Solo Brands Inc

NOTE 1 –Organization and Description of Business

Description of Business

Solo Brands, Inc. (“Company” or “Solo Brands”), through a majority-owned subsidiary, Solo Stove Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), operates five premium brands - Solo Stove, Oru Kayak, Inc. (“Oru”), International Surf Ventures, Inc. (“ISLE”), Chubbies, Inc. (“Chubbies”), and Sconberg, LLC (“TerraFlame”). Solo Stove offers portable, low-smoke fire pits, grills, and camping stoves for backyard and outdoor use in different sizes, fire pit bundles, gear kits, stoves, cookware, dinnerware, and a variety of clothing and accessories. Oru offers a flagship line of lightweight, foldable kayaks. ISLE produces high-quality stand-up paddle boards with colorful designs that are engineered to accommodate every skill level, style, and interest.

TerraFlame provides customers the ability to bring the fire inside with an indoor fire pit. Solo Brands distributes its products through individual brand websites and other partners across North America, Europe and Australia.

Organization

While operating as a limited liability company from 2011 to 2019, Solo Brands, LLC hadtwo owners, or the Founders, which together owned 100% of the outstanding membership interest. Pursuant to the membership interest purchase agreement (“the 2019 Agreement”) dated September 24, 2019, SS Acquisitions, Inc. (which was majority-owned by Bertram Capital) acquired 66.74% of the total Class A-1 and Class A-2 units of Solo Brands, LLC from the Founders. The remaining interests were retained by the Founders and other employees who acquired interest as part of the 2019 Agreement.

Holdings was formed as a single-member limited liability company in the state of Delaware on October 6, 2020. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to the securities purchase agreement (the “2020 Agreement”) dated October 9, 2020, Holdings acquired 100% percent of the outstanding units of Solo Brands, LLC (previously Frontline Advance, LLC dba Solo Stove).

For all periods, the operations of the Company are conducted through Solo Brands, LLC. As a result of the 2020 Agreement, Solo Brands, LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. In exchange, Holdings issued Class A and B units, through which Summit Partners Growth Equity Funds, Summit Partners Subordinated Debt Funds, and Summit Investors X Funds (collectively, the “Summit Partners”) acquired an effective 58.82% percent of Holdings. The remaining units were retained by the Founders, SS Acquisitions, Inc., and other employees (collectively, the “Continuing LLC Owners”).

Solo Brands, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on June 23, 2021 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering and other related transactions in order to carry on the Company’s business. On October 28, 2021, Solo Brands, Inc. completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 14,838,708 shares of Class A common stock.

In connection with the IPO, the organizational structure was converted to an umbrella partnership-C-Corporation with Solo Brands, Inc. having a controlling equity interest in Holdings. The Reorganization Transactions were accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. As the sole managing member, Solo Brands, Inc. operates and controls all of the business and affairs and, through Holdings and its subsidiaries, conducts the business. Solo Brands, Inc. consolidates Holdings in its consolidated financial statements and reports a non-controlling interest related to the common units held by the Continuing LLC Owners on its audited consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include those of our wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and the entity consolidated under the variable interest entity model. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been conformed to the current period’s presentation.

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.

The Company incurred a net loss of $113.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 and had an accumulated deficit of $228.8 million. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12.0 million and total debt outstanding of $150.7 million as of December 31, 2024. In addition, subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company drew an additional $277.3 million under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein), which matures on May 12, 2026. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the financial and operational covenants under the credit agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility, however, due to uncertainty in our business and our expected levels of indebtedness, without the application of successful mitigating strategies, we expect to experience difficulty remaining in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants. Failure to satisfy either the interest coverage ratio or total net leverage ratio (each described below) is an event of default under the credit agreement. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the credit facility immediately due and payable and exercise other remedies as set forth in the credit agreement.

