Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations. Vista Outdoor Inc. (together with our subsidiaries, "Vista Outdoor", "we", "our", and "us", unless the context otherwise requires) is a leading global designer, manufacturer, and marketer of outdoor recreation and shooting sports products. We made changes to our reporting units and reportable segments during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 19, Operating Segment Information, for further information. We operate through four reportable segments, The Kinetic Group, Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology. We are headquartered in Anoka, Minnesota and have manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States, Mexico, and Puerto Rico along with international customer service, sales and sourcing operations in Asia and Europe. We have a robust global distribution network serving customers in over 100 countries. Vista Outdoor was incorporated in Delaware in 2014.
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include our net assets and results of operations as described above. All intercompany transactions and accounts within the businesses have been eliminated.
Fiscal Year. References in this report to a particular fiscal year refer to the year ended March 31 of that calendar year. Our interim quarterly periods are based on 13-week periods and end on Sundays.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ from those estimates. We review our estimates to ensure that these estimates properly reflect changes in our business or as new information becomes available.
Sale of The Kinetic Group and Planned Separation
On October 15, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) to sell The Kinetic Group business (formerly the Sporting Products business) to CZECHOSLOVAK GROUP a.s. (“CSG”), for an enterprise value of $1,910,000 ("the base purchase price") on a cash-free, debt-free basis subject to working capital adjustments, in an all-cash transaction (the “Sporting Products Sale”). The Sporting Products Sale represents the next step in Vista Outdoor’s plan to split Vista Outdoor into two separate entities, which was previously announced on May 5, 2022. Pursuant to a Separation Agreement entered into between Vista Outdoor and Revelyst, Inc. (“Revelyst”) simultaneously with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Vista Outdoor will separate its Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology segments (together, the “Revelyst business”, formerly the Outdoor Products business) from The Kinetic Group business by transferring the assets and liabilities of the Revelyst business to a wholly owned subsidiary of Vista Outdoor, Revelyst, and CSG will merge one of its subsidiaries with Vista Outdoor (holding only The Kinetic Group business), with each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Vista Outdoor, ("Vista Outdoor Common Stock") outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of such transaction (other than shares held by Vista Outdoor, its subsidiaries or CSG, which will be canceled, and shares subject to appraisal demands in connection with the Sporting Products Sale) being converted into the right to receive (a) one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of Revelyst and (b) $12.90 in cash (“Cash Consideration”).
On May 27, 2024, the parties entered into the first amendment to the Sporting Products Sale (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment:
1.increases the base purchase price from $1,910,000 to $1,960,000;
2.increases the Cash Consideration from $12.90 to $16.00 in cash per share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock; and
3.provides that certain Vista Outdoor restricted stock units held by Company employees will be converted into restricted cash awards, subject to the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Vista Outdoor restricted stock units , including vesting terms, to the extent necessary to address adverse tax consequences to such employees and the Company under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.
The Sporting Products Sale is expected to close in calendar year 2024, subject to approval of our stockholders, receipt of clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the proposed transaction or that the Sporting Products Sale will be completed.
Revenue Recognition. For the majority of our contracts with customers, we recognize revenue for our products at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment and coincides with our right to payment, the transfer of legal title, and the transfer of the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product. For our contracts that include bundled and hardware and software sales, revenue related to delivered hardware and bundled software is recognized when control has transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment. Revenue allocated to unspecified software update rights is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period they are expected to be provided.
The total amount of revenue we recognize for the sale of our products reflects various sales adjustments for discounts, returns, refunds, allowances, rebates, and other customer incentives. These sales adjustments can vary based on market conditions, customer preferences, timing of customer payments, volume of products sold, and timing of new product launches. These adjustments require management to make reasonable estimates of the amount we expect to receive from the customer. We estimate sales adjustments by customer or by product category on the basis of our historical experience with similar contracts with customers, adjusted as necessary to reflect current facts and circumstances and our expectations for the future. Sales taxes, firearms and ammunition excise tax, and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue. Revenue recognition is discussed in further detail in Note 5, Revenue Recognition.
For the immaterial amount of our contracts that have multiple performance obligations, which represent promises within an arrangement that are distinct, we allocate revenue to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSPs”). When available, we use observable prices to determine SSPs. When observable prices are not available, SSPs are established that reflect our best estimates of what the selling prices of the performance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. We allocate revenue and any related discounts to these performance obligations based on their relative SSPs.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes material, labor, and overhead costs associated with product manufacturing, including depreciation, amortization, purchasing and receiving, inspection, warehousing, product liability, warranty, and inbound and outbound shipping and handling costs.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs consist primarily of compensation and benefits and experimental work materials for our employees who are responsible for the development and enhancement of new and existing products. Research and development costs incurred to develop new products and to enhance existing products are charged to expense as incurred.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense includes, among other items, administrative salaries, benefits, commissions, advertising, insurance, and professional fees.
Advertising Costs. Advertising and promotional costs including print ads, commercials, catalogs, and brochures are expensed in the period when the first advertisement is run. Our co-op program is structured so that certain customers are eligible for reimbursement for certain types of advertisements on qualifying product purchases and are accrued as purchases are made. Advertising costs totaled $58,259, $59,189, and $58,028 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents are all highly liquid cash investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
Allowance for Estimated Credit Losses. We maintain an allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable for future expected credit losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. We estimate the allowance based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, and the customers' financial condition and in relation to a representative pool of assets consisting of a large number of customers with similar risk characteristics. The allowance is adjusted as appropriate to reflect differences in current conditions as well as changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, or net realizable value. Inventory costs associated with work in process inventory and finished goods include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead, while costs associated with raw materials and purchased finished goods include material and inbound freight costs. We provide inventory allowances for any excess and obsolete inventories and periodically write inventory amounts down to market when costs exceed market value.
Warranty Costs. We provide consumer warranties against manufacturing defects on certain products with warranty periods typically ranging from one year to the expected lifetime of the product. The estimated costs of such product warranties are recorded at the time the sale is recorded. Estimated future warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale based upon actual past experience, our current production environment as well as specific and identifiable warranties as applicable. See Note 12, Other Current Liabilities, for additional detail.
Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability (the exit price) in the principal and most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. We measure and disclose the fair value of nonfinancial and financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The measurement of assets and liabilities at fair value are classified using the following three-tier hierarchy:
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3—One or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
See Note 2, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for additional disclosure regarding fair value of financial instruments.
Goodwill. We test goodwill for impairment on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is assigned to our reporting units, which are our operating segments, or components of an operating segment, that constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available, and for which segment management regularly reviews the operating results.
During the annual impairment review process we have the option to first perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “step zero”) over relative events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value or to perform a quantitative assessment (“step one”) where we estimate the fair value of each reporting unit using both an income and market approach. We completed a step zero assessment during the fourth quarter, and concluded there were no indicators of impairment. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for discussion and details.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, as a result of an increasingly challenging economic environment for consumers due to higher interest rate expectations continuing, and other factors affecting the market for our products, we reduced our projections for fiscal year 2024 and beyond for the majority of our reporting units within the former Revelyst reportable segment. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 19, Operating Segment Information, for further information on changes to our reporting units and reportable segments during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. As a result of a downward revision of forecasted cash flows due to lower volume and profitability expectations, combined with the decline in our stock price in the third fiscal quarter, we concluded that triggering events had occurred potentially indicating that the fair values of certain reporting units within our former Revelyst reportable segment were less than their carrying values. Based on these events, we completed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis and recognized goodwill impairment losses of $161,714 related to reporting units within our former Revelyst reportable segment, which are included in "Impairment of goodwill and intangibles" on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal year 2024. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information.
For the third quarter fiscal year 2024 interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, we determined the estimated fair value of each reporting unit and compared it to their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. The fair value of each reporting unit was determined considering both an income and market approach. We weighted the valuations of our former Revelyst segment reporting units using 100% of the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The weighted average cost of capital used in the income approach ranged between 12.5% and 16.0%, which was derived from the financial structures of comparable companies corresponding to the industry of each reporting unit. We weighted the value of The Kinetic Group reporting unit using 100% of the market approach, based on the offer accepted in the Sporting Products Sale. This market approach method estimates the price reasonably expected to be realized.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the assets might be impaired. We completed a step zero assessment during the fourth quarter, and concluded there were no indicators of impairment on our indefinite-lived intangibles. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for discussion and details.
In conjunction with our interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, we performed a fair value analysis on our indefinite-lived trademarks and trade names within the former Revelyst reportable segment, which resulted in impairment losses of $50,300, related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. These losses are included in "Impairment of goodwill and intangibles" on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal year of 2024. We also performed a step zero analysis on The Kinetic Group indefinite-lived trade names during the third fiscal quarter of 2024. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information.
We calculated the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangibles using the relief-from-royalty method which assumes that the asset has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. We estimated the future revenue for the related brands and technology, the appropriate royalty rate, and the weighted average cost of capital. We based our fair values and estimates on assumptions we believed to be reasonable, but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain.
Our assumptions used to develop the discounted cash flow analysis and the relief-from-royalty calculation require us to make significant estimates. The projections also take into account several factors including current and estimated economic trends and outlook, costs of raw materials and other factors that are beyond our control. If the current economic conditions were to deteriorate, or if we were to lose significant business, it is possible that the estimated fair value of certain reporting units or trade names could fall below their carrying value resulting in the necessity to conduct additional impairment tests in future periods. We continually monitor the reporting units and trade names for impairment indicators and update assumptions used in the most recent calculation of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit or trade names as appropriate.
Amortizing Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets. Our long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant, and equipment, amortizing right-of-use assets related to our operating leases and amortizing costs related to cloud computing arrangements. Our primary identifiable intangible assets include trademarks and trade names, patented technology, and customer relationships. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable or exceeds its fair value.
In conjunction with our interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, we performed recoverability tests of our long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, by comparing the net book value of our long-lived assets or asset groups, to the future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to such assets. Based on the results of the recoverability test, we determined that the fair value of certain definite lived intangibles related to trade names and customer relationship within our former Outdoor Cooking reporting unit were less than their carrying value. The fair value of these intangibles was determined using the cost approach. As a result, we recorded impairment charges totaling $6,798 related to amortizing intangible assets, which are included in "Impairment of goodwill and intangibles" on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal year of 2024. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information.
Business Combinations. We allocate the purchase price, including contingent consideration, of our acquisitions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values are primarily based on third-party valuations using our management assumptions that require significant judgments and estimates. The purchase price allocated to intangibles is based on unobservable factors, including but not limited to, projected revenues, expenses, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, and weighted average cost of capital, among others. The weighted average cost of capital uses a market participant’s cost of equity and after-tax cost of debt and reflects the risks inherent in the cash flows. The fair value calculation of initial contingent consideration associated with the purchase price also uses unobservable factors such as projected revenues and expenses over the term of the contingent earn-out period, discounted for the period over which the contingent consideration is measured, and volatility rates. Based upon these assumptions, the initial contingent consideration is then valued using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis in a risk-neutral framework. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are considered to be Level 3 inputs due to the lack of relevant market activity and significant management judgment. See Note 2, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for additional disclosure regarding fair value of financial instruments. During the measurement period of one year from the acquisition date, we continue to collect information and reevaluate our estimates and assumptions and record any adjustments to these estimates to goodwill. See Note 7, Acquisitions, for additional information.
Derivatives and Hedging. We mitigate the impact of variable interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices affecting the cost of raw materials with interest rate swaps, foreign currency, and commodity forward
contracts that are accounted for as designated hedges pursuant to ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” ("ASC Topic 815"). ASC Topic 815 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, measure those instruments at fair value and recognize changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change unless the derivative qualifies as designated cash flow hedge that offsets certain exposures. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order for derivative financial instruments to be classified and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Derivatives that are not elected for hedge accounting treatment are recorded immediately in earnings. We may use derivatives to hedge certain variable interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity price risks, but do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. We utilize counterparties for our derivative instruments that we believe are creditworthy at the time the transactions are entered into and closely monitor the credit ratings of these counterparties. See Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information.
We would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, (iii) if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur, (iv) if a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or (v) if it is determined that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. The fair value of our forward contracts is based on pricing models using current market rates. These contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 2, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for further information.
Stock-Based Compensation. We account for our share-based compensation arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" ("ASC Topic 718") which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Our stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 18, Stockholders' Equity, provide for the grant of various types of stock-based incentive awards, including performance awards, performance awards with a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier, restricted stock units, and options to purchase common stock. The types and mix of stock-based incentive awards are evaluated on an ongoing basis and may vary based on our overall strategy regarding compensation, including consideration of the impact of expensing stock awards on our results of operations.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with the accounting standard for income taxes. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Under this method, changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in income in the period such changes are enacted.
We record net deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent results of operations. Significant estimates are required for this analysis. If we were to determine that the amount of deferred income tax assets, we would be able to realize in the future had changed, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would decrease or increase the provision for income taxes.
The provision for federal, foreign, and state and local income taxes is calculated on income before income taxes based on current tax law and includes the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provision differs from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different reporting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes.
We periodically assess our liabilities and contingencies for all periods that are currently open to examination or have not been effectively settled based on the most current available information. Where it is not more likely than not that our tax position will be sustained, we record the entire resulting tax liability and when it is more likely than not of being sustained, we record our best estimate of the resulting tax liability. To the extent our assessment of the tax outcome of these matters changes, such change in estimate will impact the income tax provision in the period of change. It is our policy to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as part of the income tax expense for financial reporting purposes.
Worker's Compensation. The liability for losses under our worker's compensation program has been actuarially determined. The balance for worker's compensation liability was $9,662 and $8,198 as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Translation of Foreign Currencies. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates. Income and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses from the translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements into U.S. dollars are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") in stockholders' equity. Gains and losses from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity in which they reside are generally recognized during the current period in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), as part of other (expense) income, net.
Other (Expense) Income, Net. Other (expense) income, net primarily includes gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency transactions. See Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements— In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring companies to (1) disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective rate reconciliation and (2) provide information on income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting Standards Adopted During this Fiscal Year—In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its program to allow a user of the financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The amendments in ASU 2022-04 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with the exception for the amendment on roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The guidance should be applied retrospectively, except for the amendment on roll-forward information, which should be applied prospectively. This ASU was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, with the exception of the amendment on roll-forward information, which will be effective for us in our Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025. We adopted this ASU during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We measure and disclose our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability (the exit price) in the principal and most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified using the three-tier hierarchy. See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, for additional information.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure our financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis:
Derivative Financial Instruments
Hedging instruments (see Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments), are re-measured on a recurring basis using broker quotes, daily market foreign currency rates, and interest rate curves as applicable and are therefore categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Note Receivable
In connection with the sale of our Firearms business in fiscal year 2020, we received a $12,000 interest-free, five-year pre-payable promissory note, originally due June 2024. Based on the general market conditions and the credit quality of the buyer at the time of the sale, we discounted the Note Receivable at an effective interest rate of 10% and estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow approach. We considered this to be a Level 3 instrument. The note was paid in full during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with some of our acquisitions, we recorded contingent consideration liabilities that can be earned by the sellers upon achievement of certain milestones. The liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and recorded at fair value, using a discounted cash flow analysis or a Monte Carlo simulation analysis in a risk-neutral framework with assumptions for volatility, market price of risk adjustment, risk-free rate, and cost of debt, utilizing revenue projections for the respective earn-out period, corresponding targets and approximate timing of payments as outlined in the purchase agreements. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are considered to be Level 3 inputs due to the lack of relevant market activity and significant management judgment. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation results from changes in discount periods and rates, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the performance targets. The fair value adjustments are recorded in selling, general, and administrative in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The estimated fair values of contingent consideration payable related to our acquisitions of QuietKat, Stone Glacier, and Fox Racing as of March 31, 2024 are $750, $2,806, and $0, respectively. See Note 7, Acquisitions, for additional information.

Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of our receivables, inventory, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(1) Fixed rate debt—In fiscal year 2021, we issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.5% Senior Notes which will mature on March 15, 2029. These notes are unsecured and senior obligations. The fair value of the fixed-rate debt is based on market quotes for each issuance. We consider these to be Level 2 instruments. See Note 14, Long-term Debt, for information on our credit facilities, including certain risks and uncertainties.
(2) Variable rate debt— The carrying value of the amounts outstanding under our ABL Revolving Credit Facility approximates the fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates as of March 31, 2024. The fair value of this debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observable market borrowing rates. See Note 14, Long-term Debt, for additional information on our credit facilities, including related certain risks and uncertainties.
During the third fiscal quarter of 2024, we recognized impairment losses related to our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair value of these assets are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for discussion and details of the impairment losses recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2024.
We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable or exceeds its fair value. These assets include long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for discussion of an identified trigger event and impairment expense related to certain amortizing intangibles during third fiscal quarter of 2024. See Note 3, Leases, for discussion of right of use asset (ROU) impairments during the fiscal year. Significant assumptions were used to estimate fair value of long-lived assets, which were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 13, Restructuring, for discussion of long-lived asset impairments related to our restructuring plan during fiscal year 2024.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
We lease certain warehouse and distribution space, manufacturing space, office space, retail locations, equipment, and vehicles. All of these leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. These rates are assessed on a quarterly basis. The operating lease assets also include any lease payments less lease incentives. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For operating leases, expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments associated with our leases are recognized upon occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Tenant improvement allowances are recorded as leasehold improvements with an offsetting adjustment included in our calculation of its right-of-use asset.
Many leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term up to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative Financial Instruments
Commodity Price Risk
We use designated cash flow hedges to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on lead we purchase for raw material components in our ammunition manufacturing process that are designated and qualify as effective cash flow hedges. The effectiveness of cash flow hedge contracts is assessed quantitatively at inception and qualitatively thereafter considering the transactions critical terms and counterparty credit quality.
The gains and losses on these hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified into earnings at the time the forecasted revenue or expense is recognized. The gains or losses on the lead forward contracts are recorded in inventory as the commodities are purchased and in cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. As of March 31, 2024, we had outstanding lead forward contracts on approximately 6.25 million pounds of lead. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the related change in fair value of the derivative instrument would be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings. The short-term liability related to the lead forward contracts is immaterial and is recorded as part of other current liabilities. The long-term asset related to the lead forward contracts is immaterial and is recorded as part of deferred charges and other non-current assets, net.
Foreign Exchange Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions of our international subsidiaries. We use designated cash flow hedges and non-designated hedges in the form of foreign currency forward contracts as part of our strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and to mitigate the impact of foreign currency translation on transactions that are denominated primarily in British Pounds, Euros, and Canadian Dollars.
Cash Flow Hedging Instrument
We use foreign currency forward contracts designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments to help mitigate our exposure on our foreign subsidiaries' inventory purchases and intercompany transactions, which is different than their functional currency. Certain U.S. subsidiaries also hedge a portion of their future sales in Canadian Dollars. These contracts generally mature within 12 months to 15 months from their inception. As of March 31, 2024, the notional amounts of our foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedge instruments were approximately $4,064. The effectiveness of cash flow hedge contracts is assessed quantitatively at inception and qualitatively thereafter considering the transactions critical terms and counterparty credit quality.
As of March 31, 2024, we have no remaining foreign currency forward contracts not designated as cash flow hedge instruments.
During the fiscal years ended 2024, 2023, and 2022, we recorded net foreign currency translation loss of $2,991, $588, and $0, respectively, on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) within other income (expense), net.
Interest Rate Swaps
During fiscal year 2023, we entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps in order to mitigate the risk of changes in our interest rates on our outstanding variable-rate debt. We will receive variable interest payments from the counterparty lenders in exchange for fixed interest rate payments made by us. As of March 31, 2024, we had the following interest rate swaps outstanding:

