We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report may be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to statements regarding our future ability to continue as a going concern, our ability to transform our business, improve our liquidity and long-term capital structure, including through the continued execution of cost saving and operational improvements, our compliance with the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), expectations with respect to the trading of our Class A common stock following the reverse stock split and trading reinstatement on the NYSE effected in July 2025, our future results of operations and financial position, the effect of tariffs, industry and business trends, business strategy, plans, restocking trends, market growth, compliance with debt covenants and our objectives for future operations.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our future ability to continue as a going concern; our ability to realize expected benefits from our strategic plans; our ability to implement any restructuring and cost-reduction efforts; our limited liquidity; our ability to mitigate the impact of new and increased tariffs and similar restrictions on our business; our reliance on third-party manufacturers, which operate mostly outside of the U.S., and problems with, or the loss of, our suppliers or an inability to obtain raw materials; our dependence on cash generated from operations to support our business and our growth initiatives; our continued ability to comply with the listing standards of the NYSE; the effects of the reverse stock split effected in July 2025 on the trading of our Class A common stock; risks associated with fluctuations in the price of our Class A common stock; risks associated with our indebtedness, including the limits imposed by our indebtedness to invest in the ongoing needs of our business; our ability to maintain and strengthen our brand to generate and maintain ongoing demand for our products; our ability to design, develop and introduce new products; our ability to manage our future growth effectively; our ability to expand into additional markets; risks associated with our international operations; our inability to sustain historic growth rates; our ability to cost-effectively attract new customers and retain our existing customers; the highly competitive market in which we operate; our failure to maintain product quality and product performance at an acceptable cost; the impact of product liability and warranty claims and product recalls, including write-offs; geopolitical actions, natural disasters, or pandemics; the ability of our largest stockholders to influence corporate matters; and the important factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2025, and in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in its other filings with the SEC.

These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report and have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in thousands)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Included below are selected significant accounting policies. Refer to Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, within the annual consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K for the full list of significant accounting policies.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been reflected. The unaudited 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. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been conformed to the current period’s presentation.
Reverse Stock Split
On July 8, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-40. The reverse stock split did not change the par value or the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements present the retroactive effect of the reverse stock split on the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock and per share amounts for all periods presented.
Going Concern Evaluation
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. As of the filing dates of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company concluded that substantial doubt existed about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of each of the financial statements as a result of the Company’s net losses, accumulated deficit and liquidity position, as well as the Company’s noncompliance with certain financial covenants under the credit agreement governing the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) and the 2021 Term Loan (as defined herein) as of March 31, 2025.
On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to Security Agreement (the “2025 Refinancing Amendment”), which amends the credit agreement dated as of May 12, 2021 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of June 2, 2021, Amendment No. 2, dated as of September 1, 2021, Amendment No. 3, dated as of May 22, 2023, the “Credit Agreement” and as further amended by the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and letter of credit issuer, and the lenders party thereto.
The 2025 Refinancing Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, effect a restructuring of all revolving loans and term loans then outstanding. The 2025 Refinancing Amendment resulted in extended maturities, lower short-term cash requirements as a result of the Company’s ability to make certain interest payments in-kind, and deferral with respect to compliance with certain financial covenants for a certain period of time, as further described below. As a result, the 2025 Refinancing Amendment provided the Company with financial flexibility and a longer runway to continue the Company’s efforts to stabilize and transform the business. Following the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, the Company’s plans continue to be focused on improving its financial results and liquidity through a variety of cost saving and operational improvements throughout 2025 and beyond as further discussed in Note 2, Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges.
As a result of the factors noted above, the substantial doubt surrounding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern that was raised as of the issuance date of the December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 financial statements was alleviated. The Company is required to meet a Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA floor of $25 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company must comply with other financial covenants under the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum liquidity amount, with first full measurement period for such financial covenants to occur in the third quarter of 2026, as well as other non-financial covenants. While the 2025 Refinancing Amendment included amended financial covenants, as described in further detail in Note 11, Debt, Net, the Company expects to be in compliance with such covenants and believes its cash, cash equivalents and cash from operating activities will be sufficient to fund the Company’s obligations for at least the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.
If the Company fails to realize the expected benefits from its cost saving and operational improvement initiatives, if the Company’s liquidity condition deteriorates, or if the Company pursues potential growth opportunities that are not successful, the Company’s business, operating results
and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted and could result in the violation of its financial and nonfinancial covenants, which may require it to seek additional funds from issuances of equity or debt, including from additional credit facilities or loans from other sources. There is no guarantee that such sources will be available when needed, or at all.
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 the operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from estimates.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs related to term debt are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related debt. Debt issuance costs related to revolving loans are recorded within other non-current assets and amortized straight-line over the term of the related debt. Amortization of debt issuance costs are recorded as a component of interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Costs incurred in connection with an expected refinancing, restructuring or debt issuance are capitalized and recorded within other non-current assets. Upon completion of the transaction, such costs are reclassified to their appropriate presentation based on the nature of the resulting debt instrument.
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 asset impairment charges. We recognize employee severance costs as a liability at estimated fair value, at the time of communication to 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 and goodwill, as addressed in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, in the 2024 Form 10-K. 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).
Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. 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. Based on the information available, the Company evaluates the likelihood of potential outcomes. 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 as they are expensed as incurred. The consolidated balance sheets do not include a liability for any potential obligations as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
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 in the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses. The ASU also requires tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation. 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 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, on a prospective basis, with retrospective application being optional. 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.
NOTE 2 - Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges
2025 Restructuring Activity
In 2025, management and the Board of Directors of the Company engaged strategic consulting firms to assist the Company with improving financial results from its operations. This operational improvement effort involved the engagement of restructuring, legal and investment banking consultants to perform financial planning, forecasting and project management activities. Certain of these strategic consulting firms assisted in developing operational plans for the near- and long-term, as well as having assisted and continuing to assist in identifying cost saving initiatives to reduce the operational expenses of the Company and aid in the development of enhanced internal reporting to deliver timely insight to management. Expenses related to these strategic consulting firms recognized within restructuring were $0.5 million and $7.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
The cost saving initiatives identified and executed upon in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 have been designed to reduce operational expenditures over the long-term. The key cost saving initiatives and operational planning activities undertaken in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 in excess of $0.5 million, for which the Company recorded the related charges to restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as applicable, were as follows (all amounts listed are year to date, with the amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2025 included in the table below):
•Restructuring
◦retention payments to key personnel to support the sustainment of operations and focus on cost saving and operational improvements, resulting in a restructuring charge of $5.7 million;
◦reduction in force (“RIF”) of management and non-management personnel in an effort to align headcount with the operational needs of the business, resulting in a moderate decline in related expenses in the short term, with the significance of the savings anticipated to be recognized in future periods, resulting in a restructuring charge of $1.0 million;
◦expenses related to the strategic consulting firms discussed above, resulting in a restructuring charge of $7.0 million;
•Contract Terminations
•termination of an underperforming licensing agreement in an effort to redeploy the allocated funds for operational purposes, resulting in a charge to contract termination of $2.5 million;
•settlement of a termination fee with a former advertising services vendor, with a previously accrued balance of $5.4 million that was settled for $4.0 million, a $1.4 million benefit to the Company; and
•closure of two distribution centers in the first half of 2025 and one distribution center in the third quarter of 2025 to reduce fixed costs in the short term and in future periods, as well as eliminate unnecessary capacity, resulting in charges to restructuring of $1.5 million, contract termination of $0.2 million and impairment of $0.5 million, or an aggregate charge to expense of $2.2 million.
