  • Introduced MTi-320 high-performance Active Heading Tracker (AHT) for robotics and autonomous vehicle applications
  • Strong response to the new OBSKURTM platform resulting in over-subscription to early access stage prior to launch this summer

HENDERSON, Nev., May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Movella Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MVLA) (“Movella”), a leading full-stack provider of sensors, software, and analytics that enable the digitization of movement, today reported its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“We believe our strong cash position resulting from our Nasdaq listing will allow us to continue our focus on execution and on bringing new, innovative products to the market," said Movella CEO Ben Lee. “The impressive early access response to OBSKUR, Movella’s new all-in-one platform that provides live-streaming influencers with tools and assets for delivering immersive interactive experiences, is an example of our strong execution.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue. Net revenue in Q1 totaled $9.2 million, a decrease of 4% year-over-year.  
  • Gross Profit. GAAP gross profit rose to $5.6 million as compared to $4.8 million last year. GAAP gross margin reached a record 61%, an improvement of approximately 1000 basis points year-over-year. Non-GAAP gross profit totaled $5.9 million versus $6.0 million for the comparable quarter in the previous year. Non-GAAP Q1 gross margin was 64%.
  • Loss from Operations. GAAP loss from operations in Q1 was $9.4 million, inclusive of a $4.7 million non-cash intangibles impairment charge, versus $5.5 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP loss from operations was $3.6 million, a decrease of $0.1 million year-over-year.
  • GAAP Net Income. GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $15.5 million versus a net loss of $6.3 million in the comparable quarter in the previous year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 totaled negative $3.0 million, an improvement of $0.1 million year-over-year.
  • Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at quarter end were $62.1 million, compared to $14.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

“While the challenging macro environment and typical seasonality weighed on our first quarter top line performance, we expect to achieve near-term adjusted EBITDA breakeven and subsequent profitability, driven by continued gross margin expansion and prudent expense management,” said Movella CFO Steve Smith. “We believe our results combined with our expectations reflect the strength of our business and our ability to execute on our strategy to deliver value for our shareholders."

First Quarter 2023 Business Highlights

  • Received strong response to the new OBSKUR platform, resulting in over-subscription to early access stage prior to production launch this summer
  • Improved time-to-market and reduced cost of production for leading-game developer Ubisoft by leveraging Movella’s Xsens motion capture suits for real-time prototyping and pre-visualization of character movement
  • Introduced MTi-320 high performance Active Heading Tracker (AHT) for robotics and autonomous vehicle applications
  • Announced the appointment of Dale Pistilli as Vice President of Marketing to drive brand strategy and the overall marketing efforts of the company

“To accelerate the OBSKUR momentum, enhance the Movella brand, and grow as a public company, we are excited to announce the appointment of Dale Pistilli as our new VP of Marketing,” continued Movella CEO Ben Lee. “Dale's deep knowledge of influencer and creator marketing complements the strengths of the executive team we’ve built over the past two years, including CFO Steve Smith’s strong public company background, and CTO Vijay Nadkarni’s AI expertise and leadership from his previous companies.”

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following: our belief that our strong cash position will allow us to continue our focus on execution and on bringing new, innovative products to the market; that we expect to achieve near-term adjusted EBITDA breakeven and subsequent profitability; our ability to execute on our strategy to deliver value to shareholders, macro-environment challenges; the anticipated or potential features, benefits, and applications for Movella’s products and technology and timing thereof; the anticipated benefits and limitations of non-GAAP financial measures; the market opportunity for Movella’s products and technology; or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. These statements are based on the current expectations of Movella’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Movella’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; (ii) general economic and macro-economic conditions and Movella’s financial performance and factors affecting the same; (iii) changes adversely affecting the businesses and target markets in which Movella is engaged; (iv) Movella’s ability to execute on its business strategy and plans and to manage growth; and (v) risks related to regulatory matters, as well as the factors described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under similar headings in the final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) by Pathfinder on January 17, 2023, the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and current reports on Form 8-K filed on February 13, 2023 and March 31, 2023, and in Movella’s future filings with the SEC.

There may be additional risks that Movella presently knows or currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Movella anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, Movella specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Movella’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release and are not intended to serve as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Movella Holdings has provided financial information in this news release that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, and non-GAAP operating loss exclude net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, preferred stock dividends, share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishments related to the consummation of the business combination agreement, debt issuance costs, change in fair value of warrant liabilities fair value adjustments on debt instruments for which we elected the fair value option under ASC 825, and impairment of acquired intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes interest expense and income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income (expense), and certain non-recurring transaction expenses related to the business combination agreement.

Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, and non-GAAP operating loss are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be used in isolation or as a substitute for net loss, gross profit, operating loss or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we consider each to be an important supplemental measure of our performance.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures to make operational decisions, evaluate our performance, prepare forecasts and determine compensation. Further, we believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Share-based compensation expenses are expected to vary depending on the number of new incentive award grants issued to both current and new employees, the number of such grants forfeited by former employees, and changes in our stock price, stock market volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates, all of which are difficult to estimate. In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain non-cash and one-time items in order to facilitate comparability of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis because such expenses are not, in our view, related to our ongoing operating performance. We use this view of our operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and in the allocation of resources.

We further believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in providing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision-making. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates a comparison of our underlying operating performance with that of other companies in our industry, which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

Investors and potential investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. The limitations of relying on non-GAAP financial measures include, but are not limited to, the fact that other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures contained within this news release with our GAAP financial results.
