Owlet, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All dollar amounts, except per share amounts, in the notes are presented in thousands, unless otherwise specified.

As a result of the merger completed with Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation on July 15, 2021 (the "Merger"), prior period share and per share amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and these related notes have been retrospectively adjusted. See Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Merger" in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Form 10-K") for more information.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods, as further discussed in Note 3.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Food and Drug Administration Letter

On October 1, 2021, the Company received a Warning Letter, later corrected in an amendment to the letter dated October 5, 2021 (the “Warning Letter”), from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) regarding the Owlet Smart Sock. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company agreed with certain customers and retailers to accept returns of the Owlet Smart Sock and Owlet Monitor Duo.

A refund liability of $18,210 and $20,145 has been accrued as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in accrued and other expenses and represents the amount due to customers. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded $6,172 within inventory for returned inventory received and a $2,047 asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets for inventory expected to be returned but not yet received.

Risks and Uncertainties

Since inception, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and generated negative cash flows from operations. The Company has an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2022 of $172,180 and expects to incur additional losses from operations in the future. On July 15, 2021, the Company completed the Merger and received $133,889 in combined net proceeds from the Merger and the private investment in the Company's equity (the "PIPE"). Therefore, as of the date on which these consolidated financial statements were issued, the Company believes that its cash on hand, together with cash generated from sales to customers, will satisfy its working capital and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we are still in the growth stage of our business and expect to continue to make substantial investments in our business, including in the expansion of our product portfolio and in our research and development, sales and marketing teams, in addition to incurring additional costs as a result of being a public company. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or that we will generate sufficient future revenues.

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. As of March 31, 2022, all of the Company's cash was held with Silicon Valley Bank and exceeded federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced a loss or lack of access to its invested cash; however, no assurance can be provided that access to the Company’s invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

Note 2. Certain Balance Sheet Accounts

Inventory

Substantially all of the Company's inventory consisted of finished goods as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment was $309 and $214 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company allocated $190 and $150, respectively, of depreciation and amortization expense related to tooling and manufacturing equipment and software to cost of revenues.

Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization

Intangible assets were $2,098, net of accumulated amortization of $368 as of March 31, 2022 and $1,696, net of accumulated amortization of $329, as of December 31, 2021.

Capitalized software development costs were $1,541 and $1,101 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company's internally developed software capitalized within intangible assets on the balance sheet is still in development and not ready for general release. As such, the Company has not recognized any amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.

Accrued and Other Expenses

Accrued and other expenses, among other things, included accrued sales returns of $20,668 and $21,179 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As described in Note 1, $18,210 and $20,145 of the accrued sales returns as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, was attributable to returns resulting from the Warning Letter.

Stockholders' Equity

The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none is currently outstanding.
Note 3. Leases

The new lease standard was adopted on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition method. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance and did not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the practical expedients to exclude right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet, and to combine lease and non-lease components for property leases, which primarily relate to ancillary expenses such as common area maintenance charges and management fees.

Leases are determined at inception by assessing whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Owlet's leases consist of leases for corporate offices and office equipment, and have remaining lease terms of 2 to 5 years, with options for renewal. Renewal and termination options have not been included in the lease terms, as it is not reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Leases typically contain rent escalations over the lease term. The Company recognizes expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain leases require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses associated with the leased asset. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities to the extent they are variable in nature. These variable lease costs are recognized as a variable lease expense when incurred.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Owlet uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments. Upon adoption, Owlet recorded lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $3,003 and $3,764, respectively, which did not have a net impact on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The lease assets were adjusted for deferred rent, lease incentives, and prepaid rent, which were recorded as a decrease to accrued and other expenses and other long-term liabilities for the amounts of $234 and $527, respectively. There were no finance leases as of adoption or during the quarter.

Income from subleased properties is recognized on a straight-line basis and presented as a reduction of costs, allocated among operating expense line items in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. In addition to sublease rent, variable non-lease costs such as common area maintenance and utilities are charged to subtenants over the duration of the lease for their proportionate share of these costs. These variable non-lease income receipts are recognized in operating expenses as a reduction to costs incurred by the Company in relation to the head lease.

