FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) of Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Shoals”) contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations; expectations regarding the utility scale solar market; project delays; regulatory environment; pipeline and orders; business strategies; technology developments; financing and investment plans; warranty, litigation and liability accruals and estimates of loss or gains; litigation strategy and expected benefits or results from the current intellectual property and wire insulation shrinkback (as defined below) litigation; competitive position; potential growth opportunities, including international growth, production and capacity at our plants; and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other 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. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this report. You should read this report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations are included in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Part I and Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part II of this Form 10-Q, as well as Part I Item 1A “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include the following:
if demand for solar energy projects does not continue to grow or grows at a slower rate than we anticipate, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business will suffer;
if we fail to accurately estimate the potential losses related to the wire insulation shrinkback matter, or fail to recover the costs and expenses incurred by us from the supplier, our profit margins, financial results, business and prospects could be materially adversely impacted;
defects or performance problems in our products or their parts, including those related to the wire insulation shrinkback matter, could result in loss of customers, reputational damage and decreased revenue, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
we may experience delays, disruptions, quality control or reputational problems in our manufacturing operations in part due to our vendor concentration;
if we or our suppliers face disputes with labor unions, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business could suffer;
if we fail to retain our key personnel and attract additional qualified personnel, or successfully integrate our new Chief Executive Officer, our business strategy and prospects could suffer;
our products are primarily manufactured and shipped from our production facilities in Tennessee, and any damage or disruption at these facilities may harm our business;
iv

we may face difficulties with respect to the planned consolidation and relocation of our Tennessee-based manufacturing and distribution operations, and may not realize the benefits thereof;
unsatisfactory safety performance may subject us to penalties, negatively impact customer relationships, result in higher operating costs, and negatively impact employee morale and turnover;
the market for our products is competitive, and we may face increased competition as new and existing competitors introduce EBOS system solutions and components, which could negatively affect our results of operations and market share;
current macroeconomic events, including high inflation, high interest rates, a potential recession and geopolitical instability could impact our business and financial results;
our industry has historically been cyclical and experienced periodic downturns;
the interruption of the flow of raw materials from international vendors has disrupted our supply chain, including as a result of the imposition of additional duties, tariffs and other charges on imports and exports;
we are subject to risks associated with legal proceedings and claims, including the patent infringement complaints that we filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) and two District Courts, the securities litigation initiated in March 2024, and other legal proceedings and claims, which may or may not arise in the normal course of our business;
if we fail to, or incur significant costs in order to, obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, including those that are subject to the patent infringement complaints we filed with the ITC and two District Courts, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed;
acquisitions, joint ventures and/or investments and the failure to integrate acquired businesses, could disrupt our business and/or dilute or adversely affect the price of our common stock;
our future growth in the EV charging market is highly dependent on the demand for, and consumers’ willingness to adopt, EVs, as well as on the actions of federal, foreign, state and local governments;
a loss of one or more of our significant customers, their inability to perform under their contracts, or their default in payment could harm our business and negatively impact revenue, results of operations, and cash flow;
a significant drop in the price of electricity sold may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects;
a further increase in interest rates or a reduction in the availability of tax incentives or project debt capital in the global financial markets could make it difficult for end customers to finance the cost of a solar energy system and could reduce the demand for our products;
our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations, resulting in a decline in the price of our Class A common stock;
failure to effectively utilize information technology systems or implement new technologies and the unauthorized disclosure of personal or sensitive data or confidential information, whether through a breach of our computer system or otherwise, could severely disrupt our business or reduce our sales or profitability;
v

compromises, interruptions or shutdowns of our information technology systems, including those managed by third parties, whether intentional or inadvertent, could lead to delays in our business operations and, if significant or extreme, affect our results of operations;
our expansion outside the U.S. could subject us to additional business, financial, regulatory and competitive risks;
our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial flexibility and our competitive position;
our indebtedness may restrict our current and future operations, which could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes in our business and to manage our operations;
developments in alternative technologies may have a material adverse effect on demand for our offerings;
amounts included in our backlog and awarded orders may not result in actual revenue or translate into profits;
existing electric utility industry, renewable energy and solar energy policies and regulations, and any subsequent changes, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems that may significantly reduce demand for our products or harm our ability to compete;
changes in the U.S. trade environment, including the imposition of trade restrictions, import tariffs, anti-dumping and countervailing duties could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenue, results of operations or cash flows;
changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects;
we cannot assure you that the price of our Class A common stock will not decline or not be subject to significant volatility;
future sales, or the perception of future sales, by us in the public market could cause the market price for our Class A common stock to decline;
provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management;
our certificate of incorporation also provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees;
we do not intend to pay any cash distributions or dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future;
we face risks related to actual or threatened health epidemics or pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; and
if we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business.

1.    Organization and Business
Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on November 4, 2020 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering and other related organizational transactions to carry on the business of Shoals Parent LLC and its subsidiaries (“Shoals Parent LLC”). Shoals Parent LLC was a Delaware limited liability company.
The Company is headquartered in Portland, Tennessee and is a manufacturer of electrical balance of systems (“EBOS”) solutions and components for solar, battery storage and electric vehicle charging applications, selling to customers primarily in the United States as well as internationally.
On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its limited liability interests of Shoals Parent LLC (“LLC Interests”) to its wholly-owned subsidiary Shoals Intermediate Parent, Inc. (“Shoals Intermediate Parent”), and following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the umbrella-partnership C corporation structure (“Up-C structure”). Following the elimination of the Up-C structure, effective December 31, 2023, the Company consummated an internal reorganization transaction whereby certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries merged with and into other subsidiaries. As part of this reorganization, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent, with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owns directly or indirectly four subsidiaries: Shoals Intermediate Parent, Shoals Technologies Group, LLC, Shoals International, LLC and Shoals Energy Spain, S.L.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Non-Controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of operations represented a portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests in the Company’s former subsidiary, Shoals Parent LLC, formerly held by direct or indirect holders of LLC Interests and our Class B common stock, including the founder and certain current and former executive officers, employees and their respective permitted transferees (collectively, the "Continuing Equity Owners”). As of March 2023, the Company, along with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Shoals Intermediate Parent, owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information

Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are also unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for obsolete or slow moving inventory, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, equity-based compensation expense and warranty liability.
Customer Concentrations
The Company had the following revenue concentrations representing approximately 10% or more of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and related accounts receivable concentrations as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company follows a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
7



Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value and is considered level 2, as it is based on current market rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar terms.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will monitor the removal of various requirements from the current regulations in order to determine when to adopt the related amendments, but does not anticipate the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

General Warranty
The Company offers an assurance type warranty for its products against manufacturer defects which does not contain a service element. For these assurance type warranties, a provision for estimated future costs related to warranty expense is recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 our estimated general warranty liability was approximately $0.6 million and zero, respectively. The Company recorded total warranty expense related to general warranty matters of $0.6 million and zero, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Wire Insulation Shrinkback Warranty
The Company has been notified by certain customers that a subset of wire harnesses used in its EBOS solutions is presenting unacceptable levels of contraction of wire insulation (“wire insulation shrinkback”). Based upon the Company’s ongoing assessment, the Company currently believes the wire insulation shrinkback is related to defective wire manufactured by Prysmian Cables and Systems USA, LLC (“Prysmian”). Based on the Company’s continued analysis of information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company determined that a potential range of loss was both probable and reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2024, the estimate of potential losses remains unchanged from the estimate provided as of December 31, 2023. As no amount within the current range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the Company recorded a warranty liability and related expense representing the low end of the range of potential loss of $59.7 million. The high-end of the range of potential loss is $184.9 million, which is $125.2 million higher than the amount recorded. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our recorded warranty liability related to this matter was $51.2 million and $54.9 million, respectively.
The estimated range is based on several assumptions, including the potential magnitude of engineering, procurement and construction firm’s labor cost to identify and perform the repair and replacement of impacted harnesses, estimated failure rates, materials replacement cost, planned remediation method, inspection costs, and other various assumptions. While our wire insulation shrinkback warranty liability represents our best estimate of the range of expected losses at any given time, the Company is in the early stages of the identification, repair and replacement process and may increase or decrease its estimated warranty liability from its current estimate as additional information becomes available, including with respect to experience relating to weather delays, site access, vegetation management or other factors. Such increase or decrease may be material. The Company does not maintain insurance for product warranty issues and has commenced a lawsuit against Prysmian, as discussed in more detail under Wire Insulation Shrinkback Litigation section of Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies. Because the lawsuit against Prysmian is ongoing, potential recovery from Prysmian is not considered probable as defined in ASC 450, and has not been considered in our estimate of the warranty liability as of March 31, 2024.
The Company recorded total warranty expense related to this matter of zero for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Warranty liability, which includes both general warranty and wire insulation shrinkback warranty, is estimated as follows (in thousands):

Senior Secured Credit Agreement
The Company has a senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), which consisted of (i) a senior secured six-year term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
On January 19, 2024, the Company used proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to make a $100.0 million voluntary prepayment of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility.
On March 19, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. The amendment, among other things, (i) increases the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $200.0 million, (ii) reduces the interest rate margin applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility by at least 0.25%, with additional 0.25% step-downs if the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio does not exceed certain thresholds (which step-downs will step back up if such leverage ratio exceeds those thresholds), (iii) reduces the commitment fee applicable to the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by at least 0.10% with additional 0.05% step-downs if the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio does not exceed certain thresholds (which step-downs will step back up if such leverage ratio exceeds such thresholds), (iv) lowers the maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement to (a) 4.25:1.00 from April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025 and (b) thereafter, 4.00:1.00 (with temporary increases to the maximum consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio in the event a material acquisition closes), (v) extends the maturity date applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility to March 19, 2029, the fifth anniversary of the amendment’s effective date, and (vi) amends certain covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement in a manner customary for facilities of this type.
On March 19, 2024, the Company made a $43.8 million voluntary prepayment of all the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility, thereby terminating all term loan commitments under the Term Loan Facility.
Beginning March 19, 2024 and until the delivery of the Company’s compliance certificate for the second quarter of 2024 pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either adjusted term SOFR or base rate (each, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) plus (i) in the case of SOFR rate loans, 2.50% per annum and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 1.50% per annum.
Following the delivery of the Company’s compliance certificate for the second quarter of 2024, pursuant to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either adjusted term SOFR or base rate (each, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) plus an applicable interest rate margin, based upon the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio. The applicable interest rate margin varies from 2.25% to 3.00% per annum for term benchmark loans and 1.25% to 2.00% per annum for base rate loans.
12



Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of March 31, 2024, interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility ranged from 7.91% to 7.93%, which represented SOFR plus 2.50%. As of March 31, 2024, there were $168.8 million of outstanding borrowings, $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, and $31.0 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for financings of this type, including covenants that restrict our incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, dispositions, investments, acquisitions, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control.
As discussed above, the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant that is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all the required covenants.

10.    Earnings per Share ("EPS")
Basic EPS of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS of Class A common stock is computed similarly to basic EPS except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the exchange of Class B common stock under the if-converted method and the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. The Company’s restricted/performance stock units are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose.
Basic and diluted EPS of Class A common stock have been computed as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The Company recognized equity-based compensation of $5.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $26.5 million of unrecognized compensation costs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

12.    Stockholders’ Equity
Shoals Parent LLC Ownership
Prior to July 1, 2023, the Company owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC, was the sole managing member of Shoals Parent LLC and had the sole voting power in, and controlled the management of, Shoals Parent LLC. On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its LLC Interests to Shoals Intermediate Parent. Following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the Company’s Up-C structure. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Prior to the Company owning 100% of Shoals Parent LLC, the remaining interest in Shoals Parent LLC, was held by the Continuing Equity Owners, who could exchange at each of their respective options, in whole or in part, from time to time, their LLC Interests (along with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock (which shares were then immediately canceled)) for cash or newly issued shares of our Class A common stock. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of Shoals Parent LLC and reported non-controlling interests in its condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the limited liability company agreement of Shoals Parent LLC, Shoals Parent LLC made cash distributions to its members in an amount sufficient to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to each member’s share of Shoals Parent LLC taxable earnings. The payment of these cash distributions by Shoals Parent LLC to Continuing Equity Owners was recorded as distributions to holders of LLC Interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Common Stock Economic and Voting Rights
Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock (if any shares are outstanding) are entitled to one vote per share and, except as otherwise required, vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. Holders of Class B common stock (if any shares are outstanding) are not entitled to receive dividends and will not be entitled to receive any distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Shares of Class B common stock were only issuable to the extent necessary to maintain the one-to-one ratio between the number of LLC Interests held by the Continuing Equity Owners and the number of shares of Class B common stock held by the Continuing Equity Owners. As of March 2023, there were no shares of Class B common stock nor LLC Interests outstanding, and no shares of Class B common stock are currently issuable. Shares of Class B common stock were transferable only together with an equal number of LLC Interests.

