GRAPEVINE, Texas, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solo Brands, Inc. (OTCQB:SBDS) ("Solo Brands" or "the Company"), a premium outdoor lifestyle company that develops and markets branded products across its Solo Stove, Chubbies, and Watersports segments, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

John Larson, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "April and May started the quarter on a strong note, though direct-to-consumer demand softened in June as consumers remained selective in their discretionary spending. While we would like sales to be higher, our second-quarter results improved meaningfully from the first quarter, highlighted by narrowing the net loss to $4.4 million, positive adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 million, or 15.3% of revenue, strong operating cash flow generation, and debt reduction, including the full repayment of our revolver facility. These results reflect the progress we are making to build a leaner, more disciplined company focused on profitability, cash generation, and returns on investment.

"Our second quarter international sales increased year-over-year, and we also advanced our international strategy through new distribution agreements across Europe, the U.K., and parts of APAC, extending the reach of our brands and supporting long-term growth. In addition, we strengthened our leadership team across sales and digital, enhancing focus and execution across our portfolio. Our priorities remain clear: improve demand at Solo Stove and Chubbies, maintain disciplined expense and working capital management, and invest behind the products, markets, and channels that offer the most attractive returns. While there is still work ahead, we are making measurable progress and believe we are positioning Solo Brands for sustainable, profitable growth," Larson concluded.

Consolidated Second Quarter 2026 Highlights Compared to Second Quarter 2025

Net sales of $88.5 million decreased 4.1% from $92.3 million, primarily the result of the decline in direct-to-consumer ("DTC") net sales within the Solo Stove and Chubbies segments, partially offset by an increase in retail channel sales within our Watersports segment and international sales.
Gross profit of $53.0 million, or 59.9% of net sales, compared to $56.6 million, or 61.3% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit⁽¹⁾of $54.7 million, or 61.8% of net sales, compared to $56.9 million, or 61.7% of net sales. Gross profit was impacted by lower net sales, changes in channel and product mix, and a raw material inventory write-off related to the closure of Oru’s manufacturing facility, partially offset by prior period tariff refunds received during the current period.
Operating expenses of $49.5 million decreased 25.5% from $66.4 million.
- Selling, general & administrative expenses of $42.6 million decreased 10.6% from $47.7 million, primarily due to lower employee compensation, reflective of our disciplined, efficiency-driven spend management and ongoing payroll reduction efforts, as well as lower seller fees and shipping costs resulting from lower DTC sales volume.
- Restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges were $1.9 million compared to $10.3 million.
Net loss attributable to Solo Brands, Inc. of $4.4 million, or $1.72 diluted loss per share of Class A common stock⁽²⁾, compared to $13.5 million, or $8.93 diluted loss per share of Class A common stock⁽²⁾.
Adjusted net income attributable to Solo Brands, Inc.⁽¹⁾ of $3.9 million, or $1.52 adjusted diluted income per share of Class A common stock⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾, compared to $0.0 million, or $0.02 adjusted diluted income per share of Class A common stock⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾of $13.5 million, or 15.3% of net sales, compared to $10.5 million, or 11.4% of net sales.

Segment Second Quarter 2026 Highlights Compared to Second Quarter 2025

Solo Stove

Net sales of $32.7 million decreased 14.7%, reflecting lower unit volumes driven by the Company’s continued focus on pricing and promotional discipline within the DTC channel, as well as softness in the retail channel as we rebuild our retail partnerships.
Segment adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million, or 11.2% of net sales, compared to $3.4 million, or 8.9% of net sales, reflecting the benefit of ongoing cost reduction initiatives, specifically employee compensation and marketing, amid lower net sales and, to a lesser extent, prior period tariff refunds received during the current period.

Chubbies

Net sales of $40.6 million decreased 8.6%, reflecting lower DTC channel sales, partially offset by higher retail channel sales.
Segment adjusted EBITDA of $12.8 million, or 31.4% of net sales, compared to $11.5 million, or 25.8% of net sales, reflecting the benefit of cost reduction initiatives for employee compensation and prior period tariff refunds received during the current period.

Watersports

Net sales of $15.1 million increased 59.2%, reflecting an expanded partnership with a key customer within the retail channel, partially offset by variability in customer demand within the DTC channel.
Segment adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 million, or 19.0% of net sales, compared to $1.8 million, or 19.1% of net sales, reflecting the higher net sales during the period and the benefit of cost reduction initiatives.

Consolidated Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Highlights Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Net sales of $151.3 million decreased 10.7% from $169.5 million, primarily the result of the decline in both DTC and retail channel net sales within the Solo Stove segment, and, to a lesser extent, declines in both channels within the Chubbies segment, partially offset by an increase in retail channel sales within our Watersports segment.
Gross profit of $85.9 million, or 56.8% of net sales, compared to $99.2 million, or 58.5% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit⁽¹⁾of $87.8 million, or 58.0% of net sales, compared to $99.7 million, or 58.8% of net sales.

