1. Business Overview and Basis of Presentation

Description of business

Sonos, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, "Sonos," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") designs, develops, manufactures, and sells audio products and services. The Sonos sound system provides customers with an immersive listening experience created by the design of its speakers, headphones and components, a proprietary software platform, and the ability to stream content from a variety of sources over the customer’s wireless network or over Bluetooth.

The Company’s products are sold through third-party physical retailers, including custom installers of home audio systems, select e-commerce retailers, and its website, sonos.com. The Company’s products are distributed in over 60 countries through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonos Europe B.V. in the Netherlands, Beijing Sonos Technology Co. Ltd. in China, Sonos Japan GK in Japan, and Sonos Australia Pty Ltd. in Australia.

Basis of presentation and preparation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, (the "Annual Report"), filed with the SEC on November 15, 2024.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations, and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended December 28, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.

The Company operates on a 52- week or 53- week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30 each year. The Company’s fiscal year is divided into four quarters of 13 weeks, each beginning on a Sunday and containing two 4-week periods followed by a 5-week period. An additional week is included in the fourth fiscal quarter approximately every five years to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. This last occurred in the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended October 3, 2020, and will reoccur in the fiscal year ending October 3, 2026. The three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, spanned 13 weeks each. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "fiscal 2025" refers to the fiscal year ending September 27, 2025, "fiscal 2024" refers to the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, and "fiscal 2023" refers to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments compared to historical experience and expected trends.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies, recently adopted accounting pronouncements, or recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption from those disclosed in the Annual Report, except as noted below.

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires disclosure of disaggregated information about significant expenses within relevant income statement captions, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. Also required is a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the pronouncement to determine the impact it may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Financial Instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair values due to the short period of time to maturity or repayment. The Company utilizes the following fair value hierarchy to establish priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value:

•Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

The following table summarizes cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities by investment category as of December 28, 2024 and September 28, 2024:

Marketable securities

As of December 28, 2024, the Company held no securities with original maturities exceeding one year. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

There were no realized gains or losses on sales of marketable securities during the three months ended December 28, 2024. The Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be required to sell before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses was deemed unnecessary for these securities as of December 28, 2024.

Accrued interest receivable related to our marketable securities was immaterial as of December 28, 2024. No accrued interest receivables were written off during the three months ended December 28, 2024.

6. Debt

On October 13, 2021, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and Bank of America N.A., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., and Goldman Sachs Bank USA as the other lenders party thereto (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100.0 million and (ii) an uncommitted incremental facility subject to certain conditions. Proceeds are to be used for working capital and general

corporate purposes. In June 2023, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement, replacing prior references to LIBOR with references to SOFR as a result of the discontinuation of LIBOR. The facility may be drawn as an Alternative Base Rate Loan (at 1.00% plus an applicable margin) or Term Benchmark Loan (at the Term SOFR Rate, plus the applicable Term SOFR Adjustment ranging from 0.11% to 0.43%, plus an applicable margin (in total, "Adjusted Term SOFR")). The Company must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.200% to 0.275% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitment under the agreement and (ii) a per annum fee equal to the applicable margin over Adjusted Term SOFR multiplied by the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit. As of December 28, 2024, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings and had $2.4 million in undrawn letters of credit that reduce the availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants, a financial covenant that is tested quarterly and requires the Company to maintain a certain consolidated leverage ratio, and customary events of default. As of December 28, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments to suppliers

As of December 28, 2024, the Company's open purchase orders to contract manufacturers for finished goods were approximately $84 million, the majority of which are expected to be paid over the next six months. As of December 28, 2024, the Company's expected commitments to suppliers for components were in the range of $170 million to $190 million, the majority of which is expected to be paid and/or utilized by our contract manufacturers in building finished goods within the next two years. The expected commitments are subject to change as a result of fluctuations in the demand forecast, as well as ongoing negotiations with contract manufacturers and suppliers. These commitments are related to components that can be specific to Sonos products and comprised 1) indirect obligations to third-party manufacturers and suppliers, 2) the inventory owned by contract manufacturers procured to manufacture Sonos products, and 3) purchase commitments made by contract manufacturers to their upstream suppliers.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to employee relations, business practices, and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

