Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Background, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation

(1) Background, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation:

Background

On November 13, 2019, Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., or SWBI, announced that it was proceeding with a plan to spin-off its outdoor products and accessories business, or the Separation, to our company, American Outdoor Brands, Inc., a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary formed in anticipation of the Separation (our “company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), resulting in two distinct, publicly traded companies.

On August 24, 2020, our former parent, SWBI, completed the Separation through a pro-rata distribution, or the Distribution, of all the outstanding shares of our common stock to the stockholders of record of SWBI as of the close of business on August 10, 2020, the record date for the Distribution, or the Record Date. Each SWBI stockholder of record received one share of our common stock, $0.001 par value, for every four shares of SWBI common stock, $0.001 par value, held by such stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date. SWBI distributed 13,975,104 shares of our common stock in the Distribution, which was effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on August 24, 2020, or the Distribution Date. SWBI was determined to be the spinnor for accounting and legal purposes. As a result of the Distribution, we became an independent public company and our common stock became listed under the symbol “AOUT” on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Prior to the Separation, the unaudited combined financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented as historically managed by our former parent. For those periods prior to the Separation, the unaudited combined financial statements were prepared on a “carve-out” basis as described below.

In connection with the Separation, we entered into several agreements with our former parent that govern the relationship of the parties following the Separation, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement, a Trademark License Agreement, and an Employee Matters Agreement. Under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, our former parent and we have agreed to provide each other certain transitional services, including information technology, information management, and other limited human resources, legal, compliance, and finance and accounting related services for a certain period following the Separation. We have also entered into certain commercial arrangements with our former parent. Expense reimbursements under these agreements are recorded within cost of goods sold or operating expenses, based on the nature of the arrangements.

Description of Business

We are a leading provider of outdoor products and accessories encompassing hunting, fishing, camping, shooting, and personal security and defense products for rugged outdoor enthusiasts. We conceive, design, produce or source, and sell products and accessories, including shooting supplies, rests, vaults, and other related accessories; premium sportsman knives and tools for fishing and hunting; land management tools for hunting preparedness; harvesting products for post-hunt or post-fishing activities; electro-optical devices, including hunting optics, firearm aiming devices, flashlights, and laser grips; reloading, gunsmithing, and firearm cleaning supplies; and survival, camping, and emergency preparedness products. We develop and market our products at our facility in Columbia, Missouri and contract for the manufacture and assembly of most of our products with third-parties located in Asia. We also manufacture some of our electro-optics products in our facility in Wilsonville, Oregon.

We focus on our brands and the establishment of product categories in which we believe our brands will resonate strongly with the activities and passions of consumers and enable us to capture an increasing share of our overall addressable markets. Our owned brands include Caldwell, Wheeler, Tipton, Frankford Arsenal, Hooyman, BOG, MEAT!, Uncle Henry, Old Timer, Imperial, Crimson Trace, LaserLyte, Lockdown, UST, BUBBA, and Schrade, and we license for use in association with certain products we sell additional brands, including M&P, Smith & Wesson, Performance Center by Smith & Wesson, and Thompson/Center Arms. In focusing on the growth of our brands, we organize our creative, product development, sourcing, and e-commerce teams into four brand lanes, each of which focuses on one of four distinct consumer verticals – Marksman, Defender, Harvester, and Adventurer – with each of our brands included in one of the brand lanes. Our sales activities are focused and measured on how we go to market within the e-commerce and traditional distribution channels. These two channels involve distinct strategies to increase net sales and enhance market share. Our sales team is organized by customer groups, which we refer to as classes of trade, within the e-commerce and traditional channels and sells our products from all brands in all four of our brand lanes. We measure our success through sales performance in these distribution channels against prior results and our own expectations.

Our Marksman brands address product needs arising from consumer activities that take place primarily at the shooting range and where firearms are cleaned, maintained, and worked on. Our Defender brands include products that help consumers aim their firearms more accurately, including situations that require self-defense, and products that help secure, store, and maintain connectivity to those possessions that some consumers would consider to be high value or high consequence. Our Harvester brands focus on the activities hunters typically engage in, including hunting preparation, the hunt itself, and the activities that follow a hunt, such as meat processing. Our Adventurer brands include products that help enhance consumers’ fishing and camping experiences.