The impact of the new lease standard on the March 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet was as follows:

March 31, 2022
Right of use assets, net$2,727
Accrued and other expenses$1,336
Noncurrent lease liabilities2,103
Total lease liabilities, net$3,439
Weighted average remaining lease term2.3 years
Weighted average discount rate6.5%
8


Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Total operating lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $346, which included approximately $11 related to short-term and variable lease costs.

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:

The following table shows the future maturities of lease liabilities for leases in effect as of March 31, 2022:

Less: imputed interest(257)
Total$3,439

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had four sublease arrangements which are noncancellable and have remaining lease terms of 0.5 to 2.5 years. These subleases do not contain any options to renew or terminate the sublease agreement. The following table shows the expected future sublease receipts as of March 31, 2022:

Years Ending December 31,Sublease Receipts
2022 (excluding the three months ended March 31, 2022)$947
20231,178
2024679
Total expected sublease receipts$2,804

The Company received sublease income of $113 and $17 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

As previously disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the previous lease standard (Topic ASC 840), future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2021 were as follows:

Years Ending December 31,Amount
2022$1,541 
20231,587 
2024953 
Total$4,081 

Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $371 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Note 4. Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues relate to performance obligations for which payments are received from customers prior to the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to its customers. Deferred revenues primarily consist of amounts allocated to the mobile application, unspecified upgrade rights, and content, and are recognized over the service period of the performance obligations, which range from 5 to 27 months.

The Company has an amended and restated loan and security agreement (the "A&R LSA") with Silicon Valley Bank (‘‘SVB’’) which was entered into on April 22, 2020, and which replaced the loan and security agreement previously in place (the ‘‘Original LSA’’). These agreements provided the Company with both a line of credit (the ‘‘SVB Revolver’’) and a term loan (the ‘‘Term Note’’).

On January 31, 2022, the Company further amended the A&R LSA, which modified the SVB Revolver annual interest rate, decreased the advance rate for borrowing base assets, and increased the cash and cash availability streamline threshold. The amendment also modified the Term Note annual interest rates, replaced the existing EBITDA covenant for 2022 and beyond with a net revenue covenant, and increased the minimum cash and cash availability threshold from $5,000 to $30,000.

As of March 31, 2022, the Term Note had an aggregate principal balance of $12,500 as of March 31, 2022, bore interest at a rate equal to the greater of the bank's prime rate plus 2.50%, or 5.75%, and required 30 consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and matures on April 1, 2024.

Prior to January 31, 2022, the Term Note bore interest at a rate equal to the greater of the bank's prime rate plus 3.50%, or 6.50%.

The Company's borrowings under the A&R LSA are secured by substantially all of its current and future assets.

Future Aggregate Maturities

As of March 31, 2022, future aggregate maturities of the Term Note and Financed Insurance Premium payables were as follows:

Years Ending December 31,Amount
2022 (excluding the three months ended March 31, 2022)$5,620 
20236,000 
20242,000 
Total$13,620 

Financed Insurance Premium

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company renewed its corporate liability policies and entered into several new short-term commercial premium finance agreements with AFCO Credit Corporation totaling $4,699 to be paid in ten equal monthly payments, all of which accrue interest at a rate of 3.59%. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining principal balance on the financed insurance premium was $1,120.

Line of Credit

As of March 31, 2022, our borrowing capacity under the SVB Revolver was $17,500 and bore interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%, or 5.00% when a streamline period is in effect and (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%, or 5.00% at all other times. The SVB Revolver is an asset based lending facility subject to borrowing base availability which is limited by specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. Borrowing base availability can be impacted based upon the period's eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, and may be significantly lower than borrowing base capacity.

Prior to January 31, 2022, the SVB Revolver bore interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%, or 5.50% when a streamline period is in effect and (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%, or 6.00% at all other times.

Each streamline period commences the first day of the month following a written report of our liquidity and ends the first day after we fail to maintain a required cash and cash availability streamline threshold, provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, SVB may maintain our streamline status at its discretion. The required cash and cash availability streamline threshold was $50,000 as of March 31, 2022, and we were within a streamline period. The actual interest rate on the SVB Revolver was 5.50% as of March 31, 2022. The SVB Revolver is subject to renewal and is scheduled to mature on April 22, 2024. As of March 31, 2022, there was $4,644 of outstanding borrowings under the SVB Revolver.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

