at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the balance sheet classification in each of the periods presents ( in thousands ): December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Deferred debt issuance costs $ 18,960 $ 12,974 Accumulated amortization (6,248 ) (3,508 ) Deferred debt issuance costs, net $ 12,712 $ 9,466 Balance sheet classification: Other noncurrent assets $ 4,698 $ 4,863 Long-term debt 8,014 4,603 $ 12,712 $ 9,466 Covenants The Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and restrictive covenants arising under the 2014 Credit Facility.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the 2014 Credit Facility, the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility may be terminated, the 2014 Term Loan Facility and all outstanding loans and other obligations under the 2014 Credit Facility may become immediately due and payable and any letters of credit then outstanding may be required to be cash collateralized, and the Agent and the Lenders may exercise any rights or remedies available to them under the 2014 Credit Facility. Any such event would materially impair the Company’s ability to conduct its business. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement. Letters of credit The 2014 Credit Facility allows for letters of credit in an aggregate face amount of up to $100.0 million .

For the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized approximately $156.3 million and $111.6 million , respectively in deferred tax liabilities. A significant portion of the balance in deferred tax liabilities reflects temporary differences in the basis of property and equipment and intangible assets related to the Company’s purchase accounting adjustments in connection with the acquisition of certain of its businesses. For financial accounting purposes the Company has recognized a significant increase in the fair values of the intangible assets and property and equipment in certain of the businesses it acquired. For income tax purposes the existing, pre-acquisition tax basis of the intangible assets and property and equipment is utilized. In order to reflect the increase in the financial accounting basis over the existing tax basis, a deferred tax liability was recorded. This liability will decrease in future periods as these temporary differences reverse but may be replaced by deferred tax liabilities generated as a result of future acquisitions. A valuation allowance relating to the realization of foreign tax credits and net operating losses of $7.3 million was provided at December 31, 2016 and $1.3 million was provided at December 31, 2015. A valuation allowance is provided whenever it is more likely than not that some or all of deferred assets recorded may not be realized. The reconciliation between the Federal Statutory Rate and the effective income tax rate for 2016, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 United States Federal Statutory Rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % State income taxes (net of Federal benefits) 0.6 6.5 (1.0 ) Foreign income taxes 1.5 1.2 (0.3 ) Expenses of Compass Group Diversified Holdings, LLC representing a pass through to shareholders (1) 3.6 29.1 2.3 Effect of (gain) loss on equity method investment (41.2 ) (6.6 ) (1.4 ) Effect of deconsolidation of subsidiary (2) — — (33.6 ) Impact of subsidiary employee stock options 1.3 1.3 — Domestic production activities deduction (0.9 ) (3.2 ) (0.3 ) Non-deductible acquisition costs 1.9 — 0.1 Effect of undistributed foreign earnings (3) 4.2 — — Non-recognition of NOL carryforwards at subsidiaries 3.6 (6.1 ) 0.5 Other 5.4 5.3 0.5 Effective income tax rate 15.0 % 62.5 % 1.8 % (1) The effective income tax rate for each of the years presented includes losses at the Company’s parent, which is taxed as a partnership. (2) The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes a significant gain at the Company's parent related to the deconsolidation of FOX in July 2014. (3) During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, management changed the previously asserted position that Arnold planned to permanently reinvest foreign earnings of controlled foreign corporations. The principal reason for changing our position is management's plan to repatriate excess foreign cash at Arnold to pay down intercompany debt at the Company. A reconciliation of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for 2016, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in thousands): Balance at January 1, 2014 $ 7,960 Additions for current years’ tax positions 19 Additions for prior years’ tax positions 141 Reductions for prior years’ tax positions (1) (7,620 ) Reductions for settlements — Reductions for expiration of statute of limitations (67 ) Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 433 Additions for current years’ tax positions 73 Additions for prior years’ tax positions — Reductions for prior years’ tax positions (15 ) Reductions for settlements — Reductions for expiration of statute of limitations (102 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 389 Additions for current years’ tax positions 64 Additions for prior years’ tax positions (2) 10,150 Reductions for prior years’ tax positions (16 ) Reductions for settlements — Reductions for expiration of statute of limitations (87 ) Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 10,500 (1) $7.6 million of the reduction for prior year tax positions relates to the deconsolidation of FOX in July 2014. (2) The increase in prior year tax positions during the year ended December 31, 2016 relates to an unrecognized tax benefit at the Company's 5.11 business, which was acquired in September 2016. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2016 and 2015 is $10.4 million and $0.2 million , respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The amounts accrued at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are not material to the Company. Such amounts are included in the provision (benefit) for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The change in the unrecognized tax benefit during 2016 resulted from the acquisition of 5.11. The change in the unrecognized tax benefit during 2015 was not material. The change in 2014 in the unrecognized tax benefits resulted from the deconsolidation of FOX. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months. However, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position. Each of the Company’s businesses file U.S. Federal, state and foreign income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2012 through 2016 tax years generally remain subject to examinations by the taxing authorities.

