Insights

The reported financial results of Airgain, Inc. reflect a significant year-over-year decline in sales, with a 26.2% drop from the previous year. This decrease is indicative of challenges faced across the enterprise, consumer and automotive markets. The notable decline in gross profit, both GAAP and non-GAAP, suggests a contraction in operational efficiency, potentially due to the excess and obsolete inventory charges mentioned. The reported net losses have widened, with the GAAP net loss growing more substantially than the non-GAAP net loss, emphasizing the impact of non-operating factors and adjustments on the company's financial health.

From an investor's perspective, the increased net loss and reduced sales raise concerns about the company's current market position and competitive dynamics. Despite this, the forecast for the first quarter of 2024 indicates an expectation of sales recovery and improved gross margins. This projection, if realized, could signal the beginning of a turnaround for Airgain. However, the anticipated continued net loss suggests that the path to profitability may still be challenging. Stakeholders should monitor the company's ability to execute its growth strategy, particularly in the context of its 5-G connectivity initiatives, which could be pivotal in driving future performance.

The wireless connectivity sector is undergoing rapid evolution, with 5-G technology being a key driver of growth. Airgain's focus on product innovation and the launch of 5-G initiatives could position the company to capitalize on this trend. However, the reported decline in sales across all market segments, particularly in the enterprise and consumer markets, suggests that Airgain is facing significant headwinds, possibly due to market saturation, competitive pressures, or shifts in consumer demand.

It is critical to assess Airgain's market strategy and its ability to differentiate its offerings in a crowded marketplace. The company's performance must be contextualized within the broader industry trends, such as the impact of the global semiconductor shortage, which may have affected supply chains and inventory levels. The financial outlook for Q1 2024 hints at modest improvements, but stakeholders should remain cautious and seek evidence of sustained demand and effective inventory management in subsequent quarters to validate the company's growth trajectory.

Airgain's performance in the wireless connectivity market is closely tied to technological advancements and the adoption of new standards like 5-G. The decline in sales, particularly in the automotive market due to the discontinued AC-HPUE product line, reflects the importance of maintaining a relevant and competitive product portfolio. The excess inventory correction also points to potential misalignment between production and market demand, which is critical in the fast-paced technology sector.

Investments in product innovation and 5-G initiatives could be key differentiators for Airgain moving forward. The technology sector values agility and the ability to quickly adapt to changing market needs. As such, Airgain's future success will likely depend on its ability to not only innovate but also to effectively forecast and respond to market demands. Stakeholders should monitor the company's R&D focus, particularly in the enterprise WiFi and industrial IoT segments, to gauge its potential for recovery and growth in the evolving landscape of wireless technology.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Airgain, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIRG), a leading provider of wireless connectivity solutions that creates and delivers embedded components, external antennas, and integrated systems across the globe, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“Our team delivered quarterly sales of $10.1 million, closing out 2023 with sales of $56.0 million,” said Airgain’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jacob Suen. “We believe that the fourth quarter was the trough for our business after sequential declines through the year. As we turn to 2024, we anticipate a year of gradual growth driven by recoveries in our end markets, investments in product innovations, and launches of our 5-G connectivity initiatives. We remain relentlessly focused on execution and long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $10.1 million, of which $4.6 million was generated from the enterprise market, $3.2 million from the consumer market and $2.3 million from the automotive market. Sales decreased by $3.6 million or 26.5%, compared to $13.7 million in the third quarter of 2023. Enterprise product sales decreased from the third quarter of 2023 by $2.2 million driven by lower enterprise WiFi and industrial IoT product sales. Consumer sales declined $1.2 million from the third quarter of 2023 driven by lower sales to cable operators. Automotive sales decreased $0.2 million from the third quarter of 2023 on lower aftermarket sales. Sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased by $9.8 million or 49.4% from $19.9 million in the same year-ago period due to decreased sales of $5.4 million from the enterprise market, $3.2 million from the consumer market and $1.2 million from the automotive market.

