Quality

66

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 66 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Accelerating

81

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 81 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as accelerating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Moderate

53

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 53 of 100, recorded as moderate. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has been reduced at about 3.5% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

Sonos is a leading audio company dedicated to elevating life through sound. Since pioneering multi-room wireless audio in 2005, Sonos has built a system that unites every dimension of sound - music, movies, stories and conversations - into one connected platform. The portfolio includes home theater speakers, components, plug-in and portable speakers, and headphones that compound in value with every room and device its customers add. Known for exceptional sound, thoughtful design, ease of use and seamless access to the world’s audio content, Sonos is trusted by more than 17 million households in 60+ countries around the world.

Since we launched our first product 20 years ago, we have grown our install base by launching innovative new products, delivering a seamless customer experience, and expanding our global footprint. In fiscal 2025, existing customers accounted for approximately 45% of new product registrations. As of September 27, 2025, we had a total of nearly 53.4 million products registered in approximately 17.1 million households globally. Our customers have typically purchased additional Sonos products over time. As of September 27, 2025, 61% of our 17.1 million households had registered more than one Sonos product. As of September 27, 2025, our households owned 3.13 products on average.

In fiscal 2025, we made several executive leadership changes, including the appointment of Tom Conrad as our new Chief Executive Officer in July 2025 following his tenure as interim Chief Executive Officer since January 2025. Under Mr. Conrad's direction, we have significantly improved our software products, reorganized our operations to improve our efficiency and effectiveness and recommitted to delivering the kind of premium experience our customers expect. With every new product, software feature and integration, the Sonos platform becomes more powerful and provides greater value to our customers.

We started a cost transformation initiative in fiscal 2024 aimed at optimizing our investments for sustainable, long-term growth and to enhance our agility. We have 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"). See Note 13. Restructuring and Other Charges in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for further information. Furthermore, we remain focused on additional transformation efforts to improve both our operational efficiency and effectiveness. Additionally, during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we began the process of exiting a partnership with one of our contract manufacturers to consolidate and improve supply chain efficiency. We expect to complete this exit with minimal disruption to our business by the second quarter of fiscal 2026. We continue to maintain diversified contract manufacturing partnerships.
