PORTLAND, Tenn., Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (“Shoals” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SHLS), a leading provider of electrical balance of system (“EBOS”) solutions and components, including battery energy storage solutions (“BESS”), and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) components for the global energy transition market, today announced results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.

“2025 was an exceptional year for Shoals. While the rapidly shifting political climate brought some volatility, the massive increase in demand for energy through the rest of the decade supports strong fundamentals for our business. We are beginning to see tangible results of executing our strategic plan; expanding our product portfolio, defending share within our core markets, and diversifying our presence into new, attractive market segments. We’ve made great progress and look forward to building on the momentum,” said Brandon Moss, CEO of Shoals.

Mr. Moss added, “I’m pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter, delivering more than $148 million of revenue, an increase of 39% from the prior year. The commercial team drove continued strength in bookings, resulting in record backlog and awarded orders, or BLAO, of $747.6 million, an increase of 18% from year-end 2024, supporting the growth we see ahead. Additionally, we closed out the period with more than $67 million of BLAO attributed to our BESS offering, an exciting result.”

¹ Non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release are used by management to assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the non-GAAP reconciliation in this release. Non-GAAP measures should not be used as a substitute for the closest comparable GAAP measures.

“We enter 2026 with a strong order book and resilient underlying market demand. The strategic investments, portfolio expansion, and process improvements have positioned us exceptionally well for the coming year and beyond. Shoals has never been more diversified, and enters the year in an unprecedented competitive position. Leveraging its deep experience in Utility Solar, Shoals is growing into a multi-category leader across several market segments, which we believe will drive continued shareholder value creation. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved, but even more excited about what’s ahead,” concluded Mr. Moss.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenue increased 39%, to $148.3 million, compared to $107.0 million for the prior-year fourth quarter, driven by increased sales volumes from higher demand of products to meet utility scale solar project demands, consistent with quarter over quarter comparisons in 2025 as compared to 2024.

Gross profit increased to $46.9 million, compared to $40.2 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 31.6% compared to 37.6% in the prior-year period. The decline from the prior-year period gross profit as a percentage of revenue was the results of increased material costs and $3.3 million in duties and tariffs in Q4 2025 that were not incurred in 2024. In addition, the Company commenced its lease for a new operations facility in Portland, Tennessee, adding $1.5 million in right-of-use asset amortization in the current period as compared to the prior period.

General and administrative expenses were $27.3 million, compared to $21.5 million during the same period in the prior year. Within the balance, there was an increase in professional services related to wire insulation shrinkback, intellectual property, and securities litigation of $7.9 million, offset by $1.6 million in decreases in payroll and employee expenses.

Income from operations was $17.4 million, compared to $16.5 million during the prior-year period.

Net income and net income attributable to Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. were $8.1 million compared to net income and net income attributable to Shoals Technologies Group, Inc of $7.8 million during the prior-year period.

Basic and diluted net income per share was $0.05 compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $0.05 in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased to $30.3 million compared to $26.4 million for the prior-year period.

Adjusted gross profit¹ for fourth quarter of 2025 was $46.9 million, reflecting a 31.6% adjusted gross profit percentage¹, compared to $40.2 million and 37.6% in the prior year. There were no adjustments made to gross profit in the fourth quarters of 2025 or 2024.

Adjusted net income¹ was $17.5 million compared to $14.1 million during the same period in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ was $0.10 compared to $0.08 in the prior-year period.

Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Revenue increased 19%, to $475.3 million, compared to $399.2 million for the prior-year, driven by increased sales volumes from higher demand of products to meet utility scale solar project demands.

Gross profit was $166.5 million, compared to $142.0 million in the prior-year. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 35.0% from 35.6% in the prior-year. This decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was due to increases in tariffs, material costs, non-recurring operational charges, competitive dynamics, volume discounts, and product mix in our key markets. These decreases were offset by a reduced amount of wire insulation shrinkback expenses in the current year as compared to the prior year.

General and administrative expenses were $101.5 million, compared to $82.3 million during the prior year. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher legal and professional costs of $15.7 million. These include expenses related to intellectual property litigation that rose from $6.0 million in 2024 to $9.1 million in 2025, wire‑insulation shrinkback litigation increased from $7.2 million to $18.3 million, and shareholder litigation increased from $0.9 million to $2.5 million. Payroll and employee‑related expenses also grew by $1.3 million.  

