During the year, our continued execution of our strategy and the dedication of the entire Impinj team resulted in 43% revenue growth, approximately 70% endpoint IC volume growth and improved margin,” said Chris Diorio, Impinj co-founder and CEO. “We raised a total of approximately $107 million in net proceeds in two successful equity offerings, expanding our available capital to continue investing in the massive market opportunity and enhance our leading market position.”

  • GAAP gross margin of 54.6%; non-GAAP gross margin of 55.6%
  • GAAP net income and net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.1 million, or income of $0.01 per diluted share using 20.7 million shares
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million
  • Non-GAAP net income of $2.2 million, or income of $0.11 per diluted share using 20.7 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.

First Quarter 2017 Financial Outlook

Impinj provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations; actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the comments below regarding forward-looking statements. For the first quarter of 2017, Impinj currently expects:

  • Revenue in the range of $30.0 million to $31.5 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of a loss of $1.0 million to income of $0.5 million
  • Non-GAAP earnings in the range of a loss of $1.25 million to income of $0.25 million, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the range of a loss of $0.06 and income of $0.01 with an expected share count in the range of 21.0 million to 22.0 million shares

All forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures in this section titled "First Quarter 2017 Financial Outlook" exclude non-cash income and expenses. Impinj has not reconciled guidance for these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because some items that impact these measures are either not within our control or not reasonably predictable, at least not without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the market for RAIN RFID, our strategy, prospects, and our financial outlook for the first quarter of 2017. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted include, among others, those risks and uncertainties included under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 15, 2016. All information provided in this release and in the attachments is as of the date hereof, and we undertake no duty to update this information unless required by law.

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 not considered to be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. 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 may not 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.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included at the end of this release.
