I want to 15 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: get right into it because you told our Bloomberg News 16 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: team that the fiscal first quarter, what we're in right now, 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: the holiday period looks to be the most challenging period 18 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: from a supply perspective. It will be a challenge to 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: show growth, you said over last year's strong quarter. Give 20 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: us the details here. What is the most challenging part 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: of the holiday quarter. It's great to be back to him, 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: thank you. Uh. You know, the most challenging thing right 23 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: now is supply. We have a significant amount of demand. Um. 24 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: You know, the consumer is extremely strong, UM, and right 25 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: now we are just working hard to get as many 26 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: products as we can into consumers hands in this holiday quarter. 27 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: We're airshipping, UM, We're out on the market buying the 28 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: chips that we need from other companies and brokers and 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: all sorts of things. And so our team is hard 30 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: at work doing everything they can to make that happen. 31 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 1: But we do see that as the you know, really, 32 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: I guess I would say, you know, the uh, you know, 33 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: the the the period where it's gonna be most challenging 34 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: before we turn up to the kind of growth that 35 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: we adlined for Physical twenty two for this year. So 36 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: it's most acute in our physical Q one the December quarter, um, 37 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: and it should get better um as we progress through two. 38 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: So I gotta ask you, Patrick, you know, one of 39 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: the things we're trying to figure out is really understanding 40 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: our supply chain, right. I mean, for most Americans it's 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: you're either ordering on law and you go to a 42 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: shelf and it's there, are not there and that's our 43 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: kind of understanding. We're peeling back the layers right as 44 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: we keep showing ports and how things move around. What's 45 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: your understanding of what broke down in terms of our 46 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: supply chains? Is it because people aren't working? What is it? Well, 47 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: if we go all the way back to the pandemic, 48 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: because really, Karen, we've been dealing with this, you know, 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: all the way through twenty one, and that's why I'm 50 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: so proud of our ability to really execute over that 51 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: period and deliver the kind of growth we did in 52 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: fiscal one. But if we go back to the beginning 53 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: of the pandemic, you know, all of a sudden, everybody 54 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: pretty much turned off the tap in terms of production. 55 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, everybody turned it off overnight 56 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: as people went into lockdown and tried to figure out 57 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: what the heck was going on. And then all of 58 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: a sudden, with the fiscal stimulus and everything happening and 59 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: people figuring out how to work from home. I think 60 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: not just us, but many in many different categories. We 61 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: saw a much stronger consumer, uh than anybody had expected, 62 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, all those factories and all 63 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: like that, you know, deliver the hundreds of parts in 64 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: a son of speaker, plus the manufacturing facility, plus the 65 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: shippers you know, plus the ports all had to completely 66 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: adjust and go the other way, which is okay, now 67 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: we need to really gear up because it looks like 68 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of demand there. And throughout the year, 69 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: I would say from everything I've seen, UM, all aspects 70 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: of the supply chain have been trying to catch up. 71 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: And that's what you know, we've been trying to kind 72 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: of manage back and forth and trying to deal with 73 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: and so that's why you see it. And it's been 74 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: ups and downs throughout the year, and it's been through 75 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: all the chains. I mean, you start with the production 76 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: of the chips and all the components and those hundreds 77 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: of parts that go into a product, but you end 78 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: with the situation where you're trying to find containers and 79 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: you're trying to you know, find shipping slots. We see 80 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: the backup in l A and all of the areas, 81 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: and so it really is, you know, like it's been 82 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: an end to end period. UM. You know, I think 83 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: the good news is, as you're hearing from many companies 84 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: as we get into two, UM, we expect that to 85 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: improve significantly. UM, but right now is a is a 86 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: huge challenge. So one thing I want to ask, I'm 87 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: not asking to get political, but can the administration do 88 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: something to help with the supply chain? From your perspective, 89 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: I do think the push to you know, really be supporting, um, 90 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, the offloading of ships right and I think 91 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: they extended the operating hours there. I think that's a 92 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: good thing. So anything to enable the flow of goods 93 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: I think right now is helpful. UM. But a lot 94 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 1: of these things, uh, you know, do take some time 95 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: just to work through. And and you know, at least 96 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: in our case, consumer demand has never been higher. UM. 97 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: So it's kind of like, uh, you know, it's kind 98 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: of hitting um in a perfect storm in that way. Well, 99 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about that consumer demand. And 100 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: I think back to just a few months ago when 101 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: I ordered a move for my dad for from his 102 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: Father's Day or for his birthday. And I think this 103 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: was back in May, UM, and it actually didn't ship 104 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: for I think it took a couple of months for 105 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: it to get to him. And if I look at 106 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: the website now for so nos even the move right 107 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: now is expected to ship December sevent So are you 108 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: saying right now that people who order this potentially couldn't 109 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: get it by Christmas? Yeah, Jim, it will depend on 110 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: the products UM here in the country you're in and everything. 111 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: You might be able to go to Best Buy or 112 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: cost Go and be able to purchase one UM. But yeah, 113 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: I mean we keep that up to date UM on 114 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: SOS dot com, so you can see it's pretty transparent 115 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: quite frankly, how long it's going to take to get 116 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: some of our products and some you can get tomorrow UM, 117 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, and some of it will be weeks. But 118 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: that's exactly what we're working through UM. And it does 119 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: vary by product. How concerned are you that somebody might 120 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: see that and say, Okay, well, I'm not going to 121 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: buy that. I'm going to go with a competitor product 122 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: rather than waiting for it to come in stock and 123 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: getting it after the holiday. This is something that we've 124 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: been very focused on, really since the beginning of the 125 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: supply chain challenges last year, and so what we've been 126 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: watching closely are two things. One is UM now that 127 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: our direct to consumer business has grown so much it's 128 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: a quarter of our business. We asked that yesterday in 129 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: a grip. Every year, we have a really really good 130 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: handle on you know, what those orders are, how they're 131 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: coming in. We can watch conversion, we can watch cancelations importantly, 132 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: and that has been very very low, single digits, and 133 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: it has not changed. So it looks like people are 134 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: continuing to stick with UM, you know, our products. And 135 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: I think it makes a lot of sense because this 136 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: is a considered purchase, right. You're not rushing, You're not 137 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: just like haphazardly going to order one of our products. 