In November 2021, two putative class action complaints were filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, the first captioned Butala v. Owlet, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-09016, and the second captioned Cherian v. Owlet, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-09293. Both complaints allege violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers and directors on behalf of a putative class of investors who: (a) purchased the Company’s common stock between March 31, 2021 and October 4, 2021; or (b) held common stock in SBG as of June 1, 2021, and were eligible to vote in the Special Meeting held on July 14, 2021. Both complaints allege, among other things, that the Company and certain of its officers and directors made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose certain information regarding the FDA’s likely classification of the Owlet Smart Sock as a medical device requiring marketing authorization. The Court has pending before it motions to consolidate the Butala and Cherian cases and appoint a lead plaintiff. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims, including by filing a motion to dismiss on behalf of itself
11


and the named officers and directors. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless, and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware corporate law. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage that reduces its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is immaterial.

Note 7. Share-based Compensation

The company has various stock compensation plans, which are more fully described in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Share-based Compensation" in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under the 2021 Incentive Award Plan, the Company has the ability to grant options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, or other stock or cash-based awards to employees, directors, or consultants.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted 1,842,105 performance restricted stock units ("PRSU"), which represents the number of shares that may be issued should all performance measures be met. The PRSU awards function in the same manner as restricted stock units except that vesting terms are based on achievement of performance measures, such as the achievement of net revenue targets and obtaining certain FDA regulatory approval. PRSUs are recognized as expense following a graded vesting schedule with their performance re-assessed and updated on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as changes in facts and circumstances warrant.

On January 1, 2022, the Company began offering an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute a portion of their eligible earnings toward the semi-annual purchase of our shares of common stock at a discounted price, subject to an annual maximum dollar amount. Employees can purchase stock at a 15% discount applied to the lower closing stock price on the first or last day of the six-month purchase period.

Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Options, RSU, and PRSU awards generally vest over a period of four years.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Total stock-based compensation was recognized as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20222021
General and administrative$1,544 $398 
Sales and marketing740 194
Research and development1,034 236
Total stock-based compensation$3,318 $828 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company capitalized $18 of share-based compensation attributable to internally developed software.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $6,457 of unrecognized stock-based compensation costs related to non-vested options that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.62 years, $18,976 of unrecognized stock-based compensation costs related to unvested RSUs that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.44 years, and $4,262 of unrecognized stock-based compensation costs related to unvested PRSUs that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.28 years.

Note 8.  Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company's assets and liabilities measured and reported in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value.

Common Stock warrant liability - Private Placement Warrants$2,575$2,575
Total liabilities$4,486$2,575$$7,061

Money market funds are included within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The common stock warrant liability for the Public Warrants as of March 31, 2022 is also included within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The Private Placement Warrants are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company determined that the Private Placement Warrants are economically equivalent to the Public Warrants and estimated the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants based on the quoted market price of the Public Warrants.

The Company has previously presented the fair value measurement of the preferred stock warrant liability as a Level 3 measurement, relying on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions. Level 3 measurements, which are not based on quoted prices in active markets, introduce a higher degree of subjectivity and may be more sensitive to fluctuations in stock price, volatility rates, and U.S. Treasury Bond rates.

The preferred stock warrants were settled immediately prior to the Merger. The Company re-measured the preferred stock warrant liability to its estimated fair value as of March 31, 2021, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

13


March 31, 2021
Series A preferred stock value per share$18.23 
Exercise price of warrants$0.76 
Term in years5.5
Risk-free interest rate1.04 %
Volatility67.00 %
Dividend yield0.00 %

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s preferred stock warrant liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of March 31, 2021:

Preferred Stock Warrant Liability
Balance as of December 31, 2020$2,993 
Change in fair value included in other income4,608 
Balance as of March 31, 2021$7,601 

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in the periods reported. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 in the period reported.

Note 9.  Income Taxes

In order to determine the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. To the extent that application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is not representative of the quarterly portion of actual tax expense expected to be recorded for the year, the Company determines the quarterly provision for income taxes based on actual year-to-date income. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

The provision for income taxes was $7 and $5, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, recording valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, and evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions. In evaluating the ability to realize its deferred tax assets, in full or in part, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, forecasted future earnings, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Due to historical net losses incurred and the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets, for all the periods presented, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against the net U.S. deferred tax assets.
The Company files U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations. The Company’s federal and state tax returns are not currently under examination.

