| Statement |
|---|
| As a result, we exited 2022 with a more robust ecommerce distribution channel, an all intelligent product portfolio, and improved balance sheet |
| It also allows us to review on our hardware margins and improve our hardware margins along the line as well |
| Importantly, we expect this will also accelerate our path to achieve sustainable profitability on an Adjusted EBITDA basis |
| With the launch of Support+, our premium support subscription service, we will establish a new revenue stream which we believe will have an incremental positive impact to our gross margin beginning near the end of Q3 and as we head into Q4 |
| The subscription service offers a greatly enhanced end-to-end customer support experience |
| It is with great confidence that I tell you our balance sheet is in a much improved position than it was six months ago |
| Excellent job, gentlemen |
| More importantly, though, this new agreement provides us additional borrowing capacity on a global basis at more favorable terms and reduces our overall financing risk |
| These features address the top pain points for consumers and create a highly attractive bundle of solutions that gives consumers peace of mind and more control around their household |
| We have also done everything in terms of product portfolio and the new revenue streams, which allow us to get higher gross margins, and remove some of the sunk cost that we would have with realigning our portfolio |
| Excellent job on obviously selling some of your inventory and getting it down |
| At midyear, we initiated a number of steps to advance our competitive position, improve working capital management, and better align our business with the realities of the consumer market |
| Across the market, we continue to see consumer preference on online purchasing but are maintaining our market-leading position on Amazon with 40% market share in the networking category |
| I believe most of our inventory that we do have on hand, which is long in the tooth inventory, we’ll be able to get rid of it before end of this year based on our current forecast that we have, so we feel confident that we should be able to continue to drive that inventory down to a required number that we want before end of this year |
| Through a series of actions that includes workforce reductions as well as reductions in professional services and other spend categories, we have better aligned the size and scale of our business with the realities of current market and economic environments |
| More importantly, though, our working capital ratio improved from 2.0 at the end of Q2 to 2.1 at end of Q4 |
| Then obviously it’s beneficial to us at this time as we are selling underneath the Motorola branded name, so we do have a lot of--and there’s a lot of benefits to the Motorola arrangement |
| We still have a few other accounts to close this year, but we still have the confidence that we’ll be able to get them done here in the near future as well, so those are all of the places where I believe they’ll help us grow with where we are on this year and next year--I should say last year to this year, sorry |
| We remain vigilant in our efforts to strengthen our balance sheet |
| I think that’s where some of the other growth and the places that we have won that I mentioned on the call also will help with incremental volume that we didn’t have last year |
| We’re doing everything in terms of trying to get there before end of the year, but that’s again something that [indiscernible] our goal is always to improve our profitability going down the path, but we’re taking every measure in the meantime to execute our road to get there |
| At the same time too, our cost level was still--historical cost levels were still embedded in Q1, as Mehul mentioned, so as we exit through Q1, we’ll see that improvement, but Q1 will probably be more reflective of what we’ve seen in the past |
| Keep up the good work |
| The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the market price per share of the company’s common stock to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ capital markets |
| We do have, as I mentioned on the call, first and foremost is the execution of our software strategy that we continue to deliver |
| We have achieved a maintenance level of accounts payable and AP turnover that is more adequately aligned with the size of our business |
| Subsequent to year end, we initiated additional cost reduction actions that we expect will generate annual cost savings of approximately 20%, split evenly between cost of goods sold and operating expenses |
| Our net revenue for the fourth quarter totaled $10.6 million, which is down 23.2% over the prior quarter, and deferred revenue increased to $1.4 million from $1.3 million in the prior quarter |
| Charlie Lacario Great, thank you |
| All those, we executed towards second half of the year last year, we have a full year of growth |
| Statement |
|---|
| Revenue for the year was $50.6 million, a decline of 9% as challenging economic conditions persist and traditional retailers continue to work through high inventories that were stockpiled to combat supply chain risks |
| For the quarter, our gross margin was 19.9%, down from 22.3% in the prior quarter |
| The ISP business, which currently provides customers unlimited free-of-charge support for purchases, has been a drag on our margins and cash flow |
| Fourth quarter revenue was up 1.4% year-over-year and down 23.2% sequentially to $10.6 million |
| Our net loss was $4.5 million for Q4 2022, or negative $0.10 per basic and diluted share |
| For the quarter, our Adjusted EBITDA was negative $3.9 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of negative $3.2 million in the prior quarter |
| Our fourth quarter net sales were impacted by consumer demand and brick and mortar retailers adjusting their on-hand inventory |
| This compares with a net loss of $4.1 million or negative $0.09 per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2022 |
| As expected, the actions we have taken to improve working capital efficiency resulted in lower cash balance at the end of the year compared to prior quarter end |
| Excluding an inventory reserve charge of $1.2 million, our gross margin continues to approach 30% despite negative impact from inflation and component cost increases |
| The first question is the inventory that’s left, is it still marketable? I know technology changes fast and I know that you guys have a decent amount of inventory left |
