The accompanying schedules provide a reconciliation of financial measures computed on a GAAP basis to financial measures computed on a non-GAAP basis.

CJ Prober, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Having recently passed my one-year anniversary at NETGEAR, I'm thrilled with our progress as we once again delivered revenue and operating margin above the high end of guidance while driving dramatic shifts in our operating model and focus on the customer. These results were enabled by the proactive steps we took throughout the year to improve our organization, operating model and strategy in pursuit of long-term growth and profitability. In the last year, we aggressively de-stocked our channel, dramatically lowered our inventory, significantly increased our cash position, continued to innovate with new product launches and software enhancements, and added great new people to our world class team. Going forward, the focus is on improving our software capabilities and driving recurring revenue where we have a solid starting point at almost $35 million annual recurring revenue as we exit 2024."

Bryan Murray, Chief Financial Officer, added, "This marked the sixth consecutive quarter of free cash flow generation, which came in at $19.0 million, driven by DSOs reaching their lowest level in over seven years with the improved linearity in the business enabling us to match sell-in with sell-through. We exited the quarter with nearly $409 million in cash, a sequential increase of $13.0 million. Capital allocation remains a key focus for NETGEAR and in Q4 we resumed our share repurchase program, repurchasing approximately $10.7 million of our common stock. Importantly, to maximize long-term shareholder value, we completed a restructuring of the business, ultimately saving more than $20 million in annual operating expenses that we are reinvesting into the business to capitalize on our highest priority opportunities to expand revenue and profitability."

NETGEAR For Business (NFB) Segment Results

Revenue was $80.8 million, up 14.9% year over year
Non-GAAP gross margin was 43.9%, down 270 basis points year over year
Non-GAAP contribution margin was 19.7%, down 90 basis points year over year

Mr. Prober continued, "For NFB, our leading ProAV products drove another record quarter in end user sales while we added almost 50 new manufacturing partners and launched Engage 2.0, substantially expanding our software capabilities in this product category. The continuing strong performance of this business provides a great foundation for our return to profitable growth."

Connected Home Products (CHP) Segment Results

Revenue was $101.6 million, down 14.2% year over year
Non-GAAP gross margin was 23.9%, down 420 basis points year over year
Non-GAAP contribution margin was (1.3)%, down 740 basis points year over year

Mr. Prober continued, "We've had a great reception to our recently released WiFi 7 Orbi and Nighthawk products and we are making progress in executing on our ‘good-better-best' product strategy, which we expect to help us reclaim market share in 2025. Importantly, recurring revenue improved by 25% year over year, a result of the targeted software investments we've made across both businesses, including recent upgrades to our Armor offering. Although the full benefits of NETGEAR's revamped strategy will take time to materialize completely, we're focused on generating long-term value for shareholders and remain confident in the consumer market opportunity ahead of us as we progress through 2025."

Business Outlook

Mr. Murray continued, "We expect to continue to see more predictable performance that is aligned with the market for both of our businesses now that both our destocking and inventory reduction actions are completed. However, within NFB, although end user demand for our ProAV line of managed switches remains strong, we are facing lengthy lead times for supply, which will result in us under shipping in Q1 and this is reflected in our muted top line guidance. On the CHP side, we are seeing signs of market stability and expect to experience normal seasonality in the retail portion of this business. We expect revenue from the service provider channel to be approximately $15 million in Q1, down on a sequential basis. Accordingly, we expect first quarter net revenue to be in the range of $145 million to $160 million. In the first quarter we expect to maintain the gross margin performance experienced in the recent fourth quarter, however with our seasonally lower topline we expect our first quarter GAAP operating margin to be in the range of (16.4)% to (13.4)%, and non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of (10.0)% to (7.0)%. Our GAAP tax expense is expected to be in the range of $1.0 million to $2.0 million, and our non-GAAP tax benefit is expected to be in the range of $0.5 million to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2025."

A reconciliation between the Business Outlook on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the following table:

	Three months ending
	March 30, 2025
(In millions, except for percentage data)	Operating Margin Rate	Tax Expense (Benefit)

GAAP	(16.4)% - (13.4)%	$1.0 - $2.0
Estimated adjustments for¹:
Stock-based compensation expense	4.0%	-
Restructuring and other charges	2.4%	-
Non-GAAP tax adjustments	-	$(2.5)
Non-GAAP	(10.0)% - (7.0)%	$(1.5) - $(0.5)

¹Business outlook does not include estimates for any currently unknown income and expense items which, by their nature, could arise late in a quarter, including: litigation reserves, net; acquisition-related charges; impairment charges; restructuring and other charges and discrete tax benefits or detriments that cannot be forecasted (e.g., windfalls or shortfalls from equity awards or items related to the resolution of uncertain tax positions). New material income and expense items such as these could have a significant effect on our guidance and future GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement our unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income (expenses), net, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude adjustments for amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, intangibles impairment, restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, gain/loss on investments, net, gain on litigation settlements, and adjust for effects related to non-GAAP tax adjustments. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We compensate for the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such items are not, in our view, related to our ongoing operational performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. In addition, management's incentive compensation is determined using certain non-GAAP measures. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results "through the eyes" of management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our on-going operating results;
the ability to better identify trends in our underlying business and perform related trend analyses;
a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business; and
an easier way to compare our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of competitors that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The following are explanations of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures, as well as the reasons for excluding them in the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures:

Amortization of intangibles consists primarily of non-cash charges that can be impacted by, among other things, the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. We consider our operating results without these charges when evaluating our ongoing performance and forecasting our earnings trends, and therefore exclude such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the assessment of our operations excluding these costs is relevant to our assessment of internal operations and comparisons to the performance of our competitors.

Stock-based compensation expense consists of non-cash charges for the estimated fair value of stock options, restricted stock units, performance shares and shares under the employee stock purchase plan granted to employees. We believe that the exclusion of these charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact stock-based compensation expense has on our operating results.

Other items consist of certain items that are the result of either unique or unplanned events, including, when applicable: restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, and gain/loss on investments, net. It is difficult to predict the occurrence or estimate the amount or timing of these items in advance. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financial statements, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods. The amounts result from events that often arise from unforeseen circumstances, which often occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations. Therefore, the amounts do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our continuing business operations for the period in which they are incurred.

Non-GAAP tax adjustments consist of adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure on non-GAAP net income (loss). We believe providing financial information with and without the income tax effects relating to our non-GAAP financial measures, as well as adjustments for valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provides our management and users of the financial statements with better clarity regarding both current period performance and the on-going performance of our business. Non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit) is computed on a current and deferred basis with non-GAAP income (loss) consistent with use of non-GAAP income (loss) as a performance measure. The Non-GAAP tax provision (benefit) is calculated by adjusting the GAAP tax provision (benefit) for the impact of the non-GAAP adjustments, with specific tax provisions such as state income tax and Base-erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax recomputed on a non-GAAP basis, as well as adjustments for valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. The tax valuation allowance is a non-cash adjustment primarily reflecting our expectations of, and assumptions as to, future operating results and applicable tax laws, that are not directly attributable to the current quarter's operating performance. For interim periods, the non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit) is calculated based on the forecasted annual non-GAAP tax rate before discrete items and adjusted for interim discrete items. Included in the non-GAAP tax adjustments for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are adjustments to tax expense (benefit) related to differences between our prior forecasts and actual results for the twelve months ended.