Note 12. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2022. See Note 3 for the impact of adoption on these condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as the elimination of exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences, ownership changes in investments, and tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of this standard does not currently have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current guidance. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard does not currently have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and has since released various amendments including ASU No. 2019-04. The guidance modifies the measurement of expected credit losses on certain financial instruments. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report and in “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”). Certain statements we make under this Item 2 constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Reform Act. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” before Part I of this Report. You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II of this Report and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Report, the Form 10–K and our other filings with the SEC.
Overview

Our mission is to empower parents with the right information at the right time, to give them more peace of mind and help them find more joy in the journey of parenting. Our digital parenting platform aims to give parents real-time data and insights to help parents feel calmer and more confident. We believe that every parent deserves peace of mind and the opportunity to feel their well-rested best. We also believe that every child deserves to live a long, happy, and healthy life, and we are working to develop products to help facilitate that belief.


Impact of COVID-19

There continues to be worldwide impact from the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 includes changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears, market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, which have created significant volatility in the global economy that has led to reduced economic activity. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our cash flow, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will depend on future developments that are uncertain.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have safety procedures in place at our headquarters and encourage our employees and contractors to work remotely, where possible, in accordance with local public health recommendations, each of which represented a significant change in how we operate our business. In light of the pandemic, we expect to continue to take actions as may be required or recommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interest of our employees.

We have experienced relatively minor operational impacts on our inventory availability and delivery capacity since the outbreak, neither of which has materially impacted our ability to service our customers. We continue to work with our existing manufacturing, logistics and other supply chain partners to build key processes to ensure that our ability to service our customers is not significantly disrupted. Ongoing actions to bolster key aspects of the supply chain to support our continued growth include geographically diversifying manufacturing operations to ensure adequate manufacturing capacity and to shorten transit times, implementing alternative order fulfillment options to reduce warehousing costs, developing contingency plans for unexpected third-party manufacturing disruptions, and increasing headcount dedicated to managing and optimizing supply chain processes. We have experienced cost inflation resulting from the increased demand for raw materials and distribution services associated with the impact of COVID-19.

Components of Operating Results

Revenues

We recognize revenue from the following sources: (1) products, (2) mobile applications, and (3) content. Revenues are recognized when control of goods and services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received by us in exchange for those goods and services. Substantially all of the Company's revenues were derived from product sales.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of product costs, including contract manufacturing, shipping and handling, depreciation and amortization relating to tooling and manufacturing equipment and software, warranty replacement, fulfillment costs, warehousing, hosting, and reserves for excess and obsolete inventory.

17


Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, share-based compensation, and bonuses for finance and accounting, legal, human resources and administrative executives and employees; third-party legal, accounting, and other professional services; corporate travel and entertainment; depreciation and amortization of property and equipment; and facilities rent.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods compared to periods prior to the Merger as a result of additional costs related to being a public company, including Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) reporting expenses; expenses associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance; incremental independent auditor fees; incremental legal fees; investor relations expenses; registrar and transfer agent fees; incremental director and officer liability insurance costs; and director compensation.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, benefits, share-based compensation, commissions, and bonuses for sales and marketing employees and contractors; third-party marketing expenses such as social media and search engine marketing; email marketing and print marketing.

We expect sales and marketing expense to continue to increase in future periods as we drive sales growth through new and existing marketing initiatives and expand into additional international markets.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, share-based compensation, and bonuses for employees and contractors engaged in the design, development, maintenance and testing of our products and platforms.

We anticipate making significant investments in the development of our monitoring pipeline in future periods and expect our research and development expenses to increase.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense consists of interest incurred on our outstanding borrowings and amortization of the associated deferred financing costs net of interest income earned on our money market account.

Preferred Stock Warrant Liability Adjustment. Mark to market adjustment to recognize the change in fair value of the preferred stock warrant liability in other income (expense).

Common Stock Warrant Liability Adjustment. Mark to market adjustment to recognize the change in fair value of the common stock warrant liability in other income (expense).

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net includes our net gain (loss) on foreign exchange transactions.

