The LLC is a controlling owner of ten businesses, or operating segments, at March 31, 2024. The segments are as follows: 5.11 Acquisition Corp. ("5.11"), Boa Holdings Inc.

("The Honey Pot Co." or "THP"), CBCP Products, LLC ("Velocity Outdoor" or "Velocity"), AMTAC Holdings LLC ("Arnold"), FFI Compass, Inc.

Compass Group Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability Company ("CGM" or the "Manager"), manages the day to day operations of the LLC and oversees the management and operations of our businesses pursuant to a management services agreement (the "Management Services Agreement" or "MSA").
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments consist solely of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any subsequent interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") and presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and the Company, as well as the businesses acquired as of their respective acquisition date. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Discontinued operating entities are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's results of operations and statements of financial position.
Discontinued Operations
The Company completed the sale of Wheelhouse Holdings, Inc. ("Marucci") during the fourth quarter of 2023 and Compass AC Holdings, Inc. ("Advanced Circuits or "ACI") during the first quarter of 2023. The results of operations of Marucci and ACI are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Refer to Note C - "Discontinued Operations" for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosures accompanying the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's continuing operations.
11


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

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This guidance will require, among other things, the following: (i) enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included in a segment's reported measure of profit or loss; (ii) disclosure of the amount and description of the composition of other segment items, as defined in ASU 2023-07, by reportable segment; and (iii) reporting the disclosures about each reportable segment's profit or loss and assets on an annual and interim basis. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have when adopted and anticipates the ASU will likely result in additional disclosures in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance will require, among other things, the following for public business entities: (i) enhanced disclosures of specific categories of reconciling items included in the rate reconciliation, as well as additional information for any of these items meeting certain qualitative and quantitative thresholds; (ii) disclosure of the judgment used in categorizing them if not otherwise evident; and (iii) enhanced disclosures for income taxes paid, which includes federal, state, and foreign taxes, as well as for individual jurisdictions over a certain quantitative threshold. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 eliminate the requirement to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in unrecognized tax benefits for the 12 months after the balance sheet date. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have when adopted and anticipates the ASU will likely result in additional disclosures in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note B — Acquisitions
The acquisitions of our businesses are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. For each platform acquisition, the Company typically structures the transaction so that a newly created holding company acquires 100% of the equity interests in the acquired business. The entirety of the purchase consideration is paid by the newly created holding company to the selling shareholders. The total purchase consideration is the amount paid to the selling shareholders and we will, from time to time, allow the selling shareholder to reinvest a portion of their proceeds alongside the Company at the same price per share, into the holding company that acquires the target business. Once the acquisition is complete, the selling shareholders no longer hold equity interests in the acquired company, but rather hold noncontrolling interest in the holding company that acquired the target business. Because the selling shareholders are investing in the transaction alongside the Company at the same price per share as the Company and are not retaining their existing equity in the acquired business, the Company includes the amount provided by noncontrolling shareholders in the total purchase consideration.
A component of our acquisition financing strategy that we utilize in acquiring the businesses we own and manage is to provide both equity capital and debt capital, raised at the parent level, typically through our existing credit facility. The debt capital is in the form of “intercompany loans” made by the LLC to the newly created holding company and the acquired business and are due from the newly created holding company and the acquired business, and payable to the LLC by the newly created holding company and the acquired business. The selling shareholders of the acquired businesses are not a party to the intercompany loan agreements nor do they have any obligation to repay the intercompany loans. These intercompany loans eliminate in consolidation and are not reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Acquisition of The Honey Pot Co.
On January 31, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the LLC, through its newly formed acquisition subsidiaries, THP Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THP Topco”) and THP Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THP Buyer”), acquired The Honey Pot Company Holdings, LLC (“THP”) and certain of its affiliated entities pursuant to a Merger and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “THP Purchase Agreement”) dated January 14, 2024 by and among THP Buyer, THP, VMG Honey Pot Blocker, Inc. (“Blocker I”), NVB1, Inc. (“Blocker II”), VMG Tax-Exempt IV, L.P., New Voices Fund, LP, THP Merger Sub, LLC (“THP Merger Sub”), VMG Honey Pot Holdings, LLC, as the Sellers’ Representative, and certain remaining equity holders of THP. Pursuant to the THP Purchase Agreement, subsequent to certain internal reorganizations, THP Buyer acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Blocker I and Blocker II and, thereafter, THP Merger Sub merged with and into THP (the “THP Merger”), with THP surviving such that the separate existence of THP Merger Sub ceased, with THP surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of the THP Topco. THP is the parent company of The Honey Pot Company (DE), LLC (“The Honey Pot Co.”).
The Company paid a purchase price of approximately $380 million, before working capital and certain other adjustments, at the Closing (the “THP Purchase Price”). The Company funded the THP Purchase Price with cash on hand. Certain minority equity holders of THP executed agreements pursuant to which they contributed a portion of their THP equity (the “Rollover Equity”) to THP Topco in exchange for THP Topco common stock. THP Topco contributed the Rollover Equity to THP Buyer. Certain other members of The Honey Pot Co. management team also contributed cash in exchange for equity in THP Topco. The Company directly owns approximately 85% of THP Topco, which in turn indirectly owns all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of THP and The Honey Pot Co. Concurrent with the Closing, the Company provided a credit facility to THP Buyer, THP and The Honey Pot Co., as borrowers (the “THP Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which a secured revolving loan commitment and secured term loans were made available to Buyer, THP and The Honey Pot Co. (collectively, the “Borrowers”). The initial amount outstanding under these facilities on the Closing Date was approximately $110 million.
The Honey Pot Co. is a feminine care brand that offers an extensive range of holistic wellness products across feminine hygiene, menstrual, consumer health, and sexual wellness categories. The Honey Pot Co.’s mission is to educate, support, and provide consumers around the world with the tools and resources that promote menstrual health and vaginal wellness.
The results of operations of The Honey Pot Co. have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. The Honey Pot Co.'s results of operations are reported as a separate operating segment as a branded consumer business. The table below provides the recording of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.

