Conference Call Takeaway
CEO Travers acknowledged that the quarter was challenging due to the macro environment and geopolitical tensions in Europe. These undercurrents resulted in the timing impact of certain customer orders, resulting in a revenue shortfall in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. He believes that the AR industry is still in its infancy. Major customer accounts reflected the growth as the company focused on providing value-added hardware solutions. Vuzix continues to invest in core technologies such as waveguides, display engines, and enhance manufacturing capabilities. In the weakest quarter in history, Q1 revenue fell year-over-year (-36%). The shortfall is due to an anomaly in the first quarter of 2021, a beneficiary of the timing delay of the quarter’s early launch. Without the launch of two key accounts, the first quarter of fiscal 2022 will meet or exceed consensus estimates. There was momentum in the OEM side of the business, which has not been reflected in the quarter. CEO Travers still expects core smart glass revenue to surpass 2021 revenue in 2022, helped by expansion in logistics and warehousing and healthcare.All of its major healthcare ISVs are expanding the availability of Vuzix-powered surgical solutions, including Medacta’s next AR shoulder augmented reality surgical platform in Europe and the US
