Sonos Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2025 Results

Q4 Revenue grew +13% year over year, near high end of guidance range

Q4 Adjusted EBITDA of $6.4 million, above midpoint of guidance range

Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA grew significantly year over year due to transformation efforts

Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) today reported Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2025 results.

“Q4 marked a strong finish to a transitional year for Sonos,” said Tom Conrad, Chief Executive Officer of Sonos. “We restored the quality of our software, strengthened our leadership team, and refocused on the areas where we’re truly differentiated. As we turn the page on a new chapter and lay the foundation for our next phase of growth, our strategy is clear: to unite every dimension of sound – through world-class hardware, software, and design – into one seamless platform for the home.”

“We closed out Fiscal 2025 on a high note as we delivered strong Q4 financial results with 13% revenue growth and solid positive Adjusted EBITDA,” said Saori Casey, Sonos Chief Financial Officer. “Over the course of Fiscal 2025, we executed on our pivotal transformation work, becoming a leaner, more focused organization with sharper financial discipline. As we enter Fiscal 2026, we’ll remain disciplined as we focus on returning to durable top-line growth — balancing continued profitability improvements with reinvesting efficiency gains.”

(1) Legal and transaction-related costs consist of expenses related to our intellectual property ("IP") litigation against Alphabet and Google, as well as legal and transaction costs associated with our acquisition activity, which we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance.

(2) On February 5, 2025, we initiated a restructuring plan to reduce our cost base involving 12% of our employees (the "2025 restructuring plan"). Restructuring and other charges for the three and twelve months ended September 27, 2025, primarily reflect costs associated with our cost transformation initiative including the 2025 restructuring plan, rationalization of our product roadmap, non-recurring costs related to write-offs of assets no longer in use, as well as non-recurring CEO transition costs related to modifications to equity awards. Restructuring and other charges for the three and twelve months ended September 28, 2024, relate to the restructuring plan we initiated on August 14, 2024 to reduce our cost base, including a reduction in force involving approximately 6% of our employees, and nominal remaining costs incurred related to the restructuring plan initiated on June 14, 2023 (the "2024 restructuring plan").

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We have provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating (loss) income, non-GAAP pre-tax (loss) income, free cash flow, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net (loss) income and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that we exclude in these non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP financial equivalents provided in the financial statement tables above. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income adjusted to exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest income, interest expense, other expense (income), income taxes, restructuring and other charges, legal and transaction related fees and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define non-GAAP operating (loss) income as total operating loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, legal and transaction related costs, amortization of intangibles and restructuring and other charges. We define non-GAAP pre-tax (loss) income as non-GAAP operating (loss) income adjusted to include interest income and to exclude interest expense. We define free cash flow as net cash from operations less purchases of property and equipment. We define non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross margin, excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and other changes. We calculate non-GAAP net (loss) income as GAAP net (loss) income less stock-based compensation, legal and transaction related fees, amortization of intangibles, other expense (income) and restructuring and other charges. We calculate non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share as non-GAAP net (loss) income divided by non-GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the period. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because we cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to unavailability of information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, we do so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis as that would require estimates for items such as stock-based compensation, which is inherently difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy. Stock-based compensation expense is difficult to estimate because it depends on our future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. In addition, for purposes of setting annual guidance, it would be difficult to quantify stock-based compensation expense for the year with reasonable accuracy in the current quarter. As a result, we do not believe that a GAAP reconciliation would provide meaningful supplemental information about our outlook.
