Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

Net sales increased 31.4% to $1,248.7 million, compared to $950.3 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales increased 37.9% to $1,248.7 million, compared to $905.6 million during the same period last year, or 37.6% on a constant currency basis. The increase in net sales and Adjusted Net Sales resulted from growth in each of our four major product categories of Food Preparation Appliances, Cooking and Beverage Appliances, Cleaning Appliances and Other, which includes beauty and home environment products.

• Cleaning Appliances net sales increased by $52.3 million, or 12.6%, to $466.1 million, compared to $413.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Cleaning Appliances increased by $78.5 million, or 20.3%, from $387.6 million to $466.1 million, driven by the carpet extractor and cordless vacuums sub-categories.
• Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased by $36.2 million, or 10.6%, to $379.3 million, compared to $343.1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Cooking and Beverage Appliances increased by $39.7 million, or 11.7%, from $339.6 million to $379.3 million, driven by growth in Europe. Global growth was supported by the success of the outdoor grill and outdoor oven across both the US and European markets.
• Food Preparation Appliances net sales increased by $121.5 million, or 84.8%, to $264.9 million, compared to $143.4 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Food Preparation Appliances increased by $125.9 million, or 90.6%, from $139.0 million to $264.9 million, driven by strong sales of our ice cream makers and portable blenders.
• Net sales in the Other category increased by $88.3 million, or 176.2%, to $138.4 million, compared to $50.1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales in the Other category increased by $98.9 million, or 251.0%, from $39.4 million to $138.4 million, primarily driven by strength of haircare products, our FlexBreeze fans, and air purifiers.

Gross profit increased 51.4% to $600.9 million, or 48.1% of net sales, compared to $396.9 million, or 41.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted Gross Profit increased 56.0% to $614.1 million, or 49.2% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $393.6 million, or 43.5% of Adjusted Net Sales in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin of 630 and 570 basis points, respectively, was derived from optimizations within our supply chain, sourcing and costing strategy, regional expansion, and foreign exchange benefit.

Research and development expenses increased 47.6% to $90.1 million, or 7.2% of net sales, compared to $61.0 million, or 6.4% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by incremental personnel-related expenses of $12.0 million to support new product categories and new market expansion, which includes an increase of $1.4 million in share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 45.5% to $303.2 million, or 24.3% of net sales, compared to $208.3 million, or 21.9% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of $58.9 million in advertising-related expenses; an increase of $26.7 million in delivery and distribution costs driven by higher volumes, particularly in our DTC business; and $10.4 million in personnel-related expenses to support new product launches and expansion into new markets, which includes an incremental $1.7 million of share-based compensation.

General and administrative expenses increased 44.3% to $103.8 million, or 8.3% of net sales, compared to $72.0 million, or 7.6% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in personnel-related expenses of $16.1 million, primarily due to a $8.6 million increase in share-based compensation; an increase of $8.0 million in legal fees; an increase of $7.3 million in professional and consulting fees; an increase of $6.7 million in technology support costs; an increase of $3.6 million in product liability and insurance; an increase of $2.3 million in credit card processing and merchant fees; offset by a decrease in transaction costs related to the separation and distribution from JS Global of $15.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we regularly review other financial measures, defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, prepare financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions.

The key non-GAAP financial measures we consider are Adjusted Net Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Net Sales growth on a constant currency basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by both management and our Board, together with comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or which occur relatively infrequently and/or which management considers to be unrelated to our core operations and excludes the financial results from our former Japanese subsidiary, SharkNinja Co., Ltd. (“SNJP”), and our Asia Pacific Region and Greater China ("APAC") distribution channels, both of which were transferred to JS Global Lifestyle Company Limited (“JS Global”) concurrently with the separation (the “Divestitures”), as well as the cost of sales from (i) inventory markups that were eliminated as a result of the transition of certain product procurement functions from a subsidiary of JS Global to SharkNinja concurrently with the separation and (ii) costs related to the transitional Sourcing Services Agreement with JS Global that was entered into in connection with the separation (collectively, the “Product Procurement Adjustment”). Management believes that tracking and presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our ongoing core operations, our ability to generate cash and the underlying business trends that are affecting our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with our GAAP financial information, also allow investors to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry and to better understand and interpret the results of the ongoing business following the separation and distribution. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and you are cautioned that other companies may define these non-GAAP financial measures differently.