Basis of Presentation – Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Our financial statements for the periods through the Separation date of August 24, 2020 are combined financial statements prepared on a “carve-out” basis as discussed below. Our financial statements for the period from August 24, 2020 through January 31, 2021 are consolidated financial statements based on our reported results as a standalone company. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Combined Balance Sheet at April 30, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements.

The consolidated and combined financial statements at January 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited, but in our opinion include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these consolidated and combined financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our registration statement on Form 10 (File No. 001-39366), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on July 2, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on July 13, 2020, or the Form 10.

Basis of Presentation –Prior to the Separation

Prior to the Separation, the combined financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by our former parent and various of its subsidiaries, but are specifically identifiable to or otherwise attributable to the outdoor products and accessories business. Our combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss), prior to the Separation, also include costs for certain pre-Separation centralized functions and programs provided and administered by our former parent that have been charged directly to SWBI businesses, including us. These centralized functions and programs include information technology, human resources, accounting, legal, and insurance. These costs were included in general and administrative expenses in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

In addition, for purposes of preparing the combined financial statements, prior to the Separation, on a “carve-out” basis, a portion of our former parent’s total corporate expenses were allocated to us. These expense allocations include the cost of corporate functions and resources provided by our former parent, including executive management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, internal audit, and the related benefit costs associated with such functions, such as stock-based compensation, and the cost of our former parent’s Springfield, Massachusetts corporate headquarters.

In fiscal 2020, our former parent began operating a new distribution facility in Columbia, Missouri, which included shared distribution expenses between our former parent and us. In addition to the portion of our former parent’s corporate expenses allocated to us prior to the Separation, a portion of our former parent’s total distribution expenses were allocated to us. These expense allocations include selling, distribution, inventory management, warehouse, and fulfillment services provided by our former parent and the related benefit costs associated with such functions, such as stock-based compensation and the cost of the our former parent’s Columbia, Missouri distribution facility. For the period prior to the Separation in fiscal 2021, we were allocated $2.7 million for such corporate expenses, which were included within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated and combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, we were allocated $1.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for such corporate expenses. For the period prior to the Separation in fiscal 2021, we were also allocated $1.9 million of such distribution expenses, which were included within cost of sales; selling, marketing, and distribution expenses; and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated and combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, we were allocated $2.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of distribution expenses.

Prior to the Separation, costs were allocated to us based on direct usage when identifiable or, when not directly identifiable, on the basis of proportional net sales, employee headcount, delivery units, or square footage, as applicable. We consider the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit received by, us during the periods presented. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses we would have incurred if we had been a standalone company for the periods presented prior to the Separation. Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure. Going forward, we may perform these functions using our own resources or outsourced services. For a period following the Separation, however, some of these functions will continue to be provided by our former parent under a Transition Services Agreement. Additionally, we will provide some services to our former parent under such Transition Services Agreement. We also entered into certain commercial arrangements with our former parent in connection with the Separation.

Prior to the Separation, our former parent utilized a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. The cash and cash equivalents held by our former parent at the corporate level were not specifically identifiable to us and therefore have not been reflected in our combined balance sheet. Cash transfers between us and our former parent were accounted for through former parent company investment. Cash and cash equivalents in the pre-Separation combined balance sheet represent cash and cash equivalents held by legal entities that were transferred to us or amounts otherwise attributable to us. The combined financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at our former parent’s corporate level, but are specifically identifiable or other attributable to us.

Our former parent incurred debt and related debt issuance costs with respect to the acquisitions of the carved-out businesses. However, such debt has been refinanced since the consummation of these acquisitions, and the proceeds of such refinancing have been utilized for retirement of original debt obligations and the funding of other former parent expenditures. As a result, our former parent’s third-party long-term debt and the related interest expense have not been allocated to us for any of the periods presented as we were not the legal obligor of such debt.

