Impinj Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

SEATTLE, WA, Apr. 29, 2019– Impinj, Inc. (NASDAQ: PI), a leading provider and pioneer of RAIN RFID solutions for identifying, locating and authenticating everyday items, today released its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.  

"First-quarter results were strong, with revenue, net loss and adjusted EBITDA loss outperforming our guidance and revenue a record for a first-quarter," said Chris Diorio, Impinj co-founder and CEO. "We also announced our new Impinj M700 endpoint IC family, which I believe to be our most exciting new-product introduction in a decade. The Impinj M700 dramatically shrinks chip size while increasing the range, reliability and read speed of RAIN RFID systems. It demonstrates, yet again, Impinj’s innovation, competitive advantages and industry leadership."

First Quarter 2019 Financial Summary

• Revenue of $33.1 million

• GAAP gross margin of 48.0%; non-GAAP gross margin of 50.0%

• GAAP net loss of $7.1 million, or loss of $0.33 per diluted share using 21.5 million shares

• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.3 million

• Non-GAAP net loss of $2.4 million, or loss of $0.11 per diluted share using 21.5 million shares

A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables below. Additionally, descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” sections below.

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, we use non-GAAP financial measures by financial statement line items that exclude, if applicable for the periods presented, the effects of stock-based compensation, depreciation, investigation costs, restructuring costs and other expenses that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance. Our key non-GAAP liquidity and performance measures include adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss), see definitions of such 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 excluding those income and expenses inherent in calculating adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as it does for 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 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; investigation costs; restructuring costs; other income, net; interest expense; and income tax benefit (expense).

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding, if applicable for the periods presented, the effects of stock-based compensation; depreciation; investigation costs; restructuring costs; amortization of debt issuance costs; and non-cash income tax benefit (expense). We exclude the non-cash portion of income taxes because of our ability to offset a substantial portion of future income tax liabilities by utilizing our deferred tax assets, which comprise primarily federal net operating loss carryforwards and federal research and experimentation credit carryforwards.
