We may not realize the anticipated benefits of our multi-step strategic optimization plan, Project Gravity, and the related reduction in force and operational centralization may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and culture.
On May 15, 2025, our Board approved a comprehensive enterprise initiative, “Project Gravity,” designed to streamline our organizational structure, rebalance our cost base, and improve profitability and cash flow. Actions include a reduction in force, centralization of our MEATER business into our Salt Lake City infrastructure, streamlining and channel optimization initiatives (including discontinuing the Costco roadshow program and exiting our Traeger direct-to-consumer business by redirecting Traeger.com consumers to retail partners), transitioning to a distributor model in certain European markets that currently operate under a direct model, and pellet mill consolidation. We recorded $24.9 million of total restructuring and other costs in fiscal year 2025 related to these initiatives, and we currently expect Project Gravity, in its entirety, to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2026.
Implementing these changes may disrupt our operations, divert management attention, and result in the loss of institutional knowledge and key personnel, which could harm product development, customer support, supply chain execution, and our ability to meet retailer requirements. Further, workforce reductions and site consolidations can negatively affect employee morale, productivity, and our culture, which we view as critical to innovation and brand engagement. Any such impacts could impair our ability to maintain product quality, deliver on time and in full, and preserve customer and retailer relationships.
We may incur additional or unanticipated restructuring charges, and the cost savings we expect may not be realized, may be delayed, or may be offset by reduced revenue, higher input costs, or other expenses. For example, transitioning to a distributor model in Europe, discontinuing certain channel programs, consolidating pellet production, and centralizing operations may create near-term operational complexity, require contractual renegotiations, or lead to one-time costs. If we do not execute these initiatives effectively, our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
In addition, reductions in force and business model transitions could expose us to legal and compliance risks, including with respect to labor and employment, health and safety, data protection, and ethical sourcing expectations across our supply chain, any of which could result in litigation, regulatory inquiries, or reputational harm.
We have incurred operating losses in the past and may continue to incur net losses in the future. For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we had a net loss of $34.0$115.2 million. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $688.9$804.1 million. We expect our operating expenses to increasefluctuate inas thea longpercentage termof revenue as we continue to manage our salesinvestments in innovation and marketingenhance efforts,our product offerings. While we intend to leverage these expenses over time to achieve profitability and expand ourrevenue operatingopportunities, and retail infrastructure, add content and software features to our platform, expand into new geographies, develop new products, and incur legal, accounting, and other expenses related to operating as a public company. Thesethese efforts and additional expenses may be more costly than we expect, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to increase our revenue to offset our operating expenses. Our revenue growth may slowcontinue or our revenue mayto decline for a number of other reasons, including reduced demand for our products, increased competition, a decrease in the growth or reduction in size of our overall market, a challenging macroeconomic environment, or if we cannot capitalize on growth opportunities. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, our total revenue decreased by 0.3%7.4% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. If our revenue does not grow at a greater rate than our operating expenses, we will not be able to achieve and maintain profitability.
Our historical growth rates may not be sustainable or indicative of future growth and we expect our growth rate to slow.growth.
We have experienced significant growth since our change of ownership in 2013. Our historicalhistorical, long-term rate of growth may not be sustainable or indicative of our future rate of growth.growth, including in the near term. We have also experienced increased demand for our products in the past, for example due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on consumer behavior as a result of various stay-at-home orders and restrictions on dining options and restaurant closures. Since 2022, we have experienced a relative downturn in consumer demand as compared to demand during the pandemic and a shift towards experiences, services, and leisure and away from big-ticket home-related products such as grills. We cannot predict if or when consumer behavior and demand will change. We believe that our revenue, as well as our ability to improve or maintain margins and profitability, will depend upon, among other factors, our ability to address the challenges, risks, and difficulties described elsewhere in this report and the extent to which our various products grow and contribute to our results of operations. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to successfully manage any such challenges or risks to our future growth. In addition, our number of customers and markets may not continue to grow or may decline due to a variety of possible risks, including increased competition and the maturation of our business. Any of these factors could cause our revenue growth to decline and may adversely affect our margins and profitability. Failure to continue our revenue growth or improve margins would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. You should not rely on our historical rate of revenue growth as an indication of our future performance.
We may be unable to effectively manage our futurebusiness growththrough effectively,periods of strategic realignment, which could make it more difficult to execute our business strategy.
We may be unable to effectively manage our business through periods of strategic realignment, which could make it difficult to execute our business strategy.
We have only a limited history operating at our current scale and, in response to evolving market conditions, have undertaken restructuring actions, including workforce reductions and, in 2025, Project Gravity, which includes a reduction in force and centralization and streamlining of operations. Managing our business through these changes places significant demands on management and our operational, financial, and IT infrastructure. Providing a high-quality customer experience is vital to our success in generating word-of-mouth referrals to drive sales, maintain and expand our brand recognition, and retain existing customers. If we do not effectively integrate organizational changes, retain critical talent, and maintain high-quality customer support and product quality, our reputation, brand, and results of operations could be harmed.
Our cost-savings initiatives and channel realignments may not produce the expected benefits and could introduce operational complexities. For example, centralizing MEATER operations, exiting our direct-to-consumer business (other than for MEATER), discontinuing certain channel programs, transitioning to distributors in certain European markets, and pellet mill consolidation may cause disruptions, require additional oversight of third parties, or lead to inventory and forecasting challenges, which could adversely affect revenue, gross margins, and retailer relationships.
We have only a limited history of operating our business at its current scale. We have made and expect to continue to make significant investments in our research and development efforts and in our sales and marketing organizations, including with respect to future product offerings, consumables, accessories, and services, and to expand our operations and infrastructure both domestically and internationally. This growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial performance and infrastructure. In 2022, we announced a planned reduction in workforce, as part of a plan to reduce our costs and drive long-term operational efficiencies. At the same time, we suspended operations of Traeger Provisions and postponed nearshoring efforts to manufacture product in Mexico. Over the long-term, we may not successfully execute or achieve what were the expected benefits of this reduction in force or incur greater costs than expected. Further, any cost savings that we realize may be offset, in whole or in part, by a reduction in revenues or through increases in other expenses.
Additionally, our customers increasingly rely on our support services to resolve any issues related to the use of our products and smart features. Providing a high-quality customer experience is vital to our success in generating word-of-mouth referrals to drive sales, maintain and expand our brand recognition, and retain existing customers. The importance of high-quality support will increase as we expand our business and introduce new and/or enhanced products and offerings, especially if we face limited brand recognition in certain markets that leads to non-acceptance or delayed acceptance of our products and services by consumers. Our ability to manage our growth effectively and to integrate new employees, technologies, and acquisitions into our existing business will require us to continue to expand our operational and financial infrastructure and to continue to retain, attract, train, motivate, and manage employees. Continued growth could strain our ability to develop and improve our operational, financial, and management controls, enhance our reporting systems and procedures, recruit, train, and retain highly skilled personnel, and maintain customer satisfaction. Additionally, if we do not effectively manage the growth of our business and operations, the quality of our products and content could suffer, which could negatively affect our reputation and brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations, and our corporate culture may be harmed.
There have been significant changes and proposed changes in recent years to U.S. trade policies, tariffs, and treaties affecting imports. For example, the U.S. has announced and implemented additional tariffs on certain imports from China under multiple authorities. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the President cannot use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs, invalidating certain tariffs that had been imposed under IEEPA. In response to this ruling, within hours of the decision, the President signed a proclamation imposing a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective MarchFebruary 4,24, 2025,2026, and subsequently increased these tariffs to 15% on February 21, 2026. Section 122 tariffs are subject to a 150-day statutory limit unless extended by Congress. In addition, the Office of the U.S. implementedTrade aRepresentative 25%has announced it will initiate new Section 301 investigations into trading partners' unfair practices, which could result in additional tarifftariffs. Section 301 tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 20% additional tariff on imports from China. On March 6, 2025, the Trump Administration announced that MexicanChinese goods coveredalso byremain thein U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement would not be subject to the additional 25% tariff until April 2, 2025.effect. The U.S. also reinstatedcontinues theto 25%maintain tariffs on steel import tariff and reinstated and increased the aluminum import tariff to 25%,aluminum, as well as increased tariffs and import restrictions on products imported from various other countries. The steel and aluminum import tariffs will go into effect on March 12, 2025. These new tariffs on aluminum and steel include derivative tariffs that have impacted and will continue to impact a broad range of downstream productsproducts, and,which ifhave theyand remainmay incontinue place in their current form, such tariffs could thereforeto adversely impact our business.
The Supreme Court's ruling did not address whether importers who paid IEEPA tariffs are entitled to refunds, and that issue remains subject to further litigation before the U.S. Court of International Trade. We cannot predict whether or when any refunds will be available, and the administration has indicated it intends to contest refund claims.
In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., China and other countries have imposed or proposed additional tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is currentsubstantial uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations, and tariffstariffs. This uncertainty has been heightened by the February 2026 Supreme Court ruling invalidating IEEPA tariffs, which has resulted in changes to the tariff structure and wealternative tariff mechanisms being implemented. The administration has stated that combining Section 122, Section 232, and Section 301 tariffs will result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026, signaling its intent to maintain similar tariff levels through alternative legal authorities. We cannot predict whether, and to what extent, U.S. trade policies will change in the future, including as a result of changes by the new U.S. presidential administration.future. A significant proportion of our products, including our grills, are manufactured in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, and other regions outside of the United States. Approximately 80% of our grills are manufactured in China. Accordingly, such U.S. policy changes have made it and may continue to make it difficult or more expensive for us to obtain certain downstream products manufactured outside the United States, which could affect our revenue and profitability. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and affect our strategy in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, and elsewhere around the world.
In response to recent tariff actions and related macro uncertainty, we have initiated Project Gravity to streamline operations and reduce costs, including negotiating savings with manufacturers and adjusting our channel and geographic models; if these measures are insufficient or delayed, tariffs and related supply chain pressures could still materially adversely affect our results.
In order to maintain and increase revenue, we must produce high-quality products at acceptable costs. If we are unable to maintain the quality and performance of our products at acceptable costs, our brand, the market acceptance of our products, and our results of operations would suffer. As we periodically update our product lines and introduce changes to manufacturing processes or incorporate new materials and technologies, we may encounter unanticipated issues with product quality and product consistency or production and supply delays. For example, in 2017, we introduced products that incorporate smart features, including our WiFIRE technology, a cloud-based Wi-Fi controller, that connects our grills to our Traeger app, enabling users to automate recipe steps and control and monitor their grill remotely. In 2019, we also introduced D2 Direct Drive, an integrated, software-driven system that maintains grill temperature through variable speed fans and DC auger control. In 2022, we introduced Smart Combustion technology which helps our grills maintain consistent cooking temperatures and a 2-in-1 EZ Clean grease and ash collection system. While we engage in product testing in an effort to identify and address any product quality issues before we introduce products to market, unanticipated product quality or performance issues may be identified after a product has been introduced and sold. From time to time, we execute “over-the-air” updates to address such issues and to update products and introduce product enhancements. As we continue to introduce new products and product enhancements, we expect the costs associated with such products and enhancements will continue to increase.
We face the risk of exposure to product liability or other claims, including class action lawsuits, in the event our products are, or are alleged to be, defective or have resulted in harm to persons, including death, or to property as a result of product malfunction, fires, explosions, or other causes. For example, we are aware of several situations in which our grills were investigated as the cause of a fire. Our grills may cause fires if not properly used or maintained, including fires caused by buildup of fats or grease, or if there are quality, manufacturing, or design defects. Although we label our grills to warn of such risks, our sales could be reduced if our grills are considered dangerous to use or if they are implicated in causing personal injury, death, or property damage. Additionally, we may experience food safety or food-borne illness incidents with our rubs or sauces. We have in the past and may in the future incur significant liabilities if product liability lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions against us are successful. Any losses not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, in August 2024, we received an offer of compromise to reach an out-of-court settlement for a product liability mattermatter. A formal settlement agreement was finalized in February 2025 and asthe ofmatter Decemberwas 31,paid 2024,in weMarch accrued2025 $15.0 million that will be covered bythrough our insurance policies.policies in the amount of $15.0 million. For more information, see Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
We generally provide a minimum three-year limited warranty on our grills. The occurrence of any material defects in our grills could result in an increase in returns or make us liable for damages and warranty claims in excess of our current reserves, which could result in an adverse effect on our business prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and cash flows if returns or warranty claims were to materially exceed anticipated levels. In addition, we could incur significant costs to correct any defects, warranty claims, or other problems, including costs related to product recalls, and such costs may not be covered by insurance and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any negative publicity related to the perceived quality and safety of our products could affect our brand image, decrease consumer confidence and demand, and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Also, while our warranty is limited to part replacement and returns, warranty claims may result in litigation, the occurrence of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, on December 14, 2023, we announced a voluntary recall of our Flatrock flat top grill. Consequently, the impact on operating results was $0.3 million and $2.6 million for yearsthe year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.2024. These costs were primarily due to product returns, recall charges, inventory-write offs, and expenses related to logistics, rework and legal fees. The occurrence of real or perceived defects in any of our products, now or in the future, could result in additional negative publicity, regulatory investigations, recalls, or lawsuits filed against us.
We have in the past recognized impairment charges for goodwill and we may need to recognize further impairments in the future, which could materially adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2021, the net carrying value of goodwill totaled $297.0 million prior to concluding that a triggering event had occurred during fiscal year 2022, which required interim goodwill impairment assessments. We periodically assess the value of these assets for impairment in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our businesses, significant unexpected or planned changes in use of the assets, divestitures, and market capitalization declines may result in impairments to goodwill and other long-lived assets.
For the period ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a $222.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which reflects that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. This impairment was generally driven by macroeconomic conditions such as inflationary pressures and supply chain disruption, a sustained decrease in our stock price, and the current outlook for sales and projected profitability in the impacted reporting unit. This impairment charge negatively impacted our results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2022 and future impairment charges could have a further adverse effect on our results of operations. For the annual impairment tests conducted in the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023, we performed qualitative assessments of goodwill and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill was greater than its carrying value. Therefore, the quantitative impairment test was not performed and no impairment of goodwill was recorded in connection with the annual impairment tests.
Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices or in less preferred distribution channels, which could impair our brand image and harm our margins. In addition, if we underestimate the demand for our products, our manufacturers may not be able to produce products to meet our requirements, and this could result in delays in the shipment of our products, lost sales, and damage to our reputation and retailer and distributor relationships. For example, late in the first quarter of 2020, we reduced inventory purchase orders as a precautionary measure against the unknown impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our business and to improve financial flexibility. These actions, coupled with the overall strong demand during 2020, ultimately contributed to lower than expected inventory levels throughout the second half of 2020 and, in turn, resulted in inventory constraints in the second half of 2020 continuing into early 2021.
Such difficulty in forecasting demand, which we have encountered and may continue to encounter, also makes it difficult to estimate our future results of operations and financial condition from period to period. A failure to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could adversely impact our profitability or cause us not to achieve our expected financial results. In connection with Project Gravity and our channel optimization initiatives, we may experience changes in demand signals, lead times, and order behavior from distributors and retailers, which, combined with pellet mill consolidation and operational centralization, could increase the risk of excess or obsolete inventory, stockouts, or higher costs to rebalance inventory across our network.
Additionally, recent changes to our channel strategy, including exiting our direct-to-consumer business (other than for MEATER) and discontinuing certain channel programs, may alter historical order patterns and promotional calendars, which could amplify seasonal fluctuations or shift sell-in and sell-through timing at key retailers.
If our plan to increase sales through our direct to customer channel is not successful, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
Part of our growth strategy involves increasing our DTC sales through our website and Traeger app. However, we have limited operating and compliance experience executing the retail component of this strategy, and our competitors may have a greater online presence and a more developed e-commerce platform than us. The level of customer traffic and volume of customer purchases through our websites or other e-commerce initiatives are substantially dependent on our ability to provide a content-rich and user-friendly website, a hassle-free customer experience, sufficient product availability, and reliable, timely delivery of our products. If we are unable to maintain and increase customers’ safe and effective use of our website or Traeger app, allocate sufficient product to our website or Traeger app, adequately protect our customers from fraudulent activity online, including third parties impersonating our products, and increase any sales through our DTC channel, our business and results of operations could be harmed. Moreover, any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including those associated with our website or the Traeger app, may result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, litigation, claims, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others.
As we expand our e-commerce platform across the geographies in which we sell our products, we may encounter different and evolving laws governing the operation and marketing of e-commerce websites, as well as the collection, storage, and use of information on customers interacting with those websites. We may incur additional costs and operational challenges in complying with these laws and regulations, and differences in these laws and regulations may cause us to operate our business differently, and less effectively, in different territories. If so, we may incur additional costs and may not fully realize the investment in our geographic expansion.
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, and possibly other anti-bribery laws in countries in which we conduct activities. These laws generally prohibit companies and their employees and agents from corruptly promising, authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments of anything of value to government officials, political parties, and private-sector recipients for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, directing business to any person, or securing any improper advantage. Certain laws, including the U.K. Bribery Act, also prohibit soliciting or receiving bribes or improper payments. In addition, U.S. public companies are required to maintain records that accurately and fairly represent their transactions and have an adequate system of internal accounting controls. We operate a global business and may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or government controlled entities. In addition, in many foreign countries, including countries in which we may conduct business, it may be a local custom that businesses engage in practices that are prohibited by the FCPA or other applicable laws and regulations. We have implemented a compliance program designed to promote compliance with these laws. However, we cannot ensure that our compliance program will be effective or that our employees, contractors, and agents, and companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, have not taken, or will not take, actions in violation of our compliance program and applicable law, for which we may take actions in violation of our policies or applicable law. We face significant risks if we or any of our directors, officers, employees, agents, or other partners or representatives fail to comply with anti-corruption laws, and governmental authorities in the United States and elsewhere could seek to impose substantial civil and/or criminal fines and penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, responding to any internal investigation or government enforcement action may result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees.
We have implemented a compliance program designed to promote compliance with these laws. However, our employees, contractors, and agents, and companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, may take actions in violation of our policies or applicable law. Any such violation could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, and prospects.
We may be required to recognize impairment charges on our long-lived assets, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
We have significant long-lived assets recorded on our consolidated balance sheets, including property, plant and equipment related to our manufacturing operations, tooling, warehouse and distribution facilities, operating lease right-of-use assets, and definite-lived intangible assets such as customer relationships and developed technology associated with our grills, consumables and accessories business. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset, a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset, or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
If we determine that the carrying value of our long-lived assets is not recoverable, we are required to record an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of those assets. We may incur impairment charges in the future as a result of changes in our business strategy, including any strategic initiatives to optimize our operations or product portfolio, shifts in consumer demand for outdoor cooking products, increased competition in the grilling and outdoor cooking industry, changes in market conditions, facility closures or consolidations, supply chain restructuring, divestitures, technological obsolescence, or other factors. Any such impairment charges could be significant and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to risks related to sustainability and ESGcorporate responsibility issues.
Our business faces increasing scrutiny related to ESGvarious sustainability and corporate responsibility issues, including renewable resources, environmental stewardship (including deforestation), supply chain management, climate change, safety, human capital and talent management, workplace conduct, human rights, philanthropy, and support for local communities. If we fail to meet applicable standards or expectations with respect to these issues across all of our services and in all of our operations and activities, including the expectations we set for ourselves, our reputation and brand image could be damaged, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
Moreover, while we may at times engage in voluntary initiatives (such as voluntary disclosures, certifications, or goals, among others) to improve the ESG profile of our company and/or products, such initiatives may be costly and may not have the desired effect. Expectations around company’s management of ESGcorporate responsibility matters continue to evolve rapidly, in many instances due to factors that are out of our control. As with other companies, our approach to such matters has evolved over time, and we expect it will continue to evolve, but we cannot guarantee that our approach will ultimately align with any particular stakeholder’s preferences or expectations. For example, we may not ultimately complete certain goals or initiatives, either on the timelines originally anticipated or at all, due to technical, cost, or other factors, regardless of whether it is in our control to do so. Moreover, actions or statements that we may take based on expectations, assumptions, or third-party information that we currently believe to be reasonable may subsequently be determined to be erroneous, subject to misinterpretation, or not in keeping with best or market practice. If we fail to, or are perceived to fail to, comply with or advance certain ESG initiatives (including the timeline and manner in which we complete such initiatives), we may be subject to various adverse impacts, including reputational damage and potential stakeholder engagement and/or litigation, even if such initiatives are currently voluntary. For example, there have been increasing allegations of greenwashing against companies making significant ESG claims due to a variety of perceived deficiencies in actions, statements, or methodologies, including as stakeholder perceptions of sustainability continue to evolve.
We may also be required to increase our disclosure of ESG-relatedsustainability-related information over coming years, whether due to increased stakeholder demand or regulatory requirements. For example, several jurisdictions—such as the EU, and the State of California—have adopted or are considering adopting requirements for certain companies to undertake additional disclosure or actions regarding climate or other ESGsustainability matters.matters, Inincluding addition, developing ESG-focused regulation in relation toregarding supply chains, particularly in the EU, may require us to conduct additionalchain diligence procedures and collectsustainable further information in relation to the ESG performance of the entities in our supply chain. In particular, the EU enacted its Deforestation Regulation in June 2023, which, from December 30, 2025, will prevent certain wood products being placed on the EU market or exported from the EU without confirmatory statements that certain ESG-related due diligence procedures had been carried out with respect to the product and that such due diligence had confirmed that the product had not been connected with deforestation, along with other relevant information. The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, adopted in 2024, will also subject in-scope companies to certain ESG due diligence requirements, with companies entering into scope from 2027 on a phased basis.sourcing. Regulation such as this may lead to increased operational, procurement, or other costs, which may in turn lead to a reduction in our business prospects and may also lead to risks to our reputation to the extent that we are determined to be using suppliers that do not meet standards of ESGsustainable or responsible conduct expected by our customers, investors, and other stakeholders. In addition, regulation in this area has evolved considerably over recent years and is likely to continue to do so, which may lead to additional costs and challenges associated with ensuring compliance with changing standards.
Separately, various stakeholders consider sustainability matters in their decision-making. For example, some of our customers have expressed a preference that certain of our products be made from raw materials sourced from forests certified to different standards, including standards of the FSC. If customer demand for sustainably produced products (including FSC-certified sources) increases then we may face increased costs in procuring associated inputs. If we are otherwise unable to meet such demand, it may impact the demand for our products and the prices we are able to charge for them.
Separately, various stakeholders consider ESG matters in their decision-making. For example, various groups produce ESG scores or ratings based at least in part on a company’s ESG disclosures. Certain market participants, including major institutional investors and capital providers, use such ratings to assess companies’ ESG profiles in making investment or voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings or other negative perceptions of our ESG profile could result in negative investor or other stakeholder sentiment, which may have a negative impact on our business, whether from a reputational perspective, through a reduction in interest in purchasing our stock or products, issues in attracting/retaining employees, customers and business partners, or otherwise. In particular, there is increasing attention by investors and other stakeholders on how forestry products may impact biodiversity and natural capital, which may require us to incur costs related to various strategic, policy, and/or disclosure efforts on this topic. For example, some of our customers have expressed a preference that certain of our products be made from raw materials sourced from forests certified to different standards, including standards of the FSC. If customer demand for sustainably produced products (including FSC-certified sources) increases and we are unable to meet such demand, there may be reduced demand, and we may only be able to charge lower prices for our products relative to our competitors who can supply products sourced from forests certified to such standards. In addition, we may be unable to obtain the raw materials (particularly wood fiber from third parties for use at our wood pellet facilities) required to sustain our growth and satisfy our existing and future customer contracts without incurring increased costs, including in connection with assisting some of our third-party suppliers in their efforts to obtain FSC-certification, which would otherwise be cost-prohibitive.
However, regulator and other stakeholder perceptions of ESGsustainability matters are not uniform, and there are efforts by some regulators and other stakeholders to reduce companies’ efforts on certain ESG-relatedsustainability-related matters. Both advocates and opponents to certain ESGsustainability matters are increasingly resorting to a range of activism forms, including media campaigns and litigation, to advance their perspectives. ToAny the extent we are subjectfailure to address such activism,stakeholder itexpectations may requireresult usin toincreased incurcosts, costsreputational damage (including through various ratings), litigation or otherwiseother adverselystakeholder impactengagement, or other adverse impacts to our business.

