Sonos Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

Increases Midpoint of Fiscal 2022 Outlook and Remains On Track to Achieve Fiscal 2024 Targets

Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) today reported first quarter fiscal 2022 results.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights (unaudited)

  • Revenue increased 3% year-over-year to $664.5 million; on a constant-currency basis, revenue increased approximately 3.5% year-over-year
  • Gross margin increased 140 basis points to 47.8%
  • GAAP net income of $123.5 million compared to $132.3 million last year; non-GAAP net income excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring, and legal and transaction related fees of $144.8 million compared to $153.2 million last year
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.87 compared to $1.01 last year; non-GAAP diluted EPS excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring, and legal and transaction related fees of $1.02 compared to $1.17 last year
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $163.1 million compared to $166.3 million last year
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.6% compared to 25.8% last year
  • Cash flows from operating activities of $179.9 million
  • Free cash flow of $173.6 million

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

  • Revenue in the range of $1.95 billion to $2.0 billion, representing growth in the range of 14% to 16% from fiscal 2021
  • Gross margin in the range of 46% to 47%. Our fiscal 2022 gross margin outlook includes minimal net tariff impact
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $290 million to $325 million, representing growth in the range of 4% to 17%
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 14.9% to 16.2%

Fiscal 2024 Targets

  • Revenue of approximately $2.5 billion in fiscal 2024, representing a 13% CAGR based on the midpoint of the company’s fiscal 2022 guidance. This revenue target is ahead of the company’s prior fiscal 2024 target of $2.25 billion communicated at its March 2021 investor event
  • Gross margin in the range of 45% to 47%, consistent with the range communicated at its March 2021 investor event
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 15% to 18%, consistent with the range communicated at its March 2021 investor event

Sonos CEO Patrick Spence commented, “We are pleased to report that Sonos had another excellent quarter, with record-setting revenue of $664.5 million and a strong adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.6% even as we continued to invest in our business. Importantly, we believe that we would have sold much more but for chip shortages that constrained our supply, as demand was, and continues to be, strong. Our operations team has developed considerable resiliency and we are well-positioned to deliver on our fiscal 2022 outlook, so we have increased the midpoint of our guidance to reflect this.”

“Longer term, the opportunity for Sonos is tremendous. Our flywheel of new household generation and existing customer repurchase remains a powerful driver of growth. We have a terrific product roadmap ahead to delight existing customers and attract new ones. At a mere 2% market share of the $89 billion1 global audio market, with a brand that is gaining momentum every day, we believe we are well positioned to seize the future and deliver significant shareholder value over the long-term,” concluded Mr. Spence.

(1) Restructuring and related expenses for the three months ended January 2, 2021, include a gain of $2.8 million, related to our negotiation for the early termination of a facility lease that was part of the 2020 restructuring plan (as defined below). The gain represents the difference between the related operating lease liability and previously accrued restructuring expenses versus the early termination payment. For a description of the 2020 restructuring plan, see “Restructuring and Related Costs” below.

(2) Legal and transaction related costs consist of expenses related to our intellectual property ("IP") litigation against Alphabet Inc. and Google LLC as well as legal and transaction costs associated with our acquisition activity, which we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance.

(1) On June 23, 2020, we initiated a restructuring plan as part of our efforts to reduce operating expenses and preserve liquidity due to the uncertainty and challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic (the “2020 restructuring plan”). As part of the 2020 restructuring plan, we eliminated approximately 12% of our global headcount and closed our New York retail store and six satellite offices. We believe these initiatives better aligned our resources to provide further operating flexibility and more efficiently position our business for our long-term strategy. Activities under the 2020 restructuring plan were substantially completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we negotiated the early termination of a facility lease that was part of the 2020 restructuring and recorded a gain of $2.8 million, representing the difference between the related operating lease liability and previously accrued restructuring expenses versus the early termination payment. The gain was recognized as a credit in sales and marketing expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We have provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring, and legal and transaction related fees, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring, and legal and transaction related fees. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that we exclude in these non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP financial equivalents provided in the financial statement tables above. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, interest income, interest expense, other income (expense), income taxes and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define free cash flow as net cash from operations less purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets. We calculate non-GAAP net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring, and legal and transaction related fees as net income (loss) less stock-based compensation, restructuring fees and legal and transaction related fees. We calculate non-GAAP diluted EPS excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring, and legal and transaction related fees as net income less stock-based compensation, restructuring costs and legal and transaction related fees divided by our number of shares at fiscal year end. We calculate constant currency growth percentages by translating our prior period financial results using the current period average currency exchange rates and comparing these amounts to our current period reported results. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because we cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to unavailability of information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, we do so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis as that would require estimates for items such as stock-based compensation, which is inherently difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy. Stock-based compensation expense is difficult to estimate because it depends on our future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. In addition, for purposes of setting annual guidance, it would be difficult to quantify stock-based compensation expense for the year with reasonable accuracy in the current quarter. As a result, we do not believe that a GAAP reconciliation would provide meaningful supplemental information about our outlook.
