We look forward to connecting with many of you at those events. I will now turn the call over to Chris.

Chris Diorio: Thank you, Tracy, and thank you all for joining the call. 2024 marked our fourth consecutive year of double-digit revenue growth and another yearly revenue record. Underlying that growth was market strength in retail apparel general merchandise and supply chain and logistics. Our endpoint IC unit volumes grew 34% over 2023. Our top line growth, combined with strong operating leverage and our favorable litigation settlement drove record annual adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. 2024 also ushered in two major market catalysts. First, start of item-level food tagging; Second, Impinj Gen2X which dramatically expands the landscape of enterprise solutions we and our partners can deliver. The long-term secular tailwinds underlying our industry remains strong, and our leadership position in it is as strong as ever.

That said, we faced headwinds at the end of the fourth quarter that will spill into first. Geopolitical uncertainty in tariffs; end users changing label-partner share allocations; aggressive label price shopping; and shorter ordering cycles disrupted partner bookings. First quarter impact includes some partners having extra endpoint IC inventory and asking us to reschedule orders. Compounded by no large new programs ramping in first half 2025, we cannot sustain our prior 34% endpoint IC unit volume growth pace in the first quarter. So, our focus is helping our inlay partners clear a few weeks of inventory and together, navigating the geopolitical and tariff landscape. And through it all, using our best-in-class products, Enterprise Solutions leadership and Gen2X to regain momentum and increase market share as we accelerate out of a disappointing first quarter.

For 2025, we continue to anticipate solid industry RAIN label expansion, driven by growth in retail apparel, general merchandise and supply chain and logistics, buoyed by modest but growing food volumes. Recent conversations with our enterprise and service bureau partners suggest that U.S. retail demand is solid, U.S. demand for RAIN labels is healthy and growing in the EU, if not growing, is at least stable. Our E-Family reader IC order book is strong across all large partners and geographies, buoying our belief that our first quarter endpoint IC headwinds are temporary. Turning to solutions. Today, we are directly engaged with two large grocery chains, one focused on perishables and the other on seamless self-checkout. Imagine grocery checkout is easy as today’s apparel checkout at our visionary European retailer.

In terms of potential endpoint IC volumes, both are larger than any program that has come before and in terms of the overall opportunity, food is huge. One, if not both of these enterprises may ramp in 2026. In general merchandise, the large North American retailer’s multi-category rollout continues with compliance increasing quarterly and room to grow in 2025. In Supply Chain and Logistics, the second large North American end user increased their label volumes in 2024, and we expect modest growth in 2025 as they continue their autonomous reading journey using our E-family reader ICs. The visionary European retailers ongoing rollout of our self-checkout and loss prevention solution grew in the fourth quarter driving strong gateway revenue, but will decline in the first quarter as that program completes successfully.

That said, our opportunity in new RAIN-based use cases with them is far from over including their ongoing embedded tagging ramp. In addition to our direct engagements, we have partners using our E-family reader ICs and Gen2X to expand existing use cases like loss prevention and enable previously challenging use cases like always on overhead reading in retail stores. Those partner engagements further expand our platform’s footprint, and create multiple endpoint IC share-gain opportunities for us. Our December launch of Gen2X was a bellwether event for our industry. Gen2X dramatically enhances the performance and security of RAIN systems. The response from our ecosystem has been overwhelming with our top six reader partners already deploying Gen2X and others, including prior competitors working with us to deliver clear benefits to end users.

Gen2x is embedded natively in our M800, so unlocking it simply requires reader enablement. Gen2X enables smaller, more cost-effective M800 inlays for most use cases, but especially for cosmetics, accessories and food, adding to our recurring endpoint IC opportunity. We already have multiple enterprises piloting and using Gen2X with more on the way. On the organizational front, Jeff Dossett, our Chief Revenue Officer, announced his retirement after eight years at Impinj. Jeff, we will miss you. But know that we will continue your mission to build peerless solutions engineering and sales teams that leverage our platform to win and delight Fortune 100 enterprises. Gahan Richardson, a seven-year Impinj veteran will lead the sales organization. In closing, 2024 was another year of strong revenue growth and free cash flow.

