1. Business Overview and Basis of Presentation
Description of business
Sonos, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, "Sonos," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") designs, develops, manufactures, and sells audio products and services. The Sonos sound system provides customers with an immersive listening experience created by the design of its speakers, headphones and components, a proprietary software platform, and the ability to stream content from a variety of sources over the customer’s wireless network or over Bluetooth.
The Company’s products are sold through third-party physical retailers, including custom installers of home audio systems, select e-commerce retailers, and its website, sonos.com. The Company’s products are distributed in over 60 countries through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonos Europe B.V. in the Netherlands, Beijing Sonos Technology Co. Ltd. in China, Sonos Japan GK in Japan, and Sonos Australia Pty Ltd. in Australia.
Basis of presentation and preparation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, (the "Annual Report"), filed with the SEC on November 15, 2024.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations, and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 29, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.
The Company operates on a 52- week or 53- week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30 each year. The Company’s fiscal year is divided into four quarters of 13 weeks, each beginning on a Sunday and containing two 4-week periods followed by a 5-week period. An additional week is included in the fourth fiscal quarter approximately every five years to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. This last occurred in the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended October 3, 2020, and will reoccur in the fiscal year ending October 3, 2026. The six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, spanned 26 weeks each. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "fiscal 2025" refers to the fiscal year ending September 27, 2025 and "fiscal 2024" refers to the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments compared to historical experience and expected trends.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies, recently adopted accounting pronouncements, or recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption from those disclosed in the Annual Report, except as noted below.
Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires disclosure of disaggregated information about significant expenses within relevant income statement captions, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. Also required is a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated.
SONOS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(unaudited)
In January 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarifies that the amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments may be applied retrospectively or prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the pronouncement to determine the impact it may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
3. Financial Instruments
The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to the short period of time to maturity or repayment. The Company utilizes the following fair value hierarchy to establish priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value:
•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Marketable securities
As of March 29, 2025, the Company held no securities with original maturities exceeding one year. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
There were no realized gains or losses on sales of marketable securities during the three and six months ended March 29, 2025. For securities in a loss position, the Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be required to sell before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The Company evaluated whether the decline in fair value resulted from credit losses or other factors and concluded these amounts were related to temporary fluctuations in value of the securities and were due primarily to changes in interest rates and market conditions of the underlying securities. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses was deemed unnecessary for these securities as of March 29, 2025.
Accrued interest receivable related to our marketable securities was immaterial as of March 29, 2025. No accrued interest receivables were written off during the three and six months ended March 29, 2025.

6. Debt
On October 13, 2021, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and Bank of America N.A., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., and Goldman Sachs Bank USA as the other lenders party thereto (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100.0 million and (ii) an uncommitted incremental facility subject to certain conditions. Proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. In June 2023, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement, replacing prior references to LIBOR with references to SOFR as a result of the discontinuation of LIBOR. The facility may be drawn as an Alternative Base Rate Loan (at 1.00% plus an applicable margin) or Term Benchmark Loan (at the Term SOFR Rate, plus the applicable Term SOFR Adjustment ranging from 0.11% to 0.43%, plus an applicable margin (in total, "Adjusted Term SOFR")).
SONOS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(unaudited)
The Company must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.200% to 0.275% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitment under the agreement and (ii) a per annum fee equal to the applicable margin over Adjusted Term SOFR multiplied by the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit. As of March 29, 2025, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings and had $2.4 million in undrawn letters of credit that reduce the availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants, a financial covenant that is tested quarterly and requires the Company to maintain a certain consolidated leverage ratio, and customary events of default. As of March 29, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments to suppliers
As of March 29, 2025, the Company's open purchase orders to contract manufacturers for finished goods were approximately $98 million, the majority of which are expected to be paid over the next six months. As of March 29, 2025, the Company's expected commitments to suppliers for components were in the range of $180 million to $200 million, the majority of which is expected to be paid and/or utilized by our contract manufacturers in building finished goods within the next two years. The expected commitments are subject to change as a result of fluctuations in the demand forecast, as well as ongoing negotiations with contract manufacturers and suppliers. These commitments are related to components that can be specific to Sonos products and comprised 1) indirect obligations to third-party manufacturers and suppliers, 2) the inventory owned by contract manufacturers procured to manufacture Sonos products, and 3) purchase commitments made by contract manufacturers to their upstream suppliers.
Legal proceedings
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to employee relations, business practices, and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
The Company’s Lawsuits Against Google:
On January 7, 2020, the Company filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") against Alphabet Inc. ("Alphabet") and Google LLC ("Google") and a counterpart lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Google. The complaint and lawsuit each allege infringement by Alphabet and Google of certain Sonos patents related to its smart speakers and related technology. The counterpart lawsuit was stayed pending completion of the ITC investigation and appeal thereof. The ITC concluded its investigation in January 2022, finding all five of the Company’s asserted patents to be valid and infringed by Google, and further finding that one redesign per patent proposed by Google would avoid infringement. The ITC issued a limited exclusion order and a cease-and-desist order with respect to Google’s infringing products. The Company and Google each appealed the ITC’s determination, which was upheld in its entirety by a panel of the appeals court. Google's petition for rehearing by the full appeals court has been denied. The stay in the counterpart lawsuit has been lifted. No trial date has been set.
