During the same quarter in the previous year, the business earned $0.12 earnings per share.

Here are the key takeaways from Shoals Technologies Group’s conference call:

• Shoals and ARRAY agreed to merge in a stock-for-stock transaction, with Shoals shareholders expected to own about 65% of the combined company. The companies expect to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
• Management is targeting more than $100 million in annual synergies by year three, with $35 million expected in year one. It also cited a potential $2.5 billion in incremental sales from cross-selling, based on projects where only one company’s products were used; these are opportunities, not guaranteed results.
• The companies forecast combined 2027 revenue of $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $410 million to $480 million, including synergies. They expect pro forma net debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 2.6x in 2026, falling below 2x in 2027, and plan preferred-stock redemptions that management says would reduce distributions by nearly $100 million over five years.
• Both companies reported strong Q3 operating momentum: Shoals posted record revenue of $195.3 million, up 44% year over year, while ARRAY reported a record $2.6 billion order book, up 42%. ARRAY’s adjusted gross margin was 22.8%, including a 330-basis-point charge related to a supplier rebate reserve.
• The proposed benefits depend on successfully integrating the businesses and capturing commercial synergies, and the transaction remains subject to approvals. Management also noted that the merger is not expected to require new debt to close, but ongoing liquidity and the pace of preferred-stock redemptions remain important considerations.
