CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). All statements contained in this Report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, products, services, and technology offerings, market conditions, growth and trends, expansion plans and opportunities, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “preliminary,” “likely” and similar expressions, and the negative of these expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Report and in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on March 25, 2022. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

 

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, among other things, our ability to:

 

execute our business strategy;
anticipate the uncertainties inherent in the development of new business lines and business strategies;
anticipate the impact of the coronavirus (including emerging variant strains, “COVID-19”) pandemic and its effect on our business and financial condition;
manage risks associated with operational changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;
develop, design, manufacture, and sell products and services that are differentiated from those of competitors;
continue to develop new products and innovations to meet constantly evolving customer demands;
manage risks associated with our third-party suppliers and manufacturers and partners for our products;
produce or obtain quality products and services on a timely basis or in sufficient quantity;
accelerate adoption of our products and services;
acquire or make investments in other businesses, patents, technologies, products or services to grow the business;
attract, train, and retain effective officers, key employees or directors;
enhance future operating and financial results;
comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business, including privacy regulations;
anticipate the significance and timing of contractual obligations;
maintain key strategic relationships with partners and distributors;
realize the benefits expected from the Business Combination;
successfully pursue, defend, resolve or anticipate the outcome of pending or future litigation matters;
upgrade and maintain information technology systems;
anticipate rapid technological changes; and
meet future liquidity requirements and comply with restrictive covenants related to long-term indebtedness.

 

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Report or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SmartRent, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, (collectively the “Company”) formerly known as Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I (FWAA), was originally incorporated in Delaware on November 23, 2020, as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. On February 9, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the IPO), following which its shares began trading on the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”). On April 21, 2021, FWAA entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with SmartRent.com, Inc. (“Legacy SmartRent”) and Einstein Merger Corp. I, a wholly owned subsidiary of FWAA (“Merger Sub”). On August 24, 2021, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the Business Combination) were consummated. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, FWAA changed its name to SmartRent, Inc. and its shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “SMRT.” As a result of the Business Combination, SmartRent, Inc. became the owner, directly or indirectly, of all of the equity interests of Legacy SmartRent and its subsidiaries.

SmartRent is an enterprise technology company that provides a comprehensive real estate platform designed for property owners, managers and residents. Its suite of products and services, which includes both smart building hardware and cloud-based SaaS solutions, provides seamless visibility and control over real estate assets. The Company’s comprehensive platform lowers operating costs, increases revenues, mitigates operational friction and protects assets for owners and operators, while providing a differentiated, elevated living experience for residents. The Company is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Business Combination

The Company entered into the Merger Agreement in April 2021 and consummated the Business Combination in August 2021. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy SmartRent, with Legacy SmartRent continuing as the surviving company and changing its name to “SmartRent Technologies, Inc.” In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from “Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I” to “SmartRent, Inc.” and changed its trading symbol and securities exchange from “FWAA” on Nasdaq to “SMRT” on the NYSE.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock to 550,000 shares, of which 500,000 shares were designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and of which 50,000 shares were designated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy SmartRent convertible preferred stock and common stock issued and outstanding was canceled and converted into the right to receive approximately 4.8846 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”).

Outstanding stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), whether vested or unvested, to purchase or receive shares of Legacy SmartRent common stock granted under the 2018 Stock Plan (see Note 8) converted into stock options and RSUs to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the same terms and conditions that were in effect with respect to such stock options and RSUs immediately prior to the Business Combination, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio.

Outstanding warrants, whether vested or unvested, to purchase shares of Legacy SmartRent common stock (see Note 7) converted into warrants for shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the same terms and conditions that were in effect with respect to such warrants immediately prior to the Business Combination, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio.

In connection with the Business Combination,

Holders of less than one thousand shares of FWAA’s Class A Common Stock sold in its initial public offering (the “Initial Shares”) properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from FWAA’s initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Each such share was redeemed for approximately $10.00 per share, or $2 in the aggregate;

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

The shares of FWAA Class B Common Stock held by Fifth Wall Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”) and FWAA’s independent directors automatically converted to 8,625 shares of Common Stock; and,
Pursuant to subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), certain investors purchased an aggregate of 15,500 newly-issued shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $155,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company consummated the PIPE Investment.

The Company incurred direct and incremental costs of approximately $55,981 in connection with the Business Combination and the related equity issuance, consisting primarily of investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional fees, which were recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of proceeds.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, FWAA was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. See Note 2 "Significant Accounting Policies" for further details. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy SmartRent issuing stock for the net assets of FWAA, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FWAA are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy SmartRent and FWAA filed separate standalone federal, state, and local income tax returns. As a result of the Business Combination, SmartRent, Inc. will file a consolidated income tax return. For legal purposes, FWAA acquired Legacy SmartRent, and the transaction represents a reverse acquisition for federal income tax purposes - SmartRent Inc. is the parent of the consolidated group with SmartRent Technologies, Inc. as a subsidiary, but in the year of the closing of the Business Combination, the consolidated tax return of SmartRent Inc. included a full year period for Legacy SmartRent and stub-year for FWAA starting the day after the closing of the Business Combination. FWAA filed a short year return for the period prior to the acquisition.

Upon closing of the Business Combination, the Company received gross proceeds of $500,628 from the Business Combination and PIPE Investment, offset by offerings costs of $55,981.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented herein. The financial data and other information disclosed in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements related to the three months ended March 31, 2022 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any future period.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Foreign Currency

SmartRent Inc.'s functional and reporting currency is United States Dollars (“USD”) and its foreign subsidiary has a functional currency other than USD. Financial position and results of operations of the Company's international subsidiaries are measured using local currencies as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. The Company's international subsidiaries statements of operations accounts are translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during each reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing currency exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency exchange transactions, as well as translation gains or losses on transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency, are reflected in the statement of operations.

Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management believes that currently available resources will provide sufficient funds to enable the Company to meet its obligations for at least one year past the issuance date of these financial statements. The Company may need to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing to fund future operations until it generates positive operating cash flows. There can be no assurance that such additional equity or debt financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These estimates made by management include valuing the Company’s inventories on hand, allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible assets, earnout liabilities, warranty liabilities and certain assumptions used in the valuation of equity awards, including the estimated fair value of common stock warrants, stand-alone selling price of items sold and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation expense. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Impact of COVID-19

The extensive impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. In an effort to halt the outbreak of COVID-19, a number of countries, states, and other jurisdictions have imposed, and may impose in the future, various measures, including, but not limited to, voluntary and mandatory quarantines, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, limitations on gatherings, reduced operations and extended business closures.

The timing of customer orders and the Company’s ability to fulfill orders received was impacted by various COVID-19-related government mandates, resulting in a delay in units sold. The Company has also witnessed certain current and prospective customers delaying purchases based on budget constraints or project delays related to COVID-19. The broader and long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s workforce, operations and supply chain, customer demand, results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain.

The impact of COVID-19, and measures to prevent its spread, have been impactful and continue to affect supply chain. The Company has experienced some production delays as a result of COVID-19, including impacts to the sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics channels. The Company continues to engage with current and potential customers and continues to experience strong demand for its smart home enterprise software solutions. The Company believes some customers may continue to delay purchases because their development programs may also be delayed as a result of COVID-19.

The Business Combination

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization as Legacy SmartRent was determined to be the accounting acquirer. The determination is primarily based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

the equity holders of Legacy SmartRent hold the majority of voting rights in the Company;

SMARTRENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

the board of directors of Legacy SmartRent represent a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company or were appointed by Legacy SmartRent;
the senior management of Legacy SmartRent became the senior management of the Company; and
the operations of Legacy SmartRent comprise the ongoing operations of the Company.

In connection with the Business Combination, outstanding capital stock of Legacy SmartRent was converted into Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, representing a recapitalization, and the net assets of the Company were acquired at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Legacy SmartRent was deemed to be the predecessor of the Company, and the consolidated assets and liabilities and results of operations prior to the Closing Date are those of the Legacy SmartRent. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and net loss per share available to common stockholders, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the Exchange Ratio.

Acquisitions

In March 2022, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of SightPlan Holdings Inc. ("SightPlan") in an acquisition that meets the definition of a business combination, for which the acquisition method of accounting was used (see Note 13). The acquisition was recorded on the date that the Company obtained control over the acquired business. The consideration paid was determined on the acquisition date and the acquisition-related costs, such as professional fees, were excluded from the consideration transferred and were recorded as expense in the period incurred. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company were recorded at their estimated fair values, while goodwill was measured as the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

In December 2021, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of iQuue, LLC (“iQuue”) in an acquisition that meets the definition of a business combination, for which the acquisition method of accounting was used (see Note 13). The acquisition was recorded on the date that the Company obtained control over the acquired business. The consideration paid was determined on the acquisition date and the acquisition-related costs, such as professional fees, were excluded from the consideration transferred and were recorded as expense in the period incurred. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company were recorded at their estimated fair values, while goodwill was measured as the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

The Company follows the two-class method to include the dilutive effect of securities that participated in dividends, if and when declared, when computing net income per common share. The two-class method determines net income per common share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends, if and when declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The anti-dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is excluded from the computation of net loss per share because inclusion of such potentially dilutive shares on an as-converted basis would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company’s participating securities included convertible preferred stock, as the holders were entitled to receive noncumulative dividends on a pari passu basis in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock. The Company also considers any unvested common shares subject to repurchase to be participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is paid on common stock. The holders of convertible preferred stock, as well as the holders of unvested common shares subject to repurchase, do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. In conjunction with the Business Combination all convertible preferred stock converted to common stock.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for outstanding shares that are subject to repurchase and any shares issuable by the exercise of warrants for nominal consideration.

SMARTRENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, the diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because inclusion of such potentially dilutive shares on an as-converted basis would have been anti-dilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at multiple financial institutions, and, at times, these balances exceed federally insurable limits. As a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. The Company believes any risks are mitigated through the size and security of the financial institution at which our cash balances are held.

Restricted Cash

The Company considers cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. The Company reports the current portion of restricted cash as a separate item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the non-current portion is a component of other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines current or non-current classification based on the expected duration of the restriction.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable consist of balances due from customers resulting from the sale of hardware, professional services and hosted services. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, are non-interest bearing and are presented net of the associated allowance for doubtful accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $357 as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and totaled $15 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There was no provision recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022. There were no write-offs of accounts receivable deemed uncollectable for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company evaluates the collectability of the accounts receivable balances and has determined the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of factors, which include the nature of relationship and the prior experience the Company has with the account and an evaluation for current and projected economic conditions as of the Consolidated Balance Sheets date. Accounts receivable determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual collections of accounts receivable could differ from management’s estimates.

Significant Customers

A significant customer represents 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue or net accounts receivable balance at each respective Consolidated Balance Sheet date. The significant customers of the Company are also limited partners of an investor in the Company with approximately 20% and 22% ownership as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. The investor does not exert control or influence on these limited partners and, as such these limited partners do not meet the definition of related parties of the Company. Revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable for each significant customer follows.

SMARTRENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for potential impairment of goodwill on an annual basis in November to determine if the carrying value is less than the fair value. The Company will conduct additional tests between annual tests if there are indications of potential goodwill impairment. Qualitative factors are considered first to determine if performing a quantitative test is necessary. No goodwill impairment was recorded as of March 31, 2022.