Subsequent to the completion of the Separation, we continue to incur costs to establish certain standalone functions, information technology systems, and other one-time costs. Recurring standalone costs include accounting, financial reporting, tax, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, treasury, legal, and investor relations functions, as well as the annual expenses associated with running an independent, publicly traded company, including listing fees, board of director fees, and external audit costs. Recurring standalone costs may differ materially from historical allocations, which may have an impact on profitability and operating cash flows.

All intracompany transactions have been eliminated. All transactions between us and our former parent have been included in these consolidated and combined financial statements. The aggregate net effect of such transactions that are not historically settled in cash has been reflected in the consolidated and combined balance sheet as parent company investment and in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows as net transfers to and from our former parent.

Reclassification

We have adjusted the accompanying combined balance sheet as of April 30, 2020 for an immaterial correction of an error to appropriately present deferred income taxes, in the amount of $3.6 million, as non-current, which was previously presented as a current asset.

Fiscal Year

We operate and report using a fiscal year ending on April 30 of each year.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which became effective for us on May 1, 2018. Performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized when title has transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment, but could be delayed until the receipt of customer acceptance.

In some instances, sales include multiple performance obligations. The most common of these instances relates to sales promotion programs under which customers are entitled to receive free goods based upon their purchase of our products, which we have identified as a material right. The fulfillment of these free goods is our responsibility. In such instances, we allocate the transaction price of the promotional sales based on the estimated level of participation in the sales promotional program and the timing of the shipment of all of the products included in the promotional program, including the free goods. We recognize revenue related to the material right proportionally as each performance obligation is satisfied. The net change in contract liabilities for a given period is reported as an increase or decrease to sales.

We generally sell our products free on board, or FOB, shipping point and provide payment terms to most commercial customers ranging from 20 to 90 days of product shipment with discounts available to some customers for early payment. Generally, framework contracts define the general terms of sales, including payment terms, freight terms, insurance requirements, and cancelation provisions. Purchase orders define the terms for specific sales, including description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. We estimate variable consideration relative to the amount of cash discounts to which customers are likely to be entitled. In some instances, we provide longer payment terms, particularly as it relates to promotional programs. We do not consider these extended terms to be a significant financing component of the contract because the payment terms are less than one year. In all cases, we consider our costs related to shipping and handling to be a cost of fulfilling the contract with the customer.

We sponsor direct to consumer customer loyalty programs in which customers earn rewards from qualifying purchases or activities. We defer revenue for a portion of the transaction price from product sales to customers that earn loyalty points. We recognize revenue upon shipment of the products associated with the loyalty points and record an offsetting reserve utilizing a breakage factor based on historical redemption.

Net sales reflect adjustments for estimated allowances for trade terms, sales incentive programs, discounts, markdowns, chargebacks, and returns. These allowances are estimated based on evaluations of specific product and customer circumstances, historical and anticipated trends, and current economic conditions.

Accounts Receivable

We record trade accounts receivable at invoiced amounts, less estimated allowances for trade terms, sales incentive programs, discounts, markdowns, chargebacks, and returns as discussed under Revenue Recognition above. We extend credit to our domestic customers and some foreign distributors based on their financial condition. We sometimes offer discounts for early payment on invoices. When we believe the extension of credit is not advisable, we rely on either a prepayment or a letter of credit. We write off balances deemed uncollectible by us against our allowance for credit loss accounts. We estimate our allowance for credit losses based on relevant information such as historical experience, current conditions, and future expectation for each pool of similar financial assets.

In November 2020, we entered into a factoring arrangement with a designated financial institution specifically designed to factor trade receivables with a certain customer that has extended terms, which are traditional to the customer’s industry. Under this factoring arrangement, from time to time, we sell this certain customer’s trade receivables at a discount on a non-recourse basis. These transactions are accounted for as sales and cash proceeds are included in cash provided by operating activities in the statement of cash flows. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2021, we recorded an immaterial amount of factoring fees related to factoring transactions, which are included in other income/(expense), net on our consolidated and combined statement of operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. We place our cash and cash equivalents in overnight U.S. government securities. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited by the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their geographic and business dispersion. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral.

