Clarus Corporation Announces Third Quarter Financial Results

As of September 30, 2010, the Company recorded net deferred tax assets of approximately $71.0 million - not including deferred tax liabilities. After considering deferred tax liabilities of $20.7 million related to the step up in fair value of our assets from purchase accounting in excess of the asset tax basis, our net deferred tax assets totaled $50.3 million at September 30, 2010.

Our stockholders’ equity was $162.3 million or approximately $7.48 per share based on 21.7 million shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

Free Cash Flows

Combined results include the results of the Company and the Predecessor for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, but do not include the results of Gregory prior to the closing date of the Acquisition on May 28, 2010. Combined net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $(13.2) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to combined net cash (used in) provided by operating activities of $(4.0) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in cash used is largely due to $5.1 million of transaction costs, the increase in inventory sold of $4.3 million due to the step up in fair value in purchase accounting, $1.0 million in transition costs, $1.1 million in lease indemnity payments and $0.9 million in merger and integration charges related to the Acquisitions. Excluding these items, the net cash (used in) provided by operating activities would have been $(0.8) million for the nine month period ending September 30, 2010. Historically in the fourth quarter of each year, the Company experiences a decrease in account receivable and inventory levels and generates positive cash flows provided by its operating activities.

Combined capital expenditures were $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $2.6 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in capital expenditures of $1.0 million is due to certain renovation and tooling costs incurred during 2009, which were not incurred during 2010. Free cash flows used, defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures was $(14.8) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $(6.6) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Excluding $5.1 million of transaction costs, $4.3 million in step up value of inventory sold, $1.0 million in transition costs, $1.1 million in lease indemnity payments, and $0.9 million in merger and integration charges related to the Acquisitions, free cash flows used would have been $(2.4) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $(6.6) million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Included in this press release is a reconciliation of combined net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, adjusted net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, and adjusted free cash flows used during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009.