2024 Restructuring Activity
In 2024, the Company underwent a significant change in management and personnel across the organization. The management team engaged in a detailed review of the business and its brand level components, both internally and through the engagement of external strategic partners. Management developed a strategic plan focused on returning the Company back to growth. This strategic plan involved the following activities:
•termination of underperforming marketing agreements with marketing barter partners that no longer aligned with the Company’s current marketing strategy;
•charges related to the IcyBreeze reporting unit stemming from underperformance and management’s determination to revise product design; and
•reorganization of the Oru and ISLE reporting units to eliminate costs and capitalize on potential synergies, through restructuring under a revised management structure, which resulted in severance and other changes.
As a result of these activities, the Company recognized significant charges for restructuring and contract terminations, in addition to asset impairment charges related to IcyBreeze. This plan was completed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and, as such, there are no outstanding liabilities related to this plan as of September 30, 2025.
The components of the restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges, inclusive of the $25.0 million goodwill impairment charge recognized at the Solo Stove reporting unit in the third quarter of 2024, as discussed in Note 8, Goodwill, are as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2025, the Company is unable to estimate the potential upfront costs of these future cost saving initiatives, due to their preliminary nature.

Second and Third Quarters - 2025
In the second and third quarters of 2025, the Company did not identify any triggering events that would indicate the potential for impairment of its held and used long-lived asset groups.
First Quarter - 2025
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company observed the following triggering events for the Company’s held and used long-lived asset groups:
•A sustained decline in the share price of the Company’s Class A common stock as of March 31, 2025; and
•the potential impact of tariff increases.
Long-lived asset groups are determined by the lowest level of independent, identifiable cash flows, for which the Company has determined are its brands and in the case of Chubbies, the owned retail store level. As a result of the identified triggering events, the Company performed a recoverability test for the identified long-lived asset groups. The results of the test indicated that the carrying amounts for the long-lived asset groups were expected to be recoverable.
2024 Impairment Testing
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company observed the following triggering events for the Company’s held and used long-lived asset groups:
•A sustained decline in the share price of the Company’s Class A common stock as of September 30, 2024; and
•Underperformance of the IcyBreeze reporting unit for the third quarter and year to date period ended September 30, 2024;
As a result of the identified triggering events, the Company performed a recoverability test for the identified long-lived asset groups, and the results of the test indicated that the carrying amounts for the long-lived asset group of IcyBreeze were not expected to be recovered. The Company estimated the fair value of the asset group, which included the use of level 3 inputs, of IcyBreeze and wrote down the intangible assets to their estimated fair value, resulting in nominal value assigned to the existing intangible asset(s). See Note 2, Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges for impairment considerations as they relate to the property and equipment, net of IcyBreeze.
The Company recorded an aggregate $13.3 million impairment charge to the intangible assets of IcyBreeze as of December 31, 2024. As a result of this impairment charge, the Company also reassessed the useful life of the intangible assets of IcyBreeze. As of December 31, 2024, $0.9 million of value continued to be attributable to the patent intangible asset of IcyBreeze, for which the Company expects to continue to obtain value over its remaining useful life. As such, the remaining useful life of the patent intangible asset was not revised. The impact of the impairment does not have a material impact to amortization expense in any future year.
NOTE 8 – Goodwill
The carrying value of goodwill at our Chubbies reporting unit, the only reporting unit with remaining goodwill, was $73.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Second and Third Quarters - 2025
In the second and third quarters of 2025, the Company did not identify any triggering events that would indicate the potential for impairment of its remaining goodwill balance.
First Quarter 2025
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company identified indications of impairment, as noted above in Note 7, Intangible Assets, Net. The Company elected to perform a qualitative goodwill analysis (“Step 0”) of the Chubbies reporting unit, which included assessing the economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, prior period fair values and other entity and reporting unit specific events. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Chubbies reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value as of March 31, 2025.
2024 Impairment Testing
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company observed the following indicators of impairment for the Company’s goodwill, indicating the fair value of one or more of our reporting units more likely than not did not exceed their carrying values:
•A sustained decline in the share price of the Company’s Class A common stock as of September 30, 2024; and
•Underperformance of the IcyBreeze reporting unit for the third quarter and year to date period ended September 30, 2024;
As a result of these impairment indicators, the Company determined it appropriate to perform an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for all of its reporting units as of September 30, 2024. Through the quantitative goodwill impairment test performed as of September 30, 2024, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of the IcyBreeze and Solo Stove reporting units exceeded their respective fair values and goodwill impairment charges of $19.9 million and $25.0 million, respectively, were recognized. The Chubbies reporting unit was determined to have a fair value exceeding its book value by more than 5%.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan
On May 12, 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank (the “2021 Revolving Credit Facility”). On June 2, 2021, September 1, 2021 and May 22, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, which resulted in an increase in the maximum amount available under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility to $350 million. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on May 12, 2026 and had a variable interest rate equal to either the base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or SOFR plus an applicable margin. Interest was due, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis, with principal in respect of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, not due until maturity.
The amendment on September 1, 2021 included a provision for the Company to borrow up to $100 million under a term loan (the “2021 Term Loan”), which was in addition to the available capacity on the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2021 Term Loan was scheduled to mature on May 12, 2026 and had a variable interest rate equal to either the base rate (as defined in the credit agreement) or SOFR plus an applicable margin. Principal payments were due quarterly beginning on December 31, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of $277.3 million under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, all of which was refinanced with the other outstanding debt obligations in connection with the 2025 Refinancing Amendment.
On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, which provided for (i) refinancing term loans, including the 2021 Term Loan, with an aggregate principal amount of $240 million (“2025 Term Loan”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility with an initial committed amount of $90 million (“2025 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility includes (i) a sub-limit of $10 million for swing line loans and (ii) a separate sub-limit of $20 million for the issuance of letters of credit.
In connection with the entry into the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, the Company paid down (i) $136.5 million of loans under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) $32.5 million of the 2021 Term Loan outstanding as of June 13, 2025. Prior to the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, a payment of $0.5 million was made on the 2021 Term Loan for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Pursuant to the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, the maturity date of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and 2025 Term Loan is June 30, 2028. The Company is required to make mandatory amortization payments on the 2025 Term Loan as follows: (a) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2026, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 2025 Term Loan as of June 13, 2025 multiplied by 0.25% and (b) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2027, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Term Loan as of June 13, 2025 multiplied by 1.00%.
