SharkNinja Gross Sales Increased by 11.7% Year-on-Year
Nearly All Major Product Categories Achieved Single Digit Market Share Growth Year-on-Year
HONG KONG, October 27, 2022 – JS Global Lifestyle Company Limited (Hong Kong: 1691) (“JS Global” or the “Company”), a world-leading producer of small household appliances that operates three major brands: Shark, Ninja and Joyoung, today announced certain unaudited key operational data for the three months ended September 30, 2022 for its SharkNinja segment.
“SharkNinja delivered exceptional results globally this quarter, despite the presence of macro headwinds,” said Wang Xuning, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of JS Global. “Gross sales increased meaningfully across each of our key regions as we gained market share across nearly all of our major categories, demonstrating the consumer’s strong preference for SharkNinja’s innovative offerings. Additionally, we launched numerous products across new categories that have performed strongly out of the gate, driving further incremental sales growth. With strong customer and retail support behind existing and new products, we look forward to continued growth and expansion of the SharkNinja brand, as we combine powerful technology with great designs to bring innovative products to market that solve real consumer problems.”
Unaudited Operational Update
SharkNinja gross sales1 increased 11.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, when compared to the same period in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, gross sales increased by 14.9% year-over-year. Growth was largely attributable to new products launched during the quarter, as well as growth from international markets, such as in the UK, Europe, Japan and rest of the world.
Note, gross sales differ from the total revenue metric reported in the Company’s audited financial statements as gross sales do not take into account allowances for customer returns and promotional funding.

Gross sales refers to the gross amount invoiced to retailers, distributors, individual customers and other customers, but does not include amounts payable to a customer for variable considerations, including but not limited to, rights of return, and other discounts and allowances. Accordingly, gross sales does not represent the SharkNinja segment’s total revenue, yet JS Global considers gross sales to be one of the various business operational indicators of the SharkNinja segment.
