Solo Brands, Inc. reported a net loss of $113.4 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, compared to a loss of $111.3 million in the previous year. The company's total revenue decreased by 8.1% to $454.6 million, down from $494.8 million in 2023. This decline was primarily attributed to a significant drop in sales from the Solo Stove segment, which saw a decrease in direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales by 10.9% and retail sales by 11.6%. The company noted that the lack of new product launches in 2024, in contrast to the previous year’s successful product introductions, significantly impacted sales performance.
In response to these challenges, Solo Brands undertook several strategic initiatives throughout 2024, including the termination of underperforming marketing agreements and the winding down of the IcyBreeze reporting unit, which had not met performance expectations. The company also reorganized its Oru and ISLE reporting units to capitalize on potential synergies and reduce costs. These restructuring efforts resulted in a total of $136.1 million in restructuring, contract termination, and impairment charges, which included $25 million related to goodwill impairment for the Solo Stove reporting unit.
Operationally, Solo Brands has focused on enhancing its supply chain and logistics capabilities, with a current employee headcount of approximately 526. The company has also expanded its retail presence, operating 12 Chubbies retail stores and one ISLE surf pro-shop, contributing to a growing international market presence. However, the company faces ongoing challenges, including increased tariffs on imported goods, which have raised costs and could further impact profitability.
Looking ahead, Solo Brands has expressed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, given its accumulated deficit of $228.8 million and total debt of $150.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The company is actively exploring refinancing options and operational improvements to enhance liquidity and financial stability. Despite these efforts, the company acknowledges that there are no guarantees of success in these endeavors, and it may face difficulties in meeting its financial obligations in the near future.