14.    Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is from time to time subject to legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, except as disclosed below, the amount of losses or gains that may be sustained, if any, would not have a material effect on the financial position,
15



Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies, including fees and costs associated with preservation of evidence in connection with the wire insulation shrinkback litigation, as incurred.

Intellectual Property Litigation
On May 4, 2023, the Company filed a patent infringement complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against Hikam America, Inc., a corporation based in Chula Vista, California, and its related foreign entities (together, “Hikam”), and Voltage LLC, a limited liability company based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and a related foreign entity (together, “Voltage”). The complaint primarily requests that the ITC (i) investigate unlawful imports of certain photovoltaic connectors and components that the Company alleges infringe on two valid and enforceable patents owned by the Company related to improved connectors for solar panel arrays and (ii) issue a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order against the Hikam respondents and the Voltage respondents to bar them from importing, marketing, distributing, selling, offering for sale, licensing, advertising, transferring, or otherwise using the infringing photovoltaic connectors and components in and into the United States. On July 19, 2023, the Company filed an amended complaint with the ITC, adding allegations that Voltage also infringes a third, recently-issued patent owned by the Company. Also on May 4, 2023, the Company filed complaints against Hikam in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, and against Voltage in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina on the same subject matter. On June 28, 2023, the Company filed an amended complaint in the District Court action against Voltage alleging that they also infringe on a third, recently-issued patent owned by the Company. These complaints seek injunctive relief and damages for reasonable royalty and lost profits. The District Court actions have been stayed pending the final disposition of the ITC investigation. The Administrative Law Judge issued a Claim Construction Ruling on February 21, 2024, as a result of which, the Company filed an unopposed motion on February 26, 2024, which was granted on February 28, 2024, to remove one of the three asserted patents covering duplicative subject matter against Voltage. An evidentiary hearing in the ITC investigation was held from March 18 through 22, 2024. The Administrative Law Judge is scheduled to issue an Initial Determination around July 12, 2024, the ITC has set a target date for completion of the investigation of November 12, 2024 and final resolution following a potential Presidential review in January 2025. The Company is vigorously pursuing these actions. However, at this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or impact on its business and financial results. The Company is accounting for this matter as a gain contingency, and will record any such gain in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved, in accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies.

Wire Insulation Shrinkback Litigation
On October 31, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against Prysmian in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division. The complaint alleges that the Company suffered damages caused by defective wire Prysmian sold the Company from approximately 2020 through approximately 2022. The complaint alleges that the wire at issue in the litigation has presented unacceptable levels of wire insulation shrinkback. The complaint includes, among other causes of action, product liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, indemnity, and negligence claims. The Company seeks compensatory and punitive damages, recovery of all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the identification, repair and replacement of the Prysmian wire alleged to be defective, and other legal and equitable relief. The Company is vigorously pursuing its complaint, and as the Company continues to assess this matter, it may, from time to time, amend, update or supplement the complaint to, among other things,

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
increase the damages sought for various purposes, including in accordance with increases to the Company’s estimated warranty liability and related expenses related to this matter. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation or the impact on its business and financial results. The Company is accounting for this matter as a gain contingency, and will record any such gain in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved, in accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies.

Securities Litigation
On March 21, 2024, a purported shareholder filed a putative securities class action against the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, captioned Westchester Putnam Counties Heavy & Highway Laborers Local 60 Benefits Fund v. Shoals Technologies Group, Inc., et al. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions relating to the wire insulation shrinkback matter. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, recovery of fees and costs, and other relief that the court may find appropriate. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend against this claim, there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. Accordingly, the Company is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit or determine the amount or range of potential losses associated with the lawsuit.

Surety Bonds
The Company provides surety bonds to various parties as required for certain transactions initiated during the ordinary course of business to guarantee the Company’s performance in accordance with contractual or legal obligations. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum potential payment obligation with regard to surety bonds was $23.0 million.

15.    Income Taxes
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining non-controlling interest in Shoals Parent LLC and contributed 100% of its interest to its wholly-owned subsidiary Shoals Intermediate Parent, thereby eliminating the Company’s Up-C structure. As a result of the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC ceased to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and became a single-member disregarded entity. Accordingly, the Company converted its outside basis differences in its investment in Shoals Parent LLC and remeasured its deferred taxes using the inside basis differences of Shoals Parent LLC’s assets and liabilities.
In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC Topic 740, an estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to year-to-date ordinary income. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year.
For annual periods, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
17



Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $1.0 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits inclusive of interest and penalties, all of which, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company files U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities for various time periods, depending on those jurisdictions’ rules, generally after the income tax returns are filed.

16.    Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of revenue
Based on ASC Topic 606 provisions, the Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers based on product type. Revenue by product type is disaggregated between system solutions and components. System solutions are contracts under which the Company provides multiple products, typically in connection with the design and specification of an entire EBOS system. Components represents sales of individual components.
The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by product type (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31,
20242023
System solutions$65,059 $91,299 
Components25,748 13,787 
Total revenue$90,807 $105,086 

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, retainage, and deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, recorded on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
The Company’s contract balances consist of the following (in thousands):

Unbilled receivablesUnbilled receivables$23,406 $40,136 
Deferred revenueDeferred revenue$21,834 $22,228 

