Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Company has elected to use extended transition periods available to EGC companies for complying with new or revised accounting standards. These accounting policies have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Non-Controlling Interest

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiary, Brilliant Earth, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The assets and liabilities of Brilliant Earth, LLC represent substantially all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. has not had any material operations on a standalone basis since its inception, and all of the operations of the Company are carried out by Brilliant Earth, LLC.

The non-controlling interest on the consolidated statements of operations represents the portion of income or loss attributable to the economic interest in Brilliant Earth, LLC. The non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheets represent the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the owners of the common units of Brilliant Earth, LLC (“LLC Interests” or “LLC Units”). The non-controlling interest was 84.6% and 86.0% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At the end of each reporting period, equity related to Brilliant Earth, LLC that is attributable to Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. and the owners of the LLC Interests (the “Continuing Equity Owners'”) is rebalanced to reflect Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.'s and the Continuing Equity Owners' ownership in Brilliant Earth, LLC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Some of the more significant estimates include inventory valuation, allowance for sales returns, estimates of current and deferred income taxes payable pursuant to the tax receivable agreement, and useful lives and depreciation of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates to ensure that they appropriately reflect changes in its business or new information available.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP prescribes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs that are derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.

The Company is required to disclose its estimate of the fair value of material financial instruments, including those recorded as assets or liabilities in its financial statements, in accordance with GAAP.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no financial instruments (assets or liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

Concentration of Risk

The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major financial institutions within the U.S. in the form of demand deposits, money market fund accounts, and time deposits. Deposits in these institutions may exceed the amounts of insurance provided, or deposits may not be covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company’s ability to procure diamonds, gemstones and to produce jewelry is dependent on its relationships with various suppliers. No individual supplier accounted for more than 10% of total inventory purchases during the year ended December 31, 2025. One supplier of jewelry accounted for a total of 11% of inventory purchases during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, money market fund accounts, and deposits in transit from banks for payments related to third-party credit and debit card transactions are considered to be cash equivalents. Credit and debit card transactions are short-term and highly liquid in nature. Interest income is recorded for interest-bearing cash accounts and is included within other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized interest income of $3.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, money market fund accounts included in cash equivalents was $33.9 million and $71.6 million, respectively, and classified as Level 1 financial instruments.

Restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 relates to funds to secure letters of credit in lieu of security deposits related to leases at the Company’s showroom locations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash from the consolidated balance sheets to the statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2025		2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	79,089	$	161,925
Restricted cash	349		216
Total	$	79,438	$	162,141

Inventories, Net

The Company’s diamond, gemstone and jewelry inventories are primarily held for resale and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is primarily determined using the moving average cost method on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis for all inventories, except for unique inventory SKUs (principally independently graded diamonds), where cost is determined using specific identification. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.

Inventory reserves are recorded for obsolete, slow-moving or defective items and shrinkage. Inventory reserves are calculated as the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated market value based on factors such as current and anticipated demand, customer preferences and fashion trends, management strategy and market conditions. Due to the Company’s inventory principally consisting of diamonds, gemstones and fine jewelry, the age of the inventories has limited impact on the estimated market value. The Company’s diamonds and gemstones do not degrade in quality over time and diamond and gemstone inventory generally consists of the diamond and gemstone shapes and sizes commonly used in the jewelry industry. Product obsolescence is closely monitored and reviewed by management on an ongoing basis.

Property and Equipment, Capitalized Software and Website Development

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Construction in progress primarily includes costs related to new showroom construction and is stated at original cost. Depreciation is recorded when the relevant assets are placed into service. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and the related gain or loss is reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Estimated useful lives by major asset category are as follows:


Asset			Life (in years)
Computer equipment			3
Equipment			5 - 7
Furniture and fixtures			7
Software and website			3
Leasehold improvements			Shorter of lease term or 10 years

The Company capitalizes costs of initial development of internal-use software and its website and amortizes such costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years, once it is available for use. Costs related to the ongoing maintenance of internal-use software and the website are expensed as incurred.

Cloud Computing Implementation Costs

Cloud computing implementation costs incurred for implementation, setup, and other upfront activities in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract are capitalized during the application development stage until the software is ready for its intended use and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they will result in additional functionality. Amortization of capitalized costs is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated hosting arrangement, inclusive of certain renewal periods.

