BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Johnson Outdoors Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, and their results of
operations for the three and six month periods then ended and cash flows for the six month periods then ended. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2018 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2018.
Due to seasonal variations and other factors, the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 29, 2019 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the Company’s full 2019 fiscal year. See “Seasonality” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included elsewhere herein for additional
information.
The Company considers all short-term investments in interest-bearing accounts and all securities and other instruments with an original
maturity of three months or less, to be equivalent to cash. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value. Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit with original maturities greater than three months but
less than one year.
All monetary amounts, other than share and per share amounts, are stated in thousands.

|
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
|
Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $1,266, $1,637 and $2,446 as of March 29, 2019, September 28,
2018 and March 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in net accounts receivable to $124,750 as of March 29, 2019 from $40,866 as of September 28, 2018 is attributable to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business and the resulting increases in
sales volumes between periods. The determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where specific collection concerns about a receivable exist, a reserve is established to value the
affected account receivable at an amount the Company believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on historical experience of bad debts as a percent of accounts receivable
outstanding for each business segment. Uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company typically does not require collateral on its accounts receivable.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)
|
Net income or loss per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed using the two-class method. Grants of
restricted stock which receive non-forfeitable dividends are classified as participating securities and are required to be included as part of the basic weighted average share calculation under the two-class method.
Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to cash dividends equal to 110% of all dividends declared and paid on each share of Class B
common stock. The Company grants shares of unvested restricted stock in the form of Class A shares, which carry the same distribution rights as the Class A common stock described above. As such, the undistributed earnings for each period are
allocated to each class of common stock based on the proportionate share of the amount of cash dividends that each such class is entitled to receive.
Basic EPS
Basic net income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to Class A common stock and Class B common stock
by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding, respectively. In periods with cumulative year to date net income and undistributed income, the undistributed income for each period is
allocated to each class of common stock based on the proportionate share of the amount of cash dividends that each such class is entitled to receive. In periods where there is a cumulative year to date net loss or no undistributed income because
distributions through dividends exceed net income, Class B shares are treated as anti-dilutive and, therefore, net losses are allocated equally on a per share basis among all participating securities.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
For the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, basic income per share for the Class A and Class B shares
has been presented using the two class method and reflects the allocation of undistributed income described above.
Diluted EPS
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing allocated net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding,
adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock units (“stock units” or “units”) and non-vested restricted stock. Anti-dilutive stock options, units and non-vested stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. The
computation of diluted net income per share of Class A common stock assumes that Class B common stock is converted into Class A common stock. Therefore, diluted net income per share is the same for both Class A and Class B common shares. In
periods where the Company reports a net loss, the effect of anti-dilutive stock options and units is excluded and diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share for both classes of stock.
For the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, diluted net income per share reflects the effect of dilutive
stock units and assumes the conversion of Class B common stock into Class A common stock.
Non-vested stock that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future which were not included in the fully diluted computation
because they would have been anti-dilutive totaled 40,900 and 46,776 for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, respectively, and 42,710 and 63,048 for the six months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, respectively.
Stock units that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future and which were not included in the fully diluted computation because they would have been anti-dilutive were 34,832 and 36,842 for the three month periods ended March 29,
2019 and March 30, 2018, respectively, and 29,364 and 34,113 for the six months ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS
|
The Company’s current stock ownership plans allow for issuance of stock options to acquire shares of Class A common stock by key
executives and non-employee directors. Current plans also allow for issuance of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights in lieu of stock options.
Under the Company’s 2010 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan and the 2012 Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Plan (the only two plans where
shares remain available for future equity incentive awards) there were a total of 532,367 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock available for future grant to key executives and non-employee directors at March 29, 2019.
Non-vested Stock
All shares of non-vested stock awarded by the Company have been granted in the form of shares of Class A common stock at their fair
market value on the date of grant and vest within one year from the date of grant for stock granted to directors and four years from the date of grant for stock granted to officers and employees. The fair value at date of grant is based on the
number of shares granted and the average of the Company’s high and low Class A common stock price on the date of grant or, if the Company’s Class A shares did not trade on the date of grant, the average of the Company’s high and low Class A
common stock price on the last preceding date on which the Company’s Class A shares traded.

