Reaffirms Full Year 2023 Guidance
Solo Brands, Inc. (NYSE: DTC) (“Solo Brands” or “the Company”) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.
First Quarter 2023 Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2022
- Net sales of $88.2 million, up $6.0 million or 7.3%
- Net income of $0.9 million, up $4.2 million or 128.8%
- Income (loss) per Class A common stock - basic and diluted of $0.01, up $0.04
- Net cash provided by operating activities of $14.7 million, up $40.2 million or 157.6%
- Free cash flow(1) of $12.9 million, up $40.1 million or 147.4%
- Adjusted net income(1) of $10.3 million, down $0.7 million or 6.5%
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $15.4 million, up $1.4 million or 10.0%
- Adjusted EPS(1) of $0.16 per diluted share, down $0.03
“We are extremely pleased with our first quarter results. We generated solid gross profit and healthy adjusted EBITDA margins, all while making strategic investments in our business,” said John Merris, CEO of Solo Brands, “In an uncertain and volatile macro environment, we remain focused on innovating and delivering great products that create meaningful experiences for customers. We will maintain our disciplined approach to financial management, which positions us to generate healthy growth, positive free cash flow, and strong returns on capital for our shareholders.”
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Net sales increased 7.3% to $88.2 million compared to $82.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by new strategic partnerships and continued market penetration within the wholesale sales channel.
- Wholesale revenues increased 52.3% to $33.5 million compared to $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2022.
- Direct-to-consumer revenues decreased 9.1% to $54.8 million compared to $60.2 million in the first quarter of 2022.
Gross profit increased 11.4% to $54.4 million compared to $48.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to the increase in net sales, which outpaced the increase in cost of goods sold. Adjusted gross profit(1) decreased 1.0% to $54.4 million compared to $55.0 million in the same period of the prior year, reflecting the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to acquired businesses. Gross margin increased 2.3% to 61.7% due to less promotional pricing within the direct-to-consumer channel.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to $44.6 million compared to $45.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was driven by a $5.4 million decrease in variable costs, partially offset by $4.3 million of higher fixed costs. The variable cost decrease was primarily due to lower marketing and distribution expenses. The fixed cost increase was primarily due to increased employee-related costs as a result of increased headcount and higher rent.
Income (loss) per Class A common stock basic and diluted per share was $0.01 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $(0.03) for the first quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.16 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $0.19 for the first quarter of 2022.
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents were $25.7 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $23.3 million at December 31, 2022.
Outstanding borrowings were $15.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $95.0 million under the Term Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2023. The borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility was $350.0 million as of March 31, 2023, leaving $335.0 million of availability.
Inventory was $125.0 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $133.0 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in inventory is due to prudent inventory management resulting in lower replenishments following the peak season in the fourth quarter.
Full Year 2023 Guidance
We are reaffirming our guidance for 2023 as follows:
Total revenue is expected to be between $520 million to $540 million for 2023. In the current environment, we are currently forecasting to the midpoint of the range.
Adjusted EBITDA margin* is expected to be between 16.5% to 17.5% for 2023.
The Company’s full year 2023 guidance is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change, 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 margin to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) margin as a percent of net sales, respectively, within this press release because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. With respect to GAAP net income (loss) margin, 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. |

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 gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, free cash flow, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin 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 recognition of the fair value write-ups of inventory as a result of the Oru, ISLE, and Chubbies acquisitions. We calculate adjusted gross profit margin as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales.
Free Cash Flow
We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures.
Adjusted Net Income
We calculate adjusted net income as net income (loss) excluding impairment charges, amortization of intangible assets, equity-based compensation expense, inventory fair value write-ups, acquisition-related costs, severance expense, one-time transaction costs, business optimization expenses, management transition costs, business expansion expenses and the tax impact of these adjusting items.
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.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expenses, impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, inventory fair value write-ups, acquisition-related costs, severance expense, one-time transaction costs, business optimization expenses, management transition costs and business expansion expenses. We calculate adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
