DocumentCONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF
Cricut, Inc.
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD FROM
JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2022
I.Introduction
This is the Conflict Minerals1 Report of Cricut, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Cricut,” or the “Company”) prepared for calendar year 2022 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (“Rule 13p-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”). Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 of the Act and SEC Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) under the Act (the “Adopting Release”). The reader is referred to these sources for the definitions of defined terms contained herein.
In accordance with Rule 13p-1, we undertook efforts to determine the presence and source of the conflict minerals within our products. The Company designed its efforts in conformity with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas2 (“OECD Due Diligence Guidance”) and related Supplements.
The statements below are based on the activities performed to date in good faith by the Company and are based on the infrastructure and information available at the time of this filing. Factors that could affect the accuracy of these statements include, but are not limited to, incomplete supplier data or available smelter data, errors or omissions by suppliers or smelters, evolving identification of smelters, incomplete information from industry or other third-party sources, continuing guidance regarding the SEC final rules, and other issues.
II.Overview
Company Profile
Cricut designs and builds a creativity platform that enables our engaged and loyal community of users to turn ideas into professional-looking handmade goods. With our highly versatile connected machines, design apps and accessories and materials, our users create everything from personalized birthday cards, mugs and T-shirts to large-scale interior decorations. Our portfolio of connected machines cut, write, score, and create decorative effects for a wide range of use cases on an array of materials. On our apps, users can find inspiration, purchase or upload content like fonts and images, design a project from scratch or find a vast array of ready-to-make projects. We enable our users to be inspired, to create and share projects with the Cricut community and to follow others doing the same.
We are subject to Rule 13p-1 as we have determined that, during the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2022 (the "Reporting Period"), conflict minerals were likely necessary to the functionality or production of products we manufactured or contracted to manufacture. The Company, as a purchaser of finished goods and component parts, is many steps removed from the mining of conflict minerals. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and we conduct no purchasing activities directly in the DRC or adjoining countries.
Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry Information
We have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) to determine whether the necessary conflict minerals originated in the DRC or an adjoining country or came from recycled or scrap sources.
The Company’s RCOI process included reviewing the products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured during the Reporting Period to identify products that should be deemed in-scope as described by the Adopting Release and conducting an inquiry of our direct suppliers of the in-scope products using the Responsible Minerals Initiative’s (“RMI”) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template version 6.22 (“CMRT”). Based on
1 The term “conflict mineral” is defined in Section 1502(e)(4) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as (A) columbite-tantalite, also known as coltan (the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); gold; wolframite (the metal ore from which tungsten is extracted); or their derivatives; or (B) any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or an adjoining country.
2 OECD (2016), OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition, OECD Publishing, Paris. http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264252479-en.
the results of our RCOI which indicated sourcing from the DRC or an adjoining country, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the conflict minerals in accordance with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Our due diligence efforts are discussed further in this Conflict Minerals Report.
Due Diligence Program Design
The Company has implemented comprehensive due diligence measures, aligned to the requirements of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, as applicable for tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold and as they relate to our position in the minerals supply chain as a “downstream” company. These measures include:
1.The establishment of strong company management systems;
2.The identification and assessment of risks in the supply chain;
3.The design and implementation of a strategy to respond to identified risks;
4.Conducting independent third-party audits of applicable smelters due diligence practices; and
5.Reporting annually on supply chain due diligence.
III.Due Diligence Measures Performed by the Company
Our due diligence measures included the following activities:
1.We established an internal conflict minerals team that includes senior representation from our product design, engineering, sourcing, operations and legal departments.
2.We initiated a training program to educate our employees and suppliers on our conflict minerals program, the goals of the program, and our reporting obligations.
3.Our internal conflict minerals team conducted a detailed review of all products manufactured during the Reporting Period, identifying in scope suppliers.
4.We queried our in-scope Tier 1 suppliers using version 6.22 of the CMRT.
5.We evaluated the responses provided by our suppliers to determine our reporting obligations and, where necessary, further engaged with them to clarify their responses. A list of identified countries of origin can be found in Appendix 1.
6.Utilizing the reporting templates provided by our Tier 1 suppliers, we compiled a list of identified smelters or refiners (“SORs”) in our supply chain and matched it against the list of facilities deemed either conformant to or undergoing assessment by a responsible mineral validation program utilizing information from the RMAP Conformant Smelters & Refiners list, the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) Good Delivery List, and the Responsible Jewellery Council (the “RJC”) Chain-of-Custody Certification Program.
7.We developed a risk management plan for suppliers that present a potential conflict minerals risk and intend to request they either remove smelters who have not been audited as conformant from their supply chain or to encourage them to participate in an independent 3rd party audit program.