The Company is evaluating strategies to refinance its existing debt. These strategies could include restructuring our debt, issuing new debt or entering into other financing arrangements. In addition, the Company’s plans are focused on improving its results and liquidity through a variety of operational improvements throughout 2025, including a reduction of force and closures of select distribution centers. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance or restructure its debt or that it will be able to execute any operational improvements. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or generate additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all. While the Company believes its plans to refinance the Revolving Credit Facility and execute operational improvements can alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt, these plans are not entirely within our control and cannot be assessed as being probable of occurring.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reporting expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 –Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For our consolidated non-wholly owned subsidiaries, a noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of income and equity that is not attributable to the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be made with certainty. Estimates may change as new events occur when additional information becomes available and if our operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company extends trade credit to its retail customers on terms that generally are practiced in the industry. The Company periodically performs credit analyses and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. Accounts receivable mostly consist of amounts due from our business-to-business customers.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Dick’s Sporting Goods accounted for 32.6% and 24.2% of the Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable, respectively. There are no other significant concentrations of receivables that represent a significant credit risk.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total net sales.

The Company is exposed to risk due to the concentration of business activity with certain third-party manufacturers of our products. The Company, through the use of these certain third-party manufacturers, manufactures a variety of merchandise in China, including camp stoves, fire pits, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. The majority of the casual wear, sportwear, swimwear, outerwear, loungewear, and other accessories are currently made in Vietnam between a variety of manufacturers. Additional manufacturing is done in India, China, Mexico, and the United States.

Segment Information

The Company’s CEO, as the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), organizes the Company, manages resource allocations, and measures performance on the basis oftwo reportable segments, each of which represents significant product lines. This is supported by the operational structure of the Company, which includes marketing, distribution, information technology, accounting and finance, human resources, payroll and legal functions primarily focused on these two individual product categories.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities to be reported at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and other inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability.

In instances whereby inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of bank deposits and overnight sweep accounts. The Company continually monitors its position with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. The Company has maintained bank balances in excess of federally insured limits. We have not historically experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net consist of amounts due to the Company from retailers and direct-to-corporate customers, as well as receivables from the credit card and payment application services used by the Company. Accounts receivable, net are recorded at invoiced amounts, less contractual allowances for trade terms, sales incentive programs, and discounts. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses, which is determined based on a review of specific customer accounts where the collection is doubtful, as well as an assessment of the collectability of receivable of customer groups that share similar risk characteristics. This assessment is based on historical and anticipated trends, existing and forecasted economic conditions and other factors. All accounts are subject to an ongoing review of ultimate collectability. Receivables are written off against the allowance when it is certain the amounts will not be recovered.

Bad debt expense is recorded to selling, general, & administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Inventory

Inventories, consisting primarily of finished goods are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using an average costing method, calculated using the weighted average method. Our inventory balances include all costs incurred to deliver inventory to our distribution facilities, such as inbound freight, import duties and tariffs. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company makes ongoing estimates relating to the net realizable value of inventories based upon assumptions about future demand, market conditions and product obsolescence. Obsolete or slow-moving inventory is written down to estimated net realizable value. Acquired inventory is recorded at fair value using a mix of cost, comparative sales and market approaches.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment acquired through acquisitions (as described in Note 5, Acquisitions) are recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date using a mix of cost, comparative sales and market approaches. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are sold or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is written off, and a gain or loss, if applicable, is recorded. The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives for property and equipment are as follows:

Software Costs

We capitalize certain computer software and software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that the software will be used as intended. Capitalized software costs include external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining computer software, compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the software projects and interest costs incurred while developing internal-use computer software. Capitalized software costs are included in other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software, which approximate 3 to 10 years.

Software amortization is recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and was $0.2 million andnominal for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net capitalized software and development costs were $5.4 million as of December 31, 2024 which are recorded to other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is determined based upon the excess enterprise value over the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities assumed and is recorded at its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company reviews goodwill at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment, for impairment annually on October 1 st of each fiscal year and on an interim basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of such assets may be below their carrying value.

Intangible Assets, net

Intangible assets are comprised of brands, trademarks, developed technology, customer relationships, patents and proprietary software and are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Acquired definite-lived intangible assets are valued using an excess earnings method for customer related intangibles and a relief from royalty method for tradenames and patents. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

In addition, external legal costs incurred in the defense of our trademarks and patents are capitalized when we believe that the future economic benefit of the intangible asset will be increased, and a successful defense is probable. In the event of a successful defense, the settlements received are netted against the external legal costs that were capitalized. Capitalized trademark and patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset. Where the defense of the trademark or patent maintains rather than increases the expected future economic benefits from the asset, the costs would generally be expensed as incurred. The external legal costs incurred and settlements received may not occur in the same period.

