Looking forward, we are confident in the power of our three-pillar growth strategy to deliver sustainable, profitable long-term growth and shareholder value,” said Mark Barrocas, Chief Executive Officer.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Net sales increased 24.7% to $1,066.2 million, compared to $855.3 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales increased 27.6% to $1,066.2 million, compared to $835.6 million during the same period last year, or 26.1% 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..

Cleaning Appliances net sales increased by $7.1 million, or 1.7%, to $421.9 million, compared to $414.9 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Cleaning Appliances increased by $23.4 million, or 5.9%, from $398.5 million to $421.9 million, driven by the extractor and robotics sub-categories.

Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased by $73.0 million, or 28.4%, to $329.6 million, compared to $256.7 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Cooking and Beverage Appliances increased by $74.4 million, or 29.2%, from $255.2 million to $329.6 million, driven by growth in Europe, specifically in the United Kingdom, where we strengthened our leading market position. Our global growth was also 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 $87.2 million, or 74.0%, to $205.0 million, compared to $117.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Food Preparation Appliances increased by $89.0 million, or 76.7%, from $116.1 million to $205.0 million, driven by strong sales of our ice cream makers and compact blenders, specifically our portable blenders.

Net sales and Adjusted Net Sales in the Other category increased by $43.7 million, or 66.4%, to $109.6 million, compared to $65.9 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by continued strength of haircare products within the beauty category, increased sales in the air purifier sub-category resulting from product innovations, and the successful new product launch of our FlexBreeze fans.

Gross profit increased 31.5% to $526.6 million, or 49.4% of net sales, compared to $400.5 million, or 46.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted Gross Profit increased 33.2% to $541.7 million, or 50.8% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $406.8 million, or 48.7% of Adjusted Net Sales in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin of 260 and 210 basis points, respectively, was primarily driven by continued supply chain tailwinds and cost optimization efforts.

Research and development expenses increased 18.5% to $69.6 million, or 6.5% of net sales, compared to $58.7 million, or 6.9% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by incremental personnel-related expenses of $8.7 million driven by increased headcount to support new product categories and new market expansion, and includes an increase of $3.3 million in share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 41.1% to $214.6 million, or 20.1% of net sales, compared to $152.1 million, or 17.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of $26.4 million in advertising-related expenses; an increase of $19.0 million in delivery and distribution costs driven by higher volumes, particularly in our DTC business; and $14.1 million in personnel-related expenses to support new product launches and expansion into new markets, which includes an incremental $2.5 million of share-based compensation.

General and administrative expenses increased 30.5% to $87.5 million, or 8.2% of net sales, compared to $67.1 million, or 7.8% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in personnel-related expenses of $15.9 million, primarily due to a $12.8 million increase in share-based compensation; an increase of $8.4 million in legal fees; an increase of $5.3 million in professional and consulting fees; offset by a decrease in transaction costs related to the separation and distribution from JS Global and secondary offering of $17.1 million.

Operating income increased 26.3% to $154.9 million, or 14.5% of net sales, compared to $122.6 million, or 14.3% of net sales, during the prior year quarter. Adjusted Operating Income increased 26.9% to $202.2 million, or 19.0% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $159.3 million, or 19.1% of Adjusted Net Sales, in the first quarter of 2023.

Net income increased 25.9% to $109.6 million, or 10.3% of net sales, compared to $87.1 million, or 10.2% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Net income per diluted share increased 23.8% to $0.78, compared to $0.63 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted Net Income increased 24.8% to $148.6 million, or 13.9% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $119.0 million, or 14.2% of Adjusted Net Sales, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share increased 23.3% to $1.06, compared to $0.86 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 29.5% to $230.5 million, or 21.6% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $178.0 million, or 21.3% of Adjusted Net Sales in the prior year quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $131.9 million, compared to $154.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

Inventories increased 7.2% to $750.0 million, compared to $699.7 million as of December 31, 2023.

Total debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, was $799.9 million, compared to $804.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The existing credit facility provides for a $810.0 million term loan and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

For fiscal year 2024, SharkNinja expects:

Net sales to increase 10.0% to 12.0% and Adjusted Net Sales to increase between 12.0% and 14.0% compared to the prior year.

Adjusted Net Income per diluted share between $3.66 and $3.82, reflecting a 14% to 19% increase compared to the prior year.

A GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 24% to 25%.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 141 million.

Capital expenditures of $160 million to $180 million primarily to support investments in new product launches, technology, and incremental investments in tooling to support the diversification of our sourcing outside of China.

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 because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. The 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 and Adjusted EBITDA. 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:

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, SharkNinja (Hong Kong) Company Limited (“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.

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 Operating Income

202,196

159,335

(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 amortization of acquired intangible assets that we do not consider normal recurring operating expenses, as the intangible assets relate to JS Global’s acquisition of our business. We exclude amortization charges for these acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating Adjusted Operating 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.

(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 operating income from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023.

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

Adjusted Net Income Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share to the most comparable GAAP measures, net income and net income per share, diluted, respectively, for the periods presented:

(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 amortization of acquired intangible assets that we do not consider normal recurring operating expenses, as the intangible assets relate to JS Global’s acquisition of our business. 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.

(5)

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

(6)

(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 months ended March 31, 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.

Adjusted for Adjusted EBITDA from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the three months ended March 31, 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.