Revenues
For the three months ended March 31,Change
(dollars in millions)20222021$%
Revenues$21.5 $21.9 $(0.4)(1.7 %)

Revenues decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.7%, from $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Revenues for the first quarter of 2022 include the initial launch and sell-in of the Dream product line domestically. The decrease in revenues year over year was primarily due to higher provisions for returns of approximately $2 million, primarily due to higher estimated return rates due to a new product launch. Higher initial return rates at product launch improved throughout the first quarter of 2022. This decrease in revenues was substantially offset by increased revenues in international markets.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

For the three months ended March 31,Change
(dollars in millions)20222021$%
Cost of revenues$12.8 $9.2 $3.6 38.5 %
Gross profit$8.8 $12.7 $(3.9)(31.0 %)
Gross margin40.7 %57.9 %

Cost of revenues increased by $3.6 million, or 38.5%, from $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to cost inflation,
19


including increased material and transportation costs and inventory rework costs for inventory returned as a result of the FDA Warning Letter. Gross margin decreased from 57.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 40.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to cost inflation, higher provisions for returns, and inventory re-work costs for returned inventory associated with the FDA warning letter.


General and Administrative

For the three months ended March 31,Change
(dollars in millions)20222021$%
General and administrative$10.3 $6.0 $4.3 71.8 %

General and administrative expense increased by $4.3 million, or 71.8%, from $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was driven primarily by increased compensation expense, including share-based compensation, from additional general and administrative headcount. Additionally, the Company incurred incremental ongoing costs of being a public company, including the increased cost of insurance.


Sales and Marketing

For the three months ended March 31,Change
(dollars in millions)20222021$%
Sales and marketing$11.6 $6.1 $5.5 90.1 %

Sales and marketing expense increased by $5.5 million, or 90.1%, from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation expense, including share-based compensation, from additional sales and marketing headcount, increases in digital advertising, and retail channel marketing spend.


Research and Development

For the three months ended March 31,Change
(dollars in millions)20222021$%

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a gain of $6.9 million for the mark to market adjustment for common stock warrants resulting from the increase in the fair value of the common stock warrants.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Owlet's operations have been funded primarily with proceeds from the Merger and PIPE investment, borrowings under our loan facilities, and sales of our products and services. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $68.7 million.

Funding Requirements

Since inception, we have generated recurring losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $172.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and we expect to incur additional losses in the future. As of the date on which these consolidated financial statements were issued, the Company believes that its cash on hand, together with cash generated from sales to customers, will satisfy its working capital and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we are still in the growth stage of our business and expect to continue to make substantial investments in our business, including in the expansion of our product portfolio and in our research and development, sales and marketing teams, in addition to incurring additional costs as a result of being a public company. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or that we will generate sufficient future revenues. Failure to secure additional funding may require us to modify, delay, or abandon some of our planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact operating cost reductions available to management, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

FDA Warning Letter Returns

A refund liability of $18.2 million has been accrued as of March 31, 2022 in accrued and other expenses and represents amounts due to customers. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded $6.2 million within inventory for returned inventory received and a $2.0 million asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets for inventory expected to be returned but not yet received.

Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank

The Company has an amended and restated loan and security agreement (the "A&R LSA") with Silicon Valley Bank (‘‘SVB’’) which we entered into on April 22, 2020, and which replaced the loan and security agreement previously in place (the ‘‘Original LSA’’). These agreements provided us with both a line of credit (the ‘‘SVB Revolver’’) and a term loan (the ‘‘Term Note’’).

On January 31, 2022, the Company further amended the A&R LSA, which modified the SVB Revolver annual interest rate, decreased the advance rate for borrowing base assets, and increased the cash and cash availability streamline threshold. The amendment also modified the Term Note annual interest rates, replaced the existing EBITDA covenant for 2022 and beyond with a net revenue covenant, and increased the minimum cash and cash availability threshold from $5.0 million to $30.0 million.

Our borrowing capacity under the SVB Revolver was $17.5 million as of March 31, 2022. The SVB Revolver is an asset based lending facility subject to borrowing base availability which is limited by borrowing base calculations
21


based on the sum of specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. Borrowing base availability can be significantly impacted based upon the period's eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, and may be lower than borrowing base capacity.

As of March 31, 2022, the SVB Revolver bore interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%, or 5.00% when a streamline period is in effect and (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%, or 5.00% at all other times.

Prior to January 31, 2022, the SVB Revolver bore interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%, or 5.50% when a streamline period is in effect and (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%, or 6.00% at all other times.