Purchase Consideration $ 380,121 
Fair value of identifiable assets acquired:
Cash $ 4,076 
Accounts receivable (1)

Intangible assets 247,000 
Other current and noncurrent assets 3,958

Net working capital adjustment (3,126)
Other adjustments (1,128)
Total purchase consideration $ 380,121 
(1) The fair value of accounts receivable approximates book value acquired.
The preliminary allocation 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 identifiable acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets, property, plant and equipment and current and other liabilities are estimated at their historical carrying values, which approximates fair value. Inventory is recognized at fair value, with finished goods stated at selling price less an estimated cost to sell. Property, plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives of the assets. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets 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 $128.1 million reflects the strategic fit of The Honey Pot Co. in the Company's branded consumer business and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The purchase price of The Honey Pot Co. is expected to be finalized in the second quarter of 2024.

The intangible assets recorded related to The Honey Pot Co. acquisition are as follows (in thousands):
Intangible Assets Fair Value Estimated Useful Lives
Tradename $ 225,000  18 years
Customer relationships 22,000  13 years

The tradename was considered the primary intangible asset and was valued at $225.0 million using a multi-period excess earnings method. The customer relationships were valued at $22.0 million using a multi period excess earnings method. The multi period excess earnings method assumes an asset has value to the extent that it enables its owners to earn a return in excess of the other assets utilized in the business.

Note G — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As a result of acquisitions of various businesses, the Company has significant intangible assets on its balance sheet that include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested and reviewed for impairment annually as of March 31st or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Each of the Company’s businesses represent a reporting unit.
Goodwill
Annual Impairment Testing
The Company uses a qualitative approach to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative goodwill impairment testing.
2024 Annual Impairment Testing
For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2024, we performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our reporting units except Velocity exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that the Velocity operating segment required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of this reporting unit significantly exceeded the carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. We performed a quantitative test of Velocity and the results of the testing indicated that the fair value of Velocity did not exceed the carrying value, resulting in goodwill impairment expense of $8.2 million as of March 31, 2024.
2023 Annual Impairment Testing
The Company determined that the Velocity reporting unit required additional quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. For the reporting units that were tested only on a qualitative basis for the 2023 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying value of these reporting units.
The quantitative test of Velocity was performed using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The discount rate used in the income approach was 15% and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Velocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 21%.
Interim Impairment Testing
2023 Interim Impairment Testing
PrimaLoft - The Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill at PrimaLoft as of December 31, 2023. As a result of operating results that were below forecast amounts that were used as the basis for the purchase price allocation performed when PrimaLoft was acquired as well as the failure of certain financial covenants in the intercompany credit agreement as of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred. The Company performed the quantitative impairment test using both an income approach and a market approach. The prospective information used in the income approach considers macroeconomic data, industry and reporting unit specific facts and circumstances and is our best estimate of operational results and cash flows for the PrimaLoft reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing.
22


The discount rate used in the income approach was 11.3%. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the PrimaLoft reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value, resulting in goodwill impairment expense of $57.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2023.
Velocity Outdoor - The Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing of goodwill at Velocity at August 31, 2023. As a result of operating results that were below the forecast that we used in the quantitative impairment test of Velocity Outdoor at March 31, 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred at Velocity in the third quarter of 2023 and performed an interim impairment test as of August 31, 2023. The Company used an income approach for the impairment test, whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins, and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The Company used a weighted average cost of capital of 17% in the income approach. The discount rate used was based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business specific characteristics and Velocity's ability to execute on projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of Velocity did not exceed its carrying value. The Company recorded goodwill impairment of $31.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.
The following is a summary of the net carrying amount of goodwill at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, is as follows (in thousands):
March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023

Long lived assets
Annual indefinite lived impairment testing
The Company used a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. The Company evaluated the qualitative factors of each indefinite lived intangible asset in connection with the annual impairment testing for 2024 and 2023. Results of the qualitative analysis indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units that maintain indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded the carrying value.

Note I — Debt
2022 Credit Facility
On July 12, 2022, the LLC entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2022 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2022 Credit Facility provides for revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit ("the 2022 Revolving Line of Credit") up to a maximum aggregate amount of $600 million ("the 2022 Revolving Loan Commitment") and a $400 million term loan (the “2022 Term Loan”). The 2022 Term Loan requires quarterly payments ranging from $2.5 million to $7.5 million, commencing September 30, 2022, with a final payment of all remaining principal and interest due on July 12, 2027, which is the 2022 Term Loan’s maturity date. All amounts outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Line of Credit will become due on July 12, 2027, which is the termination date of the 2022 Revolving Loan Commitment. The 2022 Credit Facility also permits the LLC, prior to the applicable maturity date, to increase the Revolving Loan Commitment and/or obtain additional term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, subject to certain restrictions and conditions. On the closing date for the 2022 Credit Facility, the 2022 Term Loan was advanced in full and the initial borrowings outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Line of Credit were $115 million. We used the initial proceeds from the 2022 Credit Facility to pay all amounts outstanding under the 2021 Credit Facility, pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2022 Credit Facility and fund the acquisition of PrimaLoft.
The LLC may borrow, prepay and reborrow principal under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility from time to time during its term. Advances under the 2022 Revolving Line of Credit can be either term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") loans or base rate loans. Term SOFR revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum based on the applicable SOFR as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator), as adjusted, plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%, based on the ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to adjusted consolidated earnings before interest expense, tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses for such period (the “Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio”). Base rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the “prime rate”, and (iii) the applicable SOFR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”), plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, based on the Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.
25


Advances under the 2022 Term Loan can be either term SOFR loans or base rate loans. The 2022 Term Loan was advanced in full on the closing date for the 2022 Credit Facility as a Term SOFR loan with an interest period of one month. On the last day of an interest period, Term SOFR loans may be converted to Term SOFR loans of a different interest period or to Base Rate loans. Term SOFR term loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum based on the Term SOFR for such interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%, based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. Base rate term loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%, based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.
Under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, an aggregate amount of up to $100 million in letters of credit may be issued, as well as swing line loans of up to $25 million outstanding at one time. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swing line loan would reduce the amount available under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.
Net availability under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $551.6 million at March 31, 2024. Letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2024 totaled approximately $2.5 million. At March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants as defined in the 2022 Credit Facility.
The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company, including all of its equity interests in, and loans to, its subsidiaries.

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

Valuation Techniques
The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any of its other financial assets and liabilities during the period.