Intangible Assets

The Company recorded intangible assets with finite lives, including customer relationships and developed technology, as a result of the iQuue and SightPlan acquisitions. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis based on their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of these intangible assets are as follows.

Warranty Allowance

The Company provides its customers with limited service warranties associated with product replacement and related services. The warranty typically lasts one year following the installation of the product. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in hardware cost of revenue, are based on the results of product testing, industry and historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred and are adjusted for identified current or anticipated future trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, warranty expense included in cost of hardware revenue was $284 and $308, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company’s warranty allowance was $4,595 and $6,106, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified a deficiency with batteries contained in certain hardware sold and has included an estimate of the expected cost to remove these batteries, which were acquired from one supplier, in its warranty allowance. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company identified additional deficient batteries, and while the number of deficient batteries is less than one percent of the total number of all batteries deployed, the Company has elected to replace such batteries from previously deployed hardware devices. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, $3,221 and $3,166, respectively, is included in the Company’s warranty allowance related to the remaining cost of replacement for this identified battery deficiency.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company assessed the provisions of Legacy SmartRent’s convertible preferred stock including redemption rights, dividends and voting rights to determine the appropriate classification. The Company determined that Legacy SmartRent’s shares of convertible preferred stock are appropriately classified as mezzanine equity because they were contingently redeemable into cash upon the occurrence of an event not solely within Legacy SmartRent’s control. When it is probable that a convertible preferred share will become redeemable, adjustments are recorded to adjust the carrying values. No such adjustments have been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or year ended December 31, 2021. As a result of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy SmartRent convertible preferred stock and common stock was converted into the right to receive approximately 4.8846 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Refer to Note 7, Convertible Preferred Stock and Equity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities subject to on-going fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets but corroborated by market data.

12


SMARTRENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.

This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial measurements at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from sales of systems that consist of hardware devices, professional services and hosted services to assist property owners and property managers with visibility and control over assets, while providing all-in-one home control offerings for residents. Revenue is recorded when control of these products and services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products and services.

The Company may enter into contracts that contain multiple distinct performance obligations. The transaction price for a typical arrangement includes the price for: smart home hardware devices, which devices currently consist of door-locks, thermostats, sensors and light switches; a hub device, represented by either the Alloy Fusion or the Alloy SmartHub; professional services; and, a subscription for use of our proprietary software. The Company considers delivery for each of the hardware, professional services and the combination of the hardware Alloy SmartHub device with proprietary software (the “hosted services”) to be separate performance obligations. The hardware Alloy SmartHub device and the software subscription are not sold separately. The hardware performance obligation includes the delivery of smart home hardware devices and the Alloy Fusion device, which provides features that function independently without subscription to the Company’s proprietary software. The professional services performance obligation includes the services to install the hardware. The hosted services performance obligation provides a subscription that allows the customer access to software during the contracted-use term when the promised service is transferred to the customer. Contracts containing the Alloy SmartHub device, which only functions with the subscription to the Company’s proprietary software and related hosting services, are considered a single performance obligation. The Company partners with several manufacturers to offer a range of compatible hardware products for its customers. The Company maintains control of the hardware purchased from manufacturers prior to it being transferred to the customer. The Company has discretion in establishing the price the customer will pay for the good or service. Consequently, the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product and the Company is considered the principal in these arrangements.

For each performance obligation identified, the Company estimates the standalone selling price, which represents the price at which the Company would sell the device or service separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price, considering available information such as market conditions, historical pricing data, and internal pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. The Company then allocates the transaction price among those obligations based on the estimation of the standalone selling price.

Payments are received by the Company by credit card, check or automated clearing house (“ACH”) payments and payment terms are determined by individual contracts and generally range from due upon receipt to net 30 days. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenue. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are reported as deferred revenue. We have elected the following practical expedients following the adoption of ASC 606:

Shipping and handling costs: the Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as fulfillment activities (i.e., an expense) rather than as a promised service. Amounts billed for shipping and handling fees are recorded as revenue.
Sales tax collected from customers: the Company elected to exclude from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by a government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer.
Measurement of the transaction price: the Company applies the practical expedient that allows for inclusion of the future auto-renewals in the initial measurement of the transaction price. The Company only applies these steps when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to a customer.

13


SMARTRENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Significant financing component: the Company elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of promised goods or services and when the customer pays for the goods or services will be one year or less.

Timing of Revenue Recognition is as follows.

Hardware Revenue

Hardware revenue results from the direct sale to customers of hardware smart home devices, which devices currently consist of door-locks, thermostats, sensors, and light switches. These smart home devices connect to either the Alloy Fusion or the Alloy SmartHub. The performance obligation for hardware revenue is considered satisfied, and revenue is recognized at a point in time, when the hardware device is shipped to the customer, except for the Alloy SmartHub, which is discussed in “Hosted Services Revenue” below. The Alloy Fusion device provides features that function independently without subscription to our proprietary software, and the performance obligation for hardware revenue is considered satisfied and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Alloy Fusion hub is shipped to the customer. The Company generally provides a one-year warranty period on hardware devices that are delivered and installed. The cost of the warranty is recorded as a component of cost of hardware revenue.

Professional Services Revenue

Professional services revenue results from installing smart home hardware devices, which does not result in significant customization of the product and is generally performed over a period from two to four weeks. Installations can be performed by the Company's employees, contracted out to a third-party with the Company's employees managing the engagement, or the customer can perform the installation themselves. The Company’s professional services contracts are generally arranged on a fixed price basis and revenue is recognized over the period in which the installations are completed.

Hosted Services Revenue

Hosted services revenue consists of recurring monthly subscription revenue generated from fees that provide customers’ access to one or more of the Company’s proprietary software applications including access controls, asset monitoring and related services. These subscription arrangements have contractual terms typically ranging from one-month to seven-years and include recurring fixed plan subscription fees. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time. Customers are granted continuous access to the services over the contractual period. Accordingly, fees collected for subscription services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date the subscription service is made available to the customer. Variable consideration is immaterial.

The Company also sells the Alloy SmartHub hardware hub device. The Alloy SmartHub device functions only with the subscription to the Company’s proprietary software applications and related hosting services and is sold only on an integrated basis with the subscription to the software. The Company considers the Alloy SmartHub device and hosting services subscription a single performance obligation and therefore defers the recognition of revenue for the hub devices. The Alloy Fusion device operates together with the proprietary software, but also provides features with stand-alone functionality without subscription to the Company’s proprietary software, and the performance obligation for hardware revenue is considered satisfied and revenue is recorded at the point in time when the Alloy Fusion hub is shipped to the customer. When a hub device is included in a contract that does not require a long-term service commitment, the customer obtains a material right to renew the service because purchasing a new device is not required upon renewal. If a contract contains a material right, proceeds are allocated to the material right and recognized over the period of benefit, which is generally four years.

Recent Accounting Guidance

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and must be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 may have an impact on the Company’s accounting for accounts receivable, bad debt expense, and loans receivable included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company is evaluating the extent of such impact.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, primarily by eliminating certain exceptions found in the Accounting Standards Codification, section 740. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted ASU No. 2019-12 effective January 1, 2022, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the earnout payment is measured on a recurring basis at each reporting date. The following inputs and assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the earnout payment as of December 31, 2021. The inputs and assumptions were not significantly different from December 31, 2021, and as a result, the change in fair value was immaterial. Thus, no change to the fair value of the earnout payment was recorded as of March 31, 2022. See Note 13 for more information regarding the earnout payment.

NOTE 6. DEBT

 

Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit Facility

In December 2021, the Company entered into a $75,000 Senior Revolving Facility with a five-year term (the "Senior Revolving Facility"). The Senior Revolving Facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility in the aggregate availability of $10,000 as a sublimit of the Senior Revolving Facility, and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability of $10,000 as a sublimit of the Senior Revolving Facility. Proceeds from the Senior Revolving Facility are to be used for general corporate purposes. Amounts borrowed under the Senior Revolving Facility may be repaid and, prior to the Senior Revolving Facility maturity date, reborrowed. The Senior Revolving Facility terminates on the Senior Revolving Facility maturity date in December 2026, when the principal amount of all advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other obligations relating to the Senior Revolving Facility shall be immediately due and payable. The Company has yet to draw on the Senior Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2022. The Company accounted for the cancellation of its previous revolving facility and the issuance of the Senior Revolving Facility as an exchange with the same creditor. As a result, all costs related to entering into the Senior Revolving Facility that are allowed to be deferred are recorded as a deferred asset and included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs totaled $665 and will be amortized ratably over the five-year term of the Senior Revolving Facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $27 of amortization expense in connection with these costs, which is a component of Interest Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Interest rates for draws upon the Senior Revolving Facility are determined by whether the Company elects a secured overnight financing rate loan (“SOFR Loan”) or alternate base rate loan (”ABR Loan”). For SOFR Loans, the interest rate is based upon the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR as published by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA) plus an applicable margin, subject to a floor of 0.00%. For ABR Loans, the interest rate is based upon the highest of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate plus an applicable margin, or 3.25%. As of March 31, 2022, the applicable margins for SOFR Loans and ABR Loans under the Senior Revolving Facility were 0.10% and 0.50%, respectively.

In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal balance under the Senior Revolving Facility, the Company is required to pay a facility fee to the lender in respect of the unused commitments thereunder. The facility fee rate is based on the daily unused amount of the Senior Revolving Facility and is one fourth of one percent (0.25%) per annum based on the unused facility amount.

The Senior Revolving Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Such covenants will, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to (i) engage in certain mergers or consolidations, (ii) sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (iii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (iv) make changes in the nature of the Company’s business and our subsidiaries, and (v) incur additional indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Senior Revolving Facility.

The Senior Revolving Facility also requires the Company, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, to maintain a minimum cash balance. If the minimum cash balance is not maintained, the Company is required to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio. If an event of default occurs, the lender is entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Senior Revolving Facility and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. As of March 31, 2022, and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, the Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants.

The Senior Revolving Facility is collateralized by first priority or equivalent security interests in substantially all the property, rights, and assets of the Company.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no outstanding principal amount under the Senior Revolving Facility.

In August 2019, Legacy SmartRent entered into a loan and security agreement for a Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provided $15,000 of borrowing capacity and consisted of a $10,000 Revolving Facility, which originally matured in August 2021, but was extended to December 2021, and a $5,000 Term Loan Facility, with a maturity date of November 2023. The Term Loan Facility was subject to monthly payments of interest, in arrears, accrued on the principal balance of the Term Loan Facility through November 2020. Thereafter, and continuing through the Term Loan Facility maturity date, the Term Loan Facility was subject to equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest. Proceeds from the Credit Facility were used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company issued warrants (see Note 7) to purchase Legacy SmartRent’s common stock, which were subsequently exercised on September 7, 2021 pursuant to a cashless exercise and resulting in the issuance of 147,911 shares of Common Stock. At the time of issuance, the fair value of the warrants was recorded as additional paid-in capital with a reduction to the carrying value of the Term Loan Facility. The resulting discount from outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Facility was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the periods to maturity. Amortization of this discount is recorded as interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Comprehensive Loss. In December 2021, the Credit Facility was cancelled upon the repayment in full of the Term Loan Facility principal and accrued interest. The repayment of the Term Loan Facility was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt.