On September 29, 2020, the Company filed another lawsuit against Google alleging infringement of additional Sonos patents and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief. A jury trial was held in May 2023, which found one Sonos patent to be infringed and another Sonos patent not infringed, and returned an award of $32.5 million based on a royalty rate of $2.30 per infringing unit. After trial, the court held Sonos’ patents unenforceable under the doctrine of prosecution laches and invalid as a result of amendments made during prosecution. The Company is appealing the ruling.
Google’s Lawsuits Against the Company:
On June 11, 2020, Google filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company alleging infringement by the Company of five Google patents and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief.
SONOS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(unaudited)
All five of these patents have since been found invalid or non-infringed by the Court or by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or have been withdrawn from the case by Google. The Court has now entered final judgment for Sonos and against Google. Google has appealed.
On August 8, 2022, Google filed two complaints with the ITC against the Company and two counterpart lawsuits in the Northern District of California against the Company, collectively alleging infringement by the Company of seven Google patents generally related to wireless charging, device setup, and voice control, and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief. The counterpart lawsuits are stayed pending completion of the ITC investigations. In the first ITC investigation, the ITC terminated the investigation as to one Google patent as a result of the expiration of that Google patent and found the other two Google patents invalid as indefinite, thus concluding the first investigation. The second ITC investigation concluded in December 2023 with a final determination of no violation by the Company. Google did not appeal this determination within the deadline but has since petitioned the ITC for acceptance of a petition for review out of time.
Implicit
On March 10, 2017, Implicit, LLC (“Implicit”) filed a patent infringement action in the United States District Court, District of Delaware against the Company. Implicit is asserting that the Company has infringed on certain claims of two patents in this case. The Company denies the allegations. The claims at issue have been held unpatentable by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Implicit has appealed this ruling, which is currently scheduled to be heard by the appeals court by mid-2025. A range of loss, if any, associated with this matter is not probable or reasonably estimable as of March 29, 2025.
The Company is involved in certain other litigation matters not listed above but does not consider these matters to be material either individually or in the aggregate at this time. The Company’s view of the matters not listed may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.
8. Stockholders' Equity
On November 15, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $200.0 million (the "2023 Stock Repurchase Program"). On February 24, 2025, the Board authorized a new common stock repurchase program of up to $150.0 million (the "2025 Stock Repurchase Program") resulting in the expiration of the $11.1 million remaining under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program.
During the six months ended March 29, 2025, the Company repurchased 4,167,203 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $60.0 million and at an average price of $14.39 per share under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program. Aggregate purchase price and average price per share exclude commission and excise tax. The Company's share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act. Any excise tax incurred is recognized as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired in the condensed consolidated statements of equity. The Company has not made any repurchases under the 2025 Stock Repurchase Program.
Treasury stock during the six months ended March 29, 2025, included 1,206,264 shares withheld to satisfy employees' tax withholding requirements in connection with vesting of stock awards. Additionally, during the six months ended March 29, 2025, the Company retired 2,963,919 shares of treasury stock.
9. Stock-based Compensation

10. Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is generally determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR"), adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. The impact of such inclusions could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings or losses versus annual projections. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the AETR, and if the estimated AETR changes, a cumulative adjustment is made in that quarter.
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $11.0 million and a benefit from income taxes of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, related to U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.6 million and $11.2 million for the six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, related to U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes.
For the three and six months ended March 29, 2025, the Company utilized the AETR method to calculate separate U.S. and foreign income tax provisions. Separate U.S. and foreign AETRs were calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP since Sonos, Inc. is forecasted to a full-year loss with no corresponding deferred tax benefit while all non-U.S. entities are forecasted to profitability and, unlike the prior year, small fluctuations in forecasted pre-tax income (loss) are not expected to have a material impact on the estimated U.S. AETR. For the three and six months ended March 30, 2024, the Company calculated its U.S. income tax provision using the discrete method as though the interim period was an annual period since minor deviations in the projected pre-tax net income (loss) in the U.S. could have resulted in a disproportionate and unreliable effective tax rate under the AETR method.
For the three and six months ended March 29, 2025, the Company’s tax provision is comprised of a U.S. tax provision resulting from the application of a negative U.S. AETR to year-to-date U.S. pretax loss and a tax provision for non-U.S. income taxes. For the three and six months ended March 30, 2024, the Company's U.S. income tax provision was adversely impacted by Section 174 as the Company recorded a current U.S. tax expense with no corresponding deferred tax benefit due to the valuation allowance maintained against its U.S. deferred tax assets.
For the six months ended March 29, 2025, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the U.S. continued to be appropriate considering cumulative pre-tax losses in recent years and uncertainty with respect to future taxable income. Release of the valuation allowance in the U.S. would result in a benefit to the income tax provision in the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net earnings. The timing and amount of the potential valuation allowance release are subject to significant management judgment, as well as prospective earnings in the U.S.
11. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net income (loss) per share adjusts the basic net income (loss) per share and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the potentially dilutive impact of stock awards, using the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

12. Retirement Plans
The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan (the "401(k) Plan") for the Company’s U.S.-based employees, as well as various defined contribution plans for its international employees. Eligible U.S. employees may make tax-deferred contributions under the 401(k) plan but are limited to the maximum annual dollar amount allowable under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company matches contributions towards the 401(k) Plan and international defined contribution plans. The Company's matching contributions totaled $2.0 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively. The Company's matching contributions totaled $4.3 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively.
13. Restructuring and Other Charges
The Company started a cost transformation initiative in the second half of fiscal 2024 with the goal of optimizing investments for sustainable, long-term growth. This included the August 14, 2024 initiation of a restructuring plan (the "2024 restructuring plan") that involved a reduction in force of approximately 6% of its employees and a reduction to its real estate footprint. Building on this effort, the Company announced a subsequent restructuring on February 5, 2025, including a reduction in force involving approximately 12% of its employees (the “2025 restructuring plan”). This cost transformation also involved charges related to rationalization of its product roadmap. Furthermore, in January 2025, Patrick Spence stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and as a member of the Board, resulting in the Company incurring costs related to this transition, which are also included in restructuring and other charges.
The following table summarizes the components of restructuring and other charges:

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 our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.
We operate on a 52- week or 53- week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30 each year. Our fiscal year is divided into four quarters of 13 weeks, each beginning on a Sunday and containing two 4-week periods followed by a 5-week period. An additional week is included in the fourth fiscal quarter approximately every five years to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding future operations and performance, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "expect," "objective," "plan," "potential," "seek," "grow," "target," "if," and similar expressions 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, objectives, restructuring efforts, cost initiatives, timing of certain tax impacts and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the section titled "Risk Factors" set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report and in our other SEC filings. 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 impact 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Overview
Sonos is one of the world's leading sound experience brands.
We pioneered multi-room, wireless audio products, debuting the world’s first multi-room wireless sound system in 2005. In October 2024, we introduced Arc Ultra, our new premium soundbar debuting Sound Motion TM, our revolutionary transducer technology, and Sonos Sub 4, the next generation of our iconic subwoofer with a refreshed design and internals. Today, our product lineup includes wireless, portable, and home theater speakers, headphones, components, and accessories to address consumers’ evolving audio needs. We are known for delivering unparalleled sound, thoughtful design aesthetic, simplicity of use, and an open platform. Our platform has attracted a broad range of more than 100 streaming content providers, such as Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and Pandora. These partners find value in our independent platform and access to our millions of desirable and engaged customers. We frequently introduce new services and features across our platform, providing our customers with enhanced functionality, improved sound, and an enriched user experience. In May 2024, we launched an extensive redesign of our Sonos app. We rebuilt the app from the ground up with the purpose of improving the user experience through a modern user interface and to provide a modular developer platform allowing us to drive more innovation faster in the future. We are committed to continuous technological innovation as reflected in our growing global patent portfolio. We believe our patents comprise the foundational intellectual property for wireless multi-room and other audio technologies.
We generate revenue from the sale of our Sonos speaker products, including wireless speakers, home theater speakers and beginning in June 2024, headphones, from our Sonos system products, including our component products, and from partner products and other revenue, including Sonos and third-party accessories and partnerships.
During the second half of fiscal 2024, we started a cost transformation initiative aimed at optimizing our investments for sustainable, long-term growth and enhance our agility. We've taken steps to streamline, reorganize and flatten our organizational structures, including workforce reductions of approximately 6% in August 2024 (the "2024 restructuring plan") and approximately 12% in February 2025 (the "2025 restructuring plan"). These restructuring efforts are expected to result in approximately $42.0 million in savings during the remainder of fiscal 2025. Furthermore, we've been working to rationalize our product roadmap and we intend to continue to take steps that drive operating efficiency. See Note 13. Restructuring and Other Charges in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Macroeconomic environment
Our business and financial performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions. We face global macroeconomic challenges such as inflation, ongoing geopolitical conflicts, uncertainty in the markets, volatility in exchange rates, low or negative growth in certain regions, declining consumer sentiment of international customers towards US-based companies as a result of US trade policy, and uncertainty in consumer demand. In addition, our business may be adversely impacted by the potential expansion of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., as well as any retaliatory tariffs or policies enacted in other countries.
Global economic and political conditions and uncertainties, including global trade tensions, have caused and may continue to cause volatility in demand for our products as well as cost of materials and logistics, and as a result may impact our results of operations. We are continuing to evaluate and implement mitigating actions, including taking measures to manage our expenses and contain costs, leveraging our supply chain flexibility and evaluating potential pricing and promotion strategies.
For additional information, see Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors."
Key Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making operational and strategic decisions. Our key metrics are total revenue, products sold, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated under U.S. GAAP for Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). The most directly comparable financial measure calculated under U.S. GAAP for Adjusted EBITDA margin is net income (loss) margin.

(1)Net income (loss) margin is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by revenue.