We delivered record adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share, successfully resolved our patent litigation and delivered market-leading products and innovations. Looking forward, we see first quarter headwinds. But we have been through tough times before. Each time, we press our competitive advantages to emerge a stronger company and a stronger market position. This time, we are better positioned with a far more seasoned team than we have ever been to do so. As we continue driving our bold vision to connect every item in our everyday world, I remain confident in our market position and energized by the opportunities ahead. Before I turn the call over to Cary for our financial review and first quarter outlook, I’d like to again thank every member of the Impinj team for your constant effort driving our bold vision.

As always, I feel honored by my incredible good fortune to work with you. Cary?

Cary Baker: Thank you, Chris, and good afternoon, everyone. When I joined Impinj five years ago, I was drawn both to the massive opportunity and the leverage of recurring silicon revenue. 2024 offer a glimpse of what that future holds with exceptional operating margin expansion on the back of strong revenue growth. We delivered record annual adjusted EBITDA and record free cash flow, while just scratching the surface of our market opportunity. Today, more than ever, I am energized by our secular demand and operating leverage potential. Fourth quarter revenue was $91.6 million, down 4% sequentially compared with $95.2 million in third quarter 2024 and up 30% year-over-year from $70.7 million in fourth quarter 2023. Fourth quarter endpoint IC revenue was $74.1 million, down 9% sequentially compared with $81 million in third quarter 2024 and up 37% year-over-year from $53.9 million in fourth quarter 2023.

Although, we typically see fourth quarter declines, this year was below our expectations as we accommodated partner pushout requests. Looking to the first quarter, we again expect a sequential endpoint IC revenue decline. Fourth quarter systems revenue was $17.5 million, up 23% sequentially compared with $14.2 million in third quarter 2024 and up 4% year-over-year from $16.8 million in fourth quarter 2023. Systems revenue exceeded our expectations, driven by strength in reader gateway and reader IC sales. Looking to the first quarter, we expect systems revenue to decline more than seasonally as the self-checkout and loss prevention deployment at the visionary European retailer conclude successfully. Total 2024 revenue was $366.1 million, up 19% year-over-year compared with $307.5 million in 2023.

Endpoint IC revenue grew 30% year-over-year, driven by apparel, general merchandise, supply chain and logistics, the long tail of applications and licensing revenue. Systems revenue declined 18% year-over-year with reader and gateway declines more about offsetting growth in both test and measurement and reader ICs. Fourth quarter gross margin was 53.1% compared with 52.4% in third quarter of 2024 and 50.9% in fourth quarter 2023. The year-over-year increase was driven by leverage on fixed costs. The quarter-over-quarter increase was driven by higher systems revenue mix and improved endpoint IC direct margins. Full year 2024 gross margin was 54% compared with 51.9% in 2023, with the increase due primarily to licensing revenue. Looking to first quarter 2025, we expect gross margin to decline modestly sequentially.

Total fourth quarter operating expense was $33.6 million compared with $32.5 million in third quarter of 2024 and $33 million in fourth quarter 2023. Research and development expense was $18 million. Sales and marketing expense were $7.8 million. General and administrative expense was $7.9 million. 2024 operating expense totaled $131.9 million compared with $137.8 million in 2023. We expect total first quarter 2025 operating expense to increase sequentially, driven by normal seasonal factors. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $15 million compared with $17.3 million in third quarter 2024 and $3 million in fourth quarter 2023. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.4%. 2024 adjusted EBITDA was $65.9 million compared with $21.8 million in 2023.

2024 adjusted EBITDA margin was 18%. Fourth quarter GAAP net loss was $2.7 million. Fourth quarter non-GAAP net income was $14.5 million or $0.48 per share on a fully diluted basis. 2024 GAAP net income was $40.8 million, 2024 non-GAAP net income was $62.9 million or $2.11 per share on a fully diluted basis. Turning to the balance sheet. We ended the fourth quarter with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $239.6 million. Inventory totaled $99.3 million, up $11 million from the prior quarter, with the increase coming primarily from endpoint ICs. Fourth quarter net cash provided by operating activities was $12.6 million. Property and equipment purchases totaled $4.1 million. Free cash flow was $8.5 million. For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities was $128.3 million.