Additionally, many of our suppliers or other stakeholders may be subject to similar expectations, which may augment or create additional risks, including risks that may not be known to us.
Certain environmental laws, including the CERCLA, and analogous state laws, impose strict as well as joint and several liability upon statutorily defined parties without regard to comparative fault. Under these laws, we may be required to remediate contaminated properties currently or formerly operated by us, or facilities of third parties that received waste generated by our wood pellet production operations. Such remediation obligations may be imposed regardless of whether such contamination resulted in whole or in part from the conduct of others and whether such contamination resulted from actions (by us or third parties) that complied with all applicable laws in effect at the time of those actions. Our facilities are located on sites that have been used for manufacturing activities for an extended period of time, which increases the possibility of contamination being present. In addition, claims for damages to persons or property, including natural resources, may result from the environmental, health, and safety impacts of our operations, including accidental spills or releases in the course of our operations or those of a third party. Although we are not presently aware of any material contamination on our properties or any material remediation liabilities, we cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to significant remediation obligations or liabilities in the future. Moreover, certain substances that have not historically been considered hazardous substances may subsequently be designated as such. For example, there is increased scrutiny on various per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) at the federal and state level, and the EPA has designated certain PFAS—PFOA and PFOS—as hazardous substances under CERCLA.
Many nations have agreed to limit emissions of greenhouse gases pursuant to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, also known (“UNFCCC”) and subsequent agreements. For example, in December 2015, the United States and 194 other countries adopted the Paris Agreement, committing to work towards addressing climate change and agreeing to a monitoring and review process for greenhouse gas emissions. However,While the United States withdrewhas subsequently initiated the process of withdrawing from various international agreements, including the UNFCCC and, effective January 2026, the Paris Agreement inthe Novemberadoption 2020,of legislation or regulatory programs at the federal level, or other government action to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, could require us to incur increased operating costs, such as costs to purchase and followingoperate theemissions Unitedcontrol States officially rejoining the Paris Agreement in February 2021, the U.S. presidential administration signed executive orders in January 2025 again initiating the process for the United Statessystems, to withdrawacquire fromemissions theallowances, Parisor Agreement.to comply with new regulatory or reporting requirements.
The adoption of legislation or regulatory programs at the federal level, or other government action to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, could require us to incur increased operating costs, such as costs to purchase and operate emissions control systems, to acquire emissions allowances, or to comply with new regulatory or reporting requirements.
Moreover, many U.S. states, either individually or through multi-state regional initiatives, have begun to address greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the planned development of greenhouse gas emission inventories and/or regional greenhouse gas cap-and-trade programs. Certain states where our wood pellet facilities are located, including New York, have implemented climate change regulations and committed to reducing greenhouse gases. For example, in December 2025, New York hasadopted implementedregulations therequiring Climatecertain Leadership and Community Protection Act, which aimsfacilities to reducemake greenhousedisclosures gasregarding emissionsGHG 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 85% below 1990 levels by 2050.emissions. Such regulations may increase the cost of operating such facilities or otherwise restrict the operations of such facilities, which could have an adverse impact on our business and operations.
Commercial forestry is regulated by complex regulatory frameworks at each of the federal, state, and local levels. Among other federal laws, the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act have been applied to commercial forestry operations through agency regulations and court decisions, as well as through the delegation to states to implement and monitor compliance with such laws. State forestry laws, as well as land use regulations and zoning ordinances at the local level, are also used to manage forests in the United States, as well as other regions from which we may need to source raw materials in the future. Any new or modified laws or regulations at any of these levels could have the effect of reducing forestry operations in areas where we procure our raw materials, and consequently may prevent us from purchasing raw materials in an economic manner, or at all. In addition, future regulation of, or litigation concerning, the use of timberlands, the protection of threatened or endangered species or their habitats, the promotion of forest biodiversity, and the response to and prevention of wildfires, as well as litigation, campaigns, or other measures advanced by environmental activist groups, could also reduce the availability of the raw materials required for our operations and the production of our wood pellets. For example, the United States has adopted a goal to conserve at least 30% of the country’s land and water by 2030, which may include certain forested areas. Similar or more stringent regulations of forestry and wood products has also been enacted in other jurisdictions relevant to our operations.
In particular, the EU has enacted its Deforestation Regulation in June 2023, from 30 December 2025,Regulation, which will prevent wood products being placed on the EU market absent certain diligence exercises and findings.findings Seeonce Partthe I,regulation Itembecomes 1A. “Risk Factors—We are subjectapplicable to risksin-scope relatedcompanies, which is currently due to sustainabilityoccur andstarting ESGfrom issues.”30 December 2026. Such requirements may adversely impact our business by requiring us to amend our processes to source wood pellets that we sell on the EU market, increasing the cost of wood pellets to us and our customers, reducing demand, and adversely impacting our revenue and results of operations.
Regulatory authorities in the United States, European Union, and elsewhere are increasingly regulatingregulate hazardous materials and other substances, and those regulations could affect sales of our products.
There is also increasing focus on the full life of certain products, including batteries. For example, the EU has adopted a Batteries Regulation, which establishes certain requirements for batteries (including batteries placed in products) sold within the EU market, including regulations regarding labeling, removability, use of recycled minerals, and supply chain diligence. Such requirements, as well as any similar requirements for other products, may adversely impact our business by requiring a redesign of our products or increasing the cost of batteries to us and our consumers, reducing demand and adversely impacting our revenue and results of operations.
In August 2023, a revised Batteries Regulation entered into force in the EU, which is applicable to our MEATER smart thermometer business. The regulation will eventually, once fully phased in, require portable batteries to be designed in a way such that consumers can easily remove and replace them, and to carry labels and QR codes with information related to the capacity, performance, durability, and chemical composition of the battery. In addition, the regulation would require many entities selling batteries in the EU to develop and implement due diligence policies to address social and environmental risks linked to the sourcing of batteries, as well as a number of other requirements such as in relation to minimum levels of recycled minerals. Such requirements may adversely impact our MEATER thermometer business by requiring a redesign of our products or increasing the cost of batteries to us and our consumers, reducing demand and adversely impacting our revenue and results of operations.
Governments in the United States and internationally have increased their focus on and regulation of a broad group of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, collectively known as “PFAS,” which are utilized by the Company in some of its products. PFAS include several categories and classes of durable chemicals and materials with properties that include water and fire resistance, as well as electrical insulating properties. Developments in these and other global chemical regulatory trends (including relating to PFAS) may require additional actions by the Company, including investigation, remediation, and compliance obligations, or may result in additional litigation and enforcement actions and related costs. Such developments could also result in the Company needing to relocate all or part of its manufacturing operations or halt sales and purchases of products containing PFAS. For example, in the United States, many states have enacted standards for PFAS contamination in drinking water sources and PFAS used in certain categories of consumer products.products, including cookware and textiles. In addition, in April 2024, the EPA finalized a rule to regulate certain PFAS—PFOA and PFOS—as contaminants under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. In Europe, in FebruaryJanuary 2023, the European Chemicals Agency released a proposal for broad restrictions on PFAS pursuant to EU Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.Chemicals; the European Chemicals Agency released an updated proposal in August 2025. If the revised proposal is implemented without change, the proposed restriction couldwould largelysignificantly eliminatecurtail the production, use, and sale of PFAS in Europe in mostmany applications and manufactured articles. Finally, EPA and several states have implemented various reporting requirements for products which contain PFAS. In addition to creating a regulatory obligation, the information that is reported in response to those requirements may be used by third parties in future enforcement and litigation proceedings. The Company continues to review, control, and plan for the potential elimination of PFAS in its products. The Company’s PFAS plan involve risks, including the actual timing, costs, and financial impact of such plan; the Company’s ability to complete such plan on the anticipated timing or at all; potential governmental or regulatory actions relating to the Company’s continued PFAS use; the Company’s ability to identify and manufacture acceptable substitutes for PFAS, and the possibility that such substitutes will not achieve the anticipated or desired commercial or operational results; potential litigation relating to the Company’s PFAS plans or handling or use of PFAS; and the possibility that the Company’s PFAS plan will involve greater costs than anticipated, or otherwise have negative impacts on the Company’s relationships with its customers and other counterparties.
In addition, recent years have seen additional focus from stakeholders, including regulators and governments in certain jurisdictions, on ESGenvironmental considerationand social considerations in the supply chains of companies. Emerging legislation, including the EU'sEU’s Deforestation Regulation and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, may introduce additional requirements for us or our customers and require us to collect additional information from our suppliers and other third parties. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—We are subject to risks related to sustainability and ESGcorporate responsibility issues.” The United States has also adopted legislation restricting the use of certain suppliers, as well as products mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part from certain regions, due to ESGsuch considerations. Such legislation may lead to increased costs for our company in sourcing materials for our products, and to the extent parties in our supply chain are seen to not meet certain standards of ESGsustainability performance, whether by customers, regulators, or otherwise, this may lead to a requirement to change suppliers, reputational impacts to our company, or (in certain cases) import eligibility for certain of our products.
If we experience significantly increased demand, or if we need to replace an existing manufacturer due to lack of performance or ESGsustainability considerations, we may be unable to supplement or replace manufacturing capacity on a timely basis or on terms that are acceptable to us, which may increase our costs, reduce our margins, and harm our ability to deliver our products on time. For certain of our products, it may take a significant amount of time to identify and qualify a manufacturer that has the capability and resources to produce our products to our specifications in sufficient volume and satisfy our service and quality control standards. Accordingly, a loss of any of our significant manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The price and availability of raw materials and key components used to manufacture our products, including electronic components, such as integrated circuits, processors and system on chips, components built into our unique specifications or that are single sourced, as well as manufacturing equipment, tooling, and wood fibers, may fluctuate significantly. In addition, the cost of labor at our third-party manufacturers could increase significantly. For example, manufacturers in China have experienced increased costs in recent years due to shortages of labor and fluctuations of the Chinese yuan in relation to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, the cost of logistics and transportation fluctuates in large part due to the price of oil, global demand, and other geopolitical factors. Any fluctuations in the cost and availability of any of our raw materials or other sourcing or transportation costs related to our raw materials or products could harm our gross margins (as was the case in 2021 due to increased freight rates and logistics costs) and our ability to meet customer demand. For example, disruptions to or increases in the cost of local, regional, domestic, or international transportation services for our products and other forms of infrastructure, such as electricity, due to shortages of vessels, barges, railcars, or trucks, weather-related problems, flooding, droughts, accidents, mechanical difficulties, bankruptcy, strikes, lockouts, bottlenecks, or other events could increase our costs, temporarily impair our ability to deliver products to our customers on time or at all and might, in certain circumstances, constitute a force majeure event under our customer contracts, permitting our customers to suspend taking delivery of and paying for our products or resulting in a charge to us for our customers’ lost profits as a result of our failure to timely deliver our products. Relatedly, some of our contracts with our large retail customers subject us to financial penalties if we fail to ship an order that is on time or in full. If we are unable to successfully mitigate a significant portion of these product cost increases, fluctuations, or delays, our results of operations could be harmed.
We primarily rely on cash flow generated from our sales to fund our current operations and our growth initiatives. As we expand our business, we will need significant cash from operations to purchase inventory, increase our product development, expand our manufacturer and supplier relationships, pay personnel, pay for the increased costs associated with operating as a public company, expand internationally, and further invest in our sales and marketing efforts. If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund these activities and sufficient funds are not otherwise available from our current or future credit facility, we may need additional equity or debt financing. If such financing is not available to us on satisfactory terms, our ability to operate and expand our business or to respond to competitive pressures could be harmed. Moreover, if we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders may be diluted. The holders of new securities may also have rights, preferences, or privileges which are senior to those of existing holders of common stock. In addition, any indebtedness we incur may subject us to covenants that restrict our operations and will require interest and principal payments that could create additional cash demands and financial risk for us.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we have net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $123.8$162.3 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which will be available to offset future taxable income. Approximately $111.3$159.0 million of these NOLs are eligible for indefinite carryforward, limited by certain taxable income. Due to cumulative losses, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022,2023, respectively. Utilization of our NOLs and certain other tax attributes depends on many factors, including our future income, which cannot be assured. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”), generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of taxable income that may be offset by NOLs and certain other tax attributes when a corporation has undergone an “ownership change” (generally, if the percentage of its stock owned by its “5-percent shareholders,” as defined in Section 382, increases by more than 50 percentage points (by value) over a three-year period). We are not aware of any existing restrictions or limitations on the use of our NOLs or other tax attributes under Section 382. However, we may undergo an ownership change in the future, including as a result of the combined effect of this and future offerings, which would result in an annual limitation under Section 382. The limitations arising from any ownership change may prevent utilization of our NOLs and certain other tax attributes.
We arecontinue expandingto advance our international operationsdistributor model and staffare enhancing our resources to better support ourthese growthdealer intoinitiatives thein international markets. Our corporate structure and associated transfer pricing policies anticipate future growth into the international markets. The amount of taxes we pay in different jurisdictions may depend on the application of the tax laws of the various jurisdictions, including the United States, to our international business activities, changes in tax rates, new or revised tax laws, interpretations of existing tax laws and policies, and our ability to operate our business in a manner consistent with our corporate structure and intercompany arrangements. The taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our methodologies for pricing intercompany transactions, which are generally required to be computed on an arm’s-length basis pursuant to intercompany arrangements or disagree with our determinations as to the income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. If such a challenge or disagreement were to occur, and our position was not sustained, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, which could result in one-time tax charges, higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows, and lower overall profitability of our operations. Our financial statements could fail to reflect adequate reserves to cover such a contingency.
New income, sales, use, value-added, or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be enacted at any time. Those enactments could harm our domestic and international business operations, and our business and financial performance. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified, or applied adversely to us. These events could require us or our customers to pay additional tax amounts on a prospective or retroactive basis, as well as require us or our customers to pay fines and/or penalties and interest for past amounts deemed to be due. If we raise our prices to offset the costs of these changes, existing and potential future customers may elect not to purchase our products in the future. Additionally, new, changed, modified, or newly interpreted or applied tax laws could increase our customers’ and our compliance, operating, and other costs, as well as the costs of our products. Further, these events could decrease the capital we have available to operate our business. Any or all of these events could harm our business and financial performance. For example, various legislative and regulatory actions and proposals, such as in the United States, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”), and the EU, have increasingly focused on future tax reform and contemplate changes to long-standing tax principles, which could adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. The OECD has introduced a framework to implement a global minimum tax of 15% for companies with revenues of at least EUR 750,000,000 (“Pillar Two”). While it is uncertain whether the United States will enact legislation to adopt Pillar Two, certain countries in which we operate have enacted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing draft legislation to implement Pillar Two. Where enacted, many aspects of Pillar Two will be effective in 2025 with additional components becoming effective beginning in 2026. On June 28, 2025, however, the G7, seven countries which include the United States, released a joint Statement on Global Minimum Tax, announcing an understanding regarding a proposed “side-by-side” solution that would exempt U.S. multinational businesses from some of the Pillar 2 rules (including the 15% global minimum tax). On January 6, 2026, the OECD released a “side-by-side” package that generally establishes an exemption for U.S. multinationals from the 15% global minimum tax. However, implementation of the package depends on domestic legislation and regulation in OECD member countries and is subject to subsequent review. Any minimum tax may have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While we do not currently have revenues above that threshold, with continued growth it may reach that level in future years. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential consequences of Pillar Two on our longer-term financial position.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.0$19.6 million, $125.0$112.5 million borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, and up to $30.0 million borrowing capacity under the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and had drawn down $5.0 million under the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of December 31, 2024,2025, the total principal amount outstanding under our First Lien Term Loan Facility was $403.6$403.3 million. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to the holders of our common stock, including the following:

