| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Included below are selected significant accounting policies. Refer to Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, within the annual consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) for the full list of significant accounting policies. Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been reflected. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include those of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and an entity consolidated under the variable interest entity model. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been conformed to the current period’s presentation. Reverse Stock Split On July 8, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1-for-40. The reverse stock split did not change the par value or the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements present the retroactive effect of the reverse stock split on the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock and per share amounts for all periods presented. Corporate Simplification On December 17, 2025, as part of the Corporate Simplification transactions, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Solo Stove Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) and Solo Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”), a subsidiary of Solo Brands, Inc. and SP SS Blocker Purchaser, LLC (“Blocker”), formed for the sole purpose of merging with and into Holdings. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, effective January 1, 2026 (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Solo Brands, Inc., as described further in Note 11, Income Taxes and Note 12, Equity. The weighted-average ownership interest in Holdings was 0.0% and 64.1% as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Tariffs On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize a U.S. President to impose tariffs during peacetime national emergencies and that the challenge to the legality of the incremental tariffs was within the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”), thus affirming a prior decision of the CIT that the U.S. President lacked authority to impose incremental tariffs. As a result, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. President issued an executive order stating that the incremental tariffs were no longer in effect and ending the collection of the incremental tariffs. However, the U.S. President then issued an additional executive order imposing tariffs pursuant to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for 150 days, effective February 24, 2026. We continue to monitor the changing tariff and trade restrictions and are evaluating the potential impacts of these decisions for 2026 and any potential impacts on consumer demand and pricing expectations. We filed a lawsuit in the CIT challenging the legality of incremental tariffs and are seeking to recover the approximately $10 million in incremental tariffs that we paid in 2025 and 2026. On April 20, 2026, the U.S. government opened the online portal for claiming refunds on IEEPA tariffs and, as of May 1, 2026, the Company has completed filing refund claims. All but a minor number of claims have been accepted by the Customs Border Protection agency and certain refunds have advanced to the United States Department of Treasury for processing. The Company plans to follow gain contingency accounting under ASC 450-30, Gain Contingencies, for recognition. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not received any refund payments, and uncertainty remains regarding timing, amount, and ultimate receipt of any refunds. Accordingly, no gain has been recognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Going Concern The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to Security Agreement (the “2025 Credit Agreement”), which amended the credit agreement dated May 12, 2021 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The 2025 Credit Agreement restructured the Company’s outstanding revolving and term loans, extended certain maturities, reduced near-term cash interest requirements through the ability to make certain interest payments in-kind and deferred compliance with certain financial covenants for a defined period of time. Beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2026, the Company will be required to comply with additional financial covenants under the 2025 Credit Agreement, including leverage, fixed charge coverage and minimum liquidity requirements, as described further in Note 10, Debt, Net. In evaluating its ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements, management projects compliance with these financial covenants. Conditions and events, including the risk of operating performance variability could affect future covenant compliance, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial statements. Management developed plans intended to mitigate these conditions, including optimization of the Company's distribution and fulfillment network, reductions in marketing spend and other fixed operating costs. These plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least the twelve months following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, as disclosed within Tariffs above, all but a minor number of the Company's IEEPA claims for refunds have been accepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which, upon realization, are expected to provide additional financial flexibility which will further support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Such refunds will only be recognized in the financial statements when they are realized. If the Company does not achieve the expected benefits from these operational initiatives or if operating results or liquidity deteriorate, the Company could be required to seek additional capital through equity or debt financings or other sources. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available on acceptable terms, or at all. 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, liabilities, revenue, and expenses during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be made with certainty. Estimates may change as new events occur when additional information becomes available and if our operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company extends trade credit to its retail customers on terms that generally are practiced in the industry. The Company periodically performs credit analyses and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. Accounts receivable mostly consist of amounts due from our business-to-business customers. As of March 31, 2026, Costco represented 23.7% of total outstanding accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Spreetail represented 28.0% and 12.7%, respectively, of total outstanding accounts receivable. There are no other significant concentrations of receivables that represent a significant credit risk. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs related to term debt are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related debt. Debt issuance costs related to revolving loans are recorded within other non-current assets and amortized straight-line over the term of the related debt. Amortization of debt issuance costs are recorded as a component of interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Costs incurred in connection with an expected refinancing, restructuring or debt issuance are capitalized and recorded within other non-current assets. Restructuring, Contract Termination and Impairment Charges Restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges are primarily comprised of severance and employee-related benefits, contract termination fees and impairment charges. We recognize employee severance costs as a liability at estimated fair value, at the time of communication to affected employees, unless future service is required, in which case the costs are recognized ratably over the future service period. Contract termination fees include costs incurred to terminate a contract and the impacts to related assets or liabilities associated with these contracts. Asset impairment charges include impairments of long-lived assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, as addressed in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, in the 2025 Form 10-K. Restructuring, contract termination and asset impairment activities are recognized when they are incurred and included in restructuring, contract termination and impairment charges on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. While the Company intends to prosecute and defend any lawsuit vigorously, the Company presently believes that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending legal proceeding will not have any material adverse effect on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages, which could impact the Company’s business and the results of operations for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods. Based on the information available, the Company evaluates the likelihood of potential outcomes. The Company records the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, the Company does not accrue for estimated legal fees and other directly related costs as they are expensed as incurred. The unaudited consolidated balance sheets do not include a liability for any potential obligations as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), that requires the disclosure of certain amounts included in certain expense captions on the face of the income statement. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but will require certain additional disclosures. The Company does not expect to early adopt at this time. 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. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. ASU 2025-06 requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect to early adopt at this time.
