Poly Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results
Publish Time: 10 Jan, 2025

 

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Poly (NYSE: POLY), a global outfitter of professional-grade audio and video technology, today announced first quarter results for the period ended July 2, 2022.

 

 

Highlights for the first quarter include:

  • GAAP revenues for fiscal Q1 were $416M, a 4% year-over-year decline driven primarily by supply chain constraints impacting all product categories. Headset revenue of $176M and Voice revenue of $65M grew 2% and 7% year over year, respectively, while Video revenues of $123M and Services revenue of $52M declined -11% and -14%, respectively.
  • Geographically for fiscal Q1, Americas revenue of $225M was down 1%, EMEA revenue of $120M was down 5%, and APAC revenue of $71M was down 8% from the prior year.
  • Fiscal Q1 GAAP gross margins of 40.4% and non-GAAP gross margins of 44.9% were fundamentally flat from the prior year quarter, as higher average selling prices were offset by unfavorable product mix and continued elevated component and logistics costs associated with supply chain disruptions.
  • Poly continues to be recognized for its industrial design, industry leading technology, and product innovation. Recent notable awards include: The Red Dot Design Award for the Poly Sync 10 speakerphone and Poly Studio X70; Compass Intel Award for the Voyager Focus 2; iF Design Award for the Poly Studio E70, Poly Studio X70, Voyager Focus 2, Sync 10, and Poly Studio R30; ISE Best of Show Award for the Poly Sync Series, Poly Studio X70 and Studio E70; InfoComm Best of Show Award for the Poly Studio R30; rAVe Reader's Choice Award for the Poly Studio Series; Golden Bridge Award for the Poly Studio E70; TMCnet UC Product of the Year for the Poly Studio E70; and Pandemic Tech Innovation Awards for the Poly Studio P Series.

Business Outlook

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of operating results, including non-GAAP net revenues, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP diluted EPS. These non-GAAP measures are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP measures to exclude certain non-cash transactions and activities that are not reflective of our ongoing core operations, as further described below. We believe the use of each of these non-GAAP measures provides meaningful supplemental information in assessing our operating performance and liquidity across reporting periods on a consistent basis and are used by management in evaluating financial performance and in strategic planning. These non-GAAP measures may differ from those used by other companies and are not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current year presentation.
