Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Organization and Business Organization and Business
Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on November 4, 2020 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (“IPO”) and other related organizational transactions to carry on the business of Shoals Parent LLC and its subsidiaries (“Shoals Parent LLC”). Shoals Parent LLC was a Delaware limited liability company. The IPO was completed on January 29, 2021. In connection with the IPO, through a series of transactions, the Company became the sole managing member of Shoals Parent LLC and Shoals Parent LLC received shares of Class B common stock of the Company. In March 2023 in connection with the elimination of the Company’s “Up-C” structure as described below, all of the issued and outstanding Company Class B shares were converted to Class A common stock.
On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its limited liability interests of Shoals Parent LLC (“LLC Interests”) to its wholly-owned subsidiary Shoals Intermediate Parent, Inc. (“Shoals Intermediate Parent”). Following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the umbrella-partnership C corporation structure (“Up-C structure”). Effective July 1, 2023, the Company owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shoals Intermediate Parent. Following the elimination of the Up-C structure, effective December 31, 2023, the Company consummated an internal reorganization transaction whereby certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries merged with and into other subsidiaries. As part of this reorganization, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent, with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
As of December 31, 2025, Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. owns directly or indirectly five subsidiaries: Shoals Intermediate Parent, Shoals Technologies Group, LLC, Shoals International, LLC, Shoals Energy Spain, S.L., and Shoals Energy Australia Pty Ltd.
The Company is headquartered in Portland, Tennessee and is leading design-engineering and manufacturer of advanced electrical infrastructure solutions for mission‑critical applications across solar photovoltaic (PV), battery energy storage solutions (BESS), and data center power systems for the global energy transition market.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Non-Controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests on the consolidated statements of operations represented a portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests in the Company’s former subsidiary, Shoals Parent LLC, formerly held by direct or indirect holders of LLC Interests and our Class B common stock, including the founder and certain current and former executive officers, employees and their respective permitted
transferees (the “Continuing Equity Owners”). Activity related to non-controlling interests on the Statements of Changes in Members’ / Stockholders’ Equity represents activity related to the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by such unit holders. As of March 2023, the Company, along with wholly-owned subsidiary Shoals Intermediate Parent, owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for obsolete or slow moving inventory, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, equity-based compensation expense and warranty liability.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand, cash held in demand deposit accounts, and all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable is comprised of amounts billed to customers, net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management and is based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. Periodically, management reviews the accounts receivable balances of its customers and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables when all attempts to collect have failed, although collection efforts may continue.
Unbilled Receivables
Unbilled receivables arise when the Company recognizes revenue for amounts which cannot yet be billed under terms of the contract with the customer.
Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in first-out method. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment acquired in acquisitions are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition; all other property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Improvements, betterments and replacements which significantly extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
A gain or loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment is calculated as the difference between the cost of the asset disposed of, net of accumulated depreciation, and the sales proceeds received. A gain or loss on an asset disposal is recognized in the period that the sale occurs.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When events, circumstances or operating results indicate that the carrying values of long-lived assets might not be recoverable through future operations, the Company prepares projections of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the projections indicate that the recorded amounts are not expected to be recoverable, such amounts are reduced to estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based upon internal evaluation of each asset that includes quantitative analyses of net revenue and cash flows, review of recent sales of similar assets and market responses based upon discussions in connection with offers received from potential buyers. Management determined there was no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Goodwill
Goodwill is assessed using either a qualitative assessment or quantitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. The qualitative assessment evaluates factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry-specific and company-specific considerations, legal and regulatory environments, and historical performance. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment is performed. Otherwise, no further assessment is required. The quantitative approach compares the estimated fair value of the reporting units to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Impairment is indicated if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, and an impairment charge is recognized for the differential.
The Company completes its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 each year. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of its goodwill and determined no impairment. Since the Company’s formation on May 9, 2017, the Company has not had any goodwill impairment.
Amortizable and Other Intangible Assets
The Company amortizes identifiable intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, developed technology, trade names, backlog and noncompete agreements because these assets have finite lives. The Company’s intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight‐line basis over the estimated useful lives. The basis of amortization approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews for impairment indicators of finite-lived intangibles, as described in the “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” significant accounting policy.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs consist primarily of registration fees, filing fees, listing fees, specific legal and accounting costs and transfer agent fees, which are direct and incremental fees related to the IPO and secondary offerings.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred to issue debt are capitalized and recorded net of the related debt and amortized using the effective interest method as a component of interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreement.
Treasury Stock
The Company records treasury stock activities under the cost method whereby the cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. The Company’s accounting policy upon the formal retirement of treasury stock is to deduct the par value from common stock and to reflect any excess of cost over par value as a
reduction to additional paid-in capital (to the extent created by previous issuances of the shares) and then retained earnings.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the sale of EBOS systems and components. The Company determines its revenue recognition through the following steps: (i) identification of the contract or contracts with a customer, (ii) identification of the performance obligations within the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract, and (v) recognition of revenue as the performance obligation has been satisfied.
The Company’s contracts with customers predominately are accounted for as one performance obligation, as the majority of the obligations under the contracts relate to a single project. For each contract entered into, the Company determines the transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received, net of any variable consideration or options. The transaction price identified is allocated to each distinct performance obligation to deliver a good or service based on the relative standalone selling prices. Management has concluded that the prices negotiated with each individual customer are representative of the standalone selling price of the product.
Some of the Company’s sales agreements have rebates and volume-based discounts with tiered pricing which are prospective in nature. We concluded that in these situations, the incentives can represent variable consideration or options, depending upon the specifics of the agreement. In the event the agreement contains an option, the option is considered a material right and, therefore, included in the accounting for the initial arrangement. We estimate the average anticipated discount over the lifetime of the contract, and apply that discount to each contract. On a quarterly basis, we review our estimates and, if needed, updates are made and changes are applied prospectively.
The Company primarily recognizes revenue over time as a result of the continuous transfer of control of its product to the customer using the output method based on units manufactured. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contracts that provide rights to payment of the transaction price associated with work performed to date on products that do not have an alternative use to the Company. Management believes that recognizing revenue using the output method based on units manufactured best depicts the extent of transfer of control to the customer.
In certain instances the promised goods do have an alternative use. In these instances, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product. Contracts of this nature typically include customer acceptance clauses, which results in revenue recognition occurring upon customer acceptance.
Depending on the size of project, the manufacturing process generally takes from less than one week to four months to complete production. The accounting for each contract involves a judgmental process of estimating total sales, costs, and profit for each performance obligation. Cost of revenue is recognized based on the unit of production. The amount reported as revenue is determined by adding a proportionate amount of the estimated profit to the amount reported as cost of revenue.
The Company has elected to adopt certain practical expedients and exemptions as allowed under the new revenue recognition guidance such as (i) recording sales commissions as incurred because the amortization period is less than one year, (ii) excluding any collected sales tax amounts from the calculation of revenue, and (iii) accounting for shipping and handling activities that are incurred after the customer has obtained control of the product as fulfillment costs rather than a separate service provided to the customer for which consideration would need to be allocated (see Shipping and Handling).
Shipping and Handling
The Company accounts for shipping and handling related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill its promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, payment by the Company’s customers for shipping and handling costs for delivery of the Company’s products are recorded as a component of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling expenses are included as a component of cost of revenue as incurred and totaled $5.3 million, $4.6 million and $5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Concentrations
The Company has cash deposited at certain financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses on such amount and believes it is not subject to significant credit risk related to cash balances. As of December 31, 2025, $6.8 million of the Company’s bank balances were in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
The Company had the following revenue concentrations representing approximately 10% or more of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and related accounts receivable concentrations as of December 31, 2025, and 2024:

Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company follows a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value and is considered level 2, as it is based on current market rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar terms.
Income Taxes
The Company is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Prior to July 1, 2023, the Company’s sole material asset was Shoals Parent LLC, which was a limited liability company that was taxed as a partnership for US federal and certain state and local income tax purposes. Shoals Parent
LLC’s net taxable income and related tax credits, if any, were passed through to its members and included in the member’s tax returns.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the income tax expense financial statement caption in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not have any material interest and penalties during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company files U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities for various time periods, depending on each jurisdictions’ rules, beginning generally after the income tax returns are filed.
Product Warranty
The Company offers an assurance type warranty for its products against manufacturer defects and does not contain a service element. For these assurance type warranties, a provision for estimated future costs related to warranty expense is recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable. This provision is based on historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of claims for each product line. When little or no experience exists for an immature product line, the estimate is based on comparable product lines. Specific liabilities are established once an issue is identified with the amounts for such liabilities based on the estimated cost of correction. These estimates are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis using best-available information and revisions to estimates are made as necessary. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 our estimated warranty liability was $3.6 million and $41.0 million, respectively. See further discussion of warranty related matters in Note 8 - Warranty Liability.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes equity-based compensation expense based on the equity award’s grant date fair value. The determination of the fair value of equity awards issued to employees of the Company is based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the grant date. Equity-based compensation expense related to performance stock units is recognized if it is probable that the performance
condition will be satisfied. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The grant date fair value of each unit is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, including those units with graded vesting. However, the amount of equity-based compensation at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant date fair value of the award that is vested.
Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares, such as unvested restricted stock units, were exercised and converted into shares. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and were dilutive.
Segment Reporting
ASC 280 (“Segment Reporting”) establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating and reportable segment and derives revenues from selling its product.
Foreign Currency Remeasurement
The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the United States dollar. Remeasurement gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included the consolidated statements of operations.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were not material to our consolidated financial statements.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were not material to our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards
Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and applied the new disclosure requirements prospectively to the current annual period. Prior period disclosures have not been adjusted to reflect the new disclosure requirements. See Note 16 Income Taxes in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.
Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software to current development practices, clarifies when to begin capitalizing costs, and enhances disclosure requirements. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-06 is not expected to significantly change our current accounting for internal-use software.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, to establish guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The new guidance leverages the principles in the accounting framework for government assistance in International Accounting Standard 20 "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance". The new guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-10 is not expected to significantly change our current accounting for incentives from federal, state, and local governments.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Guarantees and Product Warranties [Abstract]  
Warranty Liability Warranty Liability
General Warranty
The Company offers an assurance type warranty for its products against manufacturer defects which does not contain a service element. For these assurance type warranties, a provision for estimated future costs related to warranty expense is recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our estimated general warranty liability was approximately $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Company recorded total warranty expense related to general warranty matters of $0.5 million, $1.9 million, and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Wire Insulation Shrinkback Warranty
The Company was notified by certain customers that a subset of wire harnesses used in its EBOS solutions has presented unacceptable levels of contraction of wire insulation (“wire insulation shrinkback”). Based upon the Company’s assessment, the Company currently believes the wire insulation shrinkback is related to defective wire manufactured by Prysmian Cables and Systems USA, LLC (“Prysmian”). Based on the Company’s continued analysis of information available as of the date of this Annual Report, the Company determined that a loss was both probable and reasonably estimable. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company disclosed an initial range of potential loss from $59.7 million to $184.9 million. The Company recorded warranty expense for this matter of $59.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined it was appropriate to adjust the range of estimates previously provided based on additional information obtained. The low-end of the estimated range increased to $73.0 million and the high-end decreased to $160.0 million. The Company recorded warranty expense of $13.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company believes the potential estimated loss for this matter is $73.0 million, which represents the best estimate of the potential loss as of December 31, 2025, of which $69.7 million has been incurred to date. As of December 31, 2025, our recorded remaining warranty liability related to this matter was $3.3 million. It is reasonably possible that our liability could exceed the amount recorded, including due to additional reports of wire insulation shrinkback at previously affected and reported solar projects or at projects not previously reported or otherwise identified. Any excess amounts remain uncertain.