(2)For additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (which are non-GAAP financial measures), including reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, see the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
Products Sold
Products sold represents the number of products that are sold during a period, net of returns and includes the sale of products in the Sonos speakers and Sonos system products categories, as well as module units sold through our partnerships from our Partner products and other revenue category. Growth rates between products sold and revenue are not perfectly correlated because our revenue is affected by other variables, such as the mix of products sold during the period, promotional discount activity, the introduction of new products that may have higher or lower than average selling prices, changes to selling prices, as well as the impact of recognition of previously deferred revenue.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and constant currency which are non-GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that we exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest income, interest expense, other income (expense), income taxes, legal and transaction related costs, restructuring and other costs, and other items that we do not consider representative of underlying operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
We present percentage sales growth in constant currency to show performance unaffected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency growth percentages by translating our current period financial results using the prior period average currency exchange rates and comparing these amounts to our prior period reported results.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Furthermore, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. These metrics may also have certain limitations as they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, including stock-based compensation, which has been and will continue to be, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We generate substantially all of our revenue from the sale of Sonos speakers and Sonos system products. We also generate a portion of revenue from Partner products and other revenue sources, including accessories such as speaker stands and wall mounts, and architectural speakers from our Sonance partnership.
Total revenue increased $7.1 million, or 2.8%, for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024, primarily due to the introduction of Arc Ultra in October 2024 and Ace in June 2024, partially offset by softer demand due to challenging market conditions and the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
Sonos speakers revenue represented 74.9% of total revenue for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and increased 3.9% compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024, primarily driven by the introduction of Arc Ultra and Ace, partially offset by expected declines in sales of Arc. Sonos system products represented 19.5% of total revenue for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and increased 2.6% compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024. Partner products and other revenue represented 5.7% of total revenue for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and decreased 8.9% compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024.
The volume of products sold increased 2.8% for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024, primarily driven by the introduction of Arc Ultra and Ace, partially offset by expected declines in sales of Arc.
Total revenue decreased $54.9 million, or 6.3%, for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024, primarily due to softer demand due to market conditions and challenges resulting from our 2024 app rollout, partially offset by the introduction of Arc Ultra in October 2024 and Ace in June 2024.
Sonos speakers revenue represented 81.6% of total revenue for the six months ended March 29, 2025 and decreased 4.1% compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024, primarily driven by expected declines in sales of Arc and Sonos One, as well as Move. These declines were partially offset by the introduction of Arc Ultra and Ace, as well as Era 100. Sonos system products represented 13.7% of total revenue for the six months ended March 29, 2025 and decreased 17.2% compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024, due to lower sales to our installed solutions channel. Partner products and other revenue represented 4.7% of total revenue for the six months ended March 29, 2025 and decreased 8.0% compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024.
The volume of products sold decreased 8.3% for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024, primarily driven by expected declines in units sold of Sonos One and Arc, as well as Roam and Move. These declines were partially offset by the introduction of Arc Ultra and Ace, as well as increases in sales of Era 100.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists of product costs, including costs of our contract manufacturers for production, components, shipping and handling, tariffs, duty costs, warranty replacement costs, packaging, fulfillment costs, manufacturing and tooling equipment depreciation, warehousing costs, hosting costs, and excess and obsolete inventory write-downs. It also includes licensing costs, such as royalties to third parties, and attributable amortization of acquired developed technology. In addition, we allocate certain costs related to management and facilities, personnel-related expenses, and supply chain logistic costs. Personnel-related expenses consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses.
Cost of revenue increased $5.5 million, or 3.9%, for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024, primarily due to shift into higher cost products, and the impact of reorganization efforts, partially offset by a decrease in inventory-related write-downs and a decrease in product and material costs.
Cost of revenue decreased $15.2 million, or 3.2%, for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in products sold as well as a decrease in product and material costs, partially offset by a shift into higher cost products, the impact of reorganization efforts, and increased depreciation and amortization primarily related to the completion of our Mayht in-process research and development project and related reclassification into finite-lived intangible assets.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin has fluctuated and may, in the future, fluctuate from period to period based on a number of factors, including the mix of products we sell, the mix of channels through which we sell our products, fluctuations of our product and material cost savings, fluctuations in our product and material and logistics markets, product pricing strategies and promotional activity, the foreign currency in which our products are sold, and tariffs and duty costs implemented by governmental authorities.
Gross margin decreased 60 basis points for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024, primarily due to the impact of reorganization efforts, and the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by decreased inventory-related write-downs and decreased product and material costs.
Gross margin decreased 180 basis points for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024, primarily due to unfavorable channel mix, the impact of reorganization efforts, and increased depreciation and amortization primarily related to the completion of our Mayht in-process research and development project and related reclassification into finite-lived intangible assets, partially offset by decreased product and material costs and favorable product mix.

(1)Restructuring and other charges for the three and six months ended March 29, 2025, primarily reflect costs associated with our cost transformation initiative including the 2025 restructuring plan and rationalization of our product roadmap, as well as non-recurring CEO transition costs related to modifications to equity awards. See Note 13. Restructuring and Other Charges in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, consulting and contractor expenses, tooling, test equipment, prototype materials, and related overhead costs. To date, software development costs have been expensed as incurred because the period between achieving technological feasibility and the release of the software has been short and development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant.
Research and development expenses excluding restructuring and other costs decreased $15.7 million, or 19.5%, for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel-related costs due to lower headcount and lower product development spend.