For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2021, one of our customers accounted for more than 10% of our net sales and accounted for $23.5 million, or 28.4%, and $61.8 million, or 29.1%, respectively, of our net sales. As of January 31, 2021, two of our customers exceeded 10% or more of our accounts receivable and accounted for $17.6 million, or 31.4%, and $6.3 million, or 11.2%, respectively, of our accounts receivable.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

(2) Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, or ASU 2020-04 to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the contract modifications, hedge relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04, which was effective upon issuance and may be applied through December 31, 2022, is applicable to all contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or any other reference rate expected to be discontinued. We are currently evaluating the new guidance and the expected effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, or ASU 2019-12, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for intraperiod tax allocations and deferred tax liabilities for equity method investments and adds guidance regarding whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination or a separate transaction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this ASU on May 1, 2021 and do not expect this new guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards – In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13. Effective May 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016- 13, which requires financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as our trade receivables, to be presented net of expected credit losses, which may be estimated based on relevant information such as historical experience, current conditions, and future expectation for each pool of similar financial assets. We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method, whereby the guidance was applied prospectively as of the date of adoption and prior periods are not restated. The cumulative effect of adoption was not material.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for change in accounting principle. Includes, but is not limited to, nature, reason, and method of adopting amendment to accounting standards or other change in accounting principle.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

(3) Leases:

We lease certain of our real estate, machinery, photocopiers, and vehicles under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. We recognize expenses under our operating lease assets and liabilities at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease agreements do not require material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, or restrictive covenants. For operating leases, we recognize expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances are recorded as an offsetting adjustment included in our calculation of the respective right-of-use asset.

Many of our leases include renewal options that can extend the lease term. The execution of those renewal options is at our sole discretion and are reflected in the lease term when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.

The amounts of assets and liabilities related to our operating leases as of January 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

	January 31, 2021
Operating Leases
Right-of-use assets	$	27,449
Accumulated amortization		(1,664	)
Right-of-use assets, net	$	25,785

Lease liabilities, current portion	$	1,758
Lease liabilities, net of current portion		25,239
Total operating lease liabilities	$	26,997

We recorded $965,000 of operating lease costs, of which $32,000 were short-term operating lease costs, during the three months ended January 31, 2021. We recorded $2.2 million of operating lease costs, of which $217,000 were short-term operating lease costs, during the nine months ended January 31, 2021. We recorded $369,000 of operating lease costs, of which $142,000 were short-term operating lease costs, during the three months ended January 31, 2020. We recorded $1.1 million of operating lease costs, of which $365,000 were short-term operating lease costs, during the nine months ended January 31, 2020. As of January 31, 2021, our weighted average lease term and weighted average discount rate for our operating leases was 16.8 years and 5.3%, respectively. The depreciable lives of Right-of-use assets are limited by the lease term and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

On August 24, 2020 and as part of the Separation, we entered into an 18-year sublease for our corporate offices and warehouse with our former parent, which is payable in 216 monthly installments through fiscal 2039. We evaluated this lease under ASC 842-10 – Leases, or ASU 842-10, which requires that leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting

purposes. Based on our evaluation under ASC 842-10, we determined that the sublease qualified as an operating lease because the net present value of all the lease payments did not exceed 90% of the fair market value of the subleased building space. We recorded an operating Right-of-use lease asset and liability in the amount of $24.5 million. The effective interest rate for this lease is 5.4%.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2021, we terminated an operating lease for office space in Park City, Utah. We recorded a reduction of Right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $640,000 for terminating this lease.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2021, we entered into an operating lease for administrative office space in Chicopee, Massachusetts and recorded a Right-of-use asset and lease liability of $369,000.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2021, we terminated an operating lease for office space in Bentonville, Arkansas. We recorded a reduction of Right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $240,000 for terminating this lease.