The Company’s Lawsuits Against Google:

On January 7, 2020, the Company filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") against Alphabet Inc. ("Alphabet") and Google LLC ("Google") and a counterpart lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Google. The complaint and lawsuit each allege infringement by Alphabet and Google of certain Sonos patents related to its smart speakers and related technology. The counterpart lawsuit was stayed pending completion of the ITC investigation and appeal thereof. The ITC concluded its investigation in January 2022, finding all five of the Company’s asserted patents to be valid and infringed by Google, and further finding that one redesign per patent proposed by Google would avoid infringement. The ITC issued a limited exclusion order and a cease-and-desist order with respect to Google’s infringing products. The Company and Google each appealed the ITC’s determination, which was upheld in its entirety by a panel of the appeals court. Google's petition for rehearing by the full appeals court has been denied. The stay in the counterpart lawsuit has been lifted. No trial date has been set.

On September 29, 2020, the Company filed another lawsuit against Google alleging infringement of additional Sonos patents and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief. A jury trial was held in May 2023, which found one Sonos patent to be infringed and another Sonos patent not infringed, and returned an award of $32.5 million

based on a royalty rate of $2.30 per infringing unit. After trial, the court held Sonos’ patents unenforceable under the doctrine of prosecution laches and invalid as a result of amendments made during prosecution. The Company is appealing the ruling.

Google’s Lawsuits Against the Company:

On June 11, 2020, Google filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company alleging infringement by the Company of five Google patents and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief. All five of these patents have since been found invalid or non-infringed by the Court or by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or have been withdrawn from the case by Google. The Court has now entered final judgment for Sonos and against Google. Google has appealed.

On August 8, 2022, Google filed two complaints with the ITC against the Company and two counterpart lawsuits in the Northern District of California against the Company, collectively alleging infringement by the Company of seven Google patents generally related to wireless charging, device setup, and voice control, and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief. The counterpart lawsuits are stayed pending completion of the ITC investigations. The ITC has terminated the investigation as to one Google patent as a result of imminent expiration of that Google patent. The first ITC investigation concluded in December 2023 with a final determination of no violation by the Company. Google chose not to appeal this determination. The oral hearing in the second ITC investigation has been postponed after the administrative law judge has indicated that she will be invalidating both Google patents at issue.

Implicit

On March 10, 2017, Implicit, LLC (“Implicit”) filed a patent infringement action in the United States District Court, District of Delaware against the Company. Implicit is asserting that the Company has infringed on certain claims of two patents in this case. The Company denies the allegations. The claims at issue have been held unpatentable by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Implicit has appealed this ruling, which is currently scheduled to be heard by the appeals court by mid-2025. A range of loss, if any, associated with this matter is not probable or reasonably estimable as of December 28, 2024.

The Company is involved in certain other litigation matters not listed above but does not consider these matters to be material either individually or in the aggregate at this time. The Company’s view of the matters not listed may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.

8. Stockholders' Equity

On November 15, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $200.0 million. During the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,884,654 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $27.1 million and at an average price of $14.40 per share under the repurchase program. Aggregate purchase price and average price per share exclude commission and excise tax. As of January 1, 2023, the Company's share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act. Any excise tax incurred is recognized as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired in the condensed consolidated statements of equity. The Company had $43.9 million available for share repurchases under the repurchase program as of December 28, 2024.

Treasury stock during the three months ended December 28, 2024, included 658,055 shares withheld to satisfy employees' tax withholding requirements in connection with vesting of stock awards. Additionally, during the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company retired 421,210 shares of treasury stock.

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	25,334	$	19,358

10. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is generally determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR"), adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. The impact of such inclusions could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings or losses versus annual projections. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the AETR, and if the estimated AETR changes, a cumulative adjustment is made in that quarter.