Each of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and 2025 Term Loan bear interest at (depending on the Company’s election from time to time) either an adjusted term rate defined in the agreement based on SOFR or the base rate defined in the credit agreement, each plus an applicable margin and (ii) the 2025 Term Loan will bear interest at (depending on our election from time to time) either an adjusted term rate defined in the agreement based on SOFR or the base rate defined in the agreement, each plus an applicable margin. The interest is payable in kind (“PIK”), and thus capitalized thereon and increasing the principal balance thereof, (i) on a quarterly basis through March 31, 2026, and (ii) for the period beginning on April 1, 2026 and ending on March 31, 2027 and for which availability under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility is less than $20.0 million, upon the Company’s election, after which time, it is only payable in cash. PIK capitalized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $6.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The unfunded portion of the commitments under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility will accrue an annual commitment fee of 0.50%. The interest rate as of September 30, 2025 on the 2025 Term Loan was 9.8%, which is approximately 200 basis points higher than the rate that would be applicable to the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility in the event there were an outstanding balance.
As a result of the 2025 Refinancing Agreement, the outstanding borrowings with maturities in excess of twelve months from September 30, 2025 on the 2025 Term Loan and 2025 Revolving Credit Facility were reclassified to non-current liabilities from current liabilities.
Subsequent to June 13, 2025 through September 30, 2025, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $19.8 million, with repayments of $19.8 million under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, availability for future draws on the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility based on the borrowing base as of such date was $60.6 million, net of $3.7 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. Availability under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024 was $279.6 million, net of $1.4 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding.
In conjunction with the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, the Company incurred $23.8 million of third-party expenses, primarily related to (i) strategic consulting firms, as discussed in Note 2, Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges, and (ii) lender fees, of which $4.4 million attributable to the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility was recognized within other non-operating, net. The Company capitalized $6.4 million related to borrowings under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility, which were recorded to other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized on a straight-line basis through the maturity date. The remaining $13.0 million, including $12.1 million of debt issuance costs attributable to the 2025 Term Loan and $0.9 million of previously unamortized issuance costs, were recorded to long-term debt, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, in connection with the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, the Company issued 121,998 shares of Class A common stock to a certain lender in lieu of a cash consent fee. The fair value of the Class A common stock was approximately $0.8 million as of the refinancing date and was included in total debt issuance costs recorded to long-term debt, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
Long-term debt, net approximates fair value based on the variable nature of interest at market rates using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as defined in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the 2024 Form 10-K. See Note 15, Fair Value Measurements of this Quarterly Report for the period ended September 30, 2025 for more information regarding the fair value considerations for long-term debt, net.
Interest expense was $7.6 million and $20.7 million, net of interest income, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $3.7 million and $10.4 million for the corresponding periods in 2024, respectively.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, the future maturities of principal amounts of our total debt obligations, excluding finance lease obligations, through maturity and in total, consists of the following:
| | | | | |
| Years Ending December 31, | Amount |
| 2025 (remaining three months) | — | |
| 2026 | 1,800 | |

NOTE 13 – Equity-Based Compensation
The Company recognized equity-based compensation expense of $0.9 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, with the first quarter of 2025 resulting in a net benefit due to forfeitures related to the departure of the former CEO and other key members of management at that time, and expense of $1.9 million and $4.7 million for the corresponding periods in 2024, respectively. Our stock options have contractual terms of four years to ten years and become exercisable over a three-year period. Expense related to stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expense related to restricted stock units ("RSUs") issued to eligible employees under the Solo Brands, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “Incentive Award Plan”) is recognized over the vesting period, generally between two years and three years, with awards prior to 2024 having a four-year vesting period. Expense related to RSUs granted to non-employee directors under the Incentive Award Plan is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with newly appointed non-employee directors grants and grants to continuing non-employee directors vesting over a one-year period. Expense related to performance stock units (“PSUs”) is recognized on a straight-line basis from their award date to the end of the performance period, generally two years. Expense related to special performance stock units (“SPSUs”) is recognized on a straight-line basis from their award date to the end of the requisite service period of three years. Expense related to the Executive Performance Stock Units (“EPSUs”) is recognized over the derived service period.
The following table summarizes equity-based compensation awards granted and forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

NOTE 14 – Income Taxes
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on the Company's allocable share of taxable income of Solo Stove Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”). The subsidiaries of Holdings are also subject to income taxes in the foreign jurisdictions in which they operate. We are the sole managing member of Holdings, and as a result, consolidate the financial results of Holdings. Holdings is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, Holdings is generally not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Instead, taxable income or loss is allocated to its members on a pro rata basis. We are subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Holdings, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by Solo Brands, Inc. Furthermore, we are subject to income taxes for our Chubbies, Oru Mexico and Solo Stove foreign operations.
Our forecasted annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), as calculated for our tax filing jurisdictions generating earnings, was 23.8% as of September 30, 2025. The effective income tax rate was 2.3% and (7.0)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 5.8% and 5.7% for the corresponding periods in 2024. The decrease for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily driven by a decrease in the valuation allowances recorded on the Solo Brands, Inc. deferred tax assets in the current year period when compared to the same
period in the prior year. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is negative due to earnings generated on the Chubbies, Oru Mexico and Solo Stove foreign operations.
Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $(0.6) million and $4.1 million, compared to $6.9 million and $7.4 million of income tax benefit in the corresponding period in 2024. Income taxes represent federal, state, and local income taxes as calculated by our AETR of Chubbies' federal and state tax expense and Oru Mexico and Solo Stove’s foreign tax expense.
The weighted-average ownership interest in Holdings was 66.9% and 63.8% as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
As of September 30, 2025, the total deferred tax liability related to the basis difference in the Company's investment in Holdings was nominal, after consideration of the valuation allowance. The total net basis difference currently recorded would reverse upon the eventual sale of its interest in Holdings as a capital loss.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not recognize any deferred tax assets related to additional tax basis increases generated from expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, as defined in Note 16 - Income Taxes, to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of September 30, 2025, the Company concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that not all of the Solo Brands, Inc. deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company evaluated and concluded that there was significant negative evidence related to the realizability of Oru's deferred tax assets, resulting in the Company recording a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of Oru. As of September 30, 2025, there has been no change in the valuation allowance assessment related to Oru’s deferred tax assets, with a full valuation allowance remaining in place.
Tax Legislation
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 which includes, among other provisions, changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including the allowance of immediate expensing of qualifying research and development expenses and permanent extensions of certain provisions within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Certain provisions are effective beginning in 2026. The Company will continue to evaluate the future impact of these tax law changes on its financial statements; however, the Company believes that due to its sustained losses it will not realize a material benefit from these changes.
NOTE 15 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Levels within the hierarchy are defined within Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, in the 2024 Form 10-K.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Fair Value Measurements |
| December 31, 2024 | Total Fair Value | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 |
| Financial liabilities: | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Contingent Consideration | $ | 7,232 | | $ | — | | $ | — | | $ | 7,232 |
There were no transfers of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024.
The contingent consideration as of December 31, 2024 related to the Company’s acquisition of the TerraFlame business in 2023 and relied on forecasted results through the expected post-closing payment period. The fair value of the contingent consideration was valued using a threshold and cap (capped call) structure. This contingent consideration represented a stand-alone liability that was measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the end of each reporting period using inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement and were considered a Level 3 estimate.