In May 2025, we commenced Project Gravity, a multi-step strategic optimization plan intended to streamline our organizational structure and rebalance our cost base, including a reduction in force, centralization of our MEATER business into our Salt Lake City infrastructure, discontinuation of the Costco roadshow program, exit from the Traeger direct to consumer business by redirecting Traeger.com consumers to retail partners, transition to a distributor model in certain European markets that operate under a direct model, and pellet mill consolidation.
We sell our grills using an omnichannel distribution strategy that consists primarily of retail and direct to consumer (“DTC”) channels. Our retail channel covers brick-and-mortar retailers, e-commerce platforms, and multichannel retailers, who, in turn, sell our grills to their end customers. Our retailers include Ace Hardware, Amazon, Costco, The Home Depot, and Best Buy, among others, as well as a significant number of independent retailers that cater to local communities and specific categories, such as hardware, camping, outdoor, farm, ranch, barbecue, and other categories. Our DTC channel covers sales directly to customers through our website and Traeger app, as well as certain country- and region-specific Traeger or distributor websites. Our consumables and accessories are available through the same channels as our grills. As part of Project Gravity, we are undertaking a broader channel optimization strategy that includes exiting the Traeger-operated DTC business. In connection with this shift, we have begun redirecting consumers from Traeger.com to our retail partners’ websites, aligning our distribution model more closely with our retail-focused strategy. However, we will continue to offer our MEATER smart thermometer accessories through the DTC channel, as this model remains well‑suited to the MEATER brand and consumer base.

