Current report
Our revenue increased by 3.7% and decreased by 1.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and was $122.1 million and
Current report
There is significant uncertainty regarding how macroeconomic conditions, including sustained high levels of inflation and higher interest rates, will impact consumer demand for durable goods. While some of these conditions have negatively impacted consumer discretionary spending behavior, we continue to see demand for our products. We have, however, seen instances of consumer sensitivity to higher price points. Therefore, we have utilized promotional activity and strategic pricing action on select grills, which has primarily attributed to unit volume growth in excess of 80%, partially offset by high-double digit reduction in average selling price due to mix shift to lower priced grills, strategic pricing action on select grills, and higher mix of direct import sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior year period. As a result, revenue from our grills increased by $7.3 million to $246.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior year period.
Current report
Revenue from our grills increased by $18.4 million, or 32.5%, to $74.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $56.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by unit volume growth in excess of 80% partially offset by reduction in average selling price in excess of 20%. Higher unit volume was driven by effective promotional activity and strategic pricing action on select grills. The decrease in average selling price was primarily due to mix shift to lower priced grills, higher mix of direct import sales, and strategic pricing action on select grills.
Current report
Sales and marketing expense increased by $0.2 million, or 1.0%, to $26.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense decreased to 21.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 22.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Current report
General and administrative expense decreased by $0.7 million, or 2.8%, to $24.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $24.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 19.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 21.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Current report
Revenue decreased by $7.0 million, or 1.6%, to $435.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $442.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by lower sales from our accessories and consumables, partially offset by higher grill sales.
Current report
Revenue from our consumables decreased by $1.7 million, or 1.9%, to $88.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $90.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by low-single digit reduction in wood pellet unit volume.

Previous report
We believe challenging macroeconomic pressures and uncertainties have resulted in decreased discretionary consumer spending, particularly for durable goods, and therefore contributed to a decline in our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. For example, we experienced a mid-single digit percentage decline in demand for grills, as measured by unit volume, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. We expect these macroeconomic trends, and a shift in consumer demand away from big-ticket, home related products such as grills, and towards experiences, services, and leisure, to continue throughout fiscal year end 2024, which could result in continued pressure on our revenue and results of operations.
Previous report
We experienced a mid-double digit increase in our inbound freight container rates primarily due to global transportation factors for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year period. If supply chain challenges persist, we anticipate increases in our cost of revenues which could impact our future operating results.
Previous report
Sales and marketing expense increased by $0.3 million, or 1.1%, to $28.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $27.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense increased to 16.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 16.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in sales and marketing expense was driven by increased investment in brand awareness and increased employee related costs partially offset by reduced professional fees.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Previous report
Revenue decreased by $11.3 million, or 3.5%, to $313.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $324.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by lower sales from our grills and accessories, partially offset by higher consumables sales.
Previous report
Revenue from our grills decreased by $11.1 million, or 6.1%, to $171.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $182.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by low-double digit reduction in average selling price, partially offset by high-single digit increase in volume.
Previous report
Revenue from our consumables increased by $1.1 million, or 1.8%, to $66.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $64.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in excess of 20% in unit volume of food consumables and low-single digit increase in wood pellet volume, partially offset by low-double digit reduction in average selling price of food consumables.

Previous wording
In response to these macroeconomic conditions, we have taken actions to identify and execute on cost savings initiatives, while simultaneously seeking to maintain product quality and reliability across the supply chain. For example, we took actions to reduce overhead expenses, execute long-term transportation contracts, enact freight surcharges, and implement operational efficiencies across our pellet mill operations. As a result of these actions, we expect cost savings to improve operating results in the long-term, but given the uncertainty of the current macroeconomic environment, there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of our continuing efforts to help mitigate the effects of these conditions on our business.
Current wording
In response to these macroeconomic conditions, we have taken actions to identify and execute on cost savings initiatives, while simultaneously seeking to maintain product quality and reliability across the supply chain. For example, we have partnered with certain retailers in a direct import program, executed long-term transportation contracts, and implemented operational efficiencies across our pellet mill operations. As a result, we have experienced an increase in gross margin to 42.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 36.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We expect continued cost savings to improve operating results in the long-term, but given the uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment in the near-term, there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of our continuing efforts to help mitigate the effects of these conditions on our business. We will continue to monitor and, if necessary, take additional action to mitigate the effects of the macroeconomic environment on our business.
Previous wording
Although we experience demand for our products throughout the year, we believe there can be certain seasonal fluctuations in our revenue. We have typically experienced moderately higher levels of sales of our grills in the first and second quarters of the year as our retailers purchase inventory in advance of warmer weather, when demand for outdoor cooking products is the highest across our key markets. Higher sales also coincide with social events and national holidays, which occur during the same warm weather timeframe. Additionally, we have experienced higher sales volume of our accessories during the fourth quarter of the year, due in part to seasonal holiday demand.

Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of amortization of identified finite-lived customer relationships, distributor relationships, non-compete arrangements and trademark assets that were allocated a considerable portion of the purchase price from the corporate reorganization and acquisition of our Company in 2017, as well as the July 2021 acquisition of Apption Labs Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Apption Labs”) pursuant to a share purchase agreement. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 2.5 to 25 year useful lives and, as a result, amortization expense on these assets is expected to remain stable over the coming years. Future business acquisitions may result in incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired in any such transactions.

The fair values of our contingent consideration earn out obligation associated with the Apption Labs business combination is estimated based on probability adjusted present values of the consideration expected to be transferred using significant inputs. At each reporting date, we revalue the contingent consideration obligation to its fair value and records increases and decreases in fair value in the general and administrative expenses in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation results from changes in discount periods and rates, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving certain performance targets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there was no change in fair value of contingent consideration and in April 2024, the Company paid the remaining $15.0 million of contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain earnings and product launch thresholds for fiscal year 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18.0 million, $125.0 million borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and $31.9 million borrowing capacity under our Receivables Financing Agreement (as defined below). As of June 30, 2024, we had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and had drawn down $23.5 million on the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the total principal amount outstanding under our First Lien Term Loan Facility was $403.7 million. Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we continue to believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Financing Agreement, and our anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth and profitability, the timing and size of future acquisitions, and the timing of introductions of new products and investments in our supply chain and implementation of technologies.

As of September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and had drawn down $12.0 million on the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the total principal amount outstanding under our First Lien Term Loan Facility was $403.6 million. Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Financing Agreement, and our anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth and profitability, the timing and size of future acquisitions, and the timing of introductions of new products and investments in our supply chain and implementation of technologies.
Previous wording
Cash flows related to operating activities are dependent on net loss, non-cash adjustments to net loss, and changes in working capital. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to an increase in net cash used for working capital, partially offset by a decrease in net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in cash used for working capital was primarily due to a decrease in the change in accounts receivable in the current period, primarily driven by the collections of large trade receivable balances in the prior year period that were outstanding at the beginning of the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease in the change in inventory balances in the current period as a result of strategic inventory management in the prior year period to reduce the high inventory levels at the beginning of the prior year period.

On November 8, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Receivables Financing Agreement in order to extend the expiration of the facility by one year to June 27, 2025. As part of the amendment, the maximum borrowing capacity was decreased from $100.0 million to $75.0 million and a mechanism was added to allow for seasonal adjustments to the maximum borrowing capacity, which can now be set between $30.0 million and $75.0 million. A seasonal adjustment schedule was established upon the effectiveness of Amendment No. 9, and further adjustments can be made up two times annually at our discretion (with consent of the lenders under the Receivables Financing Agreement). We are required to pay fixed interest on outstanding cash advances of 2.5%, a floating interest based on the CP Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR (each as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement), and an unused capacity charge that ranges from 0.25% to 0.5%. Amendment No. 9 also implemented a new liquidity threshold at $42.5 million of liquidity. If our liquidity falls below this threshold, it may result in an increase in the required level of reserves, which would result in a reduction of our borrowing base under the Receivables Financing Agreement during such a liquidity shortfall.

General and administrative expense decreased by $21.9 million, or 41.8%, to $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $52.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 30.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expense was driven by lower stock-based compensation expense of $25.9 million primarily due to the cancellation of the unearned CEO PSUs and IPO PSUs in the comparable prior year period. The decreases were partially offset by higher costs related to legal matters.