The majority of the Company’s contract amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which generally coincide with the shipment of one or more phases of the project. Billing sometimes occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in unbilled receivables. The changes in unbilled receivables relate to fluctuations in the timing of billings for the Company’s revenue recognized over time. As of December 31, 2022, billed accounts receivable and unbilled receivables were $48.6 million and $16.7 million, respectively.
Certain contracts contain retainage provisions. Retainage represents a contract asset for the portion of the contract price earned by the Company for work performed but held for payment by the customer as a form of security until the Company obtains specified milestones. The Company typically bills retainage amounts as work is performed. Retainage provisions are not considered a significant financing component because they are intended to protect the customer in the event that some or all of the obligations under the contract are not completed. The changes in retainage relate to fluctuations in the timing of retainage billings and achievement of specified milestones. As of December 31, 2022, retainage was $2.0 million.
The Company also receives deferred revenue in the form of customer deposits. The customer deposits are short term as the related performance obligations are typically fulfilled within 12 months. The changes in deferred revenue relate to fluctuations in the timing of customer deposits and completion of performance obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $9.9 million of deferred revenue recorded as of December 31, 2023 was recognized in revenue. As of December 31, 2022, deferred revenue was $23.3 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2023, $10.1 million of deferred revenue recorded as of December 31, 2022, was recognized in revenue.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”) and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”). In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under the sections of our 2023 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q captioned “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”.
This MD&A contains the presentation of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, which are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share are being presented because management believes they provide investors and readers of this Form 10-Q with additional insight into our operational performance relative to earlier periods and relative to our competitors. We do not intend Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share to be substitutes for any GAAP financial information. Readers of this Form 10-Q should use Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share only in conjunction with Gross Profit, Net Income, and Net Income Attributable to Shoals Technologies Group, Inc., the most closely comparable GAAP financial measures, as applicable. Reconciliations of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share to the respective most closely comparable GAAP measure, as well as a calculation of Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage and Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, are provided below, in “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Overview
We are a leading provider of electrical balance of systems (“EBOS”) solutions and components for solar, battery storage and electrical vehicle (“EV”) charging applications, selling to customers primarily in the United States as well as internationally. EBOS encompasses all of the components that are necessary to carry the electric current produced by solar panels to an inverter and ultimately to the power grid. EBOS components are mission-critical products that have a high consequence of failure, including lost revenue, equipment damage, fire damage, and even serious injury or death. As a result, we generally believe customers prioritize reliability and safety over price when selecting EBOS solutions.
EBOS components that we produce include cable assemblies, inline fuses, combiners, disconnects, recombiners, wireless monitoring systems, junction boxes, transition enclosures, splice boxes, and battery energy storage cabinets. We derive the majority of our revenue from selling “system solutions” which are complete EBOS systems that include several of our products, many of which are customized for the customer’s project. We believe our system solutions are unique in our industry because they integrate design and engineering support, proprietary components and innovative installation methods into a single offering that would otherwise be challenging for a customer to obtain from a single provider or at all.
We sell our solar products principally to engineering, procurement and construction firms (“EPCs”) that build solar energy projects. However, given the mission-critical nature of EBOS, the decision to use our products typically involves input from both the EPC and the owner of the solar energy project. The custom nature of our system solutions and the long development cycle for solar energy projects typically gives us 12
20


months or more of lead time to quote, engineer, produce and ship each order we receive, and we do not stock large amounts of finished goods.
Throughout the first quarter of 2024, we have maintained focus on our growth strategy and continued strengthening our leadership position in the industry. We believe that as of March 31, 2024, we have worked with 14 of the top 15 solar EPCs, per Wood Mackenzie data from 2019-2023, and 12 of those EPCs used our combine-as-you-go system on their projects.
We derived 71.6% of our revenue from the sale of system solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the same period, we derived substantially all of our revenue from customers in the U.S. As of March 31, 2024, we had $615.2 million of backlog and awarded orders, backlog of $196.2 million represents signed purchase orders or contractual minimum purchase commitments with take-or-pay provisions and awarded orders of $419.0 million are orders we are in the process of documenting a contract for but for which a contract has not yet been signed. As of March 31, 2024, we believe approximately $196.2 million of backlog and $214.6 million of awarded orders have delivery dates in 2024. The remaining $204.4 million have planned delivery dates beyond 2024. Additionally, more than 12% of our March 31, 2024 backlog and awarded orders related to international projects. As of March 31, 2024, backlog and awarded orders increased by 17% relative to the same date last year and decreased by 3% relative to December 31, 2023.
Trends and Uncertainties
Global inflationary pressures are expected to persist during the remainder of 2024. As a result, increased energy prices, freight premiums, and other operating costs continued in the first quarter of 2024 and are expected to persist during the rest of 2024. Increased interest rates also continued to result in higher interest rates associated with our Senior Secured Credit Agreement in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additional increases will have a corresponding increase in the interest rates charged under our Senior Secured Credit Agreement. The eventual implications of higher government deficits and debt, tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higher cost of capital during our forecasted period.
While the delays in securing raw materials have abated since the highs in 2022, our ability to obtain raw materials required to manufacture our components and system solutions from domestic and international suppliers, as well as our ability to secure inbound logistics to and from our facilities, were still impacted in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. The Company does not directly source a significant amount of raw materials from Europe. However, the Russia-Ukraine war has reduced the availability of certain materials that can be sourced in Europe and, as a result, increased global logistics costs for the procurement of some inputs and materials used in our products. We expect these trends to persist throughout 2024.
In addition, changes over the last few years in the international relations and tariff regimes between the U.S. and China in response to various political issues and heightened uncertainty regarding China-Taiwan relations could significantly adversely impact the availability of parts and components to us, and, correspondingly, our ability to produce our components at targeted levels, although we did not experience such negative effects during the first quarter of 2024. We are continuously monitoring the condition of our supply chain and evaluating our procurement strategy to reduce any negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In response to supply chain constraints, in 2022 and 2023 we increased certain raw materials inventory, partly to limit the potential impact of supply chain issues of raw materials in the near term. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 we continued to monitor and reduce our inventory levels.
During 2023 and continuing in the first quarter in 2024, the domestic utility scale solar market experienced project delays that have pushed projects out from the first half of 2024. Additionally, in 2023, the domestic utility scale solar market started experiencing slowing growth, which is expected to persist in the near term. These trends are the result of the costs of permitting issues, project financing, lingering uncertainty about
21