Continuing global economic uncertainty, terrorism and conflicts, political conditions, and fiscal challenges in the United States and abroad could result in adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth, or recession. We believe there is significant uncertainty regarding how macroeconomic conditions, including as a result of tariffs, sustained high levels of inflation and higher interest rates, will impact consumer demand for durable goods. While some of these conditions have negatively impacted consumer discretionary spending behavior, we continue to see demand for our products. We have, however, seen instances of consumer sensitivity to higher price points. Therefore, we have utilized promotional activity and strategic pricing action on select grills, which has primarily attributed to unit volume growth in excess of 20%, partially offset by high double-digit reduction in average selling price due to mix shift to lower priced grills, higher mix of direct import sales, and strategic pricing action on select grills for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period. As a result, revenue from our grills increased by $25.4 million to $324.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period.
Since the beginning of 2025, President Trump implemented and/or reinstated tariffs and import restrictions on products from various countries. In early 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs on certain Chinese goods and "reciprocal" tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) that escalated to as high as 125%. The U.S. also increased Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50% in June 2025 and significantly expanded coverage to derivative products in August 2025. In November 2025, the U.S. and China reached an agreement that reduced certain tariffs on Chinese goods to 10%, with the agreement extended through November 2026. However, on February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the President cannot use IEEPA to impose tariffs, invalidating certain tariffs that had been imposed under IEEPA. In response to this ruling, President Trump signed a proclamation imposing a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026, and subsequently increased these tariffs to 15% on February 21, 2026. Section 122 tariffs are subject to a 150-day statutory limit unless extended by Congress. In addition, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has announced it will initiate new Section 301 investigations into trading partners' unfair practices, which could result in additional tariffs. The administration has stated that combining Section 122, Section 232, and Section 301 tariffs will result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026, signaling its intent to maintain similar tariff levels through alternative legal authorities. The Supreme Court's ruling did not address whether importers who paid IEEPA tariffs are entitled to refunds, and that issue remains subject to further litigation before the U.S. Court of International Trade. We cannot predict whether or when any refunds will be available, and the administration has indicated it intends to contest refund claims. These developments, as well as any further changes in tariff rates, product coverage, or non-tariff trade barriers have disrupted and have the potential to further disrupt existing supply chains and impose additional costs on businesses in our industry. The resulting environment of tariffs and trade restrictions has required us to increase prices for our products in the U.S., which could lead to decreased consumer demand for our products and would negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. For more information on risks to our business related to tariffs, please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors – United States trade policies that restrict imports or increase import tariffs may have a material adverse effect on our business.”
In February and March 2025, President Trump implemented and/or reinstated tariffs and import restrictions on products from various countries, some of which went into effect on March 4, 2025. The implementation of tariffs has the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and impose additional costs on businesses in our industry. While negotiations regarding tariffs are ongoing, if the resulting environment of retaliatory tariffs or other practices of additional trade restrictions or barriers require us to increase prices for our products in the U.S., this could lead to decreased consumer demand for our products, which would negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. For more information on risks to our business related to tariffs, please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors – United States trade policies that restrict imports or increase import tariffs may have a material adverse effect on our business.”
In response to these macroeconomic conditions, we have taken actions to identify and execute on cost savings initiatives, while simultaneously seeking to maintain product quality and reliability across the supply chain.