Operating expenses of $87.1 million decreased 27.2% from $119.7 million.
- Selling, general & administrative expenses of $75.8 million decreased 12.5% from $86.7 million, primarily based on lower employee-based compensation company-wide and lower marketing costs within the Solo Stove segment, both reflective of our disciplined, efficiency-driven spend management and ongoing payroll reduction efforts, as well as lower seller fees and shipping costs resulting from lower DTC net sales.
- Restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges were $2.2 million compared to $16.1 million.
Net loss attributable to Solo Brands, Inc. of $9.9 million, or $3.89 diluted loss per share of Class A common stock⁽²⁾, compared to $25.7 million, or $17.06 diluted loss per share of Class A common stock⁽²⁾.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾of $15.1 million, or 10.0% of net sales, compared to $14.0 million, or 8.3% of net sales.

Segment Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Highlights Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

Solo Stove

Net sales of $48.7 million decreased 24.4%, reflecting lower unit volumes driven by the Company’s continued focus on pricing and promotional discipline within the DTC channel, as well as softness in the retail channel as we rebuild our retail partnerships.
Segment adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million, or 4.0% of net sales, compared to $1.9 million, or 3.0% of net sales, reflecting the benefit of ongoing cost reduction initiatives, specifically employee compensation and marketing, amid lower net sales and, to a lesser extent, prior period tariff refunds received during the current period.

Chubbies

Net sales of $77.3 million decreased 11.3%, reflecting primarily lower DTC channel sales.
Segment adjusted EBITDA of $20.1 million, or 26.0% of net sales, compared to $22.8 million, or 26.1% of net sales, reflecting lower net sales, partially offset by the benefit of prior period tariff refunds received during the current period.

Watersports

Net sales of $25.3 million increased 45.7%, reflecting an expanded partnership with a key customer within the retail channel, partially offset by variability in customer demand within the DTC channel.
Segment adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million, or 19.2% of net sales, compared to $2.4 million, or 13.6% of net sales, reflecting the higher net sales during the period and the benefit of cost reduction initiatives.

Consolidated Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents were $35.4 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to $20.0 million as of December 31, 2025.

Inventory was $59.6 million as of June 30, 2026, a decline from $81.6 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting continued optimization of our supply chain to meet DTC and retail channel demand as well as tariff refunds received that were recognized as a reduction of inventory.

Outstanding borrowings⁽³⁾ were $258.3 million, including interest paid-in-kind, under the 2025 Term Loan (as defined herein) as of June 30, 2026, and no outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, availability for future draws under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility, based on the borrowing base as of such date, was $57.2 million, net of issued letters of credit.

Full Year 2026 Outlook⁽⁴⁾

We are reaffirming our 2026 financial guidance as follows:

Net sales are expected to be between $280 million and $310 million for 2026.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾⁽⁵⁾ is expected to be between $24 million and $30 million for 2026.

Full year 2026 guidance assumes:

- Continued uneven demand environment.
- Estimated ongoing tariff impacts considering recent judicial decisions.
- Positive impact from existing and incremental payroll reductions and restructuring discussed on the March 19 and May 14, 2026, earnings conference calls.

⁽¹⁾ This press release includes references to non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" later in this press release for the definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures presented and a reconciliation of these measures to their closest comparable GAAP measures.

⁽²⁾ Effective January 1, 2026, the Company completed a series of transactions which, among other things, resulted in all outstanding Class B common stock being cancelled and exchanged for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (the "Corporate Simplification"). See our 2026 Q1 Form 10-Q for additional details regarding the Corporate Simplification.

⁽³⁾On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the "2025 Credit Agreement") to its existing credit agreement. The 2025 Credit Agreement consists of (i) a term loan with an aggregate principal amount of $240.0 million ("2025 Term Loan") and (ii) a revolving credit facility with an initial committed amount of $90.0 million ("2025 Revolving Credit Facility"). The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility includes (i) a sub-limit of $10.0 million for swing line loans and (ii) a separate sub-limit of $20.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. See our 2025 Form 10-K for additional details regarding the 2025 Credit Agreement.

⁽⁴⁾ The Company’s full year 2026 guidance is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.

⁽⁵⁾ The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) within this press release because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. These items include, but are not limited to, equity-based compensation with respect to future grants and forfeitures, which could materially affect the computation of forward-looking GAAP net income, and are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"); however, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods. We use adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income (loss) per Class A common stock, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as non-GAAP financial measures, because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as measures of our operating performance and believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to our investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. Our management also uses these non-GAAP measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections.