Research and development expenses excluding restructuring and other costs decreased $13.7 million, or 8.6%, for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel-related costs due to lower headcount and lower product development spend, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense related to retention of key personnel.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and marketing activity for our products and personnel-related expenses, depreciation for product displays, as well as related maintenance and repair expenses, customer experience expenses, revenue related sales fees from our direct-to-consumer business, and related overhead costs.
Sales and marketing expenses excluding restructuring and other costs decreased $0.4 million, or 0.7%, for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel-related costs due to lower headcount, partially offset by increased depreciation costs associated with our product displays.
Sales and marketing expenses excluding restructuring and other costs increased $2.4 million, or 1.6%, for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024. This was primarily driven by app recovery spend and depreciation costs associated with our product displays, partially offset by decreased advertising and marketing activity, lower personnel-related costs due to lower headcount, and lower revenue-related sales fees.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of administrative personnel-related expenses for our finance, legal, human resources and similar personnel, as well as the costs of professional services, information technology, litigation, patents, related overhead, and other administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses excluding restructuring and other costs decreased $11.8 million, or 29.0%, for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel-related costs due to lower headcount and a decrease in legal fees mainly related to our IP litigation.
General and administrative expenses excluding restructuring and other costs decreased $25.7 million, or 31.9%, for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel-related costs due to lower headcount and a decrease in legal fees mainly related to our IP litigation.

Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances. Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our debt financing arrangements and amortization of debt issuance costs. Other income, net consists primarily of our foreign currency exchange gains and losses relating to transactions and remeasurement of asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We expect our foreign currency gains and losses to continue to fluctuate in the future due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest income for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024, decreased due to lower cash balances. Interest expense for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024, decreased primarily due to lower interest expense on a foreign income tax obligation. Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2024, increased from other expenses of $3.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 to other income of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025 due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations.
Interest income for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024, decreased due to lower cash balances. Other income (expense), net for the six months ended March 29, 2025 compared to the six months ended March 30, 2024, decreased from other income of $7.0 million for the six months ended March 30, 2024 to other expense of $5.8 million for the six months ended March 29, 2025 due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

We recognized a tax provision of $11.0 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024. This increase was driven by a change in the prescribed U.S. GAAP method to calculate the interim income tax provision for the period ending March 29, 2025 versus the discrete method used to calculate the income tax benefit for the period ending March 30, 2024.
For the three months ended March 29, 2025, we utilized the AETR method to calculate separate U.S. and foreign income tax provisions. Separate U.S. and non-U.S. AETRs were calculated in accordance with interim U.S. GAAP reporting requirements since, unlike the prior year, small fluctuations in forecasted pre-tax income (loss) are not expected to have a material impact on the estimated U.S. AETR. For the three months ended March 30, 2024, we calculated our U.S. income tax provision using the discrete method as though the interim period was an annual period, since minor deviations in the projected pre-tax loss in the U.S. could have resulted in a disproportionate and unreliable effective tax rate under the AETR method.
We recognized tax provisions of $4.6 million and $11.2 million for the six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively. This decrease was driven by a change in the prescribed U.S. GAAP method to calculate the interim income tax benefit for the period ending March 29, 2025 versus the method used to calculate the income tax provision for the period ending March 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our operations are financed primarily through cash flows from operating activities. As of March 29, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents of $173.2 million, including $72.9 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, marketable securities of $50.3 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and borrowing capacity under the credit facility under our Revolving Credit Agreement. In accordance with our policy, the undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries remain indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States as of March 29, 2025, as they are required to fund needs outside of the United States. In the event funds from foreign operations are needed to fund operations in the United States and if U.S. tax has not already been previously provided, we may be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, cash flows from operations and committed credit lines will be sufficient to meet our long-term working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. We hold our cash with a diverse group of major financial institutions and have processes and safeguards in place to manage our cash balances and mitigate the risk of loss. In October 2021, we entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement, which allows us to borrow up to $100 million, with a maturity date of October 2026. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, our planned sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, our potential merger and acquisition activity, market acceptance of our products, and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in increased dilution to our stockholders.
If we were to incur additional debt financing, it would result in increased debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could require additional operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.
Debt Obligations
On October 13, 2021, we entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100 million and (ii) an uncommitted incremental facility subject to certain conditions. Proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The facility may be drawn as an Alternative Base Rate Loan (at 1.00% plus an applicable margin) or Term Benchmark Loan (SOFR plus an applicable margin). We must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.200% to 0.275% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitment under the agreement and (ii) a per annum fee equal to the applicable margin over SOFR multiplied by the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit. As of March 29, 2025, we did not have any outstanding borrowings and had $2.4 million in undrawn letters of credit that reduce the availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants, a financial covenant that is tested quarterly and requires us to maintain a certain consolidated leverage ratio, and customary events of default. As of March 29, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $96.5 million for the six months ended March 29, 2025, consisted of net loss of $19.9 million, non-cash adjustments of $85.4 million, and a favorable impact of net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $31.0 million. Non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, as well as non-cash restructuring and other charges. The net increase in cash from the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in inventories of $92.6 million due to seasonality and as the result of measures taken to more efficiently manage inventory, an increase in accrued compensation of $10.5 million, an increase in other liabilities of $5.8 million primarily for provisions for our returns, and a decrease in accounts receivable of $4.7 million. The net increase in cash from the change in operating assets and liabilities was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $83.6 million driven by payments for inventory purchases and payment of a non-recurring non-U.S. income tax due on the intercompany transfer of intellectual property to the U.S.
