Sonos in Sustained Struggle Throughout 4Q & Full Year Fiscal 2024

Sonos 4Q and Full Year Fiscal 2024 results

Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) Chief Executive Officer Patrick Spence did his best to sound upbeat and exuberant recently as he discussed the company’s results for its fourth quarter (4Q) and full year of Fiscal 2024 on an earnings call with financial analysts. Although most expected poor results in the wake of recent challenges, the numbers were particularly rough as the company is struggling against market headwinds in the audio segment, a less-than-satisfying rollout of what it had hoped would be a blockbuster new product in a blockbuster new category (Ace headphones), and most vexingly, from its own self-inflicted wound with a horribly botched app rollout.

Spence faced a tough sell to analysts, even with reduced expectations, as the numbers were quite disappointing.

Fiscal 2023 Total Sales Drop 6%…Installer Sales Decline 7%

After the close of markets on Wednesday, Sonos released its Fiscal 2023 fourth quarter (Q4) and full-year results. As one of the industry’s top consumer brands, Sonos’ latest quarterly and full-year earnings put the post-COVID strain in full display as the company was hit with both sales and profit declines even though it took aggressive steps to adjust to an adverse consumer market.

The company says loyal customers are its greatest buffer against macroeconomic headwinds, but those headwinds were particularly daunting in 2023.
