NETGEAR(r) Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

Oct. 27, 2021

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 2021--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 3, 2021.

* Third quarter 2021 net revenue of $290.2 million, within guidance, a decrease of 23.3% from the comparable prior year quarter. * Third quarter 2021 GAAP operating income of $12.9 million, or 4.5% of net revenue, as compared to $32.2 million, or 8.5% of net revenue, in the comparable prior year quarter. Third quarter 2021 non-GAAP operating income of $19.5 million, or 6.7% of net revenue, above guidance, as compared to $41.4 million, or 10.9% of net revenue, in the comparable prior year quarter. * Third quarter 2021 GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.31, as compared to $0.83 in the comparable prior year quarter. Third quarter 2021 non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.50, as compared to $1.13 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, "We delivered third quarter topline revenue within our guidance and came in above guidance on non-GAAP operating margin, primarily due to the performance of our SMB business. Although SMB products remained significantly supply constrained, we achieved SMB revenue growth of 3.4% quarter over quarter and 33% growth year over year. On the CHP side, the consumer retail WiFi market grew 15% above 2019 levels, which is lower than our prior expectations."

Mr. Lo continued, "NETGEAR's focus on premium WiFi, a higher margin segment of the market, remains our core long-term thesis as we enable the work from anywhere and hybrid work infrastructure of businesses and homes worldwide. We continue to see meaningful growth in our $1,000 and above high-end WiFi mesh systems. The recent introduction of our $1,500 Quadband WiFi 6E Orbi received enthusiastic support from the market, further validating our strategy of providing leading edge, uncompromising WiFi experiences to consumers. This super premium segment is a burgeoning opportunity that we intend to aggressively cultivate in the coming years, and it presents fertile ground with which to attach premium subscription services such as network security. We reached 552,000 paid subscription services at the end of Q3, and remain confident that we will reach our first major milestone of one million subscribers within the next three years. On the SMB front, we remain excited by the momentum of our ProAV switching business. As high-quality AV production and transmission move from analog to digital IP-based over ethernet connections, the number of applications of this technology increase, such as virtual studio production and digital umpiring. We believe this greenfield opportunity, together with the rise in sophisticated home office settings, will propel growth in our SMB business in the years to come."

Bryan Murray, Chief Financial Officer of NETGEAR, added, "During the third quarter of 2021, we repurchased approximately 953,000 shares of common stock for $32.5 million. In addition, our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an incremental 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, or approximately 10% of outstanding shares. We are confident in our ability to generate meaningful levels of cash, and plan to continue to opportunistically repurchase shares in future quarters."

Business Outlook

Mr. Murray continued, "We face a number of near-term headwinds, starting with lengthening product transit times due to numerous disruptions on the logistics front, which are impacting many industries. We are also seeing logistics costs rapidly increasing with ocean freight costs currently standing at eight times normal historical rates. In the third quarter, we worked with our retail channel partners to optimize their inventory levels. With the U.S. consumer WiFi market growth coming in below our prior expectations, these activities will continue into Q4. Additionally, we expect lower service provider revenue, which will be impacted by supply availability. All of this is expected to result in a sequential decline in revenue for the CHP business. In addition, revenue for our SMB business will continue to face supply constraints, limiting our ability to achieve its full topline potential. Together, these factors lead us to expect our fourth quarter net revenue to be in the range of $250 million to $265 million. With reduced leverage from our topline compounded with freight costs increasing significantly relative to Q3'21 and far above historical levels, our GAAP operating margin for the fourth quarter is expected to be in the range of (0.5)% to 0.5%, and non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be in the range of 2.0% to 3.0%. Our GAAP tax rate is expected to be approximately 80.0%, and our non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be 26.5% for the fourth quarter of 2021. While we are confident in our ability to provide guidance at this time, we do so with the caveat that considerable uncertainty remains in the market due to the COVID-19 pandemic and deteriorating supply chain conditions, and should unforeseen events occur, in particular challenges related to closure of our manufacturing partners operations, increased transportation delays into any of our regional distribution centers, or greater than expected freight or component costs, our actual results could differ from the foregoing guidance."

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

Newmaterial income and expense items such as these could have a significant effecton 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 income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share. These supplemental measures exclude adjustments for amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring and other charges, litigation reserves, net, gain/loss on investments, net, 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: change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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. We also believe providing financial information with and without the income tax effects relating to our non-GAAP financial measures provides our management and users of the financial statements with better clarity regarding the on-going performance of our business.
