Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) today reported third quarter fiscal
2022 results.
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights (unaudited)
- Revenue decreased 1.8% year-over-year to $371.8 million; on a
constant-currency basis, revenue increased approximately 2.2%
year-over-year
- Gross margin increased 30 basis points year-over-year to
47.3%
- GAAP net loss of $0.6 million compared to GAAP net income of
$17.8 million last year; non-GAAP net income excluding stock-based
compensation and legal and transaction related fees of $25.6
million compared to $38.7 million last year
- GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.00 compared to
$0.12 last year; non-GAAP diluted EPS excluding stock-based
compensation and legal and transaction related fees of $0.19
compared to $0.27 last year
- Adjusted EBITDA of $42.1 million compared to $46.7 million last
year
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.3% compared to 12.3% last
year
- Cash flows used in operating activities of $6.7 million
- Free cash flow of ($16.0) million
Sonos CEO Patrick Spence commented, “We have seen the
macroeconomic backdrop become significantly more challenging for us
starting in June as the dollar’s appreciation and high inflation
have adversely affected consumer sentiment globally, particularly
in the categories in which we play. As a result, revenue missed our
expectations for Q3 and we are adjusting our FY22 outlook
accordingly.”
Spence continued, “Although we cannot predict when macroeconomic
conditions will normalize, we remain confident that, when they do,
we will return to double-digit revenue growth. We base this on our
category leadership position, our flywheel of new and existing
customer repurchases and robust product roadmap. We expect to
weather the current environment while operating from a position of
strength: we are profitable, we are debt free, and we have a huge
market opportunity. We are tightly focused on expenses while
prudently and deliberately investing in a number of products and
initiatives in new and existing categories that we believe
customers will love and will drive our long-term success.”
Sonos today separately announced that Brittany Bagley, the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), is stepping down to pursue
another professional opportunity. Eddie Lazarus, the Company’s
Chief Legal Officer (CLO) will succeed Ms. Bagley as interim CFO
effective Sept. 1, 2022.
Fiscal 2022 Outlook
- Revenue in the range of $1.730 billion to $1.755 billion,
representing growth of 1% to 2% from fiscal 2021, or growth of 4%
to 5% on a constant currency basis. This compares to a prior
outlook range of $1.95 billion to $2.0 billion, which represented
growth of 14% to 16% from fiscal 2021
- Gross margin in the range of 45.7% to 45.9%, narrowed from
previous gross margin range of 45.5% to 46.0%
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $215 million to $230 million,
representing a decline of 23% to 17% from fiscal 2021. This
compares to a prior outlook range of $290 million to $310 million,
which represented growth of 4% to 11%
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.4% to 13.1%, compared to prior
outlook range of 14.9% to 15.5%
Fiscal 2024 Targets
- Due to the uncertain and evolving macroeconomic backdrop, the
timeline to achieve the Company’s previously issued targets of $2.5
billion revenue, 45-47% gross margins and 15-18% Adjusted EBITDA
margins is being extended beyond FY2024

(1) Restructuring and related expenses for
the nine months ended July 3, 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. The gain
represents the difference between the related operating lease
liability and previously accrued restructuring expenses versus the
early termination payment.
(2) Legal and transaction related costs
consist of expenses related to our intellectual property 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.

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 excluding
stock-based compensation and legal and transaction related fees,
and diluted earnings per share (EPS) excluding stock-based
compensation 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 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 and other assets. We calculate non-GAAP net income
excluding stock-based compensation and legal and transaction
related fees as net income less stock-based compensation and legal
and transaction related fees. We calculate non-GAAP diluted EPS
excluding stock-based compensation and legal and transaction
related fees as net income less stock-based compensation 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.