GAAP gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $2.9 million compared to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $5.9 million in the same year-ago period. Non-GAAP gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $3.1 million, compared to $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $6.1 million in the same year-ago period (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 29.1%, compared to 38.2% for the third quarter of 2023 and 29.6% in the same year-ago period. The decrease in gross margin compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to an excess and obsolete inventory charge. Non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 30.3% compared to 39.1% for the third quarter of 2023 and 30.5% in the same year-ago period (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $8.4 million, compared to $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $9.2 million in the same year-ago period. Operating expenses were higher for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher personnel compensation and engineering project expenses. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $6.5 million compared to $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $7.2 million in the same year-ago period (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $5.5 million or $(0.52) per share (based on 10.5 million shares), compared to $1.9 million or $(0.18) per share (based on 10.4 million shares) for the third quarter of 2023 and a net loss of $3.2 million or $(0.31) per share (based on 10.2 million shares) in the same year-ago period. The increase in net loss compared to the third quarter of 2023 was due to lower sales, higher expenses and a fourth quarter excess and obsolete inventory charge. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $3.5 million or $(0.33) per share (based on 10.5 million shares), compared to a net loss of $0.7 million or $(0.06) per share (based on 10.4 million shares) for the third quarter of 2023 and a non-GAAP net loss of $1.1 million or $(0.11) per share (based on 10.2 million shares) for the same year-ago period (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $(3.3) million, compared to $(0.5) million for the third quarter of 2023 and $(0.9) million in the same year-ago period (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Sales for the full year of 2023 were $56.0 million, of which $27.2 million was generated from the enterprise market, $18.9 million from the consumer market and $9.9 million from the automotive market. Sales decreased by $19.9 million or 26.2% for the full year of 2023 compared to $75.9 million in 2022. Enterprise sales decreased $7.3 million from $34.5 million in 2022 primarily due to channel excess inventory correction impacting our IIoT products sales. Consumer sales declined by $6.9 million from $25.8 million in 2022 primarily due to weaker end demand, coupled with excess inventory, with cable operators customers. Automotive sales decreased $5.7 million from $15.6 million in 2022 driven by the discontinued AC-HPUE product line and excess inventory correction impacting our aftermarket antenna sales.

GAAP gross profit for the full year of 2023 was $20.8 million compared to $28.0 million in 2022. Non-GAAP gross profit for the full year of 2023 was $21.2 million compared to $28.5 million in 2022 (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

GAAP gross margin for the full year of 2023 was 37.1%, compared to 36.9% in 2022. Non-GAAP gross margin for the full year of 2023 was 37.9%, compared to 37.6% in 2022 (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

GAAP operating expenses for the full year of 2023 were $33.2 million, compared to $36.6 million in 2022. The lower operating expenses were due lower personnel expenses, partially offset by higher project expenses. Non-GAAP operating expense for the full year of 2023 was $26.4 million, compared to $29.1 million in 2022 (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

GAAP net loss for the full year of 2023 was $12.4 million or $(1.20) per share (based on 10.4 million shares), compared to a net loss of $8.7 million or $(0.85) per share (based on 10.2 million shares) in 2022. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a decrease of $7.2 million in gross profit on lower sales, partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in operating expenses. Non-GAAP net loss for the full year of 2023 was $5.1 million or $(0.50) per share (based on 10.4 million shares), compared to $0.6 million or $(0.06) per share (based on 10.2 million diluted shares) in 2022 (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2023 was $(4.5) million, compared to 0.1 million in 2022 (see note regarding "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure).

Actual results may differ from those set forth in this press release due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including, without limitation: the market for our products is developing and may not develop as we expect; our operating results may fluctuate significantly, including based on seasonal factors, which makes future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or guidance; supply constraints on our and our customers' ability to obtain necessary components in our respective supply chains may negatively affect our sales and operating results; risks associated with the performance of our products, including bundled solutions with third-party products; our products are subject to intense competition and competitive pressures from existing and new companies may harm our business, sales, growth rates, and market share; risks associated with quality and timing in manufacturing our products and our reliance on third-party manufacturers; we may not be able to maintain strategic collaborations under which our bundled solutions are offered; overall global supply shortages and logistics delays within the supply chain that our products are used in, as well as adversely affecting the general U.S. and global economic conditions and financial markets, and, ultimately, our sales and operating results; any rise in interest rates and inflation may adversely impact our margins, the supply chain and our customers’ sales, which may negatively affect our sales and operating results; our future success depends on our ability to develop and successfully introduce new and enhanced products for the wireless market that meet the needs of our customers, including our ability to transition to provide a more diverse solutions capability; we sell to customers who are price conscious, and a few customers represent a significant portion of our sales, and if we lose any of these customers, our sales could decrease significantly; we rely on a limited number of contract manufacturers to produce and ship all of our products, and our contract manufacturers rely on a single or limited number of suppliers for some components of our products and channel partners to sell and support our products, and the failure to manage our relationships with these parties successfully or a failure of these parties to perform could adversely affect our ability to market and sell our products; if we cannot protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed or we could incur significant expenses to enforce our rights; and other risks described in our prior press releases and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (non-GAAP net income (loss)), non-GAAP net income (loss) per (basic or diluted) share (non-GAAP EPS), non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin. We believe these financial measures provide useful information to investors with which to analyze our operating trends and performance.

In computing Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP EPS, we exclude stock-based compensation expense, which represents non-cash charges for the fair value of stock awards; interest income, net of interest expense offset by other expense, depreciation and amortization, severance and exit costs, and provision (benefit) for income taxes. In computing non-GAAP operating expense, we exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, and severance and exit costs. In computing non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, we exclude stock-based compensation expense, and amortization of intangible assets. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash operating expenses; we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash expense allows for meaningful comparisons between our core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing us with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own core business operating results over different periods of time. Management considers these types of expenses and adjustments, to a great extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a considerable number of factors that are outside of our control and are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period.

Our non-GAAP measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. Our Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating or net income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. We do not consider these non-GAAP measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. Reconciliations with specific adjustments to GAAP results and outlooks are provided at the end of this release.
