Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

Net sales increased 13.1% to $1,070.6 million, compared to $946.9 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales increased 14.6% to $1,057.4 million, compared to $922.9 million during the same period last year, or 12.8% on a constant currency basis. The increase in net sales and Adjusted Net Sales resulted primarily from growth in the cooking and beverage appliances, food preparation appliances and other net sales product categories, partially offset by a decline in the cleaning appliances product category.

  • Cleaning Appliances net sales decreased by $54.1 million, or 10.7%, to $449.3 million, compared to $503.4 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Cleaning Appliances decreased by $43.6 million, or 9.0%, from $486.1 million to $442.5 million, driven by softness in the North America market for corded and cordless vacuums. This net sales decline was partially offset by growth in the carpet extraction sub-category driven by new product innovation.
  • Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased by $78.9 million, or 30.3%, to $339.3 million, compared to $260.4 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Cooking and Beverage Appliances increased by $80.0 million, or 31.0%, from $258.2 million to $338.1 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 full quarter of sales of our outdoor grill that launched in the second half of 2022, which continues to perform well across the US and European markets.
  • Food Preparation Appliances net sales increased by $50.2 million, or 31.1%, to $211.5 million, compared to $161.3 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales of Food Preparation Appliances increased by $52.5 million, or 33.5%, from $156.8 million to $209.3 million, driven by strong sales of our ice cream makers and compact blenders, led by the launch of our new portable blenders.
  • Other net sales increased by $48.7 million, or 223.2%, to $70.5 million, compared to $21.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Sales in the other category increased by $45.7 million, or 209.3%, from $21.8 million to $67.5 million, primarily driven by continued strength of haircare products within the beauty category.

Gross profit increased 41.9% to $487.5 million, or 45.5% of net sales, compared to $343.5 million, or 36.3% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted Gross Profit increased 43.1% to $505.5 million, or 47.8% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $353.2 million, or 38.3% of Adjusted Net Sales in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin of 920 and 950 basis points, respectively, was primarily driven by continued supply chain tailwinds, cost optimization efforts and a favorable pricing and promotional mix.

Research and development expenses increased 12.5% to $60.7 million, or 5.7% of net sales, compared to $54.0 million, or 5.7% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by incremental personnel-related expenses of $7.1 million driven by increased headcount to support new product categories and new market expansion, as well as a $2.9 million increase in share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 55.9% to $207.6 million, or 19.4% of net sales, compared to $133.1 million, or 14.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of $38.2 million in advertising-related expenses and $9.6 million in personnel-related expenses to support new product launches and expansion into new markets, which includes an incremental $1.8 million of share-based compensation, and an increase of $14.0 million in delivery and distribution costs driven by higher volumes, particularly in our direct-to-consumer ("DTC") business.

General and administrative expenses increased 163.5% to $124.7 million, or 11.6% of net sales, compared to $47.3 million, or 5.0% of net sales in the prior year quarter. Included in general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2023 is $41.5 million of costs related to the separation and distribution from JS Global, as well as incremental personnel-related expenses of $21.9 million, of which $15.7 million is attributable to increased share-based compensation.

Operating income decreased 13.3% to $94.5 million, or 8.8% of net sales, compared to $109.1 million, or 11.5% of net sales, during the prior year quarter. Adjusted Operating Income increased 44.1% to $190.1 million, or 18.0% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $131.9 million, or 14.3% of Adjusted Net Sales, in the third quarter of 2022.

Net income decreased 76.7% to $18.7 million, or 1.7% of net sales, compared to $80.3 million, or 8.5% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Net income per diluted share decreased 76.8% to $0.13, compared to $0.58 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted Net Income increased 34.0% to $133.0 million, or 12.6% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $99.2 million, or 10.8% of Adjusted Net Sales, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share increased 33.6% to $0.95, compared to $0.71 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 38.4% to $208.7 million, or 19.7% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $150.8 million, or 16.3% of Adjusted Net Sales in the prior year quarter.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Net sales increased 13.5% to $2,876.2 million, compared to $2,534.7 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales increased 13.4% to $2,798.7 million, compared to $2,468.8 million during the same period last year, or 13.7% on a constant currency-basis. The increase in net sales resulted primarily from growth in the cooking and beverage appliances, food preparation appliances and other net sales product categories, partially offset by a decline in the cleaning appliances product category.