In connection with the disposition of the TerraFlame manufacturing operations, as described in Note 17, Variable Interest Entities, the Company remeasured the contingent consideration immediately preceding the disposition. As the contingent consideration was fully relieved as of June 30, 2025, no expense was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025 with a gain of $0.8 million being recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For the same periods in 2024, losses of $0.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were recognized as a result of the remeasurement of the fair value of the contingent consideration and were recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, net and notes payable and other debt. The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments and are classified as Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
With the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, as discussed in Note 11, Debt, Net, the outstanding debt of the Company is recorded at carrying value, less associated debt issuance costs, which the Company believes approximates fair value based on the variable nature of interest at market rates using Level 2 inputs.
NOTE 16 – Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Solo Brands, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Solo Brands, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. The weighted average number of shares has been retrospectively adjusted as a result of the 1-for-40 reverse stock split effected in the third quarter of 2025. See Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.
The following table sets forth the calculation of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the Company’s Class A common stock (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 17 - Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we consolidated one entity that is a VIE, that relates to a manufacturing entity for Oru, for which we are the primary beneficiary. Through a management agreement governing the entity, we manage the entity and handle all day-to-day operating decisions. Accordingly, we have the decision-making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of our VIE and an obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. These decisions and significant activities include, but are not limited to, manufacturing schedules, production processes, units of production and types of products. The Company is contractually obligated to provide financial support to the VIE.
Total assets of the VIE included on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $2.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Total liabilities of the VIE included on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $3.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
The VIE’s assets may only be used to settle the VIE’s obligations and may not be used for other consolidated entities. The VIE’s liabilities are non-recourse to the general credit of the Company’s other consolidated entities.
Unconsolidated VIE
In June 2025, the Company disposed of 100% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries operating the TerraFlame business, which included disposition of the TerraFlame fixed assets (collectively, the “TerraFlame manufacturing operations”) to the individuals who originally sold to the Company the equity interests in those subsidiaries in 2023 (“Former Sellers”). Further, in connection with the disposition, the Company made a $2.5 million cash payment to the Former Sellers, in consideration for the termination of the Equity Purchase Agreement executed in 2023 and satisfaction of the remaining contingent consideration, which had a fair value of $6.4 million as of the date of the transaction.
The purpose of the transaction was for the Company to maintain exclusive rights to TerraFlame intellectual property and the right to distribute TerraFlame products, while reducing costs to operate the business, and to allow the Former Sellers the opportunity to use the fixed assets of the TerraFlame business, which primarily consist of a manufacturing facility, the related equipment to produce TerraFlame and other concrete based products and the TerraFlame assembled workforce in Mexico, to pursue other business opportunities. Thus, the Company retained the intellectual property and all finished goods of TerraFlame, as it will continue to be the exclusive distributor of TerraFlame products. In line with the transaction, the Company and the Former Sellers executed a supply agreement in which the Former Sellers have agreed to continue to manufacture TerraFlame products and sell these products to the Company at cost plus a specified margin, as well as a required annual minimum purchase commitment of $0.8 million.
In addition to the gain of $0.7 million recognized on remeasurement of the contingent consideration as of June 12, 2025, as discussed in Note 15, Fair Value Measurements, the Company recognized a loss of $1.4 million upon deconsolidation as of June 30, 2025, which was recorded to other operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The assets transferred to the Former Sellers, which had a net book value of $5.5 million, were deconsolidated from the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and the remaining contingent consideration, which had a fair value of $6.4 million as of the transaction date, was relieved.
The Company performed a VIE analysis and determined that TerraFlame was a VIE, but that the Company is not its primary beneficiary. The Former Sellers have the power due to their (i) 100% equity ownership of the VIE, (ii) ability to direct the VIE and (iii) make all significant decisions that impact the economic performance of the VIE. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss to the unconsolidated VIE is limited to the annual minimum purchase commitment of $0.8 million.

The Company conducts its worldwide operations through separate business segments, each of which represents major product lines. Operations are conducted in the U.S. and various foreign countries, primarily in Europe, Canada and Australia. Segment reporting is based upon the “management approach,” i.e., how we organize operating segments for which separate financial information is (1) available and (2) evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.
The Company’s two reportable segments are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Segment | | Key Brands | | Description of Primary Products |
| Solo Stove | | Solo Stove and TerraFlame(1) | | Indoor and outdoor firepits, stoves, and accessories |
| Chubbies | | Chubbies | | Premium casual apparel and activewear |
(1) While certain assets and manufacturing operations of the TerraFlame business were transferred to the Former Sellers during the second quarter of 2025, the Company will continue to be sole distributor of TerraFlame products and will recognize the resulting profit or loss from the Company’s distribution activities within the Solo Stove reporting units.
Remaining operating segments that did not meet the criteria necessary to be considered a reportable segment are aggregated into All Other.
Our CODM relies on internal management reporting that analyzes our segments’ EBITDA, which he utilizes to evaluate performance and allocate resources. As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODM to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets are not presented below.
The following table presents the percentage of net sales attributable to the Company’s two reportable segments:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Percentage of Net Sales |
| Solo Stove | | Chubbies |
| Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | 58.1 | % | | 31.1 | % |
| Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 | 63.1 | % | | 20.8 | % |
| | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | 42.8 | % | | 46.6 | % |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 | 58.4 | % | | 28.5 | % |
A single customer contributed greater than 10% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024, with net sales of $10.1 million, from which both the Solo Stove and Chubbies segments generated net sales activity. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 did not have any customers who contributed 10% or greater to consolidated net sales for the respective period.
Our sales to foreign customers, mostly attributable to the Solo Stove segment, were $3.9 million and $16.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $7.6 million and $23.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The following table presents the percentage of international net sales attributable to our two reportable segments:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Percentage of International Net Sales |
| Solo Stove | | Chubbies |
| Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | 79.1 | % | | — | % |
| Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 | 83.3 | % | | 2.5 | % |
| | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | 83.2 | % | | 2.6 | % |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 | 84.0 | % | | 2.6 | % |
Net sales to no individual country outside the U.S. accounted for more than 10% of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In the following discussion, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” and similar references mean Solo Brands, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. Some of the numbers included herein have been rounded for the convenience of the presentation. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under Item I, Part 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. See further our “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
We own and operate premium brands with ingenious products that we market and deliver through our direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) platform and retail partnerships. We aim to help our customers enjoy good moments that create lasting memories. We consistently deliver innovative, high-quality products that are loved by our customers and revolutionize the outdoor experience, build community and help everyday people reconnect with what matters most. We operate as two reportable segments: Solo Stove, which includes the Solo Stove and TerraFlame brands and primarily offers indoor and outdoor firepits, stoves, and accessories, and Chubbies, which offers premium casual apparel and activewear. The remaining operating segments are included within the Corporate and All Other category. The CODM makes operating decisions, assesses financial performance, and allocates resources based upon discrete financial information at the reportable segment level.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we experienced a decrease in our net sales from $94.1 million and $311.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $53.0 million and $222.5 million, respectively. The decline in net sales, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the prior year periods, was primarily driven by the decline in DTC and retail channel net sales within the Solo Stove segment, with the nine month period being offset in part by an increase in net sales across both channels within the Chubbies segment. The Chubbies segment, while experiencing a decline in retail and relatively flat DTC channel net sales in the three months ended September 2025, continues to exceed the prior year period net sales in both channels on a year to date basis.