Property and equipment purchases totaled $17.1 million. Excluding the $45 million income from the litigation settlement, Free cash flow was $66.2 million, driven by revenue growth and operating margin expansion. Before turning to our guidance, I want to highlight a few items unique to our results and outlook. First, endpoint IC revenue will decline sequentially in the first quarter, primarily driven by volume as our channel burns through a few weeks of inventory to a much lesser degree, yearly price reductions and product mix specifically M800 ramping at lower ASPs impact our first quarter outlook. Second, we anticipate first quarter gross margin to mark the low point for the year. Second quarter product gross margin will begin benefiting from higher M800 mix and lower-cost wafers.

Third, while our January bookings exceeded our fourth quarter run rate, to be prudent, we are assuming fewer turns at the midpoint of our revenue guidance. Turning to our outlook. We expect first quarter revenue between $70 million and $73 million. We expect adjusted EBITDA between $1.1 million and $2.6 million. On the bottom line, we expect non-GAAP net income between $1.7 million and $3.2 million, reflecting non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share between $0.06 and $0.11. In closing, I want to thank the Impinj team, our customers, our suppliers and you, our investors, for your ongoing support. I will now turn the call to the operator to open the question-and-answer session. Nick?

Q&A Session

Operator: [Operator Instructions] And your first question today will come from Blayne Curtis with Jefferies. Please go ahead.

Blayne Curtis: I guess a couple I just wanted to kind of understand the timing of which because you did kind of have a flatter December and you’ve been through these cycles before. Did you have any kind of thoughts that this might happen back then? I’m just trying to understand the timing when things kind of flattened out, were you sensing some inventory and then maybe can you talk about when do you see the bulk of these pushouts kind of come to you?

Chris Diorio: Yes. Cary, go ahead.

Cary Baker: So Blayne, thanks for the question. So, as it relates to the channel inventory build, we built a few weeks of excess channel inventory. And we believe the cause of that was a mix between demand and timing with demand being the larger factor. From a demand perspective, our channel inventory levels are a function of their expected demand and the bit that they build ahead of that demand. Nine days ago, we and our partners are expecting stronger demand entering 2025 and for example, the pullback we’ve seen with our second large North American supply chain and logistics customers was unanticipated when we guided Q4. From a timing perspective, aggressive label price shopping and end customers adjusting their inlay supplier mix has resulted in pockets of inventory because not all of our partners run with the same amount of endpoint IC inventory.

And then lastly, you’re probably also seeing inlet partners order shorter to shorter leading times and bringing down their inventory levels to match.

Blayne Curtis: Great. And then maybe you can just relate this to some of the other corrections you’ve seen. Do you feel like you’re ahead of this one anymore? Because in the past, it’s taken a couple of quarters to kind of dig out. I know you said Q1 would be the bottom. I think the question is going to be how fast do you recover this year. So, I’m just kind of curious how you think about the shape of this correction versus other ones you’ve seen in the past.

Chris Diorio: Yes, Blayne, this is Chris. I’ll say a few words, and I’ll see, if Cary wants to jump in. When we saw the production starting in the back half of the fourth quarter, we took swift action. And as I said in my prepared remarks, we’ve seen this way before. We’re better seasoned, we’re better positioned at the time with more season team than we’ve ever been. We’re not calling the duration of the correction that we’re going to go through, but we are actively working through it. And as I said, working with our partners to burn down their excess channel inventory and emerge in a stronger position on the other side. And I personally believe that we’re in a far better position to emerge in that stronger position given everything we’ve got going on in the market. Gen2X, Enterprise Solutions M800, we’re in a strong position this time. So, expect us to accelerate out, but we’re not predicting the timing right now.

Cary Baker: Yes. Blayne, I’ll start by just highlighting, we only guide one quarter at a time. We’re not going to hazard a guess on 2Q at this point. What we see are customers ordering with very short lead times given the market uncertainty, we are prudently modeling fewer turns in our guide input and specifically, we’re modeling zero terms for our endpoint IC business. Are there scenarios where second quarter endpoint IC product revenue recovers on a smaller channel inventory headwind, yes. But we understand that these problems are rarely a one-quarter issue. And while we see those scenarios of a potential snapback, we’re going to prepare for a larger headwind and hope for a better outcome.

