- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that accompany these notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of SharkNinja, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the disclosures, including certain notes required by GAAP on an annual reporting basis. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026 and the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The results for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ended December 31, 2026 or any future operating periods.
The Company has identified the significant accounting policies that are critical to understanding its business and results of operations. Other than the adoption of ASU 2025-05 described under “Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements” below, there have been no significant changes during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 within the Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2026.
Concentration of Credit Risks
The following table summarizes the Company’s customers that represented 10% or more of accounts receivable, net:
| As of | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
| Customer A | 19.0% | 22.0% |
| Customer B | 17.0 | * |
| Customer C | 12.2 | 11.8 |
- Represents less than 10%
The following table summarizes the Company’s customers that represented 10% or more of net sales:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Customer A | 17.1% | 18.5% |
| Customer B | 11.5 | * |
| Customer C | 12.2 | 13.0 |
- Represents less than 10%
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses and allowance for chargebacks. Accounts receivable are presented net of liabilities when a right of offset exists. The Company determined the allowance for customer incentives and allowance for sales returns should be recorded as a liability.
The Company maintains an allowance related to customer incentives based on specific terms and conditions included in the customer agreements or based on historical experience and the Company’s expectation of discounts.
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. To estimate the allowance for credit losses the Company applied the loss-rate method using relevant available information including historical write-off activity, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. When assessing whether to measure certain financial assets on a pooled basis, the Company considered various risk characteristics, including geographic location and industry of the customer. When a specific customer exhibits unique risk characteristics, such as significant deterioration in financial condition or other indicators that it no longer shares similar risk characteristics with the collective pool, that receivable is evaluated individually. Expected credit losses for individually evaluated receivables are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows or, when applicable, the fair value of collateral, and any resulting specific reserves are included in the allowance for credit losses.
Write-offs of accounts receivable are recorded to the allowance for credit losses. Any subsequent recoveries of previously written off balances are recorded as a reduction to credit loss expense.
Below is a rollforward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient permitting entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606 when developing the reasonable and supportable forecast used to estimate expected credit losses. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026, and elected the practical expedient on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies and adopted by the Company on or prior to the specified effective date. As of March 31, 2026, there are no new accounting pronouncements that the Company is considering adopting, other than those described below.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires incremental disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which requires capitalization of software costs to start when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or on a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging(Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements, which clarifies hedge accounting guidance to better align financial reporting with an entity’s economic risk management activities and expands certain hedge accounting applications. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments must be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2025‑11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements, which requires clarified guidance on the form, content, and applicability of interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP, incorporates a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and establishes a principle to disclose events occurring since the end of the last annual reporting period that materially affect the entity. The standard is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
- Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated on a regular basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company hastwo operating segments, Domestic and International, for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the CODM, who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Domestic consists of the United States and Canada, and International consists of markets outside the United States and Canada.
The Company has determined that thesetwo operating segments are aggregated intoone reportable segment based on the criteria in ASC 280-10-50-11. Domestic and International have similar economic characteristics, including similar long-term gross margin profiles, and are similar in the qualitative factors specified in ASC 280-10-50-11, including the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production processes, the type or class of customer, and the methods used to distribute products. Both operating segments sell substantially the same products and services, which are supported by a single global sourcing/manufacturing ecosystem and distribution model, and serve similar classes of customers (including large retailers and end consumers).
The CODM uses gross profit as the primary measure to assess performance and allocate resources, and reviews operating results, including gross profit information, at both the consolidated level and by geographic operating segment. The CODM also reviews operating expenses and other performance information primarily on a consolidated basis, including comparisons of functional spend categories to forecast, to assess variances and trends. Transactions between operating segments are not material. The following table presents selected financial information with respect to the Company’s single reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

(1)Excludes shared-based compensation, a non-cash expense related to awards issued from the SharkNinja Equity Incentive Plan. These costs have been excluded from personnel expenses and reclassified to other segment items, as they are not presented to or reviewed by the CODM.
(2)Excludes litigation costs incurred and related settlements for certain patent infringement claims, false advertising claims against us, and product safety concerns, and excludes costs incurred related to the voluntary product recall. These costs have been excluded from professional service expenses and reclassified to other segment items1, as they are not presented to or reviewed by the CODM.
(3)Excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets that the Company does not consider normal recurring operating expenses, as the intangible assets relate to JS Global’s acquisition of our business. These costs have been excluded from depreciation and amortization expenses and reclassified to other segment items, as they are not presented to or reviewed by the CODM.
(4)Other segment items include travel expenses, commissions, miscellaneous expenses and the expenses listed in Notes 1 through 3 above.
The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segment are the same as those described in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Segment assets are not regularly provided to the CODM, and therefore the measure of segment assets is reported as total consolidated assets.

