SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Disclaimer
We are not making any representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information (financial, business, legal or otherwise) contained in this presentation. No person has been authorized to give any information other than that

Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation, as well as other written or oral communications made from time to time by us, may contain certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements refer to our current expectations and projections relating to our financial
condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategies, future performance, and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements include
statements containing words such as "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "can," have," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "design," "due," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "goal," "intend," "likely," "may," "might," "objective," "plan," "predict,"
"project," "potential," "seek," "should," "target," "will," "would," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operational performance or other events. For example, all statements
made relating to growth strategies, estimated and projected costs, expenditures, and growth rates, plans and objectives for future operations, growth, or initiatives, or strategies are forward-looking statements.
Important factors to consider and evaluate in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or
SEC, including, but not limited to, our ability to maintain and strengthen our brand and generate and maintain ongoing demand for our products; our ability to successfully design and develop new products; our ability to effectively manage our
growth; our ability to expand into additional consumer markets, and our success in doing so; the success of our international expansion plans; our ability to compete effectively in the outdoor and recreation market and protect our brand; the level of
customer spending for our products, which is sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors; problems with, or loss of, our third-party contract manufacturers and suppliers, or an inability to obtain raw materials; fluctuations in the cost
and availability of raw materials, equipment, labor, and transportation and subsequent manufacturing delays or increased costs; our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products and our results of operations; our relationships with our
national, regional, and independent retailers, who account for a significant portion of our sales; the impact of natural disasters and failures of our information technology on our operations and the operations of our manufacturing partners; our ability
to attract and retain skilled personnel and senior management and to maintain the continued efforts of our management and key employees; the impact of our indebtedness on our ability to invest in the ongoing needs of our business; and the
impact of our "controlled company" exemptions under NYSE listing standards and the expected loss of such exemptions, subject to applicable phase-in periods.
These forward-looking statements are made based upon detailed assumptions and reflect management's current expectations and beliefs. While we believe that these assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share to help us describe our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for
income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including: non-cash stock-based compensation expense; asset impairment charges; accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees and loss from
early extinguishment of debt resulting from the early prepayment of debt; investments in new retail locations and international market expansion; transition to Cortec majority ownership; transition to the ongoing senior management team; and
transition to a public company. The expenses incurred related to these transitional events include: management fees and contingent consideration related to the transition to Cortec majority ownership; severance, recruiting, and relocation costs
related to the transition to our ongoing senior management team; consulting fees, recruiting fees, salaries and travel costs related to members of our Board of Directors, fees associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, incremental audit and
legal fees in connection with our transition to a public company, and costs incurred in connection with our May 2019 secondary offering. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income, adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expense;
asset impairment charges; accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees and loss from early extinguishment of debt resulting from the early prepayment of debt; investments in new retail locations and international market expansion;
transition to Cortec majority ownership; transition to the ongoing senior management team; and transition to a public company as well as including the tax impact of adjusting items. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other entities. We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share as a measure of
profitability. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share have limitations as a profitability measure in that it does not include the interest expense on our debts, our provisions for income taxes, and the effect
of our expenditures for capital assets and certain intangible assets. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share should not be construed as a basis to infer that our future results will be
unaffected by extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items. See Appendix for reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures.