Note M — Income taxes
The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate each fiscal quarter and applies that estimated rate to its interim pre-tax earnings. In this regard, the Company reflects the full year’s estimated tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items and the effects of changes in tax laws or rates in the interim period in which they occur. The Company's parent, the Trust, is subject to entity-level U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes on the Company's earnings that flow through to the Trust.
The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate for each interim period requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment, including with respect to the projected operating income for the year, projections of income earned and taxes incurred in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained, as our tax structure changes or as the tax laws change. Certain foreign operations are subject to foreign income taxation under existing provisions of the laws of those jurisdictions.
34


The reconciliation between the Federal Statutory Rate and the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:
Three months ended March 31,
2024 2023
United States Federal Statutory Rate 21.0  % 21.0  %

Effective income tax rate 78.1  % 81.1  %
Note N — Defined Benefit Plan
In connection with the acquisition of Arnold, the company has a defined benefit plan covering substantially all of Arnold’s employees at its Lupfig, Switzerland location. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ highest average compensation during the specific period.
The unfunded liability of $3.3 million is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of other non-current liabilities at March 31, 2024. Net periodic benefit cost consists of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
Three months ended March 31,
2024 2023
Service cost $ 132  $ 90 
Interest cost 60  60 
Expected return on plan assets (49) (54)
Amortization of unrecognized loss —  (9)
Effect of curtailment (11) (13)
Net periodic benefit cost $ 132  $ 74 
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, per the terms of the pension agreement, Arnold contributed $0.1 million to the plan. For the remainder of 2024, the expected contribution to the plan will be approximately $0.4 million.
The plan assets are pooled with assets of other participating employers and are not separable; therefore, the fair values of the pension plan assets at March 31, 2024 were considered Level 3.
Note O - Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters has yet to be determined, the Company does not believe that any unfavorable outcomes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Leases
The Company and its subsidiaries lease office and manufacturing facilities, computer equipment and software under various arrangements. Certain of the leases are subject to escalation clauses and renewal periods.
35


The Company and its subsidiaries recognize lease expense, including predetermined fixed escalations, on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease including reasonably assured renewal periods from the time that the Company and its subsidiaries control the leased property. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our subsidiaries have leases that contain both fixed rent costs and variable rent costs based on achievement of certain operating metrics. The variable lease expense was not a material component of our total lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognized $11.4 million and $11.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, in expense related to operating leases in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The maturities of lease liabilities at March 31, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):
2024 (excluding three months ended March 31, 2024) $ 34,423 
2025 44,058 
2026 43,102 
2027 38,084 
2028 29,754 
Thereafter 76,407 
Total undiscounted lease payments $ 265,828 
Less: Interest 65,351 
Present value of lease liabilities $ 200,477 
The calculated amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the company's discretion. In general, it is not reasonably certain that lease renewals will be exercised at lease commencement and therefore lease renewals are not included in the lease term. As the discount rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate of the subsidiary entering into the lease arrangement, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term as adjusted for any country specific risk.
The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of our operating leases were as follows:
Lease Term and Discount Rate March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) 6.54 6.42
Weighted-average discount rate 8.61  % 7.85  %

Note P — Related Party Transactions
Management Services Agreement
The LLC entered into the Management Services Agreement ("MSA") with CGM effective May 16, 2006, as amended. Our Chief Executive Officer is a partner of CGM. The MSA provides for, among other things, CGM to perform services for the LLC in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of the LLC's adjusted net assets, as defined in the MSA.
During 2022, CGM entered into a waiver of the MSA for the period through June 30, 2023 to receive a 1% annual management fee related to PrimaLoft, rather than the 2% called for under the MSA, which resulted in a lower management fee at March 31, and June 30, 2023 than would normally have been due. At March 31, 2022, CGM entered into a waiver to exclude cash balances held at the LLC from the calculation of the management fee.
Integration Services Agreements
Integration service fees are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the subsidiaries' statement of operations in the period in which they are incurred. Under the Integration Services Agreement ("ISA"), CGM provides services for new platform acquisitions to, amongst other things, assist the management at the acquired entities in establishing a corporate governance program, implement compliance and reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and align the acquired entity's policies and procedures with our other subsidiaries.
The Honey Pot Co., which was acquired in January 2024, entered into an ISA with CGM whereby The Honey Pot Co. will pay CGM a total integration services fee of $3.5 million, payable quarterly over a twelve-month period beginning June 30, 2024.
PrimaLoft, which was acquired in July 2022, entered into an ISA with CGM whereby PrimaLoft paid CGM an integration services fee of $4.8 million quarterly over the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2023.
The Company and its businesses have the following significant related party transactions
5.11
Related Party Vendor Purchases - 5.11 purchases inventory from a vendor who is a related party to 5.11 through one of the executive officers of 5.11 via the executive's 40% ownership interest in the vendor. 5.11 purchased approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively in inventory from the vendor.
BOA
Recapitalization - In December 2023, the Company completed a recapitalization of BOA whereby the LLC entered into an amendment to the intercompany credit agreement with BOA (the "BOA Credit Agreement"). The BOA Credit Agreement was amended to provide for additional term loan borrowings of $165.9 million to fund a distribution to shareholders. The LLC received a distribution of $131.0 million related to their ownership of the outstanding shares of BOA on the date of the distribution. Noncontrolling shareholders received a distribution of $11.7 million, and the remaining amount of the recapitalization was used to repurchase shares owned by employees after the exercise of fully vested employee stock options, and to pay a bonus to employees who held phantom stock options and were not eligible to participate in the distribution to noncontrolling shareholders. BOA recorded compensation expense of $3.1 million related to the bonus paid to employees as part of the recapitalization.
Related Party Vendor Purchases - A contract manufacturer used by BOA as the primary supplier of molded injection parts is a noncontrolling shareholder of BOA. BOA purchased approximately $10.6 million and $9.7 million from this supplier during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
Note Q — Subsequent Event
On April 30, 2024, Velocity Outdoor entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell Crosman Corporation ("Crosman"), their airgun product division, to Daisy Manufacturing Company, for an enterprise value of approximately $63 million. The Company expects to record a loss on the sale of Crosman in the quarter ending June 30, 2024. Velocity received net proceeds of approximately $58.5 million related to the sale of Crosman, which was used to repay amounts outstanding under their intercompany credit agreement.

