Established Key Partnerships to Support Growth Through 2025

Expanded Customer Base with New Multi-System Win

Wilmington, Massachusetts (November 21, 2022) — Symbotic Inc. (Nasdaq: SYM), a leader in A.I.-enabled robotics technology for the supply chain, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 24, 2022. Symbotic posted revenue of $244.4 million, a net loss of $53.3 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss¹ of $20.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In the same quarter of fiscal 2021, Symbotic had revenue of $91.7 million, a net loss of $31.5 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss¹ of $24.0 million.

For the full fiscal year 2022, Symbotic reported revenue of $593.3 million, reflecting 136% growth year over year, a loss of $139.1 million, and an adjusted EBITDA loss¹ of $89.8 million.

The company also announced that Symbotic Chairman of the Board and current President & Chief Product Officer, Rick Cohen, will return to his role as Chief Executive Officer. Michael Loparco will serve as a Special Advisor to the Board for a period of transition.

“Reflecting on our critical next phase of growth, we determined that a single point of leadership is the best way to lead Symbotic. Michael helped us scale for future growth and advanced our partner network and operations,” said Rick Cohen. “We thank him for his contributions and wish him success in his future endeavors.”

“Symbotic achieved record quarterly revenue with accelerated system installations during the fourth quarter. We are excited to have established multiple worldwide outsourcing partnerships to support our robust growth plans through 2025, and we expanded our customer base with a new multi-system win,” continued Rick Cohen.

“Fourth quarter 2022 revenue grew 167% and adjusted EBITDA margin¹ improved by more than 14 percentage points, compared to the same period a year ago,” said Symbotic Chief Financial Officer Tom Ernst. “We initiated a record five system deployments during the fourth quarter as we continue to rapidly scale operations and deliver for our customers.” “For our first quarter of fiscal 2023, we expect revenue of $170 million to $200 million, more than double our first quarter fiscal 2022 revenue. We also expect an adjusted EBITDA² loss of $21 million to $25 million reflecting reduced system cost, offset by continued investments in innovation and scaling of our business.”

Webcast Information

Symbotic will host a webcast today at 5:00 pm EST to discuss its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 results. The webcast link is: https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/go/Symbotic-Q4-2022

####

¹  Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue) are non-GAAP measures as defined below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.” See the tables below for reconciliations to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure.

²  Symbotic is not providing guidance for net loss, which is the most comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA, because information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to net loss is unavailable to it without unreasonable effort. Symbotic is not able to provide reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of Symbotic’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for stock-based compensation.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Symbotic reports its financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). This press release contains financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP”), including adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool as they do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures Symbotic uses may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-GAAP measures are provided as a supplement to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to provide additional information regarding the results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, in isolation from, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are reconciled to their closest reported U.S. GAAP measures. Symbotic recommends that investors review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.

Symbotic defines adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as GAAP net loss excluding the following items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets; unit-based compensation; business combination transaction expenses; and other non-recurring items that may arise from time to time. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue. In addition to Symbotic’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Symbotic believes that adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful in evaluating the performance of Symbotic’s business because they highlight trends in its core business.

Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in Symbotic’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 29, 2022 and amended on July 20, 2022. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and Symbotic believes there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in understanding our financial performance, financial position and cash flows as of and for periods ended on certain dates and to present information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future, and the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because of their inherent uncertainty and to appreciate the limited purposes for which they are being used by management. While we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there is no assurance that such assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on the beliefs, estimates, expectations and opinions of management on that date. Symbotic is not under any obligation, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports that Symbotic has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in Symbotic’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 29, 2022, and amended on July 20, 2022 and those identified elsewhere in this press release, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: failure to realize the benefits expected from the business combination between SVF Investment Corp. 3 (“SVF”) and Symbotic (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 12, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among SVF, Warehouse Technologies LLC, Symbotic Holdings LLC and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp. that closed on June 7, 2022; the effects of pending and future legislation; and risks related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of Symbotic.

Any financial projections in this press release or discussed during the webcast are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Symbotic’s control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Symbotic believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that Symbotic, or its representatives, considered or considers the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Symbotic and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Symbotic. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release and other reports we file with, or furnish to, the SEC and other regulatory agencies and made by our directors, officers, other employees and other persons authorized to speak on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