The Company's capitalized implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements, net consisted of the following (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2025		2024
Capitalized implementation costs	$	5,800	$	3,819
Less: accumulated amortization	(2,433)		(1,663)
Cloud computing arrangements, net	$	3,367	$	2,156

These cloud computing arrangements were primarily related to the implementation of ecommerce software and a cloud-based data management platform, among other software implementations. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded amortization expense related to these implementation costs of $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Impairment Tests for Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and right of use (“ROU”) assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the assets, less estimated future cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized. No impairment losses have been recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as no events or changes in circumstance have been identified that would indicate the carrying value of long-lived assets is not recoverable.

Leases

The Company leases its executive offices, retail showrooms, office and operational locations under operating leases. The fixed, non-cancelable terms of our real estate leases are generally 5-10 years. Certain lease agreements include options to renew or terminate the lease, which are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into the determination of lease payments. Most of the real estate leases require payment of real estate taxes, insurance and certain common area maintenance costs in addition to future minimum lease payments.

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception of a contract, and leases are classified at commencement as either operating or finance leases. For operating leases, the Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company does not have any finance leases.

The lease liability is determined as the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As the rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate that is estimated to approximate the interest rate the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments in an economic environment similar to where the leased asset is located. The ROU asset is recorded as the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at the lease commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred, less any tenant improvement allowance incentives received. Tenant incentives are amortized through the ROU asset as a reduction of lease expense over the lease term. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

The Company utilizes certain practical expedients and policy elections available under GAAP. The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for any lease with a term of twelve months or less and the Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all existing classes of assets.

Operating lease expenses for fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments to the lessor such as maintenance, utilities, insurance, and real estate taxes are expensed as incurred.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs that are direct and incremental to debt issuance are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the debt. All other costs related to debt issuance are expensed as incurred. The Company presents debt issuance costs associated with long-term debt as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt. Unamortized costs related to the SVB Revolving Credit Facility are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

If the terms of a financing obligation are amended and accounted for as a debt modification by the Company, fees incurred directly with the lending institution are capitalized and amortized over the remaining contractual term using the effective interest method. Fees incurred with other parties are expensed as incurred. If the Company determines that there has been a substantial modification of a financing obligation, previously capitalized debt issuance costs are expensed and included in loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8, Debt, for further discussion.

Revenue Recognition

Overview

Net sales primarily consist of revenue from diamond, gemstone and jewelry retail sales and payment is required in full prior to order fulfillment. Delivery is determined to be the time of pickup for orders picked up in showrooms, and for shipped orders, typically within one to two business days after shipment. Credit is not extended to customers except through third-party credit cards or financing offerings. A return policy of 30 days from when the item is picked up or ready for shipment is typically provided; one complimentary resizing for standard ring styles is offered within 60 days of when an order is available for shipment or pickup, regardless of sizing range, and within 1 year within sizing range; a lifetime manufacturing warranty is provided on all jewelry, with the exception of estate and vintage jewelry and center diamonds/gemstones; and a lifetime diamond upgrade program is included on all independently graded natural diamonds. The complimentary resizing, lifetime manufacturing warranty claims and lifetime diamond upgrades have not historically been material. An extended protection plan is offered through a third party that has different terms ranging from 2 years to lifetime that vary based on the item purchased.

The following table discloses total net sales by geography for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2025		2024
United States	$	421,966	$	406,208
International	15,517		15,953
Total net sales	$	437,483	$	422,161

Revenue from customers is recognized as control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, which occurs upon delivery if the order is shipped, or at the time the customer picks up the completed product at a showroom. Customer payment is completed prior to order fulfillment; therefore, a significant financing component does not exist.

Revenue arrangements generally have one performance obligation and are reported net of estimated sales returns and allowances, which are determined based on historical product return rates and current economic conditions. The Company offers certain sales promotions such as a free gift that is delivered to or picked up by the customer if the purchase price of a product is over a certain dollar threshold. For these sales promotions, the free gift is delivered or picked up by the customer with the associated purchased product. Control of the product purchase and the free gift transfers at the same time and, therefore no deferral of revenue is required. The Company also offers an extended protection plan in the capacity of an agent on behalf of a third party that has different terms ranging from two years to lifetime that vary based on the item purchased. The commission that the Company receives from the third party is recognized at the time of sale less an estimate of cancellations based on historical experience. There are no additional performance obligations in relation to the third-party plan.

Sales taxes are collected and remitted to taxing authorities, and the Company has elected to exclude sales taxes from recognized revenues.

Contract Balances

Transactions where payment has been received from customers, but control has not transferred, are recorded as customer deposits in deferred revenue and revenue recognition is deferred until delivery has occurred. As of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, total deferred revenue that includes our contract balances was $22.7 million, $18.9 million, and $19.6 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $18.5 million and $19.1 million, respectively, of revenue that was deferred as of the last day of the respective prior year.