The estimated loss, as revised, continues to be based on several assumptions, including estimated failure rates, future notification of impacted harnesses, the potential magnitude of engineering, procurement and construction firm’s labor cost to identify and perform the repair and replacement of impacted harnesses, materials replacement cost, planned remediation method, and inspection costs. While our wire insulation shrinkback warranty liability represents our best estimate of expected losses, the Company will monitor future activity to best estimate potential losses. The Company has increased, and may further increase, its estimated warranty liability from its current estimate based on available information, including future remediation efforts and the scope of future replacements, if any. Such increase may be material. The Company does not maintain insurance for product warranty issues and has commenced a lawsuit against Prysmian, as discussed in more detail under Wire Insulation Shrinkback Litigation section of Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies. Because the lawsuit against Prysmian is ongoing, potential recovery from Prysmian is not considered probable as defined in ASC 450, Contingencies, and has not been considered in our estimate of the warranty liability as of December 31, 2025.
The Company recorded total warranty expense related to this matter of zero, $13.3 million, and $59.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On November 25, 2020 Shoals Holdings LLC, a former subsidiary of the Company, entered into a senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), consisting of (i) a $350.0 million senior secured six-year term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), (ii) a $30.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility, maturing concurrently with the six-year Term Loan Facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”) and (iii) an uncommitted super senior first out revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
In December 2020, Shoals Holdings LLC entered into two amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement in order to obtain a $100.0 million increase to the Revolving Credit Facility and modify the terms of the interest rate and prepayment premium. As part of the first amendment the Company repaid and terminated all outstanding commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility.
On May 2, 2022, Shoals Holdings LLC entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement in order to increase the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $150.0 million. The amendment also set forth Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the benchmark rate.
On December 27, 2023, the Company used proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to make a $50.0 million voluntary prepayment of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. On January 19, 2024, the Company used proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to make a $100.0 million voluntary prepayment of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility.
On March 19, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. The amendment, among other things, (i) increased the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $200.0 million, (ii) reduced the interest rate margin applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility by at least 0.25%, with additional 0.25% step-downs if the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio does not exceed certain thresholds (which step-downs will step back up if such leverage ratio exceeds those thresholds), (iii) reduced the commitment fee applicable to the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by at least 0.10% with additional 0.05% step-downs if the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio does not exceed certain thresholds (which step-downs will step back up if such leverage ratio exceeds such thresholds), (iv) lowered the maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement to (a) 4.25:1.00 from April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025 and (b) thereafter, 4.00:1.00 (with temporary increases to the maximum consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio in the event a material acquisition closes), (v) extended the maturity date applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility to March 19, 2029, the fifth anniversary of the amendment’s effective date, (vi) amended certain covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement in a manner customary for facilities of this type, and (vii) Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. became the sole borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement.
On March 19, 2024, the Company made a $43.8 million voluntary prepayment of all the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility, thereby terminating all term loan commitments under the Term Loan Facility.
Beginning March 19, 2024 and until the delivery of the Company’s compliance certificate for the second quarter of 2024 pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either adjusted term SOFR or base rate (each, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) plus (i) in the case of SOFR rate loans, 2.50% per annum and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, 1.50% per annum.
Following the delivery of the Company’s compliance certificate for the second quarter of 2024, and as of December 31, 2025, pursuant to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either adjusted term SOFR or base rate (each, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) plus an applicable interest rate margin, based upon the consolidated first lien secured leverage ratio. The applicable interest rate margin varies from 2.25% to 3.00% per annum for term benchmark loans and 1.25% to 2.00% per annum for base rate loans. As of December 31, 2025, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility ranged from 6.77% to 7.03%, which represented SOFR plus 3.0%.
As of December 31, 2025, there were $136.8 million of outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Company had $60.5 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Guarantees and Security
The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.’s and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries other than certain immaterial subsidiaries and other
excluded subsidiaries. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Shoals Technologies Group Inc.’s and the guarantors’ existing and future property and assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, investment property, other personal property, material owned real property, cash and proceeds of the foregoing.
Prepayments and Amortization
Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility may be voluntarily prepaid, at Shoals Technologies Group Inc.’s option, in whole, or in part, in each case without premium or penalty.
There is no scheduled amortization under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters
The Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for financings of this type, including covenants that restrict our incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, dispositions, investments, acquisitions, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control.
As discussed above, the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant that is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all the required covenants.