the application of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to solar projects, supply chain constraints and interconnection complications. We expect these trends to persist throughout 2024. These project slowdowns and delays have impacted our results, though we expect this trend to reverse over time. However, even though we expect our growth rate to decline from the very high levels of the last few years, we believe that our domestic utility scale business will continue growing at an attractive rate.
As of March 31, 2024, other than increased interest rates and project pushouts, which resulted in increased interest expense and decreased revenue, respectively, we did not experience material adverse effects on our financial results from the events and trends discussed above.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
The following discussion describes certain line items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of EBOS systems and components for homerun and combine-as-you-go architectures, battery storage, EV charging infrastructure, and operations and maintenance offerings. Our customers include EPCs, utilities, solar developers, independent power producers, solar module manufacturers and charge point operators. We derive the majority of our revenue from selling solar system solutions. When we sell a solar system solution, we enter into a contract with our customers covering the price, specifications, delivery dates and warranty for the products being purchased, among other things. Our contractual delivery period for solar system solutions can vary from one to three months whereas manufacturing typically requires a shorter time frame. Contracts for solar system solutions can range in value from several hundred thousand to several million dollars.
Our revenue is affected by changes in the price, volume and mix of solar system solutions and components purchased by our customers. The price and volume of our system solutions and components is driven by the demand for our solar system solutions and components, changes in product mix between homerun and combine-as-you-go EBOS, geographic mix of our customers, strength of competitors’ product offerings, and availability of government incentives to the end-users of our products.
Our revenue growth is dependent on continued growth in the amount of solar energy projects constructed each year and our ability to increase our share of demand in the geographies where we currently compete and plan to compete in the future, as well as our ability to continue to develop and commercialize new and innovative products that address the changing technology and performance requirements of our customers.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue consists primarily of system solutions and components costs, including purchased raw materials, as well as costs related to shipping, customer support, product warranty, personnel and depreciation of manufacturing and testing equipment. Personnel costs in cost of revenue include both direct labor costs as well as costs attributable to any individuals whose activities relate to the transformation of raw materials or component parts into finished goods or the transportation of materials to the customer. Our product costs are affected by the underlying cost of raw materials, including copper and aluminum; component costs, including fuses, resin, enclosures, and cable; technological innovation; economies of scale resulting in lower component costs; and improvements in production processes and automation. We do not currently hedge against changes in the price of raw materials. Some of these costs, primarily indirect personnel and depreciation of manufacturing and testing equipment, are not directly affected by sales volume. Gross profit may vary from year to year and is primarily affected by our sales volume, product prices, product costs, product mix, customer mix, geographical mix, shipping method and warranty expense.
Operating Expenses
22


Operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses as well as depreciation and amortization expense. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component of our operating expenses and include salaries, equity-based compensation, benefits, payroll taxes and commissions. The number of full-time employees in our general and administrative departments increased from 115 to 159 from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, and we expect to hire new employees in the future to support our growth. The timing of these additional hires could materially affect our operating expenses in any particular period, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, equity-based compensation expense, employee benefits and payroll taxes related to our executives, and our sales, finance, human resources, information technology, engineering and legal organizations, travel expenses, facilities costs, marketing expenses, insurance, bad debt expense and fees for professional services. Professional services consist of audit, tax, accounting, legal, internal controls, information technology, investor relations and other costs. We expect to increase our sales and marketing personnel as we expand into new geographic markets. Substantially all of our sales are currently in the U.S. We currently have a sales presence in the U.S., Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Africa. We intend to grow our sales presence and marketing efforts in current geographic markets and expand to additional countries in the future.
Depreciation
Depreciation in our operating expenses consists of costs associated with property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) not used in manufacturing our products. We expect that as we increase both our revenue and the number of our general and administrative personnel, we will invest in additional PP&E to support our growth resulting in additional depreciation expense.
Amortization
Amortization of intangibles consists of amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, trade names, backlog and noncompete agreements over their expected period of use.
Non-operating Expenses
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest and other charges paid in connection with our Senior Secured Credit Agreement.
Income Tax Expense
Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax in multiple jurisdictions. Prior to the July 1, 2023 contribution described in Note 1 - Organization and Business, Shoals Parent LLC was a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes but incurred income tax in certain state jurisdictions. On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its limited liability interests of Shoals Parent LLC to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shoals Intermediate Parent, Inc., and following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the umbrella-partnership C corporation structure.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
Revenue
Revenue decreased by $14.3 million, or 14%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by lower sales volumes resulting from fewer production days, as well as solar project delays that have pushed projects out from the first half of 2024.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue decreased by $2.5 million, or 4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by the decrease in revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 40.2% during three months ended March 31, 2024, and 45.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was driven by product mix, an increase in labor costs, and a reduction in leverage on fixed costs.

Operating Expenses
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million, or 14%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses was the result of an increase in professional fees of $3.7 million, primarily related to legal fees incurred in connection with the ongoing patent infringement and wire insulation shrinkback litigation, as well as an increase in wages and related taxes of $1.2 million due to increased employee headcount to support our growth initiatives. This increase is offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in equity-based compensation, which is attributable to the termination of our former CEO’s employment for disability during March 2023.

Depreciation and Amortization
24


Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was due to a reduction in amortization expense related to definite lived intangible assets that became fully amortized during 2023. This decrease is offset by an increase in depreciation expense related to additional purchases of plant, property and equipment to support our growth initiatives.

Interest Expense
Interest expense, net decreased by $1.6 million or 27%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was due to a write-off of $2.5 million of unamortized deferred interest as a result of voluntary prepayments made on, and the payoff of, the Term Loan Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as well as a decrease in the total weighted average outstanding balance of the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9 - Long-Term Debt) during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was offset by a write-off of $2.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of voluntary prepayments made on, and the payoff of, the Term Loan Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as well as an increase in borrowing rates.

Income tax expense
Income tax expense totaled $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to income tax expense of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 33.9% and 15.5%, respectively. The increase in our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to a reduction in favorable permanent differences related to net income attributable to non-controlling interests and discrete tax adjustments related to RSU and PSU vestings during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus wire insulation shrinkback expenses. We define Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation expense, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v) equity-based compensation, (vi) wire insulation shrinkback expenses, and (vii) wire insulation shrinkback litigation expenses. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income attributable to Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. plus (i) net income impact from assumed exchange of Class B common stock to Class A common stock as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, (ii) adjustment to the provision for income tax, (iii) amortization of intangibles, (iv) amortization / write-off of deferred financing costs, (v) equity-based compensation, (vi) wire insulation shrinkback expenses, and (vii) wire insulation shrinkback litigation expenses, all net of applicable income taxes. We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the applicable period, which assumes the exchange of all outstanding Class B common stock for Class A common stock as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS are intended as supplemental measures of performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We present Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items
25


that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS: (i) as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, as applicable; (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and (iii) because our credit agreement uses measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS to measure our compliance with certain covenants.
Among other limitations, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and may be calculated by other companies in our industry differently than we do or not at all, which may limit their usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. You should review the reconciliation of gross profit to Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, net income to Adjusted EBITDA, and net income attributable to Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