Sales Returns and Allowances

A returns asset account and a refund liabilities account are maintained to record the effects of estimated product returns and sales returns allowance. Returns asset and refund liabilities are updated at the end of each financial reporting period and the effect of such changes are accounted for in the period in which such changes occur.

The Company estimates anticipated product returns in the form of a refund liability based on historical return percentages and current period sales levels, and accrues a related returns asset for goods expected to be returned in salable condition less any expected costs to recover such goods, including return shipping costs that the Company may incur.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, refund liabilities balances were $3.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and are included as a provision for sales returns and allowances within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6, Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities, for further discussion.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, returns asset balances were $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fulfillment Costs

The Company generally does not bill customers separately for shipping and handling charges. Fulfillment costs incurred by the Company when shipping to customers is reflected in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

Consignment Inventory Sales

Sales of consignment inventory are presented on a gross sales basis as control of the merchandise is maintained through the point of sale. The Company also provides independent advice, guidance and after-sales service to customers. Consigned products are selected at the discretion of the Company, and the determination of the selling price as well as responsibility of the physical security of the products is maintained by the Company. The products sold from consignment inventory are similar in nature to other products that the Company sells to customers and are sold on the same terms.

Cost of Sales

The Company purchases diamonds and gemstones from suppliers and utilizes third-party manufacturing suppliers for the production and assembly of substantially all jewelry sold by the Company. Cost of sales primarily includes merchandise costs, inbound freight charges, costs of shipping orders to customers, repair costs and related labor expenses, costs and reserves for disposal of obsolete, slow-moving or defective items and shrinkage.

Operating Expenses

Marketing and advertising expenses are generally expensed as incurred, except for certain production costs that are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. The Company may also enter into marketing service agreements with third parties where the Company prepays for certain services and recognizes the expense over the service agreement period.

General and administrative expenses consist of employee-related costs such as payroll and related benefit costs for the Company’s employees, including equity-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses also consist of information technology and other software related costs, certain facility-related costs, depreciation and amortization expense, merchant processing fees, customer service, as well as professional fees and other general corporate expenses.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included within other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, losses from foreign currency transactions were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation is accounted for as an expense under the fair value recognition and measurement provisions of GAAP which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of equity-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period. The Company uses the straight-line method to amortize all stock awards granted over the requisite service period of the award. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur, and any compensation expense previously recognized on unvested equity-based awards will be reversed when forfeited.

The fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is based on the fair value of the Class A common stock at the time of grant. No other equity-based compensation awards were granted during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Distributions to Members

The Brilliant Earth LLC Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) provides for the distribution of cash in defined amounts sufficient to fund member income tax liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of Brilliant Earth, LLC assessed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company accounts for its income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change.

Uncertainty in income taxes is accounted for using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company would recognize penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the income tax line item within the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no uncertain tax positions have been recorded. The Company will continue to monitor this position each interim period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and allows for prospective or retrospective adoption. The Company adopted the new guidance for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the retrospective method and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements but resulted in additional disclosures. See Note 11, Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement, for further discussion.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories related to cost of sales and operating expenses in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but will require increased disclosures within the notes to our financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2025

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income applicable to Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. by the weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding (and Class D common stock, if outstanding) during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the net (loss) income available to Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. and the weighted average shares outstanding to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Shares of Class B and Class C common stock are not entitled to receive any distributions or dividends and are therefore excluded from this presentation since they are not participating securities.

Basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, have been computed as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	December 31,
	2025		2024
Numerator:
Net (loss) income attributable to Brilliant Earth Group, Inc., BASIC	$	(3,635)	$	541
Add: Net income impact from assumed redemption of all LLC Units to common stock	—		3,453
Less: Income tax expense on net income attributable to NCI	—		(878)
Net (loss) income attributable to Brilliant Earth Group, Inc., after adjustment for assumed conversion, DILUTED	$	(3,635)	$	3,116

Denominator:
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, BASIC	14,752,634		13,304,227
Dilutive effects of:
Vested LLC Units that are exchangeable for common stock	—		84,884,486
Unvested LLC Units that are exchangeable for common stock	—		43,953
RSUs	—		120,258
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, DILUTED	14,752,634		98,352,924

BASIC earnings per share	$	(0.25)	$	0.04
DILUTED earnings per share	$	(0.25)	$	0.03