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition
The Company's disaggregated revenue is fully disclosed by reportable segments and by geographic area in Note 19, Operating Segment Information.
The principal activities from which the Company recognizes its revenue by reportable segment is discussed below and in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies.
Typically, our contracts require customers to pay within 30-60 days of product delivery with a discount available to some customers for early payment. In some cases, we offer extended payment terms to customers. However, we do not consider these extended payment terms to be a significant financing component of the contract because the payment terms are less than a year.
In limited circumstances, our contract with a customer may have shipping terms that indicate a transfer of control of the products upon their arrival at the destination rather than upon shipment. In those cases, we recognize revenue only when the product reaches the customer destination, which may require us to estimate the timing of transfer of control based on the expected delivery date. In all cases, however, we consider our costs related to shipping and handling to be a cost of fulfilling the contract with the customer.
Incentives in the form of cash paid to the customer (or a reduction of a customer cash payment to us) typically are recognized as a reduction of sales unless the incentive is for a distinct benefit that we receive from the customer, e.g., advertising or marketing.
We pay commissions to some of our employees based on agreed-upon sales targets. We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred because our sales contracts with commissions are a year or less.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share
The computation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the number of basic weighted average shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common shares, such as common stock to be issued upon exercise of options, contingently issuable shares and restricted stock units, using the treasury stock method.
In computing EPS for the fiscal years presented, earnings, as reported for each respective period, is divided by the number of shares below:

(1) Due to the loss from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there are no common shares added to calculate dilutive EPS because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities of 300 and 1,504 were excluded from diluted EPS in fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively, as we had a net loss. There were no potentially dilutive securities, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because either the effect would have been anti-dilutive, or the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Business Combinations [Abstract]  
Acquisitions Acquisitions
PinSeeker
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we acquired PinSeeker, a leader in virtual network of golfers, allowing players to complete globally in real-time. The results of this business are reported within the Revelyst Precision Sports Technology reportable segment. We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and performed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The preliminary fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed represent management’s estimate of fair value and are subject to change if additional information, such as post-close working capital adjustments becomes available. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but not later than one year following the acquisition date. The acquisition is not significant to our consolidated financial statements and as such we have not included disclosures of the allocation of the purchase price or any pro forma information.
Simms Fishing
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we acquired Simms Fishing Products ("Simms"), a premium fishing brand and leading manufacturer of waders, outerwear, footwear and technical apparel. The results of this business are reported within the Revelyst Outdoor Performance reportable segment. We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and performed an allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. We finalized the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, and no significant changes were recorded from the original estimation. The excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets received has been recorded as goodwill. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill primarily relate to acquisition-driven anticipated cost savings and synergies. Assembled workforce is not recognized separate and apart from goodwill as it is neither separable nor contractual in nature. The acquisition is not significant to our consolidated financial statements and as such we have not included disclosures of the allocation of the purchase price or any pro forma information.
Fox Racing
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we acquired Fox (Parent) Holdings, Inc. (“Fox Racing”), a leader in motocross industry and a growing brand in the mountain bike category. We finalized the purchase price allocation during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, and no significant changes were recorded from the original estimation. The results of this business are reported within the Revelyst Adventure Sports reportable segment.

Receivables [Abstract]  
Receivables Receivables
Our trade accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an appropriate allowance for estimated credit losses as described in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies. We maintain an allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable for future expected credit losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. We estimate the allowance based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances and the customers' financial condition, and in relation to a representative pool of assets consisting of a large number of customers with similar risk characteristics. The allowance is adjusted as appropriate to reflect differences in current conditions as well as changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, including those associated with customers that have a higher probability of default.
Net receivables are summarized as follows:

Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over estimated useful lives using a straight-line method. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over 1 to 10 years and buildings and improvements are depreciated over 1 to 30 years. Depreciation expense was $49,145, $48,126, and $46,094 in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
As discussed in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, we review property, plant, and equipment for impairment when indicators of potential impairment are present. When such impairment is identified, it is recorded as a loss in that period. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements that extend useful lives are capitalized and depreciated. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property, plant, and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the related accounts, and any residual values are charged or credited to income.
On February 6, 2024, a fire occurred at our Fiber Energy Seymour, Missouri pellet manufacturing location. There were no injuries or environmental issues from the fire. The damage was principally limited to the inventory, raw materials, plant equipment and building structures. We have adequate property damage and business interruption insurance, subject to an applicable deductible. We completed our final damage assessment, and discussions with the insurance carrier is ongoing. We assessed incurred costs and lost earnings related to business interruption and property damage to our facility, as well as timing of recognition under applicable insurance recovery guidance, and recorded accruals of $3,242 in fiscal year 2024 for insurance recoveries that offset the impairment expense of the damaged fixed assets and inventory of $4,242. The net expense of $1,000 is included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