Non-vested stock grantees may elect to reimburse the Company for withholding taxes due as a result of the vesting of shares by tendering
a portion of the vested shares back to the Company. Shares tendered back to the Company were 3,381 and 9,377 during the six month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, respectively.
Stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, related to non-vested stock was $160 and $113 for the three month periods ended March 29,
2019 and March 30, 2018, respectively, and $278 and $221 for the six month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock as of March 29, 2019 was $1,549, which amount
will be amortized to expense through November 2022 or adjusted for changes in future estimated or actual forfeitures.
The fair value of restricted stock vested during the six month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $1,237 and $3,948,
respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
All restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded by the Company have been granted in the form of units payable in shares of Class A common stock
upon vesting. The units are valued at the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date of grant and vest within one year from the date of grant for RSUs granted to directors and three years from the date of grant for RSUs
granted to employees. The fair value at the date of grant is based on the number of units granted and the average of the Company’s high and low Class A common stock trading price on the date of grant or, if the Company’s Class A shares did not
trade on the date of grant, the average of the Company’s high and low Class A common stock trading price on the last preceding date on which the Company’s Class A shares traded.

through September 2021 or adjusted for changes in future estimated or actual forfeitures.
RSU grantees may elect to reimburse the Company for withholding taxes due as a result of the vesting of units and issuance of
unrestricted shares of Class A common stock by tendering a portion of such unrestricted shares back to the Company. Shares tendered back to the Company were 6,509 and 0 during the six month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018,
respectively.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
The fair value of RSUs vested during the six month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $3,333 and $549, respectively.
Compensation expense related to units earned by employees (as opposed to grants to outside directors) is based upon the attainment of
certain Company financial goals related to cumulative net sales and cumulative operating profit over a three-year performance period. Awards are only paid if at least 80% of the target levels are met and maximum payouts are made if 120% or more
of target levels are achieved. The payouts for achievement at the threshold levels of performance are equal to 50% of the target award amount. The payouts for achievement at maximum levels of performance are equal to 150% of the target award
amount. To the extent earned, awards are issued in shares of Company Class A common stock after the end of the three-year performance period.
Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s shareholders have adopted the Johnson Outdoors Inc. 2009 Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan, which was most recently amended on
March 2, 2017, and which provides for the issuance of shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of not less than 85% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant or on the date of purchase, whichever is lower.
During the three month period ended March 29, 2019, the Company issued 1,594 shares of Class A common stock and recognized $2 of income
in connection with the Employees' Stock Purchase Plan. During the six month period ended March 29, 2019, the Company issued 1,594 shares of Class A common stock and recognized $14 of expense in connection with the Plan. During the three and six
month periods ended March 30, 2018, the Company issued 1,740 shares of Class A common stock and recognized $10 and $20, respectively, in connection with the Plan.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2019 and the prior year period were consistent with no primary factors
impacting the rate. The most significant factors impacting changes in the effective tax rate for the six months ended March 29, 2019 as compared with the prior year period is from the impact of the $6,763 provisional tax expense generated by the
enactment of comprehensive tax legislation generally referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act") in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Act. The Tax Act created
a new requirement that certain income (commonly referred to as "GILTI") earned by controlled foreign corporations (CFC’s) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFC’s U.S. shareholder. The Company has elected to record the tax
effects of the GILTI provision as a period expense in the applicable tax year when incurred.
Prior to the Tax Act, our practice and intention was to reinvest the earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries, and no U.S. deferred income
taxes or foreign withholding taxes were recorded. The Company has not changed its practices or intentions with respect to these earnings.
The impact of the Company’s operations in jurisdictions where a valuation allowance is assessed is removed from the overall effective tax
rate methodology and recorded directly based on year to date results for the year for which no tax expense or benefit can be recognized. The tax jurisdictions that have a valuation allowance for the periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30,
2018 were:

The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable
authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, the Company may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits due to the impact of changes in its assumptions or as a result of new facts and developments, such as changes
to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities and lapses of statutes of limitation. The Company’s 2019 fiscal year tax expense is anticipated to be unchanged related to uncertain
income tax positions.
In accordance with its accounting policy, the Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized benefits as a
component of income tax expense. The Company is projecting accrued interest of $200 related to uncertain income tax positions for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2019.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, with federal, state, local and foreign taxing

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for a reporting unit on an annual basis or more frequently when events and
circumstances warrant such an evaluation. In conducting this analysis, the Company uses the income approach to compare the reporting unit's carrying value to its indicated fair value. Fair value is determined primarily by using a discounted
cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions and is considered a Level 3 (unobservable) fair value determination in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 13) below.

