Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP"), this press release includes net debt-to-net book capitalization and adjusted net income.

Net debt-to-net book capitalization

Net debt-to-net book capitalization is a supplemental measure of our leverage that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to debt-to-book capitalization or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of net debt-to-net book capitalization may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by our competitors because not all companies and analysts calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner. We present this non-GAAP financial measure because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our leverage and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

We define net debt-to-net book capitalization as:

Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by
Total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, plus equity.

This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool in that it subtracts cash and cash equivalents and therefore may imply that the Company has less debt than the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of this limitation, this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered along with other financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the following table:

As of (in thousands, except percentages)	June 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Notes payable	$	66,026	$	44,075
Equity		432,956		444,136
Total capitalization	$	498,982	$	488,211
Debt-to-book capitalization		13.2%		9.0%
Notes payable	$	66,026	$	44,075
Less: cash and cash equivalents		14,200		12,741
Net debt		51,826		31,334
Equity		432,956		444,136
Total net capitalization	$	484,782	$	475,470
Net debt-to-net book capitalization		10.7%		6.6%

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income is not a measure of net income or net income margin as determined by GAAP. Adjusted net income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies. We define adjusted net income as net income adjusted for the tax impact using an applicable federal and state blended tax rate (assuming 100% public ownership to adjust for the impact of taxes on earnings attributable to Smith Douglas Holdings LLC as if Smith Douglas Holdings LLC was a subchapter C corporation in the periods presented).

Management believes adjusted net income is useful because it allows management to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and comparability to industry peers who record income tax expense on their income before tax as opposed to the income of Smith Douglas Holdings LLC not being taxed at the entity level and, therefore, not reflecting a charge against earnings for income tax expense. Adjusted net income should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or any other measure as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of adjusted net income may not be comparable to adjusted net income of other companies. We present adjusted net income because we believe it provides useful information regarding our comparability to peers.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted net income to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2026		2025		2026		2025

Income before income taxes		1,868		17,179		6,183		36,746
Tax-effected adjustments⁽¹⁾		502		4,278		1,662		9,150
Adjusted net income	$	1,366	$	12,901	$	4,521	$	27,596

(1)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our tax expenses assume a 26.9% and 24.9% federal and state blended tax rate, respectively, (assuming 100% public ownership to adjust for the impact of taxes on earnings attributable to Smith Douglas Holdings LLC as if Smith Douglas Holdings LLC was a subchapter C corporation in the periods presented).
