Sonos Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

About this update from Sonos, Inc.

Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) today reported Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 results. “The first half of Fiscal 2026 marks an important turning point for Sonos as we return to growth and change the trajectory of the business,” said Tom Conrad, Chief Executive Officer of Sonos. “The progress we’re seeing comes from coordinated execution across the areas that matter most: better products, a stronger software experience, more effective marketing, and continued expansion in growth markets. This translated into 8% revenue growth in Q2, our first positive Q2 Adjusted EBITDA in four years, and our third consecutive semiannual period of revenue growth improvement. We enter the second half with momentum and a clear focus on building durable growth while staying disciplined in how we operate.” "Q2 results overall came in strong against our expectations, with revenue near the high end of our guidance, and Adjusted EBITDA above the midpoint. First half Adjusted EBITDA is up 48% year over year, reflecting gross profit dollar growth combined with operating expense reductions," said Saori Casey, Chief Financial Officer. "Q2 marks our seventh consecutive quarter of executing against our commitments" Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights (unaudited) Revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $282 million GAAP gross margin of 44.3%, Non-GAAP gross margin of 46.0% GAAP net loss improved by $41 million year-over-year to ($29) million, GAAP diluted loss per share (EPS) improved by $0.34 year-over-year to ($0.24) Non-GAAP net loss improved by $19 million year-over-year to ($3) million, Non-GAAP diluted EPS improved by $0.16 year-over-year to ($0.02) Adjusted EBITDA increased $3 million year-over-year to $2 million Returned $40 million to shareholders through repurchase of 2.5 million shares First Half Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights (unaudited) Revenue increased 2% year-over-year to $827 million GAAP gross margin of 45.7%, Non-GAAP gross margin of 47.0% GAAP net income improved by $85 million year-over-year to $65 million, GAAP diluted EPS improved by $0.68 year-over-year to $0.52 Non-GAAP net income improved by $49 million year-over-year to $113 million, Non-GAAP diluted EPS improved by $0.40 year-over-year to $0.91 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $44 million year-over-year to $134 million Returned $65 million to shareholders through repurchase of 4.0 million shares Guidance The company will provide guidance on its Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 earnings call.

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 (loss) income adjusted to exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest income, interest expense, other expense (income), income taxes, restructuring and other charges, legal and transaction related fees 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 non-GAAP operating (loss) income as total operating loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, legal and transaction related costs, amortization of intangibles and restructuring and other charges. We define non-GAAP pre-tax (loss) income as non-GAAP operating (loss) income adjusted to include interest income and to exclude interest expense. We define free cash flow as net cash from operations less purchases of property and equipment. We define non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross margin, excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and other charges. We define non-GAAP cost of revenue as GAAP cost of revenue less stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles. We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit less stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and restructuring and other charges. We calculate non-GAAP net (loss) income as GAAP net (loss) income less stock-based compensation, legal and transaction related fees, amortization of intangibles, other expense (income) and restructuring and other charges. We calculate non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share as non-GAAP net (loss) income divided by non-GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the period. 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.