CONTINGENCIES
|
The Company is subject to various legal actions and proceedings in the normal course of business, including those related to commercial
disputes, product liability, intellectual property and regulatory matters. The Company is insured against loss for certain of these matters. Although litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the ultimate exposure with respect to these
matters cannot be ascertained, management does not believe the final outcome of any pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

INDEBTEDNESS
|
The Company had no debt outstanding at March 29, 2019, September 28, 2018, or March 30, 2018.
Revolvers
During the three months ended December 29, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new unsecured credit facility
with PNC Bank National Association and Associated Bank, N.A. ("the Lending Group"). This credit facility replaced the Company's previous revolving credit agreement dated September 16, 2013 and consists of an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
dated November 15, 2017 among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, PNC Bank National Association, as lender and as administrative agent, and the other lender named therein (the “Credit Agreement” or “Revolver”). The Revolver has
an expiration date of November 15, 2022 and provides for borrowing of up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000 with a $50,000 accordion feature that gives the Company the option to increase the maximum financing availability
(i.e., an aggregate borrowing amount of $125,000) subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement and subject to the approval of the lenders.
The interest rate on the Revolver is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which margin resets each quarter. The applicable margin
ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% and is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio for the trailing twelve month period. The interest rates on the Revolver at March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 were approximately 3.5% and 2.9%, respectively.
The Credit Agreement restricts the Company's ability to incur additional debt, includes maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest
coverage ratio covenants and is unsecured.
Other Borrowings
The Company had no unsecured revolving credit facilities at its foreign subsidiaries as of March 29, 2019 or March 30, 2018. The Company
utilizes letters of credit primarily as security for the payment of future claims under its workers’ compensation insurance, which totaled approximately $279 at each of March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
|
The following disclosures describe the Company’s objectives in using derivative instruments, the business purpose or context for using
derivative instruments, and how the Company believes the use of derivative instruments helps achieve the stated objectives. In addition, the following disclosures describe the effects of the Company’s use of derivative instruments and hedging
activities on its financial statements.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company has significant foreign operations, for which the functional currencies are denominated primarily in euros, Swiss francs,
Hong Kong dollars and Canadian dollars. As the values of the currencies of the foreign countries in which the Company has operations increase or decrease relative to the U.S. dollar, the sales, expenses, profits, losses, assets and liabilities of
the Company’s foreign operations, as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, increase or decrease, accordingly. Approximately 13% of the Company’s revenues for the six month period ended March 29, 2019 were denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Approximately 6% were denominated in euros, approximately 5% were denominated in Canadian dollars and approximately 2% were denominated in Hong Kong dollars, with the remaining revenues denominated in
various other foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates can cause the Company to experience unexpected financial losses or cash flow needs.
During the quarter ended March 30, 2018, the Company recognized a currency translation gain of $2,351 related to the substantial
liquidation of a foreign subsidiary. This gain is reported as a component of "Other (income) expense, net" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
The Company may mitigate a portion of the fluctuations in certain foreign currencies through the use of foreign currency forward
contracts. Foreign currency forward contracts enable the Company to lock in the foreign currency exchange rate to be paid or received for a fixed amount of currency at a specified date in the future. The Company may use such foreign currency
forward contracts to mitigate the risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates on financial instruments and known commitments, including commitments for inventory purchases, denominated in foreign currencies. As of March 29,
2019 and March 30, 2018, the Company held no foreign currency forward contracts.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
| • |
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange
markets involving identical assets or liabilities.
|
| • |
Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically
obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
|
| • |
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the
data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.
|
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated their fair
values at March 29, 2019, September 28, 2018 and March 30, 2018 due to the short term maturities of these instruments. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company may be required to value certain long-lived assets such as property,
plant, and equipment, and other intangibles at their fair value.
Valuation Techniques
Rabbi Trust Assets
Rabbi trust assets are classified as trading securities and are comprised of marketable debt and equity securities that are marked to
fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. The rabbi trust assets are used to fund amounts the Company owes to certain officers and other employees under the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan. These assets
are included in "Other assets" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the mark to market adjustments on the assets are recorded in “Other expense (income), net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The offsetting deferred compensation liability is also reported at fair value and is included in "Other liabilities" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the liability are recorded in "Administrative
management, finance and information systems" expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements and provides a new comprehensive revenue
recognition model. The underlying principle of the new standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for those
goods or services. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU on September 29, 2018 for all contracts on a modified retrospective basis, with no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption. The comparative information
has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards that were in effect for those periods. The additional disclosures required by the ASU are include in Note 15 "Revenues" of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income
Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained
earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. ASU No. 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU allows for early
adoption in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company early adopted the ASU in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and elected not to make this optional reclassification.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842). In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-10 Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements. In February 2019, the FASB also issued ASU 2019-01 Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements. The amendments in this update will increase the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance
sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and may be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at,
or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements with certain practical expedients available. An entity may apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Changes
to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (Topic 715), which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined pension or postretirement plans. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its disclosures.