Basic EPS of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS of Class A common stock is computed similarly to basic EPS except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the exchange of Class B common stock under the if-converted method and the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method, if dilutive. The Company’s restricted/performance stock units are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose.

Stockholders’ Equity Stockholders’ Equity
Secondary Offerings
On March 10, 2023, the selling stockholders, which consisted of certain entities controlled by the Company’s founder, completed a secondary offering consisting of 24,501,650 shares of Class A common stock. Following this transaction, the holders of LLC Interests exchanged all the LLC Interests and corresponding shares of Class B common stock of the Company beneficially owned by them into shares of Class A common stock of the Company. As a result, upon effectiveness of such exchanges, all of the LLC Interests in Shoals Parent LLC were held by the Company, no other holders owned LLC Interests and no Class B common stock was or is outstanding. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock by the selling stockholders in this offering. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no shares of Class B common stock nor LLC Interests outstanding, and no shares of Class B common stock are currently issuable.
Shoals Parent LLC Ownership
Prior to July 1, 2023, the Company owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC, was the sole managing member of Shoals Parent LLC and had the sole voting power in, and controlled the management of, Shoals Parent LLC. On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its LLC Interests to Shoals Intermediate Parent. Following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the Company’s Up-C structure. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Prior to the Company owning 100% of Shoals Parent LLC, the remaining interest in Shoals Parent LLC was held by the Continuing Equity Owners, who could exchange at each of their respective options, in whole or in part, from time to time, their LLC Interests (along with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock (which shares were then immediately canceled)) for cash or newly issued shares of our Class A common stock. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of Shoals Parent LLC and reported non-controlling interests in its condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the limited liability company agreement of Shoals Parent LLC, Shoals Parent LLC made cash distributions to its members in an amount sufficient to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to each member’s share of Shoals Parent LLC taxable earnings. The payment of these cash distributions by Shoals Parent LLC to Continuing Equity Owners was recorded as distributions to holders of LLC Interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Common Stock Economic and Voting Rights
Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and, except as otherwise required, vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote.
Share Repurchase Program and Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement
On June 11, 2024, the Company announced a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, with an estimated
completion date of December 31, 2025. Under the Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of Class A common stock through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares of Class A common stock and the specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance metrics, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors. The shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program are held as treasury shares of the Company.
In connection with the Repurchase Program, on June 11, 2024, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR”) with Jefferies LLC to repurchase $25.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Under the terms of the ASR, the Company paid $25.0 million to Jefferies LLC on June 12, 2024, and received 2,202,643 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 60% of the notional amount of the ASR, based on the closing price of $6.81 on June 10, 2024.
As of June 12, 2024, the $25.0 million payment to Jefferies LLC was recognized as a reduction to stockholders’ equity, consisting of a $15.0 million increase in treasury stock, which reflected the value of the initial 2,202,643 shares received upon initial settlement, and a $10.0 million decrease in additional paid-in capital, which reflected the value of the shares then held by Jefferies LLC and pending final settlement of the ASR.
On August 5, 2024, in final settlement of the ASR, Jefferies LLC delivered an additional 1,705,744 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to the Company. Final settlement was based on a repurchase price of $6.40 per share, which was based on the average of the daily volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount. Upon final settlement the value of the shares was reclassified from Additional Paid-in Capital to Treasury Stock.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the Repurchase Program during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

Issuance of Additional LLC Interests
Under the limited liability company agreement of Shoals Parent LLC (“LLC Agreement”), the Company was required to cause Shoals Parent LLC to issue additional LLC Interests to the Company when the Company issued additional shares of Class A common stock. Other than as it relates to the issuance of Class A common stock in connection with an equity incentive program, the Company contributed to Shoals Parent LLC net proceeds and property, if any, received by the Company with respect to the issuance of such additional shares of Class A common stock. The Company caused Shoals Parent LLC to issue a number of LLC Interests equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued such that, at all times, the number of LLC Interests held by the Company was equal to the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company caused Shoals Parent LLC to issue to the Company a total of 601,518 LLC Interests, for the vesting of awards granted under the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan. There were no issuance of LLC Interests for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its LLC Interests in Shoals Parent LLC to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shoals Intermediate Parent. Following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the Up-C structure. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Distributions for Taxes
As a limited liability company (treated as a partnership for income tax purposes), Shoals Parent LLC did not incur significant federal, state or local income taxes, as these taxes were primarily the obligations of its members. As authorized by the LLC Agreement, Shoals Parent LLC was required to distribute cash, to the extent that Shoals Parent LLC had cash available, on a pro rata basis, to its members to the extent necessary to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to each member’s share of Shoals Parent LLC taxable earnings. Shoals Parent LLC made such tax distributions to its members quarterly, based on the single highest marginal tax rate applicable to its members applied to projected year-to-date taxable income. During the year ended December 31, 2023, tax distributions to non-controlling LLC Interests holders were $2.6 million. There was no tax distribution activity for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Other Distributions
Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the Company had the right to determine when distributions would be made to LLC members and the amount of any such distributions. If the Company authorized a distribution, such distribution was made to the members of the LLC (including the Company) pro rata in accordance with the percentages of their respective LLC units.

Lease liability, net current portionRight-of-use operating lease liabilities38,661 1,235 
Total lease liability$41,878 $2,116 
The Company entered into a lease agreement for a new manufacturing facility in order to expand the operational footprint of the Portland, Tennessee manufacturing facilities. The accounting commencement date for the lease of this new and expanded facility was September 1, 2025.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease ROU assets also include any initial direct costs and prepayments less lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. As the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including lease term, in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease arrangements are comprised primarily of real estate and equipment agreements. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to consider non-lease components as a part of the lease. The Company’s leases contain certain non-lease components for common area maintenance which are variable on a month to month basis and as such recorded as a variable lease expense as incurred.

Litigation
The Company is from time to time subject to legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, except as disclosed below, the amount of losses or gains that may be sustained, if any, would not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies, including fees and costs associated with preservation of evidence in connection with the wire insulation shrinkback litigation, as incurred.

Intellectual Property Litigation

The 2023 IP Litigations. On May 4, 2023, the Company filed a patent infringement complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against Hikam America, Inc., a corporation based in Chula Vista,
California, and its related foreign entities (together, “Hikam”), and Voltage LLC, a limited liability company based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and a related foreign entity (together, “Voltage”). The complaint primarily requests that the ITC (i) investigate unlawful imports of certain photovoltaic connectors and components that the Company alleges infringe on two valid and enforceable patents owned by the Company related to improved connectors for solar panel arrays and (ii) issue a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order against the Hikam respondents and the Voltage respondents to bar them from importing, marketing, distributing, selling, offering for sale, licensing, advertising, transferring, or otherwise using the infringing photovoltaic connectors and components in and into the United States. Also on May 4, 2023, the Company filed complaints against Hikam in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, and against Voltage in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina on the same subject matter. The District Court actions seek injunctive relief and monetary damages. The District Court actions have been stayed pending the final disposition of the ITC investigation. On August 30, 2024, the Administrative Law Judge issued a Final Initial Determination finding that Voltage violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, by importing infringing LYNX trunk bus products into the United States. However, on January 14, 2025, the ITC reversed the Administrative Law Judge’s Final Initial Determination and issued a Notice of a Commission Final Determination Finding No Violation of Section 337. The Company appealed the ITC’s decision to the Federal Circuit on February 11, 2025. The appeal is pending. On February 11, 2026, the Company and Hikam filed a voluntary, joint-dismissal that will end the legal proceedings as they pertain to Hikam. The Company’s case against Voltage remains stayed pending a ruling in the appeal.