The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $6.4 million and a provision for income taxes of $12.0 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively, related to U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes. The negative U.S. AETR is driven by anticipated income tax expense on a forecasted U.S. book loss resulting from capitalizing research and development expense pursuant to U.S. Internal Revenue Code ("Section 174") with no corresponding deferred tax benefit.

For the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company utilized the AETR method to calculate separate U.S. and foreign income tax provisions. Separate U.S. and foreign AETRs were calculated in accordance with US GAAP since Sonos Inc is forecasted in a full-year loss with no corresponding deferred tax benefit while all non-U.S. entities are forecasted to profitability and, unlike the prior year, small fluctuations in forecasted pre-tax income (loss) are not expected to have a material impact on the estimated U.S. AETR. For the three months ended December 30, 2023, the Company calculated its U.S. income tax provision using the discrete method as though the interim period was an annual period since minor deviations in the projected pre-tax net income (loss) in the U.S. could have resulted in a disproportionate and unreliable effective tax rate under the AETR method.

(unaudited)

For the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company’s tax benefit resulted from the application of a negative U.S. AETR to year-to-date U.S. pretax income offset in part by a tax provision for non-U.S. income taxes. For the three months ended December 30, 2023, the Company's U.S. income tax provision was adversely impacted by Section 174 as the Company recorded a current U.S. tax expense with no corresponding deferred tax benefit due to the valuation allowance maintained against its U.S. deferred tax assets.

For the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the U.S. continued to be appropriate considering cumulative pre-tax losses in recent years and uncertainty with respect to future taxable income. Release of the valuation allowance in the U.S. would result in a benefit to the income tax provision in the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net earnings. The timing and amount of the potential valuation allowance release are subject to significant management judgment, as well as prospective earnings in the U.S.

11. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the potentially dilutive impact of stock awards, using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders:

Diluted	$	0.40	$	0.64

The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders because including them would have been antidilutive:

12. Retirement Plans

The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan (the "401(k) Plan") for the Company’s U.S.-based employees, as well as various defined contribution plans for its international employees. Eligible U.S. employees may make tax-deferred contributions under the 401(k) plan but are limited to the maximum annual dollar amount allowable under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Company matches contributions towards the 401(k) Plan and international defined contribution plans. The Company's matching contributions totaled $2.3 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.

13. Subsequent Events

On January 13, 2025, the Company announced that Patrick Spence would be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and as a member of the Board, effective immediately. In connection with Mr. Spence’s departure, the Board appointed Tom Conrad as Interim CEO and President, effective January 13, 2025. Mr. Conrad will remain a member of the Board; however he has resigned from his position as Chair and member of the Compensation, People and Diversity & Inclusion Committee of the Board in connection with his appointment as Interim CEO.

On January 13, 2025, the Company informed Maxime Bouvat-Merlin, the Company’s Chief Product Officer (“CPO”), that the Company had eliminated the CPO role, effective immediately. The Company and Mr. Bouvat-Merlin have agreed that he will remain employed by the Company as an advisor to the Interim CEO for a mutually agreed transition period.

On February 5, 2025, the Company announced a reorganization and reduction in force involving approximately 12% of its employees to improve the Company's operating model and cost structure and set the Company up for long-term success. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $15 million to $18 million of restructuring and related charges, substantially all of which are related to employee severance and benefits costs. The Company expects to incur substantially all of the restructuring and related charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Item 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.

We operate on a 52- week or 53- week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30 each year. Our fiscal year is divided into four quarters of 13 weeks, each beginning on a Sunday and containing two 4-week periods followed by a 5-week period. An additional week is included in the fourth fiscal quarter approximately every five years to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding future operations and performance, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "would," "expect," "objective," "plan," "potential," "seek," "grow," "target," "if," and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations, objectives, restructuring efforts, timing of certain tax impacts and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the section titled "Risk Factors" set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report and in our other SEC filings. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Overview

Sonos is one of the world's leading sound experience brands.