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net income attributable to the non-controlling interest is added back to net income in the fully dilutive computation and has been adjusted for income taxes which would have been expensed had the income been recognized by Brilliant Earth Group, Inc., a taxable entity. The weighted average common shares outstanding in the diluted computation per share assumes all outstanding LLC Units are converted, and the Company will elect to issue shares of common stock upon redemption rather than cash-settle.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the dilutive earnings per share calculation excludes the loss impact from assumed redemption of all LLC Units and any income tax impact on the net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest since the Company is in a net loss position and these adjustments would be antidilutive.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the dilutive impact of vested LLC Units convertible into common stock were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method; except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive impact of unvested LLC Units and RSUs were included using the treasury stock method, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following table presents the securities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, that have been excluded from the computation of earnings per share because such impact would have been anti-dilutive:


	December 31,
	2025	2024
Vested LLC Units	84,949,017	—
RSUs	3,946,584	3,701,131
Stock options	664,686	709,147
Unvested LLC units	4,734	—

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Overview

The 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was adopted to attract, retain, and motivate selected employees, consultants, and directors through the granting of equity-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards. The compensation committee or its approved designees administer the 2021 Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, the administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the number of shares to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2021 Plan.

As of December 31, 2025 we have reserved 13,285,276 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to a variety of equity-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, and other equity-based awards under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance or transfer pursuant to awards under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan is increased by an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of stock as determined by the Board; provided, however, that no more than 81,929,342 shares of stock may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options. As of December 31, 2025, 4,066,195 shares of common stock are available for future grants under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan. Vesting is subject to certain change in control provisions as provided in the

award agreements.

The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”) permits the Company to offer employees the right to purchase Class A common stock at a discount through after-tax payroll contributions. As of December 31, 2025, 1,847,197 shares of Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance or transfer pursuant to awards under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is increased by an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of stock as determined by the Board. No offerings have commenced under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Grants of Restricted Stock Units

The fair value of RSUs are based on the fair value of a Class A share of common stock at the time of grant. RSUs have a time-based vesting requirement (based on continuous employment). Upon vesting, the RSUs convert into Class A common stock; unvested RSUs are not considered outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The agreements generally provide for 25% vesting at the first anniversary of the date of the grant (or a shorter period at the administrator’s discretion), with the remainder vesting quarterly over the following three years.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2025:


	Number of Restricted Stock Units	Weighted average grant date fair value per unit








Balance as of December 31, 2023, unvested	3,942,052	$	6.10
Granted	2,075,931	$	2.77
Vested	(1,587,519)	$	6.28
Forfeited	(582,828)	$	5.71
Balance as of December 31, 2024, unvested	3,847,636	$	4.29
Granted	1,824,994	$	1.60
Vested	(1,943,303)	$	4.89
Forfeited	(117,860)	$	4.09
Balance as of December 31, 2025, unvested	3,611,467	$	2.62

The total fair value of RSUs vested for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $9.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

Total compensation expense for RSUs was approximately $8.7 million and $9.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized $0.1 million of tax benefit associated with the equity-based compensation expense for RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $0.1 million of tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, total compensation expense related to unvested RSUs not yet recognized was $8.0 million and the weighted-average period over which the compensation is expected to be recognized was 1.9 years.

Stock Options

Stock option awards have a time-based vesting requirement that is based on continuous employment. Upon vesting, the stock options are exercisable into Class A common stock. Vesting is generally over four years from the date of grant and options may be exercised up to 10 years from the date of issuance.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the outstanding and exercisable stock options:


	Number of options	Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average grant date fair value per option		Weighted average remaining contractual term (years)
Outstanding as of December 31, 2024	665,905	$	12.00	$	4.27	6.7
Forfeited	(9,084)	$	12.00	$	4.29
Outstanding as of December 31, 2025	656,821	$	12.00	$	4.27	5.7

Vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2025	656,821	$	12.00	$	4.27	5.7

As of December 31, 2025, the vested stock options did not have an aggregated intrinsic value as the exercise price exceeded the estimated fair market value of the stock options.

Total compensation expense for stock options was approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. No tax benefit was associated with the equity-based compensation expense for stock options.

As of December 31, 2025, there was no remaining compensation expense as all the outstanding stock options had fully vested.

LLC Units

The fair value of restricted LLC Units was based on the fair value of an unrestricted LLC Unit at the date of grant. The following table summarizes the activity related to the unvested LLC Units:


	Number of LLC Units	Weighted average grant date fair value per unit

















Balance, December 31, 2024, unvested	24,903	$	1.50

Vested	(24,903)	$	1.50
Balance, December 31, 2025, unvested	—	$	—

Total compensation expense for LLC Units was less than $0.1 million and approximately $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2025, there was no remaining compensation expense as all the outstanding LLC Units had fully vested.

