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 June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, and their results of operations for the three and nine month periods then ended and cash flows for the nine
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 nine months ended June 28, 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 $1,969, $1,637 and $1,446 as of June 28, 2019, September 28, 2018 and June 29, 2018, respectively. The increase in net accounts receivable to
$82,860 as of June 28, 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 nine month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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 nine month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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 45,898 and 46,776 for the three
months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and 43,772 and 57,624 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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 28,673 and 38,392 for the three month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and 31,178 and 39,605 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019
and June 29, 2018, respectively.
There were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding in either the three or nine month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018.

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 June 28, 2019.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
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.
A summary of non-vested stock activity for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 related to the Company’s stock ownership plans is as follows:

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 nine month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively.
Stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, related to non-vested stock was $240 and $106 for the three month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and $518 and $394 for the nine month periods
ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock as of June 28, 2019 was $1,309, 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 nine month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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.

forfeitures.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
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 nine month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively.
The fair value of RSUs vested during the nine month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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 June 28, 2019, the Company issued 0 shares of Class A common stock and recognized $4 of expense in connection with the Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan. During the nine month period
ended June 28, 2019, the Company issued 1,594 shares of Class A common stock and recognized $20 of expense in connection with the Plan. During the three month period ended June 29, 2018, the Company issued 0 shares of Class A common stock and
recognized $17 of expense in connection with the Plan. During the nine month period ended June 29, 2018, the Company issued 1,740 shares of Class A common stock and recognized $44 of expense in connection with the Plan.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 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 nine months ended June 28, 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 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, the Company’s 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 June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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 $100
related to uncertain income tax positions for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2019.
The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, with federal, state, local and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is currently undergoing income tax examinations in Germany and
Italy. As of the date of this report, the following tax years remain open to examination by the respective tax jurisdictions:

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 June 28, 2019, September 28, 2018, or June 29, 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 June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 were approximately 3.4% and 3.1%, 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 June 28, 2019 or June 29, 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 June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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 nine month period ended June 28, 2019 were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Approximately 5% 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 nine months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recognized a currency translation gain of $2,290 related to the liquidation of the Company’s subsidiary in Japan. 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 June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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 June 28, 2019, September 28, 2018 and June 29, 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 nine month periods ended June 28, 2019, combined net sales to one customer of the Company’s Fishing, Camping and Watercraft Recreation segments represented approximately $24,260 and $78,010,
respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues. During the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2018, combined net sales to one customer of the Company’s Fishing, Camping and Watercraft Recreation segments represented approximately
$26,755 and $76,035, 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.

Highlights
Net sales of $176,253 for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 increased $5,474, or 3%, from the same period in the prior year, reflecting increased sales volumes in the Fishing business. A decrease of $3,926 in operating profit over the prior year
quarter was primarily the result of the impact of tariffs implemented during the current fiscal year on the import of certain components and other supplies from China, as well as increased marketing spend and increased bad debt expense year over
year.
Seasonality
The Company’s business is seasonal in nature. The third fiscal quarter falls within the Company’s primary selling season for its warm-weather outdoor recreation products. The table below sets forth a historical view of the Company’s seasonality