Future lease payments for all our operating leases for the remainder of fiscal 2021 and for succeeding fiscal years are as follows (in thousands):

	Operating
2021	$	791
2022		3,132

We amortize intangible assets with determinable lives over a weighted-average period of approximately five years. The weighted-average periods of amortization by intangible asset class is approximately five years for customer relationships, six years for developed technology, and five years for patents, trademarks, and trade names. Amortization expense amounted to $4.1 million and $12.2 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2021, respectively. Amortization expense amounted to $4.7 million and $14.0 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal 2021 and succeeding full fiscal years is as follows (in thousands):

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement

(5) Fair Value Measurement:

We follow the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, or ASC 820-10, for our financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access at the measurement date (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities, listed derivatives, and most U.S. Government and agency securities).

Our cash and cash equivalents, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, totaled $45.5 million as of January 31, 2021 and $234,000 as of April 30, 2020. We utilized Level 1 of the value hierarchy to determine the fair values of these assets.

Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets in which trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets. Level 2 inputs include the following:

•

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (such as corporate and municipal bonds which trade infrequently);

•

inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (such as interest rate and currency swaps); and

•

inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (such as certain securities and derivatives).

Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect our assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Debt

(7) Debt:

On August 24, 2020, we entered into a new financing arrangement consisting of a $50.0 million revolving line of credit secured by substantially all our assets, maturing five years from the closing date, with available borrowings determined by a borrowing base calculation. Based on this calculation, the entire $50.0 million was available to us as of January 31, 2021. The revolving line includes an option to increase the credit commitment for an additional $15.0 million. The revolving line bears interest at a fluctuating rate equal to the Base Rate or LIBOR, as applicable, plus the applicable margin. If adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, any borrowing under the credit facility may be converted into Base Rate Loans. The applicable margin can range from a minimum of 0.75% to a maximum of 2.25% based on certain conditions as defined in the credit agreement. The financing arrangement contains covenants relating to minimum debt service coverage. As of January 31, 2021, there were no borrowings under the revolving line of credit. If we would have had borrowings at January 31, 2021, those borrowings would have borne interest at approximately 1.95%, which is equal to the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin. We recorded $410,000 of debt issuance costs associated with entering into this financing arrangement. These debt issuance costs are included as part of Other assets as presented on the Balance Sheet.

Equity

(8) Equity:

Earnings per Share

On August 24, 2020, the date of consummation of the Separation, SWBI distributed 13,975,104 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to SWBI stockholders of record as of August 10, 2020, the Record Date. We utilize this share amount for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Separation as all common stock was owned by our former parent prior to the Separation. For the 2020 quarter to date calculations, these shares are treated as issued and outstanding at January 31, 2020 for purposes of calculating historical basic and diluted earnings per share. For periods prior to the Separation, it is assumed that there are no dilutive equity instruments as we had no stock-based awards outstanding prior to the Separation.

We compute diluted earnings per share by giving effect to all potentially dilutive stock awards that are outstanding. For periods subsequent to the Separation, the computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive. There were no shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2021. After the Separation, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2021 was based on the weighted-average number of actual common shares outstanding assuming the number of shares of AOUT common stock outstanding on August 24, 2020 had been outstanding at the beginning of each period presented.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the net income amounts and weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used to determine basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except per share data):

	For the Three Months Ended January 31,

Incentive Stock and Employee Stock Purchase Plans

Prior to the Separation and Distribution, our employees participated in two SWBI sponsored incentive stock plans. All grants made prior to the Separation and Distribution covering all participants were issued under those plans.

Certain of our employees have participated in SWBI’s 2013 Incentive Stock Plan. The following disclosures of stock-based compensation expense recognized by us, prior to the Separation, are based on grants related directly to our employees and an allocation of our former parent’s corporate and shared employee stock-based compensation expenses. Accordingly, the amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future awards and do not necessarily reflect the results that we would have experienced as an independent company for the periods presented.