We recognize revenue, net of product returns, for our grills, consumables, and accessories generally at the time of deliveryshipment to retailers through our retail channel and to customers through our DTC channel. Estimated product returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of recognition and are calculated based on product returns history, observable changes in return behavior, and expected returns based on sales volume and mix. We also have certain contractual programs that can give rise to elements of variable consideration, such as volume incentive rebates, with estimated amounts of credits recorded as a reduction to revenue.
Gross profit reflects revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists of product costs, including the costs of products from our third-party manufacturers, costs of components, direct and indirect manufacturing costs across all products, packaging, inbound freight and duties, warehousing and fulfillment, warranty costs, product quality testing and inspection costs, excess and obsolete inventory write-downs, cloud-hosting costs for our WiFIRE connected products, depreciation of tooling and manufacturing equipment, amortization of internal use software and patented technology, and certain employee-related expenses.
We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by revenue. Several factors can impact gross margin, particularly sales channel mix and product mix. For instance, gross margin on sales through our direct import program with certain retail partners is generally higher than that of our core retail channels. If our direct import program grows or its sales outpace those of our core retail channels, and if we are able to realize greater economies of scale and freight cost savings, we would expect a favorable impact to overall gross margin over time. Additionally, gross margin on sales of certain of our products is higher than for others. If revenue from sales of wood pellets increased as a percentage of total revenue, we would expect to see an increase in overall gross margin. These potentially favorable anticipated gross margin impacts may not be realized, or may be offset by other unfavorable gross margin factors. Additionally, any new products that we develop, or external factors beyond our control, such as duties and tariffs and costs of doing business in certain geographies, may also impact gross margin. For example, the recently imposedimplemented or announced and, in some cases, temporarily paused pending negotiations, tariffs on foreign goods, including a 20%baseline 10% tariff on product imports from almost all countries and individualized higher tariffs on importedother fromcountries, China, 25%50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports,imports from nations other than the United Kingdom, which remains at 25% currently, and Canada'sthe announcement of a retaliatory tariff on certain U.S. goods by other nations could impact our gross margin. For more information on risks to our business related to tariffs, please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors – United States trade policies that restrict imports or increase import tariffs may have a material adverse effect on our business.”
We continue to expect our general and administrative expenses, including our research and development expenses and external legal and accounting expenses, to vary as a percentage of revenue from period to period. However, asAs we continue to manage our investments to support our growth and develop newinnovation and enhance existingour products,product offerings, we expect to leverage these expenses over time to achieve profitability and expand revenue opportunities. In addition, as a result of the cost-reduction actions implemented under Project Gravity, we growanticipate oura revenue.reduction in overall operating expenditures, including a decrease in general and administrative expenses.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. Substantially all of our goodwill was recognized in the purchase price allocations when our Company was acquired in 2017 and when Apption Labs was acquired in July 2021, with smaller incremental amounts recognized in subsequent business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In conducting the impairment test, we first review qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We currently operate as a single reporting unit under the guidance in Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.
When testing goodwill for impairment, we have the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we elect to bypass the qualitative assessment, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that carrying value exceeds its fair value, we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the quantitative goodwill impairment test, if our reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, we will record an impairment charge based on that difference.
During the third quarter of 2025, we identified a potential indicator of impairment due to the sustained decrease of our stock price and market capitalization which led to the conclusion that a triggering event had occurred and therefore we performed a quantitative test for the single reporting unit. Based on the quantitative impairment test of goodwill, we determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit was in excess of its fair value after considering a control premium and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $74.7 million. For details associated with our interim goodwill impairment, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
The fair values of our contingent consideration earn out obligation associated with the Apption Labs business combination is estimated based on probability adjusted present values of the consideration expected to be transferred using significant inputs. In April 2024, the Company paid the remaining $15.0 million of contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain earnings and product launch thresholds for fiscal year 2023. Prior to the final payment we would revalue the contingent consideration obligation to its fair value and record increases and decreases in fair value within the change in fair value of contingent consideration in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation resulted from changes in discount periods and rates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the performance targets in the Share Purchase Agreement.
Restructuring and Other Costs
On May 15, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a comprehensive enterprise initiative designed to streamline our organizational structure and rebalance its cost base to achieve profitability and cash flow generation. As part of this initiative, we have identified potential opportunities to deliver cost savings and efficiencies. These savings are expected to be achieved through Project Gravity, which includes a reduction in force and the centralization and streamlining of our operations.
As a result of these initiatives, we have recorded $21.8 million of expenses within restructuring and other costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025. Of these total costs, $13.9 million, $7.2 million and $0.8 million are related to consulting fees, severance and other personnel costs, and other restructuring related costs for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Board approved the 2022 restructuring plan as part of its efforts to reduce our costs and drive long-term operational efficiencies due to challenging macroeconomic pressures. As part of the 2022 restructuring plan, we eliminated approximately 14% of our global headcount, suspended operations of Traeger Provisions, our premium frozen meal kit business, and postponed nearshoring efforts to manufacture product in Mexico. These actions and the associated costs were substantially completed and recognized in the third quarter of 2022 and the final costs were recognized during the third quarter of 2023.
Total other expense consists of interest expense and other income (expense),income, net. Interest expense includes interest and other fees associated with our Credit Facilities, Receivables Financing Agreement (each as defined below) as well as the amortization of amounts recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income prior to the dedesignation of the interest rate swap derivative contracts as a cash flow hedge. Other income (expense),income, net consists of any realized and unrealized gains (losses) from our interest rate swap derivative contract subsequent to the dedesignation of the swap contract from a cash flow hedge, the benefit recognized associated with the employee retention tax credit, foreign currency realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar and the foreign currency contracts that we use to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our purchases and international operations.

