Capstone Headwaters

The Recreational Products industry has been supported by historical levels of

disposable income and significant shifts in consumer preferences towards

products and activities that promote healthy lifestyles. According to the

Outdoor Industry Association’s “2018 Outdoor Participation Report,” 49.0% of

the US population in 2017 participated in outdoor recreational activities, a slight

increase from 20161. The leading motivations for outdoor recreational

participation were to exercise and remain physically fit, to be with family and

friends, and to observe scenic beauty and be close to nature.

Capstone Headwaters’ Recreational Products public company index indicates an

average EBITDA multiple of 12.3x year-to-date (YTD), compared to 11.8x YTD

2017. Robust fundamentals in the space have supported strategic acquisitions

as companies look to expand current product offerings, deepening their reach

into niche corners of the Recreational Products market. Of the 65 transactions

in YTD 2018, 66.1% of deals have been announced or completed by strategic

acquirers. Noteworthy public company transactions include Winnebago

Industries’ (NYSE:WGO) acquisition of Christ-Craft Corporation (June 2018,

terms of the deal were not disclosed) that allows Winnebago access to the

recreational powerboat and water sport market; and Golf Digest Online’s (GDO)

(TSE:3319) acquisition of GolfTEC Enterprises (June 2018, $37.6 million), which

expands GDO’s training capabilities to encompass over 200 GOLFTEC centers.

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHT: WINTER SPORTS

The Winter Sports segment has experienced 10

transactions YTD in 2018, accounting for 15.4% of total

deal volume, compared to 6.7% of total deal volume in all

of 2017. Deal activity is expected to continue to increase

as US Winter Sport (i.e., ice skating, skiing, snowboarding,

snowshoeing, and snowmobiling) participation rates

continue to climb. Rates have reached a five-year peak of

14.9% of the US population. Increasing participation

rates, rising disposable incomes, and favorable weather

conditions are expected to support demand in the Winter

Sports segment.

The global Ski Gear & Equipment market value is

expected to reach $1.4 billion by 2025, representing a

2.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during the

forecast period (2018-2025), according to Coherent

Market Insights.4 North America is anticipated to

continue to hold a dominant market share as it accounted

for 25.9% of the overall Ski Gear & Equipment market in

2017. Capstone Headwaters has identified several

transactions in the Ski Gear & Equipment market,

supported by strong participation rates and resort visits.

For example, Vista Outdoors (NYSE:VSTO) has divested its

winter sports and lifestyle eyewear and product brands,

Bollé, Cébé, and Serengeti (July 2018), to A&M Capital

Advisors for total proceeds of $185.8 million.5 In addition,

Mammut Sports Group, a provider of outdoor recreational

apparel and gear, acquired Mountain Hub, an online and

offline GPS application for outdoor activities in July

(highlighted on the following page).

COMPOUND ANNUAL GROWTH RATE –

SKI GEAR & EQUIPMENT MARKET2.9%

US Ski & Snowboard Resorts revenues are expected to

reach $2.8 billion in 2018, indicating an annual growth of

1.5% from 2013 to 2018, according to IBISWorld.2 In the

2017/2018 season, 53.3 million skiers and snowboarders

visited US ski resorts, consistent with the 40-season

average, according to National Ski Areas Association

(NSAA).3 Notably, the share of visits that included a

lesson at US ski areas increased in the 2017/2018 season,

indicating new skiers entering the market and thus

increasing future interest and growth in the industry. The

increased interest and visitation figures are expected to

lead to annual growth of 0.8% from 2018 to 2023, a

conservative forecast as revenue and participation in the

Winter Sport industry remain heavily contingent on

weather conditions.

