Second Quarter 2024 Results
The Company delivered a 32% year-over-year increase in SaaS
revenue, driven by improvements in SaaS ARPU and total Units
Deployed, which are key metrics the Company is focused on improving
to deliver more predictable growth. Over the same period, SaaS ARR
increased to $51.2 million, up from $38.8 million in Q2 2023. SaaS
ARPU for the quarter increased by 9%, to $5.63 from $5.16 in Q2
2023, primarily due to improvements in pricing. Additionally, Units
Booked SaaS ARPU saw a decrease of 8% to $8.07 from $8.74 in Q2
2023.
Total revenue for the quarter was $48.5 million, a 9% decrease
from the same quarter prior year, driven by fewer Units Shipped and
New Units Deployed. Hosted services revenue for the quarter was
$18.0 million, including a record $12.8 million of SaaS revenue, a
16% increase from $15.6 million from the same quarter prior year.
Hardware revenue was $25.0 million, a decrease of $3.1 million or
11% from the same quarter prior year. Professional services revenue
was $5.8 million, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 42% from the same
quarter in the prior year.
As of June 30, 2024, total Units Deployed reached 771,870, a 19%
increase with 121,546 more units compared to the same quarter prior
year. The Company had 22,469 New Units Deployed during the quarter,
a 53% decrease with 47,768 New Units Deployed in the same quarter
prior year. Units Booked for the quarter was 37,691, an 89%
increase with an additional 17,724 units compared to the same
quarter prior year. Total Bookings were $45.5 million, marking a
$14.0 million or 44% increase from the same quarter prior year.
In the second quarter, total gross margin improved to 35.7% from
18.5%, for a total of 1,716 basis points, from the same quarter
prior year, primarily driven from changes to product mix, cost
management and improvements to our operating model. SaaS gross
margin improved to 75.5% from 75.1%, a 43-basis point improvement
from a year ago. Total gross profit significantly increased in the
second quarter to $17.3 million from $9.9 million last year, for an
increase of 75%. Hardware gross profit was $8.4 million, a 44%
increase from $5.8 million, due to product mix. Professional
services gross loss narrowed to $3.0 million from $5.8 million in
the same quarter of the previous year, primarily due to overall
reduced volume in New Units Deployed, followed by the benefits of
cost management initiatives. Hosted services gross profit increased
to $12 million from $9.8 million in the same quarter prior year and
continues to be the company’s most profitable revenue stream.
In the second quarter of 2024, operating expenses were $24.2
million in the quarter, an increase. from $21.9 in the same quarter
in the prior year due to a one-time $2.3 million impairment charge
related to an investment.
Net losses in the second quarter were $(4.6) million, improved
from $(10.3) million in the second quarter of 2023, for a total
$5.7 million improvement year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $902K,
a 114% improvement from $(6.4) million in the same quarter from the
prior year. This marks the third consecutive quarter of positive
adjusted EBITDA results.
The Company’s $50 million share repurchase program remains
active. In the quarter, the company purchased approximately 765K
shares, and following the close of the quarter, the company has
purchased an additional 842K shares, leaving approximately $41.6
million available for future purchases. The Company ended the
quarter with a cash balance of $187 million.
"Our team is taking comprehensive steps to address the
increasing market headwinds and enhance both our financial
stability and overall execution discipline," stated Daryl Stemm,
CFO and interim Principal Executive Officer. "In response to these
dynamic conditions and in light of the ongoing CEO transition, we
determined it was appropriate to temporarily suspend our annual
guidance. Our financial foundation remains strong with ample
liquidity, and we are well positioned to advance our growth
strategies. We are particularly focused on strengthening our
recurring revenue streams, which are supported by an exceptionally
high net revenue retention rate exceeding 100%. We are confident
that these measures will not only provide predictable and
repeatable revenue but also guide SmartRent’s progress towards
long-term success during this pivotal phase."
SmartRent has not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents
or a GAAP reconciliation for forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA in
this presentation due to the uncertainty regarding, and the
potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based
compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA guidance to net income or loss is not available without
unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material
changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on
future GAAP results.

Understanding the information contained in these filings is

financial results and our business outlook for future periods.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined
in accordance with GAAP, SmartRent also discloses certain non-GAAP
financial measures in this press release, including EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA These financial measures are not recognized
measures under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information
prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before the following items:
stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring warranty
provisions, impairment of investment in non-affiliate, compensation
expenses in connection with acquisitions, non-recurring expenses in
connection with acquisitions, and other expenses caused by
non-recurring, or unusual, events that are not indicative of our
ongoing business. We define EBITDA as net income or loss computed
in accordance with GAAP before interest income/expense, income tax
expense and depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be determined or calculated
differently by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures
have been provided in the financial statement tables included in
this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliations.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not used as measures of
SmartRent’s liquidity and should not be considered alternatives to
net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance
presented in accordance with GAAP.
SmartRent’s management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in a
number of ways to assess the Company’s financial and operating
performance and believes that these measures provide useful
information to investors regarding financial and business trends
related to SmartRent’s results of operations. EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA are also used to identify certain expenses and make
decisions designed to help SmartRent meet its current financial
goals and optimize its financial performance, while neutralizing
the impact of expenses included in its operating results which
could otherwise mask underlying trends in its business. SmartRent’s
management believes that investors are provided with a more
meaningful understanding of SmartRent’s ongoing operating
performance when non-GAAP financial information is viewed with GAAP
financial information.
Operating Metrics Defined
SmartRent regularly monitors several operating metrics including
the following which the Company believes are key measures of its
growth, to evaluate its operating performance, identify trends
affecting its business, formulate business plans, measure its
progress, and make strategic decisions. These metrics may not
provide accurate predictions of future GAAP financial results.
Units Deployed is defined as the aggregate number of Hub
Devices that have been installed (including customer
self-installations) and have an active subscription as of a stated
measurement date.
New Units Deployed is defined as the aggregate number of
Hub Devices that were installed (including customer
self-installations) and resulted in a new active subscription
during a stated measurement period.
Units Shipped is defined as the aggregate number of Hub
Devices that have been shipped to customers during a stated
measurement period.
Units Booked is defined as the aggregate number of Hub
Device units subject to binding orders executed during a stated
measurement period. The Company utilizes the concept of Units
Booked to measure estimated near-term resource demand and the
resulting approximate range of post-delivery revenue that it will
earn and record. Units Booked represent binding orders only.
Bookings represent the contract value of hardware,
professional services, and the first year of ARR for binding orders
executed during a stated measurement period.
Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is defined as the
annualized value of our SaaS revenue earned in the current
quarter.
Average Revenue per Unit (“ARPU”) is used to assess the
growth and health of the overall business and reflects our ability
to acquire, retain, engage and monetize our customers, and thereby
drive revenue. Each revenue stream ARPU is calculated as
follows:
Hardware ARPU is total hardware
revenue during a given period divided by the total Units Shipped
during the same period.
Professional Services ARPU is total
professional services revenue during a given period divided by the
total New Units Deployed, excluding customer self-installations,
during the same period.
SaaS ARPU is total SaaS revenue during
a given period divided by the average aggregate Units Deployed in
the same period.
Units Booked SaaS ARPU is the first
year ARR for binding orders executed during the stated measurement
period divided by the total Units Booked in the same period.
Net Revenue Retention is defined as SaaS revenue at the
end of the current period related to properties which had SaaS
revenue at the end of the same period in the prior year, divided by
SaaS revenue at the end of the same period in the prior year for
those same properties. This includes any reductions in revenue
caused by cancellations or downgrades, offset by additions to
revenue from price increases on existing products, and additions of
new products at existing properties.