Economic Factors Affecting our Performance
Tariffs
We sell our products in the U.S. as well as various foreign countries, primarily Europe, Canada and Australia. We also have historically sourced and procured inventory primarily out of China and Vietnam, with some products sourced through Mexico. Tariffs on certain foreign origin goods, particularly from China, continue to put pressure on our input costs. As a result of higher tariffs and tariff uncertainty, in 2025, we diversified our supply base and began to place a higher volume of purchase orders from Vietnam and Cambodia, reducing our sourcing from China for Solo Stove and eliminating our sourcing from China almost entirely for Chubbies. Additionally, we closed and relocated the operations of a distribution center in Mexico to the U.S., in response to the repeal of the 321 Tariff Relief as of August 31, 2025. As a result of lower purchase volumes in the first half of 2025, we increased purchasing activity in the third quarter in anticipation of the holiday selling season. This led to higher tariff impacts on inventory reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and on cost of goods sold within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We expect inventory and costs of goods sold, on a per unit basis, to increase in future periods as a result of these tariffs, to the extent they remain effective. However, the proposed tariff reductions that are scheduled to go into effect on November 10, 2025 are anticipated to provide limited relief from the current tariffs. The tariff environment remains fluid and any expectations may be subject to change.
Our product lines involve production with steel manufactured outside the U.S., the target of recent tariff actions, impacting virtually all of our Solo Stove brand products. In addition, certain of our Oru and TerraFlame brands are manufactured in and distributed from Mexico. As such, they are subject to any applicable tariffs placed on goods imported from Mexico.
New or increased tariffs and retaliatory actions, if sustained, are expected to have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and margins and on the sales of our products outside the U.S. The strategies we have implemented and continue to implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions may not be successful. In addition, there can be no assurances that we will be able to pass any increased costs from tariffs on to our customers, that demand or profitability will not be materially adversely impacted, or that we will be successful in implementing efforts to mitigate the effect of tariffs on our business. Sourcing materials from domestic suppliers and manufacturing vendors or transitioning production to the U.S. would be a costly and lengthy process with uncertain results. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K, “Tariffs or other restrictions placed on foreign imports or any related counter-measures are taken by other countries harm our business and results of operations” and “Our products are manufactured by third parties outside of the United States, and our business may be harmed by legal, regulatory, economic, societal, and political risks associated with those markets.”
Tax Legislation
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 which includes, among other provisions, changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including the allowance of immediate expensing of qualifying research and development expenses and permanent extensions of certain provisions within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Certain provisions are effective beginning in 2026. We will continue to evaluate the future impact of these tax law changes on our financial statements; however, we believe that due to our sustained losses we will not realize a material benefit from these changes.
Current macroeconomic factors, including overall economic and political uncertainty, financial and capital markets instability, new or increasing tariffs, high interest rates and high inflation, remain very dynamic and highly uncertain. The effects of the macroeconomic environment could further reduce our net sales and negatively impact our gross margin, net income (loss) and cash flows.
Discussion within the relevant comparative periods and sections have been included below.
Key Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
2025 Restructuring Activity
To date in 2025, management, along with our Board of Directors, engaged strategic consulting firms to assist with improving the financial results of our operations. This operational improvement involved the engagement of restructuring, legal and investment banking consultants to perform financial planning, forecasting and project management activities. Certain of these strategic consulting firms assisted in developing operational plans for the near- and long-term, as well as having assisted and continuing to assist in identifying cost saving initiatives to reduce our operational expenses and aid in the development of enhanced internal reporting to deliver timely insight to management.
The cost saving initiatives identified and executed upon in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were designed to reduce operational expenditures over the long-term. The key cost saving initiatives and operational planning activities undertaken so far in 2025 were as follows:
•retention payments for key personnel to support the sustainment of operations and focus on cost saving and operational improvements;
•reduction in force (“RIF”) of management and non-management personnel in an effort to align headcount with the operational needs of the business, resulting in a moderate decline in related expenses in the short term, with the significance of the savings anticipated to be recognized in future periods;
•closure of two distribution centers in the first half of 2025, with the closure of a third in the third quarter of 2025, to reduce fixed costs in the short term and in future periods, as well as unnecessary capacity;
•termination of an underperforming licensing agreement in an effort to redeploy the allocated funds for operational purposes;
•renegotiated a settlement of a termination fee with a former advertising services vendor at a more favorable amount to the Company, reducing the cash outflow necessary;
•revision of pricing structure throughout our brands in order to mitigate, in part, the expected impacts of tariffs in subsequent periods; and
•reduction in marketing spend and promotional activity within the Solo Stove segment to better align product pricing with our retail partners.
While these activities are intended to provide future benefit to the Company, most of these activities required cash outlays in the current period, with certain additional cash outlays expected to occur throughout the remainder of 2025. In order to fund these cash outlays, the Company used cash from operations and borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). The following table outlines the cash outlays and the period in which they occurred.
| | | | | | | | |
| Activity | Cash Outlay (dollars in thousands) | Period |
Reduction in force | $ | 914 | | Fiscal year 2025 |
Closure of distribution centers | 976 | | Q1 & Q3 2025 |
Engagement of strategic consulting firms | 7,187 | | Fiscal year 2025 |
Retention payments to key personnel | 5,655 | | Q2 2025 |
We are evaluating and identifying additional cost saving initiatives that we may execute in the near term, with certain upfront costs to be reflected within restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges.
2024 Restructuring Activity
In 2024, the Company underwent significant changes to its management team, bringing about a change in strategic vision and evaluation of the Company’s initiatives and brands. The evaluation included analysis of the brand level financials, strengths of each of the brands, product design and customer service metrics, marketing campaign effectiveness and cost, efficiencies of brands on a standalone or aggregated basis, amongst other things. This evaluation, performed over the course of the nine months ended September 30, 2024, led the Company to undertake the following activities within the third quarter of 2024:
•terminated underperforming marketing agreements with marketing barter partners that no longer aligned with the Company’s current marketing strategy;
•charges related to the IcyBreeze reporting unit stemming from underperformance and management’s determination to revise product designs under the Solo Stove segment; and
•reorganized the Oru and ISLE reporting units to eliminate costs and capitalize on potential synergies, through restructuring under a revised management structure.
In order to fund the cash outlays required for these initiatives, the Company leveraged income from operations and draws on the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. The following table outlines the cash outlays and the period in which they occurred.
| | | | | | | | |
| Activity | Cash Outlay (dollars in thousands) | Period |
Termination of marketing agreements | $ | 9,000 | | Q4 2024 |
| Reorganization of the Oru and ISLE Reporting Units | 349 | | Q4 2024 |
Wind-down of the Operations of the IcyBreeze Reporting Unit | 205 | | Q3 - Q4 2024 |
Discussion within the relevant comparative periods and sections have been included below.
Consolidated Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Consolidated Net Sales
Net sales are comprised of DTC and retail channel sales to retail partners. Net sales in both channels reflect the impact of partial shipments, product returns, and discounts for certain sales programs or promotions.
