Williams said the bank has provided substantial financial relief to its clients through participation in government programs as well as its own payment relief programs.
“We provided payment accommodations to almost 20 percent of our clients, and we offered first-round Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program Loans (PPP) to over 300 clients. We are offering additional funding for the second round of SBA PPP loans. We will continue to work together with our clients to ensure that we can provide financial solutions to assist them on their path to recovery as we all work to overcome the pandemic.”

Clarus develops, manufactures and distributes outdoor equipment and lifestyle products focused on the climb, ski, mountain and sport markets. It expects to release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 results in early March.
“Today’s preliminary results demonstrate the continued strength of our well-diversified brand portfolio,” John Walbrecht, president, said in announcing the results. “Our sales growth, which we expect to flow through to adjusted EBITDA growth at an even higher rate, is a testament to the success and resilience of our ‘super fan’ brand strategy.
“Barnes, in particular, has outperformed our expectations in its first few months on our platform. As we continue the integration process, we remain confident in our ability to leverage Barnes’ industry-leading technology and product innovation to drive growth and build a leading specialty premium bullet and ammunition platform,” he said.
“In our Black Diamond business, our commitment to preserving brand equity as we execute on our ‘innovate and accelerate’ playbook has allowed us to adeptly navigate a dynamic retail environment. I am proud of our team’s dedication and flexibility throughout the past year, and we will continue working to maximize the profitability of our brands and the value we create for our shareholders.”
