iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT) reported its Q1 2025 financial results, showing significant revenue declines across all regions. Revenue fell to $101.6 million from $150.0 million in Q1 2024, with GAAP net loss of $87.3 million ($2.84 per share). The company reported decreased sales in the U.S. (-39.9%), EMEA (-26.9%), and Japan (-20.8%). Despite challenges, iRobot launched its largest new product rollout, including innovative Roomba® vacuums and 2-in-1 models, generating substantial media coverage reaching over 2.5 billion potential viewers. The company has reduced operating expenses through R&D and supply chain transformation, with most U.S. imports now coming from Vietnam subject to 10% tariffs. The Board continues its strategic review, including exploring potential sale options, while working with its primary lender to extend covenant waivers to June 6, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $112.3 million, with inventory reduced to $69.0 million.

L'azienda ha registrato una diminuzione delle vendite negli Stati Uniti (-39,9%), in EMEA (-26,9%) e in Giappone (-20,8%). Nonostante le difficoltà, iRobot ha lanciato il suo più grande lancio di nuovi prodotti, inclusi i innovativi aspirapolvere Roomba® e modelli 2-in-1, ottenendo una copertura mediatica significativa che ha raggiunto oltre 2,5 miliardi di potenziali spettatori. L'azienda ha ridotto le spese operative grazie alla trasformazione di ricerca e sviluppo e della catena di approvvigionamento, con la maggior parte delle importazioni statunitensi provenienti dal Vietnam soggette a tariffe del 10%. Il Consiglio di Amministrazione prosegue la revisione strategica, valutando anche possibili opzioni di vendita, mentre collabora con il principale finanziatore per estendere le deroghe ai covenant fino al 6 giugno 2025.

Insights

iRobot's Q1 shows severe revenue decline (-32.3%), major losses, and debt concerns despite new product launches; turnaround timeline uncertain.

iRobot's Q1 2025 results reveal substantial financial deterioration across all metrics. Revenue plummeted 32.3% year-over-year to $101.6 million, with significant regional declines (US -39.9%, EMEA -26.9%, Japan -20.8%). The company swung from an $8.6 million profit last year (artificially inflated by a $75 million Amazon merger termination fee) to an $87.3 million loss.

The financial situation appears increasingly precarious. Cash decreased from $138.0 million to $112.3 million quarter-over-quarter, representing a concerning burn rate given existing debt obligations. The extension of the debt covenant waiver to June 6 provides temporary breathing room but highlights financial constraints. Inventory reduction has been modest (from $76 million to $69 million) despite the focus on clearing legacy products.

The ongoing strategic review, including exploration of a potential sale, suggests the board may not see a viable independent path forward. This creates significant uncertainty for investors, compounded by management's decision to withhold formal 2025 guidance.

Management's turnaround strategy centers on the "iRobot Elevate" initiative and new product launches across global markets. However, the financial impact remains speculative, with management expecting sales traction "later in the year." The shift in product mix is concerning, with premium and mid-tier robots now representing 76% of sales versus 81% last year, potentially pressuring margins further.

The disconnect between current performance and management's optimistic outlook raises questions about the realistic timeline for recovery in a competitive market where iRobot faces additional headwinds from a 10% tariff on Vietnam imports.

Global New Product Rollout Continues with High-Impact Launch Events
Company Continues to Execute "iRobot Elevate" Turnaround Strategy

BEDFORD, Mass., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in consumer robots, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2025.

"We continued to make meaningful progress on our iRobot Elevate turnaround strategy in the first quarter and initiated the largest new product launch in iRobot's history," said Gary Cohen, iRobot CEO. "We are encouraged by the positive reactions from distributors, retailers and consumers, and expect to see an uptick in sales later in the year as availability of our suite of new, technologically innovative Roomba® vacuums and 2-in-1 vacuums and mops expands. As our Board of Directors continues its review of strategic alternatives for our business, we remain focused on executing our proven strategy and delivering the products our customers have come to know and love."

The Company has achieved a significant reduction in operating expenses and production costs by transforming its R&D and supply chain model to better leverage the Company's design capabilities and contract manufacturing partnerships. This reinvention of the way iRobot operates has allowed for a greater focus on innovation and improvements to product features, quality, and software. With respect to the current tariff conditions, the majority of the Company's U.S. imports come from Vietnam and are currently subject to a 10% tariff rate.

"Our first quarter performance reflects what has been a major transitional period for iRobot as we worked to clear our sales channels of legacy product inventory. As we continue to navigate a dynamic macro environment, we expect our new products and lower overall cost structure to drive improved profitability over the long term. We expect to see solid sales traction later this year to support year-over-year revenue growth in 2025, and we remain on track to deliver gross-margin expansion and improved cash flow from operations this year," concluded Cohen.