Income from operations was $56.4 million, compared to $51.2 million during the prior year.

Net income was $33.6 million compared to net income of $24.1 million during the prior year.

Net income and net income attributable to Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. was $33.6 million compared to $24.1 million during the prior year.

Basic and diluted net income per share was $0.20 compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $0.14 in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $99.5 million compared to $99.1 million for the prior-year.

Adjusted gross profit¹ for full year 2025 was $166.5 million, reflecting a 35.0% adjusted gross profit percentage¹, compared to $155.8 million and 39.0% in the prior year.

Adjusted net income¹ increased 3% to $60.6 million compared to $58.5 million during the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ was $0.36 compared to $0.35 in the prior-year.

Backlog and Awarded Orders
The Company’s backlog and awarded orders as of December 31, 2025 were $747.6 million, which is 17.8% higher compared to the same time last year and 3.7% higher compared to September 30, 2025. The increase in backlog and awarded orders reflects continued demand for the Company’s solar products, with growth in new domestic and international markets.

Backlog represents signed purchase orders or contractual minimum purchase commitments with take-or-pay provisions and awarded orders are orders we are in the process of documenting a contract but for which a contract has not yet been signed.

First Quarter 2026 Outlook
Based on current business conditions, business trends and other factors, for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, the Company expects:

• Revenue to be in the range of $125 million to $135 million
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ to be in the range of $16 million to $21 million

Full Year 2026 Outlook
Based on current business conditions, business trends and other factors, for the full year 2026, the Company expects:

• Revenue to be in the range of $560 million to $600 million
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ to be in the range of $110 million to $130 million
• Cash Flow from operations to be in the range of $65 million to $85 million
• Capital expenditures to be in the range of $20 million to $30 million
• Interest expense to be in the range of $8 million to $12 million

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA¹ guidance, which is a forward-looking and non-GAAP measure, to the most closely comparable GAAP measure is not provided because we are unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a quantitative reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty in predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the components of the applicable GAAP measures and non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. The GAAP measures may include the impact of such items as non-cash share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and the tax effect of such items, in addition to other items we have historically excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income. We expect to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of these non-GAAP measures and may also exclude other similar items that may arise in the future.

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.

Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include, among others, If demand for solar energy projects diminishes, we may not be able to grow, and our financial results, business and prospects could be materially adversely impacted; 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; 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 from changes to trade restrictions, import tariffs, anti-dumping and countervailing duties. Such changes could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenue, results of operations or cash flows; We have modified, and in the future may modify, our business strategy to abandon lines of business or implement new lines of business. Modifying our business strategy could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results; Amounts included in our backlog and awarded orders may not result in actual revenue or translate into profits; We have experienced, and may experience in the future, delays, disruptions, quality control or reputational problems in our manufacturing operations in part due to our vendor concentration; If we fail to retain our key personnel and attract additional qualified personnel, 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; We may face difficulties integrating and optimizing our consolidated Tennessee-based manufacturing and distribution operations and may not fully realize the anticipated benefits; Safety issues 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 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; Macroeconomic conditions, including high inflation, high interest rates, and geopolitical instability impacts our business and financial results; We are subject to risks related to our ability to protect, enforce, and defend our intellectual property; Acquisitions, joint ventures and/or investments and the failure to integrate acquired businesses, could disrupt our business and negatively impact our results of operations; 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 may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects; Failure of our information technology systems, including those managed by third parties, or cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our operations and adversely 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, restrict our current and future operations, and our competitive position; Existing electric utility industry, federal state and municipal renewable energy and solar energy policies and regulations, including zoning and siting laws, and any subsequent changes, 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 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; The market price of our Class A common stock may decline and may continue to be subject to significant volatility; Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management; Our amended and restated 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.

These and other important risk factors are described more fully in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and could cause actual results to vary from expectations. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

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/(minus) (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income (iii) income tax expense, (iv) depreciation expense, (v) amortization of intangibles, (vi) equity-based compensation, (vii) gain/loss on sale of assets, (viii) wire insulation shrinkback expenses, (ix) wire insulation shrinkback litigation expenses, and (x) plant optimization 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) gain/loss on sale of assets, (vii) wire insulation shrinkback expenses, (viii) wire insulation shrinkback litigation expenses, and (ix) plant optimization 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 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.