The useful lives for intangible assets subject to amortization are as follows:

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred by the Company in connection with obtaining debt are recorded on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt and reported as a component of interest expense, net.

Leases

The Company leases space for warehouses, stores and corporate space under operating leases expiring at various times through 2035. The Company also leases warehouse picking robots under financing leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract if the terms state the Company has the right to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the economic benefits from, a specific asset identified in the contract.

The right-of-use asset (“ROU’) assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The Company records its operating ROU assets in operating lease right-of-use assets, its current operating lease liabilities in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and its non-current operating lease liabilities in operating lease liabilities. The Company records its finance ROU assets in other non-current assets, its current finance lease liabilities in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and its non-current finance lease liabilities in other non-current liabilities.

Operating lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis and included within selling, general and administrative expense, along with the lease expense for the lease liability. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included in depreciation and amortization expenses, while interest expense on the finance lease liability is included in interest expense, net.

Certain of the Company's lease agreements contain options to extend the lease. The Company evaluates these options on a lease-by-lease basis, and if the Company determines it is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term includes the extension. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments, and lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments. The Company does not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”).

Certain of the Company's lease agreements include payments for certain variable costs not determinable upon lease commencement, as well as fixed payments for non-lease components, including common area maintenance. These variable and fixed lease payments are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses, but are not included in the ROU asset or lease liability balances. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. While the Company intends to prosecute and defend any lawsuit vigorously, the Company presently believes that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending legal proceeding will not have any material adverse effect on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages, which could impact the Company’s business and the results of operations for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods. The Company records the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, the Company does not accrue for estimated legal fees and other directly related costs because they are expensed as incurred. Therefore, the consolidated balance sheets do not include a liability for any potential obligations as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual and other interests in entities to determine if it has a variable interest in an entity and if it is the primary beneficiary. These evaluations are complex and involve judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions based on available historical and prospective information, among other factors. If the Company determines that entities for which the Company holds a contractual or ownership interest in are variable interest entities ("VIE") and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates such entities in the consolidated financial statements. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. In the event of significant changes in the interest or relationship with the VIE, the Company reconsiders the determination of the primary beneficiary. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE in accordance with applicable GAAP.

Revenue Recognition

The Company primarily engages in direct-to-consumer transactions, which are comprised of product sales directly from the Company’s website, and business-to-business transactions, or retail, which are comprised of product sales to retailers, including where possession of the Company’s products is taken and sold by the retailer in-store or online. These revenue transactions comprise a single performance obligation satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the customers, based on the terms of sale.

For the Company’s direct-to-consumer and retail transactions, performance obligations are typically satisfied at the point of shipment. The transfer of control occurs at a point in time based on consideration of when the customer has an obligation to pay for the goods, legal title to, and risk and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

Payment is due at the time of sale on our website for our direct-to-consumer transactions. Business-to-business customers’ payment terms vary depending on creditworthiness and the contract terms with each retailer, but the most common is net 30 or net 60 days.

Revenue is recognized for the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer includes fixed and variable amounts. The fixed amount of consideration is the stand-alone selling price of the goods sold. Variable considerations, including cash discounts, rebates, and sales incentive programs, are deducted from gross sales in determining net sales at the time revenues are recorded. Any consideration received (or receivable) that the Company expects to refund to the customer is recognized as a refund liability. We determine these estimates based on historical experience and trends. We elected to account for shipping costs as fulfillment activities, and not as separate performance obligations. Net sales include shipping costs charged to the customer with the related shipping expense recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses when the revenue is recognized. Sales taxes collected from customers are excluded from net sales, which are remitted subsequently to government authorities.