Cash flows from investing activities
Cash used in investing activities of $17.2 million for the six months ended March 29, 2025, primarily consisted of the purchases of marketable securities of $25.9 million and purchases of property and equipment of $18.7 million mainly related to point-of-sale product displays and manufacturing-related tooling and test equipment to support the launch of new products, partially offset by cash provided by maturities of marketable securities of $27.4 million.
Cash flows from financing activities
Cash used in financing activities of $74.2 million for the six months ended March 29, 2025, primarily consisted of payments for repurchases of common stock of $60.6 million and payments for repurchases of common stock related to shares withheld for tax in connection with vesting of stock awards of $16.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.7 million.
Commitments and Contingencies
See Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Other than items discussed in Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially, except as follows:
Foreign Currency Risk
Our inventory purchases are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Our international sales are primarily denominated in foreign currencies and any movement in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which we conduct sales in foreign countries could have an impact on our revenue, principally for sales denominated in the euro and the British pound. A portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the United States and are denominated in foreign currencies, which are also subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In certain countries where we may invoice customers in the local currency our revenues benefit from a weaker dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger dollar. The opposite impact occurs in countries where we record expenses in local currencies. In those cases, our costs and expenses benefit from a stronger dollar and are adversely affected by a weaker dollar.
We have not entered into any material foreign exchange contracts or derivatives to hedge any foreign currency exposures. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. Our continued international expansion increases our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations and, as a result, such fluctuations could have a significant impact on our future results of operations.
For the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, we recognized a gain from foreign currency exchange of $0.2 million and loss of $3.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, we recognized a loss from foreign currency exchange of $5.8 million and gain of $6.8 million, respectively. Based on transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as of March 29, 2025, a hypothetical adverse change of 10% would have resulted in an adverse impact on loss before provision for income taxes of approximately $1.6 million and $10.9 million for the three and six months ended March 29, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required under Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") as of March 29, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in management's evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15(f) during the quarter ended March 29, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Other than the matters described in Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not a party to any legal proceedings that in the opinion of our management, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2024, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and operating results, and affect the trading price of our common stock. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report.
Changes in international trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Starting in 2018, the U.S. government imposed significant tariffs on China for U.S.-bound goods in our product categories. We received exemptions to almost all of those tariffs until such time as we were able to diversify our supply chain, primarily to Vietnam and Malaysia. As a result, our reliance on China for our U.S.-bound products is expected to be very modest.
There is significant uncertainty about the future of trade relationships around the world, including potential changes to trade laws and regulations, trade policies, and tariffs. For example, the U.S. government has recently instituted or proposed changes to international trade policy and agreements including the imposition of tariffs on China and countries other than China, in many cases significantly and including countries in Southeast Asia and EMEA. Our business may be impacted by the potential expansion of tariffs on U.S.-bound goods imported from other countries including, but not limited to, Vietnam and Malaysia. In addition, many countries have considered or instituted retaliatory policies, including reciprocal tariffs, in response to these proposed U.S. tariffs. To the extent that tariffs imposed by the United States or by other countries increase the price of, or limit the amount or availability of, our products or components or materials used in our products, or increase logistics costs or cause delays, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. We may be required to raise our prices, which may result in the loss of customers, or we may choose to pay for these tariffs or additional costs without raising prices, either of which may negatively impact our business and results of operation. In addition, a trade war, and uncertainty regarding international trade policies, could have a significant adverse effect on the domestic and world economies and on consumer confidence, sentiment and spending with a corresponding adverse effect on our business and results of operations. It remains unclear what actions the U.S. or foreign governments will take with respect to tariffs, international trade agreements and policies on a short-term or long-term basis. The U.S. and other countries may announce new or changed restrictions with little advance notice. While we are engaged in ongoing efforts to reduce the effect of tariffs, these efforts may take time and be costly to implement and ultimately ineffective. In the event of an expansion of trade restrictions, the imposition of future tariffs on the import of our products or other governmental actions related to tariffs or trade agreements, our business and results of operations may be adversely impacted.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On November 15, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $200.0 million (the "2023 Stock Repurchase Program"). On February 24, 2025, the Board authorized a new common stock repurchase program of up to $150.0 million (the "2025 Stock Repurchase Program") resulting in the expiration of the $11.1 million remaining under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans and Non-Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
On January 13, 2025, Shamayne Braman, the Company's Chief People Officer, terminated her trading plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c), originally adopted on March 2, 2024 for the sale of up to 27,838 shares of the Company's common stock subject to restricted stock units granted under our equity incentive plan, as decreased by the number of shares withheld by the Company in connection with the vesting of such restricted stock units to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements. The plan was originally scheduled to terminate on the earlier of the date all shares under the plan were sold or March 4, 2025.
On February 13, 2025, Nick Millington, the Company's Chief Innovation Officer, adopted a trading plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c). The plan provides that Mr. Millington may sell up to an aggregate of 19,948 shares of the Company's common stock subject to options granted under our equity incentive plan. The plan terminates on the earlier of the date all shares under the plan are sold or February 12, 2026.