Stockholder's Equity	Stockholder’s Equity Trust Common Shares The Trust is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Trust common shares and the Company is authorized to issue a corresponding number of LLC interests. The Company will, at all times, have the identical number of LLC interests outstanding as Trust shares. Each Trust share represents an undivided beneficial interest in the Trust, and each Trust share is entitled to one vote per share on any matter with respect to which members of the Company are entitled to vote. Trust Preferred Shares Pursuant to the Trust agreement, the Trust is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 Trust preferred shares and the Company is authorized to issue a corresponding number of Trust Interests. As of December 31, 2016, the trust had no preferred shares outstanding. Secondary Offering In December 2016, the Company completed an offering of 5,600,000 Trust common shares at an offering price of $18.65 per share. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the underwriter's discount and offering costs, totaled approximately $99.4 million . 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 is 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 Manager, as the original holder of the Allocation Interests, previously had the right to cause the Company to purchase the Allocation Interests upon termination of the MSA in accordance with a Supplemental Put Agreement. On July 1, 2013, the Company and the Manager amended the MSA to provide for certain modifications related to the Manager’s registration as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisor’s Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisor’s Act”). In connection with the amendment resulting from the Managers’ registration as an investment advisor under the Advisor’s Act, the Company and the Manager agreed to terminate the Supplemental Put Agreement. In connection with the termination of the Supplemental Put Agreement, on June 27, 2013, the Manager assigned 100% of the Allocation Interests to Sostratus LLC. The Company historically recorded the obligation associated with the Supplemental Put agreement as a liability that represented the amount the Company would have to pay to physically settle the purchase of the Allocation Interests upon termination of the MSA. As a result of the termination of the Supplemental Put Agreement, the Company currently 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 following is a summary of the profit allocation payments made to the Allocation Interest Holders during each of the year ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014: Year ended December 31, 2016 • $8.6 million paid in the second quarter as a result of a Sale Event related to the sale of FOX shares in March 2016 (refer to " Note F - Investment "); • $8.2 million paid in the third quarter as a result of the five year ownership holding period of our ACI business.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Noncontrolling Interest	Noncontrolling Interest Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of a majority-owned subsidiary’s net income and equity that is owned by noncontrolling shareholders. The following tables reflect the Company’s percentage ownership of its businesses, as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and related noncontrolling interest balances as of December 31, 2016 and 2015: % Ownership (1) December 31, 2016 % Ownership (1) December 31, 2015 % Ownership (1) December 31, 2014 Primary Fully Diluted Primary Fully Diluted Primary Fully Diluted 5.11 Tactical 97.5 85.1 n/a n/a n/a n/a Ergobaby 83.5 76.9 81.0 74.2 81.0 74.3 Liberty 88.6 84.7 96.2 84.6 96.2 84.8 Manitoba Harvest 76.6 65.6 76.6 65.6 n/a n/a ACI 69.4 69.3 69.4 69.3 69.4 69.3 Arnold Magnetics 96.7 84.7 96.7 87.3 96.7 87.5 Clean Earth 97.5 79.8 97.5 86.2 97.9 86.2 Sterno Products 100.0 89.5 100.0 89.7 100.0 91.7 (1) The principal difference between primary and fully diluted percentages of our operating segments is due to stock option issuances of operating segment stock to management of the respective business.