The 2025 IP Litigations. On January 9, 2025, the Company filed a patent infringement complaint at the ITC against Voltage. This complaint cites two new patents (the ‘375 and ‘376 Patents) that cover the Company’s BLA solutions. Also on January 9, 2025, the Company filed a complaint against Voltage in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina “(the District Court case”) on the same subject matter. These complaints seek injunctive relief and, in the District Court case, damages for reasonable royalty and lost profits.
On February 6, 2026, an Administrative Law Judge at the ITC issued an Initial Determination finding that Voltage’s products infringed on Shoals ‘375 and ‘376 patents. The ITC is expected to issue a Final Determination by June 2026.
In the District Court case, a bench trial on certain equitable defenses raised by Voltage is scheduled for February 26-27 of 2026. A jury trial to resolve Shoals’ infringement claims and other remaining matters is scheduled for August 2026. On February 17, 2026, Shoals filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking additional, immediate relief to prevent the alleged infringing activities from continuing while the case is pending. Voltage’s response to this motion is due March 10, 2026.
The Company is vigorously pursuing these 2023 IP Litigations and the 2025 IP Litigations. However, at this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or impact on its business and financial results. The Company is accounting for these matters as a gain contingency, and will record any such gain in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved, in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies.

Wire Insulation Shrinkback Litigation

On October 31, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against Prysmian in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division. The Company filed an amended complaint on December 4, 2024. The amended complaint alleges that the Company suffered damages caused by defective wire Prysmian
sold to the Company from approximately 2019 through approximately 2022. The amended complaint alleges that the wire at issue in the litigation has presented unacceptable levels of wire insulation shrinkback. The amended complaint includes, among other causes of action, product liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, indemnity, and negligence claims. Mediation in this case is ongoing.
The Company seeks compensatory and punitive damages, recovery of all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the identification, repair and replacement of the Prysmian wire alleged to be defective, and other legal and equitable relief. The Company is vigorously pursuing its amended complaint, and as the Company continues to assess this matter, it may, from time to time, amend, update or supplement the amended complaint to, among other things, increase the damages sought for various purposes, including in accordance with increases to the Company’s estimated warranty liability and related expenses related to this matter. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation or the impact on its business and financial results. The Company is accounting for this matter as a gain contingency, and will record any such gain in future periods if and when the contingency is resolved, in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies.

Securities Litigation
On March 21, 2024, a purported stockholder filed a putative securities class action against the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, captioned Westchester Putnam Counties Heavy & Highway Laborers Local 60 Benefits Fund v. Shoals Technologies Group, Inc., et al. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions relating to the wire insulation shrinkback matter. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, recovery of fees and costs, and other relief that the court may find appropriate. On May 8, 2024 and May 15, 2024, respectively, similar class action complaints were filed in the same court against the Company and certain current and former officers, but these complaints also named as defendants the Company’s Board of Directors, and the selling stockholders and underwriters of the Company’s secondary public offering. While the allegations are largely similar to the first complaint, these new complaints also alleged violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. These cases were captioned Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System v. Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. and Kissimmee Utility Authority Employees Retirement Plan v. Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.
On May 24, 2024, all of these cases were consolidated into one action captioned In re Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. Securities Litigation. Plaintiff Erste Asset Management GmbH has been appointed Lead Plaintiff. On December 9, 2024, Lead Plaintiff and plaintiff Kissimmee Utility Authority Employees’ Retirement Plan filed a consolidated complaint, and on February 4, 2025, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on February 18, 2025. Plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss on April 21, 2025. On September 30, the court issued its ruling on the motion to dismiss, granting it in part and denying it in part. On January 21, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, appointment of class representatives, and approval of class counsel. Defendants’ opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion is due April 6, 2026. Plaintiffs’ reply brief in support of their motion is due May 21, 2026. In December 2025 and January 2026, the Company and the Plaintiffs engaged in court-ordered mediation. This case is ongoing.
Although the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these claims, there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. Accordingly, the Company is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of this consolidated lawsuit or determine the amount or range of potential losses associated with the consolidated lawsuit.
Derivative Litigation
On May 16, 2024, a derivative stockholder action was filed against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, captioned Corwin v. Forth, et al. The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty relating to the wire insulation shrinkback matter. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, restitution, the adoption of certain governance reforms, recovery of fees and costs, and other relief that the court may find appropriate. The Company is named as a nominal defendant only. On July 24, 2024, another derivative stockholder action was filed against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company in the same court, captioned Ouellet v. Whitaker et al. The complaint asserts, among others, claims for breach of fiduciary duty, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and insider trading, all of which relate to the wire insulation shrinkback matter. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, restitution, the adoption of certain governance reforms, recovery of fees and costs, and other relief that the court may find appropriate. The Company is named as a nominal defendant only. On August 21, 2024, these derivative stockholder actions were consolidated into a single action captioned In re Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. Derivative Litigation (the “Tennessee Derivative Action”).
On March 26, 2025, another derivative stockholder action was filed against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company in the same court as the consolidated action, captioned Norman v. Whitaker, et al. The complaint asserts, among others, claims for violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, insider trading, and unjust enrichment, all of which relate to the wire insulation shrinkback matter. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, restitution, the adoption of certain governance reforms, recovery of fees and costs, and other relief that the court may find appropriate. The Company is named as a nominal defendant only. On April 11, 2025, the Norman action was consolidated with the Tennessee Derivative Action. On January 19, 2026, the parties in the Tennessee Derivative Action filed a stipulation to stay the Tennessee Derivative Action until 60 days following the conclusion of the January 2026 mediation in the Securities Litigation.
On December 2, 2025, another derivative stockholder action was filed against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Gipsman v. Whitaker, et al. (the “Delaware Derivative Action”). The Delaware Derivative Action asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, insider trading, unjust enrichment, and corporate waste, all of which relate to the wire insulation shrinkback matter. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, restitution, the adoption of certain governance reforms, recovery of fees and costs, and other relief that the court may find appropriate. The Company is named as a nominal defendant only.
Although the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these claims, there is no guarantee that the Company will prevail. Accordingly, the Company is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the derivative litigation or determine the amount or range of potential losses associated with the lawsuit.
Surety Bonds
The Company provides surety bonds to various parties as required for certain transactions initiated during the ordinary course of business to guarantee the Company’s performance in accordance with contractual or legal obligations. As of December 31, 2025, the maximum potential payment obligation with regard to surety bonds was $40.3 million.

