Nov 1, 2017

SEATTLE, Nov. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Impinj, Inc. (NASDAQ:PI), a leading provider and pioneer of RAIN RFID solutions for identifying, locating and authenticating everyday items, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2017.

“We delivered a solid third quarter with strong reader and gateway volume growth,” said Chris Diorio, Impinj co-founder and CEO. “Our 2017 endpoint IC unit guidance remains unchanged at between 7.0 and 7.2 billion units. We see indicators of growing adoption for RAIN, and the Impinj platform, however, we expect to see a slight decrease in endpoint IC volumes in the second half of the year. We remain confident in our market opportunity and will continue investing in and delivering solutions and enterprise partnerships that leverage our platform, accelerate adoption and drive scale in this gigantic market opportunity.”

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Summary

  • Revenue grew 5% year-over-year to $32.6 million
  • GAAP gross margin of 52.1%; non-GAAP gross margin of 53.7%
  • GAAP net loss of $4.9 million, or loss of $0.23 per basic and diluted share using 20.8 million shares
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.5 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss of $1.6 million, or loss of $0.08 per diluted share using 20.8 million shares

A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP information, including weighted-average basic and diluted shares, is contained in the tables below. Additionally, descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross margin, net income and earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA. In computing these non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest and other income/expense, and non-cash income tax expense. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain income, expenses and expenditures that not considered to be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