The increase in goodwill in fiscal year 2024 was due to our PinSeeker acquisition. See Note 7, Acquisitions. The decrease in fiscal year 2024 was due to an impairment charge of $161,714 recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 as discussed below. As of March 31, 2024, there were $745,957, $617,179, and $125,540 of accumulated impairment losses, related to the Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology reportable segments, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 there were $709,783, $617,179, and $0 of accumulated impairment losses, related to the Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology reportable segments, respectively. The goodwill recorded within The Kinetic Group segment has no accumulated impairment losses.
Fiscal year 2024 assessment
We performed our annual testing of goodwill in accordance with our accounting policies described in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies. We completed a step zero assessment during the fourth quarter, and concluded there were no indicators of impairment.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 we determined there was a change to our reporting units, based on the change in our reportable segments. See Note 19, Operating Segment Information, for additional information. Our reporting units are now the same as our reportable segments. There was no goodwill recorded in the reporting units affected by the reorganization.
Results of our interim testing
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, as a result of an increasingly challenging economic environment for consumers due to higher interest rate expectations continuing, and other factors affecting the market for our products, we reduced our projections for fiscal year 2024 and beyond for the majority of our reporting units within the former Revelyst reportable segment. As a result of a downward revision of forecasted cash flows due to lower volume and profitability expectations, combined with the decline in our stock price in the third fiscal quarter, we concluded that triggering events had occurred potentially indicating that the fair values of certain reporting units within our former Revelyst reportable segment were less than their carrying values. We recognized impairment losses equal to the full carrying value of goodwill of $26,219 and $9,955, related to the former reporting units of Outdoor Cooking and Stone Glacier, respectively, and a partial goodwill impairment loss of $125,540 related to our Golf reporting unit. Goodwill relating to the Ammunition reporting unit was not
impaired as the fair value exceeded the carrying value. Our Ammunition and Golf reporting units comprise our remaining goodwill at March 31, 2024.
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, we determined the estimated fair value of each reporting unit and compared it to their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. The fair value of each reporting unit was determined considering both an income and market approach. We weighted the valuations of our former Revelyst segment reporting units using 100% of the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The weighted average cost of capital used in the income approach ranged between 12.5% and 16.0%, which was derived from the financial structures of comparable companies corresponding to the industry of each reporting unit. We weighted the value of The Kinetic Group reporting unit using 100% of the market approach, based on the offer accepted in the Sporting Products Sale. This market approach method estimates the price reasonably expected to be realized. See Sale of The Kinetic Group and Planned Separation in the Executive Summary and Financial Highlights of Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report for further discussion of the Sporting Products Sale.
Before completing our interim goodwill impairment test, we performed a fair value analysis on our indefinite-lived trademarks and trade names within the former Revelyst reportable segment, which we recorded impairment losses of $26,600, $9,600, $6,100, $4,500 $1,800, $1,100, and $600 related to the Fox Racing, CamelBak, Bell Cycling, Simms Fishing, Giro, Bushnell, and Bell Powersports indefinite-lived tradename assets, respectively. The carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets related to Fox Racing, CamelBak, Bell Cycling, Simms Fishing, Giro, Bushnell, and Bell Powersports after the impairment was $58,400, $13,300, $12,000, $25,500, $15,300, $14,900, and $3,500, respectively, at March 31, 2024. We determined the fair value of our Fox Racing, CamelBak, Bell Cycling, Simms Fishing, Giro, Bushnell, and Bell Powersports indefinite-lived trade names using royalty rates of 3%, 1.5%, 1.5%, 3%, 1.5%, 1%, and 1%, respectively.
Fiscal year 2023 assessment
We performed our annual testing of goodwill in accordance with our accounting policies described in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies. To perform the annual quantitative goodwill impairment testing, we prepared valuations of our reporting units using both an income and market approach, which were compared with the respective carrying values of the reporting units to determine whether any goodwill impairment existed.
The decline in fair value of our reporting units was significantly impacted by a sudden decline in the demand of products related to certain of our recent acquisitions, which resulted in lower forecasted revenues, operating margins, and operating cash flows as compared to our valuation at acquisition date. Our estimates of the fair values of the reporting units were also influenced by higher discount rates in the income-based valuation approach as a result of increasing market to equity risk premiums, company specific risk premiums and higher treasury rates, since the acquisition dates. The weighted average cost of capital used in the goodwill impairment testing ranged between 10.5% and 17.0%, which was derived from the financial structures of comparable companies corresponding to the industry of each reporting unit.
As a result, we recognized impairment losses equal to the full carrying value of goodwill of $248,254, $68,353, and $12,349 allocated to the former reporting units of Fox Racing, Simms Fishing, and QuietKat, respectively, and partial goodwill impairment charges of $3,799 related to our former Stone Glacier reporting unit. We determined that the goodwill relating to our other reporting units was not impaired as the fair value exceeded the carrying value. Our Ammunition, Golf, Stone Glacier, and Outdoor Cooking reporting units comprise our remaining goodwill at March 31, 2023. As of the fiscal year 2023 annual testing measurement date, the fair value of our former Stone Glacier and former Outdoor Cooking reporting units was less than 10% higher than their carrying values. In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of our reporting units, we also compared the sum of the reporting units’ fair values to our market capitalization and calculated an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units’ fair values over the market capitalization). We evaluated the control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable transactions. If the implied control premium was not reasonable in light of this assessment, we would have reevaluated our fair value estimates of the reporting units by adjusting the discount rates and other assumptions as necessary.
Before completing our goodwill impairment test, we first tested our indefinite-lived intangible assets. We performed a step zero analysis on nine of our indefinite-lived tradenames. We performed a step one analysis on our remaining indefinite-lived tradenames, which resulted in impairment losses of $21,200 and $20,400, related to the Fox Racing and Simms Fishing indefinite-lived tradename assets, respectively. We determined the fair value of the indefinite-lived tradenames related to our Bell Cycling and Giro tradenames was greater or equal to the carrying value, and no impairment was recorded. The carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets related to Fox Racing and Simms Fishing after the impairment was $85,000 and $30,000, respectively at March 31, 2023. We determined the fair value of our Fox Racing, Simms Fishing, Bell Cycling, and Giro indefinite-lived tradenames using royalty rates of 3.0%, 3.0%, 1.5%, and 1.5%, respectively.
Fiscal year 2022 annual assessment
We performed our annual testing of goodwill in accordance with our accounting policies described in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies. We completed a step zero assessment as of January 1, 2022 and concluded there were no indicators of impairment.
Our indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the assets might be impaired. We completed a step zero assessment as of January 1, 2022, in accordance with our accounting policies described in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, and concluded there were no indicators of impairment.

The decrease in the gross carrying amount of amortizing intangible assets in fiscal year 2024 was due to impairment, less increases due to the acquisition of PinSeeker and the impact of foreign exchange rates. See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies for discussion of impairment recorded during fiscal year 2024. We recorded impairment expense related to customer relationship and trade name intangibles within our former Outdoor Cooking reporting unit, net of accumulated amortization of $5,805 and $993, respectively. The decrease in non-amortizing trade names is due to impairment as discussed above. Amortization expense related to these assets was $50,146, $43,963 and $26,246 in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which is included within cost of sales. The amortizable intangible assets in the table above are being amortized using a straight-line method over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 11.5 years.
We expect amortization expense related to these assets in each of the next five fiscal years and beyond to be incurred as follows:

Restructuring
13. Restructuring
As part of our restructuring plans, we have and will incur severance and employee related costs, professional fees, ROU asset impairments and other exit and disposal costs which are recorded in Selling, general, and administrative in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Severance and employee related costs consist primarily of salary continuation benefits, outplacement services and continuation of health benefits. Severance and employee related benefits are pursuant to our severance plan and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, based upon the characteristics of the termination benefits being provided in the restructuring, pursuant to our severance plan. Severance and employee related costs are recognized when the benefits are determined to be probable of being paid and reasonably estimable. Professional fees, contract termination costs and other exit and disposal costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and are recognized as incurred. Asset impairments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Restructuring accruals are based upon management estimates at the time and are subject to change depending upon changes in facts and circumstances subsequent to the date the original liability was recorded.
During fiscal year 2024, we initiated the GEAR Up transformation program. GEAR Up is an efficiency and cost savings initiative program, to accelerate growth and transformation within our Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology reportable segments. We made changes to the structure of our organization during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024, which resulted in our previous Revelyst reportable segment being reorganized into three new reportable segments. We further finalized plans to centralize certain functions under shared services to better support our segments. We also announced plans to geographically consolidate the businesses within Revelyst Adventure Sports, Revelyst Outdoor Performance and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology. These geographic relocations are expected to be completed during fiscal 2025.
For GEAR Up, we are estimating pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $40,000 to $50,000 over the duration of the plan. We expect these charges to be completed during fiscal 2027. All of pre-tax restructuring charges will be recorded as
corporate expense, and not allocated to our reportable segments.
During fiscal year 2024, we incurred $8,279, of pre-tax restructuring costs in connection with GEAR Up, which are recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, we announced a cost reduction and earnings improvement program. We recorded $5,604 and $15,668 of pre-tax restructuring charges for the fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively. These restructuring charges are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). This program was substantially completed as of March 31, 2024, with immaterial expenses expected in future years.