Revenue decreased by $1.8$44.6 million, or 0.3%,7.4%, to $559.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $604.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $605.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. This decrease was primarily driven primarily by lower sales from our grills and accessories, partially offset by higher sales from our grill and consumables.
Revenue from our grills decreased by $26.7 million, or 8.2%, to $298.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $324.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a mid-single digit decline in average selling price and mid-single digit reduction in unit volume. The lower average selling price (“ASP”) reflected a mix shift to lower priced grills, while the decrease in unit volume was driven by the impact of pricing actions on demand, partially offset by higher orders of lower ASP grills.
Revenue from our grills increased by $25.4 million, or 8.5%, to $324.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $299.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was driven primarily by unit volume growth in excess of 30%, partially offset by high double-digit reduction in average selling price. Higher unit volume was driven by the launch of our new grill offerings, effective promotional activity and strategic pricing action on select grills. The decrease in average selling price was primarily due to mix shift to lower priced grills, higher mix of direct import sales, and strategic pricing action on select grills.

We recorded non-cash goodwill impairment of $74.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, whereas no goodwill impairment was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024. The goodwill impairment resulted from a quantitative impairment assessment in which the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit was determined to be below its carrying amount.
Restructuring and Other Costs
* Not meaningful
We recorded $21.8 million of restructuring and other costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 whereas there were no restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2024. These costs are related to Project Gravity which primarily related to consulting fees associated with the execution of these initiatives, as well as severance and other personnel costs and other restructuring related costs.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration, attributable to the revalued earn out obligation associated with the Apption Labs business combination, decreased by $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period. The change in fair value was primarily driven by the change in the likelihood of achieving the fiscal year 2023 performance targets for each period. In April 2024, the Company paid the remaining $15.0 million of contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain earnings and product launch thresholds for fiscal year 2023.
Total other expense decreased by $11.4 million, or 34.6%, to $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $33.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the benefit recognized from the employee retention tax credit and favorable impacts from foreign currency exchange rates and related contracts, partially offset by lower realized gains on our interest rate swap.
Total other expense increased by $6.1 million, or 22.4%, to $33.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $27.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was due primarily to increases in interest expense on our First Lien Term Loan Facility, a decrease in the net realized and unrealized gain position from our interest rate swap and net losses from our foreign currency contracts.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.0$19.6 million, $125.0$112.5 million borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), and up to $30.0 million borrowing capacity under our Receivables Financing Agreement (as defined below). As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility and had drawn down $5.0 million under the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of December 31, 2024,2025, the total principal amount outstanding under our First Lien Term Loan Facility (as defined below) was $403.6$403.3 million. Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we continue to believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Financing Agreement, and our anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth and ability to achieve profitability, the timing and size of future acquisitions, and the timing of introductions of new products and investments in our supply chain and implementation of technologies.
Cash flows related to operating activities are dependent on net loss, non-cash adjustments to net loss, and changes in working capital. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 20242025 compared to the year ended December 31, 20232024 is primarily due to athe netcash payments related to Project Gravity initiatives and tariff related costs, along with the increase in working capital balances, partially offset by a decrease in net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, as compared to the prior year period. The net increase in workingnon-cash capitaladjustments, balancesand was primarily due to the increasechanges in inventorynet balancesworking in the current year period compared to the reduction of high inventory levels at the beginning of the prior year period as a result of strategic inventory management initiatives, as well as increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the current year period due to the seasonality and timing of our payments.capital.

On June 29, 2021, we refinanced our existing credit facilities and entered into a new first lien credit agreement, as borrower, with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and other lenders party thereto as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (as amended from time to time, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”). The First Lien Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”), and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). We entered into an agency transfer agreement on April 30, 2024, pursuant to which Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. succeeded Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Credit Facilities. Our obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement are substantively unchanged.
On August 5, 2025, we entered into an amendment to our First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date of a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, reduce the size of the Revolving Credit Facility by 10% and modify other provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility, as described below.
The First Lien Credit Agreement providesoriginally provided for a $560.0 million First Lien Term Loan Facility (including a $50.0 million delayed draw term loan) and a $125.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.
The First Lien Term Loan Facility accrues interest at a rate per annum that considersincorporates both fixed and floating components. The fixed component ranges from 3.00% to 3.25% per annum based on our Public Debt Rating (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). The floating component is based on the Term SOFR (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) for the relevant interest period. The First Lien Term Loan Facility requires periodic principal payments from December 2021 through June 2028, with any remaining unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest due on the maturity date of June 29, 2028. As of December 31, 2024,2025, the total principal amount outstanding on the First Lien Term Loan Facility was $403.6$403.3 million.
Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate per annum that considers both fixed and floating components. The fixed component ranges from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum based on our most recently determined First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). The floating component is based on the Term SOFR for the relevant interest period. The Revolving Credit Facility also has a variable commitment fee, which is based on our most recently determined First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on undrawn amounts. Letters of credit may be issued under the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million which, when issued, lower the overall borrowing capacity of the facility. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on June 29, 2026 and no principal payments are due before such date. As of December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Amendment made several material modifications to the Revolving Credit Facility. The overall size of the Revolving Credit Facility has been reduced by 10% to $112.5 million, and has been split into two tranches: a $30.0 million tranche expiring on June 29, 2026 and a $82.5 million tranche expiring on December 29, 2027 (the “Extended Revolving Facility”). No payment of outstanding principal amounts under either tranche is due prior to the respective expiration date of each tranche. As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Except as noted below, the Credit Facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of TGP Holdings III LLC, TGPX Holdings II LLC, TPC Traeger Blocker, LP, Traeger Pellet Grills Holdings LLC,LLC and certain subsidiaries of Traeger Pellet Grills Holdings LLC, including intellectual property, mortgages,mortgages and the equity interest of each of these respective entities. The assets of Traeger SPE LLC (the “SPE”) ,LLC, substantively consisting of our accounts receivable, collateralize the receivables financing agreement discussed below and do not collateralize the Credit Facilities. There are no guarantees from parent entities above Traeger, Inc.
The First Lien Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or liens (with certain exceptions), make certain investments, engage in fundamental changes or transactions including changes of control, transfer or dispose of certain assets, make restricted payments (including dividends), engage in new lines of business, make certain prepayments and engage in certain affiliate transactions. InPursuant addition,to whenthe Amendment, we exceedhave agreed to certain additional negative covenant restrictions for the Covenantbenefit Trigger Amount (as defined inof the Firstlenders Lienunder the Extended Revolving Facility. All lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement), weFacility are subjectthe tobeneficiaries of a financial covenant whereby we are required to maintain a Maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) nottest to exceedof 6.20 to 1.00.1.00, which is only applicable if our utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility in excess of a threshold set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement. The lenders under the Extended Revolving Facility are the beneficiaries of a 6.20 to 1.00 First Lien Net Leverage Ratio covenant with a reduced trigger threshold for testing, as set forth in the Amendment, and a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the maintenance of liquidity of at least $15.0 million, which is tested monthly. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facilities.
On November 2, 2020, we entered into a receivables financing agreement,agreement (as amended, (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”). Through the Receivables Financing Agreement, we participate in a trade receivables securitization program, administered on our behalf by MUFG Bank Ltd. Through this arrangement, we have secured short-term capital requirements financingLtd., using outstanding accounts receivables balances as collateral, which have been contributed by us to aour wholly owned subsidiary, Traeger SPE LLC (the SPE."SPE"). While we provide operational services to the SPE, the receivables are owned by the SPE once contributed to it by us. We are the primary beneficiary and hold all equity interests of the SPE, thus we consolidate the SPE without any significant judgments.

