Poly Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results

August 11, 2022

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Poly (NYSE: POLY), a global outfitter of professional-grade audio and video technology, today announced first quarter results for the period ended July 2, 2022.

Highlights for the first quarter include:

  • GAAP revenues for fiscal Q1 were $416M, a 4% year-over-year decline driven primarily by supply chain constraints impacting all product categories. Headset revenue of $176M and Voice revenue of $65M grew 2% and 7% year over year, respectively, while Video revenues of $123M and Services revenue of $52M declined -11% and -14%, respectively.
  • Geographically for fiscal Q1, Americas revenue of $225M was down 1%, EMEA revenue of $120M was down 5%, and APAC revenue of $71M was down 8% from the prior year.
  • Fiscal Q1 GAAP gross margins of 40.4% and non-GAAP gross margins of 44.9% were fundamentally flat from the prior year quarter, as higher average selling prices were offset by unfavorable product mix and continued elevated component and logistics costs associated with supply chain disruptions.
  • Poly continues to be recognized for its industrial design, industry leading technology, and product innovation. Recent notable awards include: The Red Dot Design Award for the Poly Sync 10 speakerphone and Poly Studio X70; Compass Intel Award for the Voyager Focus 2; iF Design Award for the Poly Studio E70, Poly Studio X70, Voyager Focus 2, Sync 10, and Poly Studio R30; ISE Best of Show Award for the Poly Sync Series, Poly Studio X70 and Studio E70; InfoComm Best of Show Award for the Poly Studio R30; rAVe Reader's Choice Award for the Poly Studio Series; Golden Bridge Award for the Poly Studio E70; TMCnet UC Product of the Year for the Poly Studio E70; and Pandemic Tech Innovation Awards for the Poly Studio P Series.

Business Outlook

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of operating results, including non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP diluted EPS. These non-GAAP measures are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP measures to exclude certain non-cash transactions and activities that are not reflective of our ongoing core operations, as further described below. We believe the use of each of these non-GAAP measures provides meaningful supplemental information in assessing our operating performance and liquidity across reporting periods on a consistent basis and are used by management in evaluating financial performance and in strategic planning. These non-GAAP measures may differ from those used by other companies and are not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current year presentation.

Non-GAAP Adjustments

  • Purchase accounting amortization: Represents the amortization of purchased intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Polycom on July 2, 2018.
  • Deferred revenue purchase accounting: Represents the impact of fair value purchase accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue recorded in connection with the acquisition of Polycom on July 2, 2018. The Company's deferred revenue primarily relates to Services revenue associated with non-cancelable maintenance support on hardware devices which are typically billed in advance and recognized ratably over the contract term as those services are delivered. This adjustment represents the amount of additional revenue that would have been recognized during the period absent the write-down to fair value required under purchase accounting guidance.
  • Stock compensation expense: Represents the non-cash expense associated with the Company's grant of stock-based awards to employees and non-employee directors.
  • Acquisition costs: Represents charges incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement with HP, such as advisory, legal and accounting fees.
  • Restructuring and other related charges: Represents costs associated with restructuring plans and reorganization actions aimed at improving the Company's overall cost structure, realigning resources consistent with its global strategy, and reducing expenses to enable strategic investments in revenue growth. These costs are not reflective of ongoing operations and are primarily associated with reductions in the Company's workforce, facility related charges due to the closure or consolidation of offices, and other related costs, including legal and advisory services.
  • Deferred compensation mark to market: Represents gains and losses driven by the remeasurement of assets and liabilities associated with the Company's deferred compensation plans. Gains and losses on plan liabilities are recognized within operating expenses, while the offsetting gains and losses on plan assets are recognized within other non-operating income, net.
  • Loss, net on litigation settlements: The Company may be involved in various litigation, claims and proceedings that result in payments or recoveries from such proceedings. The related gains and losses incurred are excluded as they are not reflective of ongoing operations.
  • Income tax effects: Represents the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments and other adjustments, depending on the nature of the underlying items. The exclusion of the above-mentioned items eliminates the effect of certain non-recurring and unusual tax items that do not necessarily reflect the Company's long-term operations. The income tax effects for unusual tax items primarily represents the impact of the tax benefit associated with an IP transfer between wholly-owned subsidiaries, changes in uncertain tax positions, excess stock tax benefit, and the full valuation allowance on United States federal and state deferred tax assets.