The ACI loan agreement was amended to provide for additional term loan borrowings of $61.0 million to fund a cash distribution to shareholders totaling $60.1 million . Minority interest shareholders of Advanced Circuits, including certain members of management at Advanced Circuits, received total distribution proceeds of $18.4 million . The Company used cash on hand to fund the distribution to minority shareholders. Liberty Recapitalization During the first quarter of 2016, the Company completed a recapitalization at Liberty whereby the Company entered into an amendment to the intercompany loan agreement with Liberty (the “Liberty Loan Agreement”). The Liberty Loan Agreement was amended to (i) provide for term loan borrowings of $38.0 million and revolving credit facility borrowings of $5.0 million to fund cash distributions totaling $35.3 million to its shareholders, including the Company, and (ii) extend the maturity dates of the term loans and revolving credit facility. Liberty’s noncontrolling shareholders received approximately $5.3 million in distributions as a result of the recapitalization. Immediately prior to the recapitalization, management exercised stock options for 75,095 shares of Liberty common shares, resulting in net proceeds from stock options at Liberty of $3.8 million . Liberty recognized $0.3 million in compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of a portion of management's stock options at the time of exercise. The Company then purchased $1.5 million in Liberty common shares from members of Liberty management, resulting in Liberty's noncontrolling shareholders holding 11.4% of Liberty's outstanding shares subsequent to the recapitalization. The purchase of the Liberty common stock from noncontrolling shareholders and issuance of Liberty common stock related to the exercise of stock options by noncontrolling shareholders were at fair value and resulted in no change in control of Liberty. The difference between the consideration paid for the noncontrolling interest and the adjustment to the carrying amount of the Company's noncontrolling interest in Liberty was recognized in the Company's equity. Subsequent to the purchase of Liberty common shares and the exercise of the options, the Company owns 88.6% of Liberty on a primary basis and 84.7% on a fully diluted basis. Ergobaby Share Issuance In connection with the Ergobaby acquisition of Baby Tula in May 2016, Ergobaby issued shares of their stock valued at $8.2 million to the selling shareholders (refer to Note C - Acquisitions for the methodology used to determine the value of the shares at issuance). Subsequent to the issuance of the shares, the Company's ownership interest in Ergobaby was 77.9% on a primary basis and 71.2% on a fully diluted basis. Ergobaby Share Repurchase In June 2016, Ergobaby repurchased 77,425 shares of Ergobaby common stock from certain noncontrolling interest shareholders for a total purchase price of $15.4 million . Ergobaby financed the repurchase of shares with an increase to the intercompany debt facility with the Company. The difference between the consideration paid for the noncontrolling interest and the adjustment to the carrying amount of the Company's noncontrolling interest in Ergobaby was recognized in the Company's equity. Subsequent to the repurchase, the Company's ownership interest in Ergobaby was 83.9% on a primary basis and 76.2% on a fully diluted basis. The repurchased shares have been accounted for as treasury shares by Ergobaby. Ergobaby Share Issuance and Share Repurchase In December 2016, an Ergobaby employee exercised stock options resulting in the issuance of 10,989 shares of Ergobaby common stock. Ergobaby then repurchased 6,204 of these shares from the employee for a total purchase price of $1.4 million . The difference between the consideration paid for the noncontrolling interest and the adjustment to the carrying amount of the Company's noncontrolling interest in Ergobaby was recognized in the Company's equity. Subsequent to the option exercise and repurchase, the Company's ownership interest in Ergobaby was 83.5% on a primary basis and 76.9% on a fully diluted basis. The repurchased shares have been accounted for as treasury shares by Ergobaby.