- Debt
On July 20, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“2023 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain banks and financial institutions party thereto as lenders and issuing banks. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for an $810.0 million term loan facility (the “2023 Term Loan”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (“2023 Revolving Facility”). The 2023 Term Loan and 2023 Revolving Facility mature in July 2028, and both facilities bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.75%. All SOFR borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement also incur a 0.1% credit adjustment. The Company has the ability to borrow in certain alternative currencies under the 2023 Credit Agreement. Alternative currency loans are priced using an Alternative Currency Term Rate plus any applicable spread adjustments. The Company may request increases to the 2023 Term Loan or 2023 Revolving Facility in a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $520.0 million or 100% of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement, for the most recently completed fiscal year.
No amounts were outstanding on the 2023 Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2025 or March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, $10.9 million of letters of credit were outstanding, resulting in an available balance of $489.1 million under the 2023 Revolving Facility.
The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants customary with this type of agreement, including, but not limited to, maintaining a maximum ratio of indebtedness and a minimum specified interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the loan parties under the 2023 Credit Agreement with respect to the 2023 Term Loan and 2023 Revolving Facility are secured by (i) equity interests owned by the loan parties in each other loan party and in certain of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries and (ii) substantially all assets of the domestic loan parties (subject to certain customary exceptions). In addition, subject to certain customary exceptions, these obligations are guaranteed by (i) the Company, (ii) each subsidiary of the Company that directly or indirectly owns a borrower and (iii) each other direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiary of the Company.
Debt consisted of the following:
| As of | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| 2023 Term Loan with principal payments due quarterly; final balance due on maturity date of July 20, 2028 | $729,000 | $739,125 |
| Less: deferred financing costs | (2,697) | (2,986) |
| Total debt, net of deferred financing costs | 726,303 | 736,139 |
| Less: debt, current | (39,344) | (39,344) |
| Debt, noncurrent | $686,959 | $696,795 |
The Company recognizes and records interest expense related to its debt in interest expense, net, which totaled $11.0 million and $13.6 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Fair Value of Debt
The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using a discounted cash flow method that utilizes observable market inputs, including SOFR-based forward curves and market credit spreads, and therefore categorizes the fair value measurement within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The 2023 Credit Agreement bears interest at variable rates indexed to SOFR, and as a result, the Company believes the carrying amount approximates fair value.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of long-term debt were as follows:
| As of | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Carrying amount | $729,000 | $739,125 |

- Commitments and Contingencies
Non-Cancelable Purchase Obligations
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into non-cancelable purchase commitments, including marketing and endorsement agreements. Certain of these agreements extend over terms of up tofive years, with payments required in varying installments over the term. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has remaining obligations associated with marketing and endorsement agreements with original terms greater than 12 months totaling $100.1 million, which are payable in a combination of cash and ordinary shares of SharkNinja, Inc., as follows:

Indemnifications and Contingencies
The Company enters into indemnification provisions under certain agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business. In its customer agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the indemnified party for third-party claims and related losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party from actual or threatened third-party intellectual property infringement claims. For certain large or strategic customers, the Company has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the indemnified party for non-compliance with certain additional representations and warranties made by the Company.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities, including certain patent infringement claims, false advertising claims against us, and product safety concerns. The Company investigates these claims as they arise. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate loss with respect to any current legal proceedings and claims, if determined adversely to the Company, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operation.
Product Recall
In May 2025, the Company announced a voluntary recall of the Ninja Foodi OP300 series pressure cooker in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada. As of March 31, 2026, the amount of accrued expenses related to recall remedies for consumers was $1.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred $1.1 million of product recall-related expenses, which were recorded within cost of sales and operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Estimating the cost of recall remedies requires judgment and is primarily based on expected consumer participation rates and the estimated cost of the new lid design. Additionally, the Company expects to incur other indirect costs related to the recall, such as legal fees, website costs to allow consumers to respond to the recall, and costs to handle consumer inquiries. The Company will reevaluate these assumptions each period, and the related accruals may be adjusted when factors indicate that the accruals are either not sufficient to cover or exceed the estimated product recall expenses.
- Shareholders’ Equity and Equity Incentive Plan
Restricted Share Units
SharkNinja Equity Incentive Plan
On July 28, 2023, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) to grant cash and equity incentive awards to eligible participants in order to attract, motivate and retain talent. The 2023 Plan provides for the issuance of options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance awards and other awards. The 2023 Plan initially made 13,898,287 ordinary shares available for future award grants.
The 2023 Plan contains an evergreen provision whereby the shares available for future grants are increased on the first day of each calendar year from January 1, 2025 through and including January 1, 2033 in an amount equal to 0.6% of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding on December 31 st of the preceding year. On January 1, 2026, additional ordinary shares in the amount of 846,948 were registered as a result of this evergreen provision. As of March 31, 2026, ordinary shares in the amount of 8,630,788 were available for future grant under the 2023 Plan. Shares or RSUs forfeited, and unexercised option lapses from the 2023 Plan are available for future grant under the 2023 Plan.
RSU activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 for RSUs granted under the 2023 Plan were as follows:
| Number of Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per share | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested as of December 31, 2025 | 1,102,282 | $43.90 |
| Granted | 2,484,094 | 111.01 |
| Vested | (1,075,182) | 42.83 |
| Cancelled/Forfeited | (15,253) | 84.47 |
| Unvested as of March 31, 2026 | 2,495,941 | $110.90 |
RSUs granted for the three months ended March 31, 2026 under the 2023 Plan were 2,484,094, of which 565,748 RSUs were granted with service-only conditions and 1,318,346 performance-based RSUs were granted with vesting conditions tied to the achievement of certain performance growth metrics, such as net sales, gross profit and operating cash flow, and 600,000 market-based RSUs were granted with conditions tied to the achievement of a certain level of market capitalization over a consecutive period of time.
Employee Share Purchase Plan
On July 28, 2023, the board of directors approved the 2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). A maximum of 1% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares (or 1,389,828 shares) were made available for sale under the ESPP. The ESPP contains an evergreen provision whereby the shares available for sale will automatically increase on the first day of each calendar year from January 1, 2025 through and including January 1, 2033, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)0.15% of the total number of ordinary shares of the Company outstanding on December 31 st of the preceding year; (ii)300,000 shares; or (iii) such lesser number of shares as determined by the board at any time prior to the first day of a given calendar year. On January 1, 2026, additional ordinary shares in the amount of 211,737 were registered as a result of this evergreen provision. As of March 31, 2026, ordinary shares in the amount of 1,398,976 were available for future grant under the ESPP Plan. The ESPP provides forsix-month offering periods during which the Company will grant rights to purchase ordinary shares to eligible employees. The first offering period began in February 2024. There were 84,830 and 114,527 shares purchased under the ESPP during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, total unrecognized share-based compensation was $1.9 million, which is to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 0.3 years.
Share-Based Compensation
The share-based compensation by line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income is summarized as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Research and development | $4,366 | $2,909 |
| Sales and marketing | 6,671 | 2,538 |
| General and administrative | 19,272 | 6,103 |
| Total share-based compensation | $30,309 | $11,550 |
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $253.7 million unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to RSUs granted under the 2023 Plan that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. Of this unrecognized share-based compensation cost, $150.6 million and $36.9 million related to RSUs granted under the 2023 Plan with performance and market conditions, respectively.
For those RSUs with service conditions, performance conditions or a combination of both, the grant date fair value was measured based on the quoted price of our ordinary shares at the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value of these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $119.54 per share.
The Company estimated the fair value for the RSUs with a market condition using the Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant. Shares issued upon vesting are subject to a mandatory 12-month post-vesting lock-up period that may not be waived under any circumstance. A discount for lack of marketability was applied using the Finnerty (2012) average-strike put option model. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the RSUs with a market condition granted for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $84.24, using the following assumptions:
| Share price at valuation date | $113.85 |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 46.18 % |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.70 % |
| Expected dividends | 0% |
| Expected term (in years) | 4.99 |
| Discount for illiquidity | 11.68 % |
The total grant-date fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $46.1 million.
Share Repurchase Program
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 193,135 ordinary shares under its $750.0 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on February 11, 2026 (the “Repurchase Program”) at an aggregate cost of $20.0 million at an average price of $103.54 per share. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares or dollar amount under the Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2026, $730.0 million remained available for future repurchases under the Repurchase Program. Repurchased shares are recorded as treasury shares at cost on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
- Income Taxes
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $26.1 million and $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 17.7% and 19.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This decrease in the ETR is primarily driven by changes in the geographic mix of earnings and applicable tax rates.
- Net Income Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the periods presented:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| (in thousands, except share and per share data) | ||
| Numerator: | ||
| Net income | $121,462 | $117,835 |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average shares used in computing net income per share, basic | 141,396,491 | 140,622,029 |

| Weighted-average shares used in computing net income per share, diluted | 142,358,711 | 142,183,430 |
| Net income per share, basic | $0.86 | $0.84 |
| Net income per share, diluted | $0.85 | $0.83 |
Potential ordinary shares of certain performance-based and market-based RSUs of approximately 1,478,897 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 for which all targets required to trigger vesting had not been achieved, were excluded from the calculations of weighted average shares used in computing diluted net income per share.