We pioneered multi-room, wireless audio products, debuting the world’s first multi-room wireless sound system in 2005. In October 2024, we introduced Arc Ultra, our new premium soundbar debuting Sound Motion TM, our revolutionary transducer technology, and Sonos Sub 4, the next generation of our iconic subwoofer with a refreshed design and internals. Today, our product lineup includes wireless, portable, and home theater speakers, headphones, components, and accessories to address consumers’ evolving audio needs. We are known for delivering unparalleled sound, thoughtful design aesthetic, simplicity of use, and an open platform. Our platform has attracted a broad range of more than 100 streaming content providers, such as Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and Pandora. These partners find value in our independent platform and access to our millions of desirable and engaged customers. We frequently introduce new services and features across our platform, providing our customers with enhanced functionality, improved sound, and an enriched user experience. In May 2024, we launched an extensive redesign of our Sonos app. We rebuilt the app from the ground up with the purpose of improving the user experience through a modern user interface and to provide a modular developer platform allowing us to drive more innovation faster in the future. We are committed to continuous technological innovation as reflected in our growing global patent portfolio. We believe our patents comprise the foundational intellectual property for wireless multi-room and other audio technologies.

We generate revenue from the sale of our Sonos speaker products, including wireless speakers, home theater speakers and beginning in June 2024, headphones, from our Sonos system products, including our component products, and from partner products and other revenue, including Sonos and third-party accessories and partnerships.

Key Metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in

making operational and strategic decisions. Our key metrics are total revenue, products sold, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated under U.S. GAAP for Adjusted EBITDA is net income. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated under U.S. GAAP for Adjusted EBITDA margin is net income margin.

(1)Net income margin is calculated by dividing net income by revenue.

(2)For additional information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (which are non-GAAP financial measures), including reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, see the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Products Sold

Products sold represents the number of products that are sold during a period, net of returns and includes the sale of products in the Sonos speakers and Sonos system products categories, as well as module units sold through our partnerships with IKEA and Sonance from our Partner products and other revenue category. Growth rates between products sold and revenue are not perfectly correlated because our revenue is affected by other variables, such as the mix of products sold during the period, promotional discount activity, the introduction of new products that may have higher or lower than average selling prices, changes to selling prices, as well as the impact of recognition of previously deferred revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and constant currency which are non-GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that we exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest income, interest expense, other income (expense), income taxes, legal and transaction related costs, restructuring and abandonment costs, and other items that we do not consider representative of underlying operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We present percentage sales growth in constant currency to show performance unaffected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency growth percentages by translating our current period financial results using the prior period average currency exchange rates and comparing these amounts to our prior period reported results.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Furthermore, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. These metrics may also have certain limitations as they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income,

including stock-based compensation, which has been and will continue to be, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA:

(1)Legal and transaction-related costs consist of expenses related to our intellectual property ("IP") litigation against Alphabet and Google, as well as legal and transaction costs associated with our acquisition activity, which we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance.

(2)On August 14, 2024, we initiated a restructuring plan to reduce our cost base involving approximately 6% of our employees (the "2024 restructuring plan"). Substantially all restructuring related costs were incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we recorded a gain resulting from the impact of remaining restructuring costs that were lower than our estimated liability. The gain was recognized as a credit in research and development expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For fiscal 2024, restructuring and abandonment costs also include nominal remaining costs incurred related to the restructuring plan incurred on June 14, 2023.

We generate substantially all of our revenue from the sale of Sonos speakers and Sonos system products. We also generate a portion of revenue from Partner products and other revenue sources, including accessories such as speaker stands and wall mounts, and architectural speakers from our Sonance partnership.

Total revenue decreased $62.0 million, or 10.1%, for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, driven by softer demand due to market conditions and challenges resulting from our 2024 app rollout, partially offset by the introduction of Arc Ultra in October 2024 and Ace in June 2024.

Sonos speakers revenue represented 84.8% of total revenue for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and decreased 7.1% compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, primarily driven by expected declines in Arc and Sonos One, as well as Move, partially offset by the introduction of Arc Ultra and Ace, as well as Era 100. Sonos system products represented 10.9% of total revenue for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and decreased 28.7% compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, due to lower sales to our installed solutions channel. Partner products and other revenue represented 4.3% of total revenue for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and decreased 7.3% compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023.