Operator: Your next question today will come from Harsh Kumar with Piper Sandler. Please go ahead.

Harsh Kumar: I wanted to ask on a similar note on the success inventory. How many weeks of excess inventory do you think you have and is it spread out over a bunch of different areas or mostly concentrated in one or two sort of inlay partners or industry, however you want to categorize it? But the main question is how many weeks success inventory do you think you have?

Cary Baker: Harsh, this is Cary. I think it’s a few weeks. It’s more concentrated than is typical. A lot of it relates to logistics given the change in demand we see from our second large logistics provider.

Harsh Kumar: Okay. Great. So, my second question was on that. When you talking about the change in demand, are you referring to the Amazon deal with UPS, which is now public, where the volumes will decline. Is that the large function that you are referring to as your second largest customer?

Cary Baker: Well, Harsh, we don’t name specific customers, but if you’ve been following the news, you know there’s been changes in logistics demand.

Chris Diorio: Yes. And Harsh, there’s another element as well. There’s been some share allocations as well. So, our M800 partners built ahead, assuming a certain portion of share, it was a share reallocation, which on top of that, a bit of a pushout has resulted in some channel inventory. And that’s the bulk of the channel inventory that we need to correct, not all of it the bulk of it.

Operator: [Operator Instructions] And your next question today will come from Jim Ricchiuti with Needham & Company. Please go ahead.

Jim Ricchiuti: So, you alluded to the fact that you’re not really seeing large program ramps and obviously, that impacts the first half of the year. And I’m just wondering and again, I know you can’t give guidance beyond the quarter. But when would you or maybe you could just characterize what you see in the pipeline in terms of program ramps that potentially has — could have some impact further out in the year?

Chris Diorio: So, Jim, when you see a strong enterprise pipeline, I cited two food opportunities in our prepared remarks. There’s other opportunities in our pipeline. From an overall enterprise perspective, we see good tailwinds for our industry. We saw strong label growth from last year. And as we see those new opportunities layer in, we expect strong growth in the future. But they don’t just — we’re in a bit of a lull right now, with no new Fortune 100 companies really jumping into the market at least in the first half. And if there is movement in the second half, it will be just the beginning of the land. So just to put it all in a nutshell, strong enterprise pipeline, a lot of interest happens to be a low right now.

Jim Ricchiuti: Got it. And Chris, with respect to the customers that are working in the grocery vertical, obviously, it’s been public Kroger is doing something. Can you say whether the second grocer is a U.S.-based grocer? Or is it a European grocer?

Chris Diorio: Jim, of course, we know I think for competitive reasons, we prefer not to give an answer to that question right now. But it is a large opportunity, and it’s one that we’ve decided to work directly with that enterprise end user because of the potential built into it. I’m sorry, I can’t answer directly.

Jim Ricchiuti: Fair enough.

Chris Diorio: Okay. Thank you, Jim.

Operator: Your next question today will come from Troy Jensen with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please go ahead.

Troy Jensen: Maybe a couple here for Cary. You guys talked about aggressive endpoint price shopping. Can you just kind of talk to us about what is the ASP reductions? Or just any more insight on that?

Cary Baker: Yes. So, when we think of endpoint I see from kind of our pricing impact, which I think is really going on your question, Troy, I would say, given the current market dynamics, the negotiations came in line largely with our expectations. Our focus in this year’s negotiations was driving the M800 adoption, as you know, the M800 is a lower-priced SKU. So, we can expect average ASPs to come down as the M800 ramps as a percentage of our mix. The trade-off, however, is — comes from the gross margin line, where we expect accretion as the lower cost M800 ramps into our volume running SKU.

Chris Diorio: And Troy, I’ll say a little bit more. In terms of aggressive label price shopping, there’s a bit of bonding overcapacity out in the market right now. And so, there’s a fairly competitive market dynamic at the label level. And so, we’re seeing end users on price shop aggressively service based, the shop price shop aggressively and that aggressive price shopping has resulted in delayed orders to us.