NOTE 7. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND EQUITY

 

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company has retroactively adjusted the shares issued and outstanding prior to August 24, 2021 to give effect to the Exchange Ratio to determine the number of shares of Common Stock into which they were converted.

Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy SmartRent had shares of $0.00001 par value Series Seed, Series A, Series B, Series B-1, Series C, and Series C-1 preferred stock outstanding, all of which were convertible into shares of common stock of Legacy SmartRent on a 1:1 basis, subject to certain anti-dilution protections. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into Common Stock of the Company based on the Exchange Ratio of approximately 4.8846.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, 24,816 outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into 121,214 shares of Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio of 4.8846.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Legacy SmartRent issued an additional 3,358 shares of Series C preferred stock through two tranches that closed in February and March 2021. The Series C preferred stock was issued in exchange for $35,000 gross cash proceeds. Expenses in connection with the issuance of the Series C preferred stock were $207, resulting in net cash proceeds of $34,793.

Warrants

In February 2021, Legacy SmartRent issued 750 warrants to purchase Legacy SmartRent’s common stock as consideration to certain customers. The warrants are exercisable upon issuance until their expiration in February 2031 or earlier upon redemption. The number of warrants issued to these customers is dependent on the number of installed units, as defined by the warrant agreements, purchased by the customer. The fair value of the vested portion of the warrants has been recorded as additional paid in capital and contra-revenue on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. For the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively, the Company recorded $2 and $22, as contra-revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations related to these warrants. As part of the Business Combination on August 24, 2021, these warrants converted to warrants to purchase 3,663 shares of Common Stock at $0.01 per share pursuant to the Exchange Ratio and remain outstanding.

In April 2020, in connection with the closing of the second tranche of the Series C preferred stock, Legacy SmartRent issued a warrant to purchase common stock to an investor who participated in the second tranche closing. The warrant represents compensation paid for marketing services to be provided and was accounted for using stock-based compensation guidance. The warrant vests based on the number of installed units attained over a measurement period, which expires in April 2023. The variability in the units earned was determined to be a performance condition and did not require classification of the warrant as a liability. Upon vesting, the warrant holder is entitled to purchase 384 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Legacy SmartRent’s common stock at $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the warrant. The Company measured the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company records the associated marketing expense over the service period as the units are installed with an offset to additional paid-in-capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively, the Company recognized $217 and $210 of sales and marketing expense related to these warrants. As part of the Business Combination on August 24, 2021, these warrants converted to warrants to purchase 1,876 shares of Common Stock pursuant the Exchange Ratio. The remaining warrants fully vested during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (see Note 14).

In August 2019, in connection with the Credit Facility (Note 6), Legacy SmartRent issued warrants to purchase common stock of Legacy SmartRent to the lender. The warrants were exercisable upon issuance until their expiration in August 2029 or earlier upon redemption. The holder of the warrants, together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee, was entitled to purchase 33 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Legacy SmartRent’s common stock at $2.30 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the warrant. The fair value of the warrants has been recorded as additional paid in capital and a reduction to the carrying value of the Term Loan Facility. The resulting discount from outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Facility was being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the periods to maturity. Amortization of this discount was recorded as interest expense. The warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2021 as discussed above (Note 6).

In March 2019, Legacy SmartRent issued a warrant to purchase common stock to the purchaser of a $2,500 convertible note. The warrant represented compensation paid for marketing services to be provided and was accounted for using stock-based compensation guidance. The warrant vested based on the number of installed units attained over a measurement period, which expired in March 2021. The variability in the units earned was determined to be a performance condition and did not require classification of the warrant as a liability. Upon vesting, the warrant holder was entitled to purchase up to 503 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Legacy SmartRent’s common stock at $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the warrant. The Company measured the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Company recorded the associated marketing expense over the service period as the units were installed with an offset to additional paid-in-capital. These warrants were exercised by the holder in March 2021, which resulted in 503 shares of common stock being issued by Legacy SmartRent. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no sales and marketing expense related to these warrants is in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

2018 Stock Plan

Legacy SmartRent’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the SmartRent.com, Inc. 2018 Stock Plan (the “2018 Stock Plan”), effective March 2018. The purpose of the 2018 Stock Plan was to advance the interests of Legacy SmartRent and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for Legacy SmartRent and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of Legacy SmartRent. The 2018 Stock Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for awards in the form of options, restricted stock purchase rights or restricted stock bonuses. Awards granted under the 2018 Stock Plan generally expire ten years from the date of grant and become vested and exercisable over a four-year period. All options are subject to certain provisions that may impact these vesting schedules. As part of the Business Combination on August 24, 2021, all awards issued under the 2018 Stock Plan were assumed by the Company and converted to options to purchase Common Stock and RSUs for Common Stock using the Exchange Ratio.

Summaries of the Company’s 2018 Stock Plan activity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is presented below.

Amendment to the 2018 Stock Plan

In April 2021, the board of directors of Legacy SmartRent executed a unanimous written consent to provide an additional incentive to certain employees of Legacy SmartRent by amending the 2018 Stock Plan to allow for the issuance of RSUs and granted a total of 1,533 RSUs to certain employees which vest over four years. The estimated fair value for each RSU issued was approximately $21.55 per share and the total stock-based compensation expense to be amortized over the vesting period is $33,033. As part of the Business Combination on August 24, 2021 these RSUs were assumed by the Company and converted to 7,489 RSUs at a per share fair value of $4.41 pursuant to the Exchange Ratio and remain outstanding as of March 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, $843 of stock compensation expense was recorded for these awards. The outstanding RSUs also contain a liquidity event vesting condition which was satisfied upon closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Company recognized an additional one-time stock-based compensation expense of $2,827 in August 2021 as a retroactive catch-up of cumulative stock-based compensation expense for such awards from their original grant dates.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with the Business Combination, the board of directors approved and implemented the SmartRent, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to enhance our ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make, or are expected to make, important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities and equity-linked compensation opportunities.

The 2021 Plan authorizes the compensation committee to provide incentive compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock and stock units, performance shares and units, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 15,500 shares of stock. As part of the Business Combination on August 24, 2021, the RSUs granted in the 2018 Stock Plan were assumed by the Company and converted to 7,489 restricted stock units pursuant to the Exchange Ratio and remain outstanding. In August 2021, 354 RSUs were granted to certain executives and the board of directors at a fair value of $12.10. Non-employee board member RSUs will vest either over one year or three years. The RSUs granted to employees

are generally subject to a four-year vesting schedule and all vesting shall be subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries through the applicable vesting dates. In November 2021, the Company granted 72 RSUs to certain executives pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These RSUs had a fair value of $12.10 at the time of the grant and will vest over four years. During the period ending March 31, 2022, the Company granted 1,510 RSUs to certain employees pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. These RSUs had a fair value of $7.54 at the time of the grant and will vest over four years. No right to any Common Stock is earned or accrued until such time that vesting occurs, nor does the grant of the RSU award confer any right to continue vesting or employment. Compensation expense associated with the unvested RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, stock-based compensation expense of $3,123 was recognized in connection with the vesting of all RSUs. See footnote 14 for additional information in connection with the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. No stock-based compensation expense related the RSUs was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has the ability to initially issue up to 2,000 shares of Common Stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), subject to annual increases effective as of January 1, 2022 and each subsequent January 1 through and including January 1, 2030 in an amount equal to the smallest of (i) 1% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 2,000 shares or (iii) such amount, if any, as the Board may determine. During the three months ending March 31, 2022, stock-based compensation expense of $86 was recognized in connection with the ESPP. No expense related to the ESPP was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

The fair value of stock option grants is estimated by the Company on the date of grant using the Black Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Expected life – The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method.

Risk-Free Interest Rate – The risk-free rate is based on the US Treasury zero coupon issuances in effect at the time of the grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option.

Expected Volatility – The expected volatility is based on the average of the implied volatility of publicly traded options for our common stock and the historical volatility of the Company's Common Stock.

Dividend Yield – The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to declare any dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s effective tax rate (ETR) from continuing operations was 17.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and (0.49%) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s ETR during the three months ended March 31, 2022 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to changes in valuation allowance and foreign taxes.

The Company recorded net deferred tax liabilities in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, due to the acquisition of SightPlan. Those net deferred tax liabilities provide a source of taxable income to offset future tax deductions from deferred tax assets, and as a result, management reduced the valuation allowance by $4.8 million during the quarter.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred marketing expense of $217 and $210, respectively, in connection with the vesting of warrants held by an investor.

The Company incurred consulting expense of $20 included in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to services provided by companies in which one of the Company's executives have control or significant influence. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred consulting expenses from these companies of $15.

On March 22, 2022, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of SightPlan (see Note 13). One of our directors, through a personal investment vehicle, held an unsecured convertible promissory note in SightPlan (the “SightPlan Convertible Note”).

participate in any negotiations, recused himself from all board discussions related to the SightPlan acquisition, and did not vote on the matter.

Entities affiliated with RET, which currently hold more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, held more than 17% of the fully diluted shares outstanding of SightPlan (the “RET SightPlan Holdings”). As consideration for the RET SightPlan Holdings, entities affiliated with RET received $22,271 at the closing of the SightPlan acquisition. None of the Company's executive officers or directors hold any economic interest in RET and RET does not have a designee on the Company's board of directors. Further, RET did not assist the Company with any negotiations or participate in the Company's board discussions related to the SightPlan acquisition.

 

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Liabilities are accrued when it is believed that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the potential loss. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings or matters will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company entered into an agreement with a supplier in April 2020, as further amended in March 2021, to purchase minimum volumes of certain products through August 2022. Due to significant failure rates and other defects, the Company ceased ordering product from this supplier as of December 2020. Despite the Company’s requests, the supplier indicated they are not willing to refund the Company for the malfunctioning products previously purchased, and therefore, the Company filed a complaint against the supplier on March 22, 2022 in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara. As of the date of this filing, the supplier has not yet filed a response to the complaint. The Company does not believe it has any further commitment to the supplier.

The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal claims, actions and enforcement matters, if any exist, to determine if accruals for expected negative outcomes of such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates any such outstanding matters based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel. There is no assurance that the Company's accruals for loss contingencies will not need to be adjusted in the future. The amount of such adjustment could significantly exceed the accruals the Company has recorded. The Company had no such accruals as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

 

NOTE 13. ACQUISITIONS

 

iQuue Acquisition

On December 31, 2021, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of iQuue, LLC. iQuue was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Altamonte Springs, Florida. iQuue is a software-as-a-service ("SaaS") company providing a smart home and smart building technology platform for property owners, managers, and residents in the multifamily industry. Backed by Samsung SmartThings, the iQuue technology platform is capable of integrating with any smart device. iQuue offerings include access control, door code management, managed WiFi, and professional installation.