(1) Goodwill represents the excess of tax-deductible goodwill over book goodwill of $1,658 million as of December 31, 2025, and $1,795 million as of December 31, 2024, which is mainly related to the step-up in tax basis resulting from exchanges of LLC Interests for shares of Class A common stock.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining non-controlling interest in Shoals Parent LLC and contributed 100% of its interest to its wholly-owned subsidiary Shoals Intermediate Parent, thereby eliminating the Company’s Up-C structure. As a result of the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC ceased to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and became a single-member disregarded entity. Accordingly, the Company converted its outside basis differences in its investment in Shoals Parent LLC and remeasured its deferred taxes using the inside basis differences of Shoals Parent LLC’s assets and liabilities. The conversion from outside to inside basis differences resulted in a net deferred tax benefit of approximately $5.1 million, which has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has $235.9 million and $121.7 million federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. If not utilized, $235.9 million of the federal net operating loss can be carried forward indefinitely. If not utilized, $27.0 million of the state net operating loss can be carried forward indefinitely and $94.7 million will expire between 2033-2045.
In the prior year, the Company recorded a valuation allowance related to its state net operating loss carryforwards and goodwill amortization in the amount of $2.1 million, as it is more likely than not these deferred tax assets would not be realized. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s assessment of the valuation allowance resulted in an insignificant adjustment in the current year. The valuation allowance mainly derives from states with shortened net operating loss carryforward periods. Additionally, since goodwill amortization is the primary contributor to the net operating losses, it must be considered in the analysis, as the net operating loss carryforwards will expire before the benefit of the goodwill amortization is fully realized in
certain states. As of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a valuation allowance related to land and other non-amortizable intangibles in the amount of $1.0 million was required, as it is more likely than not these deferred tax assets would not be realized. As of December 31, 2025, an insignificant amount of the valuation allowance was released due to the disposal of land. The federal and state valuation allowance is $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for a total valuation allowance of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. OBBBA includes significant changes to U.S. federal income tax law, including modifications to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and 2022 Inflation Reduction Act provisions. The law made changes to certain business deductions and credits, and new limitations and incentives affecting capital investment and clean energy. As of December 31, 2025, OBBBA had minimal impact on the Company’s tax position. Given the complexities, including recently issued guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and regulations from the U.S. Treasury Department, we will continue to monitor these developments and evaluate the potential future impact to our results of operations.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recorded $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits inclusive of interest and penalties, all of which, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. We do not expect a significant change in our uncertain tax benefits in the next twelve months. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the provision (benefit) for income taxes line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
We are generally subject to tax examinations by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for years beginning after 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of revenue
Based on Topic 606 provisions, the Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers based on product type. Revenue by product type is disaggregated between system solutions and components. System solutions are contracts under which the Company provides multiple products typically in connection
with the design and specification of an entire EBOS system. Components represents sales of individual components.
The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by product type (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, retainage, and deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets, recorded on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
The Company’s contract balances consist of the following (in thousands):

Location on the Consolidated Balance Sheets20252024
Billed accounts receivableAccounts receivable, net$119,521 $70,882

Deferred revenueDeferred revenue$37,031 $18,737 
Accrued rebatesAccrued expenses and other$4,851 $3,058 
The majority of the Company’s contract amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which generally coincide with the shipment of one or more phases of the project. Billing sometimes occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in unbilled receivables. The changes in unbilled receivables relate to fluctuations in the timing of billings for the Company’s revenue recognized over-time.
Certain contracts contain retainage provisions. Retainage represents a contract asset for the portion of the contract price earned by the Company for work performed but held for payment by the customer as a form of security until the Company obtains specified milestones. The Company typically bills retainage amounts as work is performed. Retainage provisions are not considered a significant financing component because they are intended to protect the customer in the event that some or all of the obligations under the contract are not completed. The changes in retainage relate to fluctuations in the timing of retainage billings and achievement of specified milestones.
For certain contracts, we provide customers with incentives upon entering into multi-year agreements or volume specific commitments. Any up-front incentives to customers that are not made in exchange for distinct goods and services are capitalized as a contract asset within other assets, which are subsequently recognized as a reduction to revenue over the term of the customer arrangements.
The Company also receives deferred revenue in the form of customer deposits. The customer deposits are short term as the related performance obligations are typically fulfilled within 12 months. The changes in deferred revenue relate to fluctuations in the timing of customer deposits and completion of performance obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2025, $13.5 million, or 72% of deferred revenue recorded as of December 31, 2024, was recognized in revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2024, $20.6 million, or 93% of deferred revenue recorded as of December 31, 2023, was recognized in revenue.
Accrued rebates are recorded based on sales volumes from agreed upon rebate terms. Rebates are typically paid within three to four months.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
The Company is organized and operates as one operating and reportable segment, which carries out business activities related to the design, development, manufacture and marketing of products and services for EBOS solutions and components. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, reviews operating results including discrete financial information and profitability metrics at a consolidated entity level for purposes of making resource allocation decisions and for evaluating financial performance. This structure is reflected in our organizational and reporting model.
The accounting policies of the consolidated segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance of the Company and decides how to allocate resources based on income from operations and net income that is also reported on the consolidated income statement. The CODM is involved in determining and reviewing projected net income and income from operations as part of the annual operating plan process. Throughout the year, the CODM considers forecast to actual results and variances on a monthly and quarterly basis to allocate resources for the Company.
The following table presents selected financial information with respect to the Company’s single operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Our cybersecurity strategy focuses on striking a balance between data barriers and access, and promoting vigilance among our employees, contractors, and business partners. We monitor and implement procedures, policies, and activities designed to manage our data and to maintain a high level of privacy and security within our systems. In 2025, we continued the development of our enterprise risk program, which integrates cybersecurity.