Our net sales have historically included a seasonal component. In the DTC channel, our historical net sales tend to be highest in our second and fourth quarters, while our retail channel has generated higher sales in the first and third quarters. Additionally, we expect variances in our net sales throughout the year relative to the timing of new product launches.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Change |
| (dollars in thousands) | 2025 | | 2024 | | $ | | % |
Net sales | $ | 53,038 | | | $ | 94,139 | | | $ | (41,101) | | | (43.7) | % |
| Direct-to-consumer net sales | 42,027 | | | 64,480 | | | (22,453) | | | (34.8) | % |
| Retail net sales | 11,011 | | | 29,659 | | | (18,648) | | | (62.9) | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| (dollars in thousands) | 2025 | | 2024 | | $ | | % |
Net sales | $ | 222,547 | | | $ | 311,013 | | | $ | (88,466) | | | (28.4) | % |
| Direct-to-consumer net sales | 135,493 | | | 214,293 | | | (78,800) | | | (36.8) | % |
| Retail net sales | 87,054 | | | 96,720 | | | (9,666) | | | (10.0) | % |
The decrease in net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decline in net sales within the Solo Stove segment, the result of our retail partners reducing excess inventory and our resetting promotional activity across retail and DTC channels. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the prior year period, these declines in both DTC and retail channels within the Solo Stove segment were offset, in part, by an increase in net sales across both channels within the Chubbies segment driven by sustained consumer demand within the DTC sales channel and continued growth with retail strategic partnerships, respectively.
Consolidated Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit reflects net sales less cost of goods sold, which primarily 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 and depreciation on molds and equipment that we own.

Gross profit | 31,846 | | 39,319 | | (7,473) | | | (19.0) | % |
Gross margin (Gross profit as a % of net sales)(1) | 60.0 | % | | 41.8 | % | | | | 1,820 | |

Gross profit | 131,050 | | 172,500 | | (41,450) | | | (24.0) | % |
Gross margin (Gross profit as a % of net sales)(1) | 58.9 | % | | 55.5 | % | | | | 340 | |
(1) Change in gross margin period over period in basis points
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company wrote down $18.7 million of inventory and related purchase orders of the IcyBreeze reporting unit as part of the restructuring, contract termination and impairment charge activity. This write down was reflected in cost of goods sold, resulting in both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 gross margins being negatively impacted.
Cost of goods sold, when including or excluding the write down of inventory and purchase orders described above, decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year periods, in connection with the decline in net sales, while gross margin increased for each respective period.
Consolidated Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of (1) selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, (2) restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges, (3) depreciation and amortization expenses and (4) other operating expenses, as defined below.
•Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses - SG&A expenses consist primarily of marketing costs, wages, equity-based compensation expense, benefits costs, costs of our warehousing and logistics operations, costs of operating on third-party DTC marketplaces, professional fees and services, costs of shipping product to our customers and general corporate expenses.
•Depreciation and Amortization Expenses - Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of definite-lived intangible assets.
•Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges - Restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges consist of severance and employee-related benefits, contract termination fees and asset impairment charges.
•Other Operating Expenses - Other operating expenses include certain costs incurred as a result of being a public company, acquisition-related expenses, business optimization and expansion expenses and management transition costs, including severance.

| Other operating expenses | 4,397 | | | 8,688 | | | (4,291) | | | (49.4) | % |
The decrease in operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges, as a result of non-recurring impairment charges to both goodwill and intangible assets, net and non-recurring terminations of underperforming marketing agreements, offset in part by the current period activity discussed in Note 2, Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, SG&A experienced a significant decline for both three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the prior year periods, as a result of a significant decrease in advertising and marketing expenses, coupled with a decrease in distribution costs resulting from the decline in DTC net sales.
Additionally, a decrease was realized in other operating expenses, as a result of a reduction in management transition costs consisting of severance for key management personnel, including additional cost associated with onboarding senior leadership positions, and strategic consulting engagements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the prior year period, this decrease was offset in part by the loss recognized from the disposition of the TerraFlame manufacturing operations, in the second quarter of 2025. See Note 17, Variable Interest Entities for additional information regarding the partial disposition.
Consolidated Interest Expense
Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest on our revolving credit facilities and term loans.

Interest expense, net increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to a higher average debt balance and higher average interest rates. Interest rates under the 2025 Refinancing Agreement are higher than those previously incurred, which has resulted in the weighted average interest rates on the 2025 Term Loan and 2025 Revolving Credit Facility to be in excess of prior periods.

The decrease in net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by timing of retail channel net sales, with retail channel replenishments occurring in the second quarter this year compared to the third quarter of 2024. DTC net sales were essentially flat year over year, supported by sustained consumer demand.
The increase in net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by increases within the retail net sales channel as a result of continued growth within our retail strategic partnerships, coupled with the ongoing ability to identify and meet consumer demands within the DTC net sales channel, with both website and owned retail store performance exceeding the prior year to date period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our cash requirements have principally been for working capital purposes and acquisitions. In the short-term, our cash requirements are for working capital and payment of restructuring and other fees. We expect these and other cash needs to continue as we seek to improve, develop and transform our business. We fund our working capital, which is primarily comprised of inventory and accounts payable, and other cash requirements from cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, and borrowings under our 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. Our cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility are our principal sources of liquidity. Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from the sales of our portfolio of products. Our future product sales and our cash flows are difficult to predict, and actual sales may not be in line with our forecasts.
We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and overnight sweep accounts with major, highly-rated multi-national and local financial institutions, and our deposits at these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions, and any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position.
The table below reflects our sources, facilities and availability of liquidity as of September 30, 2025. See below for details on our outstanding debt balance as of September 30, 2025.

We are required to meet a Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA floor of $25 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. In addition, the Company must comply with other financial covenants under the 2025 Refinancing Amendment (as defined below), including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum liquidity amount, with the first full measurement period for such financial covenants to occur in the third quarter of 2026, as well as other non-financial covenants. While the 2025 Refinancing Amendment included amended financial covenants, as described in further detail below and in Note 11, Debt, Net, we expect to be in compliance with such covenants and believe our cash, cash equivalents and cash from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our obligations for at least the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.
If we fail to realize the expected benefits from our cost saving and operational improvement initiatives, if our liquidity condition deteriorates, or if we pursue potential growth opportunities that are not successful, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted and could result in the violation of our financial and nonfinancial covenants, which may require us to seek additional funds from issuances of equity or debt, including from additional credit facilities or loans from other sources. There is no guarantee that such sources will be available when needed, or at all.
Revolving Credit Facilities and Term Loans
On May 12, 2021, we entered into the Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Lenders and L/C Issuers party thereto (each as defined therein) and the other parties thereto. The Credit Agreement was subsequently amended on June 2, 2021, September 1, 2021, May 22, 2023 and most recently by the 2025 Refinancing Amendment. Initially, the credit agreement contemplated a revolving credit facility (the “2021 Revolving Credit Facility”), with the amendment on September 1, 2021 including a provision to borrow up to $100.0 million under a term loan (the “2021 Term Loan”) which was in addition to the available capacity on the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.
On June 13, 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to Security Agreement (the “2025 Refinancing Amendment”), which effected a reallocation and restructuring of all revolving loans and term loans then outstanding and the waiver of certain then existing events of default. The 2025 Refinancing Amendment resulted in decreased outstanding debt, extended maturities, lower short-term cash requirements as a result of our ability to make certain interest payments in kind, and deferral with respect to compliance with certain financial covenants for a certain period of time, as further described below. As a result, the 2025 Refinancing Amendment provided us with financial flexibility and a longer runway to continue our efforts to stabilize and transform the business. Following the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, our plans continue to be focused on improving our financial results and liquidity through a variety of cost saving and operational improvements throughout 2025 and beyond as further discussed in Note 2, Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges.