138 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: You've usually done a little bit of research, You've thought 139 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: about it, um, and then you're placing your order. And 140 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: I think we're all living through a period. You know, 141 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: we just tried to order some furniture for our house. UM, 142 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: where you're talking months, right, So in our case sometimes 143 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: with the weeks UM, with the week's delay, UM, it's 144 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: not you know, in relative to other things, it's not um, 145 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: you know extensive UM. And then the other thing we're 146 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: doing is talking you know, very closely to our retail 147 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: partners and that that demand from our retail partners is 148 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: held up very well, and we check in with them, 149 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: you know, um weekly, if not daily, into or how 150 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: things are going, and all signals are the consumer is strong, 151 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: and our order book continues to stay very strong. UM 152 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: in light of this, and so we're you know, we're 153 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: very grateful to our customers through that. But I think 154 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: it's a reflection of the kind of products and quality 155 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: in our system, right because once you're in the system, 156 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: and we announced we now have over twelve point six 157 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: million homes were in uh you know now that once 158 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: you're in it, then you're gonna add more sell Us 159 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: to your home. You're not gonna go add one of 160 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: our competitors products. So that is well helps our situation. Hey, Patrick, 161 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: one thing we want to ask you, and this is 162 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: just something we know our audience is curious about. There's 163 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: a bunch of lawsuits are going back and forth between you, 164 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: you guys and Google. UM. Google has come out and 165 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: said it's the rightful owner of patents sun ways to 166 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: keep music playlists in the cloud. That from we know 167 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: a key component of a suit that you guys filed 168 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: over the Google play music system. UM Our reporting says 169 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: that you call that contention nonsense. What do investors need 170 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: to know about this? Um? You know, everybody can go 171 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: look at the patents and understand um, when they got filed, 172 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: and you know who the inventors are, which obviously we're 173 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: confident are us and that's why we initiated this action 174 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: in the I T C. UM And the other thing 175 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: I would say, if I you know, I am a 176 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: lot of shareholder as an investor, I would say, is 177 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: you know watch the bilestones, right. And so Eddie, our 178 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: chief LEO Council mentioned yesterday that, um, we're expecting an 179 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: update from the I T C tomorrow in fact, in 180 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: terms of whether they're going to have the full tried 181 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: to UNI review the decision that went our way uh 182 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: in August, or what the next steps will be on 183 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: that one. So UM, if you know, for for anybody watching, 184 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: um that's an investor, I think watching that is probably 185 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: the right way to ultimately look at it. And you 186 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: won't be surprised to know we remain very confident and 187 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: we're very encouraged by the August ruling and expect as 188 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: this progresses to finality that we will prevail. Yeah. Oh sorry, 189 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: you guys are a four point one billion dollar company. Alphabet, 190 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: the parent company of Google, is roughly two trillion dollar company. 191 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: Your confident you can take them on and prevail absolutely, 192 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: And Tim, I think we have to. UM look, being 193 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: a small American innovative company that you know, really invented 194 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: the category, we can't let people you know simply uh, 195 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, come in and copy what we did, because 196 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: it's that's a bad precedent for every other you know, 197 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: small inventive company that is trying to grow UM, you know, 198 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: and has created something new. And so that's a that's 199 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: the thing I felt very strongly about from the beginning, 200 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: and I owe it to people that work here and 201 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: have invented all of it and put their blood, sweat 202 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: and tears into our products. But I also think it's 203 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: a bigger societal issue, right UM. We've seen it with 204 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: other companies UM, whether it's Zero or UM. There's a 205 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: whole host of others Zoom being copied by Google with 206 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: their video solutions. So I just think there's a you know, 207 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: a bigger anti competitive, anti trust kind of issue at 208 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: play UM. And you know, we went to the work 209 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: of filing the patents and making sure that we were 210 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: protecting our inventions really early on, but not all companies 211 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, have necessarily done that. So we feel strongly 212 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: this is important for us to stand up all right. 213 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: Last question, is the metaverse an opportunity for you? Patrick? Seriously? Girl, 214 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: So we absolutely, being the world's leading sad experience company, 215 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: we absolutely will be you know, wanting to play a 216 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: role um in the metaverse. I look at it and 217 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: I say, we're only in less than ten percent of 218 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: the actual I r L in real life homes that 219 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: were you know in today, So we have a lot 220 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: of opportunity to fill the in real life homes before 221 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: we make a move into the metaverse. I think it 222 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: will be a while. We're watching it carefully as we 223 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: do kind of all of the exciting new areas that 224 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: are coming up, and uh, we expect to continue to 225 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: innovate and adapt as the world changes. And um, if 226 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: that's the place we're all enjoying great audio, we will 227 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: be there, all right, cool stuff you left Horn, It's 228 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: gonna be an opportunity, Patrick, be well, have a good 229 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: holiday season and really great to check in with you. 230 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: Patrick Spence, of course, the chief executive officer of Sonas, 231 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: joining us from California.
