Q3 net revenue of $182.9 million, above the high end of guidance

Achieved GAAP and non-GAAP profitability, above the high end of guidance

Fifth consecutive quarter of free cash flow generation

Added more than $100 million to cash and cash equivalents to end Q3 with $395.7 million

NETGEAR, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), a global leader in intelligent networking solutions for businesses, homes, and service providers, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 29, 2024.

Third quarter 2024 net revenue of $182.9 million, a decrease of 7.6% from the comparable prior-year quarter.
Third quarter 2024 GAAP operating income of $95.8 million, or 52.4% of net revenue, as compared to operating loss of $0.6 million, or (0.3)% of net revenue, in the comparable prior-year quarter.
- Third quarter 2024 non-GAAP operating income of $1.6 million, or 0.9% of net revenue, as compared to non-GAAP operating income of $5.3 million, or 2.7% of net revenue, in the comparable prior-year quarter.
Third quarter 2024 GAAP net income per diluted share of $2.90, as compared to net loss per diluted share of $2.87 in the comparable prior-year quarter.
- Third quarter 2024 non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.17, as compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.23 in the comparable prior-year quarter.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments ended at $395.7 million, up $101.4 million from the previous quarter.

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 of NETGEAR, commented, "Today marks my nine-month anniversary with NETGEAR, and I am thrilled with our progress and the speed at which we are executing on our transformation. Q3 was an excellent quarter where we exceeded revenue and operating income guidance, achieved profitability, and increased our cash balance by over $100 million."

Mr. Prober continued, "Our ProAV business had another record quarter in end user sales, and we added over 30 new manufacturing partners to strengthen our differentiation and software leadership in this category. We also launched several innovative products, including the M7 Pro, the industry's first mobile hotspot that combines 5G and WIFI 7. With great executives joining the team and already driving positive early results, we are confident that we are positioning NETGEAR to fully capitalize on numerous market opportunities to generate long-term growth and profitability and we remain focused on creating long-term value for shareholders."

Bryan Murray, Chief Financial Officer of NETGEAR, added, "We continued to execute on our plan to reduce our inventory, which declined by $27.0 million sequentially and represents less than 4 months of inventory, including finished goods and components, for the first time in over 3 years. Gross margin for the quarter exceeded 30% and NFB topline grew over 10% year over year and returned to historical levels on contribution margin. In Q3 we also delivered a fifth consecutive quarter of free cash flow generation, even after removing the effect of the TP-Link settlement, and we exited the quarter with $395.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, a $101.4 million sequential increase. In addition, we repurchased approximately $1.5 million of NETGEAR common stock before being restricted from further repurchases in the quarter due to trading restrictions associated with our TP-Link settlement negotiations. We expect to resume our share repurchase program in Q4 as we continue to believe that share repurchases are an important part of our capital allocation plan."

Business Outlook

Mr. Murray continued, "As we experienced in the third quarter, we expect to continue to see more predictable performance that is aligned with the market for both of our businesses. Within NFB, we expect to experience continued growth led by our ProAV line of managed switches. While we are seeing the signs of market recovery in CHP, we expect increased promotional activity within our retail business due in part to the holiday period. As we were able to pull forward the launch of our M7 Pro mobile hotspot into the third quarter, we expect revenue from the service provider channel to be approximately $20 million in Q4, down slightly on a sequential basis. Accordingly, we expect fourth quarter net revenue to be in the range of $160 million to $175 million. We expect gross margins and operating margins to continue to be impacted by our inventory reduction efforts and higher than expected transportation costs due to a variety of factors, including the Red Sea shipping crisis. We also expect margins to be impacted from the increased promotional activities within our CHP retail business. Accordingly, we expect our fourth quarter GAAP operating margin to be in the range of (12.4)% to (9.4)%, and non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of (8.0)% to (5.0)%. Our GAAP tax benefit is expected to be in the range of $2.0 million to $3.0 million, and our non-GAAP tax benefit is expected to be in the range of $0.0 million to $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024."

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

	Three months ending
	December 31, 2024
(In millions, except for percentage data)	Operating Margin Rate	Tax Expense (Benefit)

GAAP	(12.4)% - (9.4)%	$(3.0) - $(2.0)
Estimated adjustments for¹:
Stock-based compensation expense	3.9%	-
Restructuring and other charges	0.5%	-
Non-GAAP tax adjustments	-	$2.0
Non-GAAP	(8.0)% - (5.0)%	$(1.0) - $0

Business 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.

The per share reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP may not aggregate due to both calculations utilizing a different share basis. The net loss per diluted share calculation uses a lower share count as it excludes potentially dilutive shares included in the net income per diluted share calculation.