After giving effect to the loan reallocation and restructuring effected pursuant to the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, the credit facilities evidenced by the Amended Credit Agreement consist of the following: (i) revolving commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount equal to $90.0 million (the “2025 Revolving Credit Facility”); and (ii) refinancing term loans, including the 2021 Term Loan (the “2025 Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $240.0 million. The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility also includes the ability to issue up to $20.0 million in letters of credit, with $3.7 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2025. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility, it does reduce the amounts available under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility.
In connection with the entry into the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we paid down (i) $136.5 million of loans under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) $32.5 million of 2021 Term Loan outstanding as of June 13, 2025.
Under the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, the maturity date of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2025 Term Loan is June 30, 2028. We are required to make mandatory amortization payments on the 2025 Term Loan as follows: (a) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2026, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Term Loan as of June 13, 2025 multiplied by 0.25% and (b) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2027, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Term Loan as of June 13, 2025 multiplied by 1.00%.
Each of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2025 Term Loan bear interest at (depending on our election from time to time) either an adjusted term rate defined in the agreement based on SOFR or the base rate defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, each plus an applicable margin. The interest is payable in kind, and thus capitalized thereon and increasing the principal balance thereof, (i) on a quarterly basis through March 31, 2026, and (ii) for the period beginning on April 1, 2026 and ending on March 31, 2027 and for which availability under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility is less than $20.0 million, upon our election, after which time, it is only payable in cash. The unfunded portion of the commitments under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility will accrue an annual commitment fee.
The 2025 Refinancing Amendment also requires the Company to comply with additional reporting requirements, including, among others, (i) delivering on the date that is twenty (20) days after the end of the previous calendar month (or thirty-five (35) days for the borrowing base certificate and accounts and inventory report due for the months ended May 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, and July 31, 2025), (a) a borrowing base certificate calculating the borrowing base and availability under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility, (b) a 13-week cash flow forecast for the Company and its
subsidiaries, (c) a liquidity report, and (d) an accounts and inventory report; and (ii) delivering no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the previous calendar month (commencing for the month ending June 30, 2025), a key performance indicator report and certain additional reports on the Company’s operating plan and other measures, such as Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the 2025 Refinancing Amendment extends the delivery dates for quarterly financial statement deliverables to sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter.
In addition, pursuant to the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, we are required to comply with the following financial covenants: (a) a maximum Total Leverage Ratio, which is tested on a quarterly basis, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2026, (b) a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which is tested on a quarterly basis, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2026, (c) a $10.0 million average minimum liquidity covenant for the first three calendar months of each fiscal year and a $20 million average minimum liquidity covenant for the last nine calendar months of each fiscal year, which in each case, is tested on a monthly basis, commencing with the fiscal month ending on July 31, 2026; and (d) a minimum Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA covenant of $25 million for the four fiscal quarter period ending on December 31, 2025.

Financing activities | 66,775 | | | 6,812 | | | 59,963 | | | (880.3) | % |
Operating activities
The $50.5 million increase in cash used in operating activities period over period, was due to a $16.1 million increase in cash usage from changes in operating assets and liabilities (“working capital”), which was primarily driven by an increase in cash usage in the first and second quarters of 2025 for accounts payable as of December 31, 2024, mostly related to inventory purchases and marketing expenses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2024, offset in part by the reduction in replenishment of inventory as we focus on prudent management of our inventory balances in the 2025 period. The increase in changes in working capital was coupled with an increase in cash usage of $34.5 million from changes in net income (loss) after non-cash adjustments, driven by a decline in our operations, primarily net sales, reflected through changes in net income (loss).
Investing activities
The $1.9 million decrease in cash used in investing activities in the current period when compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a decline in the number of retail store openings within our Chubbies Segment in the current year when compared to the prior, with just one store opening as of September 30, 2025 and six store openings as of September 30, 2024.
Financing activities
The $60.0 million increase in cash provided by financing activities in the current period when compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by a $58.2 million increase in cash provided by net debt activity, inclusive of borrowings, repayments and debt issuance costs in relation to the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, offset in part by a $2.5 million payment in connection with the disposition of the TerraFlame manufacturing operations.
Contractual Obligations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the obligation to pay a former vendor a $5.4 million payment, plus applicable interest in periods beyond January 1, 2025, as a result of terminating an agreement for advertising services in a prior period, as previously disclosed within our 2024 Form 10-K, was settled for an aggregate amount of $4.0 million. The gain recognized from the reduced settlement was recorded to restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
For information regarding our contractual obligations, see above under “Revolving Credit Facilities and Term Loans,” Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, Note 11, Debt, Net and Note 17, Variable Interest Entities in this Quarterly Report and Note 14, Leases and Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We re-evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results may differ from these estimates and could differ based upon other assumptions or conditions.
See Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K for more information about our significant accounting policies, including our critical accounting policies. The critical accounting estimates that reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are described in Part II, Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2024 Form 10-K. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K. Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a description of recent accounting pronouncements, see “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” and “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—Not Yet Adopted” in Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
JOBS Act
We currently qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Accordingly, we are provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. Until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act, we have elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as private companies, unless management determines it is preferable to take advantage of early adoption provisions offered within the applicable guidance. Our utilization of these transition periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the transition periods afforded under the JOBS Act.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk
We have a long-term credit facility and separate term loan that bear variable interest rates based on prime, federal funds, or SOFR plus an applicable margin based on our total net leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2025, we had indebtedness of $247.1 million, with an annualized rate of interest of 8.38%, under our 2025 Term Loan, with no current indebtedness under our 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, we have not entered into any interest rate swap contracts. A 100 bps increase in SOFR would increase our interest expense by approximately $2.5 million in any given year.
Inflation Risk
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our products and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales, if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.
Commodity Price Risk
The majority of the commodities, components, parts, and accessories used in our manufacturing process, as well as finished goods, are exposed to commodity cost changes. These changes may be affected by several factors, including, for example, demand; inflation; deflation; changing prices; foreign currency fluctuations; tariffs; duties; trade regulatory actions; industry actions; and changes to international trade policies, agreements, and/or regulation, including antidumping and countervailing duties on certain products imported from foreign countries; and competitor activity.