The acquisition of businesses that the Company owns or controls more than a 50% share of the voting interest are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The amount assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is based on the estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder, if any, recorded as goodwill.
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations The Company completed the sale of its majority owned subsidiary, Tridien Medical, Inc. ("Tridien") during the third quarter of 2016, the sale of its majority owned subsidiary CamelBak Products, LLC ("CamelBak") in the third quarter of 2015 and the sale of its majority owned subsidiary, American Furniture Manufacturing, Inc. ("AFM" or "American Furniture"), during the fourth quarter of 2015. The results of operations of Tridien are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The results of operations of CamelBak and American Furniture are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. In addition, the assets and liabilities associated with Tridien have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015. Refer to "Note D - Discontinued Operations" for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosures accompanying the consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's continuing operations.
Use of Estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. It is possible that in 2017 actual conditions could be better or worse than anticipated when the Company developed the estimates and assumptions, which could materially affect the results of operations and financial position in the future. Such changes could result in future impairment of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets, inventory obsolescence, establishment of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and increased tax liabilities, among other things. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Termination of Supplemental Put Agreement	At the time of the Company's Initial Public Offering, the Company issued Allocation Interests governed by the LLC agreement that entitle the holders (the "Holders") to receive distributions pursuant to a profit allocation formula upon the occurrence of certain events. The Holders are entitled to receive and as such can elect to receive the positive contribution based profit allocation payment for each of the business acquisitions during the 30-day period following the fifth anniversary of the date upon which the Company acquired a controlling interest in that business (Holding Event) and upon the sale of that business (Sale Event). Payments of profit allocation to the Holders are accounted for as dividends declared on Allocation Interests and recorded in stockholders' equity once they are approved by our Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue recognition The Company records revenue for goods and services when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or performance of services has occurred, and collectability of the fixed or determinable sales price is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product to the customer or performance of services for a customer, net of sales returns and allowances. Appropriate reserves are established for anticipated returns and allowances based on historical experience. Shipping and handling costs are charged to operations when incurred and are generally classified as a component of cost of sales. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue is typically recorded at F.O.B. shipping point for all of our businesses. Service revenue Revenue from the Company's Clean Earth business is recognized as services are rendered, generally when material is received at Clean Earth's facilities.
Cash Equivalents	Cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our subsidiaries in foreign bank accounts was $16.7 million and $10.9 million , respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for doubtful accounts The Company uses estimates to determine the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts in order to reduce accounts receivable to their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates the amount of the required allowance by reviewing the status of past-due receivables and analyzing historical bad debt trends. The Company’s estimate also includes analyzing existing economic conditions. When the Company becomes aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, the Company will record an allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduce the net receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collectible. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, manufactured goods and purchased goods acquired for resale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and indirect overhead. Market value is based on current replacement cost for raw materials and supplies and on net realizable value for finished goods.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. The cost of major additions or betterments is capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. The ranges of useful lives are as follows: Buildings and improvements 15 to 25 years Machinery and equipment 2 to 20 years Office furniture, computers and software 2 to 8 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or lease term Property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets that have definitive lives are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable (‘triggering event’). Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the asset is reviewed to assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset plus residual value from the ultimate disposal exceeds the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the asset is written down to its fair value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair value of financial instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. Term Debt with a carrying value of $561.0 million , net of original issue discount, at December 31, 2016 approximated fair value. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, the Term Debt would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Business Combinations	Business combinations The Company allocates the amount it pays for each acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets which arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The Company bases the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management, which consider management’s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. The Company allocates any excess purchase price that exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired to goodwill. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated growth rates, cash flows, discount rates and estimated useful lives could result in different purchase price allocations and amortization expense in current and future periods. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions are expensed as incurred through selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations. In those circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments expected to be made as of the acquisition date. The Company re-measures this liability each reporting period and records changes in the fair value through a separate line item within the consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is required to perform impairment reviews at each of its reporting units annually and more frequently in certain circumstances. In accordance with accounting guidelines, the Company is able to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If a company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount it is not required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. The first step of the process after the qualitative assessment fails is estimating the fair value of each of its reporting units based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model using revenue and profit forecast and a market approach which compares peer data and earnings multiples. The Company then compares those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which include allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. The determination of a reporting unit’s “implied fair value” of goodwill requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is then compared to its corresponding carrying value. The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the implied value of goodwill and/or the fair value of intangible assets. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on its customer base, and material adverse effects in relationships with significant customers. The impact of over-estimating or under-estimating the implied fair value of goodwill at any of the reporting units could have a material effect on the results of operations and financial position. In addition, the value of the implied goodwill is subject to the volatility of the Company’s operations which may result in significant fluctuation in the value assigned at any point in time. Refer to " Note H - Goodwill and Intangible Assets " for the results of the annual impairment tests.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs	Deferred debt issuance costs Deferred debt issuance costs represent the costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments and are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument.