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 June 28, 2019 were $176,253, an increase of $5,474, or 3%, compared to $170,779 for the three months ended June 29, 2018. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of less than 1% on
current year third quarter net sales compared to the prior year’s third quarter net sales.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
Net sales for the three months ended June 28, 2019 for the Fishing business were $128,196, an increase of $6,276, or 5%, from $121,920 during the third fiscal quarter of the prior year. New to the market technologies drove the growth over the
prior year quarter.
Net sales for the Camping business were $14,728 for the third quarter of the current fiscal year, an increase of $813, or 6%, from the prior year net sales during the same period of $13,915. Increased military tent sales, as well as increased
sales of Jetboil products over the prior year quarter were the primary driver of growth over the prior year third quarter.
Market conditions remain challenging in Watercraft Recreation where net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were $13,010, a decrease of $1,105, or 8%, compared to $14,115 in the prior year same period.
Diving net sales were $20,243 for the three months ended June 28, 2019 versus $20,774 for the three months ended June 29, 2018, a decrease of $531, or 3%. The decrease is largely due to foreign currency translation unfavorably impacting sales in
this segment by approximately 3% versus the prior year third quarter.
For the nine months ended June 28, 2019, consolidated net sales were $458,400, an increase of $5,264 compared to $453,136 for the nine months ended June 29, 2018.
Net sales for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 for the Fishing business were $345,222, an increase of $8,889, or 3%, from $336,333 during the same period of the prior year. New to the market technologies drove the growth in the current year to
date period.
Net sales for the Camping business were $30,077 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, an increase of $234, or 1%, from the prior year net sales during the same period of $29,843. Increased sales of Jetboil products and military tents in the
current year to date period were largely offset by declines in other tent sales and the divestiture of the Silva brand in the prior year period.
Net sales for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 for the Watercraft Recreation business were $27,186, a decrease of $2,094, or 7%, compared to $29,280 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 $55,866 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 versus $57,582 for the nine months ended June 29, 2018, a decrease of $1,716, or 3%. The decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately
3% versus the prior year to date period.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 28, 2019 was $96,528 compared to $91,446 for the three months ended June 29, 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 $1,900 over the prior year
three month period.
For the nine months ended June 28, 2019, cost of sales of $255,227 increased slightly compared to $250,797 in the same period of the prior year. The main driver of the increase over the prior year period was tariffs on the import of certain
components and other supplies from China, which were approximately $4,000 in the nine months ended June 28, 2019.
The Company anticipates an aggregate negative impact of Section 301 tariffs on China sourced goods on the Company’s fiscal 2019 net income of approximately $5 to $7 million.
Gross Profit Margin
For the three months ended June 28, 2019, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 45.2% compared to 46.5% in the three month period ended June 29, 2018. The decline in margin was due primarily to the impact of the additional tariffs noted
above.
For the nine months ended June 28, 2019, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 44.3%, relatively flat to 44.7% in the prior year nine month period despite the impact of the additional tariffs noted above. Increased efficiencies and
favorable product mix of sales in the Fishing business and price increases in Diving helped to offset these additional costs.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $51,696 for the three months ended June 28, 2019 compared to $47,378 for the three months ended June 29, 2018. The increase of $4,318 was primarily due to increased marketing spend and increased bad debt expense, as well
as higher sales volume related expenses between quarters.
Operating expenses were $141,322 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 compared to $137,345 for the nine months
ended June 29, 2018, an increase of $3,977 between periods mainly due to increased marketing spend and higher bad debt expense year over year.
Operating Profit
Operating profit on a consolidated basis for the three month period ended June 28, 2019 was $28,029 compared to an operating profit of $31,955 in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. The decrease year over year was driven primarily by the
impact of the tariffs and the other factors noted above.
Operating profit on a consolidated basis for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 was $61,851 compared to an operating profit of $64,994 in the prior year to date period. The decline year over year was mainly due to increased operating expenses as
noted above.
Interest
For the three months ended June 28, 2019, interest expense was $64 compared to $55 in the three months ended June 29, 2018. Interest expense was $137 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 compared to $170 for the nine months ended June 29,
2018.
Interest income for the three month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 was $434 and $172, respectively. For the nine months ended June 28, 2019, interest income was $1,291, compared to $493 for the nine months ended June 29, 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 interest bearing cash in fiscal 2019 versus the corresponding periods of
fiscal 2018.
Other Expense (Income), net
Other income was $493 for the three months ended June 28, 2019 compared to other expense of $293 in the prior year period. For the three months ended June 28, 2019, foreign currency exchange losses were $194 compared to losses of $213 for the
three months ended June 29, 2018. Investment gains and earnings on the assets related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan were $710 in the three month period ended June 28, 2019 compared to investment gains and earnings of $345
in the three month period ended June 29, 2018.
For the nine months ended June 28, 2019, other income was $238 compared to other income $4,231 in the nine months ended June 29, 2018. Foreign currency losses were $18 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to gains of $2,393 in the
nine months ended June 29, 2018. The prior year nine month period reflected a gain of $2,290 for the write off of currency translation adjustments related to the liquidation of the Company’s subsidiary in Japan during the prior year to date period.
Net investment gains and earnings on the assets related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan were $635 in the nine month period ended June 28, 2019, compared to investment gains and earnings of $1,132 in the nine month period
ended June 29, 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.
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 nine month periods ended June 28, 2019 were 23.6% and
24.9%, respectively, compared to 25.2% and 34.4% in the corresponding periods of the prior year.
The change in the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine month period ended June 28, 2019, versus the prior year nine month period was primarily due to a $6,763 provisional tax expense related to the enactment of 2017 tax reform referred to as
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was recognized in the prior year to date period. The difference between the 2019 third quarter overall tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily relates to the effect of state income tax during
the current year period ended June 28, 2019.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended June 28, 2019 was $22,066, or $2.19 per diluted common class A and B share, compared to net income of $23,770, or $2.37 per diluted common class A and B share, for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Net income for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 was $47,510, or $4.72 per diluted common class A and B share, compared to net income of $45,625, or $4.54 per diluted common class A and B share, for the nine months ended June 29, 2018.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $148,968 as of June 28, 2019, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $129,277 as of June 29, 2018. The Company’s debt to total capitalization ratio was 0% as of June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018. The Company’s
total debt balance was $0 as of each of June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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 $82,860 as of June 28, 2019, an increase of $1,983 compared to $80,877 as of June 29, 2018. The increase year over year was consistent with increased sales volumes between the same
periods. Inventories, net of inventory reserves, were $95,833 as of June 28, 2019, an increase of $18,534, compared to $77,299 as of June 29, 2018. The increase over the prior year period is due, in part, to pulling forward certain purchases in
anticipation of the implementation of Section 301 tariffs on China sourced goods and long lead times in relation to certain electronic components. Accounts payable were $37,190 at June 28, 2019 compared to $32,978 as of June 29, 2018.
The Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as presented in the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table:

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operations totaled $15,620 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 compared to $37,026 during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in cash provided by operations over the prior year nine month period
was due primarily to the increase in inventory and accounts receivable between periods, offset in part by significant pension contributions and the write off of currency translation adjustments in the prior year period. Depreciation and amortization
charges were $10,377 for the nine month period ended June 28, 2019 compared to $9,617 for the corresponding period of the prior year.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $16,743 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 compared to $8,260 for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Cash provided in the prior year period reflected increased investment in
short-term investments versus cash in that period. Cash usage for capital expenditures totaled $12,031 for the current year nine month period and $14,653 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 nine 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.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities totaled $4,794 for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 compared to $3,832 for the nine month period ended June 29, 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 June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 were approximately 3.4% and 3.1%, respectively.
As of June 28, 2019 the Company held approximately $35,869 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 June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018.
The Company anticipates making contributions of $50 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 nine months ended June 28, 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 nine month period ended June 28, 2019 were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Approximately 5% 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 June 28, 2019 and June 29, 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.
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.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.
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.

effect on our financial statements.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2018.