The volume of products sold decreased 12.3% for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, primarily driven by expected declines in Arc and Sonos One, as well as Move, and partially offset by the introduction of Arc Ultra and Ace, as well as Era 100.

Gross profit	$	241,406		$	282,679		$	(41,273)	(14.6)	%
Gross margin	43.8		%	46.1		%

Cost of revenue consists of product costs, including costs of our contract manufacturers for production, components, shipping and handling, tariffs, duty costs, warranty replacement costs, packaging, fulfillment costs, manufacturing and tooling equipment depreciation, warehousing costs, hosting costs, and excess and obsolete inventory write-downs. It also includes licensing costs, such as royalties to third parties, and attributable amortization of acquired developed technology. In addition, we allocate certain costs related to management and facilities, personnel-related expenses, and supply chain logistic costs. Personnel-related expenses consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation expenses.

Our gross margin has fluctuated and may, in the future, fluctuate from period to period based on a number of factors, including the mix of products we sell, the mix of channels through which we sell our products, fluctuations of our product and material cost saving initiatives, fluctuations in our product and material markets, promotional activity, the foreign currency in which our products are sold, and tariffs and duty costs implemented by governmental authorities.

Cost of revenue decreased $20.7 million, or 6.3%, for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in products sold as well as a decrease in product and material costs, partially offset by a shift into higher cost products.

Gross margin decreased 230 basis points for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in inventory-related write-downs, unfavorable channel mix, and increased depreciation and amortization primarily related to the reclassification of our Mayht in-process research and development into finite-lived intangible assets, partially offset by decreased product and material costs.

(1) On August 14, 2024, we initiated the 2024 restructuring plan. Substantially all restructuring related costs were incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we recorded a gain resulting from the impact of remaining restructuring costs that were lower than our estimated liability. The gain was recognized as a credit in research and development expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For fiscal 2024, restructuring and abandonment costs also include nominal remaining costs incurred related to the restructuring plan incurred on June 14, 2023.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, consulting and contractor expenses, tooling, test equipment, prototype materials, and related overhead costs. To date, software development costs have been expensed as incurred because the period between achieving technological feasibility and the release of the software has been short and development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant.

Research and development expenses increased $1.6 million, or 2.0%, for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by a stock-based compensation expense related to retention of key personnel, partially offset by lower personnel-related costs due to lower headcount.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising and marketing activity for our products and personnel-related expenses, as well as trade show and event costs, sponsorship costs, consulting and contractor expenses, travel costs, depreciation for product displays, as well as related maintenance and repair expenses, customer experience and technology support tool expenses, revenue related sales fees from our direct-to-consumer business, and related overhead costs.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.7 million, or 3.2%, for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023. This was primarily driven by app recovery spend and

Table o f contents

depreciation costs associated with a refresh of our product displays deployed at retail locations, partially offset by lower revenue-related sales fees.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of administrative personnel-related expenses for our finance, legal, human resources and similar personnel, as well as the costs of professional services, information technology, litigation, patents, related overhead, and other administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased $14.0 million, or 35.1%, for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel and facilities costs following the 2024 restructuring plan and a decrease in legal fees mainly related to our IP litigation.

Interest Income, Interest Expense, and Other Income (Expense), Net

Comparison of the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023


	Three Months Ended				Change
	December 28, 2024		December 30, 2023		$		%

Total other income, net	$	(4,278)	$	13,244	$	(17,522)	(132.3)	%

Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances. Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our debt financing arrangements and amortization of debt issuance costs. Other income, net consists primarily of our foreign currency exchange gains and losses relating to transactions and remeasurement of asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We expect our foreign currency gains and losses to continue to fluctuate in the future due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest income for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, decreased due to lower cash balances. Interest expense for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, increased primarily due to increased expenses associated with our Revolving Credit Agreement and banking partners. Other income (expense), net for the three months ended December 28, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023, decreased from other income of $10.3 million for the three months ended December 30, 2023 to other expense of $6.0 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024 due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