What changed in the latest 10-Q
Risk Factors
Largest changes
There have been significant changes and proposed changes in recent years to U.S. trade policies, tariffs, and treaties affecting imports. For example, the U.S. has announced and implemented additional tariffs on certain imports from China under multiple authorities. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the President cannot use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs, invalidating certain tariffs that had been imposed under IEEPA. In response to this ruling, the President signed a proclamation imposing a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026. Section 122 tariffs are subject to a 150-day statutory limitsee in full comparison(currentlyandsetexpiredtobyexpireoperation of law on July 24,2026)2026,unlessabsentextendedextension by Congress. The legality of the Section 122 tariffs is itself the subject of ongoing litigation; on March 5, 2026, twenty-four states filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging the President's authority to impose global tariffs under Section 122, and a separate legal challenge was filed by impacted businesses on March 9, 2026. On May 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the Section 122 tariffs are unlawful. The court's injunctioncurrently appliesapplied only to the specific plaintiffs, and the tariffsremainremained in effect for all other importers while the administrationpursuespursued anappeal.appeal until they expired by operation of law on July 24, 2026. In addition, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has initiated new Section 301 investigations targeting structural excess capacity in manufacturing sectors and forced labor practices.TheseThe forced labor investigations resulted in additional Section 301 tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 economies, subject to certain product exemptions, effective July 24, 2026, and the structural excess capacity investigations could result in additional country-specific tariffs similar in scope to those previously imposed under IEEPA. Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods also remain in effect.
In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., China and other countries have imposed or proposed additional tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is substantial uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations, and tariffs. This uncertainty has been heightened by the February 2026 Supreme Court ruling invalidating IEEPA tariffs and the May 2026 U.S. Court of International Trade ruling striking down the Section 122 tariffs, which together have resulted in changes to the tariff structure and cast doubt on the administration's current legal authority to maintain broad-based global tariffs. The administration has stated that combining Section 122, Section 232, and Section 301 tariffs will result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026, signaling its intent to maintain similar tariff levels through alternative legal authorities. However, the Section 122 tariffssee in full comparisonareexpiredsetbytooperationexpireof law on July 24,20262026,(unlessabsentextendedextension byCongress),Congress, andthewhilenewUSTR has finalized forced-labor-related Section 301 tariffs effective July 24, 2026, its structural excess capacity Section 301 investigationsmayremainnot conclude in time to replace them,pending, creating additional uncertainty as to the tariff rates that will apply to our imports in the second half of 2026 and beyond. We cannot predict whether, and to what extent, U.S. trade policies will change in the future. A significant proportion of our products, including our grills, are manufactured in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, and other regions outside of the United States. Approximately 80% of our grills are manufactured in China.

There have been significant changes and proposed changes in recent years to U.S. trade policies, tariffs, and treaties affecting imports. For example, the U.S. has announced and implemented additional tariffs on certain imports from China under multiple authorities. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the President cannot use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs, invalidating certain tariffs that had been imposed under IEEPA. In response to this ruling, the President signed a proclamation imposing a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026. Section 122 tariffs are subject to a 150-day statutory limit (currentlyand setexpired toby expireoperation of law on July 24, 2026)2026, unlessabsent extendedextension by Congress. The legality of the Section 122 tariffs is itself the subject of ongoing litigation; on March 5, 2026, twenty-four states filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging the President's authority to impose global tariffs under Section 122, and a separate legal challenge was filed by impacted businesses on March 9, 2026. On May 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the Section 122 tariffs are unlawful. The court's injunction currently appliesapplied only to the specific plaintiffs, and the tariffs remainremained in effect for all other importers while the administration pursuespursued an appeal.appeal until they expired by operation of law on July 24, 2026. In addition, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has initiated new Section 301 investigations targeting structural excess capacity in manufacturing sectors and forced labor practices. TheseThe forced labor investigations resulted in additional Section 301 tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 economies, subject to certain product exemptions, effective July 24, 2026, and the structural excess capacity investigations could result in additional country-specific tariffs similar in scope to those previously imposed under IEEPA. Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods also remain in effect.
The U.S. also continues to maintain tariffs on steelsteel, aluminum and aluminum,copper, as well as increased tariffs and import restrictions on products imported from various other countries. These tariffs on aluminumaluminum, steel and steelcopper include derivative tariffs that have impacted and will continue to impact a broad range of downstream products, which have and may continue to adversely impact our business.

Accordingly, the timing and ultimate amount of any refunds we receive remain uncertain.
In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., China and other countries have imposed or proposed additional tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is substantial uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations, and tariffs. This uncertainty has been heightened by the February 2026 Supreme Court ruling invalidating IEEPA tariffs and the May 2026 U.S. Court of International Trade ruling striking down the Section 122 tariffs, which together have resulted in changes to the tariff structure and cast doubt on the administration's current legal authority to maintain broad-based global tariffs. The administration has stated that combining Section 122, Section 232, and Section 301 tariffs will result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026, signaling its intent to maintain similar tariff levels through alternative legal authorities. However, the Section 122 tariffs areexpired setby tooperation expireof law on July 24, 20262026, (unlessabsent extendedextension by Congress),Congress, and thewhile newUSTR has finalized forced-labor-related Section 301 tariffs effective July 24, 2026, its structural excess capacity Section 301 investigations mayremain not conclude in time to replace them,pending, creating additional uncertainty as to the tariff rates that will apply to our imports in the second half of 2026 and beyond. We cannot predict whether, and to what extent, U.S. trade policies will change in the future. A significant proportion of our products, including our grills, are manufactured in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, and other regions outside of the United States. Approximately 80% of our grills are manufactured in China. Accordingly, such U.S. policy changes have made it and may continue to make it difficult or more expensive for us to obtain certain downstream products manufactured outside the United States, which could affect our revenue and profitability. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and affect our strategy in China, Vietnam, Taiwan, and elsewhere around the world.

Since the beginning of 2025, President Trump implemented and/or reinstated tariffs and import restrictions on products from various countries. In early 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs on certain Chinese goods andsee in full comparison"“reciprocal"” tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) that escalated to as high as 125%. The U.S. also increased Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50% in June 2025 and significantly expanded coverage to derivative products in August 2025. On April 2, 2026, President Trump signed a new Section 232proclamationsproclamation restructuring the metals tariffs so that the 50% rate applies to the full customs value of certain imported steel, aluminum, and copper products (rather than only the metal content), with certain derivative products subject to a 25% tariff on the full customsvalue.value and certain other derivative products subject to lower or no Section 232 tariffs. In November 2025, the U.S. and China reached an agreement that reduced certain tariffs on Chinese goods to 10%, with the agreement extended through November 2026. However, on February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the President cannot use IEEPA to impose tariffs, invalidating certain tariffs that had been imposed under IEEPA. In response to this ruling, President Trump signed a proclamation imposing a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026.

On March11,11 and March 12, 2026, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative formally launched new Section 301 investigations into trading partners' unfair practices, which could result in additional tariffs. On July 23, 2026, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced final action in the forced labor Section 301 investigations, imposing additional tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 economies, subject to certain product exemptions, effective July 24, 2026. The structural excess capacity Section 301 investigations remain pending. The administration has stated that combining Section 122, Section 232, and Section 301 tariffs will result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026, signaling its intent to maintain similar tariff levels through alternative legal authorities. However, the May 7 ruling striking down the Section 122 tariffs (if upheld on appeal)and, the July 24, 2026 statutoryexpirationexpiration, and the pending structural excess capacity Section 301 investigations create uncertainty as to whether the administration can maintain current tariff levels in the second half of 2026.

We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by revenue. Gross margin on sales through our direct import program with certain retail partners is generally higher than that of our core retail channels. If our direct import program grows or its sales outpace those of our core retail channels, and if we are able to realize greater economies of scale and freight cost savings, we would expect a favorable impact to overall gross margin over time. Additionally, gross marginsee in full comparisononfor sales of certain of our products is higher than for others. If revenue from sales of wood pellets increased as a percentage of total revenue, we would expect to see an increase in overall gross margin. These potentially favorableanticipatedgross margin impacts may not be realized, or may be offset by other unfavorable gross margin factors. Additionally, any new products that we develop, or external factors beyond our control, such as duties and tariffs and costs of doing business in certain geographies, may also impact gross margin.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (our “Annual Report on Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2026. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, such as those set forth in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. For convenience of presentation, some of the numbers have been rounded in the text below.
Traeger is the creator and category leader of the wood pellet grill, an outdoor cooking system that ignites all-natural hardwoods to grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise, and barbecue. Our grills are versatile and easy to use, empowering cooks of all skill sets to create delicious meals with a wood-fired flavor that cannot be replicated with gas, charcoal, or electric grills. Grills are at the core of our platform and are complemented by Traeger wood pellets, rubs, sauces,sauces and accessories.
Our revenue is primarily generated through the sale of our wood pellet grills, consumables and accessories. We currently offer nineten series of grills – Westwood, Woodridge, Ironwood, Timberline, Pro (with and without WiFIRE), Flatrock, and FlatrockIrontop – as well as a selection of smaller, portable grills within our Portable Series and a special Club Lineup through targeted channels. Our grills are available in a number of different sizes and can be upgraded through a variety of accessories. A growing number of our grills feature WiFIRE technology, which allows users to monitor and adjust their grills remotely using our Traeger app. Our consumables include our wood pellets, which are made from natural, virgin hardwood and are available in a variety of flavors, as well as rubs and sauces. Our accessories include MEATER smart thermometers, P.A.L. Pop-And-Lock accessory rails, grill covers, liners, tools, apparel and other ancillary items.
As part of Project Gravity, we largely exited our Traeger-operated DTC business by redirecting consumers from Traeger.com to our retail partners’ websites, aligning our distribution model with our retail-focused strategy. We now sell our grills, consumables and accessories primarily through retail channels, including brick-and-mortar retailers, e-commerce platforms, and multichannel retailers, who, in turn, sell our grills to their end customers. Our retailers include Ace Hardware, Amazon, Costco, The Home Depot, Walmart and Walmart,Lowes, among others, as well as a significant number of independent retailers that cater to local communities and specific categories, such as hardware, camping, outdoor, farm, ranch, barbecue and other categories. We continue to offer our MEATER smart thermometers accessories through both retail and DTC channels, as this model remains well‑suited to the MEATER brand and its consumer base.
Over the last several years, we have made significant investments in our supply chain and manufacturing operations. Our supply chain includes third party manufacturers for our grills and accessories and pellet production facilities for our wood pellets that we own or lease. We work closely with our manufacturers to evolve on design, manufacturing process and product quality. Our grills are currently manufactured in China and Vietnam, our wood pellets are produced at facilities located in New York, Oregon, Georgia, Virginia, and Texas, and our MEATER smart thermometer accessories are currently manufactured in Taiwan. We have entered into manufacturing agreements covering the supply of substantially all of our grills and accessories, pursuant to which we make purchases on a purchase order basis. We rely on several third-party suppliers for the components used in our grills, including integrated circuits, processors, and system on chips.
RevenueOur revenue decreased by 34.3%17.4% and 25.8% to $94.1$120.2 million and $214.2 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, respectively, as compared to $143.3$145.5 million and $288.8 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.2025, respectively. We recorded a net incomeloss of $2.9$8.6 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, respectively, compared to a net loss of $0.8$7.4 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.2025, respectively.
We believe that our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those belowbelow, Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Continuing global economic uncertainty, terrorism and conflicts, such as the war in the Middle East, political conditions, and fiscal challenges in the United States and abroad could result in adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth, or recession. We believe there is significant uncertainty regarding how macroeconomic conditions, including as a result of tariffs, sustained high levels of inflation and higher interest rates, will impact consumer demand for durable goods. While some of these conditions have negatively impacted consumer discretionary spending behavior, we continue to see demand for our products.
Since the beginning of 2025, President Trump implemented and/or reinstated tariffs and import restrictions on products from various countries. In early 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs on certain Chinese goods and "“reciprocal"” tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) that escalated to as high as 125%. The U.S. also increased Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50% in June 2025 and significantly expanded coverage to derivative products in August 2025. On April 2, 2026, President Trump signed a new Section 232 proclamationsproclamation restructuring the metals tariffs so that the 50% rate applies to the full customs value of certain imported steel, aluminum, and copper products (rather than only the metal content), with certain derivative products subject to a 25% tariff on the full customs value.value and certain other derivative products subject to lower or no Section 232 tariffs. In November 2025, the U.S. and China reached an agreement that reduced certain tariffs on Chinese goods to 10%, with the agreement extended through November 2026. However, on February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the President cannot use IEEPA to impose tariffs, invalidating certain tariffs that had been imposed under IEEPA.