Warranties	Product Warranty Costs The Company recognizes warranty costs based on an estimate of the amounts required to meet future warranty obligations. The Company accrues an estimated liability for exposure to warranty claims at the time of a product sale based on both current and historical claim trends and warranty costs incurred. Warranty reserves are included within "Accrued expenses" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign Currency	Foreign currency Certain of the Company’s segments have operations outside the United States, and the local currency is typically the functional currency. The financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at year-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the year for results of operations. The resulting translation gain or loss is included in stockholder’s equity as other comprehensive income or loss.
Derivatives and Hedging	Derivatives and hedging The Company utilizes interest rate swaps (derivative) to manage risks related to interest rates on the term loan portion of their Credit Facility. The Company has not elected hedge accounting treatment for the existing interest rate derivatives entered into as part of the Credit Facility. Refer to " Note J - Debt " for more information on the Company’s Credit Facility.
Noncontrolling Interest	Noncontrolling interest Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of a majority-owned subsidiary’s net income that is owned by noncontrolling shareholders. Noncontrolling interest on the balance sheet represents the portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary owned by noncontrolling shareholders.
Deferred Income Taxes	Deferred income taxes Deferred income taxes are calculated under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes at the enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is expected to more likely than not be realized. Several of the Company’s majority owned subsidiaries have deferred tax assets recorded at December 31, 2016 which in total amount to approximately $45.4 million . This deferred tax asset is net of $7.3 million of valuation allowance primarily associated with net operating losses and foreign tax credits at Arnold and 5.11. These deferred tax assets are comprised primarily of reserves not currently deductible for tax purposes. The temporary differences that have resulted in the recording of these tax assets may be used to offset taxable income in future periods, reducing the amount of taxes required to be paid. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income at those subsidiaries with deferred tax assets. Based upon the expected future results of operations, the Company believes it is more likely than not that those subsidiaries with deferred tax assets will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the benefit of existing temporary differences, although there can be no assurance of this. The impact of not realizing these deferred tax assets would result in an increase in income tax expense for such period when the determination was made that the assets are not realizable.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings per share Basic and fully diluted earnings per share is computed using the two-class method which requires companies to allocate participating securities that have rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available only to common shareholders as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The Company has granted Allocation Interests that contain participating rights to receive profit allocations upon the occurrence of a Holding Event or a Sale Event. The calculation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of dividends that were declared and paid to the Holders subsequent to the termination of the Supplemental Put Agreement and the incremental increase in the profit allocation distribution to the Holders related to Holding Events during the period. The weighted average number of Trust common shares outstanding for fiscal 2016 was computed based on 54,300,000 shares outstanding for the period from January 1 st through December 13 th and 5,600,000 additional shares outstanding for the period from December 13 th through December 31 st . The weighted average number of Trust common shares outstanding for 2015 was computed based on 54,300,000 shares outstanding for the period from January 1 st through December 31 st . The weighted average number of Trust common shares outstanding for fiscal 2014 was computed based on 48,300,000 shares outstanding for the period from January 1st through November 14th and 6,000,000 additional shares outstanding from November 14th through December 31st issued in connection with a public share offering. The Company did not have any stock option plans or any other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Advertising Costs	Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs were $15.6 million , $11.8 million and $11.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Research and Development	Research and development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred research and development expense of $1.7 million , $2.1 million and $9.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Employee Retirement Plans	Employee retirement plans The Company and many of its segments sponsor defined contribution retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans. Employee contributions to the plan are subject to regulatory limitations and the specific plan provisions. The Company and its segments may match these contributions up to levels specified in the plans and may make additional discretionary contributions as determined by management. The total employer contributions to these plans were $2.2 million , $1.8 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s Arnold Magnetics subsidiary maintains a defined benefit plan for certain of its employees which is more fully described in " Note M - Defined Benefit Plan ". Accounting guidelines require employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans as assets or liabilities in their consolidated balance sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur as a component of comprehensive income.