Unvested LLC Units		—	24,903
Unvested RSUs		3,611,467	3,847,636
Stock options		656,821	665,905

Common LLC Units		84,942,318	84,940,888	No	Yes

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized to direct the Company to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and the discretion to determine the number and designation of such series and the powers, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. Through December 31, 2025, no series of preferred stock have been issued.

Shares of Class B and Class C common stock are not entitled to receive any distributions or dividends other than in connection with a liquidation and have no rights to convert into Class A common stock or Class D common stock, separate from an exchange or redemption of the LLC Interests corresponding to such shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable, as discussed below under Brilliant Earth, LLC. When a common unit is redeemed for cash or Class A or D common stock by a Continuing Equity Owner who holds shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, such Continuing Equity Owner will be required to surrender a share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable, which will be cancelled for no consideration.

The Company must, at all times, maintain (i) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A common stock issued to Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. and the number of LLC Interests owned by Brilliant Earth Group, Inc., and (ii) maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class B and Class C common stock owned by the Continuing Equity Owners and the number of LLC Interests owned by them.

Class C and D common stock may only be held by the Founders and their respective permitted transferees. No shares of Class D common stock are outstanding but may be issued in connection with an exchange by the Founders of their LLC Interests (along with an equal number of shares of Class C common stock and such shares shall be immediately cancelled).

Brilliant Earth, LLC

As of December 31, 2025, Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. holds a 15.4% economic interest in Brilliant Earth, LLC through its ownership of 15,518,024 LLC Units, and consolidates Brilliant Earth, LLC as sole managing member. The remaining 84,942,318 LLC units representing an 84.6% interest are held by the Continuing Equity Owners and presented in the consolidated financial statements as a non-controlling interest.

The organization agreements include a provision for the Continuing Equity Owners, subject to certain exceptions from time to time at each of their option, to require Brilliant Earth, LLC to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units in exchange for, at the Company’s election, newly-issued shares of Class A common stock or Class D common stock, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis or, at the Company's election, a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each LLC Interest so redeemed, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement. The redemption feature is not bifurcated from the underlying LLC Unit.

Issuance of Additional LLC Units

Under the LLC Agreement, the Company is required to cause Brilliant Earth, LLC to issue additional LLC Interests to the Company when the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock. Other than as it relates to the issuance of Class A common stock in connection with an equity incentive program, the Company must contribute to Brilliant Earth, LLC net proceeds and property, if any, received by the Company with respect to the issuance of such additional shares of Class A common stock. The Company must cause Brilliant Earth, LLC to issue a number of LLC Interests equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued such that, at all times, the number of LLC Interests held by the Company equals the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

Cash Dividends

In August 2025, our Board declared a one-time cash dividend of $0.25 per share to holders of our Class A common stock and holders of common units of Brilliant Earth, LLC, respectively. The distribution from Brilliant Earth, LLC totaled approximately $25.0 million, of which a pro rata portion was used by us to fund the dividend. Payment of the dividend was made on September 8, 2025 to holders of record of our Class A common stock as of the close of business on August 22, 2025. Approximately $21.2 million was paid to holders of common units of Brilliant Earth, LLC and approximately $3.8 million was paid to holders of the Company's Class A common stock.

Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board, subject to the requirements of applicable law, compliance with contractual restrictions and covenants in the agreements governing our current and future indebtedness. Any such determination will also depend upon the Company's business prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, industry trends, and other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

Distributions to Members Related to Their Income Tax Liabilities

As a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, Brilliant Earth, LLC does not incur significant federal, state or local income taxes, as these taxes are primarily the obligations of its members. Under the LLC Agreement, Brilliant Earth, LLC is required to distribute cash, to the extent that Brilliant Earth, LLC has cash available, on a pro rata basis to its members to the extent necessary to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to each member’s share of Brilliant Earth, LLC taxable earnings. Brilliant Earth, LLC makes such tax distributions to its members quarterly, based on an estimated tax rate and projected year-to-date taxable income, with a final accounting once actual taxable income or loss has been determined. Such distributions totaled approximately $6.8 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Repurchase Program

In December 2023, the Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of the Company's Class A common stock through the expiration of the program in December 2026.

