Latest Sonos Earnings Report Shows Just How Bad Things Are

February 20, 2025 by Ted 2 Comments

Sonos graphic for Q1 Fiscal 2025 results
Is that a disaster movie they’re watching?

Sonos announced the financial results for its first quarter of Fiscal 2025, the 90-day period that ended on December 28, 2024. It was sobering news – Revenues declined over 10%, Operating Income collapsed almost 40%(!), and Net Income slid 38%. These poor results show that Sonos is starting out 2025, not as bad as 2024…it’s starting out worse.

Yet some outlets on Wall Street reported Sonos results were “better than expected.” With these numbers, how is that possible? Read on…

Another Round of Sonos Layoffs at a Critical Moment; 12% of Staff is Cut

February 18, 2025 by Ted Leave a Comment

Consumer using Sonos products

Sonos has announced that it is launching yet another reorganization (it had one in 2024, and another one before that in 2023) with a “reduction in force” this time impacting 12% of its entire workforce. It seems remarkable that at a time when it continues to struggle to extricate itself from the La Brea tar pits it fell into via 2024’s app disaster, one of its first solutions is to let people go. More than 1 out of every 10 employees has been terminated to “…improve the Company’s operating model and cost structure to set the Company up for long-term success.”

Voxx Tells the SEC Its Latest Quarterly Report Will Be Late; Sets Severance for Key Execs

January 21, 2025 by Ted Leave a Comment

Voxx Int'l headquarters building

Voxx International Corporation (Nasdaq: VOXX) has filed papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) informing them that the company will be late in filing its latest Quarterly Report. It has separately notified the SEC of new “Compensatory Arrangements” with certain officers of the company. The subject of the first filing is a regular Quarterly Earnings report – which is mandated by securities regulations. The delayed report Voxx is referring to is its normal earnings report for the quarter ending November 30, 2024.

The second filing – a Form 8-K – details certain changes to the employment agreements of CEO/President Pat Lavelle, Senior VP/COO/CFO Lorianne Shelton, and Senior VP/Treasurer Charles M. Stoehr.

In the wake of its acquisition by Bose last November, I have learned that there has been a significant shift in McIntosh’s go-to-market strategy. Multiple sources are reporting that McIntosh Group has terminated all independent manufacturer sales representatives. This move appears to contradict statements made by a Bose executive during the original announcement of its acquisition of McIntosh in November.
