ClearOne, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

  • Overall Q2 revenue declines 5% year-over-year
  • Core audio conferencing solutions post impressive revenue growth
  • Gross Margin increases marginally over Q1.
  • Non-GAAP Operating expenses decrease 14% year-over-year

ClearOne Inc. (NASDAQ: CLRO), a global provider of audio and visual communication solutions, reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

"Our core audio conferencing products which include mixers and BMA Ceiling Tile-based solutions posted impressive year over year revenue growth in Q2. Our revenue performance was constrained due to our inability to fully meet the demands of our channel as we continue to fight the raw material shortages caused by the unprecedented global supply chain crisis that hasn't spared our industry," said Derek Graham, ClearOne's Interim CEO.

"We are fully prepared for the current challenges faced by ClearOne and will prioritize returning ClearOne back to profitability, energizing our employees to tap into their full potential, and re-establishing ClearOne as a premium brand in our industry and channels," Graham added.

Recent Highlights

  • On May 25, 2022, ClearOne Board of Directors announced Derek Graham as the Interim CEO, replacing Zee Hakimoglu.
  • On May 27, 2022, the U.S. District Court of the District of Delaware dismissed Shure’s tort claims with prejudice. Shure dropped these claims on the eve of the trial that happened in November 2021, in which ClearOne prevailed over Shure's infringement claims. ClearOne argued that the dismissal of Shure's tort claims should be with prejudice but Shure wanted the dismissal to be without prejudice – in other words, Shure wanted to preserve the ability to re-assert the claims later. The court ruled in ClearOne's favor. Our motion seeking fees is still pending with the Court.

Financial Summary

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles those to GAAP measures in the attached tables.

  • Revenue in 2022-Q2 was $7.4 million, compared to $7.7 million in 2021-Q2 and $7.5 million in 2022-Q1. The decrease in year-over-year revenue was primarily due to a 31% decline in video products and a 3% decline in microphones, which were partially offset by a 6% increase in audio conferencing. The increase in revenue from core audio conferencing products continued to be driven by solutions incorporating our BMA-CT and BMA 360 beamforming microphone array ceiling tiles and professional audio mixers. Despite this year-over-year revenue growth in core audio conferencing products, revenue from our audio conferencing products and microphones remain far below levels achieved prior to infringement of our strategic patents.



  • GAAP gross profit in 2022-Q2 was $2.8 million compared to $3.4 million in 2021-Q2 and $2.8 million in 2022-Q1. GAAP gross profit margin was 38.1% in 2022-Q2, compared to 44.3% in 2021-Q2 and 37.3% in 2022-Q1. The gross profit margin was negatively impacted due to increase in material costs due to continuing supply chain constraints, which were partially offset by reduced freight and tariff costs and a decrease in inventory obsolescence costs in 2022-Q2



    Operating expenses in 2022-Q2 were $4.5 million, compared to $4.9 million in 2021-Q2 and $4.7 million in 2022-Q1. Non-GAAP operating expenses in 2022-Q2 were $3.7 million, compared to $4.3 million in 2021-Q2 and $4.0 million in 2022-Q1. The year over year decrease in Non-GAAP operating expenses was mainly due to reduction in employee related expenses and consultant expenses caused by a decrease in headcount.



  • GAAP net loss in 2022-Q2 was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.08 per share, in 2021-Q2 and net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.08 per share, in 2022-Q1. The decrease in net loss was mainly due to the recognition of $1.5 million in gain from the forgiveness of CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program Loan.



  • Non-GAAP net loss in 2022-Q2 was $1.1 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per share, in 2021-Q2 and net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.05 per share, in 2022-Q1.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, ClearOne uses non-GAAP measures of gross profit, operating income (loss), net income (loss), adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and net income (loss) per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance from period to period and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of ClearOne’s underlying operational results and trends and our marketplace performance. The non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance before certain gains, losses, or other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our core operating results. In addition, these adjusted non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for gross profit, operating income (loss), net income (loss), income (loss) per share or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Other companies, including companies in ClearOne’s industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than ClearOne does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. A detailed reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with this release below.

Forward Looking Statements

This release contains “forward-looking” statements that are based on present circumstances and on ClearOne’s predictions with respect to events that have not occurred, that may not occur, or that may occur with different consequences and timing than those now assumed or anticipated. Such forward-looking statements and any statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations and forecasts of future growth and value and the possible outcomes of litigation, are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this release and ClearOne assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with, and is modified in its entirety by, the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “10-K”) filed by the Company for the same period with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and all of the Company’s other public filings with the SEC (the “Public Filings”).

In particular, the financial information contained herein is subject to and qualified by reference to the financial statements contained in the 10-Q, including the footnotes thereto, as well as the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “10-K”), the footnotes thereto and the limitations set forth therein.