Troy Jensen: Got you. All right. Understood. And then in conjunction with that, just Cary, you talked about gross margins being down modestly in Q1. Could you just frame what modestly means?

Cary Baker: Yes. I think maybe let’s talk about the impacts that we’ll see to gross margin. I did say modestly, it will mark the low point for the year and we’ll begin benefiting as we move forward from the M800 mix and lower-cost wafers flowing through. Now, when you construct the guide and you have the top and the bottom line, you can back into roughly what you might think that gross margin will be. But I think the key point is to understand that it will build throughout the year as we ramp the M800 and as we get to those lower-cost wafers.

Operator: Your next question today will come from Christopher Rolland with Susquehanna. Please go ahead.

Christopher Rolland: Yes, just a follow-up. I guess, first of all, on the price shopping comment. Just to understand that, is that pricing between you and your IC competitor, help me understand that a little bit more. And then Chris, I think you also mentioned an aggressive — is there a lower margin inlay guy out there? Just — sorry, help me understand the pricing dynamic here that you were talking about.

Chris Diorio: Sure, Chris. Thanks for the question. So, the label price shopping is twofold. It’s the enterprise end users to service growth as from the service bureaus to the bonders, people who actually take our ICs and put them on a less because there’s some responding capacity in the market, and it’s a pretty competitive market right now. There’s a lot of price shopping around which has resulted in the delayed orders. So, I was referring to the price shopping, it is from our customer, it is between our customer and our customer to our customers customers customer, which is the enterprise end user. Does that help?

Christopher Rolland: That does help. Thank you for that clarity. And then, I know you guys only guide one quarter at a time, but any broad thoughts as to how this inventory dynamic may impact seasonality? Is there going to be any seasonality going forward? Or do we flatline off this space, just any broad thoughts, nothing specific, I think, would be appreciated by all of us.

Cary Baker: Yes. It’s — so, we only guide one quarter at a time, and I really don’t want to hazard a guess on the second quarter right now. Some of the factors that we’re seeing going into our guide. First, our January bookings were strong. They exceeded our fourth quarter run rate, and that January strength includes endpoint IC turns orders. But to be prudent, we’re assuming a fewer turns at the guide at the midpoint of our guide and specifically zero turns on our endpoint IC business. We just want to give ourselves some time to get our arms around the situation. We are working hard to clear out the channel inventory, but we know that can take some time. So, that’s really how we’re thinking about it right now, and we’ll provide more update as we go.

Chris Diorio: If there’s one word, I’d like you to take away, it’s just prudent. That’s where that Cary used and that’s that we’re all behind that word, and that’s where we stand right now, just we’re being prudent as we look forward.

Operator: Your next question today will come from Scott Searle with ROTH Capital. Please go ahead.

Scott Searle: Chris, maybe just given the near-term inventory headwinds. I’m wondering if you could talk about the dynamic of the longer-term growth in the marketplace, right? You’ve consistently talked about the historic endpoint IC unit growth of 25% to 30%. Is that demand profile changing at all when you’re looking at 2025? Or is that still tracking, we’re just working through a near-term inventory issue?

Chris Diorio: Scott, I wish I could answer that question for you. I’ll have a better read on it, a little bit through the year. What we see right now is essentially what I said in our prepared remarks, we see strength in North America kind of driven a little bit across the board, retail apparel, retail, general merchandise and supply chain and logistics as well as new opportunities and then the growing food opportunity. So North America, we see is still solid and it’s still going forward. They use flattish at least from our current perspective. And we don’t usually call out Asia and that’s smaller anyway. So, it’s hard for me to project what those factors mean for 2025 overall. In the longer term, we see long-term secular tailwinds underlying our industry, the food opportunity layering on, at least if we see some ramps heading into 2026, on top of other things that are going on.

Suggest that the future is very bright, and we fundamentally believe it’s very bright. I just can’t hazard a guess right now on 2025, especially given the geopolitical dynamics, the tariff situation, all those other things. I wish I could give you a better answer, but as right now, I can’t.

