Management Commentary

"We delivered another strong year in 2023 despite continued global uncertainty, channel inventory destocking, and rising interest rates," said Snap One CEO John Heyman. "During the year, our team remained committed to our growth strategies, which included improving the end consumer experience with innovative service models, accelerating integrator partner platform adoption, and expanding operating margin. In support of this plan, we recently launched Control4 Connect and Control4 Assist, which we believe will enable the industry to evolve by significantly improving the end consumer's experience while building an important source of recurring service revenue, both for our partners and Snap One. Additionally, we launched many exciting new products, continued the expansion of our local branch network, and extended our position in key growth markets."

"With continued momentum in the fourth quarter, we closed 2023 with $1.061 billion of net sales, a $21.4 million net loss, and $117.2 million of adjusted EBITDA, which represents strong year-over-year adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to 11.0%," Heyman continued. "We continue to believe in our long-term growth algorithm, and our 2023 achievements, such as numerous marquee industry awards and expanded profitability, give us conviction that we have developed the right strategy."

Additional Revenue Disaggregation and Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs")

In addition to the measures presented in the consolidated financial statements, the Company also presents the following key performance indicators annually on a fiscal year-end basis. These metrics are:

Transacting Domestic Integrators
Spend per Transacting Domestic Integrator

In fiscal year 2023, Snap One transacted with 19.7 thousand domestic integrators who each spent approximately $45.9 thousand on average. On a year-over-year basis, the number of transacting domestic integrators increased 0.5%, while spend per transacting domestic integrator decreased 4.4%, reflecting channel inventory destocking impacts and the macro environment.

For additional detail, please reference the Financial Tables section at the end of this press release and the supplemental earnings presentation, which can be found at investors.snapone.com.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 6, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Company's previously announced $25.0 million stock repurchase program to extend its expiration date to December 31, 2024.

As of December 29, 2023, the Company had repurchased 296,467 shares of its common stock through this program for an aggregate amount of $3.1 million.

Fiscal 2024 Financial Outlook

"Looking ahead to 2024, we continue to be confident in our ability to drive growth," Heyman continued. "Still, we expect to see lingering headwinds in an uncertain macroeconomic environment, and we believe that it is prudent to continue to take a pragmatic approach to our 2024 outlook."

"With these factors in mind, we expect net sales in the fiscal year ending December 27, 2024 to range between $1.06 billion and $1.13 billion, which would represent flat year-over-year performance to an increase of 6.5% on an as-reported basis. For fiscal 2024, we expect adjusted EBITDA¹ to range between $120 million and $128 million, which would represent an increase of 2.4% to 9.2% compared to the prior fiscal year on an as-reported basis. While the macroeconomic uncertainty persists, we have a resilient business model, and we are excited to implement our strategy for 2024 and beyond."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and free cash flow. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial or operating performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use the following non-GAAP measures to help us monitor the performance of our business, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions:

Contribution margin, which is defined as net sales, less cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, divided by net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net loss, plus interest expense, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, other expense (income), net, further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, acquisition- and integration-related costs and certain other non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges as set forth in the reconciliation in this section below.

Adjusted net income, which is defined as net loss, plus amortization, further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, acquisition- and integration-related costs, (income) expense related to the interest rate cap and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges, including the estimated tax impacts of these adjustments, as set forth in the reconciliation in this section below.

Free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, which consist of purchases of property and equipment as well as purchases of information technology, software development, and leasehold improvements.

Contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and free cash flow are key measures used by management to understand and evaluate our financial performance, generate future operating plans, make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital, and analyze investments in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our products and services. We believe contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and free cash flow are useful measurements for analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our markets as they help identify underlying trends that could otherwise be masked by certain expenses that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance.

Contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and free cash flow have limitations as analytical tools. These measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, contribution margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences among the methods of calculation.

Certain prior period Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income add-back amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income totals.

¹ We have not reconciled the forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance included above to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to certain costs, the most significant of which are incentive compensation (including stock-based compensation), transaction-related expenses, and certain value measurements, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