We categorize our subsidiary businesses into two separate groups of businesses: (i) branded consumer businesses, and (ii) industrial businesses. Branded consumer businesses are characterized as those businesses that we believe capitalize on a valuable brand name in their respective market sector. We believe that our branded consumer businesses are leaders in their particular product category. Industrial businesses are characterized as those businesses that focus on manufacturing and selling particular products and industrial services within a specific market sector. We believe that our industrial businesses are leaders in their specific market sector. We recently announced the launch of our healthcare effort as our third grouping of companies. We believe healthcare has multiple attractive, high-growth segments with strong industry tailwinds, is an acyclical vertical that we expect will bring diversification and stability to the current group of companies, and has strong alignment with the Company’s existing subsidiary priorities.

While our subsidiary businesses have different growth opportunities and potential rates of growth, we actively manage each of our subsidiary businesses to increase the value of, and cash generated by, each business through various initiatives, including making selective capital investments to expand geographic reach, increase capacity or reduce manufacturing costs of our subsidiary businesses; improving and expanding existing sales and marketing programs; and assisting in the acquisition and integration of complementary businesses.
Significant Trends Impacting Our Subsidiary Businesses
Macroeconomic Trends
The macroeconomic environment remains dynamic as global macroeconomic trends, including inflationary pressures and higher interest rates, are impacting consumer spending behavior. We expect changing market conditions and continued inflationary pressures to continue to impact consumer spending, particularly for discretionary items purchased by low and middle income consumers, even as overall consumer sentiment among other income brackets appears to be improving going into 2024. While overall inflation increased at a slower pace domestically in 2023, prices remain significantly elevated as compared to the pre-COVID-19 environment, and inflation rates remain above central banks' targets. We continue to experience modest inflationary cost increases in our materials and rising labor costs, particularly at our businesses where hourly employees comprise a larger part of the workforce. We expect that low unemployment rates and increasing wage and benefit costs will have an impact on margins at our businesses in 2024. Certain locales that our businesses operate in have also significantly increased the minimum wage over the past two years with more increases scheduled in coming years, which adds additional wage pressure to the rates we pay hourly workers in these locales.
Our lead-times for inventory have stabilized, which we expect will allow for more accurate forecasting in 2024. Several of our consumer brand businesses experienced a decrease in net revenues in 2023 resulting from higher than anticipated end market inventory levels due to supply chain normalization and a corresponding inventory ordering surge experienced in 2022. Transportation costs have also decreased from a peak, but global geopolitical threats that arose in the latter half of 2023 continue to pressure both fuel and freight costs. Accordingly, our liquidity and financial results could be impacted in ways that we are not able to predict today.
Despite the negative trends noted above, the diversification of our businesses, concentration in the North American market and actions we have taken over the last few years to improve the overall composition of our subsidiary companies and to reduce our cost of capital have positioned us, we believe, to continue to execute on our strategy during 2024 from a position of strength.
40


Business Outlook
The Company anticipates that the areas of focus for 2024, which are generally applicable to each of our businesses, include:
•Pursuing sales growth through a combination of new product development, increasing distribution, new customer acquisitions and international expansion;
•Driving free cash flow through increased net income and effective working capital management, enabling continued investment in our businesses;
•Raising prices, when appropriate, on our goods due to rising input costs to preserve operating margins;
•Taking market share, where possible, in each of our niche market leading companies, generally at the expense of less well capitalized competitors;
•Striving for excellence in supply chain management, manufacturing and technological capabilities;
•Continuing to pursue expense reduction and cost savings in lower margin business lines or in response to lower production volume; and
•Continuing to grow through disciplined, strategic acquisitions and rigorous integration processes.
Recent Events
Acquisition of The Honey Pot Co.
On January 31, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the LLC, through its newly formed acquisition subsidiaries, THP Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THP Topco”) and THP Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THP Buyer”), acquired The Honey Pot Company Holdings, LLC (“THP”) and certain of its affiliated entities pursuant to a Merger and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “THP Purchase Agreement”) dated January 14, 2024 by and among THP Buyer, THP, VMG Honey Pot Blocker, Inc. (“Blocker I”), NVB1, Inc. (“Blocker II”), VMG Tax-Exempt IV, L.P., New Voices Fund, LP, THP Merger Sub, LLC (“THP Merger Sub”), VMG Honey Pot Holdings, LLC, as the Sellers’ Representative, and certain remaining equity holders of THP. Pursuant to the THP Purchase Agreement, subsequent to certain internal reorganizations, THP Buyer acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Blocker I and Blocker II and, thereafter, THP Merger Sub merged with and into THP (the “THP Merger”), with THP surviving such that the separate existence of THP Merger Sub ceased, with THP surviving the THP Merger as a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of the THP Topco. THP is the parent company of The Honey Pot Company (DE), LLC (“The Honey Pot Co.”).
The Company purchased The Honey Pot for a total enterprise value of $380 million, before working capital and certain other adjustments (the “THP Purchase Price”). The Company funded the THP Purchase Price with cash on hand. Certain minority equity holders of THP executed agreements pursuant to which they contributed a portion of their THP equity (the “THP Rollover Equity”) to THP Topco in exchange for THP Topco common stock. THP Topco contributed the THP Rollover Equity to THP Buyer. Certain other members of The Honey Pot Co. management team also contributed cash in exchange for equity in THP Topco. The Company directly owns approximately 85% of THP Topco, which in turn indirectly owns all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of THP and The Honey Pot Co. Concurrent with the Closing, the Company provided a credit facility to THP Buyer, THP and The Honey Pot Co., as borrowers (the “THP Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which a secured revolving loan commitment and secured term loans were made available to Buyer, THP and The Honey Pot Co. (collectively, the “Borrowers”). The initial amount outstanding under these facilities on the Closing Date was approximately $110 million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
"U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP" refer to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude amounts, included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements, and vice versa for measures that include amounts, or are subject to adjustments that effectively include amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure as calculated and presented.
See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further discussion of our non-GAAP financial measures and related reconciliations.
Results of Operations
The following discussion reflects a comparison of the historical results of operations of our consolidated business for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, and components of the results of operations as well as those components presented as a percent of net revenues, for each of our subsidiary businesses on a stand-alone basis.