Scott Searle: And Chris, just a clarification on the tariff issue. When you say geopolitical, is that because customers were pre-buying and pre-shipping ahead of any sort of the tariff situation? Or is there some other dynamic going on there? And then if I could finally just wrap up with the pipeline. It sounds like the pipeline is still pretty active. I was wondering if you could expand beyond food. I think you’ve addressed that a couple of times. But with your large North American retailer general merchandise, I think they will move into the Phase 3, how things like that are progressing on that front and leveraging that existing customers, supply channel or supply chain, right? I think you were talking about other big-box retailers starting to pull forward. Has that dynamic changed at all? Or are some of those opportunities still existing in ’25?

Chris Diorio: Yes. Okay. I’ll do my best on those questions. In terms of the geopolitical situation, it was less of a pull forward and less of — I’m going to use the word sourcing uncertainty and the sourcing uncertainty being primarily if you’re a supplier to an enterprise, you need to know where to source out based on what the tariff situation is. So, we’re seeing some delayed orders just for sourcing decisions based on where the tariffs might hit. And that is resulting in shorter order cycles and essentially causing at least from our perspective, where we are right now to lay orders to us as those decisions get made. In terms of the pipeline, we have ongoing efforts with our lead customers and lead our enterprise end users in the retail apparel space.

We still see significant opportunities there, and we’ll be expanding some of the engagements in the retail apparel space because, as I mentioned in the prepared remarks, some of the things our partners are doing around loss prevention and self-checkout around overhead reading could open up a new wave of opportunities in retail. On top of that, obviously, there is further expansion in retail general merchandise, second large North American supply chain and logistics end user with some spillover to other big-box retailers. We’re taking advantage of some of the tag categories. And then, the third big thing we’re looking at is the enterprise mobile transitioning into consumer mobile. The date that the enterprise mobile is not yet announced yet, but we’re obviously talking about it, all of us are talking about it.

The data for a transition to consumer mobile is further out in time, that’s still a guarded expectation on our part, but we’re going to do everything we can to drive that consumer opportunity, which will truly change the dynamics in the industry. So, it’s all other things. It just basically finds a picture to a bright future. But right now, we’ve got a little bit of a rough touch to go through.

Operator: Your next question today is a follow-up from Harsh Kumar of Piper Sandler. Please go ahead.

Harsh Kumar: So, I wanted to ask you about this — the new customer at the grocery level. Could you at least — I know you don’t want to give us a name, could you tell us if it’s a large customer or a smaller boutique type grocery chain. And then, the other part two of the question is, if you’re going to be having one of these guys ramp in a meaningful way in 2026, would you not start to see some volumes perhaps in 2025, maybe second half with your inlay partners?

Chris Diorio: Yes. So Harsh, I’ll take that one. The answer to the first part of the question is large customer about — anytime you talk food is large. So, we’re actually — but to be specific, it’s in grocery. It’s not in fast food or those kind of things. So, it is grocery at the item level and then the timeframe. Because when you think about the size of the opportunities, the opportunities are so large. The larger opportunity is more measure the pace you just have to accept that. We anticipate some endpoint IC volumes in the back half of the year. Obviously, a lot depends on the pace at which the customers go and things like that. We expect some volume — some volumes in the back half of the year. And ideally, one or both of those will ramp into 2026.

Now that said, the one that we’re not deciding right now since it is a self-checkout opportunity, we have a lot of work to do to get it fully up and running and working. So, we’re in early days. And in the same way as it took us some time to do the self-checkout of loss prevention opportunity with the visionary European retailer. We really need to roll up our sleeves and get this one working for this particular grocer. It’s not a loss prevention opportunity at self-checkout, but self-checkout at item level grocery is going to take some work on our side. I believe we’re the best company to do it. We’re best positioned to do it. And if anybody can do what we can. We’re going to give it our best shot, and I believe we will make it go, but I can’t give you the timing yet.

Harsh Kumar: Understood. Thank you, Chris, for that color.

Operator: That concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Chris Diorio, Co-Founder and CEO, for any closing remarks.

Chris Diorio: Thank you, Nick, and I’d like to thank all of you for joining the call today. Thank you for your ongoing support. Bye-bye.

Operator: The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today’s presentation. You may now disconnect.
