Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On May 7, 2026, Clarus Corporation (the “Company”)
issued a press release announcing its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the “Press Release”). A copy of
the Press Release and an investor presentation regarding the Company’s results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the “Presentation”)
are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Press Release and the Presentation contain
the non-GAAP measures: (i) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted net income (loss) and related earnings (loss)
per diluted share, (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”),
EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow (defined as net cash used in operating activities
less capital expenditures). The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: (i) adjusted gross margin and
adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted net income (loss) and related earnings (loss) per diluted share, (iii) EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow, provides useful information to understand its ongoing operations and enables
investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the overall understanding of the Company’s
current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, along with the nearest GAAP measures, a baseline for modeling
future earnings expectations. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within the Press Release and the
Presentation. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted EBITDA margin for the
fiscal year 2026 to net income for the fiscal year 2026, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of
forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not adjusted EBITDA and/or adjusted
EBITDA margin. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s
reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures
are comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report
on Form 8-K (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act
of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except
as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
