Insights

Symbotic's Q3 FY2024 results present a mixed picture. While revenue growth is impressive, increasing 57.7% year-over-year to $492 million, profitability remains a concern. The company narrowed its net loss to $14 million from $39 million in the same quarter last year, but it's still in the red.

The adjusted EBITDA of $15 million is a positive sign, improving from a $3 million loss last year. However, the $81 million decrease in cash and equivalents is worrying, especially given the capital-intensive nature of Symbotic's business.

The company's system gross margin underperformance is a red flag. While management attributes this to elongated construction schedules and implementation costs, it raises questions about Symbotic's ability to scale efficiently. The focus on improving planning, implementation speed and project management is important but may impact short-term revenue growth.

Looking ahead, the Q4 guidance of $455 million to $475 million in revenue suggests a sequential decline, which is concerning. The projected adjusted EBITDA of $28 million to $32 million does indicate improving profitability, but without net income guidance, it's difficult to assess the full financial picture.

Investors should closely monitor Symbotic's ability to improve its gross margins and deployment process efficiency in the coming quarters, as these will be critical for long-term profitability and growth.

Symbotic's Q3 results highlight both the potential and challenges in the AI-enabled robotics sector for supply chains. The company's continued innovation, particularly the enhancements to SymBot and the development of the minibot for BreakPack, demonstrates its commitment to staying at the forefront of warehouse automation technology.

The extension of SymBot's capabilities through an enhanced sensor array is particularly noteworthy. This likely improves the robot's ability to navigate complex warehouse environments and interact with a wider variety of items, potentially increasing efficiency and reducing errors. The development of the minibot for BreakPack suggests Symbotic is expanding its product range to address different segments of the warehouse automation market, possibly targeting smaller items or more intricate picking tasks.

However, the challenges in system deployment and implementation costs raise questions about the scalability of Symbotic's technology. The complexity of integrating advanced robotics and AI systems into existing warehouse infrastructure may be more challenging than initially anticipated. This could potentially slow down market adoption and impact the company's growth trajectory.

The focus on improving planning, speed of implementation and project management is crucial. If successful, these improvements could significantly enhance Symbotic's competitive position and profitability. However, the short-term impact on revenue growth suggests that the technological advantages have yet to translate into smooth, predictable financial performance.

Investors should keep an eye on Symbotic's ability to streamline its deployment process and reduce system costs, as these factors will be critical in determining the company's long-term success in the rapidly evolving warehouse automation market.

WILMINGTON, Mass., July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Symbotic Inc. (Nasdaq: SYM), a leader in A.I.-enabled robotics technology for the supply chain, announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter of 2024 ended June 29, 2024. Symbotic posted revenue of $492 million, a net loss of $14 million and adjusted EBITDA1 of $15 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024. In the same quarter of fiscal 2023, Symbotic had revenue of $312 million, a net loss of $39 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss1 of $3 million. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand decreased by $81 million from the prior quarter to $870 million at the end of the third quarter.

“Symbotic continues to innovate. During the quarter, we extended the future capabilities of SymBot by incorporating an enhanced sensor array and we advanced development of our new minibot for BreakPack,” said Rick Cohen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Symbotic. “Our teams continue to focus on execution of the 39 systems we have in deployment, which is reflected in our record revenue for the quarter. Our system gross margin fell below expectations due to elongated construction schedules and implementation costs. We are focused on improving our planning, speed of implementation and project management to improve performance.”

“As planned, system deployments reaccelerated from last quarter. We started five system deployments and completed three operational systems,” said Symbotic Chief Financial Officer, Carol Hibbard. “Looking ahead, improving our deployment process may temporarily slow our revenue growth. However, we expect system costs to decline and gross margin to return to historical levels during our fourth fiscal quarter.”

OUTLOOK

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Symbotic expects revenue of $455 million to $475 million, and adjusted EBITDA2 of $28 million to $32 million.

WEBCAST INFORMATION

_______________
1 Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.” See the tables below for reconciliations to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure.
2 Symbotic is not providing guidance for net loss, which is the most comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA, because information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to net loss is unavailable to it without unreasonable effort. Symbotic is not able to provide reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net loss because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of Symbotic’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for stock-based compensation.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Symbotic reports its financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). This press release contains financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP financial measures”), including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool as they do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures Symbotic uses may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-GAAP financial measures are provided as a supplement to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to provide additional information regarding the results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, in isolation from, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are reconciled to their closest reported U.S. GAAP financial measures. Symbotic recommends that investors review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.

Symbotic defines adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as GAAP net loss excluding the following items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; CEO transition charges; joint venture formation fees; restructuring charges; equity financing transaction costs; equity method investment; and other non-recurring items that may arise from time to time. Symbotic defines adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP financial measure, as GAAP gross profit excluding the following items: depreciation; stock-based compensation; and restructuring charges. Symbotic defines adjusted gross profit margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, as adjusted gross profit divided by revenue. In addition to Symbotic’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Symbotic believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful in evaluating the performance of Symbotic’s business because they highlight trends in its core business.