Comparison of the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023


	Three Months Ended				Change
	December 28, 2024		December 30, 2023		$		%
(In thousands, except percentages)
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	(6,422)	$	11,992	$	(18,414)	(153.6)	%

We recognized a tax benefit of $6.4 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024, compared to a provision for income taxes of $12.0 million for the three months ended December 30, 2023. This decrease was driven by a change in the prescribed US GAAP method to calculate the interim income tax benefit for the period ending December 28, 2024 versus the method used to calculate the income tax provision for the period ending December 30, 2023.

Table o f contents

For the three months ended December 28, 2024, we utilized the AETR method to calculate separate U.S. and foreign income tax provisions. Separate U.S. and non-U.S. AETRs were calculated in accordance with interim US GAAP reporting requirements since, unlike the prior year, small fluctuations in forecasted pre-tax income (loss) are not expected to have a material impact on the estimated U.S. AETR. For the three months ended December 30, 2023, we calculated our U.S. income tax provision using the discrete method as though the interim period was an annual period, since minor deviations in the projected pre-tax loss in the U.S. could have resulted in a disproportionate and unreliable effective tax rate under the AETR method.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations are financed primarily through cash flows from operating activities. As of December 28, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents of $280.0 million, including $143.3 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, marketable securities of $47.9 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and borrowing capacity under the credit facility under our Revolving Credit Agreement. In accordance with our policy, the undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries remain indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States as of December 28, 2024, as they are required to fund needs outside of the United States. In the event funds from foreign operations are needed to fund operations in the United States and if U.S. tax has not already been previously provided, we may be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, cash flows from operations and committed credit lines will be sufficient to meet our long-term working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. We hold our cash with a diverse group of major financial institutions and have processes and safeguards in place to manage our cash balances and mitigate the risk of loss. In October 2021, we entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement, which allows us to borrow up to $100 million, with a maturity date of October 2026. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, our planned sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, our potential merger and acquisition activity, market acceptance of our products, and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in increased dilution to our stockholders. If we were to incur additional debt financing, it would result in increased debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could require additional operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.

Debt Obligations

On October 13, 2021, we entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100 million and (ii) an uncommitted incremental facility subject to certain conditions. Proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The facility may be drawn as an Alternative Base Rate Loan (at 1.00% plus an applicable margin) or Term Benchmark Loan (SOFR plus an applicable margin). We must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.200% to 0.275% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitment under the agreement and (ii) a per annum fee equal to the applicable margin over SOFR multiplied by the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit. As of December 28, 2024, we did not have any outstanding borrowings and had $2.4 million in undrawn letters of credit that reduce the availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants, a financial covenant that is tested quarterly and requires us to maintain a certain consolidated leverage ratio, and customary events of default. As of December 28, 2024, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Effect of exchange rate changes	(2,818)		1,478
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	110,223	$	247,111

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of $156.2 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024, consisted of net income of $50.2 million, non-cash adjustments of $47.3 million, and a favorable impact of net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $58.6 million. Non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. The net increase in cash from the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in inventories of $89.3 million as the result of measures taken to more efficiently manage inventory, an increase in accrued compensation of $12.4 million, and an increase in other liabilities of $9.1 million primarily for provisions for our returns. The net increase in cash from the change in operating assets and liabilities was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $41.4 million.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash used in investing activities of $9.3 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024, primarily consisted of the purchases of marketable securities of $10.1 million and purchases of property and equipment of $13.1 million mainly related to point-of-sale product displays and manufacturing-related tooling and test equipment to support the launch of new products, partially offset by cash provided by maturities of marketable securities of $13.9 million.

Cash flows from financing activities

Cash used in financing activities of $33.8 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024, primarily consisted of payments for repurchases of common stock of $27.2 million and payments for repurchases of common stock related to shares withheld for tax in connection with vesting of stock awards of $9.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.4 million.