In connection with the Separation, outstanding and vested awards granted to employees under SWBI’s incentive stock plans were converted into our stock-based awards. Unvested awards held by our employees were converted into our stock-based awards. The ratio used to convert the SWBI incentive plan awards was intended to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of each award immediately after the Separation when compared to the aggregate intrinsic value immediately prior to the Separation. All performance-based restricted share units, or PSUs, outstanding on the Distribution Date were converted to PSUs using payout metrics based on a combination of actual performance through the Distribution Date and the target for the remainder of the performance period. Due to the conversion, we expect to incur $711,000 of incremental stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the awards' remaining 1.4 year vesting period.

Post-Separation, we have a separate stock incentive plan, or the 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan, under which we can grant new awards to our employees and directors. The 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan authorizes the issuance of awards covering up to 1,397,510 shares of our common stock. The plan permits the grant of options to acquire common stock, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or RSUs, stock appreciation rights, bonus stock and awards in lieu of obligations, performance awards, and dividend equivalents. Our board of directors, or a committee established by our board, administers the incentive plan, selects recipients to whom awards are granted, and determines the grants to be awarded. Stock options granted under the plan are exercisable at a price determined by our Board of Directors or a committee thereof at the time of grant, but in no event, less than fair market value of our common stock on the date granted. Grants of options may be made to employees and directors without regard to any performance measures. All options issued pursuant to the incentive plan are generally nontransferable and subject to forfeiture.

Unless terminated earlier by our Board of Directors, the 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan will terminate at the earliest of (1) the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan, or (2) such time as no shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the plan and we have no further rights or obligations with respect to outstanding awards under the plan. The date of grant of an award is deemed to be the date upon which our Board of Directors or a committee thereof authorizes the granting of such award.

Except in specific circumstances, grants generally vest over a period of three or four years and grants of stock options are exercisable for a period of 10 years. The 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan also permits the grant of awards to non-employees.

We recognized $904,000 and $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2021, respectively. Of the total stock-based compensation we recognized for the period prior to the Separation, $224,000 related to allocations of our former parent’s corporate and shared employee stock-based compensation expense.

We recognized a stock-based compensation benefit of $299,000 and stock-based compensation expense of $368,000 during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, respectively. Of the total stock-based compensation expense recognized by us, $211,000 and $443,000 related directly to our employees for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, respectively, while a stock-based compensation benefit of $508,000 and $75,000 recorded for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, respectively, related to allocations of our former parent’s corporate and shared employee stock-based compensation. The allocated stock-based compensation benefit recorded in the prior year was a result of the expense reversal associated with the termination of our former parent’s former Chief Executive Officer.

Stock-based compensation expense is included in the cost of sales, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses.

We grant RSUs to employees and directors. The awards are made at no cost to the recipient. An RSU represents the right to receive one share of AOUT common stock and does not carry voting or dividend rights. Except in specific circumstances, RSU grants to employees generally vest over a period of four years with one-fourth of the units vesting on each anniversary of the grant date. The aggregate fair value of our RSU grants is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period. Awards that do not vest are forfeited.

We grant PSUs to our executive officers and certain employees from time to time. At the time of grant, we calculate the fair value of our PSUs using the Monte-Carlo simulation. We incorporate the following variables into the valuation model:

	For the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2021
Grant date fair market value
American Outdoor Brands, Inc.	$	13.30
Russell 2000 Index	$	1,504.59
Volatility (a)
American Outdoor Brands, Inc.		47.54	%
Russell 2000 Index		27.70	%
Correlation coefficient (b)		0.48
Risk-free interest rate (c)		0.17	%
Dividend yield (d)		0	%

(a)

Expected volatility is calculated based on a peer group over the most recent period that represents the remaining term of the performance period as of the valuation date, or three years.

(b)

The correlation coefficient utilizes the same historical price data used to develop the volatility assumptions.

(c)

The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bill, commensurate with the three-year performance period.

(d)

We do not plan to pay dividends.

