POLY - Poly Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2022 Financial Results

May, 27 2022 08:00 AM Polypid Ltd

PR Newswire

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. , May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Poly (NYSE: POLY), a global outfitter of professional-grade audio and video technology, today announced fourth quarter results for the period ended April 2, 2022 .

Highlights for the fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2022 include:

On March 28, 2022 , Poly announced it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with HP, Inc. (NYSE: HPQ), a leading global provider of workplace solutions, in an all-cash transaction for $40 per share, implying a total enterprise value of approximately $3.3 billion , inclusive of Poly's net debt.
GAAP revenues for fiscal Q4 were $421M , a 12% year-over-year decline driven primarily by supply chain constraints impacting all product categories. Voice revenue grew 13% year over year but was offset by declines in Headsets and Video of -17% and -11%, respectively. Services revenue declined 20% from the prior year quarter.
For full fiscal year 2022 non-GAAP revenues declined -3% driven primarily by supply chain constraints. Video revenue of $485M was up 14% and Voice revenue of $247M was up 12% from the prior year. This was offset by Headset and Services revenues of $723M and $230M , which were down 12% and 15%, respectively, from the prior year.
Geographically for fiscal Q4, Americas revenue of $214M was down 8%, EMEA revenue of $144M was down 16%, and APAC revenue of $64M was down 14% from the prior year. For full-year fiscal 2022, Americas revenue of $890M was up 2%, EMEA revenue of $516M was down 11%, and APAC revenue of $279M was down 5% from the prior year.
Fiscal Q4 Non-GAAP gross margins of 43.9% were down 450bps from the prior year quarter. For the full year of fiscal 2022, gross margins declined 440bps, to 45.1%. The fiscal Q4 and full year gross margin declines were driven primarily by increased logistics costs and spot market purchases associated with global supply chain disruptions.
Poly continues to expand its portfolio of smart devices with the introduction of the Poly Studio R30 video bar, the Poly Sync 10 speakerphone, and enhancements to the Poly Lens platform. These solutions, combined with Poly DirectorAI smart camera technology, help employees look and sound their best, while employers can maintain focus on delivering meeting equity for hybrid and office workers alike.

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 discrete tax benefit associated with an IP transfer between wholly-owned subsidiaries, changes in uncertain tax positions, and the full valuation allowance on United States federal and state deferred tax assets.
