iRobot Reports Second-Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Aug 07 2025 12:30 BST

BEDFORD, Mass. , Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in consumer robots, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2025.

"Our second quarter performance fell short of our expectations, due to persistent market headwinds and delays in scaling production and sales of our new products," said Gary Cohen, iRobot CEO. "While we made meaningful progress on gross margin expansion, tightened control over operating expenses, and improved net losses, our cash position continued to decline as we supported new product launches -- posing ongoing challenges to liquidity and operational flexibility. Although early consumer response to our latest product launches has been encouraging, broader market pressures and financial constraints remain significant hurdles to improved performance.

"As our Board of Directors continues its review of strategic alternatives for our business, we remain steadfast in executing our iRobot Elevate strategy and delivering the trusted products our customers value."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results ( in millions, except per share amounts and percentages)

	Q2 2025	Q2 2024
Revenue	$127.6	$166.4
GAAP Gross Margin¹	30.0 %	16.5 %
Non-GAAP Gross Margin¹	30.2 %	16.7 %
GAAP Operating Expenses	$75.0	$88.5
Non-GAAP Operating Expenses	$65.5	$75.9

GAAP Net Loss Per Share³	($0.68)	($2.41)
Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share³	($0.27)	($1.96)

1) In Q2 2024, GAAP and Non-GAAP gross margin were negatively impacted by an $18.4 million non-recurring charge related to the write-off of excess component inventory and the losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments as part of the transition to our new product development paradigm with our contract manufacturers (the "Manufacturing Transition Charge"), which reduced GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin by 11.1 percentage points.

2) In Q2 2024, GAAP and Non-GAAP operating loss were negatively impacted by the Manufacturing Transition Charge.

3) In Q2 2024, GAAP and Non-GAAP net loss per share were negatively impacted by the Manufacturing Transition Charge, which reduced GAAP and non-GAAP net loss per share by $0.63.

Balance Sheet and Operational Highlights

As of June 28, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $40.6 million, compared with $69.9 million as of March 29, 2025. As of June 28, 2025, the Company had an additional $36.0 million of restricted cash set aside for future repayment of its term loan, subject to limited ability of the Company to utilize such amount at the discretion of the lenders for the purchase of inventory.
As of June 28, 2025, the Company's inventory totaled $88.2 million, representing a 13% reduction from the second quarter of 2024.
In the second quarter of 2025, revenue increased 6% in Japan, declined 33% in the U.S. and declined 17% in EMEA over the prior-year period. Excluding the unfavorable foreign currency impact, Japan revenue increased 7% and EMEA revenue declined 16% over the prior-year period.
Revenue from mid-tier robots (with an MSRP between $300 and $499) and premium robots (with an MSRP of $500 or more) represented 73% of total robot sales in the second quarter of 2025 versus 76% from the same period last year.

Marketing Highlights

In July, iRobot introduced its most powerful and intelligent 2-in-1 robot to date, the Roomba® Max 705 Combo Robot + AutoWash™ Dock. Designed for the busiest homes, the Roomba Max 705 Combo delivers a deep, hands-free clean with 175 times more power-lifting suction*, AI-driven technology to avoid clutter left by kids and pets, and a first-of-its-kind roller mop cover that keeps carpets dry.
For the 11th consecutive year, Roomba was a featured product in Amazon's Prime Day event, which was held July 8-11. iRobot was ranked #1, #2 and #3 for the bestselling robot vacuum cleaners during Prime Day. The Company's products received a record number of Prime Day related media mentions in outlets including: Good Morning America, Better Homes & Gardens, HuffPost, Rolling Stone, GQ, Forbes Vetted, Real Simple and more.
In June, iRobot announced the debut of a multi-platform marketing campaign, its first since 2023. Beginning on June 16, television spots featuring the new tagline, "Roomba. Made for This," began airing in the U.S. on premium streaming services including Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Paramount+ and more.
*Performance in spot-clean mode with full battery compared to Roomba® 600 series robots.

Ongoing Strategic Review

As previously announced, iRobot's Board of Directors is conducting a review of strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, exploring a potential sale or strategic transaction, and refinancing the Company's debt. This review process is ongoing.

The Board has not set a timetable for the conclusion of this review, and there can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transactions or outcomes. The Company does not intend to disclose developments relating to this process until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

The Company remains actively engaged in ongoing collaborative and constructive discussions with its primary lender while the Board continues its strategic review. On August 6, 2025, the Company further amended its existing term loan to extend the covenant waiver under the term loan to September 19, 2025.

In light of the ongoing strategic review, the Company will not host an earnings conference call or webcast regarding its second quarter 2025 results and has suspended its practice of providing financial guidance.

iRobot Corporation
Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this earnings release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures described below. We use non-GAAP measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items. These non-GAAP financial measures 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 from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets: Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of amortization of intangible assets including completed technology, customer relationships, and reacquired distribution rights acquired in connection with business combinations as well as any non-cash impairment charges associated with intangible assets in connection with our past acquisitions. Amortization charges for our acquisition-related intangible assets are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our acquisitions. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Net Merger, Acquisition and Divestiture (Income) Expense: Net merger, acquisition and divestiture (income) expense primarily consists of professional fees associated with mergers, acquisitions and the review of strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, exploring a potential sale or strategic transaction. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the adjustment included the one-time net termination fee received as a result of the termination of the iRobot-Amazon Merger. The occurrence and amount of these costs will vary depending on the timing and size of these transactions. We exclude these charges from our non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation is a non-cash charge relating to stock-based awards. We exclude this expense as it is a non-cash expense, and we assess our internal operations excluding this expense and believe it facilitates comparisons to the performance of other companies.

Restructuring and Other: Restructuring charges are related to one-time actions associated with realigning resources, enhancing operational productivity and efficiency, or improving our cost structure in support of our strategy. Such actions are not reflective of ongoing operations and include costs primarily associated with severance and related costs, costs associated with early termination of contracts, charges related to paused work unrelated to our core business, costs associated with the Chief Executive Officer transition and other non-recurring costs directly associated with resource realignments tied to strategic initiatives or changes in business conditions. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP measures when evaluating our recent and prospective business performance as such items vary significantly based on the magnitude of the action and do not reflect anticipated future operating costs. In addition, these charges do not necessarily provide meaningful insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business.

Gain/Loss on Strategic Investments: Gain/loss on strategic investments includes fair value adjustments, realized gains and losses on the sales of these investments and losses on the impairment of these investments. We exclude these items from our non-GAAP measures because we do not believe they correlate to the performance of our core business and may vary in size based on market conditions and events. We believe that the exclusion of these gains or losses provides investors with a supplemental view of our operational performance.

Debt Issuance Costs: Debt issuance costs include various incremental fees paid to third parties and warrants issued in connection with the issuance or amendment of debt.

Income Tax Adjustments: Income tax adjustments include the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments, calculated using the appropriate statutory tax rate for each adjustment. We regularly assess the need to record valuation allowance based on the non-GAAP profitability and other factors. We also exclude certain tax items, including the impact from stock-based compensation windfalls/shortfalls, which are not reflective of income tax expense incurred as a result of current period earnings. We believe disclosure of the income tax provision before the effect of such tax items is important to permit investors' consistent earnings comparison between periods.