None of these non-GAAP measures is a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of our liquidity or operating performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are not indicative of net income (loss) as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, the exclusion of certain gains or losses in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual or infrequent as they may recur in the future, nor should it be construed that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using these measures to evaluate our liquidity or financial performance. Some of these limitations are as follows.

These non-GAAP measures exclude certain tax payments that may require a reduction in cash available to us; do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures (including capitalized software development costs) or contractual commitments; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; exclude certain purchase accounting adjustments related to acquisitions; and exclude equity-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

In addition, other companies may define and calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than us, thereby limiting the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as a comparative tool. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other U.S. GAAP-based financial performance measures.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

We calculate adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges and other costs that are believed by management to be non-operating in nature and not representative of the Company’s core operating performance, as listed below under "Non-GAAP Adjustments". Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is calculated as income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted in the same manner as adjusted net income (loss), adjusted for the allocable attribution to the noncontrolling interest.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Class A Common Stock

We calculate adjusted net income (loss) per Class A common stock as adjusted net income (loss), as defined above, less the allocable portion of net income to the noncontrolling interest, divided by weighted average diluted shares or weighted average shares of Class A common stock, respectively, as calculated under U.S. GAAP.

EBITDA

We calculate EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, and other costs that are believed by management to be non-operating in nature and not representative of the Company’s core operating performance, as listed below under "Non-GAAP Adjustments".

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We calculate adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA, divided by net sales.

Adjusted Gross Profit

We calculate adjusted gross profit as gross profit, plus inventory charges associated with restructuring and consolidation activities, inventory fair value write-ups and tooling depreciation.

Adjusted Gross Profit Margin

We calculate adjusted gross profit margin as adjusted gross profit, divided by net sales.

Non-GAAP Adjustments

In addition to the costs specifically noted under the non-GAAP metrics above, the Company believes that evaluation of its financial performance can be enhanced by a supplemental presentation of results that exclude costs believed by management to be non-operating in nature and not representative of the Company’s core operating performance. These costs are excluded in order to provide a basis for evaluating operating results in future periods.

Inventory charges associated with restructuring and consolidation activities - represents the inventory writedown of raw materials related to the closure of the Oru manufacturing facility, which was the Company’s only remaining manufacturing operation.
Restructuring, contract termination, impairment and related charges - for 2026, represents charges related to cost saving initiatives, such as reduction in force, closure of a distribution center, retention payments to key personnel, closure and impairment of a manufacturing facility, as well as costs related to the engagement of strategic consulting firms for operational planning, and additional cost saving initiative identification. For 2025, represents charges related to impairment of long lived assets, cost saving initiatives, such as the reduction in force, closure of distribution centers, owned retail store lease terminations, impairments and modifications, termination of underperforming licensing arrangements and other contracts, retention payments to key personnel, as well as costs related to the engagement of strategic consulting firms for operational planning, legal entity reorganizations, additional cost saving initiative identification and internal management reporting optimization.
Amortization expense - represents the non-cash amortization of the following:

- intangible assets related to the reorganization transactions in 2020 and the 2021 and 2023 acquisitions and additions to patents in regard to their defense;
- website development costs; and
- capitalized software.
Depreciation expense - represents the non-cash depreciation of the following:
- property and equipment; and
- tooling depreciation - tooling used in the manufacturing process that is recognized within cost of goods sold.
Business optimization and expansion expenses - represents costs related to the engagement of strategic consulting firms for business optimization and expansion planning, and the transaction with the former sellers of TerraFlame in 2025.
Costs associated with the refinancing amendment - represents costs related to the engagement of strategic consulting firms in conjunction with the 2025 debt refinancing.
Equity-based compensation expense - represents the non-cash expense related to the incentive units, restricted stock units, options, performance stock units, special performance stock units, executive performance stock units and employee stock purchases, with vesting occurring over time and settled with the Company’s Class A common stock. Forfeitures are recognized in the period incurred and reflected as a reduction of the non-cash expense previously recognized for awards not yet vested.
Transaction costs - represents costs for professional service fees incurred in connection with potential and completed registered securities offerings, merger, acquisition and/or divestiture activities, and tariff refund specialists.
Changes in fair value of contingent earn-out liability - represents the charge to mark the contingent earn-out consideration to fair value in connection with the prior period acquisitions.
Management transition costs - represents costs primarily related to executive transition costs for executive search fees and related costs for the transition of certain members of management, such as severance costs.
Tax impact of adjusting items - represents the tax impact of the respective adjustments for each non-GAAP financial measure calculated at an expected statutory rate of 21.0%, adjusted to reflect the allocation to the controlling interest.
Reversal of valuation allowance - represents the removal of the valuation allowance recorded within the period, as determined through revision of the current period tax provision to reflect the Non-GAAP Adjustments to income (loss) before income taxes.
