Revenue decreased 42% year over year, primarily due to a significant decrease in revenues from the audio conferencing category, which includes our DSP mixer products. “We believe this revenue decline was primarily due to the cumulative impact of past production shortages,” said Derek Graham, CEO of ClearOne. “Historically, we have seen a lag of several months between the time that our professional conferencing products are specified for a project and the date when those products are purchased for installation. Since our product availability was constrained through a significant part of Q4 2023, as a result of delays in the transition of outsourced manufacturing from China to Singapore throughout 2023, we believe our revenue was impacted negatively by these market dynamics through much of Q3 2024. Our sales in Q3 2024 were also impacted by our transition to a new distributor in the Middle East. We anticipate, although there can be no assurance that our new Middle East Distributor will continue our previous history of sales growth in the region, but there was an impact to our Net Revenue in Q3 due to the transition. We have also faced sales headwinds from our products’ lack of Microsoft Teams certification, despite their longtime functional compatibility with this platform. Our work through early 2024 has focused on mitigating these impacts through maintaining consistent dialogues, product demonstrations, and feedback cycles with end users and channel partners, along with improving our visibility at key industry events. In addition, we have increased our investments in marketing to increase the visibility of our products to end users looking for ways to improve the quality of audio and video for their meetings.