Seasonality	Seasonality Earnings of certain of the Company’s operating segments are seasonal in nature. Earnings from Liberty are typically lowest in the second quarter due to lower demand for safes at the onset of summer. Earnings from Clean Earth are typically lower in the winter months due to lower levels of construction and development activity in the Northeastern United States. Sterno Products typically has higher sales in the second and fourth quarter of each year, reflecting the outdoor summer season and the holiday season.
Stock Based Compensation	Stock based compensation The Company does not have a stock based compensation plan; however, all of the Company’s subsidiaries maintain stock based compensation plans. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, $4.4 million , $3.2 million , and $3.8 million of stock based compensation expense was recorded to each expense category that included related salary expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2016, the amount to be recorded for stock-based compensation expense in future years for unvested options is approximately $25.5 million .
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update to simplify the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring companies to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowances, as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Adoption of this standard is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance early, effective as of January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, which is permitted under the standard. At January 1, 2016, the Company had $6.1 million classified as current deferred tax assets which was reclassified to long-term deferred tax assets, and no amount classified as current deferred tax liabilities. In September 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard to simplify the accounting for measurement period adjustments in connection with business combinations by requiring that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The standard update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard update is to be applied prospectively to adjustments of provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The amendment was effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. In August 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance which addresses the Security and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") comments related to the absence of authoritative guidance within the accounting standard update related to line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance cost ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings under the line of credit arrangement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Retrospective adoption is required. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 and has reclassified debt issuance costs associated with the Company's term debt of $4.6 million as of December 31, 2015, from long-term assets to long-term debt. Deferred debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company's revolving credit facility of $4.9 million at December 31, 2015 continues to be classified as a long-term asset. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step two of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the new guidance, a goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative test to determine if a quantitative test is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019 with early adoption permitted for any goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017 and will be applied prospectively. In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which updates the guidance as to how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classified within the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the accounting for leases which will require an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard update offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For public companies, the new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, this standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new guidance applies only to inventory that is determined by methods other than last-in-first-out and the retail inventory method. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this new accounting guidance will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted. In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard. The new standard outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries, jurisdictions and capital markets and also requires enhanced disclosures. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company currently anticipates adopting the standard using the cumulative catch-up transition method.

Summary of Unaudited Quarterly Financial Data	The following table presents the unaudited quarterly financial data. This information has been prepared on a basis consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements and all necessary material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, have been included to present fairly the unaudited quarterly financial data. The quarterly results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Typically, the first quarter of each fiscal year has the lower results than the remainder of the year, representing the Company's weakest quarter due to seasonality at our businesses. The per share calculations for each of the quarters are based on the weighted average number of shares for each period using the two class method, which requires companies to allocate participating securities that have rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available only to common shareholders as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share; therefore, the sum of the quarters will not equal to the full year per share amount.