(a)    For the three months ended March 31, 2023, represents $2.0 million of inventory write-downs of defective wire in connection with the identification, repair and replacement of a subset of wire harnesses presenting unacceptable levels of wire insulation shrinkback. We consider expenses incurred in connection with the identification, repair and replacement of the impacted wire harnesses distinct from normal, ongoing service identification, repair and replacement expenses that would be reflected under ongoing warranty expenses within the operation of our business, which we do not exclude from our non-GAAP measures. In the future, we also intend to exclude from our non-GAAP measures the benefit of liability releases, if any. We believe excluding expenses from these discrete liability events provides investors with a better view of the operating performance of our business and allows for comparability through periods. See Note 8 - Warranty Liability, in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.
(b)    For the three months ended March 31, 2024, represents $0.8 million of expenses incurred in connection with the lawsuit initiated by the Company against the supplier of the defective wire. We consider this litigation distinct from ordinary course legal matters given the expected magnitude of the expenses, the nature of the allegations in the Company’s complaint, the amount of damages sought, and the impact of the matter underlying the litigation on the Company’s financial results. In the future, we also intend to exclude from our non-GAAP measures the benefit of recovery, if any. We believe excluding expenses from these discrete litigation events provides investors with a better view of the operating performance of our business and allows for comparability through periods. See Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies, in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.
(c)    Reflects net income to Class A common stock from assumed exchange of corresponding shares of our Class B common stock held by our founder and management.
(d)    Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. is subject to U.S. Federal income taxes, in addition to state and local taxes. The adjustment to the provision for income tax reflects the effective tax rates below, assuming Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. owned 100% of the units in Shoals Parent LLC prior to March 10, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our operations primarily with operating cash flows and short and long-term borrowings. Our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations is dependent on the strength of our gross profits as well as our ability to quickly turn our working capital. Based on our past performance and current expectations, we believe that operating cash flows and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our near and long-term future cash needs.
We generated cash from operating activities of $12.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $9.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $15.2 million, a decrease from $22.7 million as of December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 we had outstanding borrowings of $168.8 million, a decrease from $183.8 million as of December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, we also had $31.0 million available for additional borrowings under our $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.
On December 27, 2023 and January 19, 2024 we used borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand to make voluntary prepayments of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility of $50.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively. Following the amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement on March 19, 2024, which, among other things, increased the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $200.0 million, we made a $43.8 million voluntary prepayment of all the outstanding term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, thereby terminating the Term Loan Facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we also used approximately $3.7 million of cash to pay for expenses related to the identification, repair and replacement of the wire harnesses impacted in connection
28


with the wire insulation shrinkback matter. We expect to continue spending significant amounts of cash in connection thereof. For more information, see Note 8 - Warranty Liability in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net cash used in financing activities(17,848)(10,216)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents$(7,471)$(2,306)
Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $12.9 million, primarily due to operating results that included $4.8 million of net income, which included $13.7 million of non-cash expense, along with a decrease in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of $20.4 million. These cash inflows were offset by a decrease of $12.1 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, an increase of $6.8 million in inventory, cash outflows of $3.7 million related to the warranty liability, and a decrease of $0.4 million in deferred revenue.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $9.9 million, primarily due to operating results that included $17.0 million of net income, which included $16.0 million of non-cash expense, along with an increase of $11.3 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. These cash inflows were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables of $28.1 million, which was primarily driven by an increase in revenues, a $3.2 million increase in inventory as a result of increasing our raw materials inventory to support growth and reduce the likelihood of supply chain issues from our raw materials suppliers, and an increase of $3.3 million in other assets, which is primarily related to prepayment of a directors and officers insurance policy.
Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million, all of which was attributable to the purchase of property and equipment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million, all of which was attributable to the purchase of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $17.8 million, primarily due to $143.8 million in voluntary prepayments on, and the payoff of, the Term Loan Facility, $2.0 million of deferred financing costs paid in connection with the amendment of the Senior Secured Credit Facility on March 19, 2024, and $0.8 million in taxes related to net share settled equity awards. These cash outflows were offset by $128.8 million in net borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $10.2 million, primarily due to $3.6 million in taxes related to net share settled equity awards, $3.0 million in net payments on the Revolving Credit Facility, and $2.6 million in distributions to our non-controlling interest holders.

For a description of our analysis of quantitative and qualitative market risk, see our 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 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
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims that arise out of our operations and businesses and that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, intellectual property matters, contract and employment claims, personal injury claims, product liability claims and warranty claims. Except as described under Litigation in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies, there are no claims or proceedings to which we are party that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted
30


with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, we may incur significant costs and experience a diversion of management resources as a result of litigation.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization and Business Organization and Business
Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on November 4, 2020 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering and other related organizational transactions to carry on the business of Shoals Parent LLC and its subsidiaries (“Shoals Parent LLC”). Shoals Parent LLC was a Delaware limited liability company.
The Company is headquartered in Portland, Tennessee and is a manufacturer of electrical balance of systems (“EBOS”) solutions and components for solar, battery storage and electric vehicle charging applications, selling to customers primarily in the United States as well as internationally.
On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its limited liability interests of Shoals Parent LLC (“LLC Interests”) to its wholly-owned subsidiary Shoals Intermediate Parent, Inc. (“Shoals Intermediate Parent”), and following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the umbrella-partnership C corporation structure (“Up-C structure”). Following the elimination of the Up-C structure, effective December 31, 2023, the Company consummated an internal reorganization transaction whereby certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries merged with and into other subsidiaries. As part of this reorganization, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent, with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owns directly or indirectly four subsidiaries: Shoals Intermediate Parent, Shoals Technologies Group, LLC, Shoals International, LLC and Shoals Energy Spain, S.L.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Non-Controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of operations represented a portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests in the Company’s former subsidiary, Shoals Parent LLC, formerly held by direct or indirect holders of LLC Interests and our Class B common stock, including the founder and certain current and former executive officers, employees and their respective permitted transferees (collectively, the "Continuing Equity Owners”). As of March 2023, the Company, along with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Shoals Intermediate Parent, owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are also unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for obsolete or slow moving inventory, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, equity-based compensation expense and warranty liability.
Customer Concentrations
The Company had the following revenue concentrations representing approximately 10% or more of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and related accounts receivable concentrations as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company follows a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value and is considered level 2, as it is based on current market rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar terms.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will monitor the removal of various requirements from the current regulations in order to determine when to adopt the related amendments, but does not anticipate the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Warranty Liability Warranty Liability
General Warranty
The Company offers an assurance type warranty for its products against manufacturer defects which does not contain a service element. For these assurance type warranties, a provision for estimated future costs related to warranty expense is recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 our estimated general warranty liability was approximately $0.6 million and zero, respectively. The Company recorded total warranty expense related to general warranty matters of $0.6 million and zero, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Wire Insulation Shrinkback Warranty
The Company has been notified by certain customers that a subset of wire harnesses used in its EBOS solutions is presenting unacceptable levels of contraction of wire insulation (“wire insulation shrinkback”). Based upon the Company’s ongoing assessment, the Company currently believes the wire insulation shrinkback is related to defective wire manufactured by Prysmian Cables and Systems USA, LLC (“Prysmian”). Based on the Company’s continued analysis of information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company determined that a potential range of loss was both probable and reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2024, the estimate of potential losses remains unchanged from the estimate provided as of December 31, 2023. As no amount within the current range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the Company recorded a warranty liability and related expense representing the low end of the range of potential loss of $59.7 million. The high-end of the range of potential loss is $184.9 million, which is $125.2 million higher than the amount recorded. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our recorded warranty liability related to this matter was $51.2 million and $54.9 million, respectively.
The estimated range is based on several assumptions, including the potential magnitude of engineering, procurement and construction firm’s labor cost to identify and perform the repair and replacement of impacted harnesses, estimated failure rates, materials replacement cost, planned remediation method, inspection costs, and other various assumptions. While our wire insulation shrinkback warranty liability represents our best estimate of the range of expected losses at any given time, the Company is in the early stages of the identification, repair and replacement process and may increase or decrease its estimated warranty liability from its current estimate as additional information becomes available, including with respect to experience relating to weather delays, site access, vegetation management or other factors. Such increase or decrease may be material. The Company does not maintain insurance for product warranty issues and has commenced a lawsuit against Prysmian, as discussed in more detail under Wire Insulation Shrinkback Litigation section of Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies. Because the lawsuit against Prysmian is ongoing, potential recovery from Prysmian is not considered probable as defined in ASC 450, and has not been considered in our estimate of the warranty liability as of March 31, 2024.
The Company recorded total warranty expense related to this matter of zero for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Warranty liability, which includes both general warranty and wire insulation shrinkback warranty, is estimated as follows (in thousands):