The Company may repurchase shares, under the program, from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities law, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The timing, amount, and manner of stock repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion, subject to business, economic and market conditions, corporate needs and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices and other considerations. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific number of shares of Class A common stock and may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time without notice, at the discretion of the Board.

Repurchases of equity are accounted for as treasury stock and reported at the purchase price as a reduction of equity within the consolidated balance sheet.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject from time to time to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes or claims. In addition, the Company is subject to examination by various tax authorities. Although the Company cannot predict with assurance the outcome of any litigation or audit, it does not believe there are currently any such actions that, if resolved unfavorably, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better

estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability. The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that, in its judgment, are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable; however, to the extent possible, the Company discloses the range of such reasonably possible losses.

On December 5, 2022, plaintiff Veronica Cusimano, a former employee of the Company, filed a representative action against the Company pursuant to the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 in California Superior Court, Los Angeles County. The complaint alleges, on behalf of the plaintiff and similarly situated employees and former employees in California, various claims under the California Labor Code related to wages, overtime, meal and rest breaks, reimbursement of business expenses, wage statements and records, and other similar allegations. The plaintiff seeks civil penalties, attorneys' fees and costs in unspecified amounts, and other unspecified damages. On February 10, 2023, the Company filed a petition to compel arbitration on the basis of an agreement between the plaintiff and the Company to arbitrate any claims between them. On April 28, 2023, the petition was denied. On May 9, 2023, the Company appealed the Superior Court's denial of its petition to compel arbitration to the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District. On February 24, 2025, the Court of Appeal affirmed the Superior Court’s ruling. The Company intends to vigorously defend the alleged individual and representative claims, and, at this time, any liability is not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Non-Income Related Taxes

The Company collects and remits sales and use taxes in a variety of jurisdictions across the U.S. The amounts payable to relevant sales and use tax authorities are accrued in the period incurred and presented on the balance sheet as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Purchase Obligations

From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company will enter into agreements with suppliers or service providers that exceed 12 months. As of December 31, 2025, unconditional future minimum payments under agreements to purchase services primarily related to information technology and software, as well as marketing and advertising spending. The aggregate value of purchases from these suppliers or service providers totaled $5.0 million and $4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The amounts in the table below represent the Company's unconditional future minimum commitments with a remaining term in excess of 12 months as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands):



Years ending December 31,
2026	$	2,067
2027	878

Total	$	2,945

Capital Commitments

The Company may enter into commitments to expand various locations, which generally include design, store construction and improvements. As of December 31, 2025, these commitments totaled $0.8 million, related to new showroom construction and improvements to existing locations.

401(K) Plan

The Company maintains a qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides for voluntary contributions from the Company and its employees and certain other service providers. Contributions from the Company were $2.0 million and $1.7 million, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

SVB Credit Agreement

On May 24, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Brilliant Earth, LLC, as borrower, and SVB, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders, entered into a credit agreement (the “SVB Credit Agreement”) which provided for a secured term loan credit facility of $65.0 million (the “SVB Term Loan”) and a secured revolving credit facility in an amount of up to $40.0 million (the “SVB Revolving Facility”, and together with the SVB Term Loan, the “SVB Credit Facilities”).

The SVB Credit Facilities were used to refinance existing indebtedness, pay related fees and expenses, and were to be used from and after the Closing Date for working capital and general corporate purposes. The SVB Credit Facilities were set to mature on May 24, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”).

The SVB Credit Facilities were secured by substantially all assets of Brilliant Earth, LLC and any of its future material subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Brilliant Earth, LLC’s future material subsidiaries (subject to certain customary exceptions) were to guarantee repayment of the SVB Credit Facilities. Borrowings under the SVB Credit Facilities bore interest at either (a) a secured overnight financing rate plus an annual adjustment of 0.125%, plus an applicable margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, depending on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (defined below), or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, depending on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, each subject to a 0.00% floor. In addition, Brilliant Earth, LLC had agreed to pay a commitment fee on the first day of each quarter on the unused amount of the SVB Revolving Credit Facility, equal to 0.25% to 0.35% per annum depending on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. The Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was defined as the ratio, as of the last day of any four fiscal quarter period, of (a) Consolidated Total Indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to (b) the Consolidated EBITDA for such period (each term as further defined in the SVB Credit Agreement).

The SVB Term Loan was required to be repaid on the last day of each calendar quarter (commencing on September 30, 2022), in an amount equal to 1.25% per quarter through June 30, 2024, 1.875% per quarter from September 30, 2024 through June 30, 2025, and 2.50% per quarter thereafter, with the balance payable on the Maturity Date. The SVB Term Loan was also subject to certain mandatory prepayment requirements in connection with asset sales, casualty events and debt incurrence, subject to customary exceptions.