EXHIBIT A
SONOS, INC.
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
ARTICLE I: NAME
The name of this corporation is Sonos, Inc. (the “Corporation”).
ARTICLE II: AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS
The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801. The name of the registered agent of the Corporation at that address is The Corporation Trust Company.
ARTICLE III: PURPOSE
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”).
ARTICLE IV: AUTHORIZED STOCK
1.Total Authorized. The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation has authority to issue is 510,000,000 shares, consisting of two classes: 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).
2.Designation of Additional Series.
2.1 The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the law of the State of Delaware, by resolution or resolutions adopted from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and, by filing a certificate of designation pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designation, vesting, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) of the shares of each such series and to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Certificate of Designation designating a series of Preferred Stock.
2.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Certificate of Designation designating any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, (i) any new series of Preferred Stock may be designated, fixed and determined as provided herein by the Board without approval of the holders of Common Stock or the holders of Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, and (ii) any such new series may have powers, preferences and rights, including, without limitation, voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation rights, redemption rights and conversion rights, senior to, junior to or pari passu with the rights of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock or any future class or series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock.
2.3 Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock).
ARTICLE V: AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS
The Board shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”). Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws by the Board shall require the approval of a majority of the Whole Board. For purposes of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock issued pursuant to any Certificate of Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws; provided, further, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such adoption, amendment or repeal of any provisions of the Bylaws, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws.
ARTICLE VI: MATTERS RELATING TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
1. Director Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, except as otherwise provided by law. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.
2. Number of Directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the total number of directors constituting the Whole Board shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board.
3. Classified Board. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the directors shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively (the “Classified Board”). The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to such classes of the Classified Board, which assignments shall become effective at the same time the Classified Board becomes effective. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board, with the number of directors in each class to be divided as nearly equal as reasonably possible. The initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Corporation’s initial public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the offer and sale of Common Stock to the public (the “Initial Public Offering Closing”), the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders following the Initial Public Offering Closing and the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the Initial Public Offering Closing. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the Initial Public Offering Closing, directors elected to succeed those directors of the class whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which the director is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the three classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more than one director more than any other class.
4. Term and Removal. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission permitted by the Bylaws. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, no director may be removed from the Board except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a single class. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which the director is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more than one director more than any other class. To the extent possible, consistent with the foregoing rule, any newly created directorships shall be added to those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the latest dates following such allocation, and any newly eliminated directorships shall be subtracted from those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the earliest dates following such allocation, unless otherwise provided from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. No decrease in the authorized number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
5. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, any vacancy occurring in the Board for any cause, and any newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, shall, unless (a) the Board determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders or (b) as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which the director has been assigned expires or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
6. Vote by Ballot. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.
ARTICLE VII: DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY
1. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, if the General Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director or officer, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, as so amended.
2. Change in Rights. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of such an inconsistent provision.
ARTICLE VIII: MATTERS RELATING TO STOCKHOLDERS
1. No Action by Written Consent of Stockholders. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, no action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation except at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders, and no action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation by written consent.
2. Special Meeting of Stockholders. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, and may not be called by any other person or persons.
3. Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Business Transacted at Special Meetings. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors of the Corporation and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws. Business transacted at special meetings of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
ARTICLE IX: SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent possible consistent with such holding and the remaining provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including without limitation, all portions of any section of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall remain in full force and effect.
ARTICLE X: AMENDMENT OF RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), and subject to Section 1 and 2.1 of Article IV, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with this Article X, Section 2 of Article IV, or Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX or Article XI (the “Specified Provisions”); provided, further, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such amendment or repeal of, or any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions.
ARTICLE XI: CHOICE OF FORUM
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation; (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or other wrongdoing by, any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders; (c) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws; (d) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws; or (e) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article XI.

Without limiting any other provisions and requirements of this Section 1.11, unless otherwise required by law, if (i) any stockholder provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act (for the avoidance of doubt, such notice must be delivered within the time period provided for in Section 1.11.1(b)(iv) to be considered timely) and (ii) such stockholder subsequently either (A) notifies the Corporation that such stockholder no longer intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act or (B) fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, then such stockholder’s nominations shall be deemed null and void and the Corporation shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for such stockholder’s nominees.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein. Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of (a) stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (b) the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

SUCH INDEMNIFICATION SHALL CONTINUE AS TO AN INDEMNITEE WHO HAS CEASED TO BE A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER OF THE CORPORATION AND SHALL INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF SUCH INDEMNITEES’ HEIRS, EXECUTORS AND ADMINISTRATORS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SUBJECT TO SECTION 6.5 OF THESE BYLAWS, THE CORPORATION SHALL INDEMNIFY ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE SEEKING INDEMNITY IN CONNECTION WITH A PROCEEDING (OR PART THEREOF) INITIATED BY SUCH INDEMNITEE ONLY IF SUCH PROCEEDING (OR PART THEREOF) WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD OR SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AUTHORIZED BY AN AGREEMENT APPROVED BY THE BOARD.