The Company accounted for the iQuue acquisition as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price consisted of $7,213 of cash and restricted cash, estimated fair market value of $5,230 in contingent consideration relating to three earnout payments tied to the attainment of installed unit targets during the period of December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2025, and a Net Working Capital Adjustment of $508 to be paid out 91 days after the acquisition date. On the acquisition date, the Company paid cash of $6,192, and placed $1,021 in escrow accounts. As of March 31, 2022, the current escrow deposits are classified as “Restricted cash, current portion” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines current or non-current classification based on the expected duration of the restriction. The maximum value of the earnout payments is $6,375. To the extent these are earned, they will be payable in cash on, or promptly after, the earnout period dates of December 31, 2022, December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2025. The $5,230 fair value of the earnout payments is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model based on installed unit projections during the period of December 31, 2021 through June 30, 2025, implied revenue volatility, a risk-adjusted discount rate, and a credit spread. Each reporting period, the Company is required to remeasure the fair value of the earnout liability as assumptions change and such adjustments will be recorded as a gain or loss in other income (expense), net within the Consolidated Statement

26


SMARTRENT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The fair value of the earnout liability falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as a result of the unobservable inputs used for the measurement. The Company determined there was no change to the fair value of the earnout during the period ending March 31, 2022 and therefore, no gain or loss was recorded.

As part of the business combination, the Company agreed to pay up to approximately $742 to the former shareholders of iQuue over the next three years, subject to the shareholders’ continued employment at the Company. As this payment is contingent upon the continuous service of the key employees, it is accounted for as post-combination compensation expense and is being recognized ratably over the service period of three years. The Company deposited $742 cash in escrow on the acquisition date for this obligation. The current portion of the escrow deposit is classified as “Restricted cash, current portion” and the non-current portion is classified as a component of "Other long-term assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $62 of compensation expense in connection with this bonus.

The fair value and allocation of the business combination are preliminary, are based upon management’s best estimates and assumptions, and are subject to future revision. The Company will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the acquisition date, once it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date may result in adjustments to the preliminary amounts disclosed above which may impact the reported results in the period those adjustments are identified.

The total purchase consideration and the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities at the acquisition date were as follows.

The Company recognized approximately $234 of acquisition related costs that were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and are included in general and administrative expenses.

The fair value of the assets acquired includes accounts receivable of $721. The gross amount due under contracts for accounts receivable is $721, all of which is expected to be collected. The Company did not acquire any other class of receivable as a result of the acquisition of iQuue.

The aggregate purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets associated with the acquisition totaled $3,590 and primarily related to customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $8,504. The goodwill is attributable primarily to the workforce of the acquired business and expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations and is deductible over 15 years for income tax purposes.

The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method based on discounted projected net cash flows associated with the net earnings attributable to the acquired customer relationships. The fair value of the acquired developed technology was determined using the relief from royalty method, which measures the value by estimating the cost savings associated with owning the asset rather than licensing it. The income approach methodology involves estimating cash flows over the remaining economic life of the intangible assets, which are considered from a market participant perspective. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth rates and customer attrition rates. The projected future cash flows were discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. As such, all aforementioned intangible assets were valued using Level 3 inputs. During the three months ending March 31, 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $141 related to intangible assets. There was no such amortization expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the acquisition occurred on December 31, 2021. These intangible assets are deductible over 15 years for income tax purposes.

The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022, and other financial statements presented herein for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 include the results of operations of iQuue since the acquisition date. Pro forma disclosures have not been provided since the acquisition did not have, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

SightPlan Acquisition

On March 22, 2022, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests of SightPlan for approximately $135,000. SightPlan was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. SightPlan is a SaaS company that provides a real estate operating platform offering automated answering, resident engagement, field service and maintenance management, inspections management, and due diligence and audit management services to real estate owners and managers.

The Company accounted for the SightPlan acquisition as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price consisted of $131,781 of cash and restricted cash and a post-closing downward adjustment of $(127). On the acquisition date, the Company paid cash consideration of $130,931 and placed $850 in escrow accounts legally owned by the Company. As of March 31, 2022, $11,428 of the cash consideration paid has yet to be transferred to former SightPlan shareholders and is classified in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022, the current escrow deposits are classified as restricted cash, current portion and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines current or non-current classification based on the expected duration of the restriction.

As part of the business combination, the Company agreed to pay up to approximately $5,760 to the former employees of SightPlan on the one-year anniversary of the acquisition date, subject to continued employment at the Company. As this payment is contingent upon the continuous service of the employees, it is accounted for as post-combination expense and will be recognized ratably over the service period of one year. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $142 to general and administrative expenses on the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and to other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in connection with this contingent consideration. The Company deposited $5,760 cash in escrow on the acquisition date for this obligation. The escrow deposit is classified as restricted cash, current portion.

The fair value and allocation of the business combination are preliminary, are based upon management’s best estimates and assumptions, and are subject to future revision. The Company will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the acquisition date, once it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date may result in adjustments to the preliminary amounts disclosed above which may impact the reported results in the period those adjustments are identified.

The Company recognized approximately $523 of acquisition related costs that were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and are included in general and administrative expenses.

The fair value of the assets acquired includes accounts receivable of $1,284. The gross amount due under contracts for accounts receivable is $1,284, substantially all of which is expected to be collected. The Company did not acquire any other class of receivable as a result of the acquisition of SightPlan.

In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). Upon the adoption of this update, contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination will be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers as if the acquirer had originated the contracts, which would generally result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on October 1, 2021, prior to the acquisition of SightPlan. Therefore, SightPlan’s historical deferred revenue balance as of March 22, 2022 has been included in the purchase price allocation in accordance with ASU 2021-08.

The aggregate purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets associated with the acquisition totaled $26,500 and primarily related to customer relationships and developed technology. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $108,440. The goodwill is attributable primarily to the workforce of the acquired business and expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations and is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company recorded intangible assets at their fair value, which consisted of the following.

The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method based on discounted projected net cash flows associated with the net earnings attributable to the acquired customer relationships. The fair value of the trade name and the acquired developed technology was determined using the relief from royalty method, which measures the value by estimating the cost savings associated with owning the asset rather than licensing it. The income approach methodology involves estimating cash flows over the remaining economic life of the intangible assets, which are considered from a market participant perspective. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth rates and customer attrition rates. The projected future cash flows were discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. As such, all aforementioned intangible assets were valued using Level 3 inputs. During the three months ending March 31, 2022, the Company recorded amortization expense of $78 related to intangible assets. There was no such amortization expense recorded in the year ended December 31, 2021 as the acquisition occurred on March 22, 2022. These intangible assets are deductible over 15 years for income tax purposes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022.

This discussion also contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” and “SmartRent” generally refer to SmartRent Technologies, Inc., Legacy SmartRent, and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination.

Overview

SmartRent is an enterprise technology company that provides a comprehensive real estate platform designed for property owners, managers and residents. Our suite of products and services, which includes both smart building hardware and cloud-based SaaS solutions, provides seamless visibility and control over real estate assets. Our comprehensive platform lowers operating costs, increases revenues, mitigates operational friction and protects assets for owners and operators, while providing a differentiated, elevated living experience for residents. Through our central connected device, called SmartHub, we integrate our proprietary enterprise software with third-party smart devices and other technology interfaces through an open-architecture, brand-agnostic approach, which allows owners, operators, and residents to manage their smart home systems through a single connected interface. Our products and solutions include smart apartments and homes, access control for buildings, common areas, and rental units, asset protection and monitoring, parking management, self-guided tours, and community and resident Wi-Fi. We also have a professional services team operating across the United States through which we provide customers with installation, training, and support services. Our recent SightPlan acquisition advances our product roadmap and augments the cloud-based SaaS solutions for current and prospective customers.

 

We believe SmartRent is the category leader in the enterprise smart home solutions industry. As of March 31, 2022, our customers owned an aggregate of approximately 5.1 million units, representing approximately 12% of the U.S. market for institutionally owned multifamily rental units and single-family rental homes, and included 15 of the top 20 multifamily residential owners in the United States. In addition to multifamily residential owners, our customers include some of the leading homebuilders, single-family rental homeowners, and iBuyers in the United States.

We estimate that the U.S. market for residential real estate consists of approximately 44 million institutionally owned multifamily rental units and single-family rental homes as of March 31, 2022. While several of the top multifamily residential owners are current SmartRent customers, we believe that we have only begun to take advantage of the full market opportunity in residential and commercial real estate sectors and in domestic and international markets. For example, we recently adapted our software and applications to target new opportunities in other residential real estate sectors, including student housing, senior housing, and new construction homes. In addition, we believe there is significant potential for growth beyond residential real estate to other commercial real estate asset classes, including, among others, office, hotel, retail, industrial, and self-storage. Furthermore, we believe there is an attractive opportunity to expand our smart home solutions into other markets globally and have started pilot programs and/or developed partner relationships in the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, and Ireland.

We have designed our open-architecture, brand-agnostic smart home operating system to help the residential real estate industry become more efficient and effective. Importantly, our enterprise software integrates into most existing property management systems used by residential property owners and operators. With features specifically designed to increase productivity, while decreasing operating costs, we estimate that owners and operators can realize a 50% return on investment after installation of our smart home operating system.

The Business Combination

On August 24, 2021, we consummated the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy SmartRent, with Legacy SmartRent continuing as the surviving company and changing its name to “SmartRent Technologies, Inc.” In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we changed our name from “Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I” to “SmartRent, Inc.” and changed our trading symbol and exchange listing from “FWAA” on Nasdaq to “SMRT” on the NYSE.

31


 

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy SmartRent’s preferred stock converted into one share of Legacy SmartRent's common stock. As a result of and upon the closing of the Business Combination, (i) each share of common stock of Legacy SmartRent was canceled and converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration comprised of shares of FWAA’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 ("Class A Common Stock") as determined pursuant to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) each share of FWAA’s Class B common stock, was canceled and converted into Class A Common Stock, and (iii) each restricted stock unit, outstanding option and warrant to purchase Legacy SmartRent's common stock (whether vested or unvested) was assumed by FWAA and converted into comparable restricted stock units, options or warrants that are exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock, with a value determined in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Under the guidance in FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” FWAA is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. SmartRent Technologies, Inc. is deemed the accounting predecessor of the combined business and the successor SEC registrant, meaning that our financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Business Combination had a significant impact on our reported financial condition and results of operations as a consequence of the reverse capitalization. The most significant change in our reported financial condition and results of operations was a net increase in cash (as compared to our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2021) of approximately $444.6 million, which includes approximately $155.0 million in proceeds from the PIPE Investment (described below), offset by additional transaction costs for the Business Combination. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination are approximately $56.0 million, including $12.1 million which represents deferred underwriter fees from the FWAA IPO.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, holders of 246 shares of FWAA Class A Common Stock elected to have their shares redeemed.

On April 21, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, FWAA entered into subscription agreements with certain investors to which such investors collectively subscribed for an aggregate of 15,500,000 shares of Class A common stock at $10.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $155,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investments were consummated substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination.

Our Model

Our smart home products and solutions provide an enterprise-grade holistic approach to what it means to be a connected community. A SmartRent connected community is a “curb to couch” concept where an entire property utilizes a variety of proprietary and third-party smart devices from various manufacturers and features that can be remotely managed to provide efficiency, automation, asset protection and ancillary revenue opportunities. A SmartRent connected community can combine in-rental unit smart home technology with our Alloy Access control system and our Alloy Parking system, which are connected by our Community WiFi solution and can be managed remotely using our core smart home operating system, Community Manager.

