Insights

Financial Analyst

Ubiquiti's Q2 FY2025 performance demonstrates exceptional execution across key metrics. The Enterprise Technology segment's 32.4% YoY growth to $518.2 million reflects strong market penetration and product adoption. Notably, North American revenues surged by 42.4% YoY to $321.6 million, indicating robust domestic market dynamics.

The gross margin expansion to 41.2% is particularly impressive given current supply chain challenges, though the sequential decline from 42.1% warrants attention. The margin pressure from higher shipping and tariff costs suggests potential near-term headwinds, but improved warehouse efficiency demonstrates effective operational management.

R&D investment increase to $40.0 million (8.4% YoY growth) signals continued commitment to innovation, while the rise in SG&A expenses to $28.5 million includes one-time factors like customer default-related bad debt. The reduction in interest expenses through lower borrowings and rates demonstrates prudent financial management, contributing to the impressive 66.6% YoY increase in net income to $136.8 million.

The geographical revenue distribution shows strong international presence, with EMEA contributing $208.6 million, highlighting successful market diversification. The declared dividend of $0.60 per share maintains Ubiquiti's commitment to shareholder returns while sustaining growth investments.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains such as share-based compensation expense and the tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments.

Reconciliations of the adjustments to GAAP results for the periods presented are provided above. In addition, an explanation of the ways in which management uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its business, the substance behind management’s decision to use this non-GAAP financial information, material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial information, the manner in which management compensates for those limitations, and the substantive reasons management believes that this non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to investors is included under the paragraphs below.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Information to Investors

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides important supplemental information regarding non-cash expenses, significant items that we believe are important to understanding our financial, and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company’s activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company’s operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company.

About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share

We compute non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share by adjusting GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to remove the impact of certain adjustments and the tax effect of those adjustments. Items excluded from net income are:

• Share-based compensation expense
• Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, applying the principles of ASC 740

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results.

For more information on the non-GAAP adjustments, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to non-GAAP Net Income" included in this press release.