Our cybersecurity processes include technical security controls, policy enforcement mechanisms, monitoring systems, tools and related services from third-party providers, and management oversight to assess, identify and manage risks from cybersecurity threats. We have implemented risk-based controls to protect our information, the information of our customers and other third parties, our information systems, our business operations, and our products and related services. We have an information security risk program that is designed based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, industry leading practices, privacy laws and regulations, and other applicable standards and regulations. Our program includes a defense-in-depth approach with multiple layers of security controls, including network segmentation, security monitoring, endpoint protection, and identity and access management, as well as data protection leading practices and data loss prevention controls.
Through our cybersecurity program, we continuously monitor cybersecurity vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors, and we evaluate the potential adverse operational and financial effects of a cybersecurity incident.

In addition, we maintain specific policies and practices governing our third-party security risks, including our third-party assessment process. Under this assessment process, we gather information from certain third parties who contract with us and share or receive personal identifying and confidential information, to help us assess potential risks associated with their security controls. We also generally require third parties to, among other things, maintain security controls to protect our confidential information and data, the confidential information of our customers, and to notify us of data incidents that may impact our data or data of our customers. We assess the risks from cybersecurity threats that impact select third-party service providers with whom we share personal identifying and confidential information. We continue to enhance our oversight processes for how we identify and manage cybersecurity risks associated with the services we procure from such third parties.

Our cybersecurity awareness program includes regular phishing simulations, and quarterly general cybersecurity awareness and data protection training modules for all employees with network access,as well as more contextual and personalized training modules for applicable users and roles. The Company conducts annual internal security audits and vulnerability assessments of the Company’s information systems and related controls, including systems that process or store personal data. In addition, we leverage third party cybersecurity specialists to conduct annual external audits and assessments of our cybersecurity program and practices, including our data protection practices, as well as to conduct targeted cyber-attack simulations. We have obtained cybersecurity liability insurance, however, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

In 2025, we did not experience, and are not reasonably likely to have experience, a material cybersecurity incident. However, future incidents could have a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For additional discussion of the risks posed by cybersecurity threats, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors—The unauthorized access to our information technology systems or the disclosure of personal or sensitive data or confidential information, whether through a breach of our computer system or otherwise, could severely disrupt our business or reduce our sales or profitability” and “Failure of our information technology systems, including those managed by third parties, whether intentional or inadvertent, could lead to delays in our business operations and, if significant or extreme, affect our results of operations.”

Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting and Presentation
Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Non-Controlling Interests
Non-Controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests on the consolidated statements of operations represented a portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interests in the Company’s former subsidiary, Shoals Parent LLC, formerly held by direct or indirect holders of LLC Interests and our Class B common stock, including the founder and certain current and former executive officers, employees and their respective permitted
transferees (the “Continuing Equity Owners”). Activity related to non-controlling interests on the Statements of Changes in Members’ / Stockholders’ Equity represents activity related to the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the Continuing Equity Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by such unit holders.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for obsolete or slow moving inventory, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, equity-based compensation expense and warranty liability.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand, cash held in demand deposit accounts, and all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable is comprised of amounts billed to customers, net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management and is based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. Periodically, management reviews the accounts receivable balances of its customers and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables when all attempts to collect have failed, although collection efforts may continue.
Unbilled Receivables
Unbilled Receivables
Unbilled receivables arise when the Company recognizes revenue for amounts which cannot yet be billed under terms of the contract with the customer.
Inventory
Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in first-out method. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment acquired in acquisitions are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition; all other property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Improvements, betterments and replacements which significantly extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
A gain or loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment is calculated as the difference between the cost of the asset disposed of, net of accumulated depreciation, and the sales proceeds received. A gain or loss on an asset disposal is recognized in the period that the sale occurs.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When events, circumstances or operating results indicate that the carrying values of long-lived assets might not be recoverable through future operations, the Company prepares projections of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the projections indicate that the recorded amounts are not expected to be recoverable, such amounts are reduced to estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based upon internal evaluation of each asset that includes quantitative analyses of net revenue and cash flows, review of recent sales of similar assets and market responses based upon discussions in connection with offers received from potential buyers.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill is assessed using either a qualitative assessment or quantitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. The qualitative assessment evaluates factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry-specific and company-specific considerations, legal and regulatory environments, and historical performance. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment is performed. Otherwise, no further assessment is required. The quantitative approach compares the estimated fair value of the reporting units to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Impairment is indicated if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, and an impairment charge is recognized for the differential.
The Company completes its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 each year.
Amortizable and Other Intangible Assets
Amortizable and Other Intangible Assets
The Company amortizes identifiable intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, developed technology, trade names, backlog and noncompete agreements because these assets have finite lives. The Company’s intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight‐line basis over the estimated useful lives. The basis of amortization approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews for impairment indicators of finite-lived intangibles, as described in the “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” significant accounting policy.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs consist primarily of registration fees, filing fees, listing fees, specific legal and accounting costs and transfer agent fees, which are direct and incremental fees related to the IPO and secondary offerings.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred to issue debt are capitalized and recorded net of the related debt and amortized using the effective interest method as a component of interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreement.
Treasury Stock
Treasury Stock
The Company records treasury stock activities under the cost method whereby the cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. The Company’s accounting policy upon the formal retirement of treasury stock is to deduct the par value from common stock and to reflect any excess of cost over par value as a
reduction to additional paid-in capital (to the extent created by previous issuances of the shares) and then retained earnings.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the sale of EBOS systems and components. The Company determines its revenue recognition through the following steps: (i) identification of the contract or contracts with a customer, (ii) identification of the performance obligations within the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract, and (v) recognition of revenue as the performance obligation has been satisfied.
The Company’s contracts with customers predominately are accounted for as one performance obligation, as the majority of the obligations under the contracts relate to a single project. For each contract entered into, the Company determines the transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received, net of any variable consideration or options. The transaction price identified is allocated to each distinct performance obligation to deliver a good or service based on the relative standalone selling prices. Management has concluded that the prices negotiated with each individual customer are representative of the standalone selling price of the product.
Some of the Company’s sales agreements have rebates and volume-based discounts with tiered pricing which are prospective in nature. We concluded that in these situations, the incentives can represent variable consideration or options, depending upon the specifics of the agreement. In the event the agreement contains an option, the option is considered a material right and, therefore, included in the accounting for the initial arrangement. We estimate the average anticipated discount over the lifetime of the contract, and apply that discount to each contract. On a quarterly basis, we review our estimates and, if needed, updates are made and changes are applied prospectively.
The Company primarily recognizes revenue over time as a result of the continuous transfer of control of its product to the customer using the output method based on units manufactured. This continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contracts that provide rights to payment of the transaction price associated with work performed to date on products that do not have an alternative use to the Company. Management believes that recognizing revenue using the output method based on units manufactured best depicts the extent of transfer of control to the customer.
In certain instances the promised goods do have an alternative use. In these instances, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product. Contracts of this nature typically include customer acceptance clauses, which results in revenue recognition occurring upon customer acceptance.
Depending on the size of project, the manufacturing process generally takes from less than one week to four months to complete production. The accounting for each contract involves a judgmental process of estimating total sales, costs, and profit for each performance obligation. Cost of revenue is recognized based on the unit of production. The amount reported as revenue is determined by adding a proportionate amount of the estimated profit to the amount reported as cost of revenue.
The Company has elected to adopt certain practical expedients and exemptions as allowed under the new revenue recognition guidance such as (i) recording sales commissions as incurred because the amortization period is less than one year, (ii) excluding any collected sales tax amounts from the calculation of revenue, and (iii) accounting for shipping and handling activities that are incurred after the customer has obtained control of the product as fulfillment costs rather than a separate service provided to the customer for which consideration would need to be allocated (see Shipping and Handling).
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and Handling
The Company accounts for shipping and handling related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill its promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, payment by the Company’s customers for shipping and handling costs for delivery of the Company’s products are recorded as a component of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Concentrations

The Company has cash deposited at certain financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the limits provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses on such amount and believes it is not subject to significant credit risk related to cash balances.
Fair Value
Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company follows a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value and is considered level 2, as it is based on current market rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar terms.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Prior to July 1, 2023, the Company’s sole material asset was Shoals Parent LLC, which was a limited liability company that was taxed as a partnership for US federal and certain state and local income tax purposes. Shoals Parent
LLC’s net taxable income and related tax credits, if any, were passed through to its members and included in the member’s tax returns.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the income tax expense financial statement caption in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not have any material interest and penalties during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company files U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities for various time periods, depending on each jurisdictions’ rules, beginning generally after the income tax returns are filed.
Product Warranty
Product Warranty
The Company offers an assurance type warranty for its products against manufacturer defects and does not contain a service element. For these assurance type warranties, a provision for estimated future costs related to warranty expense is recorded when they are probable and reasonably estimable. This provision is based on historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of claims for each product line. When little or no experience exists for an immature product line, the estimate is based on comparable product lines. Specific liabilities are established once an issue is identified with the amounts for such liabilities based on the estimated cost of correction. These estimates are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis using best-available information and revisions to estimates are made as necessary.
Equity-Based Compensation
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes equity-based compensation expense based on the equity award’s grant date fair value. The determination of the fair value of equity awards issued to employees of the Company is based upon the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the grant date. Equity-based compensation expense related to performance stock units is recognized if it is probable that the performance
condition will be satisfied. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The grant date fair value of each unit is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, including those units with graded vesting. However, the amount of equity-based compensation at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant date fair value of the award that is vested.
Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares, such as unvested restricted stock units, were exercised and converted into shares. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and were dilutive.
Segment Reporting
Segment Reporting
ASC 280 (“Segment Reporting”) establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating and reportable segment and derives revenues from selling its product.
Foreign Currency Remeasurement
Foreign Currency Remeasurement
The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the United States dollar. Remeasurement gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included the consolidated statements of operations.

New Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards
Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and applied the new disclosure requirements prospectively to the current annual period. Prior period disclosures have not been adjusted to reflect the new disclosure requirements. See Note 16 Income Taxes in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.
Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software to current development practices, clarifies when to begin capitalizing costs, and enhances disclosure requirements. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-06 is not expected to significantly change our current accounting for internal-use software.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, to establish guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The new guidance leverages the principles in the accounting framework for government assistance in International Accounting Standard 20 "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance". The new guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2025-10 is not expected to significantly change our current accounting for incentives from federal, state, and local governments.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