Impact of COVID-19

The extensive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. In an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19, a number of countries, states, and other jurisdictions have imposed, and may impose in the future, various measures, including voluntary and mandatory quarantines, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, limitations on gatherings, reduced operations and extended business closures.

While the broader and long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our workforce, operations and supply chain, customer demand, results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain, we believe that we will continue to experience COVID-related disruptions to our business through 2022. For example, we have experienced production delays on our sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics channels, including SmartHub production delays as a result of a global shortage of Z-wave chips. Additionally, although we continue to see strong demand for our products, we have experienced purchasing delays from current and prospective customers where COVID-19 and related supply chain delays on their projects have pushed a portion of the transactions we expected to be completed in early 2022 to later in the year.

Comparability of Financial Information

Our future results of operations and financial position may not be comparable to historical results as a result of the Business Combination.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our future success will be dependent on many factors, including those further discussed below. Our future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges and other factors, including our ability to grow our customer base in a cost-effective manner, expand our hardware and hosted service offerings to generate

32


 

increased revenue per Unit Deployed (as defined below), provide high quality hardware products and hosted service applications to maximize revenue and improve the leverage of our business model. While these areas represent opportunities for us, they also represent challenges and risks that we must successfully address in order to operate our business.

Investing in Research and Development

Our performance is significantly dependent on the investments we make in research and development, including our ability to attract and retain highly skilled research and development personnel. We must continually develop and introduce innovative new software services and hardware products, integrate with third-party products and services, mobile applications and other new offerings. If we fail to innovate and enhance our brand and our products, our market position and revenue will likely be adversely affected.

Active Supply Chain Management

We are focused on successfully navigating global supply chain disruptions. Specifically, increased demand for electronics as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. trade relations with China and certain other factors have led to a global shortage of semiconductors, including Z‑wave chips, which are a central component of our SmartHubs. Due to this shortage, we have experienced SmartHub production delays, which have occasionally affected our ability to meet scheduled installations and facilitate customer upgrades to our higher-margin Alloy Fusion SmartHub. We believe these supply chain disruptions may continue, with varying degrees of operational impact, through 2022.

New Products, Features and Functionality

We will need to expend additional resources to continue introducing new products, features and functionality to enhance the value of our smart home operating system. We have recently introduced a number of product enhancements and features, including the Building Access Control, Video Intercom, WiFi and Parking Management solutions. In the future, we intend to continue to release new products and solutions and enhance our existing products and solutions, and we expect that our operating results will be impacted by these releases.

The acquisition of SightPlan enhances our overall platform offering and customer value proposition by providing a comprehensive one-stop platform that broadens our support of property operations, enhancing the experience for residents, property owners and managers. Both SmartRent and SightPlan offer an open-API architecture that enables a myriad of third-party partner integrations, resulting in a multi-functional platform that enhances property management workflow efficiencies, empowers teams to get more done, elevates resident interactions, and improves resident living experiences.

Category Adoption and Market Growth

Our future growth depends in part on the continued consumer adoption of hardware and software products which improve resident experience and the growth of this market. We need to deliver solutions that enhance the resident experience and deliver value to our customers, rental property owners and operators, as well as homebuilders and developers, by providing products and solutions designed to enhance visibility and control over assets while providing additional revenue opportunities. In addition, our long-term growth depends in part on our ability to expand into international markets in the future.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of SmartRent included elsewhere in this report are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Key Operating Metrics

We regularly monitor a number of operating and financial metrics, which include certain non-GAAP financial measures in order to evaluate our operating performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, measure our progress and make strategic decisions. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide accurate predictions of future GAAP financial results.

The limitations our Key Operating Metrics have as an analytical tool are: (1) they might not accurately predict our future GAAP financial results, (2) we might not realize all or any part of the anticipated value reflected in Units Booked and (3) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate our Key Operating Metrics or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Units Deployed and New Units Deployed

We define Units Deployed as the aggregate number of SmartHubs that have been installed (including customer self-installations) as of a stated measurement date. We define New Units Deployed as the aggregate number of SmartHubs that were installed (including customer self-installations) during a stated measurement period. We use these operating metrics to assess the general health and trajectory of our business and growth. We had 51,196, and 32,486 New Units Deployed during the quarters

33


 

ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, we had an aggregate of 390,681 and 187,591 Units Deployed, respectively.

Committed Units

We define Committed Units as the aggregate number of SmartHub (i) units that are subject to binding orders from customers together with (ii) units that existing customers who are parties to a SmartRent master services agreement have informed us (on a non-binding basis) that they intend to order in the future for deployment within two years of the measurement date. We track the number of Committed Units to assess the general health and trajectory of our business and to assist in our longer-term resource analysis. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, we had 760,591 and 604,478 Committed Units, respectively.

Units Booked

We define Units Booked as the aggregate number of SmartHub units associated with binding orders executed during a stated measurement period. We utilize the concept of Units Booked to measure estimated near-term resource demand and the resulting approximate range of post-delivery revenue that we will earn and record. Units Booked represent binding orders only and accordingly are a subset of Committed Units. We had 91,482 and 45,536 Units Booked during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP before the following items: interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before the following items: stock-based compensation expense, non-employee warrant expense, and non-recurring expenses in connection with acquisitions. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to identify controllable expenses and make decisions designed to help us meet our current financial goals and optimize our financial performance, while neutralizing the impact of expenses included in our operating results which could otherwise mask underlying trends in our business. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information and reconciliation of these measures.

Annual Recurring Revenue

We define Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) as the annualized value of our recurring SaaS services revenue earned. We monitor our ARR to assess the general health and trajectory of our hosted services business. Our ARR was approximately $16.3 million and $5.3 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue primarily from sales of systems that consist of hardware devices, professional installation services and hosted services enabling property owners and property managers to have visibility and control over assets, while providing all-in-one home control offerings for residents. We record revenue as earned when control of these products and services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to collect for those products and services.

Hardware Revenue

We generate revenue from the direct sale to our customers of hardware smart home devices, which devices currently consist of door-locks, thermostats, sensors, and light switches. These smart home devices connect to either the Alloy Fusion or the Alloy SmartHub. The performance obligation for hardware revenue is considered satisfied, and revenue is recognized, when the hardware device is shipped to the customer, except for the Alloy SmartHub, which is discussed in Hosted Services Revenue below. The Alloy Fusion device operates together with the proprietary software, discussed in Hosted Services Revenue below, but also provides features that function independently without subscription to our proprietary software, and the performance obligation for hardware revenue is considered satisfied and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Alloy Fusion hub is shipped to the customer. We generally provide a one-year warranty period on hardware devices that are delivered and installed. We record the cost of the warranty as a component of cost of hardware revenue.

Professional Services Revenue

We generate professional services revenue from installing smart home hardware devices, which does not result in significant customization of the installed products and is generally performed over a period ranging from two to four weeks. Installations can be performed by our employees, can be contracted out to a third party with our employees managing the engagement, or can be performed by the customer. Professional services contracts are generally performed on a fixed-price basis and revenue is recognized over the period in which installations are completed.

34


 

Hosted Services Revenue

Hosted services consist of recurring monthly subscription revenue earned from the fees collected from customers to provide access to one or more of our software applications including access controls, asset monitoring and related services. These subscription arrangements have contractual terms typically ranging from one month to seven years and include recurring fixed plan subscription fees. Our arrangements do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of our software at any time. Customers are granted continuous access to the services over the contractual period. Accordingly, fees collected for subscription services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date the subscription service is made available to the customer. Variable consideration is immaterial.

We sell the hardware Alloy SmartHub device, which only functions with the subscription to our proprietary software applications and related hosting services. We consider the Alloy SmartHub device and hosting services subscription as a single performance obligation, and therefore we defer the recognition of revenue for the Alloy SmartHub devices that are sold with application subscriptions. The estimated average in-service life of the Alloy SmartHub devices is four years. When an Alloy SmartHub device is included in a contract that does not require a long-term service commitment, the customer obtains a material right to renew the service because purchasing a new device is not required upon renewal. If a contract contains a material right, proceeds are allocated to the material right and recognized over the period of benefit, which is generally four years.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of direct costs of products and services together with the indirect cost of estimated warranty expense and customer care and support over the life of the service arrangement. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods. We record any change to cost of job performance and job conditions in the period during which the revision is identified.

Hardware

Cost of hardware revenue consists primarily of direct costs of proprietary products, Alloy Fusion, hardware devices and supplies purchased from third-party providers, shipping costs, warehouse facility (including depreciation and amortization of capitalized assets and right-of-use assets) and infrastructure costs, personnel-related costs associated with the procurement and distribution of our products and estimated warranty expenses together with the indirect cost of customer care and support. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

In 2019, the U.S. administration imposed significant changes to U.S. trade policy with respect to China. Tariffs have subjected certain SmartRent products manufactured overseas to additional import duties. The amount of the import tariff has changed numerous times based on action by the U.S. administration. We continue to monitor the change in tariffs. If tariffs are increased, such actions may increase our cost of hardware revenue and reduce our hardware revenue margins further in the future.

Professional Services

Cost of professional services revenue consists primarily of direct costs related to personnel-related expenses for installation and supervision of installation services, general contractor expenses and travel expenses associated with installation of our products, and indirect costs that are also primarily personnel-related expenses in connection with training of and ongoing support for customers and residents. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

Hosted Services

Cost of hosted services revenue consists primarily of the amortization of the direct costs of our Alloy SmartHub device consistent with the revenue recognition period noted above in “Hosted Services Revenue” and infrastructure costs associated with providing our software applications together with the indirect cost of customer care and support over the life of the service arrangement. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods at a rate that is lower than the corresponding increase in hosted services revenue.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs directly associated with our research and development. Our research and development efforts are focused on enhancing and developing additional functionality for our existing products and on new product development. We account for the cost of research and development by capitalizing qualifying costs, which are incurred during the product development stage, and amortizing those costs over the product’s estimated useful life, which generally ranges from three to five years depending on the type of application. Costs incurred and capitalized during the product development stage generally include the costs of software configuration, coding, installation and testing. Such costs primarily include payroll and payroll related expenses for employees directly involved in the product development. We expense preliminary evaluation costs as they are incurred before the product development stage, as well as post development implementation and operation costs, such as training, maintenance and minor upgrades. We begin amortizing

35


 

capitalized costs when a project is ready for its intended use, and we periodically reassess the estimated useful life of a project considering the effects of obsolescence, technology, competition and other economic factors which may result in a shorter remaining life. We expect our research and development costs to increase in absolute dollars as we increase our investment in product development to broaden the capabilities of our solutions and introduce new products and features.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Our sales and marketing expenses consist of costs directly associated with our sales and marketing activities, which primarily include personnel-related costs, sales commissions, marketing programs, trade shows, and promotional materials. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will increase over time as we hire additional sales and marketing personnel, increase our marketing activities, grow our domestic and international operations, and continue to build brand awareness.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs associated with our general and administrative organization, professional fees for legal, accounting and other consulting services, office facility, insurance and information technology costs.