The SVB Credit Facilities were subject to customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants as well as financial maintenance covenants. The financial covenants were tested at the end of each fiscal quarter and required that (a) the Company and its subsidiaries not have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (defined as the ratio of (i) Consolidated EBITDA, less cash taxes (including tax distributions), less certain capital expenditures, less cash dividends and other cash restricted payments, to (ii) the sum of cash interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding debt (in each case, as further defined in the SVB Credit Agreement)) of less than 1.25 to 1.00, (b) the Company and its subsidiaries not have a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of more than 4.00 to 1.00,

and (c) Brilliant Earth, LLC and its subsidiaries not have a Consolidated Borrower Leverage Ratio (defined substantially similar as Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, but limited to Brilliant Earth, LLC and its subsidiaries) in excess of 3.00 to 1.00 (which level is subject to temporary increases to 4.00 to 1.00 in connection with certain acquisitions).

In February 2024, we entered into the First Amendment to the SVB Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), pursuant to which the lenders agreed to suspend the requirement to comply with the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant on the last day of the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024. The First Amendment also required us to maintain Balance Sheet Cash (defined as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held in accounts with the lenders and their affiliates ) in an amount greater than the sum of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the SVB Revolving Facility (including issued letters of credit) and the aggregate principal amount of the SVB Term Loan outstanding at such time, which requirement applied at all times commencing on February 21, 2024 until the last day of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024. After such time, the minimum Balance Sheet Cash covenant no longer applied.

In May 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the SVB Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), pursuant to which the lenders agreed to suspend the requirement to comply with the (i) Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant for the period ended March 31, 2025 through and including the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026 and (ii) the Consolidated Borrower Leverage Ratio covenant for the period ended March 31, 2025. In addition, the Second Amendment increased the interest rate margin applicable to the SVB Revolving Facility and Term Loan by 10 basis points for the period commencing on the effective date of the Second Amendment through (but not including) April 1, 2026. Borrowings under the SVB Credit Facilities bore interest at either (a) a secured overnight financing rate plus an annual adjustment of 0.125%, plus an applicable margin of 2.35% to 2.85%, depending on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.35% to 1.85%, depending on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, each subject to a 0.00% floor.

The Second Amendment also required us to maintain Balance Sheet Cash (defined as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held in accounts with the Lenders and their affiliates) in an amount greater than one and one half (1.5) times the sum of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the SVB Revolving Facility (including issued letters of credit) and the aggregate principal amount of the SVB Term Loan outstanding at such time, which requirement applies at all times commencing on the effective date of the Second Amendment until the last day of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026. After such time, the minimum Balance Sheet Cash covenant no longer applied.

In May 2025, the Company made principal payments totaling $20 million on the SVB Term Loan. No additional principal payments were required until the Maturity Date.

In August 2025, the Company prepaid all principal amounts outstanding of $34.8 million under the SVB Term Loan and terminated all commitments outstanding under the SVB Credit Agreement. As a result of the prepayment, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.6 million associated with the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

As a result of the prepayment of all principal amounts outstanding under the SVB Term Loan, and termination of all commitments outstanding under the SVB Credit Agreement, the Company is no longer required to be in compliance with any covenants under the SVB Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025.

The Company's effective interest rate on debt was 8.18% and 8.56%, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest expense was $2.1 million and $4.7 million; and amortization of deferred issuance costs was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

INCOME TAXES AND TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES AND TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT

Overview of Income Taxes

Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. is taxed as a subchapter C corporation and is subject to federal and state income taxes. Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.'s sole material asset is its ownership interest in Brilliant Earth, LLC, which is a limited liability company that is taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal and certain state and local income tax purposes. Brilliant Earth, LLC’s net taxable income or loss and related tax credits, if any, are passed through to its members on

a pro-rata basis and included in the member’s tax returns. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the non-controlling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its consolidated financial statements under GAAP.

The Company files U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities for various time periods, depending on those jurisdictions’ rules, generally after the income tax returns are filed.