Marketing Highlights

  • In late March and early April 2025, iRobot announced the availability in North America and select European markets its suite of technologically innovative Roomba® vacuums and 2-in-1 vacuums and mops. Media coverage in North America and Europe was impressive with more than 200 pieces of media coverage in some of the world's most influential tech/consumer outlets, reaching a potential audience (total UVPM/Circulation/Reach) of more than 2.5 billion.
  • On April 16, 2025, iRobot introduced its new product lineup in Japan, engaging with more than 100 media outlets and influencers, resulting in more than 600 pieces of media coverage in one week.
  • On April 23, 2025, iRobot announced the availability of the Roomba® Max 705 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty™ Dock in North America and select European markets.
  • iRobot has continued to receive positive media coverage and product reviews around the world, including in Tom's Guide US, Engadget US, Vacuum Wars US, The Independent UK, La Voz de Galicia Spain, Les Numeriques France, Fuji News Network and All the Things.

Additional Financial Highlights 

  • As of March 29, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash totaled $112.3 million, compared with $138.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company elected to draw down $40 million from the restricted cash that is set aside for future repayment of its term loan, subject to limited ability of the Company to utilize such amount at the discretion of the lenders for the purchase of inventory. The Company repaid that amount to restricted cash during the first quarter of 2025.
  • As of March 29, 2025, the Company reduced inventory to $69.0 million, compared with $76.0 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • In the first quarter of 2025, revenue decreased 39.9% in the U.S., 26.9% in EMEA, and 20.8% in Japan, respectively, over the prior-year period. Excluding the unfavorable foreign currency impact, Japan revenue decreased 10% and EMEA revenue decreased 24% over the prior-year period. Q1 2025 revenue was impacted by additional promotional spending to stimulate sell-through of legacy products ahead of the Company's 2025 new product launch, along with ongoing competitive challenges that the Company is addressing with its new product launches.
  • Revenue from mid-tier robots (with an MSRP between $300 and $499) and premium robots (with an MSRP of $500 or more) represented 76% of total robot sales in the first quarter of 2025, compared with 81% in the same period last year.

Ongoing Strategic Review

As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors is conducting a review of strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, exploring a potential sale or strategic transaction, and refinancing the Company's debt. This review process is ongoing. 

The Board has not set a timetable for the conclusion of this review, and there can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transactions or outcomes. The Company does not intend to disclose developments relating to this process until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

The Company remains actively engaged in ongoing collaborative and constructive discussions with its primary lender while the Board continues its strategic review process. On April 30, 2025, the Company further amended its existing term loan to extend the covenant waiver under the term loan to June 6, 2025. 

In light of the ongoing strategic review, the Company will not be hosting a first quarter 2025 results earnings conference call and webcast, and will not be providing a 2025 outlook at this time.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this earnings release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We use non-GAAP measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets: Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets including completed technology, customer relationships, and reacquired distribution rights acquired in connection with business combinations as well as any non-cash impairment charges associated with intangible assets in connection with our past acquisitions. Amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Net Merger, Acquisition and Divestiture (Income) Expense: Net merger, acquisition and divestiture (income) expense primarily consists of transaction fees, professional fees, and transition and integration costs directly associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, including with respect to the iRobot-Amazon Merger. It also includes business combination adjustments including adjustments after the measurement period has ended. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the adjustment included the one-time net termination fee received as a result of the termination of the iRobot-Amazon Merger. The occurrence and amount of these costs will vary depending on the timing and size of these transactions. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation is a non-cash charge relating to stock-based awards. We exclude this expense as it is a non-cash expense, and we assess our internal operations excluding this expense and believe it facilitates comparisons to the performance of other companies.

Restructuring and Other: Restructuring charges are related to one-time actions associated with realigning resources, enhancing operational productivity and efficiency, or improving our cost structure in support of our strategy. Such actions are not reflective of ongoing operations and include costs primarily associated with severance and related costs, charges related to paused work unrelated to our core business, costs associated with the Chief Executive Officer transition and other non-recurring costs directly associated with resource realignments tied to strategic initiatives or changes in business conditions. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP measures when evaluating our recent and prospective business performance as such items vary significantly based on the magnitude of the action and do not reflect anticipated future operating costs. In addition, these charges do not necessarily provide meaningful insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business.

Gain/Loss on Strategic Investments: Gain/loss on strategic investments includes fair value adjustments, realized gains and losses on the sales of these investments and losses on the impairment of these investments. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP measures because we do not believe they correlate to the performance of our core business and may vary in size based on market conditions and events. We believe that the exclusion of these gains or losses provides investors with a supplemental view of our operational performance.

Debt Issuance Costs: Debt issuance costs include various incremental fees paid to third parties and warrants issued in connection with the issuance or amendment of debt. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Income Tax Adjustments: Income tax adjustments include the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments, calculated using the appropriate statutory tax rate for each adjustment. We regularly assess the need to record valuation allowances based on the non-GAAP profitability and other factors. We also exclude certain tax items, including the impact from stock-based compensation windfalls/shortfalls, which are not reflective of income tax expense incurred as a result of current period earnings. We believe disclosure of the income tax provision before the effect of such tax items is important to permit investors' consistent earnings comparison between periods.