Each streamline period commences the first day of the month following a written report of our liquidity and ends the first day after we fail to maintain a required cash and cash availability streamline threshold, provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, SVB may maintain our streamline status at its discretion. The required cash and cash availability streamline threshold was $50.0 million as of March 31, 2022, and we were within a streamline period. The actual interest rate on the SVB Revolver was 5.50% as of March 31, 2022. The SVB Revolver is subject to renewal and is scheduled to mature on April 22, 2024. As of March 31, 2022, there was $4.6 million of outstanding borrowings under the SVB Revolver.

Our Term Note had an aggregate principal balance of $12.5 million as of March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Term Note bore interest at a rate equal to the greater of the bank's prime rate plus 2.50%, or 5.75%, and required 30 consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and matures on April 1, 2024.

Prior to January 31, 2022, the Term Note bore interest at a rate equal to the greater of the bank's prime rate plus 3.50%, or 6.50%.

Our borrowings under the A&R LSA and its subsequent amendments are secured by substantially all of our current and future assets.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Financed Insurance Premium

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company renewed its corporate liability policies and entered into several new short-term commercial premium finance agreements with AFCO Credit Corporation totaling $4.7 million to be paid in ten equal monthly payments, all of which accrue interest at a rate of 3.59%. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining principal balance on the financed insurance premium was $1.1 million.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow (in millions):
Three Months Ended March 31,
20222021
Net cash used in operating activities$(27.4)$(7.0)
Net cash used in investing activities(0.7)— 
Net cash provided by financing activities1.8 2.8 
Net change in cash and cash equivalents$(26.3)$(4.2)

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $27.4 million as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7.0 million in the prior year. The change in operating cash flows was driven by a higher net loss excluding the impact of non-cash charges and higher working capital usage. Working capital usage was driven by higher receivable levels, higher inventory,, including the impact of return to vendor activity, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued and other expenses as compared to an increase in the prior year. The Company expects the settlement of the accrued returns resulting from the Warning Letter to have a negative impact to cash flows from operations during the fiscal year ended 2022.

22


Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities increased to $0.7 million from $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to higher purchases of intangible assets. We expect our capital expenditures to continue to grow in future periods, primarily driven by investments to expand our production capabilities as well as investments in tooling and equipment to manufacture new products.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $1.8 million from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily driven by payments of long-term debt in 2022, partially offset by higher net short-term borrowings.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes from the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than policies disclosed in this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
23



Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of March 31, 2022, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the re-issuance of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist as of March 31, 2022.

We did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of internal controls and accounting knowledge, experience, and training commensurate with our accounting and financial reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:

We did not design and maintain effective controls over the segregation of duties related to journal entries. Specifically, certain personnel have the ability to both create and post journal entries within the Company’s general ledger system. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.

We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for convertible preferred stock and warrant arrangements. Further, we did not design and maintain effective controls to verify the completeness and accuracy of sales returns and accrued sales tax. Each of these material weaknesses resulted in material adjustments to several account balances and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

We did not design and maintain effective controls over IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored, and data backups are authorized and monitored, and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.

24


Additionally, each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation Plan

We have initiated an implementation plan to remediate these material weaknesses. The remediation measures will be ongoing, and although not all inclusive, remediation measures include hiring additional accounting and financial reporting personnel and implementing additional policies, procedures and controls, all of which will result in future costs for the Company.

We have taken actions to improve our IT general controls, segregation of duties controls, period-end financial reporting controls, and journal entry controls. However, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively.

Notwithstanding the above, our management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of business we face various claims brought by third parties, and we may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert our rights, including intellectual property rights as well as claims relating to employment matters and the safety or efficacy of our products. Any of these claims could subject us to costly litigation, and, while we generally believe that we have adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, our insurance carriers may deny coverage, may be inadequately capitalized to pay on valid claims, or our policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and business.

In November 2021, two putative class action complaints were filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, the first captioned Butala v. Owlet, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-09016, and the second captioned Cherian v. Owlet, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-09293. Both complaints allege violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers and directors on behalf of a putative class of investors who: (a) purchased the Company’s common stock between March 31, 2021 and October 4, 2021; or (b) held common stock in SBG as of June 1, 2021, and were eligible to vote in the Special Meeting held on July 14, 2021. Both complaints allege, among other things, that the Company and certain of its officers and directors made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose certain information regarding the FDA’s likely classification of the Owlet Smart Sock as a medical device requiring marketing authorization. The Court has pending before it motions to consolidate the Butala and Cherian cases and appoint a lead plaintiff. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims, including by filing a motion to dismiss on behalf of itself and the named officers and directors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the information contained in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results. Except as described below and elsewhere in this report, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K.