The PSUs vest, and the fair value of such PSUs will be recognized, over the corresponding three-year performance period. Our PSUs have a maximum aggregate award equal to 200% of the target unit amount granted. Generally, the number of PSUs that may be earned depends upon the total stockholder return, or TSR, of our common stock compared with the TSR of the Russell 2000 Index, or RUT, over the three-year performance period. For PSUs, our stock must outperform the RUT by 5% in order for the target award to vest. In addition, there is a cap on the number of shares that can be earned under our PSUs, which is equal to six times the grant-date value of each award.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2021, we granted an aggregate of 166,319 service-based RSUs to executive officers, non-executive officer employees, and directors, and 78,045 PSUs to certain executive officers and employees under our 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan. During the nine months ended January 31, 2021, we cancelled 477 service-based RSUs as a result of the service condition not being met. In connection with the vesting of RSUs, during the nine months ended January 31, 2021, we delivered common stock to directors under our 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan with a total market value of $541,000.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2020, we granted an aggregate of 30,044 service-based RSUs to non-executive officer employees. During the nine months ended January 31, 2020, we cancelled 49,617 service-based RSUs as a result of the service condition not being met. In connection with the vesting of RSUs, during the nine months ended January 31, 2020, we delivered common stock to our employees, including our executive officers, with a total market value of $244,000.

A summary of activity for unvested RSUs and PSUs under our 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan for the nine months ended January 31, 2021 is as follows:

	For the nine months ended January 31, 2021
				Weighted
	Total # of			Average
	Restricted			Grant Date
	Stock Units			Fair Value
RSUs and PSUs outstanding, beginning of period	—			$	—
Converted on August 24, 2020		237,589			9.20
Awarded		244,364			14.10
Vested		(36,221	)		11.41
Forfeited		(477	)		12.77
RSUs and PSUs outstanding, end of period		445,255		$	11.70

As of January 31, 2021, there was $3.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and PSUs. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.7 years.

Prior to the Separation, certain of our employees have participated in our former parent’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the SWBI ESPP, in which each participant is granted an option to purchase SWBI common stock on each subsequent exercise date during the offering period (as such terms are defined in the SWBI ESPP) in accordance with the terms of the SWBI ESPP.

Post-Separation, we have a separate employee stock purchase plan, or the ESPP, which authorizes the sale of up to 419,253 shares of our common stock to employees. All options and rights to participate in our ESPP are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture in accordance with our ESPP guidelines. Our current ESPP will be implemented in a series of successive offering periods, each with a maximum duration of 12 months. If the fair market value per share of our common stock on any purchase date is less than the fair market value per share on the start date of a 12-month offering period, then that offering period will automatically terminate, and a new 12-month offering period will begin on the next business day. Each offering period will begin on April 1 or October 1, as applicable, immediately following the end of the previous offering period. Payroll deductions will be on an after-tax basis, in an amount of not less than 1% and not more than 20% (or such greater percentage as the committee appointed to administer our ESPP may establish from time to time before the first day of an offering period) of a participant’s compensation on each payroll date. The option exercise price per share will equal 85% of the lower of the fair market value on the first day of the offering period or the fair market value on the exercise date. The maximum number of shares that a participant may purchase during any purchase period is 2,500 shares, or a total of $25,000 in shares, based on the fair market value on the first day of the offering period. Our ESPP will remain in effect until the earliest of (a) the exercise date that participants become entitled to purchase a number of shares greater than the number of reserved shares available for purchase under our ESPP, (b) such date as is determined by our board of directors in its discretion, or (c) the tenth anniversary of the effective date. In the event of certain corporate transactions, each option outstanding under our ESPP will be assumed or an equivalent option will be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation.

The income tax expense/(benefit) included in the consolidated and combined statements of operations is based upon the estimated effective tax rate for the year, adjusted for the impact of discrete items which are accounted for in the period in which they occur. We recorded income tax expense of $2.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and income tax benefit of $149,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2020. The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was 21.8% and 50.3%, respectively. Income tax expense for three months ended January 31, 2020 included a discrete tax benefit of $740,000 associated with the allocation of a portion of our former parent’s total corporate and distribution expenses for the purposes of presenting the combined financial statements on a carve-out basis. We recorded income tax expense of $5.7 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2021 and an income tax benefit of $1.4 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2020. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was 25.1% and 19.7%, respectively. Income tax expense/(benefit) for nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 included a discrete tax benefit of $575,000 and $2.1 million respectively, associated with the allocation of a portion of our former parent’s total corporate and distribution expenses for the purposes of presenting the combined financial statements on a carve-out basis. For the period prior to the Separation, income taxes were recorded based on a carve-out basis. Prior to the Separation, our portion of income taxes were settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded. After the Separation, our income taxes are prepared on a stand-alone basis.

