#1May 2022 SHOALS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. Q1 2022 Investor Presentation shoals#2DISCLAIMER Forward-Looking Statements and Other Information This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, technology developments, financing and investment plans, dividend policy, competitive position, industry and regulatory environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "seek," "should," "will," "would" or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this report. You should read this report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The following is a summary of some of the material risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect Shoals Technologies Group, Inc.'s (the "Company's") business, financial condition and results of operations. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of each risk factor contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and, if applicable, any in the latest Form 10-Q: (i) if demand for solar energy projects does not continue to grow or grows at a slower rate than we anticipate, our business will suffer; (ii) existing electric utility industry policies and regulations, and any subsequent changes, may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems that may significantly reduce demand for our products or harm our ability to compete; (iii) our industry has historically been cyclical and experienced periodic downturns; (iv) if we fail to, or incur significant costs in order to, obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, our business and results of operations could be materially harmed; (v) if we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed; (vi) acquisitions, joint ventures and/or investments, including our most recently announced acquisition of ConnectPV, and the failure to integrate acquired businesses, could disrupt our business and/or dilute or adversely affect the price of our common stock; (vii) if our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest, and our competitive position may be harmed; (viii) we may experience delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our manufacturing operations in part due to vendor concentration; (ix) the interruption of the flow of components and materials from international vendors could disrupt our supply chain, including as a result the imposition of additional duties, tariffs and other charges on imports nd exports; (x) changes in the United States trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs, could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenue, results of operations or cash flows; (xi) we face risks related to actual or threatened health epidemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other outbreaks, which could significantly disrupt our manufacturing and operations; (xii) our future growth in the EV charging market is highly dependent on the demand for, and consumers' willingness to adopt, EVs; (xiii) the reduction, elimination or expiration of government incentives for, or regulations mandating the use of, renewable energy and solar energy specifically could reduce demand for solar energy systems and harm our business; (xiv) a drop in the price of electricity sold may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects; (xv) an increase in interest rates, or a reduction in the availability of tax equity or project debt capital in the global financial markets could make it difficult for end customers to finance the cost of a solar energy system and could reduce the demand for our products; (xvi) defects or performance problems in our products could result in loss of customers, reputational damage and decreased revenue, and we may face warranty, indemnity and product liability claims arising from defective products; (xvii) our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations, resulting in a decline in the price of our Class A common stock; (xviii) compromises, interruptions or shutdowns of our systems, including those managed by third parties, whether intentional or inadvertent, could lead to delays in our business operations and, if significant or extreme, affect our results of operations; (xix) our planned expansion could subject us to additional business, financial, regulatory and competitive risks; (xx) our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial flexibility and our competitive position; (xxi) our indebtedness may restrict our current and future operations, which could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes in our business and to manage our operations; (xxii) developments in alternative technologies may have a material adverse effect on demand for our offerings; (xxiii) we are a holding company and our principal asset after completion of the reorganization is our interest in Shoals Parent and, accordingly, we are dependent upon Shoals Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries for our results of operations, cash flows and distributions; (xxiv) we are required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the amounts of such payments will be significant; (xxv) we will not be reimbursed for any payments made to the beneficiaries under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the event that any purported tax benefits are subsequently disallowed by the IRS; (xxvi) as an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, we may utilize certain modified disclosure requirements, and we cannot be certain if these reduced requirements will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors; (xxvii) provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management; (xxviii) our certificate of incorporation also provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees; (xxix) future sales of our Class A common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress our Class A common stock price; and (xxx) if we fail to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. shoals Ⓒ2022 Shoals Technologies Group 2#3DISCLAIMER Non-GAAP Financial Information This presentation includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (which are shown in the reconciliations set forth in the Appendix hereto), which are unaudited financial measures that exclude items and therefore are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These are presented as supplemental measures of the Company's performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation expense, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v) payable pursuant to the tax receivable agreement adjustment, (vi) loss on debt repayment, (vii) equity-based compensation, (viii) acquisition-related expenses, (ix) COVID-19 expenses and (x) non-recurring and other expenses. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) plus (i) amortization of intangibles, (ii) payable pursuant to the tax receivable agreement adjustment, (iii) loss on debt repayment, (iv) amortization of deferred financing costs, (v) equity-based compensation, (vi) acquisition-related expenses, (vii) COVID-19 expenses and (viii) non-recurring and other expenses, all net of applicable income taxes. The Company presents non-GAAP measures because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income: (i) as factors in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation; (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and (iii) because our credit agreement uses measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income a to measure our compliance with certain covenants. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be a substitute for, and should not be considered in isolation from, the financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Please see the Appendix for the reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures Market and Industry Data This presentation also contains information regarding the Company's market and industry that is derived from third-party research and publications. That information may rely upon a number of assumptions and limitations, and the Company has not independently verified its accuracy or completeness. shoals © 2022 Shoals Technologies Group 3#4AGENDA shoals shoals 01 02 03 04 Company Overview Technology and Value Proposition Growth Strategy Financial Overview and Business Update © 2022 Shoals Technologies Group 4#5shoals COMPANY OVERVIEW THE HEAD#6■ ■ ■ Leading Provider of Electrical Balance of System ("EBOS") solutions for solar energy Products used on approximately 50% of all U.S. solar capacity installed in 2021(¹) Significantly larger than next largest competitor Growing rapidly and taking share ⇒ 22% CAGR in revenues from 2019-2021 WHO WE ARE shoals Sell patented products that are less costly to install and more reliable than competing solutions ■ Install faster → fewer labor hours than conventional products ▪ Without licensed electricians → designed to be installed by general labor ■ With greater reliability → fewer connections and pre-terminated "plug-n- play" connectors Focus on selling complete systems rather than individual components Ⓒ2022 Shoals Technologies Group I ■ 73% of revenues from "system solutions" that include multiple products(2) Each system is custom designed for the customer's project (1) Estimated based on 11.1 GWs of products shipped for the year ended December 31, 2021 and an estimate of 20.6 GWs of total utility scale solar installations over the same period per IHS Markit PV Installations Tracker Q1- 2022, March 2022.
