Rhea-AI Summary

NETGEAR (NASDAQ: NTGR) reported a 14% decline in net revenue to $249.6 million for Q3 2022, with a GAAP operating loss of $2.2 million. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share dropped to $0.21, down from $0.50 year-over-year. Despite challenges, the SMB business achieved record revenue with 21% year-over-year growth, driven by demand for high-end products like WiFi mesh systems and 5G hotspots. Looking forward, the company anticipates Q4 revenue of between $235 million and $250 million, facing supply constraints and foreign exchange headwinds.

Positive
  • Record revenue in the SMB business with 21% year-over-year growth.
  • Continued strong demand for high-end WiFi mesh and 5G mobile hotspot products.
  • Positive outlook for fourth-quarter revenue from the service provider channel, expected to reach approximately $50 million.
Negative
  • Overall net revenue decreased by 14% year-over-year.
  • GAAP operating loss of $2.2 million, compared to operating income of $12.9 million in Q3 2021.
  • Supply constraints affecting the SMB business and overall operating margin.
  • Significant foreign exchange headwinds anticipated, given 50% of SMB revenue is in foreign currency.

SMB business delivers record revenue; 21% year over year growth

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 third quarter ended October 2, 2022.

  • Third quarter 2022 net revenue of $249.6 million, a decrease of 14.0% from the comparable prior year quarter.
  • Third quarter 2022 GAAP operating loss of $2.2 million, or (0.9)% of net revenue, as compared to operating income of $12.9 million, or 4.5% of net revenue, in the comparable prior year quarter.
    • Third quarter 2022 non-GAAP operating income of $1.8 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, as compared to $19.5 million, or 6.7% of net revenue, in the comparable prior year quarter.
  • Third quarter 2022 GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.10, as compared to $0.31 in the comparable prior year quarter.
    • Third quarter 2022 non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.21, as compared to $0.50 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, “In the third quarter, we achieved revenue in the upper half of our guidance range, enabled by continued strong demand for our high-end WiFi mesh, 5G mobile hotspots, and ProAV managed switches. We delivered record revenue in the SMB business despite continued supply challenges throughout the quarter and experienced year over year growth in end user demand for our super premium WiFi mesh systems and 5G mobile hotspots. The overall market for super premium WiFi mesh, led by us, continues to grow year over year while the rest of the WiFi market contracted double digits, a strong validation of our CHP product strategy. We came in below guidance on operating margin due to supply constraints, primarily on our SMB and premium CHP products, which resulted in a missed opportunity to further improve our product revenue mix overall.”

Mr. Lo continued, “The retail networking market declined by double digits relative to the pre-pandemic period due to the challenging macroeconomic environment for most consumers. This is causing our retail channel partners to further reduce their inventories and we expect this trend to continue into 2023. As such, we are doubling down on our premium CHP product strategy to target the more affluent consumers, a sector of the market that is holding strong in the face of these headwinds. This includes recent introductions of the new Orbi 860 10G WiFi 6 mesh system, which is ideal for iPhone and Mac users, and the M6 5G mobile hotspot, which is ideal for rural residential users and traveling business professionals. We fully expect that we will continue to see year-on-year growth of our CHP premium products independent of the rest of the market declining. At the same time, we are realigning our sales and marketing resources internally to put more emphasis into the fast-growing ProAV business. Our new Windows and MacOS based ProAV network configuration and management software has been well received among the AV installer community, and we are doubling the headcount of our ProAV consulting team worldwide. On the backs of these two businesses and, with a much more stable supply outlook in 2023, we believe we are well positioned for a return to growth in 2023.”

Business Outlook

Bryan Murray, Chief Financial Officer of NETGEAR, added, “While we expect to continue to experience strong underlying demand in the SMB business and the premium portion of our CHP product portfolio, we are facing some near-term headwinds. We expect the SMB business will remain supply constrained, and we will continue to use higher cost air freight as a means to partially mitigate. We are also continuing to work with our retail channel partners in the coming quarters to reduce their inventory levels. Furthermore, as roughly 50% of our SMB revenue is in foreign currency, we are seeing significant foreign exchange headwinds going from Q3 into Q4. On the positive side, we do expect fourth quarter revenue from the service provider channel to increase to approximately $50 million. Together, these factors lead us to expect our fourth quarter net revenue to be in the range of $235 million to $250 million. As a result of these factors, our GAAP operating margin for the fourth quarter is expected to be in the range of (4.2)% to (3.2)%, and non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of (2.0)% to (1.0)%. Our GAAP tax rate is expected to be approximately 20.0%, and our non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be 23.0% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

“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.”

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, change in fair value of contingent consideration, goodwill impairment, 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: change in fair value of contingent consideration, goodwill impairment, restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, 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 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. Non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) is computed on a current and deferred basis with non-GAAP income (loss) consistent with use of non-GAAP income (loss) as a performance measure. The Non-GAAP tax provision (benefit) is calculated by adjusting the GAAP tax provision (benefit) for the impact of the non-GAAP adjustments, with specific tax provisions such as state income tax and Base-erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax recomputed on a non-GAAP basis. For interim periods, the non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit) is calculated based on the forecasted annual non-GAAP tax rate before discrete items and adjusted for interim discrete items. Included in the non-GAAP tax adjustments for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 are adjustments to tax expense (benefit) related to changes in our forecasts. Additionally, certain discrete period items in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 related to changes in estimates related to the Company’s 2021 US federal tax return have been recomputed on a non-GAAP basis.
