Owlet Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Owlet, Inc. (“Owlet” or the “Company”) (NYSE:OWLT) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Owlet’s Chief Executive Officer, Kurt Workman, and Chief Financial Officer, Kate Scolnick, will host a conference call to review the Company’s results and provide a business update today, November 13, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Q3 2023 Highlights and Recent Developments
- Achieved de novo FDA- authorization for Dream Sock® – the first and only over-the-counter, medical grade pulse oximeter classified by FDA for healthy infants and preparing for launch by December 2023.
- Achieved revenues of $9.2 million as the Company entered into a new arrangement to start selling products directly to Amazon.com, Inc. under a first-party seller relationship shifting Amazon revenues into Q4.
- Operating expenses of $11.2 million compared to operating expenses of $26.4 million in the same period in 2022.
- Gross margin was 36.3% for the quarter compared to gross margin of 26.6% in the same period in 2022.
- Began FDA-cleared BabySatTM monitoring system market introduction to healthcare providers with commercial launch target by the end of 2023.
“Last week our focus and investments into FDA clearance were realized with the announcement of the first ever health monitor for babies at home. This clearance along with the Q2 announcement of BabySat clearance reposition Owlet for future growth,” said Kurt Workman, Owlet’s Chief Executive Officer. “Owlet continues to deliver against our strategic initiatives and our conviction in the Company mission remains strong.
We’ve grown our sell-through sequentially every quarter this year and have increased our total year to date sell-through over last year while reducing our marketing spend by 75%. While a large portion of our annual Amazon platform sell-in revenue timing shifted from Q3 into Q4 this year versus last year, demand for our Dream Sock and Dream Duo products remains strong as we enter Q4 and our retail partners are looking forward to the holiday season with the recent announcement of FDA Clearance.”
Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2023
Revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were approximately $9.2 million. This compares to revenues of $17.4 million in the third quarter of 2022.
During the third quarter, the Company entered into an arrangement to start selling products directly to Amazon.com, Inc. under a first-party seller relationship. Product shipments began in the first week of October 2023, resulting in a decrease in total Company revenue recognized in the third quarter year over year, as no sell-in revenue was recognized related to the former customers or Amazon.com during the quarter, compared to the prior year.
Cost of revenues for the third quarter of 2023 was approximately $5.9 million with a gross margin of 36.3%, compared to cost of revenues of $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2022 with a gross margin of 26.6%.
Operating expenses were approximately $11.2 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $26.4 million for the same period in 2022. The Company remains focused on controlling costs across the business, completing regulatory submissions and achieving adjusted EBITDA margin profitability in 2023.
Operating loss and net loss were approximately $7.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $21.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was approximately $5.5 million in third quarter 2023, compared to $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2022.
Net loss per share was $(0.84) for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $(2.42) for the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted net loss per share was $(0.70) for third quarter 2023, compared to adjusted net loss per share of $(2.40) for the same period in 2022.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share.
The Company uses such non-GAAP financial measures as internal measures of business operating performance and as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company’s peers and competitors. The Company believes its presentation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of our current business and enables investors to better understand and evaluate its historical and prospective operating performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they exclude items that vary from period to period without correlation to the Company’s core operating performance and highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Due to the nature of the items being excluded, such items do not reflect future gains, losses, expenses or benefits and are not indicative of the Company’s future operating performance. The Company believes investors, analysts and other interested parties use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share in evaluating issuers, and the presentation of these measures facilitates a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance in addition to the Company’s performance based on GAAP results.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or net loss per share as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, and should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for income tax provision, interest expense, interest expense from contingent beneficial conversion feature, interest income, and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for income tax provision, interest expense, interest expense from contingent beneficial conversion feature, interest income, depreciation and amortization, restructuring costs, warrant liability adjustments, gain on loan forgiveness, stock-based compensation, and transaction costs. Adjusted net loss is defined as net loss adjusted for restructuring costs, warrant liability adjustments, stock-based compensation, and transaction costs. Adjusted net loss per share is defined as adjusted net loss divided by weighted-average shares of common stock.
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, and the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures does not replace the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. Because all companies do not use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share (and similarly titled financial measures) in the same way, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this release should not be construed as substitutes for or better indicators of the Company’s performance than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. See the reconciliation tables that accompany this release for additional information regarding certain of the non-GAAP financial measures included herein.
