MANCHESTER, NH, May 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire - Minim, Inc. (NASDAQ: MINM), the creator of intelligent WiFi software and Motorola home networking products under an exclusive global brand license, today reported first quarter financial results for the period ended March 31, 2022.

Q1 2022 Financial Highlights:

Recent Business Highlights

Gray Chynoweth, Chief Executive Officer of Minim, said, “We are encouraged by our first quarter results. As expected, revenue rebounded from the prior quarter on strong performance with key retailers across our product lines. Importantly, we are navigating inflationary and supply chain pressures through strategic allocation of working capital, including stringent inventory management and targeted R&D investment that will enable us to bring more intelligent products to market in 2022 and further drive our business transformation.”

Net revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was $13.3 million, up 27% quarter-over-quarter compared to $10.5 million in Q4 2021 and a decline of 11% compared to record peak-pandemic revenue of $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. 

Net loss in the first quarter of 2022 was $2.5 million, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $546,000, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2021. Sequentially, this compares to a net loss of $3.2 million, or ($0.07) per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022 was ($1.7) million when adjusted for $0.6 million in stock-based compensation expense and $0.1 million of revenue bookings, a ($2.1) million year-over-year decrease compared to $380,000 in the first quarter of 2021. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, this represents a $1.4 million improvement compared to ($3.1) million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

At the end of Q1 2022, the company had $10.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash compared to $13.1 million at the end of 2021. The company had $1.1 million in availability for borrowing under its $25.0 million credit facility at March 31, 2022.

Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2022 was $832,000 compared with $735,000 as of December 31, 2021.

Business Outlook

“While our industry has seen a return to pre-pandemic sales levels, we’re excited about the vast opportunity in our healthy, massive market,” said Nicole Zheng, President and CMO of Minim. “Consumers continue to demand advanced connectivity solutions, evidenced by WiFi 6 mesh adoption, which grew from 15% of purchases to 60% of purchases in 2021. Consumers will continue to upgrade their home networks to support the increasing broadband speeds available. They will expect solutions that can optimize and secure the expanding number of connected devices in the home, which grew from 13 to 16 devices per US broadband home just last year(1). For these reasons, we are focused on delivering exceptional value to our customers with high-quality, intelligent products and have been rewarded with outsized growth in the market.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this news release contains the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) plus depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets, other (expense) income, net, income tax provision, material one-time expenses and income, and stock-based compensation expenses, and Revenue Bookings, which we define as GAAP Revenue, which was $13.3 million for Q1 2022, plus the change in deferred revenue recorded within the financial reporting period being disclosed, which amounted to $0.1 million for Q1 2022.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors, and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that these measures provide an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage the business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals.

Minim believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors and analysts in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. These supplemental financial measures exclude costs incurred and related to the merger with Cadence Connectivity, Inc. as the company deems these costs as one-time in nature. 

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the financial adjustments described above and investors should not infer from our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Conference Call Details Date/Time:

Minim will host a conference call today, May 11, 2022, at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss these results. To participate, please access the live webcast at https://ir.minim.co/, or by dialing (866) 393-7958 (US) or (706) 643-5255 (international) and referencing code 6197831.
