Solo Brands, Inc. (NYSE: DTC) (“Solo Brands” or “the Company”), a direct-to-consumer platform for rapidly growing lifestyle brands, today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2022.
First Quarter 2022 Highlights Compared to First Quarter 20211
- Net sales of $82.2 million, up $13.1 million or 19.0%
- Net loss of $3.2 million, down $25.5 million
- EPS - basic and diluted of $(0.03) for the first quarter of 2022
- Adjusted net income2 of $11.1 million, down $15.7 million, or 58.7%
- Adjusted EBITDA2 of $14.0 million, down $14.6 million, or 51.1%
- Adjusted EPS2 of $0.19 for the first quarter of 2022
“Despite a challenging macro environment and difficult year ago comparisons, we generated a 19% increase in sales during the first quarter, including the effect of acquisitions. We were pleased with the strong momentum in our wholesale channel and are leaning into this demand,” said John Merris, CEO of Solo Brands. “Looking ahead, we are excited about the continued opportunity for organic growth and strong pipeline of innovative products we plan to roll out in the second half of the year.”
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 20221
Net sales increased 19.0% to $82.2 million, compared to $69.1 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by the acquisitions and strong wholesale results as the direct-to-consumer channel completed its most difficult comparisons for the year. These increases were partially offset by year on year changes in deferred revenue. The first quarter of 2021 reflected an increase in revenue recognized related to an inflated deferred revenue balance at the end of 2020 due to supply chain disruptions.
- Direct-to-consumer revenues decreased 3.3% to $60.2 million compared to $62.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.
- Wholesale revenues increased 223.6% to $22.0 million compared to $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Gross profit increased 5.1% to $48.9 million, compared to $46.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted gross profit2 increased 16.6% to $55.0 million compared to $47.1 million in the same period of the prior year, reflecting the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to the transactions. Gross margin decreased 7.9% to 59.4%. Adjusted gross margin2 decreased to 66.9% compared to 68.2% in the same period in 2021 due to increased freight rates and higher logistics costs.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $45.6 million, compared to $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. $12.4 million of the increase was due to the acquisitions. Additionally, SG&A increased by $6.7 million in employee costs as a result of equity-based compensation and increased headcount and a $3.4 million increase in advertising and marketing spend. The remaining increase in SG&A was primarily related to smaller increases including the following: professional services primarily as a result of the audit of the 2021 Form 10-K, rent as a result of a new global headquarters facility, insurance as a result of becoming a public company, and seller fees.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $5.9 million compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in amortization expense of $1.6 million to $5.3 million driven by increases in definite-lived intangible assets as a result of the acquisitions.
Loss per Class A common stock basic and diluted is $(0.03). A comparison to the same period last year is not meaningful or comparable due to the reorganization transactions which occurred in 2021. Refer to the footnote in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations for more information.
Adjusted EPS2 Our weighted average basic and diluted shares were 63,400,772. Our adjusted EPS for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.19.
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter totaled $15.9 million, compared to $25.1 million at December 31, 2021.
Outstanding borrowings were $52.5 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $98.8 million under the Term Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2022. The borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility was $350 million as of March 31, 2022, leaving $297.5 million of availability.
Inventory at the end of the first quarter was $126.5 million, compared to $102.3 million at December 31, 2021. We are pleased with the level and quality of our inventory as we move into our historical second largest selling season of the year in the second quarter. In addition, in light of global pressures on supply chain, including rising freight costs, our increase in inventory reflects a strong inventory position across brands that we are confident is sufficient to meet demand and position us to deliver on our goal of amazing customer experiences.
Guidance
Our guidance reflects our best estimate of the business as we see it today. Accordingly, we reaffirm our guidance for the year as follows:
Guidance for Full Fiscal Year 2022
Total revenue is expected to be between $540 million to $570 million.
Adjusted EBITDA* is expected to be between $121 million to $132 million.
The Company’s full fiscal year 2022 guidance is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.
* The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income within this press release because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. These items include, but are not limited to, equity-based compensation with respect to future grants and forfeitures, which could materially affect the computation of forward-looking GAAP net income, and are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control.
1 The operating results in the three month period ended March 31, 2022 include the activity of Oru, ISLE, and Chubbies post-acquisition. The operating results of these acquisitions were not included in our financial results in the three month period ended March 31, 2021.
2 This release includes references to non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” later in this release for the definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures presented and a reconciliation of these measures to their closest comparable GAAP measures.

The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for the periods prior to the reorganization transactions and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these unaudited consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per unit information has not been presented for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods. We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, and adjusted EPS non-GAAP financial measures, because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures principally as measures of our operating performance and believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to our investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. Our management also uses these non-GAAP measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections.
None of these non-GAAP measures is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of our liquidity or operating performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and are not indicative of net income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under U.S. GAAP. In addition, the exclusion of certain gains or losses in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual or infrequent as they may recur in the future, nor should it be construed that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using these measures to evaluate our liquidity or financial performance. Some of these limitations are as follows:
These non-GAAP measures exclude certain tax payments that may require a reduction in cash available to us; do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures (including capitalized software developmental costs) or contractual commitments; do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; exclude certain purchase accounting adjustments related to acquisitions; and exclude equity-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
In addition, other companies may define and calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than us, thereby limiting the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as a comparative tool. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial performance measures.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin
We calculate adjusted gross profit as gross profit excluding the fair value write-up of inventory as a result of the change in control transaction in 2020 and the Oru, ISLE, and Chubbies acquisitions. We calculate adjusted gross profit margin as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales.
Adjusted Net Income
We calculate adjusted net income as net income (loss) excluding inventory fair value write-up, amortization of intangible assets, incentive unit and equity-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs, business optimization expenses, one-time transaction costs, business expansion expenses, management transition costs, and the tax impact of these adjusting items.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expenses, adjusted to exclude inventory fair value write-up, incentive unit and equity-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs, business optimization expenses, one-time transaction costs, management transition costs, and business expansion expenses. We calculate adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
Adjusted EPS
We calculate adjusted EPS as adjusted net income, as defined above, divided by weighted average diluted shares as calculated under U.S. GAAP.

The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for the periods prior to the 2021 reorganization transactions and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per unit information has not been presented for the period ended March 31, 2021. |
|
(1) |
Represents the fair market value write-up of inventory accounted for under ASC 805 related to the acquisitions and the 2020 change in control transaction. |
|
(2) |
Represents employee compensation expense associated with equity-based awards. This includes expense associated with the incentive unit awards as well as awards issued on and subsequent to the IPO including options and restricted stock units. |
|
(3) |
Represents expenses that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations, primarily warehouse and employee transition costs associated with the acquisitions. |
|
(4) |
Represents transaction costs primarily related to professional service fees incurred in connection with the IPO. |
|
(5) |
Represents costs primarily related to recruiting senior level management including a new CFO. |
|
(6) |
Represents various start-up and transition costs, including warehouse optimization charges associated with new global headquarters infrastructure with new and expanded distribution facilities in Texas, Pennsylvania, and the Netherlands. |
|
(7) |
Represents costs for expansion into new international and domestic markets. |
|
(8) |
Represents the tax impact of adjustments calculated at the federal statutory rate of 21% less the portion of the tax impact of the adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests. We calculated the tax impact of the adjusting items in the three month period ended March 31, 2022, as we were a limited liability company. We were not subject to corporate income taxes in the three month period ended March 31, 2021. |