In the following results of operations, we provide (i) our actual Consolidated Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, which includes the historical results of operations of each of our businesses (operating segments) from the date of acquisition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP" or "US GAAP), and (ii) comparative historical components of the results of operations for each of our businesses on a stand-alone basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, where all periods presented include relevant pro forma adjustments for pre-acquisition periods and explanations where applicable. For the acquisition of The Honey Pot Co. in January 2024, the pro forma results of operations for The Honey Pot Co. business segment has been prepared as if we purchased this business on January 1, 2023. We believe this is the most meaningful comparison for the operating results of acquired business segments. The following results of operations at each of our businesses are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
All dollar amounts in the financial tables are presented in thousands. References in the financial tables to percentage changes that are not meaningful are denoted by "NM."
Results of Operations - Consolidated
The following table sets forth our unaudited results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Net income (loss) from continuing operations $ 2,436  $ 1,612 

Three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to three months ended March 31, 2023
Net revenues
Consolidated net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by approximately $40.4 million, or 8.3%, compared to the corresponding period in 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2023, we saw notable increases in net revenues at BOA ($4.9 million increase) and Lugano ($39.2 million increase), offset by decreases in net revenue at Velocity Outdoor ($4.1 million decrease), Altor Solutions ($8.1 million decrease) and Sterno ($10.2 million decrease). The Honey Pot Co., which we acquired on January 31, 2024, contributed $20.2 million in net revenues in the first quarter of 2024. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of net revenues by subsidiary business segment.
We do not generate any revenues apart from those generated by our subsidiaries. We may generate interest income on the investment of available funds, but expect such earnings to be minimal. We make loans from the Company to our subsidiary businesses and also hold equity interests in those businesses. Cash flows coming to the Trust and the LLC are the result of interest payments on those loans, amortization of those loans and additional principal payments on those loans. However, on a consolidated basis, these items will be eliminated.
42


Cost of revenues
On a consolidated basis, cost of revenues increased approximately $3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. We saw notable increases in cost of revenues at BOA ($1.5 million increase) and Lugano ($12.5 million increase) that correlates with the increase in net revenue in the first quarter of 2024. We saw notable decreases in cost of revenues at Velocity ($2.6 million decrease), Altor ($7.6 million decrease), and Sterno ($11.3 million decrease) that corresponded to the decrease in net revenue noted above. The Honey Pot Co. had cost of sales of $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 post-acquisition. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was approximately 46.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 42.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023 is driven by the mix of products sold, with increases in net revenue at our higher margin businesses, particularly Lugano. Our branded consumer businesses had gross profit as a percentage of net revenues of 53.8% in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 52.0% in the first quarter of 2023, while our industrial businesses had gross profit as a percentage of net revenues of 28.6% in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 25.7% in the first quarter of 2023. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of gross profit by subsidiary business segment.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense increased approximately $20.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the corresponding period in 2023. We saw increases in selling, general and administrative expenses at several of our consumer brands due to increased investment in marketing and headcount, increases in employee compensation and increases in fulfillment costs. We saw notable increase in selling, general and administrative expenses at BOA ($1.7 million of the increase), Ergobaby ($1.3 million of the increase) and Lugano ($7.1 million of the increase). The Honey Pot Co. had selling, general and administrative expense of $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 post-acquisition, of which $3.5 million was transaction costs associated with the acquisition. Refer to "Results of Operations - Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of selling, general and administrative expense by subsidiary business segment. At the corporate level, general and administrative expense was $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.1 million.
Fees to manager
Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement ("MSA"), we pay CGM a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% (2.0% annually) of our consolidated adjusted net assets. We accrue for the management fee on a quarterly basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred approximately $18.1 million in management fees as compared to $16.3 million in fees in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in management fees is primarily attributable to our acquisition of The Honey Pot Co. in January 2024.
CGM entered into a waiver of the MSA for a period through June 30, 2023 to receive a 1% annual management fee related to PrimaLoft, rather than the 2% called for under the MSA, which resulted in a lower management fee paid in the first quarter of 2023 than would have normally been due. PrimaLoft was acquired in July 2022.
Amortization expense
Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $2.3 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of the amortization expense associated with the intangibles that were recognized in conjunction with the purchase price allocation for The Honey Pot Co., which was acquired in January 2024.
Impairment expense
In connection with our annual goodwill impairment test, we tested the goodwill at the Velocity reporting unit quantitatively. The impairment test resulted in Velocity recording impairment expense of $8.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Interest expense
We recorded interest expense totaling $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $26.2 million for the comparable period in 2023, a decrease of $2.6 million. We received $1.8 million in interest income on our cash balances at the LLC during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the proceeds from our sale of Marucci. The remaining decrease in interest expense in the current quarter reflects the lower average amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023.
43


There was an average of $29 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2024 and $107 million outstanding in the first quarter of 2023. The amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility in the last year was impacted by the timing of our dispositions and acquisitions in the past year, with the proceeds from the sale of Advanced Circuits in February 2023 used to pay down outstanding balances on the facility, and the proceeds from the sale of Marucci in November 2023 used to pay for the acquisition of The Honey Pot Co. rather than using the availability under the facility.
Other income (expense)
For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we recorded $2.9 million in other expense as compared to $1.2 million in other income in the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $4.0 million. Other income (expense) typically reflects the movement in foreign currency at our subsidiary businesses with international operations, gains or (losses) realized on the sale of property, plant and equipment, and expenses incurred or income earned that are not considered a part of our operations. In the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the other expense reflects a loss on an equity method investment at Altor Solutions.
Income taxes
We had an income tax provision of $8.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to an income tax provision of $6.9 million during the same period in 2023, an increase of $1.8 million. Our effective tax rate in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was 78.1%, compared to an effective income tax rate of 81.1% during the same period in 2023. Our tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year. In addition to state income taxes, the items with the most significant impact on the difference between our statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% percent and our effective income tax rate in 2024 was the limitations on the net operating loss carryforwards and utilization of tax credits at our subsidiaries and the impairment expense recognized at Velocity in the first quarter of 2024.

This increase was driven largely by a $2.7 million increase in international sales growth from strong demand, which was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in direct-to-consumer sales, and a $0.8 million decrease in domestic wholesale sales due to decreased inventory availability.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $65.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $64.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $1.0 million. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 52.8% in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 52.2% in the first quarter of 2023.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was largely driven by the costs associated with additional retail stores and increased headcount from March 31, 2023, which was offset by a decrease in outside service and bonus related expenses.
Segment operating income
Segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $8.2 million, an increase of $0.5 million when compared to segment operating income of $7.7 million for the same period in 2023, based on the factors described above.

