CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snap One Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: SNPO) (“Snap One,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), a provider of smart living products, services, and software to professional integrators, reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Fiscal First Quarter 2023 and Recent Operational Highlights

  • Continued investment to maintain a clear leadership position in the professionally installed smart living industry
    • Awarded 14 2023 CE Pro ‘Quest for Quality’ awards across 22 categories included in its survey of professional integrators, reflecting the Company’s service excellence
  • Delivered on new product innovation and enhanced software platform capabilities
    • Launched exciting new solutions across outdoor audio and lighting, control, surveillance, and networking

  • Expanded local branch presence with the opening of a Fort Myers, FL location, bringing the total number to 41 North American branches at the end of the quarter

Management Commentary
“Our team navigated an uncertain environment, including channel inventory destocking headwinds, and delivered improved bottom-line results, highlighting the resiliency of our business model and the integrator partners we serve,” said Snap One CEO John Heyman. “We remain focused on executing controllable strategies to grow our share of wallet with existing integrator partners and to drive expanded profitability. During the period, we took several meaningful steps in support of this plan including launching numerous exciting new products, opening an additional domestic branch, completing a strategic sales team optimization, and executing targeted marketing programs. We have also driven significant contribution margin rate expansion due to the cumulative impact of our price adjustments enacted in response to supply chain and input cost inflation, which has begun to ease. We remain on track with our operating margin expansion plan for the year.”

Fiscal First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Results compare 2023 fiscal first quarter end (March 31, 2023) to 2022 fiscal first quarter end (April 1, 2022) unless otherwise indicated. The Company’s fiscal first quarter in both years reflects a 13-week period. Results are presented on an as reported basis, unless otherwise indicated.

  • Net sales decreased 9.2% to $252.0 million from $277.4 million in the comparable year-ago period, primarily attributable to channel inventory destocking headwinds.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 8.4% to $93.8 million (37.2% of net sales) from $86.5 million (31.2% of net sales) in the comparable year-ago period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased due to a lower net sales base in the period compared to the year-ago period as well as due to increases in fair value adjustment to contingent value rights, equity-based compensation, and severance cost.
  • Net loss increased to $14.5 million (-5.8% of net sales) compared to net loss of $2.3 million (-0.8% of net sales) in the comparable year-ago period.
  • Contribution margin, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, increased 1.1% to $106.2 million (42.1% of net sales) from $105.1 million (37.9% of net sales) in the comparable year-ago period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, decreased 3.9% to $22.7 million (9.0% of net sales) compared to $23.6 million (8.5% of net sales) in the comparable year-ago period.
  • Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, decreased to $3.4 million (1.3% of net sales) from $10.7 million (3.9% of net sales) in the comparable year-ago period.
  • Net cash used in operating activities totaled $2.6 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $23.0 million in the comparable year-ago period.
  • As of March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $34.5 million, compared to $21.1 million at the end of fiscal year 2022.
  • Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance reconciled below, totaled $(11.8) million, compared to $(26.3) million in the comparable year-ago period.

Stock Repurchase Program
As of March 31, 2023, Snap One had repurchased 296,467 shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount of $3.1 million pursuant to the Company’s $25 million stock repurchase program authorization through the end of 2023.

Fiscal 2023 Financial Outlook
“Our full year 2023 outlook remains solid as we seek to move past the channel inventory destocking headwind, drive operating margin expansion, and enhance our liquidity position,” Heyman continued. “We are maintaining a pragmatic view of topline performance given the persistent macroeconomic uncertainty and channel inventory destocking headwind in the short-term. However, our recent performance provides us with improved visibility into our profitability outlook.”

“With these factors in mind, we are tightening our full-year net sales and increasing our full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges from our previously published outlook. We now expect our net sales in fiscal year ending December 29, 2023 to range between $1.06 billion and $1.09 billion. For fiscal 2023, we expect adjusted EBITDA1 to range between $110 million and $118 million which represents a 20 basis point improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin relative to our prior guidance. Overall, we remain confident in our 2023 outlook and the long-term opportunity for Snap One.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and free cash flow. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial or operating performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use the following non-GAAP measures to help us monitor the performance of our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions:

Contribution margin, which is defined as net sales less cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, divided by net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net loss, plus interest expense, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, other expense (income), net further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, acquisition- and integration-related costs and certain other non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges as set forth in the reconciliation in this section below.

Adjusted net income, which is defined as net loss plus amortization further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, acquisition- and integration-related costs, IPO cost, expense related to interest rate cap and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges, including the estimated tax impacts of these adjustments as set forth in the reconciliation in this section below.

Free cash flow, which is defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which consist of purchases of property and equipment as well as purchases of information technology, software development and leasehold improvements).

Contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and free cash flow are key measures used by management to understand and evaluate our financial performance, trends and generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital, and analyze investments in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our products and services. We believe contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and free cash flow are useful measurements for analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our markets as they help identify underlying trends that could otherwise be masked by certain expenses that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance.

Contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools. These measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among the methods of calculation.

(a)   Represents costs directly associated with acquisitions and acquisition-related integration activities. These costs also include certain restructuring costs (e.g., severance) and other third-party transaction advisory fees associated with planned and completed acquisitions.
(b)   Represents non-recurring expense related to payments to certain pre-IPO owners in lieu of their participation in the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”). Management does not believe such costs are indicative of our ongoing operations as they are one-time awards specific to the establishment of the TRA.
(c)   Represents costs associated with the implementation of enterprise resource planning systems, customer resource management systems, and business intelligence systems as part of our initiative to modernize our IT infrastructure.
(d)   Represents an adjustment related to the fair value of deferred revenue related to the Control4 acquisition.
(e)   Represents noncash gains and losses recorded from fair value adjustments related to contingent value right (“CVR”) liabilities. Fair value adjustments related to CVR liabilities represent potential obligations to the prior sellers in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company by investment funds managed by Hellman & Friedman, LLC (“H&F”) in August 2017.
(f)   Represents expenses incurred related to deferred payments to employees associated with historical acquisitions. The deferred payments are cash retention awards for key personnel from the acquired companies and are expected to be paid to employees through 2023. Management does not believe such costs are indicative of our ongoing operations as they are one-time awards specific to acquisitions and are incremental to our typical compensation costs incurred and we do not expect such costs to be reflective of future increases in base compensation expense.
(g)   Severance cost associated with various restructuring actions such as warehouse relocation, departmental reorganization and focused reduction in workforce.
(h)   Represents professional service fees associated with the preparation for Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”) compliance, the implementation of new accounting standards and accounting for non-recurring transactions.
(i)   Represents non-recurring expenses related to consulting, restructuring, and other expenses which management believes are not representative of our operating performance.
(j)   Represents the tax impacts with respect to each adjustment noted above after taking into account the impact of permanent differences using the statutory tax rate related to the applicable federal and foreign jurisdictions and the blended state tax rate.

1 We have not reconciled the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance included above to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to certain costs, the most significant of which are incentive compensation (including stock-based compensation), transaction-related expenses, and certain fair value measurements, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
