Sustained Market Demand, Combined with Agile Response to Global Supply Chain Pressures, Drives Continued, Strong Operating Results, Highlighted by 15% Increase in Net Sales

Company Raises Earnings Outlook for Fiscal 2021

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snap One Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:SNPO) ("Snap One," the "Company," "we" or "our"), a provider of smart living products, services, and software to professional integrators, reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended September 24, 2021.

Recent Operational Highlights

Management Commentary

"Over the last few months, our business has continued to show great resiliency, as we've weathered industry and global macroeconomic headwinds while making considerable progress on our organizational goals," said Snap One CEO John Heyman. "During the fiscal third quarter, we continued to execute against our long-term growth strategy in several key areas: we expanded our omni-channel distribution presence through the opening of three additional local branches, released a major upgrade to our Control4 OS 3 software, updated our OvrC remote management platform, launched several new product offerings, and on a year-over-year basis increased our domestic transacting integrator count and spend per integrator in the residential, security and commercial markets."

"Our team's commitment to operational efficiency, along with strategic inventory management, positioned us to serve integrator demand and exceed our expectations for the quarter. We delivered a record performance of $260.7 million in net sales, representing 15% year-over-year growth. While we expect these supply chain challenges to persist, the powerful secular demand trends for smart living solutions give us confidence in our ability to successfully execute through the remainder of the year and beyond."

Fiscal Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Results compare 2021 fiscal third quarter end (September 24, 2021) to 2020 fiscal third quarter end (September 25, 2020) unless otherwise indicated.

Fiscal 2021 Financial Outlook

Snap One remains confident in the continued demand for its products by integrator customers against the backdrop of ongoing global supply chain challenges and has considered this uncertainty when developing its estimates. The Company is updating its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 net sales guidance to a range between $990 million and $1 billion, which would represent an increase of 21.6% to 22.8% compared to the prior fiscal year on an as reported basis.

The Company has raised its adjusted EBITDA expectations to range between $106 million and $110 million, which would represent an increase of 12.2% to 16.5% compared to the prior fiscal year on an as reported basis.

Snap One intends to use its website as a means of disclosing material, non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.

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, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions:

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

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, plus interest expense, net, income tax benefit, depreciation, and amortization, further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, acquisition- and integration-related costs and certain other non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges as described below.

Adjusted net income is defined as net loss plus amortization further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation, acquisition- and integration-related costs and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges, including the estimated tax impacts of these adjustments.

Free cash flow 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, trends and 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.

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 fair 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.

(a)Represents non-recurring expense related to payments to certain pre-IPO owners in lieu of their participation in the TRA. Management does not believe such costs are indicative of our ongoing operations as they are one-time awards specific to the establishment of the TRA.
(b)Represents expenses related to professional fees in connection with preparation for our IPO.
(c)Represents noncash gains and losses recorded from fair value adjustments related to contingent value right liabilities. Contingent value right ("CVR") liabilities represent potential obligations to the prior sellers in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company by investment funds managed by Hellman & Friedman in August 2017 and are based on estimates of expected cash payments to the prior sellers based on specified targets for the return on the original capital investment.
(d)Represents expenses incurred related to deferred payments to employees associated with our Control4 acquisition and other historical acquisitions. The deferred payments are cash retention awards for key personnel from the acquired companies and are expected to be paid to employees through 2023. Management does not believe such costs are indicative of our ongoing operations as they are one-time awards specific to acquisitions and are incremental to our typical compensation costs incurred and we do not expect such costs to be reflective of future increases in base compensation expense.
(e)Represents an adjustment related to the fair value of deferred revenue related to the Control4 acquisition.
(f)Represents costs directly associated with acquisitions and acquisition-related integration activities. For the three months and nine months ended September 25, 2020, the costs relate primarily to third-party consultant and information technology integration costs directly related to the Company's acquisition of Control4 in August 2019. These costs also include certain restructuring costs (e.g., severance) and other third-party transaction advisory fees associated with the acquisitions.
(g)Represents non-recurring expenses related to consulting, restructuring, and other expenses which management believes are not representative of our operating performance.
(h)Represents the tax impacts with respect to each adjustment noted above after taking into account the impact of permanent differences using the statutory tax rate related to the applicable federal and foreign jurisdictions and the blended state tax rate.
