Insights

The merger agreement between Snap One and Resideo Technologies signals a significant consolidation within the smart-living products industry. The purchase price of $10.75 per share offers a concrete metric for investors to assess the value being placed on Snap One by Resideo. This transaction, pending regulatory approvals, may lead to market reevaluation of similar companies in the sector.

Analyzing Snap One's fiscal results, the decrease in net sales by 2.4% is a concern and reflects either a contracting market or lost market share, which investors should monitor closely. However, the reduction in SG&A expenses shows an effort to optimize operations, potentially improving the company's balance sheet in the long term. The increase in net loss to $22.9 million, representing -9.3% of net sales, could be viewed negatively, but the improved contribution margin suggests that Snap One is earning more per dollar of sales, which is a positive indicator for operational efficiency.

The bolstered cash position from operations is a welcome development, as is the generation of $3.9 million in free cash flow compared to the negative figure from the previous year. These could provide some financial stability as the merger progresses.

Mergers and acquisitions can be complex, but this deal appears straightforward, aiming to complete in the latter half of 2024. The all-cash nature simplifies the transaction for Snap One's shareholders and minimizes risks associated with stock-based transactions. However, investors should note that until the deal is finalized, there are always inherent risks, including the possibility of failure to obtain necessary approvals or changes in market conditions that could affect the merger's perceived benefits.

From a strategic perspective, the merger could allow Resideo to leverage Snap One's capabilities to enhance their product offerings and market reach. It could potentially lead to cost synergies and improved competitive positioning. However, the lack of a quarterly conference call eliminates a traditional platform for investor questions, which could limit transparency and leave investors with unresolved queries regarding the company's performance and expectations post-merger.

Additional information about Snap One can be found at snapone.com.

Snap One intends to use its website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Such disclosures will be included in the Investor Relations section of the Snap One website at investors.snapone.com. Accordingly, investors should monitor such portion of the website, in addition to following the Company’s press releases, Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, and public conference calls and webcasts.

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 (loss) 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, 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 expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, other expense (income), net, further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, acquisition-related 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 (loss) income, which is defined as net loss, plus amortization, further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and integration-related costs, (income) expense related to the 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 provided by (used in) 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 (loss) income, and free cash flow are key measures used by management to understand and evaluate our financial performance, 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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 expense, net of forfeitures, related to payments to certain pre-IPO owners in lieu of their participation in the 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.

(b) Represents noncash gains and losses recorded from fair value adjustments related to 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.

(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 information technology (“IT”) infrastructure.

(d) Severance cost associated with various restructuring actions such as warehouse relocation, departmental reorganization, and focused reduction in workforce.

(e) 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 were 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.

(f) Represents professional service fees associated with management remediation of the material weakness that was disclosed as part of our initial Registration Statement, preparation for compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”), the implementation of new accounting standards, and accounting for non-recurring transactions.

(g) Represents non-recurring expenses related to consulting, restructuring, and other expenses, including costs associated with the merger agreement, which management believes are not representative of our operating performance.

(h) Represents the tax impacts with respect to each adjustment noted above after considering the impact of permanent differences using the statutory tax rate related to the applicable federal and foreign jurisdictions and the blended state tax rate.
