Highlights for the Second Quarter 2023 as compared to the Second Quarter 2022
Net sales increased 22.1% to $950.3 million and Adjusted net Sales increased 19.7%, both driven by strong sales of recently launched products in the outdoor cooking and beauty categories.
Gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin increased 430 and 370 basis points, respectively, as we benefited from cost tailwinds including inbound freight costs.
Net income decreased 27.6% to $11.9 million. Adjusted Net Income increased 40.4% to $65.2 million.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 40.0% to $113.6 million, or 12.5% of Adjusted Net Sales.
Mark Barrocas, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We believe our strong performance in the second quarter as well as the first half of the year, highlighted by double-digit sales and EBITDA growth, demonstrates our ability to execute on our three-pillar growth strategy. We continue to increase market share in existing categories, pioneer new categories through innovation, and globalize our brand. These results build upon a proven track record of delivering profitable, organic growth through high performance products that address everyday consumer challenges."
"Our recent debut as a public company in the US was an important milestone for us. However, we believe we are only just getting started. We are committed to creating long-term shareholder value through continued diversification across categories, channels, and geographies as we strive to capture additional share of our large global addressable market."
Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
Net sales increased 22.1% to $950.3 million, compared to $778.2 million during the same period last year. Adjusted Net Sales increased 19.7% to $905.6 million, compared to $756.4 million during the same period last year, or 19.8% on a constant currency basis. The increase in net sales and Adjusted Net Sales resulted primarily from strong sales of recently launched products in the outdoor cooking and beauty categories.
Cleaning Appliances net sales increased by $2.6 million, or 0.6%, to $413.8 million, compared to $411.2 million in the prior year quarter, driven by growth in the multi-floorcare sub-category and by new product innovation. This increase was partially offset by softness in the North America market, specifically in corded vacuums as consumers shifted towards cordless.
Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased by $139.0 million, or 68.1%, to $343.1 million, compared to $204.0 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was driven by growth in Europe, specifically in the United Kingdom, where we further 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 $5.7 million, or 4.1%, to $143.4 million, compared to $137.7 million in the prior year quarter driven by strong sales from our ice cream makers.
Other net sales increased by $24.8 million, or 98.3%, to $50.0 million, compared to $25.3 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was driven by continued strength of the Shark FlexStyle, our new product launch in the beauty category at the end of 2022.
Gross profit increased 36.2% to $396.9 million, or 41.8% of net sales, compared to $291.5 million, or 37.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted Gross Profit increased 30.7% to $393.6 million, or 43.5% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $301.1 million, or 39.8% of Adjusted Net Sales in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin of 430 and 370 basis points, respectively, was primarily driven by cost tailwinds, including lower average inbound freight on major shipping lanes. We also drove strong sales through our higher margin direct-to-consumer ("DTC") channel, particularly in the beauty category.
Research and development expenses increased 13.0% to $61.0 million, or 6.4% of net sales, compared to $54.0 million, or 6.9% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Increased headcount to support new product categories and new market expansion was the primary driver of the year-over-year increase in research and development expense.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 42.1% to $208.3 million, or 21.9% of net sales, compared to $146.6 million, or 18.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to $27.0 million in higher advertising-related expenses to support our launch into new markets and new sub-categories, a $14.9 million increase in fulfillment expenses to support our sales growth, and a $9.0 million increase in personnel-related expenses driven by additional increased headcount to support the overall growth in the business and new market expansion.
General and administrative expenses increased 31.5% to $72.0 million, or 7.6% of net sales, compared to $54.7 million, or 7.0% of net sales in the prior year quarter. Included in general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2023 is $16.6 million of costs related to the separation and distribution from JS Global.
Operating income increased 54.1% to $55.6 million, or 5.9% of net sales, compared to $36.1 million, or 4.8% of net sales, during the prior year quarter. Adjusted Operating Income increased 39.3% to $88.7 million, or 9.8% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $63.6 million, or 8.4% of Adjusted Net Sales, in the second quarter of 2022.
Net income decreased 27.6% to $11.9 million, or 1.3% of net sales, compared to $16.5 million, or 2.1% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Net income per diluted share decreased 27.6% to $0.09, compared to $0.12 in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted Net Income increased 40.4% to $65.2 million, or 7.2% of Adjusted Net Sales, compared to $46.4 million, or 6.1% of Adjusted Net Sales, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Income per diluted share increased 40.4% to $0.47, compared to $0.33 in the prior year quarter.

The increase in net sales and Adjusted Net Sales resulted primarily from strong sales of recently launched products in the outdoor cooking and beauty categories.
Cleaning Appliances net sales decreased by $19.5 million, or 2.3%, to $828.7 million, compared to $848.2 million during the same period last year driven by softness in the North America market, specifically in corded vacuums as consumers shifted towards cordless. This sales decline was partially offset by growth in the multi-floorcare sub-category driven by new product innovation.
Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased by $163.6 million, or 37.5%, to $599.7 million, compared to $436.1 million during the same period last year. This increase was driven by growth in Europe, specifically in the United Kingdom where we strengthened our leading market position, partially offset by modest declines in North America. Our global growth was further supported by the full six 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 decreased by $4.9 million, or 1.9%, to $261.2 million, compared to $266.2 million during the same period last year driven by strong sales from our ice cream makers.
Other net sales increased by $78.6 million, or 210.6%, to $116.0 million, compared to $37.3 million during the same period last year. This increase was primarily a result of strong sales of our new product launch in the beauty category, the Shark FlexStyle, at the end of 2022.

Research and development expenses increased 13.0% to $119.7 million, or 6.6% of net sales, compared to $106.0 million, or 6.7% of net sales during the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $8.3 million in personnel-related expenses driven by increased headcount to support new product categories and new market expansion and an increase of $2.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 32.4% to $360.4 million, or 20.0% of net sales, compared to $272.2 million, or 17.1% of net sales during the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $37.1 million in advertising-related expenses to support our launch into new markets and new sub-categories, an increase of $21.3 million in fulfillment expenses to support increased sales, an increase of $13.1 million in personnel-related expenses driven by increased headcount to support the overall growth in the business and new market expansion, an increase of $4.3 million in professional services related to third-party consulting fees and an increase of $3.2 million in depreciation and amortization expenses.

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 inventory markups that were eliminated as a result of transitioning certain product procurement functions from a subsidiary of JS Global to SharkNinja concurrently with the separation (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.

Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation will be completely eliminated in consolidation. |
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.

(9) | In calculating net income per share and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, the Company has used the number of shares transferred in the separation and distribution for the denominator. | |
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 net income 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 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.
