iRobot reports Q4 EPS ($2.06) vs. ($1.82) last year

Reports Q4 revenue $172.0M vs. 307.5M last year. “2024 was a transformational year for iRobot (IRBT), marked by the continued and successful execution of our five-point iRobot Elevate turnaround strategy as we’ve meaningfully reduced operating losses, improved gross margins and optimized cash flow,” said Gary Cohen, iRobot CEO. “iRobot has defined the robotic floorcare category for more than 30 years, and we remain committed to growing and evolving our business across smart home categories amidst a dynamic operating landscape. As we move ahead, we will continue to take decisive action to reclaim our position as the industry leader and build on iRobot’s strong foundation centered around our globally recognized, iconic brand, Roomba.” Cohen continued, “Yesterday, we announced the largest product launch in iRobot’s history, better positioning iRobot as the leader in the category that we created. Importantly, this strong pipeline of breakthrough new products is expected to be margin-accretive compared to our legacy products and should begin to support year-over-year revenue growth in 2025. We plan to leverage that top-line growth with our lower cost structure to drive improved profitability, and we remain on track to achieve gross-margin expansion and improved cash flow from operations this year.”
