Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 28, 2026 and for the fiscal quarters ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Latham Group, Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of these condensed consolidated financial statements, have been included. The Company’s results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 or other interim periods thereof.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis and revised as there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.
Seasonality
Seasonality
Although the Company generally has demand for its products throughout the year, its business is seasonal and weather is one of the principal external factors affecting the business. In general, net sales and net income are highest (or net loss is the lowest) during the second and third quarters, representing the peak months of swimming pool use, pool installation, and remodeling and repair activities. Severe weather may also affect net sales in all periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected to “opt in” to the extended transition related to complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and nonpublic companies, the Company will adopt the new or revised standard at the time nonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, which will occur no later than December 31, 2026. The Company may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for private companies.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40 (“ASU 2024-03”)), which improves disclosures to provide more detailed information about a business entity’s expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 and its potential impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”), which offers a practical expedient for public companies valuing their current expected credit losses. ASU 2025-05 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendments should be applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated ASU 2025-05 and determined to not adopt the practical expedient.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) (“ASU 2025-11”), which improves the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. ASU 2025-11 is effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2025-11 and its potential impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
