Clarus Corporation, headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a global company specializing in designing and developing top-tier equipment and lifestyle products for outdoor enthusiasts, marketed under brands like Black Diamond®, Rhino-Rack®, and MAXTRAX®.

In the third quarter of 2024, Clarus Corporation reported a decrease in sales to $67.1 million from $81.3 million in the same quarter of the previous year, reflecting challenges in global markets and strategic product simplification efforts. Despite these challenges, the company managed to improve its gross margin to 35.0%, up from 33.6% the previous year, aided by a favorable product mix and channel adjustments.

Key financial results for the quarter highlighted an adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million, marking a slight decline from the previous year’s $3.6 million. Net loss from continuing operations was reported at $3.2 million, compared to a $2.2 million loss in the same period last year. The company attributes these outcomes partly to macroeconomic pressures affecting consumer demand and ongoing investments in strategic growth, particularly in the Adventure segment.

Despite these short-term setbacks, Clarus Corporation’s management remains confident in their strategic roadmap aimed at scaling their Adventure segment and simplifying operations for long-term growth. The company’s debt-free balance sheet positions it well to continue investing in its strategic initiatives, especially as it seeks to expand its global footprint.

Looking forward, Clarus Corporation anticipates fiscal year 2024 sales between $260 million and $266 million, with continued investment to bolster its Adventure segment’s growth. Although the company expects adjusted EBITDA to range from $7 million to $9 million, it remains optimistic that its strategic investments will drive future profitability.
