About Clarus Corp

Clarus Corp. is a U.S.-based company listed on the NASDAQ market in the United States and focused on outdoor equipment and lifestyle products for enthusiast consumers. Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, the company has built its business around a portfolio of specialist brands and a model centered on product design, manufacturing, and global distribution. Clarus was formerly known as Black Diamond, Inc. and changed its name in 2017, reflecting a broader multi-brand corporate structure rather than a single-brand operating identity.

The Outdoor segment includes Black Diamond Equipment and PIEPS, with products for climbing, mountaineering, trail running, skiing, and backcountry activities. The Adventure segment includes Rhino-Rack, MAXTRAX, TRED Outdoors, and RockyMounts, addressing vehicle-based adventure, roof racks, bike transport, recovery gear, and related mobility accessories. The company sells its products globally through outdoor specialty retailers, online channels, its own websites, distributors, and original equipment manufacturers.

Its value proposition is built on technical credibility, innovation, brand heritage, and product performance in demanding environments. Black Diamond remains one of the group’s anchor brands, with a long history in climbing and snow sports, while Rhino-Rack, MAXTRAX, and RockyMounts broaden the company’s exposure to vehicle accessories and adventure travel demand. This brand mix gives Clarus a differentiated position in categories where reputation, durability, and product engineering matter more than scale alone.

In 2024, Clarus completed the acquisition of RockyMounts, expanding its bike-rack capabilities within the Adventure segment. In July 2025, the company sold PIEPS, further sharpening its brand lineup. Clarus’ March 2026 full-year 2025 results showed lower revenue, but management highlighted efforts to position the business for profitable growth and reported positive free cash flow in the fourth quarter. The company also continued its quarterly cash dividend of $0.025 per share, indicating that shareholder returns remain part of the capital allocation framework despite a challenging operating backdrop.