We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing requirements, additional insurance expense, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also expect to increase the size of our general and administrative staff in order to support the growth of our business.

Other Expenses

Other expenses consist primarily of interest expense, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and other income related to the operations of Zipato, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zenith Highpoint, Inc., which entities we acquired in a business combination in February 2020. Interest expense is recorded in connection with our various debt facilities. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses relate to the impact of transactions denominated in a foreign currency other than the U.S. dollar. As we have expanded our international operations, our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies has increased, which we expect to continue.

Provision for Income Taxes

The income tax benefit on the Consolidated Statement of Operations is primarily related to the valuation allowance release due to deferred tax liabilities from the SightPlan acquisition. We have established a full valuation allowance for net deferred U.S. federal and state tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods if we report taxable income. We believe that we have established an adequate allowance for our uncertain tax positions, although we can provide no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not be materially different. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

Total revenue increased by $18.2 million, or 95%, to $37.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in revenue resulted primarily from an increase in New Units Deployed during 2022 compared to 2021 and from the increased number of cumulative active subscriptions for our hosted services during 2022 compared to 2021.

Our revenue is primarily driven by New Units Deployed and the aggregate number of Units Deployed. We had 51,196 New Units Deployed during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 32,486 New Units Deployed during the same period in 2021, an increase of 18,710 New Units Deployed, or 58%. The aggregate number of Units Deployed was 390,681 at March 31, 2022, compared to 187,591 at March 31, 2021.

Hardware revenue increased by $9.7 million, or 78%, to $22.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily attributable to an increase in hardware sales volumes of $9.8 million resulting from the increase in units shipped. Average revenue per unit (“ARPU”) increased 5% to $415.33 for the 2022 period from $397.16 for the 2021 period.

Professional services revenue increased by $3.3 million, or 92%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in New Units Deployed.

Hosted services revenue increased by $5.2 million, or 164%, to $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Of the $8.3 million revenue in 2022, $4.3 million is related to hub amortization and $4.1 million is related to SaaS revenue. Revenue increased from hub amortization and SaaS by $2.4 and $2.7 million, respectively, from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase from both components of hosted services revenue resulted primarily from the increased aggregate number of Units Deployed from 187,591 units at March 31, 2021 to 390,681 units at March 31, 2022. Approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million of the increase in SaaS resulted from contributions from iQuue and SightPlan, respectively. We expect SaaS revenue to further increase as a result of the SightPlan acquisition beginning the three month period ending June 30, 2022.

We measure and evaluate Committed Units to assess the general health and trajectory of our business operations and growth. As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, SmartRent had 760,591 and 604,478 Committed Units, respectively. We utilize the concept of Units Booked to measure estimated near-term resource demand and the resulting approximate range of post-delivery revenue that we will earn and record. Units Booked represent binding orders only and accordingly are a subset of Committed Units. We had 91,482 and 45,536 Units Booked during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Total cost of revenue increased by $22.5 million, or 115%, to $42.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cost of revenue resulted primarily from an increase in the volume of sales and New Units Deployed of our smart home hardware devices, increased personnel-related costs, and the increased number of active subscriptions for our software service applications.

Hardware cost of revenue increased by $9.7 million, or 80%, to $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase in hardware cost of revenue was primarily attributable to approximately $6.9 million resulting from greater sales volumes and an increase of approximately $1.2 million for indirect personnel-related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Professional services cost of revenue increased by $9.7 million, or 178%, to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in professional services cost of revenue is primarily attributable to approximately $5.7 million resulting from increased sales volumes of our smart home devices leading to an increase in New Units Deployed and related services provided, including third-party direct labor costs. Direct personnel-related costs, and related travel costs, increased by $3.6 million as we increased our professional services staff to increase our capacity to deploy units in anticipation of increased sales volumes.

Hosted services cost of revenue increased by $3.1 million, or 158%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting from the increase in the aggregate number of Units Deployed and the resulting increase in the number of active subscriptions for our software service applications.

Research and development expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 108%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting primarily from approximately $2.0 million of personnel-related expenses, as we increased our research and development staff, and an increase in stock-based compensation of $0.8 million. We believe that our personnel-related expenses will continue to increase in future periods as we continue to develop new applications and enhance existing products and solutions including the expenses in connection with SightPlan's operations.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 194%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting primarily from approximately $1.8 million of increased personnel-related expenses as we increased our sales and marketing staff, and an increase in stock-based compensation of $0.5 million. We believe that our personnel-related expenses will continue to increase in future periods as we continue to expand our sales and marketing efforts to increase sales with existing customers and initiate business with new customers, and we expect that our conference and trade show expenses and other sales and marketing expense will increase in future periods. The number of our customers increased by 129, or 80%, to 290 at March 31, 2022, from 161 at March 31, 2021. We had 91,482 and 45,536 Units Booked during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.0 million, or 202%, to $12.0 million from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting primarily from approximately $2.5 million in personnel-related expenses, stock-based compensation of $1.7 million, business insurance of $1.7 million, primarily related to Directors and Officers insurance, and third-party consultants of $1.4 million, of which $523 was related to the SightPlan acquisition. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as we incur expenses to support the anticipated growth of our business, and the significant accounting, legal, and compliance infrastructure required to operate as a public company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our total operating expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 4%, to $23.6 million from $22.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to $0.6 million of non-recurring, third-party expenses directly attributable to our recent acquisitions of iQuue and SightPlan. We believe our total operating expenses will increase on a recurring basis beginning the three-month period ending June 30, 2022 by approximately $3.0 million as a result of the SightPlan acquisition. Additionally, we believe our total operating expenses will increase in future periods for the reasons set forth above, at a pace less than the pace of our revenue growth.

Interest expense decreased by $70 or 85%, to $12 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $82 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in net interest expense is primarily attributable to interest on the Term Loan which was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021. No interest expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022 in connection with the Term Loan as the Term loan was extinguished in November 2021.

Other income, net increased to $112, or 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $79 of other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to foreign currency adjustments.

We provided a full valuation allowance on our net U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets at March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, we had $158.7 million of U.S. federal and $170.3 million of state gross net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, which will be carried forward indefinitely for U.S. federal tax purposes and will expire on varying dates for state tax purposes. The income tax benefit is related to the valuation allowance release due to deferred tax liabilities from the SightPlan acquisition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, described below, as non-GAAP measures. We believe the presentation of both GAAP and

39


 

non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team, and it also improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and their ability to analyze our ongoing operating trends. All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures - these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to supersede or replace our GAAP results.

We define EBITDA as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA reduced by stock-based compensation expense, non-employee warrant expense, and non-recurring expenses in connection with acquisitions.

Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial and operating performance, and we believe these measures are helpful to management and external users in understanding our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA help management identify controllable cash expenses and make decisions designed to help us meet our identified financial and operational goals and to optimize our financial performance, while neutralizing the impact of some expenses included in our operating results caused by external influences over which management has little or no control and by non-recurring, or unusual, events that might otherwise mask trends in our performance. Accordingly, we believe these metrics measure our financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely our cost structure and expenses.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides information useful to investors in assessing our results of operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income or loss. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not used as measures of our liquidity and should not be considered alternatives to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of other companies due to the fact that not all companies use the same definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss (as determined in accordance with GAAP) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Debt Issuances

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $278.0 million, which were held for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our cash equivalents are comprised primarily of money market funds. To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been the net proceeds we received through the private issuance of our convertible SmartRent preferred stock, the net proceeds received as a result of the Business Combination, payments collected from sales to our customers, and proceeds from a Revolving Facility (defined below), convertible notes and Term Loan Facility (defined below). The term of our Revolving Facility matured in August 2021, and we extended the maturity of the Revolving Facility through December 2021, at which time, we revised the Revolving Facility and entered into a $75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a five-year term.

40


 

In December 2021, we revised our Revolving Facility and entered into a $75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a five-year term (the "Senior Revolving Facility"). Interest rates for advances from the Senior Revolving Facility are determined by whether the Company elects a secured overnight financing rate loan (“SOFR Loan”) or alternate base rate loan (”ABR Loan”). For SOFR Loans, the interest rate is based upon the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR as published by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA) plus an applicable margin, subject to a floor of 0.00%. For ABR Loans, the interest rate is based upon the highest of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate plus an applicable margin, or 3.25%. As of December 31, 2021, the applicable margins for SOFR Loans and ABR Loans under the Senior Revolving Facility were 0.10% and 0.50%, respectively. The Senior Revolving Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and guaranteed by each of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries.

In February 2020, Legacy SmartRent issued a subordinated convertible note in the principal amount of $0.1 million, bearing interest at 5% per annum, pursuant to a note purchase agreement (the “February 2020 Convertible Note”). Interest on the February 2020 Convertible Note accrued at the coupon rate, compounded annually. The February 2020 Convertible Note was converted in March 2020 into shares of Legacy SmartRent Series C-1 Preferred Stock, which automatically converted into a number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination.

In August 2019, we entered into a loan and security agreement for a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provided $15.0 million of borrowing capacity and consisted of a $10.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), which matured in December 2021 and a $5.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”), which was to mature in November 2023. In December 2021, the balance of the Term Loan Facility was repaid and we revised the Credit Facility and entered into the Senior Revolving Facility.

Legacy SmartRent Preferred Stock Issuances

During the year ended December 31, 2020, Legacy SmartRent issued a total of approximately 5.5 million shares of Series C Preferred Stock in three tranches that closed in March, April, and May 2020, respectively. The Series C Preferred Stock was issued in exchange for $57.5 million gross cash proceeds. Expenses in connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock were $0.1 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of $57.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Legacy SmartRent also issued 761 shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock (which automatically converted into a number of shares of Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination) in connection with the redemption of certain convertible notes.

In February and March 2021, Legacy SmartRent issued approximately 3.4 million additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock (which automatically converted into a number of shares of Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination) in exchange for $35.0 million gross cash proceeds. Expenses in connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock were $0.2 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of $34.8 million.

We have incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and significant losses from operations in the past as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $178.0 million as of March 31, 2022. We may require additional capital to continue our operations in future periods. We expect to incur expenses related to non-cancellable contractual obligations such as from our operating leases.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, available borrowing capacity under the Senior Revolving Facility, and cash raised in the Business Combination will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months beyond the issuance date of this Report. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our sales volume, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and market adoption of our new and enhanced products and features. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. From time to time, we may seek to raise additional funds through equity and debt. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired and on reasonable terms, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our operating activities used $28.8 million in cash resulting primarily from our net loss of $23.4 million and $5.4 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Changes in our operating assets and

41


 

liabilities primarily resulted from a $17.0 million increase in deferred revenue, a $5.4 million increase in accounts payable and a $3.8 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets. These changes were partially offset by a $15.8 million increase in accounts receivable, a $9.2 million increase in inventory, and a $5.7 million increase in deferred cost of revenue. Changes in non-cash expenses consisted primarily of a deferred tax benefit of $4.8 million resulting from a change in valuation allowance due to the SightPlan acquisition, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation of $3.5 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our operating activities used $7.9 million in cash resulting primarily from our net loss of $9.3 million, which was partially offset by $0.9 million of non-cash expenses consisting primarily of $0.2 million of non-cash compensation expense related to the Zenith acquisition, provision for warranty expenses of $0.2 million, and stock-based compensation of $0.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, $0.5 million was provided from changes in our operating assets and liabilities resulting primarily from an increase of $10.7 million in deferred revenue. This was partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in accounts receivable, a $2.8 million increase in deferred cost of revenue, a $2.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $2.1 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used $117.8 million of cash for investing activities, resulting primarily due to $117.5 million used for the SightPlan acquisition, net of cash acquired.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we used $0.1 million of cash for investing activities, primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our financing activities provided $0.5 million of cash consisting primarily of payments received for ESPP purchases.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our financing activities provided $34.4 million of cash consisting primarily of convertible preferred stock issued of $34.8 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can significantly impact the amounts we report as assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and the related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance as these policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue primarily from sales of systems that consist of hardware devices, professional installation services and hosted services to assist property owners and property managers with visibility and control over assets, while providing all-in-one home control offerings for residents. Revenue is recognized when control of these products and services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products and services.

