Filing evidence summary

Mixed evidenceCoverage 4/5 core metrics

Operating margin changed -1.9 percentage points from the prior annual period.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • Operating margin compressed

    Operating margin changed -1.9 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • Revenue was broadly stable

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +0.9% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

  • No current rule-based risk flags

    9 filing-based checks were evaluable.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $217M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2025-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding.

Participation begins the first day of the quarter following completion of 30 days of service. The Company, with approval of the Board of Directors, may elect to make discretionary matching or non-matching contributions. Costs recognized for Company contributions to the pla n were $15.1 million , $14.9 million and $15.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN The Company sponsors a nonqualified retirement savings plan for certain senior management employees whose contributions to the tax qualified 401(k) plan would be limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows participants to defer receipt of a portion of their salary and incentive compensation and to receive matching contributions for a portion of the deferred amounts. Costs recognized for Company matching contributions to the plan were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Deferred compensation, including accumulated earnings on the participant-directe d investment selections, is distributable in cash at participant-specified dates or upon retirement, death, disability, or termination of employment of the participant.

Fair value · 3,984 characters as filed

NOTE 19 FAIR VALUE MEASURES Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active liquid markets; Level 2 inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions; and Level 3 unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 instruments. Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from inputs, other than quoted market prices in active markets, that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace and quoted prices in markets with limited volume or infrequent transactions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows: As of D

Goodwill and intangibles · 4,339 characters as filed

NOTE 9 INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET AND GOODWILL During the third quarter of 2025, declines in forecasted revenues and gross margins, primarily as a result of impacts from incremental tariffs and a difficult macroeconomic environment, led to triggering events for the prAna and Mountain Hardwear trade names and goodwill reporting units. As a result, the Company performed interim quantitative impairment tests where the Company compared the estimated fair values of the prAna and Mountain Hardwear trade names and goodwill reporting units to their carrying values. The fair values of the prAna and Mountain Hardwear trade names were estimated using a relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. The key assumptions used in the relief-from-royalty method were the Company's estimates of projected revenues, royalty rate, and discount rate, taking into consideration market and industry conditions. In the Company's interim quantitative impairment test of the prAna trade name, the fair value of the prAna trade name was less than its carrying value of $51.8 million and, therefore, an impairment charge of $8.0 million was recorded . In the Company's interim quantitative impairment test of the Mountain Hardwear trade name, the fair value of the Mountain Hardwear trade name exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, no impairment was recorded. The Company did not identify additional triggering events or record additional impairment charges for trade names as part of its annual impairment t

"NOTE 4 SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company defines its operating segments on the basis of the way in which internally reported financial information is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (""CODM"") to analyze performance, make decisions, and allocate resources. The Company aggregates its operating segments with similar economic and operating characteristics into four reportable segments: U.S., LAAP, EMEA, and Canada. These reportable segments are organized by geographic location. Each geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing, and distribution of outdoor, active and lifestyle products, including apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment.

"NOTE 20 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (""IEEPA"") does not authorize a U.S. President to impose tariffs during peacetime national emergencies and that the challenge to the legality of the tariffs imposed under IEEPA (the ""incremental tariffs"") was within the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of International Trade (""CIT""), thus affirming the prior decision of the CIT in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. United States. As a result, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. President issued an executive order stating that the incremental tariffs were no longer in effect and ending the collection of the incremental tariffs. However, the U.S. President then issued an additional executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective on February 24, 2026. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these actions on its operations and consolidated financial statements, including our ability to recover incremental tariffs the Company has paid."