Senior Secured Credit Agreement
The Company has a senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), which consisted of (i) a senior secured six-year term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
On January 19, 2024, the Company used proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to make a $100.0 million voluntary prepayment of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility.
On March 19, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. The amendment, among other things, (i) increases the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $200.0 million, (ii) reduces the interest rate margin applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility by at least 0.25%, with additional 0.25% step-downs if the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio does not exceed certain thresholds (which step-downs will step back up if such leverage ratio exceeds those thresholds), (iii) reduces the commitment fee applicable to the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by at least 0.10% with additional 0.05% step-downs if the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio does not exceed certain thresholds (which step-downs will step back up if such leverage ratio exceeds such thresholds), (iv) lowers the maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement to (a) 4.25:1.00 from April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025 and (b) thereafter, 4.00:1.00 (with temporary increases to the maximum consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio in the event a material acquisition closes), (v) extends the maturity date applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility to March 19, 2029, the fifth anniversary of the amendment’s effective date, and (vi) amends certain covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement in a manner customary for facilities of this type.
On March 19, 2024, the Company made a $43.8 million voluntary prepayment of all the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility, thereby terminating all term loan commitments under the Term Loan Facility.
Beginning March 19, 2024 and until the delivery of the Company’s compliance certificate for the second quarter of 2024 pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either adjusted term SOFR or base rate (each, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) plus (i) in the case of SOFR rate loans, 2.50% per annum and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 1.50% per annum.
Following the delivery of the Company’s compliance certificate for the second quarter of 2024, pursuant to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either adjusted term SOFR or base rate (each, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) plus an applicable interest rate margin, based upon the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio. The applicable interest rate margin varies from 2.25% to 3.00% per annum for term benchmark loans and 1.25% to 2.00% per annum for base rate loans.
As of March 31, 2024, interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility ranged from 7.91% to 7.93%, which represented SOFR plus 2.50%. As of March 31, 2024, there were $168.8 million of outstanding borrowings, $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, and $31.0 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for financings of this type, including covenants that restrict our incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, dispositions, investments, acquisitions, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control.
As discussed above, the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant that is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all the required covenants.

Shoals Parent LLC Ownership
Prior to July 1, 2023, the Company owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC, was the sole managing member of Shoals Parent LLC and had the sole voting power in, and controlled the management of, Shoals Parent LLC. On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its LLC Interests to Shoals Intermediate Parent. Following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the Company’s Up-C structure. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Prior to the Company owning 100% of Shoals Parent LLC, the remaining interest in Shoals Parent LLC, was held by the Continuing Equity Owners, who could exchange at each of their respective options, in whole or in part, from time to time, their LLC Interests (along with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock (which shares were then immediately canceled)) for cash or newly issued shares of our Class A common stock. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of Shoals Parent LLC and reported non-controlling interests in its condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the limited liability company agreement of Shoals Parent LLC, Shoals Parent LLC made cash distributions to its members in an amount sufficient to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to each member’s share of Shoals Parent LLC taxable earnings. The payment of these cash distributions by Shoals Parent LLC to Continuing Equity Owners was recorded as distributions to holders of LLC Interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Common Stock Economic and Voting Rights
Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock (if any shares are outstanding) are entitled to one vote per share and, except as otherwise required, vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. Holders of Class B common stock (if any shares are outstanding) are not entitled to receive dividends and will not be entitled to receive any distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Shares of Class B common stock were only issuable to the extent necessary to maintain the one-to-one ratio between the number of LLC Interests held by the Continuing Equity Owners and the number of shares of Class B common stock held by the Continuing Equity Owners. As of March 2023, there were no shares of Class B common stock nor LLC Interests outstanding, and no shares of Class B common stock are currently issuable. Shares of Class B common stock were transferable only together with an equal number of LLC Interests.

Litigation
The Company is from time to time subject to legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, except as disclosed below, the amount of losses or gains that may be sustained, if any, would not have a material effect on the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies, including fees and costs associated with preservation of evidence in connection with the wire insulation shrinkback litigation, as incurred.