The increase was reflected across key industries including Cycling, Athletic, Workwear and Snow Sports. The increase in sales was a result of the improvement of end market inventory levels, coupled with market share gains in many of our key industries.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $26.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $3.4 million. Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales was 61.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to 60.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by manufacturing overhead leverage, reduced freight and warranty costs as well as product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $12.4 million, or 28.9% of net sales compared to $10.7 million, or 28.1% of net sales for the comparable period in 2023. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense is primarily due to increased employee costs related to BOA’s bonus plan and equity program.

Lugano has an extensive network of suppliers through which they procure high quality diamonds and gemstones, which make up a significant percentage of the cost of sales.

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $22.5 million, a decrease of $2.0 million as compared to net sales of $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net sales in the current quarter versus the quarter ended March 31, 2023 is attributable to lower ordering from existing customers due to higher inventory levels that retailers are challenged to normalize with consumer demand, which more than offset new customer wins. We expect that retail ordering will begin to normalize this year which we believe will improve our results in 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate cash primarily from the operations of our subsidiaries, and we have the ability to borrow under our 2022 Credit Facility to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In January 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase, through December 31, 2023, up to $50 million of its outstanding common shares. In 2021, we filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to which we may, but we have no obligation to, issue and sell up to $500 million of the common shares of the Trust in amounts and at times to be determined by us. In the first quarter of 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement pursuant to which we may, but we have no obligation to, issue and sell up to $100 million of the preferred shares of the Trust in amounts and at times to be determined by us. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, market conditions, the trading price of Trust common and preferred shares and determinations by us regarding appropriate sources of funding.
Our liquidity requirements primarily relate to our debt service requirements, payments of our common and preferred share distributions, management fees paid to our Manager, working capital needs and purchase commitments at our subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2024, we had $1,000.0 million of indebtedness associated with our 5.250% 2029 Notes, $300.0 million of indebtedness associated with our 5.000% 2032 Notes, $382.5 million outstanding on our 2022 Term Loan, and $46.0 million outstanding on our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. Only our 2022 Term Loan has required principal payments. Long-term debt liquidity requirements consist of the payment in full of our Notes upon their respective maturity dates, amounts outstanding under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility upon its maturity date, and principal payments under our 2022 Term Loan. The 2022 Term Loan requires quarterly payments ranging from $2.5 million to $7.5 million, commencing September 30, 2022, with a final payment of all remaining principal and interest due on July 12, 2027, which is the 2022 Term Loan’s maturity date.

At March 31, 2024, we had approximately $64.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, a decrease of $385.8 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

A portion of the proceeds from the Marucci sale were used to pay down outstanding debt under the Company’s 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and the remaining amount was held in short term investment and savings accounts at December 31, 2023. On January 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of The Honey Pot Co. using cash held on our balance sheet. The majority of our cash is in non-interest bearing checking accounts or invested in short-term money market accounts and is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which identifies allowable investments and specifies credit quality standards. Our availability under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2024 was $551.6 million.

In the prior year, several of our businesses were working through higher levels of inventory that that were increased to combat supply chain issues during 2022 given longer lead times, resulting in lower cash outflows in the first quarter of 2023.
Lugano has used significant cash to build inventory to support its sales growth strategy, with net inventory build of $80 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $27 million in the first quarter of 2023. We expect Lugano to continue to use working capital to support its growth.

($41.7 million). Financing activities in both periods reflect the payment of our common and preferred share distributions, and current period financing cash flows includes the payment of the profit allocation from the sale of Marucci to the Allocation Interest Holders of $48.9 million.
Intercompany Debt
A component of our acquisition financing strategy that we utilize in acquiring the subsidiary businesses we own and manage is to provide both equity capital and debt capital, raised at the parent level through our existing credit facility. Our strategy of providing intercompany debt financing within the capital structure of our subsidiaries allows us the ability to distribute cash to the parent company through monthly interest payments and amortization of the principal on these intercompany loans. Each loan to our subsidiary businesses has a scheduled maturity and each subsidiary business is entitled to repay all or a portion of the principal amount of the outstanding loans, without penalty, prior to maturity. Certain of our subsidiaries have paid down their respective intercompany debt balances through the cash flow generated by these subsidiaries and we have recapitalized, and expect to continue to recapitalize, these subsidiaries in the normal course of our business. The recapitalization process involves funding the intercompany debt using either cash on hand at the parent or our applicable credit facility, and serves the purpose of optimizing the capital structure at our subsidiaries and providing the noncontrolling shareholders with a distribution on their ownership interest in a cash flow positive business.
We will from time to time, amend the intercompany credit agreements to reflect changes in the business or funding needs of our businesses. The following amendments have been made in the time period indicated:
We have made several amendments to the Lugano intercompany credit agreement to allow Lugano to continue to expand their operations and build inventory to support their salon expansion. Amendments were made to the Lugano intercompany credit agreement in the first quarter of 2024, and the second, third and fourth quarter of 2023. We expect to continue to fund Lugano to support their sales growth in the upcoming year.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we amended the Ergo Credit Agreement to permit the fixed charge coverage ratio to remain at the September 30, 2023 level through the period ending December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, we completed a recapitalization at BOA whereby the LLC entered into an amendment to the intercompany loan agreement with BOA (the "BOA Credit Agreement"). The BOA Credit Agreement was amended to provide for additional term loan borrowings of $165.9 million to fund a distribution to shareholders. The LLC received a distribution of $131.0 million related to their ownership of the outstanding shares of BOA on the date of the distribution. Noncontrolling shareholders received a distribution of $11.7 million, and the remaining amount of the recapitalization was used to repurchase employee stock options and to pay a bonus to employees who held phantom stock options and were not eligible to participate in the distribution to noncontrolling shareholders.
All of our subsidiaries except PrimaLoft and Velocity were in compliance with the financial covenants included within their intercompany credit arrangements at March 31, 2024. We issued a waiver to PrimaLoft for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 related to their leverage ratio in the intercompany credit agreement. We issued a waiver to Velocity related to the fixed charge and leverage ratios in the intercompany credit agreement for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
All intercompany loans eliminate in consolidation and are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024, we had the following outstanding loans due from each of our subsidiary businesses (in thousands):