Payments we receive by credit card, check, or automated clearing house payments, and payment terms are determined by individual contracts and range from due upon receipt to net 30 days. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenue. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are reported as deferred revenue.

We apply the practical expedient that allows for inclusion of the future auto-renewals in the initial measurement of the transaction price. We only apply these steps when it is probable that we will collect the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to a customer.

Accounting for contracts recognized over time involves the use of various estimates of total contract revenue and costs. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that estimates of costs to complete a performance obligation may be revised in the future as we observe the economic performance of our contracts. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revision to our estimates of revenue and costs and are recognized in the period in which the revision is identified.

42


 

We may enter into contracts that contain multiple distinct performance obligations including hardware and hosted services. The hardware performance obligation includes the delivery of hardware, and the hosted services performance obligation allows the customer use of our proprietary software during the contracted-use term. The subscription for the software and the hub device combines as one performance obligation, and there is no support or ongoing subscription for other device hardware. We partner with several manufacturers to offer a range of compatible hardware options for its customers. We maintain control of the hardware purchased from manufacturers prior to it being transferred to the customer, and accordingly, SmartRent is considered the principal in these arrangements.

For each performance obligation identified, we estimate the standalone selling price, which represents the price at which we would sell the good or service separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price, considering available information such as market conditions, historical pricing data, and internal pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. We then allocate the transaction price among those obligations based on the estimation of the standalone selling price.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is computed under the first-in, first-out method. We adjust the inventory balance based on anticipated obsolescence, usage, and historical write-offs. Significant judgment is used in establishing our forecasts of future demand and obsolete material exposures. We consider marketability and product life cycle stage, product development plans, demand forecasts, historical revenue, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions in establishing our estimates. If the actual product demand is significantly lower than forecast, which may be caused by factors within and outside of our control, or if there were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and our customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory adjustment. A change in our estimates could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation relates to stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to our employees and directors. Stock-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value. We estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is based on the grant date fair value of the stock price. The fair value of these awards is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the awards are expected to vest. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur by reversing previously recognized compensation expense.

The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include the per share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected annual dividend yield, the expected stock price volatility over the expected term and forfeitures, which are recognized as they occur. For all stock options granted, we calculated the expected term using the simplified method for “plain vanilla” stock option awards.

The grant date fair value is also utilized with respect to RSUs with performance and service conditions to vest. For RSUs with a performance condition, based on a liquidity event, as well as a service condition to vest, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance condition has been satisfied. Subsequent to the liquidity event, compensation expense is recognized to the extent the requisite service period has been completed and compensation expense thereafter is recognized on an accelerated attribution method. Under the accelerated attribution method, compensation expense is recognized over the remaining requisite service period for each service condition tranche as though each tranche is, in substance, a separate award. In August 2021, the Company completed the merger with FWAA, which met the liquidity event vesting condition and triggered the recognition of compensation expense for RSUs for which the time-based vesting condition had been satisfied or partially satisfied.

SmartRent Common Stock Valuations

Prior to the Business Combination, in the absence of a public trading market, the fair value of our common stock was determined by our board of directors, with input from management, taking into account our most recent valuation from an independent third-party valuation specialist. Our board of directors intend that all stock options granted have an exercise price per share not less than the per share fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The valuations of our common stock were determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The assumptions we used in the valuation models were based on future expectations combined with management judgment, and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock as of the date of each option grant, including the following factors:

relevant precedent transactions involving our capital stock;
the liquidation preferences, rights, preferences, and privileges of our redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to the common stock;

43


 

our actual operating and financial performance;
current business conditions and projections;
our stage of development;
the likelihood and timing of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying the stock options, such as an initial public offering, given prevailing market conditions;
any adjustment necessary to recognize a lack of marketability of the common stock underlying the granted options;
recent secondary stock sales and tender offers;
the market performance of comparable publicly-traded companies; and;
the U.S. and global capital market conditions.

In valuing our common stock at various dates, our board of directors determined the equity value of our business using the market approach. The market approach estimates value considering an analysis of guideline public companies. The guideline public company method estimates value by applying a representative revenue multiple from a peer group of companies in similar lines of business to our forecasted revenue. To determine our peer group of companies, we considered publicly traded companies based on consideration of business descriptions, operations and geographic presence, financial size and performance, and management recommendations regarding most similar companies. This approach involves the identification of relevant transactions and determining relevant multiples to apply to our revenue.

Application of this approach involves the use of estimates, judgment, and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses, and future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies, and the probability of possible future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between those assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of our common stock.

The estimates were no longer necessary to determine the fair value of new awards once the underlying shares began trading in August 2021.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) exempts “emerging growth companies” as defined in Section 2(A) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. We are an “emerging growth company” and have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We will use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public business entities and non-public business entities until the earlier of the date we (a) are no longer an emerging growth company or (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. The extended transition period exemptions afforded by our emerging growth company status may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of this exemption because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (a) the last day of our first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (b) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (c) the last date of our fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non- convertible debt securities during the previous three years. We expect that we will cease to be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial condition due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect, to date, on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of approximately $286.4 million, which consisted primarily of institutional money market funds, which carries a degree of interest rate risk. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations due to the short-term nature of our investment portfolio.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Substantially all of our revenue is generated in U.S. dollars. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies of the jurisdictions in which we conduct our operations, which are primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent in Croatia and the United Kingdom. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have a material impact on our historical consolidated financial statements. To date, we have not engaged in any hedging strategies. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to manage our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021.

 

Management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for the period ended December 31, 2020 related to: (a) accounting for non-routine transactions; (b) the lack of consistent review of journal entries prior to their posting to the general ledger; and (c) the need to provide formal segregation controls over our information technology. These material weaknesses were due to us being a private company with limited resources and not having the necessary business processes, controls, and technical expertise to oversee our business processes and controls.

 

Based on the remediation efforts described below, weakness (a) as noted above, has been fully remediated as of December 31, 2021, and while substantial progress has been made related to weaknesses (b) and (c), further actions and testing are necessary before we can conclude full remediation. We believe we are on schedule to remediate material weaknesses (b) and (c) during the year ended December 31, 2022. Remediation efforts to date include the following:

Adding experienced technical accounting personnel, and continuing to engage with external technical accounting consultants, to facilitate timely and accurate accounting for non-routine transactions. These procedures remediated item (a) above;
Expanding the team of experienced accounting personnel to allow for appropriate review of journal entries and general segregation of duties;
Implementing new software tools to facilitate systematic processing and effective review of journal entries prior to entering in the general ledger; and,
Partnering with external consultants specializing in public company control compliance, to assess and implement controls over financial and information technology processes.

 

Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective and that material weaknesses exist, we believe we have employed supplementary procedures to ensure the financial statements contained in

45


 

this report fairly present in all material respects, our financial position for the periods ending March 31,2022 and December 31, 2021, and results of operations and cash flows for the periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Part II. Other Information

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe these actions are a normal incident of the nature and kind of business in which we are engaged. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, we do not believe that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

 

Item 1A – Risk Factors

 

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties relating to our business following the Business Combination, please see the section in our Annual Report on 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022 titled “Risk Factors.” There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed therein.

If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Buyer Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.7(b), the Representative shall notify Buyer of the expiration of the ninety (90) day period, after which Buyer shall have an additional ten (10) days from the delivery of such notice to provide the Buyer Certificate.

(d)
Following Buyer’s receipt of an Objection Notice (if any), the Representative and Buyer shall attempt to negotiate to resolve such dispute for a period of thirty (30) days. In the event that the Representative and Buyer fail to agree on any of the Representative’s proposed adjustments set forth in the Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period (as may be mutually extended by the Representative and Buyer), the Representative and Buyer agree to engage a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants selected by mutual agreement of Buyer and the Representative (the “Accounting Firm”), and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its final determination of Actual Net Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Debt, Actual Transaction Expenses and the Actual Merger Consideration, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, within the thirty (30) day period immediately following such engagement.

The Accounting Firm shall render a written decision as to each disputed matter set forth in the Objection Notice, including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. The determination of Actual Net Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Debt, Actual Transaction Expenses and Actual Merger Consideration by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on Buyer, the Representative and the Company Securityholders. The Accounting Firm shall address only those items disputed in accordance with this Section 2.8 and the Accounting Firm may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for any such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for any such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and the Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders) so that the

22


 

Representative (on behalf of the Company Securityholders) shall be responsible for that portion of the fees and expenses equal to such fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate dollar value of issues in dispute submitted to the Accounting Firm that are resolved in a manner further from the position submitted to the Accounting Firm by the Representative and closer to the position submitted to the Accounting Firm by Buyer (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm), and the denominator of which is the total dollar value of the issues in dispute so submitted, and Buyer shall be responsible for the remainder of such fees and expenses. Any portion of the Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses payable hereunder by the Representative shall be paid solely from the Escrow Funds.
(e)
Following the final determination of the Actual Merger Consideration, the Merger Consideration shall be recalculated by replacing Estimated Net Working Capital, Estimated Cash, Estimated Debt and Estimated Transaction Expenses with, respectively, Actual Net Working Capital (for purposes of calculating the Upward Net Working Capital Adjustment or the Downward Net Working Capital Adjustment, as the case may be), Actual Cash, Actual Debt and Actual Transaction Expenses, in each case as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.8 (the “Final Merger Consideration”).
(f)

If the Final Merger Consideration is less than the Merger Consideration calculated at Closing (such amount, a “Deficit”), then Buyer and the Representative shall execute and deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent within three (3) Business Days following the date on which the Final Merger Consideration is determined pursuant to this Section 2.8 directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account and pay to (x) Buyer an amount (expressed as a positive number) equal to such Deficit (to the extent there are Escrow Funds, it being understood and agreed that the Escrow Funds in an amount not to exceed the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be the sole source of recovery for any Deficit) and (y) the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions the balance (if any) of the Adjustment Escrow Amount in accordance with the Distribution Procedures.
(g)
All payments under this Section 2.8 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated for all income Tax purposes as adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