REVENUES
|
Adoption of Topic 606
On September 29, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and the timing and amount of its revenue recognition remained substantially
unchanged under this new guidance.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the
transfer of control of our goods at a point in time based on shipping terms and transfer of title. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. For all contracts with customers, the Company has not adjusted the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a
significant financing component as the period between the transfer of the
promised goods and the customer's payment is expected to be one year or less. Sales are made on normal and customary short-term credit terms or upon delivery of point of sale transactions. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect
concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
The Company enters into contractual arrangements with customers in the form of individual customer orders which specify the goods,
quantity, pricing, and associated order terms. The Company does not have long-term contracts which are satisfied over time. Due to the nature of these contracts, no significant judgment exists in relation to the identification of the customer
contract, satisfaction of the performance obligation, or transaction price. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract due to the short-term nature of the contracts.
Estimated costs of returns, allowances and discounts, based on historic experience, are accrued as a reduction to sales when revenue is
recognized. Additionally, the Company records an other current asset for inventory which it expects to be returned with a corresponding reduction of cost of goods sold. The Company also offers assurance-type warranties relating to its products
sold to end customers that continue to be accounted for under ASC 460 Guarantees.
The Company generally accounts for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment activity, consistent with the timing of revenue
recognition; that is, when a customer takes control of the transferred goods. In the event that a customer were to take control of a product prior to shipment, the Company made an accounting policy election to treat such shipping and handling
activities as a fulfillment cost. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in "Net Sales," and shipping and handling costs are recognized within "Marketing and selling expenses" in the same period the related revenue is
recognized.
The Company has a wide variety of seasonal, outdoor recreation products used primarily for fishing from a boat, diving, paddling, hiking
and camping, that are sold to a variety of customers in multiple end markets. While there are multiple products sold, the nature of products are similar in terms of the nature of the revenue recognition policies.

SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
|
The Company conducts its worldwide operations through separate business segments, each of which represents major product lines.
Operations are conducted in the United States and various foreign countries, primarily in Europe, Canada and the Pacific Basin. During the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2019, combined net sales to one customer of the Company's
Fishing, Camping and Watercraft Recreation segments represented approximately $35,507 and $53,750, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenues. During the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2018, combined net sales to one
customer of the Company's Fishing, Camping and Watercraft Recreation segments represented approximately $30,450 and $49,280, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenues.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
Net sales and operating profit include both sales to customers, as reported in the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations, and interunit transfers, which are priced to recover cost plus an appropriate profit margin. Total assets represent assets that are used in the Company’s operations in each business segment at the end of the periods
presented.

