Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Foreign Currency Translation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of iRobot and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. iRobot has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been made to state fairly the Company's financial position. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future periods. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2023. The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter. Liquidity The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a long history of profitable operations, positive operating cash flows and substantial liquidity that was further strengthened during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic as consumer demand for iRobot's products increased considerably. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's revenue declined 29.4% from the nine months ended October 1, 2022 due to lower orders from retailers and distributors largely resulting from a decline in consumer sentiment, and resultant spending, as well as increased pricing competition in the market. The lower revenue has resulted in operating losses of $211.8 million and operating cash outflows of $113.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. On July 24, 2023, the Company entered into a $200.0 million Term Loan. Total proceeds from the Term Loan were $188.2 million, net of debt issuance costs, which will be used to fund the Company's ongoing operations. As a result, the Company ended the third quarter of 2023 with cash and cash equivalents of $189.6 million compared to $117.9 million as of December 31, 2022. Management has considered and assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for the one year from the date that the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. Management's assessment included the preparation of cash flow forecasts taking into account actions already implemented. Management considered additional actions within its control that it would implement, if necessary, to maintain liquidity and operations in the ordinary course. Management has already undertaken the following actions to improve profitability and operating cash flows and align the organization to the lower revenue level: • In August 2022, the Company initiated a restructuring of its operations designed to better realign its cost structure with near-term revenue and cash flow generation, advance key strategic priorities, increase efficiencies and improve its profitability going forward (the "August 2022 Restructuring Plan"). As part of the August 2022 Restructuring Plan, the Company reduced its workforce and terminated approximately 100 employees, which represented 8% of its workforce and eliminated a number of open positions entering the third quarter of 2022. As a follow-on action to the Company's August 2022 Restructuring Plan and in anticipation that market conditions will remain challenging in 2023, the Company initiated a new restructuring program at the beginning of February 2023 and reduced its workforce by approximately 85 employees, which represented 7% of the Company's global workforce as of December 31, 2022 (the "February 2023 Restructuring Plan"). At September 30, 2023, the Company had 1,126 employees, a total reduction of 246 employees since the end of fiscal 2021. In addition to the reduction of its headcount, the Company signed a sublease agreement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and two additional sublease agreements in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to sublease portions of its headquarters. iRobot's 2023 operating plan also incorporates scaled back working media and other demand-generation activities, limited investment in non-robotic product categories and minimal new hiring plans in 2023. These actions contributed to a total reduction of $70.5 million in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period last year. • Inventory has consumed a significant amount of cash, and the Company continues to manage its inventory level carefully. As of September 30, 2023, the inventory balance was $244.5 million, or 161 days, a reduction of $40.7 million from the end of fiscal 2022, and a reduction of $174.6 million from the same period last year. The Company will continue to manage its inventory to a level that aligns with current run rates and seasonality of the business. Management estimates such actions, together with the proceeds from the Term Loan, will be sufficient to allow it to maintain liquidity and its operations in the ordinary course for at least 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. While management estimates such actions and loan proceeds will be sufficient to allow it to maintain liquidity and its operations in the ordinary course for at least 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements, there can be no assurance the Company will generate sufficient future cash flows from operations due to potential factors, including, but not limited to, further inflation, the continued rising interest rates, ongoing recessionary conditions or continued reduced demand for the Company's products. If the Company is not successful in increasing demand for its products, or if macroeconomic conditions further constrain consumer demand, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to revenue and profitability. Additional actions within the Company’s control to maintain its liquidity and operations include optimizing its production volumes with contract manufacturers by reducing inventory supply forecast for cancellable purchase orders, further reducing discretionary spending in all areas of the business, decreasing working media spending and realigning resources through ongoing attrition without rehiring activity. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Recently Issued Accounting Standards From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments, include but are not limited to, revenue recognition, including performance obligations, standalone selling price, variable consideration and other obligations such as sales incentives and product returns; allowance for credit losses; impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; valuation of non-marketable equity investments; valuation of debt; product warranties; inventory excess and obsolescence; loss contingencies; and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations, projected future cash flows, current economic conditions, and various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results and outcomes may differ from the Company’s estimates and assumptions. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company's restricted cash balance, included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, is used as collateral for the Company's credit card program and to secure the outstanding letters of credit after the Prior Credit Facility was terminated in July 2023 (as described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements). Allowance for Credit Losses The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable using an expected loss model that requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimate. The expected loss methodology is developed through consideration of factors including, but not limited to, historical collection experience, current customer credit ratings, customer concentrations, current and future economic and market conditions and age of the receivable. The Company reviews and adjusts the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance when the Company determines that the balances are not recoverable. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an allowance for credit losses of $2.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Tariff Refunds In March 2022, the Company was granted a temporary exclusion from Section 301 List 3 tariffs by the United States Trade Representative. This exclusion, which was subsequently extended until September 30, 2023, and then further extended until December 31, 2023, entitled the Company to a refund of approximately $32.0 million in tariffs paid. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a benefit of $11.7 million from tariff refunds as a reduction to cost of product revenue related to tariffs paid on products imported after October 12, 2021 and sold during fiscal 2021. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had received $31.9 million of the tariff refund and the outstanding refund receivable of $0.1 million is recorded in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Inventory Inventory primarily consists of finished goods and, to a lesser extent, components, which are purchased from contract manufacturers. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined using the standard cost method, which approximates actual costs determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs primarily consist of materials, inbound freight, import duties and other handling fees. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or excess inventory based upon assumptions around market conditions and estimates of future demand. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Adjustments to reduce inventory to net realizable value are recognized in cost of revenue and have not been significant for the periods presented. Strategic Investments The Company holds non-marketable equity securities as part of its strategic investments portfolio. The Company classifies the majority of these securities as equity securities without readily determinable fair values and measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs or data in an inactive market and the valuation requires the Company's judgment due to the absence of market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. The Company monitors non-marketable equity investments for impairment indicators, such as deterioration in the investee's financial condition and business forecasts and lower valuations in recent or proposed financings. The estimated fair value is based on quantitative and qualitative factors including, but not limited to, subsequent financing activities by the investee and projected discounted cash flows. The Company performs an assessment on a quarterly basis to assess whether triggering events for impairment exist and to identify any observable price changes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, related to investments in non-marketable equity securities. Changes in fair value of non-marketable equity investments are recorded in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's equity securities without readily determinable fair values totaled $11.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively, and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Restructuring Charges In August 2022, the Company initiated a restructuring of its operations designed to realign its cost structure with near-term revenue and cash flow generation, advance key strategy priorities, increase efficiencies and improve its profitability going forward. As a follow-on action to the Company’s August 2022 Restructuring Plan and in anticipation that market conditions remain challenging in 2023, the Company initiated a new restructuring program at the beginning of February 2023 to further reduce its workforce by approximately 85 employees, which represented 7% of the Company's global workforce as of December 31, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for employee severance and benefit costs. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding restructuring liability of approximately $0.7 million and expects the remaining balance to be substantially paid during the fourth quarter of 2023. These restructuring charges are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. Net Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 October 1, 2022 September 30, 2023 October 1, 2022 Net loss $ (79,205) $ (128,366) $ (241,117) $ (202,193) Weighted-average shares outstanding 27,738 27,264 27,608 27,159 Basic and diluted loss per share $ (2.86) $ (4.71) $ (8.73) $ (7.44) |
