NETGEAR® Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

Rhea-AI Summary

NETGEAR reported a net revenue of $210.6 million for Q1 2022, a decrease of 33.8% year-over-year.

Despite these challenges, NETGEAR achieved a 30.4% growth in paid subscribers, totaling 627,000. The CEO acknowledged ongoing supply chain issues due to COVID-19 but remains optimistic about their premium product offerings and revenue guidance for Q2, expecting revenue between $205 million and $220 million.

Positive

• 30.4% year-over-year growth in paid subscribers, totaling 627,000.

• Continued success of premium WiFi products, such as Quadband WiFi 6E Orbi.

Negative

• 33.8% decrease in net revenue year-over-year.
• GAAP operating loss of $58.5 million compared to operating income in the previous year.

Reached 627,000 Paid Subscribers for 30.4% Growth Year over Year

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NETGEAR, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative networking and Internet connected products to consumers and businesses, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2022.

• First quarter 2022 net revenue of $210.6 million, a decrease of 33.8% from the comparable prior year quarter.
• First quarter 2022 GAAP operating loss of $58.5 million impacted by non-cash impairment charges of $44.4 million, or (27.8)% of net revenue, as compared to operating income of $31.3 million, or 9.9% of net revenue, in the comparable prior year quarter.
  • First quarter 2022 non-GAAP operating loss of $9.3 million, or (4.4)% of net revenue, as compared to operating income of $42.3 million, or 13.3% of net revenue, in the comparable prior year quarter.
• First quarter 2022 GAAP net loss per diluted share of $1.95, as compared to net income per diluted share of $0.72 in the comparable prior year quarter.
  • First quarter 2022 non-GAAP net loss per diluted share of $0.28, as compared to net income per diluted share of $0.99 in the comparable prior year quarter.

The accompanying schedules provide a reconciliation of financial measures computed on a GAAP basis to financial measures computed on a non-GAAP basis.

Patrick Lo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NETGEAR, commented, “We ended the first quarter with net revenue of $210.6 million and non-GAAP operating margin of (4.4)%, within the range of our recently revised guidance. We continued to experience strong demand for our SMB products, especially on our ProAV switches; however, our ability to deliver meaningfully higher revenue was constrained by COVID-induced lockdowns in China which impacted supply of components to our supply chain partners. On the CHP side, we saw the continued year over year and sequential growth in end user sales of our super-premium mesh products represented by our Orbi 8 and Orbi 9. Meanwhile overall CHP sales were negatively impacted by the U.S. consumer WiFi market contracting from approximately 15% above 2019 levels entering the first quarter to roughly flat to 2019 exiting the first quarter. The lower top line performance negatively impacted our operating leverage and resulting margin performance in the quarter.”

Mr. Lo continued, “In spite of these challenges, it’s clear that our core long-term strategy of focusing on the premium, higher-margin segments of the WiFi mesh market and the ProAV revolution remains intact. As the pioneer of the Tri and Quad band WiFi segment we are seeing great reception of our $1,500 Quadband WiFi 6E Orbi. Buoyed by the success of our premium WiFi products, we ended the quarter with 627,000 paid subscribers for our services business and remain encouraged by this progress towards our full year target of 750,000 subscribers.”

Bryan Murray, Chief Financial Officer of NETGEAR, added, “During the first quarter of 2022, we repurchased approximately 354,000 shares of common stock for $9.4 million. Preserving strong liquidity and generating cash remain paramount as the pandemic and its related supply chain challenges continue to persist. We expect to continue to opportunistically repurchase shares in future periods.”

Business Outlook

Mr. Murray continued, “The U.S. consumer WiFi market is currently roughly flat to 2019 levels, lower than our expectations to start the year. Given the smaller market, we will be taking actions to optimize our retail channel partners’ inventory levels in the coming quarters to align them to current demand expectations. We will also be taking steps to better align the cost structure of the CHP business with its current projected revenue levels. Even in the face of significant supply chain challenges we expect second quarter revenue from the service provider channel to be approximately $30 million and SMB to perform slightly above Q1’22. Together, these factors lead us to expect our second quarter net revenue to be in the range of $205 million to $220 million. As a result of these factors, plus reduced leverage from our topline, our GAAP operating margin for the second quarter is expected to be in the range of (6.5)% to (5.5)%, and non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of (4.0)% to (3.0)%. Our GAAP tax rate is expected to be approximately 17.0%, and our non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be 16.0% for the second quarter of 2022. We remain hopeful that sea transportation costs will ease and our SMB supply will improve in the second half of the year and these factors will combine with our cost reduction efforts to create a much more favorable environment for our top and bottom lines. While we are confident in our ability to provide guidance at this time, we do so with the caveat that considerable uncertainty remains in the market due to the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain conditions continuing to remain challenged and, should unforeseen events occur, in particular challenges related to closures affecting our manufacturing partners operations, increased transportation delays into any of our regional distribution or manufacturing centers, greater than expected freight or component costs, or lower than expected end market demand, our actual results could differ from the foregoing guidance.”

A reconciliation between the Business Outlook on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the following table:

		Three months ending
		July 3, 2022
		Operating Margin Rate			Tax Rate
GAAP		(6.5)% - (5.5)%			17.0	%
Estimated adjustments for1:
Stock-based compensation expense		2.4	%		-
Amortization of intangibles		0.1	%		-
Non-GAAP tax adjustments		-			(1.0	)%
Non-GAAP		(4.0)% - (3.0)%			16.0	%

¹ Business outlook does not include estimates for any currently unknown income and expense items which, by their nature, could arise late in a quarter, including: litigation reserves, net; acquisition-related charges; impairment charges; restructuring and other charges and discrete tax benefits or detriments that cannot be forecasted (e.g., windfalls or shortfalls from equity awards or items related to the resolution of uncertain tax positions). New material income and expense items such as these could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement our unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP other operating expenses, net, non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income (expenses), net, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude adjustments for amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, gain/loss on investments, net, and adjust for effects related to non-GAAP tax adjustments. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to our ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. In addition, management’s incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

• the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our on-going operating results;
• the ability to better identify trends in our underlying business and perform related trend analyses;
• a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business; and
• an easier way to compare our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The following are explanations of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding them in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Amortization of intangibles consists primarily of non-cash charges that can be impacted by, among other things, the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. We consider our operating results without these charges when evaluating our ongoing performance and forecasting our earnings trends, and therefore exclude such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of our competitors.

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of stock options, restricted stock units, performance shares and shares under the employee stock purchase plan granted to employees. We believe that the exclusion of these charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact stock-based compensation expense has on our operating results.

Other items consist of certain items that are the result of either unique or unplanned events, including, when applicable: restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, goodwill impairment charges, and gain/loss on investments, net. It is difficult to predict the occurrence or estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financial statements, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods. The amounts result from events that often arise from unforeseen circumstances, which often occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Therefore, the amounts do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing business operations for the period in which they are incurred.

Non-GAAP tax adjustments consist of adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure on non-GAAP net income(loss). We also believe providing financial information with and without the income tax effects relating to our non-GAAP financial measures provides our management and users of the financial statements with better clarity regarding the on-going performance of our business.

The GAAP net loss per diluted share calculation uses a lower share count as it excludes potentially dilutive shares included in the non-GAAP net income per diluted share calculation.