See “Note 16 – Segments of Business” of the notes to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the definition of segment net sales
and operating profit.
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2019 were $177,707, an increase of $11,929, or 7%, compared to $165,778 for the three months
ended March 30, 2018. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of less than 1% on current year second quarter net sales compared to the prior year's second quarter net sales.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
Net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2019 for the Fishing business were $138,229, an increase of $12,723, or 10%, from $125,506 during the second
fiscal quarter of the prior year. Strong performance of new technologies new to the market drove the growth over the prior year quarter.
Net sales for the Camping business were $9,529 for the second quarter of the current fiscal year, a decrease of $553, or 5%, from the prior year net sales
during the same period of $10,082. Increased military tent sales over the prior year quarter were not enough to overcome declines in the other lines of business in this segment for the quarter.
Market conditions remain challenging in Watercraft Recreation where net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 were $9,851, a decrease of $957, or 9%,
compared to $10,808 in the prior year same period.
Diving net sales were $20,085 for the three months ended March 29, 2019 versus $19,370 for the three months ended March 30, 2018, an increase of $715, or
4%. Increased sales volume and the success of new products contributed to the growth over the prior year second quarter, which was partially offset by foreign currency translation unfavorably impacting sales in this segment by 4% versus the
prior year second quarter.
For the six months ended March 29, 2019, consolidated net sales were flat at $282,147 compared to $282,357 for the six months ended March 30, 2018.
Net sales for the six months ended March 29, 2019 for the Fishing business were $217,026, an increase of $2,613, or 1%, from $214,413 during the same period
of the prior year. Record sales volumes in the prior year to date period resulted in sales being relatively flat year over year, despite strong performance of new products in the current year to date period.
Net sales for the Camping business were $15,349 for the six months ended March 29, 2019, a decrease of $579, or 4%, from the prior year net sales during the
same period of $15,928. Increased sales of Jetboil products in the current year period were not enough to overcome declines in tent sales and the divestiture of the Silva brand in the prior year period.
Net sales for the six months ended March 29, 2019 for the Watercraft Recreation business were $14,176, a decrease of $989, or 7%, compared to $15,165 in the
prior year same period. The decline was due primarily to a weakened kayak market as well as lost distribution related to retail consolidations.
Diving net sales were $35,623 for the six months ended March 29, 2019 versus $36,808 for the six months ended March 30, 2018, a decrease of $1,185, or 3%.
The decrease is primarily due to an unfavorable foreign currency impact of 3% versus the prior year to date period.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 29, 2019 was $98,578 compared to $91,583 for the three months ended March 30, 2018. The increase year over
year was driven primarily by higher sales volume in the current year quarter over the prior year quarter. Additionally, tariffs implemented during the current fiscal year on the import of certain components and other supplies from China
increased the cost of sales in the current year quarter by approximately $1,400 over the prior year three month period.
For the six months ended March 29, 2019, cost of sales of $158,699 was relatively flat compared to $159,351 in the same period of the prior year. Tariffs
on the import of certain components and other supplies from China were approximately $2,100 in the six months ended March 29, 2019. These additional costs were offset by other material cost reductions.
On March 19, 2019, the Company received an exclusion from Section 301 tariffs for a component that is used in products assembled in the United States. As a
result of the exclusion granted, the Company now anticipates an aggregate reduced impact of Section 301 tariffs on the Company's fiscal 2019 net income, from the previous estimate of $6 to $9 million to approximately $5 to $7 million. The
exclusion applies for one year from the date it was granted and the Company will be reimbursed for tariffs previously assessed and paid on the excluded component. At this time, other product components remain subject to Section 301 tariffs, but
the Company continues mitigation efforts.
Gross Profit Margin
For the three months ended March 29, 2019, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 44.5% compared to 44.8% in the three month period ended March 30,
2018. The slight decline in margin was due primarily to the additional tariffs noted above.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
For the six months ended March 29, 2019, gross profit as a percentage of net sales improved slightly to 43.8% from 43.6% in the prior six month period
despite the additional tariffs noted above. Increased efficiencies and favorable product mix of sales in the Fishing business more than offset these additional costs.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $51,285 for the three months ended March 29, 2019 compared to $48,193 for the three months ended March 30, 2018. The increase of
$3,092 was primarily due to the impact of favorable market conditions on the Company's deferred compensation plan assets which resulted in $2,000 of higher compensation expense and an offsetting gain in Other Income during the current year
quarter. Additionally, higher sales volume related expenses between quarters further drove the increase from the prior year period.
