OWLT Sandbridge Aquisition Corp

Owlet, Inc. (“Owlet” or the “Company”) (NYSE:OWLT), the pioneer of smart infant monitoring, today reports financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Owlet’s Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Kurt Workman, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Jonathan Harris, and Chief Financial Officer, Amanda Twede Crawford, will host a conference call to review the Company’s results and provide a business update today, November 13, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Q3 2024 Financial Highlights:

• Q3 Revenue of $22.1 million, up 141% from Q3 2023
• Q3 Gross Margin of 52.2%, up 1,590 basis points from Q3 2023
• Q3 Net Loss of $(5.6) million, compared to $(5.6) million in Q3 2023
• Q3 Adjusted EBITDA of $0.6 million, improving $6.1 million compared to Q3 2023

“Owlet is demonstrating significant momentum as we delivered another quarter of strong revenue growth and meaningful margin expansion,” said Kurt Workman, Owlet’s Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “We continue to leverage our differentiated infant monitoring solutions, including FDA approval and CE clearance, to grow adoption, capture market share, and address the fundamental needs of parents around the world.”

Workman continued, “In the quarter, we also successfully completed a follow-on equity offering and comprehensive debt refinancing, strengthening our balance sheet and supporting improved operational flexibility as we hit an exciting inflection point in the business.”

Workman concluded, “The Owlet team is focused on finishing the year strong, executing on the growth opportunities in our core products, and capitalizing on the long-term potential for our BabySat medical offering and Owlet’s subscription service. We believe Owlet has never been better positioned as a business to deliver significant value for our customers, partners, and all stakeholders.”

Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $22.1 million compared to revenue in the third quarter of 2023 of $9.2 million, an increase of 141%. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of Dream Sock products, reflecting an increase in consumer demand across all sales channels as compared to the same period in the prior year. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company entered into an arrangement to start selling products directly to Amazon.com, Inc. under a first-party seller relationship. As a result, all sell-in revenue related to Amazon from third quarter 2023 was pushed to the fourth quarter of 2023, which impacted third quarter revenue growth when comparing year-over-year results, and will impact year-over-year revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $10.6 million with a gross margin of 52.2%, compared to cost of revenue of $5.9 million with a gross margin of 36.3% for the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin significantly increased 1,590 basis points year-over-year primarily due to higher revenue, favorable product mix toward Dream Sock, the continuing trend of decreasing overall return rates, lower direct product and fulfillment costs, and fixed cost absorption.

Operating expenses, including stock-based compensation, were $16.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2023. Operating costs increased year-over-year primarily due to impairment charges related to intangible assets, higher compensation expense, including accrued bonuses, severance-related expenses, and stock-based compensation, as well as higher marketing expenses.

Operating loss was $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to operating loss of $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Net loss was $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to net loss of $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2023.

In the third quarter of 2024, we recognized a $1.9 million charge for asset impairment related to internally developed software, which was recorded within general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to a loss of $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, an improvement of $6.1 million.

Net loss per share was $(0.61) for the third quarter of 2024, compared to net loss per share of $(0.84) for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income per share was $0.03 for the third quarter of 2024, compared to adjusted net income (loss) per share of $(0.70) for the same period in 2023.

Updated 2024 Financial Outlook

For full year 2024, we now expect net revenue to be in the range of $74 million to $77.5 million, gross margins of 48% to 49%, and adjusted EBITDA loss of $(5) million to $(3) million. At the midpoints, this implies a raise to the full year 2024 outlook we provided on the second quarter 2024 financial results call.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Owlet will host a conference call and webcast today, November 13, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss these results and provide a business update.

The Company does not endorse any projections regarding future performance that may be made by third parties.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share.

The Company uses such non-GAAP financial measures as internal measures of business operating performance and as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company’s peers and competitors. The Company believes its presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of the Company’s current business and enables investors to better understand and evaluate its historical and prospective operating performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they exclude items that vary from period to period without correlation to the Company’s core operating performance and highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Due to the nature of the items being excluded, such items do not reflect future gains, losses, expenses or benefits and are not indicative of the Company’s future operating performance. The Company believes investors, analysts and other interested parties use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share in evaluating issuers, and the presentation of these measures facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance in addition to the Company’s performance based on GAAP results.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or net loss per share as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for income tax provision and interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for income tax provision, interest expense, interest expense from contingent beneficial conversion feature, interest income, depreciation and amortization, intangible asset impairment, restructuring costs, warrant liability adjustments, gain on loan forgiveness, stock-based compensation, and transaction costs.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for restructuring costs, common stock warrant liability adjustments, stock-based compensation, transaction costs, and intangible asset impairment. Adjusted net income (loss) per share is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, and the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP measures does not replace the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. Because all companies do not use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share (and similarly titled financial measures) in the same way, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release should not be construed as substitutes for or better indicators of the Company’s performance than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See the reconciliation tables that accompany this release for additional information regarding certain of the non-GAAP financial measures included herein.

A reconciliation of the Company's guidance with respect to non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, the amounts of which could be material.