Intellectual Property Litigation
On May 4, 2023, the Company filed a patent infringement complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against Hikam America, Inc., a corporation based in Chula Vista, California, and its related foreign entities (together, “Hikam”), and Voltage LLC, a limited liability company based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and a related foreign entity (together, “Voltage”). The complaint primarily requests that the ITC (i) investigate unlawful imports of certain photovoltaic connectors and components that the Company alleges infringe on two valid and enforceable patents owned by the Company related to improved connectors for solar panel arrays and (ii) issue a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order against the Hikam respondents and the Voltage respondents to bar them from importing, marketing, distributing, selling, offering for sale, licensing, advertising, transferring, or otherwise using the infringing photovoltaic connectors and components in and into the United States. On July 19, 2023, the Company filed an amended complaint with the ITC, adding allegations that Voltage also infringes a third, recently-issued patent owned by the Company. Also on May 4, 2023, the Company filed complaints against Hikam in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, and against Voltage in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina on the same subject matter. On June 28, 2023, the Company filed an amended complaint in the District Court action against Voltage alleging that they also infringe on a third, recently-issued patent owned by the Company. These complaints seek injunctive relief and damages for reasonable royalty and lost profits. The District Court actions have been stayed pending the final disposition of the ITC investigation. The Administrative Law Judge issued a Claim Construction Ruling on February 21, 2024, as a result of which, the Company filed an unopposed motion on February 26, 2024, which was granted on February 28, 2024, to remove one of the three asserted patents covering duplicative subject matter against Voltage. An evidentiary hearing in the ITC investigation was held from March 18 through 22, 2024. The Administrative Law Judge is scheduled to issue an Initial Determination around July 12, 2024, the ITC has set a target date for completion of the investigation of November 12, 2024 and final resolution following a potential Presidential review in January 2025. The Company is vigorously pursuing these actions. However, at this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or impact on its business and financial results. The Company is accounting for this matter as a gain contingency, and will record any such gain in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved, in accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies.

Wire Insulation Shrinkback Litigation
On October 31, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against Prysmian in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division. The complaint alleges that the Company suffered damages caused by defective wire Prysmian sold the Company from approximately 2020 through approximately 2022. The complaint alleges that the wire at issue in the litigation has presented unacceptable levels of wire insulation shrinkback. The complaint includes, among other causes of action, product liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, indemnity, and negligence claims. The Company seeks compensatory and punitive damages, recovery of all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the identification, repair and replacement of the Prysmian wire alleged to be defective, and other legal and equitable relief. The Company is vigorously pursuing its complaint, and as the Company continues to assess this matter, it may, from time to time, amend, update or supplement the complaint to, among other things,
increase the damages sought for various purposes, including in accordance with increases to the Company’s estimated warranty liability and related expenses related to this matter. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation or the impact on its business and financial results. The Company is accounting for this matter as a gain contingency, and will record any such gain in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved, in accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies.

Securities Litigation
On March 21, 2024, a purported shareholder filed a putative securities class action against the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, captioned Westchester Putnam Counties Heavy & Highway Laborers Local 60 Benefits Fund v. Shoals Technologies Group, Inc., et al. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions relating to the wire insulation shrinkback matter. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, recovery of fees and costs, and other relief that the court may find appropriate. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend against this claim, there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. Accordingly, the Company is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit or determine the amount or range of potential losses associated with the lawsuit.

Surety Bonds
The Company provides surety bonds to various parties as required for certain transactions initiated during the ordinary course of business to guarantee the Company’s performance in accordance with contractual or legal obligations. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum potential payment obligation with regard to surety bonds was $23.0 million.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining non-controlling interest in Shoals Parent LLC and contributed 100% of its interest to its wholly-owned subsidiary Shoals Intermediate Parent, thereby eliminating the Company’s Up-C structure. As a result of the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC ceased to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and became a single-member disregarded entity. Accordingly, the Company converted its outside basis differences in its investment in Shoals Parent LLC and remeasured its deferred taxes using the inside basis differences of Shoals Parent LLC’s assets and liabilities.
In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC Topic 740, an estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to year-to-date ordinary income. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year.
For annual periods, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $1.0 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits inclusive of interest and penalties, all of which, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company files U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities for various time periods, depending on those jurisdictions’ rules, generally after the income tax returns are filed.

Disaggregation of revenue
Based on ASC Topic 606 provisions, the Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers based on product type. Revenue by product type is disaggregated between system solutions and components. System solutions are contracts under which the Company provides multiple products, typically in connection with the design and specification of an entire EBOS system. Components represents sales of individual components.
The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by product type (in thousands):

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, retainage, and deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, recorded on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
The Company’s contract balances consist of the following (in thousands):
Location on the Condensed Consolidated Balance SheetsMarch 31,
2024
December 31, 2023
Billed accounts receivableAccounts receivable, net$99,822 $102,232 
RetainageAccounts receivable, net$3,581 $4,886 
Unbilled receivablesUnbilled receivables$23,406 $40,136 
Deferred revenueDeferred revenue$21,834 $22,228 

The majority of the Company’s contract amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which generally coincide with the shipment of one or more phases of the project. Billing sometimes occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in unbilled receivables. The changes in unbilled receivables relate to fluctuations in the timing of billings for the Company’s revenue recognized over time. As of December 31, 2022, billed accounts receivable and unbilled receivables were $48.6 million and $16.7 million, respectively.
Certain contracts contain retainage provisions. Retainage represents a contract asset for the portion of the contract price earned by the Company for work performed but held for payment by the customer as a form of security until the Company obtains specified milestones. The Company typically bills retainage amounts as work is performed. Retainage provisions are not considered a significant financing component because they are intended to protect the customer in the event that some or all of the obligations under the contract are not completed. The changes in retainage relate to fluctuations in the timing of retainage billings and achievement of specified milestones. As of December 31, 2022, retainage was $2.0 million.
The Company also receives deferred revenue in the form of customer deposits. The customer deposits are short term as the related performance obligations are typically fulfilled within 12 months. The changes in deferred revenue relate to fluctuations in the timing of customer deposits and completion of performance obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $9.9 million of deferred revenue recorded as of December 31, 2023 was recognized in revenue. As of December 31, 2022, deferred revenue was $23.3 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2023, $10.1 million of deferred revenue recorded as of December 31, 2022, was recognized in revenue.

Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Non-Controlling Interests
Non-Controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of operations represented a portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests in the Company’s former subsidiary, Shoals Parent LLC, formerly held by direct or indirect holders of LLC Interests and our Class B common stock, including the founder and certain current and former executive officers, employees and their respective permitted transferees (collectively, the "Continuing Equity Owners”). As of March 2023, the Company, along with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Shoals Intermediate Parent, owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for obsolete or slow moving inventory, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, equity-based compensation expense and warranty liability.
Fair Value
Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company follows a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value and is considered level 2, as it is based on current market rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar terms.

Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. For SEC registrants, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will monitor the removal of various requirements from the current regulations in order to determine when to adopt the related amendments, but does not anticipate the adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
