Solo Brands experienced a challenging second quarter in 2025, with consolidated net sales decreasing by 29.9% to $92.3 million and a net loss of $20.8 million, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million in the prior year. The decline was largely driven by the Solo Stove segment's reduced direct-to-consumer sales due to inventory issues and a shift away from promotional activities. However, the Chubbies segment demonstrated strong performance with a 13.1% increase in net sales and a 48.3% rise in Segment EBITDA, showcasing operational leverage and efficiency gains.
Consolidated net sales for Q2 2025 were $92.3 million, a 29.9% decrease from $131.6 million in Q2 2024.
The company reported a net loss of $20.8 million, or $8.93 per basic and diluted share, significantly wider than the $4.0 million net loss in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $10.5 million, down from $15.5 million in Q2 2024, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.4%.
Chubbies segment net sales grew by 13.1% to $44.5 million, and its Segment EBITDA increased by 48.3% to $11.5 million, offsetting some of the Solo Stove segment's decline.
The company is focused on a strategic transformation towards a more disciplined, structurally smaller, profit-driven business model, despite facing top-line headwinds in the Solo Stove segment.