Credit Agreements—In fiscal year 2023, we refinanced our 2021 ABL Revolving Credit Facility by entering into the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, which provides for a $600,000 senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The amount available under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility is the lesser of the total commitment of $600,000 or a borrowing base based on percentages of eligible receivables, inventory, and cash, minus certain reserves, but, in each case, subject to the excess availability financial covenant under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility described below. As of March 31, 2024, the Excess Availability, or the amount available to borrow under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, based on the borrowing base less outstanding borrowings of $220,000 and outstanding letters of credit of $14,612, less the minimum required borrowing base of $57,000, was $237,109. The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to a customary springing maturity in respect of the 4.5% Notes due 2029 (described below). Any outstanding revolving loans under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility will be payable in full on the Maturity Date.
Concurrently with the effectiveness of the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, we also obtained a $350,000 senior secured asset-based term loan facility (the “2022 Term Loan”). The 2022 Term Loan was paid off during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Borrowings under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to either the sum of a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% or the sum of a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Term SOFR") plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. The margins vary based on our Average Excess Availability under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, the margin under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility was 0.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% for Term SOFR loans. We pay a commitment fee on the unused commitments under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility of 0.175% per annum.
As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for our borrowings under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility was 6.66%.
Debt issuance costs incurred to date related to the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility were approximately $11,310, which includes remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2021 ABL Credit Facility. The costs are being amortized over the term of the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, and are included within other current and non-current assets.
Unamortized debt issuance costs of $2,423 related to the 2022 Term Loan were written off during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. This expense is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of Vista Outdoor and our domestic subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
4.5% Notes—In fiscal year 2021, we issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.5% Notes that mature on March 15, 2029. These notes are unsecured and senior obligations. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. We had the right to redeem some or all of these notes on or after March 15, 2024 at specified redemption prices. Debt issuance costs of approximately $4,491 are being amortized to interest expense over eight years, the term of the notes.
Rank and guarantees—The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility obligation is guaranteed on a secured basis, jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Vista Outdoor (the parent company issuer) has no independent assets or operations. We own 100% of all of these guarantor subsidiaries. The 4.5% Notes are senior
unsecured obligations of Vista Outdoor and will rank equally in right of payment with any future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of Vista Outdoor. The 4.5% Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under our 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility that incur or guarantee certain of our other indebtedness, or indebtedness of any subsidiary guarantor, in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $75,000. These guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the applicable subsidiary guarantors. The guarantee by any subsidiary guarantor of our obligations in respect of the 4.5% Notes will be released in any of the following circumstances:
if, as a result of the sale of its capital stock, such subsidiary guarantor ceases to be a restricted subsidiary,
if such subsidiary guarantor is designated as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”,
upon defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the 4.5% Notes, or
if such subsidiary guarantor has been released from its guarantees of indebtedness under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility and all capital markets debt securities
Scheduled Minimum Payments—The scheduled minimum payments on outstanding long-term debt were as follows as of March 31, 2024:
Fiscal year 2026$220,000 
Fiscal year 2029500,000 
Total$720,000 
Covenants
2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility—Our 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility imposes restrictions on us, including limitations on our ability to pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase Vista Outdoor stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets. The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant which requires that Excess Availability under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility cannot fall below the greater of (a) 10% of the line cap or (b) $57,000. As a result of this financial covenant, we must maintain Excess Availability of at least the greater of 10% of the line cap or $57,000 at all times in order to satisfy the financial covenant. The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility includes a covenant that prohibits the “Planned Separation” (as defined in Vista Outdoor’s Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022) with respect to the separation of Vista Outdoor’s Revelyst and The Kinetic Group segments or any analogous transaction with respect to any line of business, business segment or division (or any part thereof) of Vista Outdoor or any subsidiary thereof. In October 2023, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement to sell The Kinetic Group business to Czechoslovak Group a.s. (“CSG”) on a cash-free, debt-free basis with a normalized level of working capital (the "The Kinetic Group Sale" or the “Sporting Products Sale”). See Sale of The Kinetic Group and Planned Separation in the Executive Summary and Financial Highlights of Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report for further discussion of the Sporting Products Sale. Vista Outdoor anticipates that the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility will be repaid in full (or amended to unconditionally release all The Kinetic Group entities from their obligations thereunder) prior to or upon the consummation of the Sporting Products Sale. If we do not comply with the covenants in the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under such facility. As noted above, the Excess Availability less the minimum required borrowing base under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility was $237,109 as of March 31, 2024. Vista Outdoor has the option to increase the amount of the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150,000, to the extent that any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, commits to be a lender for such amount.
4.5% Notes—The indenture governing the 4.5% Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur or permit to exist certain liens, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, consolidate, amalgamate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other distributions, repurchase, or redeem our capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt and make loans and investments.
The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 4.5% Notes contain cross-default provisions so that noncompliance with the covenants within one debt agreement could also cause a default under the other debt agreement. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants of all of our debt agreements. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to comply with such financial covenants in the future due to various risks and uncertainties, some of which may be beyond our control. Any failure to comply with the restrictions in the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility may prevent us from drawing under these loans and may result in an event of default under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit
Facility, which default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related indebtedness and the indebtedness under our 4.5% Notes and proceed against the collateral that secures such indebtedness. We may not have sufficient liquidity to repay the indebtedness in such circumstances.
Cash Paid for Interest on Debt—Cash paid for interest totaled $57,404, $49,343, and $25,328 in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Employee Benefit Plans Employee Benefit Plans
Effective February 9, 2015, we sponsored a qualified defined benefit pension and OPEB plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and a SERP plan. These are designed to provide employees with additional security for their retirement. The OPEB Plan was terminated in fiscal 2022 and in fiscal 2018 the pension plan was amended to freeze the accrued benefits and cash balances of the plan, except with respect to additional interest credits required to be made. The SERP plan is immaterial.
Defined Benefit Plan
During fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, we recognized an aggregate net expense for employee defined benefit plans of $951, $1,525, and $426 respectively.
We recognize the funded status of our defined benefit pension plan measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation. Benefit obligation balances reflect the projected benefit obligation ("PBO") for our pension plan. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the PBO was 5.2% and 4.9% as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which decreases the PBO. The fair value of the plan assets was $138,247 and $143,658 as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in fair value from prior year related to benefit payments of $(13,190) partially offset by return on plan assets of $7,779. The benefit obligation was $159,006 and $167,047 as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was related to benefit payments of $(13,190) and actuarial gain of $(2,700) partially offset by interest cost of $7,849. This resulted in an unfunded liability of $20,759 and $23,389 as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is primarily recorded within accrued pension liability on the consolidated balance sheets.
Since 2018, participating employee’s benefits continue to grow based on annual interest credits applied to the employee’s cash balance account until the commencement of the employee’s benefit. Prior to the amendments, the benefits under the affected plans were determined by a cash balance formula that provided participating employees with an annual pay credit as a percentage of their eligible pay based on their age and eligible service.
The weighted average interest crediting rate was 4% for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively. The plan assets are invested in a variety of financial funds which have investments in a variety of financial instruments including equities, fixed income, and hedge funds. Plan assets are invested in various asset classes that are expected to produce a sufficient level of diversification and investment return over the long-term. The investment goals are (1) to meet or exceed the assumed actuarial rate of return of 6.25% and 6.5% over the long-term within reasonable and prudent levels of risk as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and (2) to preserve the real purchasing power of assets to meet future obligations.
Investments in financial funds are valued by multiplying the fund's net asset value ("NAV") per share with the number of units or shares owned as of the valuation date. NAV per share is determined by the fund's administrator or our custodian by deducting from the value of the assets of the fund all its liabilities and the resulting number is divided by the outstanding number of shares or units. Investments held by the funds are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service approved by the fund's investment manager, which determines valuations using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders, or at fair value as determined in good faith by the fund's investment manager. For those assets that are invested within hedge funds there are certain restrictions on redemption of those assets including a one-year lockup period from initial investment and thereafter a 65-day notice period prior to redemption. There are no other significant restrictions on redemption of assets within other asset categories.
Employer contributions and distributions—During fiscal year 2024, we made contributions of $0 directly to the pension trust, made contributions of $0 to our other postretirement benefit plans, and made distributions of $0 directly to retirees under our non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans, respectively. During fiscal year 2023, we made contributions of $0 directly to our pension trust, made contributions of $0 to our other postretirement benefit plans, and made distributions of $0 directly to retirees under our non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans, respectively. During fiscal year 2022, we made contributions of $1,300 directly to our pension trust, made contributions of $0 to our other postretirement benefit plans, and made distributions of $0 directly to retirees under our non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans, respectively.
Substantially all contributions made to our pension trust were required by local funding requirements. We currently expect to make contributions of $4,300 during fiscal year 2025. Required future pension contributions are estimated based upon
assumptions such as discount rates on future obligations, assumed rates of return on plan assets, and legislative changes. Actual future pension costs and required funding obligations will be affected by changes to these assumptions.
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid primarily out of the pension trust:
Fiscal year 2025$14,854 
Fiscal year 202613,488 
Fiscal year 202713,212 
Fiscal year 202813,113 
Fiscal year 202913,439 
Fiscal years 2030 through 203461,959