The Company did not pay or receive any material federal or state income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Deferred Tax Asset and Income Tax Expense

The Company had recorded a deferred tax asset primarily related to the outside basis difference between GAAP and reporting for income tax purposes of the Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.’s investment in Brilliant Earth, LLC. The basis difference resulted from the step-up in basis allowed under Section 743(b) and 197 of the Internal Revenue Code related to the purchase of LLC Units from the Continuing Equity Owners. The deferred tax asset was expected to be amortized over the useful lives of the underlying assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets during the year ended December 31, 2025, management determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Provision for Income Taxes

Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.'s income tax expense was $9.6 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. had no business transactions or activities, and accordingly, no amounts related to income taxes were incurred by the Company.

Total Company earnings are earned in the United States and used to compute income taxes as follows (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2025		2024
Pre-tax earnings of the Company	$	3,241	$	4,154
Loss (earnings) allocable to NCI (not allocable to the Company)	2,765		(3,453)

The Company adopted new income tax disclosure guidance for the year ended December 31, 2025, which required disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation. The Company has elected to apply the amendments retrospectively to the prior year presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, certain prior-year amounts in the rate reconciliation have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The reconciliation of the expected federal statutory rate of 21.0% to the effective rate is as follows (in thousands):


			December 31,
	2025			2024
	Tax effect		Rate	Tax effect		Rate
Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. expected tax expense at statutory rate	$	(681)	21.0%	$	(872)	21.0%
State & local income taxes, net of federal income tax effect(1)	(1,674)		51.7%	(244)		5.9%

Other	11		(0.3)%	56		(1.3)%
Effective income tax expense and rate	$	(9,641)	297.5%	$	(160)	3.9%

(1) The states that contribute to the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category include California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York.

The components of deferred tax assets are as follows (in thousands):


	December 31,
	2025		2024
Deferred tax assets
Outside basis difference in investment	$	4,149	$	8,386
Net operating loss carryforwards	1,741		1,250
Total gross deferred tax assets	5,890		9,636
Valuation allowance	(5,890)		—
Net deferred tax asset	$	—	$	9,636

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes, based on available evidence, that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent results of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a three-year cumulative loss position and determined that it would not be able to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize its deferred tax assets. Based on this negative evidence, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized, and accordingly, recorded a full valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the likelihood it would realize its deferred tax assets and determined the probability to be more likely than not, and accordingly, no valuation allowance was recognized.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has total federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $6.9 million that have no expiration date. The Company also has total state NOLs of $6.9 million that begin to expire in 2036. Management believes on a more likely than not basis that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit of its NOLs carryforwards.

Utilization of net operating losses, credit carryforwards, and certain deductions may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The tax benefits related to future utilization of federal and state net operating losses, tax credit carryforwards, and other deferred tax assets may be limited or lost if cumulative changes in ownership exceeds 50% within any three-year period. Additional limitations on the use of these tax attributes could occur in the event of possible disputes arising in examinations from various taxing authorities.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company follows the provisions of GAAP relating to uncertainty in income taxes as it prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in financial statements of uncertain tax positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. No liability related to uncertain tax positions is recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not incurred or recorded any penalties or interest related to income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company did not record any uncertain tax positions on the consolidated balance sheets as management concluded that no such positions existed as of December 31, 2025.

The Company is subject to examination for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022. The Company is not currently subject to income tax audits in any U.S. or state jurisdictions for any tax year.

Tax Receivable Agreement

As each of the Continuing Equity Owners elect to convert their LLC Interests into Class A common stock or Class D common stock, as applicable, Brilliant Earth Group, Inc. will succeed to their aggregate historical tax basis which will create a net tax benefit to the Company. These tax benefits are expected to be amortized over 15 years pursuant to Sections 743(b) and 197 of the Code. The Company will only recognize a deferred tax asset for financial reporting purposes when it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will be realized.

In addition, as part of the IPO, the Company entered into a TRA with the Continuing Equity Owners to pay 85% of the tax savings from the tax basis adjustment to them as such savings are realized. Amounts payable under the TRA are contingent upon, among other things, generation of sufficient future taxable income during the term of the TRA. The amounts to be recorded for both the deferred tax assets and the liability for our obligations under the TRA will be estimated at the time of any purchase or redemption as a reduction to shareholders’ equity. The effect of subsequent changes in enacted tax rates will be included in net income. In connection with the Company concluding it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized and a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets was required, it was also determined a TRA liability was not probable at the current time. As a result, the Company reduced the TRA liability to zero and recognized a gain on TRA liability adjustment of $7.8 million in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

In July, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”) was enacted into law. Among other provisions, the Act includes permanently extending and modifying certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenses. The impacts of these provisions did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or annual effective tax rate for 2025. However, we will continue to evaluate the effects of the Act on our consolidated financial statements and annual effective tax rate in the future.