  • Cleaning Appliances net sales decreased by $73.6 million, or 5.4%, to $1,278.0 million, compared to $1,351.6 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales of Cleaning Appliances decreased by $72.7 million, or 5.6%, from $1,301.3 million to $1,228.6 million driven by softness in the North America market for corded and cordless vacuums. This net sales decline was partially offset by growth in the carpet extraction sub-category driven by new product innovation.
  • Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased by $242.5 million, or 34.8%, to $939.1 million, compared to $696.6 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales of Cooking and Beverage Appliances increased by $242.2 million, or 35.1%%, from $690.7 million to $932.9 million driven by growth in Europe, specifically in the United Kingdom with air fryers, where we strengthened our leading market position. Our global growth was further supported by the full nine months of sales of our outdoor grill that launched in the second half of 2022, which continues to perform well across the US and European markets.
  • Food Preparation Appliances net sales increased by $45.3 million, or 10.6%, to $472.7 million, compared to $427.4 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales of Food Preparation Appliances increased by $46.6 million, or 11.2%, from $417.7 million to $464.4 million driven by strong sales of our ice cream makers and blenders.
  • Other net sales increased by $127.3 million, or 215.2%, to $186.5 million, compared to $59.2 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales in the other category increased by $113.6 million, or 192.1%, from $59.2 million to $172.8 million driven by continued strength of haircare products within the beauty category.

Gross profit increased 30.2% to $1,285.0 million, or 44.7% of net sales, compared to $986.9 million, or 38.9% of net sales, in the same period last year. Adjusted Gross Profit increased 28.8% to $1,305.9 million, or 46.7% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $1,013.6 million, or 41.1% of Adjusted Net Sales. The increase in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin of 580 and 560 basis points, respectively, was primarily driven by continued supply chain tailwinds, cost optimization efforts and a favorable pricing and promotional mix. We also drove strong sales through our higher margin DTC channel, specifically in the beauty category.

Research and development expenses increased 12.8% to $180.4 million, or 6.3% of net sales, compared to $160.0 million, or 6.3% of net sales during the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $15.4 million in personnel-related expenses driven by increased headcount to support new product categories and new market expansion, as well as a $2.6 million increase in share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 40.1% to $568.0 million, or 19.7% of net sales, compared to $405.3 million, or 16.0% of net sales during the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to increases of $75.2 million in advertising-related expenses and $22.7 million in personnel-related expenses to support new product launches and expansion into new markets, which includes an incremental $2.0 million of share-based compensation, and an increase of $35.2 million in delivery and distribution costs driven by higher volumes, particularly in our DTC business. The remaining increase in sales and marketing was driven by an increase in public relations expenses, depreciation and amortization, professional services, and payment processing fees related to the DTC channel.

General and administrative expenses increased 71.2% to $263.7 million, or 9.2% of net sales, compared to $154.0 million, or 6.1% of net sales during the same period last year. Included in general and administrative expenses in 2023 is $76.5 million of costs related to the separation and distribution from JS Global, as well as incremental personnel-related expenses of $22.1 million, of which $14.5 million is attributable to increased share-based compensation.

Operating income increased 2.0% to $272.8 million, or 9.5% of net sales, compared to $267.6 million, or 10.6% of net sales, during the same period last year. Adjusted Operating Income increased 29.5% to $438.1 million, or 15.7% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $338.4 million, or 13.7% of Adjusted Net Sales, during the same period last year.

Inventories increased 44.4% to $792.2 million, compared to $548.6 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily driven by demand planning for the upcoming holiday season.

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, 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., and our Asia Pacific Region and Greater China 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 will be 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 amount that are necessary for such reconciliation, 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.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Net Sales to the most comparable GAAP measure, net sales, for the periods presented:

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.

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 separation and distribution 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.

(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) the withholding adjustment described in footnote (8), (ii) divested subsidiary net income adjustment described in footnote (9), and (iii) certain share-based compensation costs and separation and distribution-related costs that are not tax deductible.

(10)

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 separation and distribution 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.

The following table reconciles EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the most comparable GAAP measure, net income, for the periods presented:

(1)

Represents non-cash expense related to restricted stock unit awards issued from the JS Global and SharkNinja 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. The total net gain (loss) recognized on our derivative instruments related to forward contracts outstanding not designated as hedging instruments included in the total of foreign currency gains (losses), net, was $0.7 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $(31.6) million and $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
 

(4)

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

(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 will be 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2022. 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.