Section 6.2: Advance of Expenses. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN A WRITTEN INDEMNIFICATION CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND AN INDEMNITEE, THE CORPORATION SHALL PAY ALL EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) INCURRED BY AN INDEMNITEE IN DEFENDING ANY PROCEEDING IN ADVANCE OF ITS FINAL DISPOSITION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF THE DGCL THEN SO REQUIRES, THE ADVANCEMENT OF SUCH EXPENSES SHALL BE MADE ONLY UPON DELIVERY TO THE CORPORATION OF AN UNDERTAKING, BY OR ON BEHALF OF SUCH INDEMNITEE, TO REPAY SUCH AMOUNTS IF IT SHALL ULTIMATELY BE DETERMINED THAT SUCH INDEMNITEE IS NOT ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS ARTICLE VI OR OTHERWISE.
Section 6.3: Non-Exclusivity of Rights. THE RIGHTS CONFERRED ON ANY PERSON IN THIS ARTICLE VI SHALL NOT BE EXCLUSIVE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT THAT SUCH PERSON MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER ACQUIRE UNDER ANY STATUTE, PROVISION OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, BYLAWS, AGREEMENT, VOTE OR CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS OR DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS, OR OTHERWISE. ADDITIONALLY, NOTHING IN THIS ARTICLE VI SHALL LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE Section 6.4: Indemnification Contracts.
CORPORATION, IN ITS DISCRETION, TO INDEMNIFY OR ADVANCE EXPENSES TO PERSONS WHOM THE CORPORATION IS NOT OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY OR ADVANCE EXPENSES PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE VI.
THE BOARD IS AUTHORIZED TO CAUSE THE CORPORATION TO ENTER INTO INDEMNIFICATION CONTRACTS WITH ANY DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE CORPORATION, OR ANY PERSON SERVING AT THE REQUEST OF THE CORPORATION AS A DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR TRUSTEE OF ANOTHER CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, JOINT VENTURE, TRUST OR OTHER ENTERPRISE, INCLUDING EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, PROVIDING INDEMNIFICATION OR ADVANCEMENT RIGHTS TO SUCH PERSON. SUCH RIGHTS MAY BE GREATER THAN THOSE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE VI.
Section 6.5: Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. THE FOLLOWING SHALL APPLY TO THE EXTENT NOT IN CONFLICT WITH ANY INDEMNIFICATION CONTRACT PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 6.4 OF THESE BYLAWS.
6.5.1 Right to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 6.1 or 6.2 of these Bylaws is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed.
6.5.2 Effect of Determination. Neither the absence of a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.
6.5.3 Burden of Proof. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI, or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.
Section 6.6: Nature of Rights. THE RIGHTS CONFERRED UPON INDEMNITEES IN THIS ARTICLE VI SHALL BE CONTRACT RIGHTS AND SUCH RIGHTS SHALL CONTINUE AS TO AN INDEMNITEE WHO HAS CEASED TO BE A DIRECTOR, OFFICER OR TRUSTEE AND SHALL INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE INDEMNITEE’S HEIRS, EXECUTORS AND ADMINISTRATORS. ANY AMENDMENT, REPEAL OR MODIFICATION OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS ARTICLE VI THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTS ANY RIGHT OF AN INDEMNITEE OR AN INDEMNITEE’S SUCCESSORS SHALL BE PROSPECTIVE ONLY, AND SHALL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ANY RIGHT OR PROTECTION CONFERRED ON A PERSON PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE VI WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDING INVOLVING ANY OCCURRENCE OR ALLEGED OCCURRENCE OF ANY ACTION OR OMISSION TO ACT THAT TOOK PLACE PRIOR TO SUCH AMENDMENT, REPEAL OR MODIFICATION.
Section 6.7: Insurance. THE CORPORATION MAY PURCHASE AND MAINTAIN INSURANCE, AT ITS EXPENSE, TO PROTECT ITSELF AND ANY DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE CORPORATION OR ANOTHER CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, JOINT VENTURE, TRUST OR OTHER ENTERPRISE AGAINST ANY EXPENSE, LIABILITY OR LOSS, WHETHER OR NOT THE CORPORATION WOULD HAVE THE POWER TO INDEMNIFY SUCH PERSON AGAINST SUCH EXPENSE, LIABILITY OR LOSS UNDER THE DGCL.
ARTICLE VII: NOTICES

Any such notice shall be addressed to the person to whom notice is to be given at such person’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

7.1.2 Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this Section 7.1.2 shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of such posting and the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.
7.1.3 Affidavit of Giving Notice. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given in writing or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
Section 7.2: Waiver of Notice. WHENEVER NOTICE IS REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THE DGCL, THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OR THESE BYLAWS, A WRITTEN WAIVER OF NOTICE, SIGNED BY THE PERSON ENTITLED TO NOTICE, OR WAIVER BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION BY SUCH PERSON, WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE TIME STATED THEREIN, SHALL BE DEEMED EQUIVALENT TO NOTICE. ATTENDANCE OF A PERSON AT A MEETING SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF NOTICE OF SUCH MEETING, EXCEPT WHEN THE PERSON ATTENDS A MEETING FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF OBJECTING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING TO THE TRANSACTION OF ANY BUSINESS BECAUSE THE MEETING IS NOT LAWFULLY CALLED OR CONVENED.