We have evaluated our operations under ASC 280-10-50-1 – Segment Reporting, or ASU 280-10-50-1, and have concluded that we are operating as one segment based on several key factors, including the reporting and review process used by the chief operating decision maker, our President and Chief Executive Officer, who reviews only one set of complete financial statements and makes decisions to allocate resources based on those financial statements. Although we currently sell our products under 20 distinct brands that are organized into four brand lanes and include specific product sales that have identified revenue streams, these brand lanes are focused almost entirely on product development and marketing activities and do not qualify as separate reporting units under ASC 280-10-50-1. Other sales and customer focused activities, operating activities, and administrative activities are not divided by brand lane and, therefore, expenses related to each brand lane are not accumulated or reviewed individually. Our business is evaluated based upon a number of financial and operating measures, including sales, gross profit and gross margin, operating expenses, and operating margin.

Our business includes our outdoor products and accessories products, which we develop, source, market, and distribute at our facilities in Columbia, Missouri, and our electro-optics products, which we assemble in our Wilsonville, Oregon facility. We report operating costs based on the activities performed.

- Definition

Reportable segments include those that meet any of the following quantitative thresholds a) it's reported revenue, including sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments b) the absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount of 1) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or 2) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss c) its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Related Party Transactions

(13) Related Party Transactions:

Prior to the Separation, the combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of SWBI, our former Parent. The following discussion summarizes activity between us and the former Parent prior to the Separation on August 24, 2020 (and its affiliates that are not part of the Separation).

Allocation of General Corporate Expenses

Prior to the Separation, the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) included expenses for certain centralized functions and other programs provided and administered by the former Parent that were charged directly to us. In addition, for purposes of preparing these combined financial statements on a carve-out basis, we have allocated a portion of the former Parent total corporate and selling, marketing, and distribution expenses to us. See Note 1 – Background, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation for a discussion of the methodology used to allocate corporate-related costs and selling, marketing, and distribution expenses for purposes of preparing these financial statements on a carve-out basis.

Related Party Sales and Purchases

For the period prior to the Separation in fiscal 2021, our sales to the former Parent totaled $2.4 million during our fiscal year 2021, which are included in net sales in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). Our sales to the former Parent totaled $3.1 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2020, respectively. Our cost of goods sold included an immaterial amount for items purchased from the former Parent for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020. As of January 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020, there was an immaterial amount and $435,000, respectively, of inventories purchased from the former Parent that remain on our consolidated and combined balance sheet.

Net Transfers To and From our former parent

Prior to the Separation, the former Parent utilized a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Disbursements were made through centralized accounts payable systems, which were operated by the former Parent. Cash receipts were transferred to centralized accounts, which were also maintained by the former Parent. As cash was received and disbursed by the former Parent, it was accounted for by us through the former parent company investment. Certain related party transactions between us and the former Parent have been included within the former parent company investment in the combined balance sheets in the historical periods presented. All notes to and from the former parent company were settled in connection with the Separation. As of April 30, 2020, the former net parent company investment included related party receivables due from the former Parent of $85.0 million. The interest income and expense related to the activity with the former Parent that was historically included in our results prior to the Separation is presented on a net basis in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). Interest income on the activity with the former Parent was $424,000 during the first four months of our fiscal year 2021 and prior to the Separation and $3.6 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2020. The total effect of the settlement of these related party transactions is reflected as a financing activity in the combined statements of cash flows. On August 24, 2020, the former Parent capitalized our company with $25.0 million of cash as part of the Separation.
