Company Completes Independent Investigation and Files Form 10Q

SEATTLE--()--Impinj, Inc. (NASDAQ: PI), a leading provider and pioneer of RAIN RFID solutions for identifying, locating and authenticating everyday items, today released its full financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The Company also disclosed that the Audit Committee completed the independent investigation the Company announced in its August 2nd press release related to a complaint filed by a former employee. The Committee concluded there was no credible evidence supporting the former employee’s claims. The Company had delayed filing its second-quarter Form 10Q and announcing full second-quarter results pending completion of the investigation.

Our second quarter 2018 results are consistent with our August 2nd press release,” said Chris Diorio, Impinj co-Founder and CEO. “We are pleased that the Audit Committee was able to complete its independent investigation, and are proud that the outcome reaffirms that we operate our business according to the highest ethical principles. We continue to see momentum building as our team focuses on executing our vision of identifying, locating and authenticating every item in our everyday world.”

Audit Committee Investigation Findings

With the filing of the Company’s second-quarter Form 10Q today, the Company is in compliance with its SEC filing obligations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures by financial statement line items that exclude the effects of stock-based compensation, depreciation, restructuring costs and other expenses that we believe do not reflect our core operating performance. Our key non-GAAP liquidity and performance measures include adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss), see definitions of such below. We use adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) as key measures to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operating plans. We believe excluding those expenses inherent in calculating adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as it does for our management and board of directors. 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.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, depreciation, restructuring costs, other income (expense), net, interest expense and income tax expense. Restructuring costs relate to an effort in the first quarter of 2018 to reduce headcount and sublease office space to match strategic and financial objectives and optimize resources for long term growth. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

We define non-GAAP net income (loss) to consist of net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, depreciation, restructuring costs (for more information about restructuring costs, please refer to description in adjusted EBITDA above), amortization of debt issuance costs and non-cash income tax expense. We exclude the non-cash portion of income taxes because of our ability to offset a substantial portion of future income tax liabilities by utilizing our deferred tax assets, which primarily consist of federal net operating loss carryforwards and federal research and experimentation credit carryforwards. By better reflecting our future operating performance we believe this presentation will enhance comparability of our operating results.
