Sonos Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) today reported Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 results.
"Our third quarter demonstrates the inflection we've been talking about, as revenue growth accelerated and the reinvention of the business continued to take hold," said Tom Conrad, Chief Executive Officer of Sonos. "Over the past 18 months, we've built a leaner, more focused company and a healthier core business centered around our system strategy, and that work is showing up in our results. Revenue grew 9% in Q3, up from 2% in the first half, and we're now growing revenue, expanding gross margin, and growing profit at the same time. We’re carrying this momentum into the fourth quarter as we focus on building durable growth while operating with discipline."
"Q3 was another strong quarter, as revenue and Adjusted EBITDA both landed near the high end of our guidance range. We generated healthy free cash flow and built our cash balance sequentially and year over year, while returning $30 million to our shareholders through share repurchases," said Saori Casey, Chief Financial Officer of Sonos. "Q3 marks our eighth consecutive quarter of disciplined execution against our commitments and structurally improving our business."

(1) Legal and transaction-related costs consist of expenses related to our intellectual property ("IP") litigation against Alphabet and Google, which we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance.
(2) Restructuring and other charges for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2026, include employee-related costs resulting from a reorganization of certain corporate functions and organizational changes driven by new leadership. Additionally, the charges include costs related to exiting a contract manufacturing partnership to consolidate and improve supply chain efficiency and exit costs associated with the partial abandonment of office space.
(3) Restructuring and other charges for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2025 primarily reflect costs associated with our cost transformation initiative including the 2025 restructuring plan and rationalization of our product roadmap, as well as non-recurring CEO transition costs related to modifications to equity awards.
(4) Tariff refunds relate to non-recurring cash received during the quarter following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidating certain IEEPA tariffs.

(1) Legal and transaction-related costs consist of expenses related to our intellectual property ("IP") litigation against Alphabet and Google, which we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance.
(2) Restructuring and other charges for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2026, include employee-related costs resulting from a reorganization of certain corporate functions and organizational changes driven by new leadership. Additionally, the charges include costs related to exiting a contract manufacturing partnership to consolidate and improve supply chain efficiency and exit costs associated with the partial abandonment of office space.
(3) Restructuring and other charges for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2025 primarily reflect costs associated with our cost transformation initiative including the 2025 restructuring plan and rationalization of our product roadmap, as well as non-recurring CEO transition costs related to modifications to equity awards.
(4) Tariff refunds relate to non-recurring cash received during the quarter following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidating certain IEEPA tariffs.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
We have provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP pre-tax income (loss), free cash flow, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that we exclude in these non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP financial equivalents provided in the financial statement tables above. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest income, interest expense, other expense (income), income taxes, restructuring and other charges, legal and transaction related fees and other items that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance, including, for the third quarter fiscal 2026, IEEPA tariff refund benefit. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We define non-GAAP operating income (loss) as total operating loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, legal and transaction related costs, amortization of intangibles and restructuring and other charges and, for the third quarter fiscal 2026, IEEPA tariff refund benefit. We define non-GAAP pre-tax income (loss) as non-GAAP operating income (loss) adjusted to include interest income and to exclude interest expense and, for the third quarter fiscal 2026, interest attributable to IEEPA tariff refund benefit. We define free cash flow as net cash from operations less purchases of property and equipment. We define non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross margin, excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and other charges and, for the third quarter fiscal 2026, IEEPA tariff refund benefit. We define non-GAAP cost of revenue as GAAP cost of revenue less stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles and, for the third quarter fiscal 2026, IEEPA tariff refund benefit. We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit less stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and restructuring and other charges and, for the third quarter fiscal 2026, IEEPA tariff refund benefit. We calculate non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net income (loss) less stock-based compensation, legal and transaction related fees, amortization of intangibles, other expense (income) and restructuring and other charges and, for the third quarter fiscal 2026, IEEPA tariff refund benefit and interest attributable to IEEPA tariff refund benefit. We calculate non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by non-GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the period. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because we cannot do so without unreasonable effort due to unavailability of information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, we do so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis as that would require estimates for items such as stock-based compensation, which is inherently difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy. Stock-based compensation expense is difficult to estimate because it depends on our future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. In addition, for purposes of setting annual guidance, it would be difficult to quantify stock-based compensation expense for the year with reasonable accuracy in the current quarter. As a result, we do not believe that a GAAP reconciliation would provide meaningful supplemental information about our outlook.
