Clarus reports Q2 adjusted EPS (3c), consensus 0c

Reports Q2 revenue $56.5M, consensus $58.54M. “Against a backdrop of constrained consumers in the outdoor space, we made incremental progress in the second quarter executing Clarus’ strategic initiatives to seek to create long-term value,” said Warren Kanders, Clarus’ Executive Chairman. “We are pleased to see continued improvement in the Outdoor segment, particularly related to simplification and the rationalization of product lines, combined with continued evidence of stabilizing trends in the North American wholesale market, as we focus on our core products and categories. In the Adventure segment, while revenue increased year-over-year for the fourth consecutive quarter, the level of sales growth was affected by constrained consumer demand in the North American market compared to our expectations, and overall profitability was impacted by increased investment aimed at accelerating long-term growth.”
