Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation (“Sarcos”) (NASDAQ: STRC and STRCW), a leader in the design, development, and manufacture of advanced robotic systems, solutions and software that redefine human possibilities, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter and Recent Highlights

  • Optimized ongoing operations, taking steps to improve efficiency and reduce cash spend
  • Formed new Advanced Technologies software business division to drive emerging artificial intelligence (AI) SaaS revenue opportunities; bolstered by an expanded contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) for continued development of AI driven technologies
  • Announced an agreement with Blattner Company to develop an autonomous robotic solar construction system

“As we announced on July 12, 2023, we are realigning the business and focusing our operations to capitalize on our most promising revenue opportunities, including Guardian® Sea Class, aviation and solar solutions, and our newly announced Advanced Technologies division,” said Laura Peterson, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer at Sarcos. “Additionally, we made the difficult, but strategic decision to reduce our workforce by approximately 25% and optimize our manufacturing facilities by consolidating our Pittsburgh manufacturing into our Salt Lake City location.

“I am confident these strategic decisions are right for Sarcos at this point in its growth as evidenced by recent milestones including our agreement with Blattner Company to develop an autonomous robotic solar construction system, our extended agreement with the Air Force Research Laboratory to continue to develop AI and software and services, and our agreement with VideoRay to develop underwater robotic systems.

“In addition, we have taken steps to significantly reduce our future cash usage and ended the quarter with $75 million in cash. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to operate into 2025 without additional financing.”

Financial results
Second quarter 2023 total revenue was $1.3 million, compared to $3.0 million during the second quarter of 2022.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $31.2 million, compared to operating expenses of $32.0 million during the second quarter of 2022. In connection with the July 12, 2023, announced restructuring, the Company incurred charges of $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, including $4.4 million due to the write-down of inventory and $0.7 million related to the impairment of certain fixed assets. Cost of revenue decreased to $0.9 million in Q2 2023 as compared to $3.1 million in Q2 2022, mainly due to decreased labor and material expenses charged to product development contracts. Second quarter 2023 gross margin was 26%, compared to negative 4% in the second quarter of 2022.

Research and development expenses increased to $11.7 million as compared to $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, due to increased labor and overhead expense as a result of increased headcount (due in part to the RE2 acquisition) and increased direct materials charges. General and administrative expenses decreased to $8.3 million in Q2 2023 as compared to $18.1 million in Q2 2022, primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation.

Second quarter 2023 net loss was $28.7 million or $1.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $23.1 million or $0.95 per share in the second quarter of the prior year.

Second quarter 2023 non-GAAP net loss was $21.9 million or $0.86 per diluted share. Reconciliation of net loss to non-GAAP net loss is included at the end of this release.

Please note, on July 5, 2023, Sarcos effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split.

Sarcos ended the quarter with $75.1 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Financial guidance

Sarcos believes that its third quarter 2023 total revenue will range between $1.1 and $1.4 million. The Company anticipates incurring additional restructuring expense related to the reduction of headcount of approximately $6.0 million, net, during the third quarter of 2023, which includes approximately $1.5 million in cash severance and benefit payments. The restructuring is expected to reduce personnel related cash usage by approximately $14.6 million annually beginning in 2024.

The Company estimates cash used in operating activities to average approximately $5.5 million per month during the third quarter of 2023. Sarcos intends to manage its average monthly cash usage to approximately $3.0 million in 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have presented in this release non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, each of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

We define non-GAAP net loss as our GAAP measured net loss excluding the impacts of stock-based compensation expense, gain on forgiveness of notes payable, gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative instruments and warrant liabilities, expenses related to a business combination, asset write-down and restructuring, goodwill impairment and other non-recurring non-operating expenses. We define non-GAAP net loss per share as non-GAAP net loss divided by weighted average outstanding shares.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP net loss is net loss. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP net loss per share is net loss per share. We believe excluding the impact of the previously listed items in calculating non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. We monitor, and have presented in this release, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share because they are each a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and to establish budgets. We believe non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we include in net loss but not in non-GAAP net loss. Accordingly, we believe non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share provide useful information to investors, analysts and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance.

Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share rather than net loss and net loss per share, which is for each the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share when they report their operating results, limiting the usefulness of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share for comparative purposes.

In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share as tools for comparison.

The following table reconciles non-GAAP net loss to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (in thousands, except share and per share data):