Of this amount, $12.4 million was recorded within cost of revenue and the remaining $3.2 million within inventory.

The ultimate timing of additional cash receipts remains uncertain and subject to further legal and regulatory developments.
These developments, as well as any further changes in tariff rates, product coverage, or non-tariff trade barriers have disrupted and have the potential to further disrupt existing supply chains and impose additional costs on businesses in our industry. The resulting environment of tariffs and trade restrictions has required us to increase prices for our products in the U.S., which could lead to decreased consumer demand for our products and would negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. For more information on risks to our business related to tariffs, please see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors – United States trade policies, tariffs, antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings, and related uncertainties may have a material adverse effect on our business” included in of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Although we experience demand for our products throughout the year, we believe there can be certain seasonal fluctuations in our revenue. We have typically experienced moderately higher levels of sales of our grills in the first and second quarters of the year as our retailers purchase inventory in advance of warmer weather, when demand for outdoor cooking products is the highest across our key markets. Higher sales also coincide with social events and national holidays, which occur during the same warm weather timeframe. Additionally, we have typically experienced higher sales volume of our accessories during the fourth quarter of the year, due in part to seasonal holiday demand.
We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by revenue. Gross margin on sales through our direct import program with certain retail partners is generally higher than that of our core retail channels. If our direct import program grows or its sales outpace those of our core retail channels, and if we are able to realize greater economies of scale and freight cost savings, we would expect a favorable impact to overall gross margin over time. Additionally, gross margin onfor sales of certain of our products is higher than for others. If revenue from sales of wood pellets increased as a percentage of total revenue, we would expect to see an increase in overall gross margin. These potentially favorable anticipated gross margin impacts may not be realized, or may be offset by other unfavorable gross margin factors. Additionally, any new products that we develop, or external factors beyond our control, such as duties and tariffs and costs of doing business in certain geographies, may also impact gross margin.

In addition, general and administrative expense includes research and development expenses incurred to develop and improve our future products and processes, which primarily consist of employee and facilities-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, as well as fees for professional services, costs related to prototype tooling and materials, and software platform costs. Research and development expense was $2.3$3.2 million and $2.9$3.4 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $5.5 million and $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of amortization of identified finite-lived customer relationships, distributor relationships, non-compete arrangements and trademark assets that were allocated a considerable portion of the purchase price from the corporate reorganization and acquisition of our businessCompany in 2017, as well as the July 2021 acquisition of Apption Labs Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Apption Labs”) pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”).agreement. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 25 year useful lives and, as a result, amortization expense on these assets is expected to remain stable over the coming years. Future business acquisitions may result in incremental amortization of intangible assets acquired in any such transactions.
Restructuring and Other Costs
As a result of these initiatives, we have recorded $3.2 million of expenses,expenses primarily related to consulting fees and severance and other personnel costs, within restructuring and other costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026.2026 and 2025.
Total Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) consists of interest expense and other income, net. Interest expense includes interest and other fees associated with our Credit Facilities andFacilities, Receivables Financing Agreement (each as defined below), as well as interest income in connection with the employee retention tax credit and the amortization of amounts recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) prior to the dedesignation of the interest rate swap derivative contractscontract as a cash flow hedge. Other income, net also consists of the benefit recognized associated with the employee retention tax credit, any unrealized gains (losses) from our interest rate swap derivative contract subsequent to the dedesignation of the swap contract from a cash flow hedge, foreign currency realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar and from the foreign currency contracts that we use to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our purchases and international operations.

Historically, our cash requirements have principally been for working capital purposes, capital expenditures, and debt service payments. We have funded our operations through cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, and borrowings under our credit facilities and receivables financing agreement. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $33.7$59.7 million, $112.5$82.5 million borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and $38.2$45.3 million borrowing capacity under our Receivables Financing Agreement (as defined below). As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had no outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility or the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the total principal amount outstanding under our First Lien Term Loan Facility (as defined below) was $403.3$403.2 million. Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we continue to believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Financing Agreement, and our anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth and ability to achieve profitability, the timing and size of future acquisitions, and the timing of introductions of new products and investments in our supply chain and implementation of technologies.
Cash flows related to operating activities are dependent on net income (loss),loss, non-cash adjustments to net income (loss),loss, and changes in working capital. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to cash used in operating activities during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 iswas primarily due to changesthe receipts of the IEEPA tariff refunds of $16.0 million and the receipts of employee retention tax credits of $11.6 million, which drove a decrease in net loss, as well as the net cash provided by working capital, partially offset by an increase in net income, adjusted for non-cash items, as compared to the prior year period. The current period change in working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts receivable, reflecting the collection of prior period balances against a lower volume of new sales activity following the Company's exit from direct-to-consumer business and the Costco roadshow programs under Project Gravity. Working capital benefited from decreases in accrued expenses, reflecting lower operating cost levels resulting from cost savings actions taken under Project Gravity, and a decrease in inventories, reflecting deliberate rightsizing of inventory levels in support of the Company's strategic realignment under Project Gravity,Gravity. partiallyWorking offsetcapital byalso anbenefited increasefrom a decrease in prepaidaccounts receivable, reflecting the collection of prior period balances against a lower volume of new sales activity following the Company's exit from the direct-to-consumer business and other current assets related to the IEEPACostco tariffroadshow refunds.programs under Project Gravity.

On June 29, 2021, wethe Company refinanced ourits existing credit facilities and entered into a newthe First Lien Credit Agreement. The First Lien Credit Agreement providesoriginally provided for a $560.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”), which originally includedincluding a $50.0 million delayed draw term loan, and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).
The First Lien Credit Agreement provides for a $560.0 million First Lien Term Loan Facility (including a $50.0 million delayed draw term loan) and a $125.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.
The First Lien Term Loan Facility accrues interest at Term SOFR plus a fixed spread ranging from 3.00% to 3.25% per annum based on our Public Debt Rating (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). The First Lien Term Loan Facility requires quarterly principal payments from December 2021 through June 2028, with any remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest due on the maturity date of June 29, 2028. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total principal amount outstanding on the First Lien Term Loan Facility was $403.2 million and $403.3 million.million, respectively.
On August 5, 2025, we amended the First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) to reduce the overall size of the Revolving Credit Facility from $125.0 million to $112.5 million and split it into two tranches: a $30.0 million tranche expiringwhich expired on June 29, 2026 and a $82.5 million tranche expiring on December 29, 2027 (the “Extended Revolving Facility”). Loans under the Extended Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at Term SOFR plus a fixed spread ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum, with a commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on undrawn amounts, each based on the Company'sour First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). Letters of credit may be issued under the Extended Revolving Credit Facility in an amount not to exceed $11.4 million which, when issued, lower the overall borrowing capacity of the facility. No payment of outstanding principal amounts under either tranche is due prior to the respective expiration date of each tranche. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Companywe had no outstanding loan amounts under the Extended Revolving Credit Facility.
The First Lien Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or liens (with certain exceptions), make certain investments, engage in fundamental changes or transactions including changes of control, transfer or dispose of certain assets, make restricted payments (including dividends), engage in new lines of business, make certain prepayments and engage in certain affiliate transactions. All lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are the beneficiaries of a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) test of 6.20 to 1.00, which is only applicable if the Company’sour utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility in excess of a threshold set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, we agreed to certain additional negative covenant restrictions for the benefit of the lenders under the Extended Revolving Facility. The lenders under the Extended Revolving Facility are the beneficiaries of a 6.20 to 1.00 First Lien Net Leverage Ratio covenant with a lower trigger threshold for testing, as set forth in the Amendment, and a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the maintenance of liquidity of at least $15.0 million, which is tested monthly. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facilities.
On August 6, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 10 to the Receivables Financing Agreement in order to extend the expiration of the facility to August 6, 2027. As part of the amendment, we were required to pay an upfront fee for the facility, along with a fixed interest rate on outstanding cash advances of approximately 2.6% and a floating interest rate based on the CP Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR (each as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement). We were in compliance with the covenants under the Receivables Financing Agreement as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, wethe Company had no outstanding loan amounts under the Receivables Financing Agreement.Agreement
