NETGEAR, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative networking and Internet connected products to consumers and businesses, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended October 1, 2023.

Third quarter 2023 net revenue of $197.8 million, a decrease of 20.7% from the comparable prior-year quarter.
Third quarter 2023 GAAP operating loss of $0.6 million, or (0.3)% of net revenue, as compared to operating loss of $2.2 million, or (0.9)% of net revenue, in the comparable prior-year quarter.
- Third quarter 2023 non-GAAP operating income of $5.3 million, or 2.7% of net revenue, as compared to operating income of $1.8 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, in the comparable prior-year quarter.
Third quarter 2023 GAAP net loss per diluted share of $2.87, as compared to net income per diluted share of $0.10 in the comparable prior-year quarter.
- Third quarter 2023 non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.23, as compared to net income per diluted share of $0.21 in the comparable prior-year quarter.

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

Patrick Lo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NETGEAR, commented, "I'm very pleased with our performance in the third quarter, as NETGEAR delivered results that exceeded our guidance ranges for both the top and bottom lines. Our revenue performance during the seasonally strong back-to-school quarter was bolstered by strong demand for our premium CHP products in both the retail and service provider channels, namely our Orbi 8 and Orbi 9 and 5G mobile hotspots. We are excited by the market's reception to the launch of our industry-leading WiFi 7 products, the Orbi 97x mesh system at $2299 and the Nighthawk RS700 router at $699, which began shipping in the final two weeks of the quarter. Furthermore, with the retail networking market showing signs that it is stabilizing, we are encouraged by our retail channel partners maintaining, rather than depleting, their inventories. On the SMB side, we continue to be encouraged by growth in our ProAV managed switch products. However, the uncertain macro environment created by high interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and stagnant or negative GDP growth in major markets such as Greater China, Germany and Japan weighed on our SMB business. Accordingly, our SMB channel partners continue to reduce their inventory carrying levels, which will limit our top line potential for this business in the coming quarters."

Mr. Lo continued, "We grew our paid subscribers to 844,000 in the third quarter, which drove service revenue up by 25% year over year, and remain on track to end the year with 875,000 paid subscribers. Our CHP strategy of focusing on the high margin, premium end of the market and growing service revenue is proving to be effective in improving the gross margin of our CHP business. As a result, our overall non-GAAP gross margin reached 35% in the third quarter."

Bryan Murray, Chief Financial Officer of NETGEAR, added, "We made tremendous progress in reducing our own inventory levels in the third quarter, which helped us generate meaningful cash in the quarter. We expect this trend to continue over the next couple of quarters as we aim to return inventory levels to pre-pandemic levels of three to four months. We also expect these efforts to continue to lead to further cash generation."

Business Outlook

Mr. Murray continued, "We expect to continue to experience strong underlying demand in the premium portion of our CHP product portfolio, riding on the success of our WiFi 7 launch well into 2024. We are also encouraged that our retail channel partners are now maintaining rather than depleting their inventories. However, as interest rates remain high, we will continue to work with our SMB channel partners to optimize their inventory carrying levels during the next few quarters. Accordingly, we expect CHP to be approximately flat sequentially, in line with market seasonality, and SMB to be down sequentially which would result in overall fourth quarter net revenue in the range of $175 million to $190 million. As we continue to make meaningful progress in reducing our own inventory levels, we will be consuming older, higher cost inventory. We expect we will be back to normal inventory levels and normal inventory costs by the middle of next year. Accordingly, we expect fourth quarter GAAP operating margin to be in the range of (4.4)% to (1.4)%, and non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of (2.0)% to 1.0%. Our GAAP tax expense is expected to be in the range of $1 million to $2 million, and our non-GAAP tax expense is expected to be in the range of $0 to $1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. We expect we will continue to generate meaningful cash in Q4 and beyond."

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

	Three months ending
	December 31, 2023
(in millions, except for percentage data)	Operating Margin Rate	Tax Expense (Benefit)

GAAP	(4.4)% - (1.4)%	$1.0 - $2.0
Estimated adjustments for¹:
Stock-based compensation expense	2.4%	-
Non-GAAP tax adjustments	-	$(1.0)
Non-GAAP	(2.0)% - 1.0%	$0.0-$1.0

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 other operating expenses, net, non-GAAP total operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income (expenses), net, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude adjustments for amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment, 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: goodwill impairment, intangibles impairment, restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, gain on litigation settlements, 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 nine months ended October 1, 2023, are adjustments to tax expense related to changes in our forecasts and the effects of a valuation allowance computed in accordance with GAAP.