Commitments and Contingencies

See Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Other than items discussed in Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially, except as follows:

Foreign Currency Risk

Our inventory purchases are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Our international sales are primarily denominated in foreign currencies and any movement in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which we conduct sales in foreign countries could have an impact on our revenue, principally for sales denominated in the euro and the British pound. A portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the United States and are denominated in foreign currencies, which are also subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In certain countries where we may invoice customers in the local currency our revenues benefit from a weaker dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger dollar. The opposite impact occurs in countries where we record expenses in local currencies. In those cases, our costs and expenses benefit from a stronger dollar and are adversely affected by a weaker dollar.

We have not entered into any material foreign exchange contracts or derivatives to hedge any foreign currency exposures. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. Our continued international expansion increases our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations and, as a result, such fluctuations could have a significant impact on our future results of operations.

For the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we recognized a loss from foreign currency exchange of $6.0 million and gain of $10.1 million, respectively. Based on transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar as of December 28, 2024, a hypothetical adverse change of 10% would have resulted in an adverse impact on income before benefit from income taxes of approximately $9.3 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required under Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") as of December 28, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in management's evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15(f) during the quarter ended December 28, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Other than the matters described in Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not a party to any legal proceedings that in the opinion of our management, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2024, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and operating results, and affect the trading price of our common stock. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report.

(1)In November 2023, the Board authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $200 million. During the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,884,654 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $27.1 million, and an average price of $14.40 per share under the repurchase program. Aggregate purchase price and average price per share exclude commission and excise tax. See Note 8. Stockholders' Equity of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. The Company withholds shares of common stock from certain employees in connection with the vesting of stock awards issued to such employees to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements. Although these withheld shares are not issued or considered common stock repurchases under the Company's stock repurchase program and therefore are not included in the preceding table, they are treated as common stock repurchases in the Company's financial statements as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting.

(2)Approximate dollar value of shares that may yet to be purchased under the plans or programs does not include the impact of direct costs incurred to acquire shares.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business Overview and Basis of Presentation	1. Business Overview and Basis of Presentation Description of business Sonos, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, "Sonos," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") designs, develops, manufactures, and sells audio products and services. The Sonos sound system provides customers with an immersive listening experience created by the design of its speakers, headphones and components, a proprietary software platform, and the ability to stream content from a variety of sources over the customer’s wireless network or over Bluetooth. The Company’s products are sold through third-party physical retailers, including custom installers of home audio systems, select e-commerce retailers, and its website, sonos.com. The Company’s products are distributed in over 60 countries through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonos Europe B.V. in the Netherlands, Beijing Sonos Technology Co. Ltd. in China, Sonos Japan GK in Japan, and Sonos Australia Pty Ltd. in Australia. Basis of presentation and preparation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, (the "Annual Report"), filed with the SEC on November 15, 2024. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations, and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended December 28, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other period. The Company operates on a 52- week or 53- week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30 each year. The Company’s fiscal year is divided into four quarters of 13 weeks, each beginning on a Sunday and containing two 4-week periods followed by a 5-week period. An additional week is included in the fourth fiscal quarter approximately every five years to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. This last occurred in the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended October 3, 2020, and will reoccur in the fiscal year ending October 3, 2026. The three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, spanned 13 weeks each. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "fiscal 2025" refers to the fiscal year ending September 27, 2025, "fiscal 2024" refers to the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, and "fiscal 2023" refers to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments compared to historical experience and expected trends.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies, recently adopted accounting pronouncements, or recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption from those disclosed in the Annual Report, except as noted below. Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires disclosure of disaggregated information about significant expenses within relevant income statement captions, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. Also required is a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the pronouncement to determine the impact it may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Debt	3 Months Ended
Debt	Dec. 28, 2024
Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	6. Debt On October 13, 2021, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and Bank of America N.A., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., and Goldman Sachs Bank USA as the other lenders party thereto (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for (i) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100.0 million and (ii) an uncommitted incremental facility subject to certain conditions. