Sonos (NASDAQ:SONO) leaped Thursday after beating analysts’ expectations in its latest quarterly results. The wireless speaker maker reported a loss of 18 cents per share on revenue of $373 million for its fiscal third quarter. Analysts polled by Refinitiv had expected a 20-cent loss per share on revenue of $334 million. Sonos also raised its full-year EBITDA guidance.
Sonos CEO Patrick Spence commented, “We are pleased to report third-quarter revenue of $373.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $34.3 million. Despite the challenging environment, we are winning in the market and I’m proud of our team’s execution as we outperform the competition. We remain on track to deliver against our fiscal 2023 guidance.”
Spence continued, “While we have not yet seen conditions in our categories return to normal, we remain focused on ensuring Sonos can emerge from this period in a position of strength: we are profitable, we are debt free, and we have a huge market opportunity. In mid-June we made the difficult decision to reduce our workforce by 7% in order to protect profitability and allow us to invest in our exciting product roadmap to drive future growth. Continuing to innovate is critical to achieving our long-term potential and I have the utmost confidence in our ability to do so.”
SONO gained 46 cents, or 2.9%, to $16.10.
