FY 2022 PERFORMANCE This fiscal year was marked by two competing trends. First, demand from our trade partners for Johnson Outdoors products remained strong, with high participation in outdoor recreation. We saw double-digit growth in our Camping business, continuing momentum in Watercraft, and growth in Diving as markets opened and tourism began to recover. Building on powerful consumer insights. Our intense focus on deep, rich consumer insights is key to creating equipment that people can rely on for their next great adventure. We continue to earn the trust of experienced outdoor enthusiasts as well as outdoor recreation newcomers—because our products demonstrate that we understand their wants and can uncover their needs. At the same time, however, global supply chain disruptions persisted—especially in our Fishing business. Fiscal 2022 sales held relatively steady, down just 1 percent from last year’s record high. Operating profit decreased 40 percent, and net income fell 47 percent over the prior fiscal year. It’s clear that managing the challenging supply chain environment is a top priority. We continue to evaluate all avenues to mitigate supply and cost pressures moving into the next fiscal year. PURSUING PROVEN STRATEGIES Even as we’re working to maximize product build and shipments to customers, we’re also looking to the future—pursuing the strategic initiatives that over the years have helped us develop strong, market-leading brands across our portfolio. Sustaining innovation leadership. Year after year, our innovative products win industry recognition and drive sales. We’re strategic about integrating the right new technologies and features, building on our consumer insights as well as our technical know- how and our own passion for adventure. Surfacing new growth opportunities. The willingness to embrace change enables us to identify opportunities for both organic growth and growth through acquisition. We regularly challenge current thinking, grounding our approach in research, analytics and expertise in new technologies. Advancing digital leadership. Consumer habits and expectations evolve as rapidly as the technology that serves them. We continue to optimize our digital and ecommerce effectiveness, emphasizing both digital marketing and omnichannel access. 4 | JOUT-NASDAQ | 2022 Annual Report EXPANDING ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS Leaving the world a better place has always been central to our values. We continue to build the capabilities to drive environmental action as a company and with our consumers. We’re assessing the natural resources we use in our operations, such as water and energy, and looking for opportunities to reduce waste, recycle materials and pursue continuous improvement. For example, we’re exploring the use of renewable energy to power a portion of our operations. This year we also launched our partnership with the National Wildlife Federation, a crucial step to advance natural resource conservation. While we’ll support NWF programs like Eco-Schools USA and the Earth Tomorrow program for underserved youth, our focus is the initiative we created with NWF—the Clean Earth Challenge. This challenge calls on outdoor enthusiasts all over the world to remove litter from the wild spaces we all love, tracking progress and encouraging others to join in. We’re excited to see the momentum building, kicked off by our enthusiastic employees, consumers and other participants. APPRECIATING OUR PEOPLE Recognizing that our people truly are our greatest asset, we continually look for ways to make Johnson Outdoors a workplace of choice. We’re expanding inclusivity efforts as well as continuing to emphasize employee safety, well-being, engagement and professional development. FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Johnson Outdoors works every day to create long-term value for all stakeholders—from our people, customers, consumers and investors to the entire planet. When it comes to the great outdoors, we’re determined to make decisions for the greater good—ensuring continuing adventures for generations to come. Helen P.

Factors affecting results included: • In Fishing, despite strong demand, revenue declined 5 percent, driven primarily by supply chain disruptions that slowed our ability to complete and ship finished goods. • Camping grew 12 percent due to higher sales for both Jetboil® and Eureka!® products. • Watercraft Recreation sales increased • Diving sales rose 14 percent as global regions reopened and tourism increased. Total operating profit was $66.3 million in fiscal 2022, comparing unfavorably to $111.3 million in the prior fiscal year. High materials costs pushed gross margin down to 36.5 percent in fiscal 2022, versus 44.5 percent in fiscal 2021. Operating expenses decreased $17.8 million, due largely to lower variable and deferred compensation expense. Profit before income taxes was $58.9 million versus $112.9 million in the prior year. 2 percent due to continued demand for the Sportsman line. Net income for fiscal 2022 was $44.5 million, or $4.37 per diluted share, a 47 percent FY2022 HIGHLIGHTS • Continued strong orders in all business segments • Awards for new product innovation • Debt-free balance sheet • Increased quarterly dividend to shareholders 32 | JOUT-NASDAQ | 2022 Annual Report 32 | JOUT-NASDAQ | 2022 Annual Report decline from $83.4 million, or $8.21 per diluted share, in fiscal 2021. The effective tax rate was 24.4 percent versus fiscal 2021’s rate of 26.2 percent. Heading into fiscal 2023, we continue to closely monitor demand and proactively manage inventory. While we’ve seen the supply chain improve for raw materials and purchased components, we expect constraints to occur periodically and for our margins to continue to be impacted by inflationary pricing. Our balance sheet and healthy cash position give us the flexibility and resources to invest in strategic opportunities to strengthen the business, while consistently paying dividends to shareholders.
