Solo Brands, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2025 Results
First Quarter Chubbies Segment Sales up 43.9% and Solo Stove Sales Down, as Expected, to Realign Go-to-Market Strategy; Solid Evidence of Transformation Traction in the Quarter
GRAPEVINE, Texas, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solo Brands, Inc. (NYSE: DTC; OTC: DTCB)(1) ("Solo Brands" or "the Company") a leading portfolio of lifestyle brands (Solo Stove, Chubbies, Isle and Oru) that are redefining the outdoor and apparel industries, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
John Larson, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The first quarter's performance reflected strong sales from the Chubbies segment, up 44% from a year ago, generating segment EBITDA of 26.5% of net sales. We are pleased with Chubbies' strong consumer engagement and demand. Solo Stove first quarter sales were down versus a year ago, as expected, to realign our DTC promotional strategies and collaborate with retail partners on the strategic cadence of promotions and product launches. The team's disciplined execution of cost reduction initiatives generated solid evidence of profitability improvements in both February and March compared to the prior year.
"We are highly focused on addressing our existing debt structure to deliver financial flexibility as we transform and stabilize the business this year with a focus on improving marketing effectiveness under the leadership of our new interim CMO, building pricing strategies to align channels, creating a product innovation culture and playbook, and right-sizing the cost structure, including an acceleration of tariff-related manufacturing diversification and contingency plans."
Consolidated First Quarter 2025 Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2024
-- Net sales of $77.3 million declined 9.5% from $85.3 million. The decline
was primarily within the Solo Stove segment direct-to-consumer ("DTC")
channel. The DTC channel and retail channel net sales increased in the
Chubbies segment.
-- Gross profit of $42.6 million, or 55.2% of net sales, decreased by 400
basis points compared to the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit(3)
of $42.8 million, or 55.4% of net sales, decreased 410 basis points
versus the prior year period.
-- Operating expenses decreased $3.6 million to $53.2 million, down 6.4%,
primarily driven by decreases in marketing spend and distribution costs
within the Solo Stove segment, partially offset by one-time or non-cash
restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges of $5.8
million in the current period
-- Net loss of $18.6 million, 24.0% of net sales, or $0.21 per basic and
diluted Class A common share, increased from $6.5 million, 7.6% of net
sales, or $0.06 per basic and diluted Class A common share from the prior
year period. Adjusted net loss(3) of $6.2 million, or $0.08 adjusted loss
per basic and diluted Class A common share(3), also declined from
adjusted net income(3) of $1.7 million, or $0.03 adjusted income per
basic and diluted Class A common share(3) from the prior year period.
-- Adjusted EBITDA(3) of $3.5 million, or 4.5% of net sales, compared to
$4.3 million, or 5.0% of net sales from the prior year period.
Segment First Quarter 2025 Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2024(2)
Solo Stove
-- Net sales of $26.1 million declined 49.2%, driven by declines in both
retail and DTC channel net sales, primarily due to eliminating our heavy
promotional discounting in our DTC channel to better align with retail
partners, lack of new products and reduced marketing spend, as well as
lower replenishment from our strategic retail partners.
-- Segment EBITDA of $(1.5) million, or (5.7)% of net sales, declined from
$7.6 million, or 14.9% of net sales, in the prior year period.
Chubbies
-- Net sales of $42.7 million increased 43.9%, driven primarily by retail
channel net sales from continued growth in the strategic retail network
and an increase in DTC channel net sales.
-- Segment EBITDA of $11.3 million, or 26.5% of net sales, improved from
$4.9 million, or 16.6% of net sales, in the prior year period.
Consolidated Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents were $206.4 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to $12.0 million at December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the net drawdowns of $277.3 million on the Revolving Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2025.
Inventory was $103.1 million as of March 31, 2025 compared to $108.6 million at December 31, 2024.
Outstanding borrowings were $346.3 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $82.5 million under the Term Loan as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, outstanding borrowings were reclassified from non-current to current, as it is likely that the Company will be required to report non-compliance with the interest rate coverage ratio and total net leverage ratio financial covenants under the credit agreement governing our Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility. As previously disclosed, there is substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern. For additional information, see our corresponding first quarter 2025 Form 10-Q filed today, May 12, 2025.
(1) Effective April 22, 2025, our Class A common stock has been suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Our Class A common stock is currently being quoted on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol "DTCB". Pursuant to our right to a review of the staff of NYSE Regulation's determination to delist our Class A common stock by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE, on May 6, 2025, we sent a notice to the NYSE appealing the determination of the staff of NYSE Regulation to commence proceedings to delist our Class A common stock from the NYSE. During the appeal period, our Class A common stock remains listed on the NYSE, though trading in the Class A common stock is suspended.
(2) During the fourth quarter of 2024, we changed the presentation of our reportable segments, with Solo Stove and Chubbies being presented as our reportable segments. Prior periods are presented on this new basis for comparability purposes.
(3) 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.

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 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 developmental 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 as net income (loss) excluding impairment charges and the 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, 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, 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, impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, and the 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, less 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 enhance consistency and comparability with results in prior periods that do not include such items and to provide a basis for evaluating operating results in future periods.
-- 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 used in the manufacturing process that is recognized
within cost of goods sold.
-- Restructuring, contract termination, impairment and related charges -
Represents charges related to cost saving initiatives, such as the
reduction in force and closure of distribution centers, as well as costs
related to the engagement of strategic consulting firms for operational
planning, additional cost saving initiative identification and internal
management reporting optimization.
-- Business optimization and expansion expenses - Represents select
consulting engagements in 2024 for strategic planning and product roadmap
development, select consulting engagements in 2025 to assist with
operational planning and activities to support the potential refinancing
or restructuring of our outstanding debt, as well as software
implementation fees in 2024 and 2025 related to the optimization and
enhancement of our information technology infrastructure.
-- 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 vestings
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.
-- 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 2023 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.
-- Transaction costs - Represents transaction costs primarily related to
professional service fees incurred in connection with the secondary
offering, Form S-3 registration statement filed in 2023 and acquisition
activities, including financial diligence and legal fees.
-- Inventory fair value write-ups - Represents the recognition of fair
market value write-ups of inventory accounted for under ASC 805 related
to the 2023 acquisitions.
-- 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.