The Company Securityholders will be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Representative in accordance with the terms hereof, and Buyer and its Affiliates will be entitled to rely on any action or decision of the Representative. At any time, the Company Securityholders representing a majority of the Pro Rata Portion can appoint a new Representative by written consent by sending notice and a copy of the duly executed written consent appointing such new Representative to Buyer and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent. Such appointment will be effective upon the later of the date indicated in the consent or the date such consent is received by Buyer and, if applicable, the Escrow Agent.
(b)
The Parties acknowledge that the Representative’s obligations hereunder are solely as a representative of the Company Securityholder and that all payment obligations of the Company Securityholders are the obligations of the Company Securityholders (and not the Representative), and that the Representative shall have no responsibility for any expenses incurred by it in such capacity. Without limiting the foregoing, each Company Securityholder agrees to reimburse the Representative for such Company Securityholder’s Pro Rata Portion of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in the performance of his, her or its duties hereunder; provided, that the Representative shall first utilize the Representative Amount (or, if applicable, Escrow Funds).
(c)
The Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Representative in connection with the Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement

52


 

and the Escrow Agreement, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Representative’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company Securityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, penalty, fine, forfeiture, action, fee, cost and expense (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Company Securityholder, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Representative from the Escrow Funds at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Securityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the Escrow Funds, this does not relieve the Company Securityholder from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.
(d)
In the event that Joseph Westlake is no longer able to perform the duties of the Representative as set forth herein due to his death, incapacity or disability, each Company Securityholder shall, without any further action on the part of any such Company Securityholder, be deemed (by virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the Merger) to have consented and shall agree in connection with the execution and delivery of the Letter of Transmittal at the Closing to the appointment of Terry Danner as the Representative, with the rights, obligations and responsibilities set forth herein.
6.10
Release. Effective as of the Closing, each Company Securityholder (each a “Releasor”), on behalf of itself and its respective officers, directors, equityholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company (and the Surviving Corporation), and each of their respective past, present and future officers, managers, directors, equityholders, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, counsel and agents (each, a “Releasee”) of, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever (“Claims”), which such Releasor or its successors or assigns ever had, now has or may have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising prior to and through the Closing (the “Released Claims”); provided, that Released Claims shall not include (a) Claims with respect to any right a Releasor may have in such Releasor’s capacity as an employee of the Company Group under any Plan or Contract disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule, (b) any right to indemnification provided for by any member of the Company Group’s organizational documents or any indemnification agreement in effect as of the date hereof, (c) any Claims that cannot be waived by law, including the right to file a charge of discrimination with, or participate in an investigation conducted by, an administrative agency, and (d) such Releasor’s express rights under this Agreement.
6.11
Certain Acknowledgments. Each of Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledges (on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates) that it has conducted to an independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company Group in making its determination to proceed with the Transactions, and Buyer and Merger Sub have relied on (a) the results of their own independent investigation and (b) the representations and warranties of the Company expressly and specifically set forth in Article III, as qualified by the Company Disclosure Schedule. In connection with Buyer’s and Merger Sub’s investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, each of Buyer and Merger Sub has received or may receive from the Company and its Subsidiaries certain projections, forward looking statements, other forecasts, including projected statements of operating

53


 

revenues and income from operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each of Buyer and Merger Sub hereby acknowledges that none of the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Company Securityholders, nor any member, partner, officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, is making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts (including, without limitation, the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts), and each of Buyer and Merger Sub is not relying on, such estimates, projections or forecasts (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections or forecasts).
6.12
Repaid Debt. With respect to the Debt set forth on Section 6.12 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Repaid Debt”), in the event the Company does not pay or cause to be paid in full the Debt amounts represented thereby prior to the Closing, then the Company shall obtain payoff letters from the applicable lender in respect of the Repaid Debt (the “Payoff Letters”), which Payoff Letters shall include: (a) the balance required to pay off all obligations arising in connection with such Repaid Debt in whole as of the Closing (including outstanding principal, any accrued and unpaid interest, any payoff or other fees and the per-diem interest amount (such amount through and including the Closing Date, the “Payoff Amounts”)); (b) a statement from each secured creditor to the effect that upon payment of the applicable Payoff Amount, any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) arising from such Repaid Debt and relating to the assets or properties of the Company Group shall immediately be released; and (c) wiring instructions for the payment of the Payoff Amounts.
6.13
Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall pay all transfer, documentary, registration, sales, use and similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Transactions that are not based on net income, together with any related fee, penalties, interest and additions to such Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”). Buyer (at its own expense) shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of any Transfer Taxes. The Representative shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns and, if required by applicable Law, the Company Securityholder and/or the Representative will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any Transfer Taxes, and shall cooperate with the other Parties in reasonably providing any information and documentation requested by the other Party that may be reasonably necessary to obtain such exemptions (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Tax clearance or similar certificate).
6.14
Termination of Company Plans. The Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective no later than the day prior to the Closing Date, any Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code (a “Company 401(k) Plan”). In furtherance of such termination, the Company shall provide to Buyer prior to the Closing Date written evidence of the adoption by the Company’s board of directors of resolutions authorizing the termination of such Company 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Buyer). The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company 401(k) Plan as Buyer may reasonably request.
6.15
280G Waiver and Consent. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) secure from each Person who has a right to any payments and/or benefits or potential right to any payments and/or benefits under any Plan or otherwise that would be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G) a waiver, subject to the approval described in clause (b) below, of such Person’s rights to all of such parachute payments (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) and (b) solicit the approval of the Company Stockholders, to the extent and in the manner required under Code Section 280G(b)(5)(B) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, of any Waived 280G Benefits. Any of the Waived 280G Benefits which fail to be approved by the Company Stockholders as contemplated in this Section 6.15 shall not be made or provided. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence that a vote of the Company Stockholders was solicited in

54


 

accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.15 and that either (i) the requisite number of stockholder votes was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits (the “280G Approval”), or (ii) that the 280G Approval was not obtained, and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits have not been and shall not be made or provided. Prior to distributing any materials to the Company Stockholders or any other Person in connection with its obligations under this Section 6.15, the Company shall provide copies of such materials to Buyer, including parachute payment calculations, for its reasonable review, comment and approval (and Buyer agrees to provide any such comments promptly after its receipt of such materials).
6.16
Release of Retention and Contingent Executive Merger Consideration Escrow Amounts.
(a)
On or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day following the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and the Representative shall deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to (i) the Paying Agent or (ii) the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, the remaining portion of the Escrow Funds (in respect of the Retention Escrow Amount) for further distribution to the employees of the Company Group who are listed on Section 6.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (A) are still employed by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date; or (B) are terminated without Cause (as defined in the applicable employee’s employment documentation) prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Representative may, in the event there is a dispute between the employee and the Surviving Corporation as to whether such employee was rightfully terminated for Cause, direct that the amount payable to such employee still be distributed to such employee. Any amounts that are not payable to such employee because they do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.16(a) or the requirements of their employment documentation shall instead be paid to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions. For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts that are released from the Escrow Funds (in respect of the Retention Escrow Amount) for further distribution to the employees of the Company Group who are listed on Section 6.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall exclude the employer’s portion of any payroll or employment or similar Taxes associated with any payment to the employees and any payment to the employees shall be subject to applicable Tax withholding requirements.

On or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day following the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer and the Representative shall deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to the Paying Agent, the remaining portion of the Escrow Funds (in respect of the Contingent Executive Merger Consideration Escrow Amount) for further distribution to the Company Securityholders who are listed on Section 6.16(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (A) are still employed by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date; or (B) are terminated without Cause (as defined in the applicable employee’s employment documentation) prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date. Any amounts that are not payable to such Company Securityholders because they do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.16(b) or the requirements of their employment documentation shall instead be paid to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions.
(c)
The amounts payable to the Company Securityholders under Sections 6.16(a) and (b), whether payable to the Company Securityholders listed on Section 6.16(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 6.16(b) or to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, are intended for federal Tax purposes to be treated as additional Merger Consideration payable with respect to the cancellation and extinguishment of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Company Common Stock, as applicable, as contemplated under Section 2.5. The parties hereto agree for all Tax reporting purposes to report the amounts payable to such Company Securityholders under Sections 6.16(a) and (b), whether payable to the Company Securityholders listed on Section 6.16(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule pursuant to Section 6.16(b) or to the Company Securityholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, in accordance with such intended Tax treatment and to

55


 

not take any position during the course of any audit or other proceeding inconsistent with such intended Tax treatment unless required by a “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a).

The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” When used herein, “dollar” or “$” means the U.S. dollar. When used herein, the word “or” means the conjunctive “and/or” unless specified otherwise. “Made available,” “provided,” “furnished” and words of similar import means the posting by or on behalf of the Company of materials to that certain ShareFile virtual data room managed by the Company or Broker and made accessible to Buyer or the Buyer Representatives, or the physical delivery by or on behalf of the Company (including delivery by email or other electronic means) of such materials to Buyer or the Buyer Representatives, in each case at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement.
10.3
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is subsequently declared to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all of the remaining conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. In the event of any such declaration of invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, this Agreement, as modified, shall be applied and construed to reflect substantially the intent of the Parties and achieve the same economic and legal effect as originally intended by its terms. In the event that the scope of any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties agree to the reduction of the scope of the provision as the court shall deem reasonably necessary to make the provision enforceable under the circumstances.
10.4
Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, Annexes and the Company Disclosure Schedule and the other Transaction Documents) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior representation, warranties, agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.

No failure or delay on the part of any Party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.

(b)
Any claim, action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution action or any other judicial or administrative proceeding, in Law or equity (each, a “Legal Proceeding”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement and any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith shall be heard and determined by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any federal court within the State of Delaware and any federal appellate court therefrom) (together, the “Delaware Courts”).

Only the Company Parties shall be considered in connection with the Transactions clients of MMM in the Acquisition Engagement. If the Representative so desires, MMM shall be permitted, without the need for any future waiver or consent, to represent any of the Representative or the Company Securityholders from and after the Closing in connection with any matter related to the matters contemplated by the Transaction Documents and any other agreements referenced herein or therein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto and may in connection therewith represent the agents or Affiliates of the Representative or, the Company Securityholders, in any of the foregoing cases including in any dispute, litigation or other adversary proceeding against, with or involving the Surviving Corporation or any of their agents or Affiliates (in such capacity). To the extent that communications between a Company Party, on the one hand, and MMM, on the other hand, relate to the Acquisition Engagement and such communications are protected by the attorney-client privilege as between MMM and the Company Parties, including the Company Group prior to the Effective Time and all attorney work product prepared in connection with the Acquisition Engagement (such communications, collectively, the “Attorney-Client Communications”), such Attorney-Client Communications shall be deemed to belong solely to the Representative, for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders, and not Buyer, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries. Buyer acknowledges and agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, upon and after the Closing: (a) the Representative, for and on behalf of the Company Securityholders, and MMM shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege and work product privilege with respect to the Acquisition Engagement, and none of Buyer, Merger Sub nor any of its or their Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall be a holder thereof; and (b) MMM shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any Attorney-Client Communications to Buyer, Merger Sub or any of its or their Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, by reason of any attorney-client relationship between MMM and the Company Group, the Representative or otherwise. Buyer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agree to take, and to cause their respective Affiliates to take, all steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 10.11. MMM and its partners and employees are third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.14.