Operating expenses of $89,626 for the six months ended March 29, 2019, were relatively flat compared to $89,967 for the six months ended March 30, 2018, mainly due to flat sales and
sales volume related expenses year over year. On a year to date basis, deferred compensation expense in the six months ended March 29, 2019 was $861 lower than the prior year six month period.
Operating Profit
Operating profit on a consolidated basis for the three month period ended March 29, 2019 was $27,844 compared to an operating profit of $26,002 in the
second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The improvement year over year was driven primarily by the increased sales volume between quarters and the other factors noted above.
Operating profit on a consolidated basis for the six months ended March 29, 2019 was $33,822 compared to an operating profit of $33,039 in the prior year to
date period. The slight improvement year over year was driven primarily by a small improvement in gross profit combined with slightly lower operating expenses between periods.
Interest
For the three months ended March 29, 2019, interest expense was $36 compared to $43 in the three months ended March 30, 2018. Interest expense was $73 for
the six months ended March 29, 2019 compared to $115 for the six months ended March 30, 2018.
Interest income for the three month periods ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 was $317 and $119, respectively. For the six months ended March 29,
2019, interest income was $857, compared to $321 for the six months ended March 30, 2018. The increase in interest income year over year was mainly driven by increased interest rates between periods, as well as the increase in interest earnings
on increased balances of short term investments and interest bearing cash in fiscal 2019 versus the corresponding periods of fiscal 2018.
Other Expense (Income), net
Other income was $1,895 for the three months ended March 29, 2019 compared to other income of $3,367 in the prior year period. For the three months ended
March 29, 2019, foreign currency exchange gains were $12 compared to gains of $2,212 for the three months ended March 30, 2018. The prior year quarter included a gain of $2,351 on the recognition of currency translation adjustments related to
the substantial liquidation of the Company's subsidiary in Japan. Investment gains and earnings on the assets related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan were $2,047 in the three month period ended March 29, 2019 compared
to investment gains and earnings of $83 in the three month period ended March 30, 2018.
For the six months ended March 29, 2019, other expense was $255 compared to other income $4,524 in the six months ended March 30, 2018. Foreign currency
gains were $176 for the six months ended March 29, 2019, compared to gains of $2,606 in the six months ended March 30, 2018. The prior six month period reflected the write off of currency translation adjustments related to the substantial
liquidation of the Company's subsidiary in Japan during the prior year to date period. Net investment losses on the assets related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan were $75 in the six month period ended March 29, 2019,
compared to investment gains and earnings of $789 in the six month period ended March 30, 2018. The prior year also included the gain on sale of certain trademarks in the Camping business of approximately $1,200 which was reported in Other
income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
Income Tax Expense
The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual effective tax rates in the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The
effective tax rate for the three and six month period ended March 29, 2019 were 27.0% and 25.9%, respectively, compared to 26.6% and 42.1% in the corresponding periods of the prior year.
The change in the Company's effective tax rate for the six month period ended March 29, 2019, versus the prior year six month period was primarily due to a
$6,763 provisional tax expense related to the 2017 tax reform referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 recognized in the prior year to date period. The difference between the 2019 second quarter overall tax rate and the U.S. statutory
rate of 21% primarily relates to the effect of state income tax during the current period ended March 29, 2019.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended March 29, 2019 was $21,923, or $2.18 per diluted common class A and B share, compared to net income of $21,620, or
$2.15 per diluted common class A and B share, for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Net income for the six months ended March 29, 2019 was $25,444, or $2.53 per diluted common class A and B share, compared to net income of $21,855, or $2.18
per diluted common class A and B share, for the six months ended March 30, 2018.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $68,205 as of March 29, 2019, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $51,066 as of March 30, 2018. The Company’s debt
to total capitalization ratio was 0% as of March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018. The Company’s total debt balance was $0 as of each of March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018. See “Note 11 – Indebtedness” in the notes to the Company’s accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $124,750 as of March 29, 2019, an increase of $513 compared to $124,237 as of March 30,
2018. The slight increase year over year was consistent with relatively flat sales volumes between the same periods. Inventories, net of inventory reserves, were $116,231 as of March 29, 2019, an increase of $21,624, compared to $94,607 as of
March 30, 2018. The increase over the prior year period is due, in part, to pulling forward certain purchases in anticipation of Section 301 tariffs on China sourced goods. Accounts payable were $42,391 at March 29, 2019 compared to $43,724 as
of March 30, 2018.

Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table:

Operating Activities
Cash used for operations totaled $69,881 for the six months ended March 29, 2019 compared with cash used for operations of $47,370 during the corresponding
period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in the use of cash over the prior year six month period was due primarily to the increase in inventory between periods. Depreciation and amortization charges were $6,842 for the six month period
ended March 29, 2019 compared to $6,398 for the corresponding period of the prior year.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $20,583 for the six months ended March 29, 2019 compared to $36,989 for the corresponding period of the prior
fiscal year. Cash provided in the prior year reflects the liquidation of short-term investments to cash in that period, which was re-invested in other short-term investments in subsequent periods, compared to fewer liquidations in the current
year period. Cash usage for capital expenditures totaled $8,178 for the current year six month period and $10,924 for the prior year period. The decrease in expenditures in the current year to date period was primarily related to a planned
global systems infrastructure upgrade and investments in digital transformation in the prior year six month period. The Company’s recurring investments are made primarily for software development and tooling for new products and enhancements on
existing products. Any additional expenditures in fiscal 2019 are expected to be funded by working capital.
Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities totaled $3,403 for the six months ended March 29, 2019 compared to $2,645 for the six month period ended March 30, 2018.
The year over year change was due primarily to higher dividends paid in the current year period over the prior year period.
During the quarter ended December 29, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank
National Association and Associated Bank, N.A. ("the Lending Group"). This credit facility replaced the Company's previous revolving credit agreement dated September 16, 2013 and consists of an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated
November 15, 2017 among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, PNC Bank National Association, as lender and as administrative agent, and the other lender named therein (the “Credit Agreement” or “Revolver”). The Revolver has an
expiration date of November 15, 2022 and provides for borrowing of up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000 with a $50,000 accordion feature that gives the Company the option to increase the maximum financing availability (i.e.,
an aggregate borrowing amount of $125,000) subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement and subject to the approval of the lenders. The Credit Agreement restricts the Company's ability to incur additional debt and includes maximum leverage
ratios and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants.
The interest rate on the Revolver resets each quarter and is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin on the Revolver ranges from
1.00% to 1.75% and is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio for the trailing twelve month period. The interest rates on the Revolver at March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 were approximately 3.5% and 2.9%, respectively.
As of March 29, 2019 the Company held approximately $32,170 of cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts in foreign taxing jurisdictions.

The Company utilizes letters of credit primarily as security for the payment of future claims under its workers compensation insurance. Letters of credit
outstanding were approximately $279 at each of March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018.
The Company anticipates making contributions of $94 to its defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of fiscal 2019.
The Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 28,
2018 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading “Critical Accounting Estimates.” There
were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended March 29, 2019.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
The Company’s exposure to market risk is limited to fluctuations in raw material commodity prices, interest rate fluctuations on borrowings under our
secured credit facilities and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our foreign operations. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company has significant foreign operations, for which the functional currencies are denominated primarily in euros, Swiss francs, Hong Kong dollars, and
Canadian dollars. As the values of the currencies of the foreign countries in which the Company has operations increase or decrease relative to the U.S. dollar, the sales, expenses, profits, losses, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign
operations, as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, increase or decrease, accordingly. Approximately 13% of the Company’s revenues for the six month period ended March 29, 2019 were denominated in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar. Approximately 6% were denominated in euros, approximately 5% in Canadian dollars and approximately 2% in Hong Kong dollars, with the remaining revenues denominated in various other foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency
exchange rates can cause unexpected financial losses or cash flow needs. The Company may mitigate a portion of the fluctuations in certain foreign currencies through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency forward
contracts enable the Company to lock in the foreign currency exchange rate to be paid or received for a fixed amount of currency at a specified date in the future. The Company may use such foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk
associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates on financial instruments and known commitments, including commitments for inventory purchases, denominated in foreign currencies. As of March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, the Company held
no foreign currency forward contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company operates in a seasonal business and experiences significant fluctuations in operating cash flow as working capital needs increase in advance of
the Company’s primary selling and cash generation season, and decline as accounts receivable are collected and cash is accumulated or debt is repaid. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its seasonal working capital needs if such
needs are funded with short term floating rate debt.
Commodities
Certain components used in the Company’s products are exposed to commodity price changes. The Company manages this risk through instruments such as
purchase orders and non-cancelable supply contracts. Primary commodity price exposures include costs associated with metals, resins and packaging materials.
Impact of Inflation
The Company anticipates that changing costs of basic raw materials may impact future operating costs and, accordingly, the prices of its products. The
Company is involved in continuing programs to mitigate the impact of cost increases through changes in product design and identification of sourcing and manufacturing efficiencies. Price increases and, in certain situations, price decreases are
implemented for individual products, when appropriate.
The Company’s results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost. The Company does not believe that inflation has
significantly affected its results of operations.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching a level of reasonable assurance. It should be noted that in
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,
and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has designed its disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act) that
occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

in any claim or action the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

See Exhibit Index to this Form 10-Q report.