Our primary source of cash is from the receipt of interest and principal on the outstanding loans to our subsidiaries. Accordingly, we are dependent upon the earnings of and cash flow from these businesses, which are available for (i) operating expenses; (ii) payment of principal and interest under our applicable credit facility and interest on our Senior Notes; (iii) payments to CGM due pursuant to the MSA and the LLC Agreement; (iv) cash distributions to our shareholders; and (v) investments in future acquisitions. Payments made under (iii) above are required to be paid before distributions to shareholders and may be significant and exceed the funds held by us, which may require us to dispose of assets or incur debt to fund such expenditures.
Financing Arrangements
2022 Credit Facility
On July 12, 2022, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2022 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2022 Credit Facility provides for revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit up to a maximum aggregate amount of $600 million (the "2022 Revolving Credit Facility") and also permits the LLC, prior to the applicable maturity date, to increase the revolving loan commitment and/or obtain term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million, subject to certain restrictions and conditions.
54


All amounts outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility will become due on July 12, 2027, which is the maturity date of loans advanced under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2022 Credit Facility also provides for a $400 million term loan (the “2022 Term Loan”). The 2022 Term Loan requires quarterly payments ranging from $2.5 million to $7.5 million, commencing September 30, 2022, with a final payment of all remaining principal and interest due on July 12, 2027, which is the 2022 Term Loan’s maturity date.
We had $551.6 million in net availability under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2024. The outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility include $2.5 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2024, which are not reflected on our balance sheet.
Senior Notes
2032 Notes
On November 17, 2021, we consummated the issuance and sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") offered pursuant to a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2032 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 17, 2021 (the “2032 Notes Indenture”), between the LLC and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2032 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.000% per annum and will mature on January 15, 2032. Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable in cash on July 15th and January 15th of each year. The 2032 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the LLC and are not guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The proceeds from the sale of the 2032 Notes were used to repay debt outstanding under the 2021 Credit Facility.
2029 Notes
On March 23, 2021, we consummated the issuance and sale of $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) offered pursuant to a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 23, 2021 (the “2029 Notes Indenture”), between the LLC and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2029 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.250% per annum and will mature on April 15, 2029. Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable in cash on April 15th and October 15th of each year. The 2029 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the LLC and are not guaranteed by our subsidiaries.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GAAP or U.S. GAAP refer to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. From time to time we may publicly disclose certain “non-GAAP” financial measures in the course of our investor presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls or other venues. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude amounts, included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements, and vice versa for measures that include amounts, or are subject to adjustments that effectively include amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure as calculated and presented.
Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics we use to internally evaluate our subsidiary businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operations.
The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to Adjusted earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") and Adjusted Earnings.
Adjusted EBITDA – EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), loss on debt extinguishment, depreciation expense and amortization expense. Amortization expenses consist of amortization of intangibles and debt charges, including debt issuance costs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated utilizing the same calculation as described in arriving at EBITDA further adjusted by: (i) non-controlling stockholder compensation, which generally consists of non-cash stock option expense; (ii) successful acquisition costs, which consist of transaction costs (legal, accounting, due diligence, etc.) incurred in connection with the successful acquisition of a business expensed during the period in compliance with ASC 805; (iii) impairment charges, which reflect write downs to goodwill or other intangible assets; (iv) changes in the fair value of contingent consideration subsequent to initial purchase accounting, (v) integration service fees, which reflect fees paid by newly acquired companies to the Manager for integration services performed during the first year of ownership; and (vi) items of other income or expense that are material to a subsidiary and non-recurring in nature.
Adjusted Earnings –– Adjusted earnings is calculated as net income (loss) adjusted to include the cost of the distributions to preferred shareholders, and adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items the exclusion of which management believes provides insight regarding our ongoing operating performance. Depending on the period presented, these adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain of the following items: gains (losses) and income (loss) from discontinued operations, income (loss) from noncontrolling interest, amortization expense, subsidiary stock compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and items of other income or expense that may be material to a subsidiary and non-recurring in nature.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings are non-GAAP measures used by the Company to assess its performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings provide useful information to investors and reflect important financial measures that are used by management in the monthly analysis of our operating results and in preparation of our annual budgets.
56


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

Seasonality
Earnings of certain of our operating segments are seasonal in nature due to various recurring events, holidays and seasonal weather patterns, as well as the timing of our acquisitions during a given year. Historically, the third and fourth quarter have produced the highest net sales in our fiscal year, however, due to various acquisitions in the last three years, there is generally less seasonality in our net sales on a consolidated basis than there has been historically.
Related Party Transactions
Management Services Agreement
We entered into the MSA with CGM effective May 16, 2006. The MSA provides for, among other things, CGM to perform services for the LLC in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of the Company's adjusted net assets, as defined in the MSA. Our Chief Executive Officer is a partner of CGM.
During 2022, CGM entered into a waiver of the MSA for the period through June 30, 2023 to receive a 1% annual management fee related to PrimaLoft, rather than the 2% called for under the MSA, which resulted in a lower management fee at March 31, and June 30, 2023 than would normally have been due.

Integration Services Agreements
Integration services represent fees paid by newly acquired companies to the Manager for integration services performed during the first year of ownership. Under the Integration Services Agreement ("ISA"), CGM provides services for new platform acquisitions to, amongst other things, assist the management at the acquired entities in establishing a corporate governance program, implement compliance and reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and align the acquired entity's policies and procedures with our other subsidiaries. Integration services fees are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Honey Pot Co., which was acquired in January 2024, entered into an ISA with CGM whereby The Honey Pot Co. will pay CGM a total integration services fee of $3.5 million, payable quarterly over a twelve-month period beginning June 30, 2024.
PrimaLoft, which was acquired in July 2022, entered into an ISA with CGM whereby PrimaLoft paid CGM a total integration services fee of $4.8 million, payable quarterly over a twelve-month period ended June 30, 2023.
Allocation Interests
The Allocation Interests represent the original equity interest in the Company. The holders of the Allocation Interests (“Holders”), through Sostratus LLC, are entitled to receive distributions pursuant to a profit allocation formula upon the occurrence of certain events. The distributions of the profit allocation are paid upon the occurrence of the sale of a material amount of capital stock or assets of one of the Company’s businesses (“Sale Event”) or, at the option of the Holders, at each five year anniversary date of the acquisition of one of the Company’s businesses (“Holding Event”). The Company records distributions of the profit allocation to the Holders upon occurrence of a Sale Event or Holding Event as dividends declared on Allocation Interests to stockholders’ equity when they are approved by the Company’s board of directors.
The sale of Advanced Circuits in February 2023 represented a Sale Event and the Company's board of director's approved a distribution of $24.4 million in April 2023, subsequent to the end of the first quarter. In addition, the Company's board of directors approved a distribution of $2.1 million related to various sale proceeds received related to previous Sale Events. These distributions were paid to the Holders of the Allocation Interests in April 2023.
The sale of Marucci in November 2023 represented a Sale Event and the Company's board of director's approved a distribution of $48.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. This distribution was paid to the Holders of the Allocation Interests in February 2024.

