Continues to Make Progress on “iRobot Elevate” Strategy
Revises Full-year 2024 Outlook
BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in consumer robots, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 28, 2024.
“We continue to make progress on our turnaround strategy,” said Gary Cohen, iRobot’s CEO. “In the third quarter, we expanded our non-GAAP gross margin by 590 basis points year over year and improved our use of operating cash. However, our overall results did not meet the expectations we set in August, as persistent market segment and competitive headwinds impacted our sell-through performance. Although we now expect it will take more time to stabilize our revenue trend, we are on track to exceed our operating expense targets for the year, while at the same time continuing to invest in areas that are expected to drive growth.
“Our ongoing restructuring has fundamentally changed the way we innovate, develop and build our robots, which is central to improving our performance and generating long-term shareholder value. With the benefit of lower operating costs, we expect to enhance margins and improve profitability in 2025.
“As we move forward in this new chapter in iRobot’s history, one thing is abundantly clear: we have a powerful brand that will serve as the foundation for the turnaround of this Company. That brand power is at the heart of our turnaround strategy, iRobot Elevate. In executing that strategy, we are focused on providing our iconic brand with an improved platform to drive long-term profitable growth.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which relate to, among other things: the Company’s expectations regarding future financial performance, including with respect to fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 revenue, gross margin, operating (loss) income and net (loss) income per share, as well as fiscal year 2025 operating costs, margins and profitability; executing on the Company’s iRobot Elevate strategy; stabilization of revenue trends; and the Company’s business plans and strategies and the anticipated impact thereof. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates and projections about its business and industry, all of which are subject to change. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “expect,” “target,” similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and are not guarantees of future results, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the Company’s ability to obtain capital when desired on favorable terms, if at all; (ii) the Company’s ability to realize the benefits of its operational restructuring; (iii) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and various global conflicts on the Company’s business and general economic conditions; (iv) the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy; (v) the risk that disruptions from the operational restructuring will harm the Company’s business, including current plans and operations; (vi) the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel, including successfully navigating its leadership transition; (vii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the Company’s business; (viii) general economic and market developments and conditions; (ix) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which the Company operates; (x) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships that could affect the Company’s financial performance; (xi) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities; (xii) current supply chain challenges including the Red Sea conflict; (xiii) the financial strength of our customers and retailers; (xiv) the impact of tariffs on goods imported into the United States; and (xv) competition, as well as the Company’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are included under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC and any subsequent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filed from time to time and available at www.sec.gov. While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof. The Company does not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

iRobot Corporation
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 and commissions paid to third parties in connection with the issuance 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.

TAILG Unveils New Product S96MAX at EICMA, with High-Efficiency Integrated Motor and Fast Charging Technology
Published
56 mins agoon
November 6, 2024By
MILAN, Nov. 6, 2024 /CNW/ — As the world’s leading electric two-wheeler brand, TAILG launched its flagship new product S96MAX at the International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition (EICMA) on November 6. TAILG also showcased its new integrated motor and fast-charging technology, marking a significant breakthrough in the performance and range of electric two-wheelers.
Two Cutting-Edge Technologies Create a Buzz
In recent years, the global trend towards low-carbon travel and growing environmental awareness have driven rapid growth in the electric two-wheeler industry.
On November 6, TAILG invited Luca Talotta, a prominent figure in green mobility, as the product experience officer to unveil the S96MAX globally and introduce its new integrated motor and fast-charging technology.
The S96MAX is equipped with the industry’s first three-in-one integrated motor, the Star Ring Magnetic Motor. It features an axial flux motor structure that integrates the motor, transmission, and electronic control system. With an efficiency of up to 95%, it accelerates from 0 to 50 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 120 km/h.
Comprehensive data indicates that the S96MAX achieves a peak power of 15000W. Overall range has increased by 13.5%, energy recovery efficiency by 108%, and motor size and weight have been reduced by 50%.
Another highlight of S96MAX is the Nebula Fast Charging System, the industry’s first low-voltage, high-current, high-rate charging solution. TAILG’s custom fast-charging pile can charge up to 80% in just 10 minutes, with a charging power of up to 20 kW.
It significantly improves charging efficiency and reduces costs, and can be expanded to more electric two-wheeled models in the future. In just the time it takes to have a cup of coffee, the S96MAX is ready to hit the road again.
In addition, the S96MAX is equipped with various intelligent features, including a TFT smart dashboard with multi-screen interaction, 55W wireless charging, and 1080P front and rear HD cameras. This offers a new option for users who pursue high-quality mobility.
EICMA Accelerates TAILG’s Overseas Expansion
At the exhibition, TAILG showcased 12 different models, attracting global clients for collaboration. The urban commuting and high-speed electric motorcycles with EEC certification saw strong interest for partnerships, while the off-road series Y1, Y3, and Y5 attracted much attention.
From product exports to brand expansion abroad, TAILG strategically set the goal of “recreat another TAILG overseas” in 2023. From launching the TLG brand to establishing factories abroad and participating in major global industry exhibitions, TAILG has taken significant steps toward brand globalization.
With the commissioning of Vietnam Smart Manufacturing Base and the opening of Indonesia Operations Center, TAILG has established ten smart manufacturing bases globally, with an annual production capacity exceeding 15 million units. TAILG operates seven marketing centers worldwide, exporting products to over 90 countries and regions, and leading the two-wheeler industry in quality exports.
Regarding technological innovation, TAILG has rapidly built core technology and product competitiveness with industry-leading R&D centers such as the Global E-Mobility Programme Research Institute. It has launched achievements such as sodium electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered electric vehicles, driverless technology, fast charging and battery swapping technologies.
At the exhibition, the renowned American motorcycle brand ZERO unveiled the model Neutrino, jointly developed with TAILG. TAILG is committed to leading the industry’s high-quality development through technological innovation.
As a global pioneer of long-range electric vehicles and a partner of the United Nations in electric mobility, TAILG will continue to develop new energy solutions that lead the way in global low-carbon mobility.