Sales Rebates, Returns and Allowances

Sales rebates relate to price concessions within the retail network in order to maintain the margin requirements for our retail partners. Sales returns are recorded when the customer makes a return of a purchased product or when the customer agrees to keep a purchased product in return for a reduction in the selling price. The allowance for sales returns is established based on historical return rates and the Company’s analysis of macroeconomic conditions. These amounts are included in net sales at the time of the sale on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Total sales returns and allowances were $19.3 million and $14.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total sales rebates were $6.3 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue liabilities are recorded when the customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional before the transfer of a good to the customer and thus represents the Company’s obligation to transfer the good to the customer at a future date. The Company’s primary deferred revenue liabilities are from its direct-to-consumer channel and represent payments received in advance from customers before the shipment of products.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the purchase cost of our products from our third-party manufacturers, inbound freight and duties, costs related to manufacturing of certain of our products, product quality testing and inspection costs. Cost of goods sold also includes depreciation on molds and equipment that we own, allocated overhead and direct and indirect labor for production facility personnel.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs associated with the shipping and handling of customer sales are expensed when the product ships to the customer. These costs are included in selling, general, & administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Marketing Expense

Marketing expense is deferred until the underlying advertisement is shown and recognized in the period of the related program, if within an annual reporting cycle. These costs are included in selling, general, & administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Advertising expense was $96.0 million and $96.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development costs consist of costs related to new product development, prototyping and testing. These costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general, & administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Research and development expense was $1.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges

Restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges are primarily comprised of severance and employee-related benefits, contract termination fees and impairment charges. We recognize employee severance costs as a liability at estimated fair value, at the time of communication to affected employees, unless future service is required, in which case the costs are recognized ratably over the future service period. Contract termination fees include costs incurred to terminate a contract and the impacts to related assets or liabilities associated with these contracts. Asset impairment charges include impairments of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, and goodwill. Restructuring, contract termination and asset impairment activities are recognized when they are incurred and included in restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses consist of costs incurred for the secondary offering completed in May 2023, acquisition-related expenses, business optimization and expansion expenses and management transition costs.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying values and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense (benefit) on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is recognized if the Company determines it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be recognized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent and expected future results of operations.

As a result of the Reorganization Transactions, Solo Brands, Inc. became the sole managing member of Holdings, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including Solo Brands, Inc. following the Reorganization Transactions, on a pro rata basis. Solo Brands, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of Holdings following the Reorganization Transactions. The Company is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

Oru Kayak, Inc. and Chubbies, Inc., wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdings, are subject to federal and state income taxes on corporate earnings and accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, the Company follows a more likely than not measurement methodology to reflect the financial statement impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the tax liability recognized in the consolidated financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority.

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, and local jurisdictions, where applicable. If such examinations result in changes to income or loss, the tax liability of the Company could be changed accordingly.

Warranty

The Company warrants its products against manufacturing defects and will replace all products sold by an authorized retailer that are deemed defective within a contractual time period, dependent upon the product and brand. The Company does not warranty its products against normal wear or misuse. These costs are included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Warranty expense was $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) Per Class A Common Stock

Basic net income (loss) per Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per Class A common stock assumes conversion of potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes equity-based compensation expense for employees and non-employees based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Certain awards contain service and performance vesting conditions. The grant date fair values of restricted stock awards that contain service vesting conditions and performance stock awards that contain a performance target are estimated based on the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date. The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options. This model requires various judgmental assumptions including volatility, the risk free rate, and expected term. For awards with market vesting conditions, the fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporates the likelihood of achieving the market condition. For service-based awards and performance-based awards that are considered probable of vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Equity-based compensation expense is recorded in the selling, general and administrative expense line item on the consolidated statements of operationsand other comprehensive income (loss).

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU amended the existing segment reporting requirements by requiring disclosure of the significant segment expenses based on how management internally views segment information and by allowing the disclosure of more than one measure of segment profit or loss, as well as by expanding the interim period segment requirements. The ASU also requires single-reportable segment entities to report the disclosures required under Topic 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this ASU for the period ended December 31, 2024 and the amendments have been applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements consistent with the standard. Refer to our segments disclosure in Note 22, Segments for more information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, that requires presentation of specific categories of reconciling items, as well as reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, in the reconciliation between the income tax provision and the income tax provision using statutory tax rates. The ASU also requires disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction with separate disclosure of income taxes paid to individual jurisdictions that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this accounting standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but will require certain additional disclosures. We do not expect to early adopt at this time.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), that requires the disclosure of certain amounts included in certain expense captions on the face of the income statement. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but will require certain additional disclosures. We do not expect to early adopt at this time.