Our primary cost exposures for commodities, components, parts, and accessories used in our products are with stainless steel and aluminum. We believe these materials are readily available from multiple vendors. Certain of these products use petroleum or natural gas as inputs. However, we do not believe there is a significant direct correlation between petroleum or natural gas prices and the costs of our products. The U.S. government has and potentially will continue to impose tariffs on certain foreign goods, particularly steel and aluminum, as well as goods from China. In any given period, we strategically attempt to mitigate potentially unfavorable impacts as a result of changes to the cost of commodities, components, parts, and accessories that affect our product lines through the following initiatives: collaboration with suppliers, reviewing alternative sourcing options, engaging in internal cost reduction efforts, and utilizing tariff exclusions and duty drawback mechanisms, all as appropriate. We do not currently hedge commodity price risk. When appropriate, we may also increase prices on some of our products to offset changes in the cost of commodities, components, parts, and accessories. To the extent that commodity and component costs increase and we do not have firm pricing from our suppliers, or our suppliers are not able to honor such prices, and/or our initiatives and/or product price increases are less effective than anticipated and/or do not fully offset cost increases, we may experience a decline in our revenues and/or gross margins, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our international sales are primarily denominated in local currencies. During both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, net sales in international markets accounted for 7.3% and 7.5% of our consolidated net sales. Therefore, we do not believe exposure to foreign currency fluctuations had a material impact on our net sales. A portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the United States and are denominated in foreign currencies, which are also subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, our suppliers may incur many costs, including labor costs, in other currencies. To the extent that exchange rates move unfavorably for our suppliers, they may seek to pass these additional costs on to us, which could have a material impact on our gross margin. In addition, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar may increase the cost of our products to our customers outside of the United States. Our operating results and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A 100 bps unfavorable change in foreign currency exchange rates to which we are exposed would increase our operating expenses and decrease our net sales by $0.1 million, respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below and in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Material Weakness
A “material weakness” is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting was identified for the aggregation of control deficiencies over segregation of duties, information technology change management, and resource constraints in the Company’s accounting function to address changes in the business in the fourth quarter of 2024. In management’s view, individually, the potential impacts of these control deficiencies did not present a risk of material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements, however, when aggregated as of December 31, 2024, the potential for a material misstatement in the financial statements increased to a sufficient level to be deemed a material weakness.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we continued to work to (i) identify key systems, processes and controls that require improved documentation, (ii) identify segregation of duties conflicts to remove inappropriate access to systems, (iii) develop policies and procedures to govern the areas of information technology change management, (iv) increase the training of accounting and finance staff in relevant areas, (v) distinguish areas with significant risks posed by resource constraints and augmentation of these areas with qualified and experienced external resources, and (vi) launch enterprise wide system implementation projects. While progress was made to remediate the material weakness, as of September 30, 2025, we remained in the process of developing and implementing these enhanced processes and procedures and testing the operating effectiveness of these improved controls. We continue to devote significant time and attention to these efforts. In addition, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial processes and procedures have been in place for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We continue to work to remediate our material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described above. Other than such ongoing remediation efforts, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Information on the Company’s legal proceedings is set forth under Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings” in our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the legal proceedings as described in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference. Such risks could materially affect our business, financial condition, and future results and are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K other than the below.
Our financial condition previously raised and may in the future raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of the filing date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we concluded that substantial doubt existed about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of each of the financial statements as a result of our net losses, accumulated deficit and our liquidity position, as well as our noncompliance with certain financial covenants under our Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025 and the potential consequences thereof. On June 13, 2025, we entered into the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, which effected a reallocation and restructuring of all revolving loans and term loans then outstanding as of such date and the waiver of certain then existing events of default. See Note 11, Debt, Net for more information about the 2025 Refinancing Amendment.
Although we cannot predict with certainty all of our particular short-term cash uses or the timing or amount of cash requirements, management has concluded that the conditions that raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern have been alleviated, as further discussed in Note 2, Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges. However, our recurring losses, negative cash flow and the uncertainties surrounding our ability to execute and to realize the expected benefits from our cost saving and operational improvement initiatives, could impact our future profitability and liquidity, which could in the future raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to execute our operating plan as currently intended and require us to seek additional financing or additional relief from our creditors. Additional financing, whether in the form of equity or debt, may not be available to us on acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, or if the terms of potential funding sources are unfavorable, our business would be materially harmed. Furthermore, any new equity we issue, similar to the shares of Class A common stock that were issued in connection with the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, will likely result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we could have to liquidate our assets, and potentially realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our financial statements, or commence proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and, in such cases, stockholders could lose all or part of their investment. If we were required to file to commence proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, our operations and ability to develop and execute our business plan, and our ability to continue as a going concern, are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. As such, filing for Chapter 11 would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
Additionally, our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Thus, our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The ultimate effect of the reverse stock split and the removal of the trading suspension of our Class A common stock on the NYSE on the market price and liquidity of our Class A common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty.
We effected a 1-for-40 reverse stock split with respect to our Class A and Class B common stock on July 8, 2025. The reverse stock split was effected as a means of regaining compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE. On April 22, 2025, the NYSE notified us, and publicly announced, that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist our Class A common stock as a result of the Company’s non-compliance with Rule 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual due to the Class A common stock trading at “abnormally low price” levels and that trading in the Class A common stock was suspended immediately. On May 29, 2025, the NYSE notified the Company, and publicly announced, that the Company was also not in compliance with Rule 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual due to a determination that the Company’s average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period had fallen below $15,000,000. Following the reverse stock split and maintenance of the required average market capitalization, the NYSE determined that we had regained compliance with NYSE’s listing standards and reinstated trading in the Class A common stock on July 18, 2025. However, the ultimate effect of the reverse stock split on the market price of our Class A common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will result in any or all of the expected benefits, including enabling the Company to continue to maintain compliance with NYSE listing standards, for any meaningful period of time, or at all.
While the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock as a result of the reverse stock split increased the market price of our Class A common stock immediately following the reverse stock split, we cannot assure you such increase will be permanent or sustained. The market price of our Class A common stock depends on multiple factors, many of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including
our business and financial performance, general market conditions and prospects for future success, any of which could have a counteracting effect to the reverse stock split on the per share price.
In addition, the reverse stock split reduced the total number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock, which leads to reduced trading volumes for our Class A common stock and may lead to a more volatile trading price. The reverse stock split also increased the number of stockholders who own “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Class A common stock. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares of common stock (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own fewer than 100 shares of Class A common stock following the reverse stock split may be required to pay higher transaction costs if they sell their Class A common stock.
Finally, a decline in the per share price of our Class A common stock and a decline in our overall market capitalization may be greater following the reverse stock split than would have been in the absence of the same. Any reduction in our market capitalization may be magnified as a result of the smaller number of total shares of Class A common stock outstanding following the reverse stock split.
If in the future, the trading price of our Class A common stock is lower than the minimum bid price pursuant to NYSE rules, pursuant to Rule 802.01 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, we will be restricted from implementing a further reverse stock split in order to regain compliance with such standards for one year from the effective date of the reverse stock split. As a result, we may not be able to remediate any future non-compliance and our Class A common stock could be delisted from NYSE.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class A common stock. In addition, shares of Class A common stock that are either subject to outstanding options or reserved for future issuance under our employee benefit plans will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules, Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).
In June 2025, we entered into a subscription agreement with certain lenders in connection with our entry into the 2025 Refinancing Amendment, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 121,998 shares of our Class A common stock (giving effect to the reverse stock split). Even though these shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 and may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws, once those requirements are satisfied, these shares could be sold in the market at any time. If these additional shares of Class A common stock are resold, or if it is perceived that they will be resold, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline.
In addition, the issuance of these shares of Class A common stock have diluted, and any shares of Class A common stock we may in the future issue may dilute, the percentage ownership held by holders of our Class A common stock.