5.11
Related Party Vendor Purchases - 5.11 purchases inventory from a vendor who is a related party to 5.11 through one of the executive officers of 5.11 via the executive's 40% ownership interest in the vendor. 5.11 purchased approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively in inventory from the vendor.
BOA
Recapitalization - In December 2023, the Company completed a recapitalization of BOA whereby the LLC entered into an amendment to the intercompany credit agreement with BOA (the "BOA Credit Agreement"). The BOA Credit Agreement was amended to provide for additional term loan borrowings of $165.9 million to fund a distribution to shareholders. The LLC received a distribution of $131.0 million related to their ownership of the outstanding shares of BOA on the date of the distribution. Noncontrolling shareholders received a distribution of $11.7 million, and the remaining amount of the recapitalization was used to repurchase shares owned by employees after the exercise of fully vested employee stock options, and to pay a bonus to employees who held phantom stock options and were not eligible to participate in the distribution to noncontrolling shareholders. BOA recorded compensation expense of $3.1 million related to the bonus paid to employees as part of the recapitalization.
Related Party Vendor Purchases - A contract manufacturer used by BOA as the primary supplier of molded injection parts is a noncontrolling shareholder of BOA. BOA purchased approximately $10.6 million and $9.7 million from this supplier during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no special purpose entities or off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different conditions. These critical accounting policies and estimates are reviewed periodically by our independent auditors and the audit committee of our board of directors.
Except as set forth below, our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing
Goodwill represents the excess amount of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired. Our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31st, and if current events or circumstances require, on an interim basis. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are generally an operating segment. Each of our subsidiary businesses represents a reporting unit.
We use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the goodwill impairment testing. The qualitative factors we consider include, in part, the general macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions for each reporting unit, financial performance including actual versus planned results and results of relevant prior periods, operating costs and cost impacts, as well as issues or events specific to the reporting unit. If qualitative factors are not sufficient to determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to exceed its carrying value, we will perform a quantitative test of the reporting unit whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach or market approach, or a weighting of the two methods. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of our reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The discount rate used is based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the business and the uncertainty associated with the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows.
62


Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable public companies with operating characteristics that are similar to the reporting unit. When market comparables are not meaningful or available, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using only the income approach. The valuation approaches are subject to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change such as judgments and assumptions about appropriate sales growth rates, operating margins, weighted average cost of capital, and comparable company market multiples. When developing these key judgments and assumptions, we consider economic, operational and market conditions that could impact the fair value of the reporting unit. Estimates are inherently uncertain and represent only management’s reasonable expectations regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments and assumptions upon which the estimates are based will most likely differ from actual future results.
2024 Annual Impairment Testing
For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2024, we performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our reporting units except Velocity exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that the Velocity operating segment required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of this reporting unit significantly exceeded the carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. We performed a quantitative test of Velocity and the results of the testing indicated that the fair value of Velocity did not exceed the carrying value, resulting in goodwill impairment expense of $8.2 million as of March 31, 2024, which represented the remaining balance of goodwill at Velocity.
2023 Interim goodwill impairment testing
PrimaLoft - The Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill at PrimaLoft as of December 31, 2023. As a result of operating results that were below forecast amounts that were used as the basis for the purchase price allocation performed when PrimaLoft was acquired as well as the failure of certain financial covenants in the intercompany credit agreement as of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred. The Company performed the quantitative impairment test using both an income approach and a market approach. The prospective information used in the income approach considers macroeconomic data, industry and reporting unit specific facts and circumstances and is our best estimate of operational results and cash flows for the PrimaLoft reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing. The discount rate used in the income approach was 11.3%. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the PrimaLoft reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value, resulting in goodwill impairment expense of $57.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2023.
Velocity Outdoor - The Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing of goodwill at Velocity at August 31, 2023. As a result of operating results that were below the forecast that we used in the quantitative impairment test of Velocity Outdoor at March 31, 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred at Velocity in the third quarter of 2023 and performed an interim impairment test as of August 31, 2023. The Company used an income approach for the impairment test, whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins, and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The Company used a weighted average cost of capital of 17% in the income approach. The discount rate used was based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business specific characteristics and Velocity's ability to execute on projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of Velocity did not exceed its carrying value. The Company recorded goodwill impairment of $31.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.
2023 Annual Impairment Testing
For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2023, we performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of our reporting units except Velocity exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that the Velocity operating segment required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of this reporting unit significantly exceeded the carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. We performed the quantitative test of Velocity using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. In developing the prospective financial information used in the income approach, we considered recent market conditions, taking into consideration the uncertainty associated with the current economic environment. The prospective financial information considers reporting unit specific facts and circumstances and is our best estimate of operational results and cash flows for the Velocity reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing.
63


The discount rate used in the income approach was 15.0%, and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Velocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by approximately 21%. The prospective financial information that is used to determine the fair values of the Velocity reporting unit requires us to make assumptions regarding future operational results including revenue growth rates and gross margins. If we do not achieve the forecasted revenue growth rates and gross margins, the results of the quantitative testing could change, potentially leading to additional testing and impairment at the reporting unit that was tested quantitatively.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
We use a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names with a carrying value of approximately $57.0 million. The results of the qualitative analysis of our reporting unit's indefinite-lived intangible assets, which we completed as of March 31, 2024, indicated that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value.