8.We have taken reasonable steps to verify the mine source information provided utilizing RMI resources.
9.We are an RMI member, and support responsible mineral production and sourcing globally, including but not limited to conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
IV.Product Description; Processing Facilities
Product Description
We operate and manage our business in three reportable segments: connected machines, subscriptions and accessories and materials. Certain of our connected machines and accessories and materials products are subject to Rule 13p-1 and are described below.
Connected Machines
Our connected machine portfolio currently includes Cricut Joy, the Cricut Explore family, and the Cricut Maker family. These machines cut, write, score, and create decorative effects using a wide variety of tools and materials including paper, vinyl, leather, and more. They are designed for uses ranging from quick, everyday projects like labels, decals, and greeting cards to professional-level DIY projects like personalized apparel, signage, and home décor. Our connected machines can work with over 50 different materials – from the most popular craft materials like cardstock, vinyl and iron-on to specialty materials like polished foils.
Accessories and Materials
We sell a broad range of extensions, accessories, and materials designed to work seamlessly with our connected machines. The Cricut heat press line, including the Cricut EasyPress family, Cricut Mug Press, Cricut Hat Press, and Cricut Autopress, offers carefully calibrated companions for heat-transfer vinyl projects such as personalized apparel or sublimated goods. This line of heat presses replaces traditional irons and heat transfer tools with products that deliver consistent, even, and precise control. Our line of lighting products, which includes Cricut Bright in table and floor lamp options, and the popular Cricut BrightPad and BrightPad Go, illuminate surfaces and surroundings for easier crafting and creating.
We sell a wide range of project materials including vinyl, iron-on vinyl, deluxe paper, and Infusible Ink (cuttable sublimation). Machine and hand tools also support multiple forms of creativity, from fine point blades for vinyl and cardstock, to rotary blades for fabric, to knife blades for leather and softwood. Handheld tools from scissors, to weeding tools, to glue, complete the Cricut ecosystem for a full-brand offering made for the discerning consumer. Our primary markets include the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Europe. We are also present in the Middle East, Latin America, South Africa and Asia.
Processing Facilities
Based on our due diligence process and the information received from our suppliers, the following facilities were identified by the Company’s suppliers as the smelters and refiners of the tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold present in and necessary to the functionality of products manufactured by the Company in the Reporting Period. The information from our suppliers is still evolving and may contain company-level declarations. As such, this smelter list is presented in good faith as the best information we have to date. For 2022, we identified 332 SORs in our supply chain. Of those 332, 227 SORs have been audited as conformant with the RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (the “RMAP”), another 8 smelters are undergoing the RMAP assessment, and 28 were identified as no longer in active operations. This list may contain smelters that are not in our supply chain, and/or there may be other smelters in our supply chain who we have not yet identified in our diligence process. We will continue to update the list as our information and the relevant third-party data from RMI, the LBMA and RJC improves.

V.Future Due Diligence
We will continue to communicate our expectations and information requirements to our Tier 1 suppliers. Over time, we anticipate that the amount of information available globally on the traceability and sourcing of conflict minerals will increase and improve our knowledge. We will continue to make inquiries to our Tier 1 suppliers and undertake additional risk assessments when potentially relevant changes in facts or circumstances are identified. If a supplier does not meet our expectations regarding responsible sourcing, we will work with the supplier, including by leveraging industry-wide programs as appropriate, to build its capacity for responsible sourcing. We expect our suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to help ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.
In addition to those above, the Company will undertake the following steps during the next compliance period:
•Adopt a conflict minerals policy statement.
•Review supplier and employee training materials and update as necessary.
•Continue to collect responses from suppliers using the most recent revision of the CMRT.
•If necessary, engage with suppliers that did not provide a response in 2022 or provided incomplete responses to enhance our data collection for 2023.
•Monitor and track performance of risk mitigation efforts.
•Continue to encourage our suppliers to either remove smelters that have not been audited as conformant from their supply chain or to encourage them to participate in an independent 3rd party audit program.
•Compare and validate RCOI results against information collected via independent third-party audit programs, such as the RMI, and through our Company’s own coordinated outreach to our Tier 1 suppliers.
•Continue to support responsible mineral production and sourcing globally, including but not limited to conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
•Continue to monitor global developments and the emergence of additional requirements and/or standards related to the sourcing of minerals or other materials from the DRC and adjoining countries or other regions.
•Continually improve our conflict minerals program and update our due diligence measures based on emerging risks, regulatory changes, and feedback from stakeholders.