The heavy concentration and high barriers to entry in the

Ski Resort market has created significant inorganic growth

opportunities as leading mountain resort operators seek

to increase scale and geographic presence, while smaller2

resort operators struggle to keep up with the advancing

technological landscape. Most notably, Vail Resorts

(NYSE:MTN), an operator of mountain resorts and ski

areas holding 46.7% of the US market share, has acquired

Stevens Pass Mountain Resort (June 2018, $67.0 million),

an operator of a ski resort in Skykomish, Washington; and

Triple Peaks (June 2018, $237.0 million) the parent

company of Okemo Mountain Resort in Vermont, Mount

Sunapee Resort in New Hampshire, and Crested Butte

Mountain in Colorado. Steady growth in the Ski &

Snowboard Resorts industry is expected to be a driver of

demand for the Winter Sports market.

OF US SKI RESORT VISITS

COME FROM SNOWBOARDERS 26.1%In 2017, snowboarders accounted for 26.1% of all US

resort visits, an increase from the 2013 level of 22.8%,

according to IBISWorld. Over the last five years, the

spread between snowboard and ski participation rates has

been less than 1.0%, according to the OIA 2018 Outdoor

Participation Report. Growth in snowboard participation

has lead to consolidation among leading snowboard

product brands seeking to bolster their suite of products

and manufacturing capabilities. YTD 2018, there have

been two transactions involving snowboard companies. In

September, Nidecker, a Swiss manufacturer of

snowboards, acquired Rome Snowboards, a manufacturer

of snowboarding products based in Vermont (highlighted

on the following page). Earlier in April, Ride Snowboard

Company, a manufacturer of snowboarding products

based in Seattle, acquired Device Manufacturing

Corporation, a snowboard bindings manufacturer.

Nidecker SA acquires Rome SDS Snowboards Corporation

(September 2018, undisclosed)

Nidecker SA, a manufacturer and supplier of snowboards, snow surf, and water sport products, has

acquired Rome Snowboards, a leading snowboard manufacturer. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Founded in 2001 and based in Waterbury, Vermont, Rome Snowboards has established itself as one of

the leading snowboard manufacturers in the US. Rome Snowboards will join Nidecker’s subsidiary Low

Pressure Studios, a multi-brand platform that currently manages and distributes three snowboard

product brands.

Rome Snowboards adds its renown and proven snowboard design and technology to Nidecker’s well-

established product offerings. The strategic acquisition expands Nidecker’s US Snowboard industry

exposure, further establishing its portfolio of leading snowboard product manufacturers.6

Mammut Sports Group AG acquires Mountain Hub, Inc.

(July 2018, undisclosed)

Mammut Sports Group, a Swiss multinational mountaineering and trekking company, has acquired

Mountain Hub, a community-fueled application that allows outdoor enthusiasts to access trail maps

and share insights and experiences with the outdoor community. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Founded in 2015, Mountain Hub was created by MIT graduate students looking to enhance the

outdoors experience by crowdsourcing real-time trip routes and conditions. The acquisition aligns with

Mammut’s focus to enhance customer experience and build community through outdoor recreational

activity and products.

“This is about experiences,” said Joe Prebich, CEO for Mammut North America, in a press release. 7 “The

acquisition of Mountain Hub brings a whole new way to partner with consumers and professionals to

deliver a digital experience like no one else can. From trail data to community meetups, athlete profiles

and trip logs to real-time reports that aid in your daily adventures, Mountain Hub truly brings digital

into the outdoors in a seamless and organic way.”

Implus Corporation acquires 32north Corporation

(January 2018, undisclosed)

Implus Corporation, a consumer packaged goods company that specializes in fitness, outdoor, sporting

goods, and footwear, has acquired 32north Corporation. 32north Corporation, doing business as

STABIL, manufactures traction footwear, offering products for a wide range of recreational outdoor

activities. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Founded in 1990, STABIL is the designer of patented products, STABILicers, Stat-A-Rest, and STABIL Turf

performance footwear products which are made in the US and Canada. The acquisition expands

Implus’ portfolio, owned by Berkshire Partners, of leading traction brands including Yaktrak, SnowTrax,

and ICEtrekkers. STABIL’s patented design make it an immediate value-add to the Implus’ portfolio.8