SharkNinja does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income or of Adjusted Net Income Per Share to net income per share, diluted because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including, in particular, the realized and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses reported within other expense. For the same reasons, we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions and additions needed in order to provide forward-looking GAAP net income at this time. The amount of these deductions and additions may be material, and, therefore, could result in forward-looking GAAP net income being materially different or less than forward-looking Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income Per Share. See “Forward-looking statements” above.

We define Adjusted Net Sales as net sales as adjusted to exclude certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including net sales from our Divestitures. We believe that Adjusted Net Sales is an appropriate measure of our performance because it eliminates the impact of our Divestitures that do not relate to the ongoing performance of our business.

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit as adjusted to exclude certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including the net sales and cost of sales from our Divestitures and the cost of sales from the Product Procurement Adjustment. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by Adjusted Net Sales. We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are appropriate measures of our operating performance because each eliminates the impact our Divestitures and certain other adjustments that do not relate to the ongoing performance of our business.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most comparable GAAP measure, gross profit and gross margin, respectively, for the periods presented:

Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation is completely eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the separation, we pay JS Global a sourcing service fee to provide value-added sourcing services on a transitional basis under a Sourcing Services Agreement.

We define Adjusted Operating Income as operating income excluding (i) share-based compensation, (ii) certain litigation costs, (iii) amortization of certain acquired intangible assets, (iv) certain transaction-related costs and (v) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including operating income from our Divestitures and cost of sales from our Product Procurement Adjustment.

Adjusted for operating income from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023.

We exclude amortization charges for these acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculated Adjusted Net Income, although revenue is generated, in part, by these intangible assets, to eliminate the impact of these non-cash charges that are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of JS Global’s acquisition of our business, as well as the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations.

As a result of the separation, we pay JS Global a sourcing service fee to provide value-added sourcing services on a transitional basis under a Sourcing Services Agreement.

 

(7)

Represents the income tax effects of the adjustments included in the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income determined using the tax rate of 22.0%, which approximates our effective tax rate, excluding (i) divested subsidiary net income adjustment described in footnote (8), and (ii) certain share-based compensation costs and separation and distribution-related costs that are not tax deductible.

 

(8)

Adjusted for net income (loss) from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023.

 

(9)

In calculating net income per share and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, we used the number of shares transferred in the separation and distribution for the denominator for all periods prior to completion of the separation and distribution on July 31, 2023.

We define EBITDA as net income excluding: (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding (i) share-based compensation cost, (ii) certain litigation costs, (iii) foreign currency gains and losses, net, (iv) certain transaction-related costs and (v) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including Adjusted EBITDA from our Divestitures and cost of sales from our Product Procurement Adjustment. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Net Sales. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are appropriate measures because they facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results according to GAAP, we believe provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.

(1)

Represents non-cash expense related to restricted stock unit awards issued from the SharkNinja and JS Global equity incentive plans.

 

(2)

Represents litigation costs incurred for certain patent infringement claims and false advertising claims against us.

 

(3)

Represents foreign currency transaction gains and losses recognized from the remeasurement of transactions that were not denominated in the local functional currency, including gains and losses related to foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

 

(4)

Represents certain costs incurred related to the separation and distribution from JS Global and the secondary offering transactions.

 

(5)

Represents cost of sales incurred related to the Product Procurement Adjustment. As a result of the separation, we purchase 100% of our inventory from one of our subsidiaries, SNHK, and no longer purchase inventory from a purchasing office wholly owned by JS Global. Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation is completely eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the separation, we pay JS Global a sourcing service fee to provide value-added sourcing services on a transitional basis under a Sourcing Services Agreement.

 

(6)

Adjusted for Adjusted EBITDA from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023. The divested subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA adjustment represents net (loss) income from our Divestitures excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and foreign currency gains and losses recorded at the subsidiary level.

We refer to growth rates in Adjusted Net Sales on a constant currency basis so that results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These amounts are calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides useful information in understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results.
