Financial Analyst

Impinj's first quarter performance signals a compelling start to 2024, with a top-line revenue of $76.8 million which not only outstrips the previous quarter but also overshadows the preliminary guidance offered. This suggests a robust demand for RAIN RFID solutions, potentially reflective of broader IoT adoption trends. A substantial GAAP net income of $33.3 million, translating to earnings of $1.10 per diluted share, indicates a strong profitability profile, considering the net income margin resides well above industry averages for similar technology sectors.

Adjusted EBITDA of $6.7 million and a non-GAAP net income figure of $6.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, provides investors with a measure of core profitability that excludes the volatility of financial metrics affected by non-recurring or non-operational factors. This distinction is vital for stakeholders to comprehend the recurring earning potential of Impinj. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation and a clear definition of these measures are vital for thorough financial analysis, ensuring transparency and aiding comparison with industry peers.

Market Research Analyst

The reported gross margin percentages—48.9% on a GAAP basis and 51.5% on a non-GAAP basis—provide insights into Impinj's cost management efficacy and pricing power within the RAIN RFID niche. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP margins underscores the impact of accounting adjustments and serves as an indicator of underlying business health. It is noteworthy that the gross margin aligns with industry norms for hardware-centric tech companies, reinforcing Impinj's competitive standing.

Moreover, the company's optimistic outlook for the second quarter despite uncertain market conditions suggests a confident stance on their business trajectory and market demand predictability. However, it is important for investors to be cautious of market volatility and potential external factors that could alter financial outcomes, as acknowledged by the company's forward-looking statements disclaimer. This forward-looking sentiment must be balanced with an awareness of market dynamics and potential shifts in the competitive landscape or supply chain challenges.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Impinj, Inc. (NASDAQ: PI), a leading RAIN RFID provider and Internet of Things pioneer, today released its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, our key non-GAAP performance measures include adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss), as defined below. We use adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) as key measures to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operating plans. We believe these measures provide useful information for period-to-period comparisons of our business to allow investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly termed non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding, if applicable for the periods presented, the effects of stock-based compensation; depreciation and amortization; restructuring costs; settlement income and related costs; induced conversion expense; other income, net; interest expense; acquisition related expense and related purchase accounting adjustments; and income tax benefit (expense). During the year ended December 31, 2023, we revised our definition of adjusted EBITDA to exclude acquisition related expenses, related purchase accounting adjustments, and amortization of intangibles in connection with our Voyantic Oy acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we further revised our definition of adjusted EBITDA to exclude settlement income. We have excluded these items because we do not believe they reflect our core operations and us excluding them enables more consistent evaluation of our operating performance. The revision to our definition of adjusted EBITDA did not impact adjusted EBITDA for any previously reported periods because there was no impact of a similar nature in such prior periods affecting comparability.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

We define non-GAAP net income as net income (loss), excluding, if applicable for the periods presented, the effects of stock-based compensation; depreciation and amortization; restructuring costs; settlement income and related costs; induced conversion expense; acquisition related expense and related purchase accounting adjustments; and the corresponding income tax impacts of adjustments to net income (loss).

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we revised our definition of non-GAAP net income to adjust for acquisition related expenses, related purchase accounting adjustments, and amortization of intangibles in connection with our Voyantic Oy acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we further revised our definition of non-GAAP net income to exclude settlement income. The revisions to our definition of non-GAAP net income did not impact non-GAAP net income for any previously reported periods because there was no impact of a similar nature in such prior periods affecting comparability.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2023, we revised our definition of non-GAAP net income (loss) to adjust for income tax effects of adjustments to net income (loss), calculated at the statutory rate for current and historical periods. We have revised the prior period amounts to conform to our current period presentation.