We currently rely on a single manufacturer for the assembly of our Owlet Sock products and a single manufacturer for the assembly of our Owlet Cam. We will likely rely on single manufacturers for future products we may develop. If we encounter manufacturing problems or delays, we may be unable to promptly transition to alternative manufacturers and our ability to generate revenue will be limited.

We have no manufacturing capabilities of our own. We currently rely on a single manufacturer located in Thailand, Benchmark, for the manufacture of our Owlet Sock products. Additionally, we currently rely on a separate single manufacturer located in China, Shenzhen Aoni Electronic, for the manufacture of our Owlet Cam. We expect to rely on limited manufacturers for future products we may develop. For example, we have relied upon and expect to continue to rely upon a single manufacturer for the supply of the Owlet Band, a product that we are developing and may commercially launch in the future. For us to be successful, our contract manufacturers must be able to provide us with products in substantial quantities, in compliance with regulatory requirements, in accordance with agreed upon specifications, at acceptable costs and on a timely basis.

While our existing manufacturers have generally met our demand requirements on a timely basis in the past, their ability and willingness to continue to do so going forward may be limited for several reasons, including our relative importance as a customer of each manufacturer or their respective ability to provide assembly services to manufacture our products, which may be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or other natural or man-made disasters. Earthquakes are of particular significance since our headquarters are located in an earthquake-prone area. We are also vulnerable to damage from other types of disasters, including power loss, attacks from extremist or terrorist organizations, epidemics, communication failures, fire, floods and similar events.

We are also actively monitoring the rapidly developing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and we are assessing its impact on our business, including our business partners and customers. To date we have not experienced any material interruptions in our infrastructure, supplies, technology systems or networks needed to support our operations. Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, this conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets and supply chain interruptions.
26


Furthermore, our manufacturing agreements can be terminated by our contract manufacturers without cause by giving us prior notice of six months or less. The facilities and the manufacturing equipment used to produce our products would be difficult to replace and could require substantial time to repair if significant damage were to result from any of these occurrences. An interruption in our commercial operations could occur if we encounter delays or difficulties in securing these manufactured products for any reason and we cannot obtain an acceptable substitute. Any transition to a new contract manufacturer, or any transition of products between existing manufacturers, could be time-consuming and expensive, may result in interruptions in our operations and product delivery, could affect the performance specifications of our products, could require that we modify the design of our products, or could require clearance, approval by the FDA, or similar clearances, approvals, or certifications from foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies, depending on the nature of the product and the changes associated with the transition to the new manufacturer. If we are required to change a contract manufacturer, we will be required to verify that the new manufacturer maintains facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality standards and applicable regulatory requirements, which could further impede our ability to manufacture our products in a timely manner. We may not be able to identify and engage alternative contract manufacturers on similar terms or without delay. Furthermore, our contract manufacturers could require us to move to a different production facility. The occurrence of any of these events could harm our ability to meet the demand for our products in a timely and cost-effective manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The manufacture of our products is complex and requires the integration of a number of components from several sources of supply. Our contract manufacturers must manufacture and assemble these complex products in commercial quantities in compliance with regulatory requirements and at an acceptable cost. Our products require significant expertise to manufacture, and our contract manufacturers may encounter difficulties in scaling up production of our products, including problems with quality control and assurance, component supply shortages, increased costs, shortages of qualified personnel, the long lead time required to develop additional facilities for purposes of testing our products or difficulties associated with compliance with local, state, federal and foreign regulatory requirements. Manufacturing or quality control problems may arise in connection with the scale-up of the manufacture of our products. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient supply of product, maintain control over product quality and cost or otherwise adapt to anticipated growth, or if we underestimate growth, we may not have the capability to satisfy market demand, and our business and reputation in the marketplace will suffer. Conversely, if demand for our products decreases, we may have excess inventory, which could result in inventory write-offs that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also encounter defects in materials or workmanship, which could lead to a failure to adhere to regulatory requirements. Any defects could delay operations at our contract manufacturers’ facilities, lead to regulatory fines or halt or discontinue manufacturing indefinitely. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