Effective income tax rate62.0 %119.2 %23.8 %
The effective tax rate for the current year is reflective of the federal statutory rate of 21% increased by the beneficial deductions for foreign derived intangible income and changes in tax contingency, partially offset by nondeductible impairment of goodwill and non-deductible earnouts.
The current year decrease in the effective tax rate as compared to the prior fiscal year is primarily due to the impact of nondeductible impairment of goodwill.
Deferred income taxes arise because of differences in the timing of the recognition of income and expense items for financial statement reporting and income tax purposes. The net effect of these temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are classified in the consolidated financial statements of financial position as non-current assets or liabilities. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the components of deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

We have capital loss carryforwards totaling $19,472 as of March 31, 2024, which, if unused, will expire in fiscal year 2025.
As of March 31, 2024, there are federal and state net operating loss and credit carryovers of $5,726, which, if unused, will expire in years March 31, 2025 through March 31, 2045. The carryforwards expiring in fiscal year 2025 are not material.
We have valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets of $21,605 and $21,382 at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance from year end 2023 to year end 2024 is primarily due to U.S. state tax attributes.
We have outside basis differences from foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded, as we intend to indefinitely reinvest these balances. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on the temporary difference for these indefinitely reinvested undistributed earnings is not practicable.
Income taxes paid, net of refunds, totaled $65,161 and $43,201 in fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, that have not been recorded in the financial statements amounted to $24,853 and $28,692, respectively. Of these amounts, inclusive of interest and penalties,$20,327 and $24,419, for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively, would affect the effective tax rate. It is expected that an $716 reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits will occur in the next 12 months.
We have classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid within one year. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, $2,708 and $2,462 of income tax-related interest and $3,691 and $3,509 of penalties were included in accrued income taxes, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, our current tax provision included $2,635, $2,503, and $2,128, respectively, of expense related to interest and penalties.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
We lease certain warehouse, distribution and office facilities, vehicles, and office equipment under operating leases. These operating lease liabilities represent commitments for minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases in the amount of $176,314. See Note 3, Leases.
As of March 31, 2024, we have known purchase commitments of $146,733 which are defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on us and that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. We also issued guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit of $14,612 as of March 31, 2024.
Litigation
From time-to-time, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business. We do not consider any of such proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position, or cash flows.
Environmental liabilities
Our operations and ownership or use of real property are subject to a number of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, as well as applicable foreign laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of hazardous materials, remediation of contaminated sites, and restoration of damage to the environment. We are obligated to conduct investigation and/or remediation activities at certain sites that we own or operate or formerly owned or operated.
Certain of our former subsidiaries have been identified as PRPs, along with other parties, in regulatory agency actions associated with hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, those former subsidiaries may be required to pay a share of the costs of the investigation and clean-up of these sites. In that event, we would be obligated to indemnify those subsidiaries for those costs. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of the ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, we have concluded that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position, or cash flows. We have recorded a liability for environmental remediation of $280 as of March 31, 2024 and $717 as of March 31, 2023.
We could incur substantial additional costs, including cleanup costs, resource restoration, fines, and penalties or third-party property damage or personal injury claims, as a result of violations or liabilities under environmental laws or non-compliance with environmental permits. While environmental laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows in the past, and we have environmental management programs in place to mitigate these risks, it is difficult to predict whether they will have a material impact in the future.

Stockholders' Equity

Equity [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity Stockholders' Equity
We have authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00, none of which have been issued.
As of March 31, 2024, we maintain an equity incentive plan (the “2020 Vista Outdoor Inc. Stock Incentive Plan” or the “Plan”), which became effective on August 4, 2020. The Plan was established to govern equity awards granted to our employees and directors and provides for awards of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, dividend equivalents, performance awards, stock awards, and other stock-based awards. We issue shares from the Plan upon the vesting of performance awards, restricted stock units, grant of restricted stock, or exercise of stock options and the awards are accounted for as equity-based compensation.
As of August 4, 2020, we were authorized to issue up to 3,351,200 common shares under the Plan. As of March 31, 2024, 251,349 common shares remain available to be granted.
Performance Based Awards
We currently grant two types of stock-based performance based awards: performance awards and performance awards with a TSR award modifier. The number of shares that could be issued range from 0% to 200% of the participant's target award.
Performance awards are awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on performance against specified metrics over a two to three-year performance period. These performance metrics are established on the grant date. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of stock that could be issued is fixed based upon the degree of achievement of the performance goals. Performance awards are initially valued at our closing stock price on the date of grant. Stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The expense recognized over the vesting period is adjusted up or down based on the anticipated performance level during the performance period. If the performance metrics are not probable of achievement during the performance period, compensation expense would be reversed. The awards are forfeited if the threshold performance metrics are not achieved as of the end of the performance period. The performance share vest at the end of the performance period.
Performance awards with a TSR modifier are stock-based awards for which the number of shares ultimately received depends on our performance against specified metrics over a three-year performance period and the performance of our common stock over a three-year period relative to that of our peer group. These performance metrics are established on the grant date. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of stock that could be issued is based upon the degree of achievement of the performance goals. The participants could earn from 0% up to 200% of the three-year target award shares, subject to continued service through the vesting date. After the number of shares earned based on our performance goals is determined, the relative TSR modifier may either increase or decrease the number of shares earned from +20% to -20%, but not over 200% of target shares, based on the performance of our common stock over a three-year period relative to that of our peer group. The fair value of these awards is derived using the Monte Carlo simulation which utilizes our closing stock price on the date of grant and the stock volatility, dividend yield and market correlation of Vista to its peer group. The expense recognized over the vesting period is adjusted up or down based on the anticipated performance level during the performance period. If the performance metrics are not probable of achievement during the performance period, compensation expense would be reversed.
The awards are forfeited if the threshold performance metrics are not achieved as of the end of the performance period. The performance shares vest at the end of the performance period.
We granted 90,847 performance awards during fiscal year 2024. We granted 258,538 performance awards with a TSR modifier during fiscal year 2024. There were 6,763 performance awards earned during fiscal year 2024. There were 87,124 performance awards with a TSR modifier shares earned during fiscal year 2024 that were subject to a three-year performance period related to certain performance goals. Based on our performance, participants earned 100% of the performance awards granted to them and the TSR modifier was not applicable.
The weighted average grant date fair value for performance based award grants was $27.42, $29.66, and $37.88 in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
A summary of our performance based awards for fiscal year 2024 is presented below:

As of March 31, 2024, the unamortized compensation expense related to these awards was $5,840, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Stock Option Awards
Stock options may be granted periodically, with an exercise price equal to the fair value of common stock on the date of grant, and generally vest from one to three years from the date of grant. Stock options are generally granted with ten-year terms. We recorded compensation expense for employee stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The model uses various assumptions, including a risk-free interest rate, the expected term of the options, the expected stock price volatility, and the expected dividend yield. There were no stock options granted during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Operating Segment Information Operating Segment Information
We are currently organized into four operating and reportable segments. During the third fiscal quarter of 2024, we changed the name of the formerly named Outdoor Products reportable segment to Revelyst and our formerly named Sporting Products reportable segment to The Kinetic Group. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024, we reorganized the former Revelyst reportable segment into three reportable segments, Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology based on brand portfolios. Our segment reporting is based upon the "management approach," i.e., how we organize operating segments for which separate financial information is (1) available and (2) evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODMs) are our two Co-Chief Executive Officers.
The Kinetic Group consists of our ammunition brands. The primary products of this segment include ammunition used for training, hunting, target shooting and personal protection.
Revelyst Outdoor Performance primarily consists of our outdoor cooking, fishing, outdoor accessories and technical gear and apparel brands. The primary products of this segment include waders, sportswear, outerwear, footwear and fishing tools and accessories, performance optics, outdoor accessories and outdoor cooking equipment.
Revelyst Adventure Sports primarily consists of our protective gear and apparel, footwear, hydration and e-mobility brands. The primary products of this segment include motocross, mountain biking, cycling, and snow sports protection and accessories, as well as bike hydration packs and water bottles, and e-bikes.
Revelyst Precision Sports Technology primarily consists of our golf technology brands. The primary products of this segment include high-performance golf GPS devices, laser rangefinders and launch monitors.
Our CODMs rely on internal management reporting that analyzes our segment operating income. Certain corporate-related costs and other non-recurring costs are not allocated to the segments in order to present comparable results from period to period and are not utilized by management in determining segment profitability. As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODMs to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets are not presented below.
No customer contributed more than 10% of sales during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Our sales to foreign customers were $476,686, $530,197, and $435,175 in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. During fiscal year 2024, approximately 30%, 10%, 50%, 10% of these sales were in The Kinetic Group, Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology, respectively. Sales to no individual country outside the U.S. accounted for more than 5% of our sales in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ from those estimates. We review our estimates to ensure that these estimates properly reflect changes in our business or as new information becomes available.

For the majority of our contracts with customers, we recognize revenue for our products at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment and coincides with our right to payment, the transfer of legal title, and the transfer of the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product. For our contracts that include bundled and hardware and software sales, revenue related to delivered hardware and bundled software is recognized when control has transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment. Revenue allocated to unspecified software update rights is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period they are expected to be provided.
The total amount of revenue we recognize for the sale of our products reflects various sales adjustments for discounts, returns, refunds, allowances, rebates, and other customer incentives. These sales adjustments can vary based on market conditions, customer preferences, timing of customer payments, volume of products sold, and timing of new product launches. These adjustments require management to make reasonable estimates of the amount we expect to receive from the customer. We estimate sales adjustments by customer or by product category on the basis of our historical experience with similar contracts with customers, adjusted as necessary to reflect current facts and circumstances and our expectations for the future. Sales taxes, firearms and ammunition excise tax, and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue. Revenue recognition is discussed in further detail in Note 5, Revenue Recognition.
For the immaterial amount of our contracts that have multiple performance obligations, which represent promises within an arrangement that are distinct, we allocate revenue to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSPs”). When available, we use observable prices to determine SSPs. When observable prices are not available, SSPs are established that reflect our best estimates of what the selling prices of the performance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. We allocate revenue and any related discounts to these performance obligations based on their relative SSPs.
Cost of Sales Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes material, labor, and overhead costs associated with product manufacturing, including depreciation, amortization, purchasing and receiving, inspection, warehousing, product liability, warranty, and inbound and outbound shipping and handling costs.
Research and Development Costs Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs consist primarily of compensation and benefits and experimental work materials for our employees who are responsible for the development and enhancement of new and existing products. Research and development costs incurred to develop new products and to enhance existing products are charged to expense as incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, General, and Administrative Expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense includes, among other items, administrative salaries, benefits, commissions, advertising, insurance, and professional fees.
Advertising Costs Advertising Costs. Advertising and promotional costs including print ads, commercials, catalogs, and brochures are expensed in the period when the first advertisement is run. Our co-op program is structured so that certain customers are eligible for reimbursement for certain types of advertisements on qualifying product purchases and are accrued as purchases are made. Advertising costs totaled $58,259, $59,189, and $58,028 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Cash Equivalents Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents are all highly liquid cash investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
Allowance for Estimated Credit Losses
Allowance for Estimated Credit Losses. We maintain an allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable for future expected credit losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. We estimate the allowance based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, and the customers' financial condition and in relation to a representative pool of assets consisting of a large number of customers with similar risk characteristics. The allowance is adjusted as appropriate to reflect differences in current conditions as well as changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions.
Inventories Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, or net realizable value. Inventory costs associated with work in process inventory and finished goods include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead, while costs associated with raw materials and purchased finished goods include material and inbound freight costs. We provide inventory allowances for any excess and obsolete inventories and periodically write inventory amounts down to market when costs exceed market value.
Warranty Costs
Warranty Costs. We provide consumer warranties against manufacturing defects on certain products with warranty periods typically ranging from one year to the expected lifetime of the product. The estimated costs of such product warranties are recorded at the time the sale is recorded. Estimated future warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale based upon actual past experience, our current production environment as well as specific and identifiable warranties as applicable. See Note 12, Other Current Liabilities, for additional detail.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability (the exit price) in the principal and most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. We measure and disclose the fair value of nonfinancial and financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The measurement of assets and liabilities at fair value are classified using the following three-tier hierarchy:
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3—One or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
See Note 2, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for additional disclosure regarding fair value of financial instruments.
Goodwill
Goodwill. We test goodwill for impairment on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is assigned to our reporting units, which are our operating segments, or components of an operating segment, that constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available, and for which segment management regularly reviews the operating results.
During the annual impairment review process we have the option to first perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “step zero”) over relative events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value or to perform a quantitative assessment (“step one”) where we estimate the fair value of each reporting unit using both an income and market approach. We completed a step zero assessment during the fourth quarter, and concluded there were no indicators of impairment. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for discussion and details.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, as a result of an increasingly challenging economic environment for consumers due to higher interest rate expectations continuing, and other factors affecting the market for our products, we reduced our projections for fiscal year 2024 and beyond for the majority of our reporting units within the former Revelyst reportable segment. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets and Note 19, Operating Segment Information, for further information on changes to our reporting units and reportable segments during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. As a result of a downward revision of forecasted cash flows due to lower volume and profitability expectations, combined with the decline in our stock price in the third fiscal quarter, we concluded that triggering events had occurred potentially indicating that the fair values of certain reporting units within our former Revelyst reportable segment were less than their carrying values. Based on these events, we completed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis and recognized goodwill impairment losses of $161,714 related to reporting units within our former Revelyst reportable segment, which are included in "Impairment of goodwill and intangibles" on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal year 2024. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information.
For the third quarter fiscal year 2024 interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, we determined the estimated fair value of each reporting unit and compared it to their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. The fair value of each reporting unit was determined considering both an income and market approach. We weighted the valuations of our former Revelyst segment reporting units using 100% of the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The weighted average cost of capital used in the income approach ranged between 12.5% and 16.0%, which was derived from the financial structures of comparable companies corresponding to the industry of each reporting unit. We weighted the value of The Kinetic Group reporting unit using 100% of the market approach, based on the offer accepted in the Sporting Products Sale. This market approach method estimates the price reasonably expected to be realized.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the assets might be impaired. We completed a step zero assessment during the fourth quarter, and concluded there were no indicators of impairment on our indefinite-lived intangibles. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for discussion and details.
In conjunction with our interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, we performed a fair value analysis on our indefinite-lived trademarks and trade names within the former Revelyst reportable segment, which resulted in impairment losses of $50,300, related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. These losses are included in "Impairment of goodwill and intangibles" on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal year of 2024. We also performed a step zero analysis on The Kinetic Group indefinite-lived trade names during the third fiscal quarter of 2024. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information.
We calculated the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangibles using the relief-from-royalty method which assumes that the asset has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. We estimated the future revenue for the related brands and technology, the appropriate royalty rate, and the weighted average cost of capital. We based our fair values and estimates on assumptions we believed to be reasonable, but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain.
Our assumptions used to develop the discounted cash flow analysis and the relief-from-royalty calculation require us to make significant estimates. The projections also take into account several factors including current and estimated economic trends and outlook, costs of raw materials and other factors that are beyond our control. If the current economic conditions were to deteriorate, or if we were to lose significant business, it is possible that the estimated fair value of certain reporting units or trade names could fall below their carrying value resulting in the necessity to conduct additional impairment tests in future periods. We continually monitor the reporting units and trade names for impairment indicators and update assumptions used in the most recent calculation of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit or trade names as appropriate.
Amortizing Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Amortizing Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets. Our long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant, and equipment, amortizing right-of-use assets related to our operating leases and amortizing costs related to cloud computing arrangements. Our primary identifiable intangible assets include trademarks and trade names, patented technology, and customer relationships. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable or exceeds its fair value.
In conjunction with our interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, we performed recoverability tests of our long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, by comparing the net book value of our long-lived assets or asset groups, to the future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to such assets. Based on the results of the recoverability test, we determined that the fair value of certain definite lived intangibles related to trade names and customer relationship within our former Outdoor Cooking reporting unit were less than their carrying value. The fair value of these intangibles was determined using the cost approach. As a result, we recorded impairment charges totaling $6,798 related to amortizing intangible assets, which are included in "Impairment of goodwill and intangibles" on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal year of 2024. See Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information.
Business Combinations
Business Combinations. We allocate the purchase price, including contingent consideration, of our acquisitions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values are primarily based on third-party valuations using our management assumptions that require significant judgments and estimates. The purchase price allocated to intangibles is based on unobservable factors, including but not limited to, projected revenues, expenses, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, and weighted average cost of capital, among others. The weighted average cost of capital uses a market participant’s cost of equity and after-tax cost of debt and reflects the risks inherent in the cash flows. The fair value calculation of initial contingent consideration associated with the purchase price also uses unobservable factors such as projected revenues and expenses over the term of the contingent earn-out period, discounted for the period over which the contingent consideration is measured, and volatility rates. Based upon these assumptions, the initial contingent consideration is then valued using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis in a risk-neutral framework. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are considered to be Level 3 inputs due to the lack of relevant market activity and significant management judgment. See Note 2, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for additional disclosure regarding fair value of financial instruments. During the measurement period of one year from the acquisition date, we continue to collect information and reevaluate our estimates and assumptions and record any adjustments to these estimates to goodwill. See Note 7, Acquisitions, for additional information.
Derivatives and Hedging
Derivatives and Hedging. We mitigate the impact of variable interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices affecting the cost of raw materials with interest rate swaps, foreign currency, and commodity forward
contracts that are accounted for as designated hedges pursuant to ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” ("ASC Topic 815"). ASC Topic 815 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, measure those instruments at fair value and recognize changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change unless the derivative qualifies as designated cash flow hedge that offsets certain exposures. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order for derivative financial instruments to be classified and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Derivatives that are not elected for hedge accounting treatment are recorded immediately in earnings. We may use derivatives to hedge certain variable interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity price risks, but do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. We utilize counterparties for our derivative instruments that we believe are creditworthy at the time the transactions are entered into and closely monitor the credit ratings of these counterparties. See Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information.
We would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, (iii) if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur, (iv) if a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or (v) if it is determined that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. The fair value of our forward contracts is based on pricing models using current market rates. These contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 2, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for further information.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation. We account for our share-based compensation arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" ("ASC Topic 718") which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Our stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 18, Stockholders' Equity, provide for the grant of various types of stock-based incentive awards, including performance awards, performance awards with a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier, restricted stock units, and options to purchase common stock. The types and mix of stock-based incentive awards are evaluated on an ongoing basis and may vary based on our overall strategy regarding compensation, including consideration of the impact of expensing stock awards on our results of operations.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with the accounting standard for income taxes. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Under this method, changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in income in the period such changes are enacted.
We record net deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent results of operations. Significant estimates are required for this analysis. If we were to determine that the amount of deferred income tax assets, we would be able to realize in the future had changed, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would decrease or increase the provision for income taxes.
The provision for federal, foreign, and state and local income taxes is calculated on income before income taxes based on current tax law and includes the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provision differs from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different reporting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes.
We periodically assess our liabilities and contingencies for all periods that are currently open to examination or have not been effectively settled based on the most current available information. Where it is not more likely than not that our tax position will be sustained, we record the entire resulting tax liability and when it is more likely than not of being sustained, we record our best estimate of the resulting tax liability. To the extent our assessment of the tax outcome of these matters changes, such change in estimate will impact the income tax provision in the period of change. It is our policy to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as part of the income tax expense for financial reporting purposes.
Worker's Compensation Worker's Compensation. The liability for losses under our worker's compensation program has been actuarially determined. The balance for worker's compensation liability was $9,662 and $8,198 as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Translation of Foreign Currencies Translation of Foreign Currencies. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates. Income and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses from the translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements into U.S. dollars are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") in stockholders' equity. Gains and losses from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity in which they reside are generally recognized during the current period in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), as part of other (expense) income, net.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
Other (Expense) Income, Net. Other (expense) income, net primarily includes gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency transactions. See Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements— In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring companies to (1) disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective rate reconciliation and (2) provide information on income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting Standards Adopted During this Fiscal Year—In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its program to allow a user of the financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The amendments in ASU 2022-04 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with the exception for the amendment on roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The guidance should be applied retrospectively, except for the amendment on roll-forward information, which should be applied prospectively. This ASU was effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, with the exception of the amendment on roll-forward information, which will be effective for us in our Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025. We adopted this ASU during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

(1) Fixed rate debt—In fiscal year 2021, we issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.5% Senior Notes which will mature on March 15, 2029. These notes are unsecured and senior obligations. The fair value of the fixed-rate debt is based on market quotes for each issuance. We consider these to be Level 2 instruments. See Note 14, Long-term Debt, for information on our credit facilities, including certain risks and uncertainties.
(2) Variable rate debt— The carrying value of the amounts outstanding under our ABL Revolving Credit Facility approximates the fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates as of March 31, 2024. The fair value of this debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observable market borrowing rates. See Note 14, Long-term Debt, for additional information on our credit facilities, including related certain risks and uncertainties.
During the third fiscal quarter of 2024, we recognized impairment losses related to our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair value of these assets are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for discussion and details of the impairment losses recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2024.
We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable or exceeds its fair value. These assets include long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for discussion of an identified trigger event and impairment expense related to certain amortizing intangibles during third fiscal quarter of 2024. See Note 3, Leases, for discussion of right of use asset (ROU) impairments during the fiscal year. Significant assumptions were used to estimate fair value of long-lived assets, which were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 13, Restructuring, for discussion of long-lived asset impairments related to our restructuring plan during fiscal year 2024.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Schedule of Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted
In computing EPS for the fiscal years presented, earnings, as reported for each respective period, is divided by the number of shares below:

Numerator:
Net income (loss)$(5,505)$(9,718)$473,226 
Denominator:

Dilutive effect of stock-based awards(1)
— — 1,947 
Diluted shares

Earnings (loss) per common share:
Basic$(0.10)$(0.17)$8.27 
Diluted$(0.10)$(0.17)$8.00 
(1) Due to the loss from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there are no common shares added to calculate dilutive EPS because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities of 300 and 1,504 were excluded from diluted EPS in fiscal years 2024 and 2023, respectively, as we had a net loss. There were no potentially dilutive securities, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because either the effect would have been anti-dilutive, or the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

(1) During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we incurred a total of $6,064 in acquisition related costs, including legal and other professional fees, all of which were reported in selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). This adjustment is to show the results as if those fees were incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.
(2) Adjustment reflects the increased cost of goods sold expense resulting from the fair value step-up in inventory, which was expensed over inventory turns.
(3) Adjustment for the estimated interest expense and debt issuance amortization expense on $580,000 in borrowings from Vista's 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2022 Term Loan, used to finance the acquisition of Fox Racing. The interest rate assumed for purposes of preparing this pro forma financial information is 5.58%. This rate is the weighted average interest rate for our borrowings under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility and 2022 Term Loan during the quarter of the acquisition.
(4) Adjustment for depreciation related to the revised fair-value basis of the acquired property, plant and equipment and change in estimated useful lives.
(5) Adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets.
(6) Represents an adjustment for management fees historically charged by the previous owner of Fox Racing under the terms of their management agreement.
(7) Income tax effect of the adjustments made at a blended federal, state, and international statutory rate adjusted for any non-deductible acquisition costs.

in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). This adjustment is to show the results as if those fees were incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
(2) Adjustment reflects the increased cost of goods sold expense resulting from the fair value step-up in inventory which was expensed in full during the third quarter of fiscal year 2022. This adjustment is to show the results as if that expense was incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
(3) Adjustment to reflect an increase in interest expense resulting from assumed advances to complete the transaction on our 2018 New Credit Facilities prior to March 31, 2021 and our 2021 ABL Revolving Credit Facility after March 31, 2021.
(4) Adjustment for depreciation related to the revised fair-value basis of the acquired property, plant and equipment and change in estimated useful lives.
(5) Adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets.
