Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On November 14, 2022, Peraso Inc.  (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release should be read in conjunction with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, which are included in the text of the release.

 

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management also presents information regarding the Company’s performance over comparable periods based on cost of net revenues, operating expenses (research and development and sales, general and administrative), operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, exclusive of stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. Because management discloses financial measures calculated without taking into account these items, these financial measures are characterized as “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

 

Stock-based compensation charges represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company. Although these are recurring charges to the Company’s operations, management believes the measurement of these amounts can vary considerably from period to period and depend substantially on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within management’s control. Thus, management believes that excluding these charges facilitates comparisons of the Company’s operational performance in different periods, as well as with similarly determined non-GAAP financial measures of comparable companies.

 

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures also exclude amortization of intangibles recorded from the Company’s acquisition of Peraso Technologies Inc. in December 2021. Management believes the amortization does not represent operating expenses ordinarily incurred by the Company with respect to its core business.  Thus, these charges are excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to provide another basis for evaluating and comparing the Company’s performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss), as reported on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, depreciation, and the provision (benefit) for income taxes.

 

Management and the Company’s board of directors will continue to analyze the historical consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (revenue, cost of net revenue, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share) and adjusted EBITDA to assess the business and compare operating results to the Company’s performance objectives. For example, the Company’s budgeting and planning process utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures.

 

The Company discloses these non-GAAP financial measures to the public as an additional means by which investors can assess the Company’s performance and to identify the Company’s operating results for investors on the same basis applied by management. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and, therefore, may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has furnished reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the press release furnished as Exhibit  99.1.

 

Moreover, although these non-GAAP financial measures adjust expense, they should not be viewed as a pro-forma presentation reflecting the elimination of the underlying share-based compensation programs, which are an important element of the Company’s compensation structure. GAAP requires that all forms of share-based payments should be valued and included, as appropriate, in results of operations. Management believes these expenses are a material part of the Company’s operating results.

EXHIBIT 99.1

 

Peraso Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results

 

Total Revenue Increased 63% Year-over-Year; Ended Quarter with Record Order Backlog

 

SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2022 / Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ:PRSO) ("Peraso" or the "Company"), a leader in mmWave technology, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

 

Management Commentary

Peraso's CEO, Ron Glibbery, stated, "We've continued to experience strong customer demand for our mmWave solutions, which contributed to another quarter of year-over-year growth. However, third quarter revenue was lower than we previously expected, as we were unable to recognize revenue on certain orders that shipped to a customer late in the quarter. We are working closely with this customer and expect to recognize the associated revenue in the fourth quarter.

 

"Beyond this customer-specific issue, we continue to benefit from incremental traction in the fixed wireless access market, which has demonstrated sustained momentum despite the current macroeconomic environment. We also see strong interest from multiple customer prospects for our recently introduced 5G mmWave solution targeting customer premise applications with carriers. During the quarter, we demonstrated this highly integrated, dual-band 5G beamformer IC, at multiple prominent industry events. Moreover, we recently made key additions to the Peraso team in support of further expanding commercial engagements with both prospective customers and partners. Together with our existing order backlog, we have good visibility into future demand and expect to resume sequential growth in the fourth quarter."

 

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $3.3 million, compared with $4.3 million in the prior quarter and $2.0 million in the same quarter a year ago. Product revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $3.1 million, compared with $4.1 million in the prior quarter and $1.4 million in the year ago period. The sequential decrease in revenue was attributable to approximately $1.1 million of product shipments for which the Company was unable to recognize revenue during the third quarter. The year-over-year revenue growth was driven by increased demand and shipments of memory IC products.

 

GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 39.3%, compared with 34.7% in the prior quarter and 54.5% in the same quarter a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 50.2%, compared with 43.0% in the prior quarter and 54.5% in the same quarter a year ago. Gross margin in the third quarter reflected revenue mix, which included increased volume shipments of the Company's memory IC products.

 

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2022 were $5.3 million, which included a $2.6 million gain related to a license and asset sale accounted for as a reduction of operating expenses in accordance with GAAP, compared with $8.5 million in the prior quarter and $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. Operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2022, which exclude stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets, were $5.1 million compared with $8.4 million in the prior quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses in the third quarter 0f 2021, which also excluded certain business combination transaction costs, was $3.9 million.

 

 

 

 

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $4.0 million, or ($0.20) per share, compared with a net loss of $7.0 million, or ($0.36) per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $3.8 million, or ($0.73) per share, in the third quarter 0f 2021.

 

Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.0 million, or ($0.10) per share, compared with a net loss of $4.8 million, or ($0.24) per share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $2.5 million, or ($0.47) per share, in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was negative $1.8 million, compared with a negative $4.5 million in the prior quarter and a negative $1.4 million in the same quarter last year.

 

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results and GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the financial statement tables following the text of this press release.

 

Business Outlook

The Company expects total net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 to be in the range of $3.8 million to $4.1 million, which excludes approximately $1.1 million in anticipated revenue recognition associated with previous product shipments to a customer.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

To supplement Peraso's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Peraso uses non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from the statement of operations the effects of stock-based compensation,amortization of reported intangible assets, business combination transaction costs, the change in fair value of warrant liability, a deemed dividend on inducement of conversion of Class C preferred shares, accretion of preferred shares presented as dividends, and the effect of foreign exchange on preferred shares. Peraso's management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors and other interested persons because they are one of the primary indicators that Peraso's management uses for planning and forecasting future performance. The press release also makes reference to and reconciles GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as GAAP net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization, as well as stock-based compensation, amortization of reported intangible assets, business combination transaction costs and the change in fair value of warrant liability. Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items is useful to investors because management does not consider these charges part of the day-to-day business or reflective of the core operational activities of the Company that are within the control of management or that would be used to evaluate management's operating performance.

 

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which are provided in tables below the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, and management's explanation of why it considers such measures to be useful, refer to the Form 8-K dated November 14, 2022, that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
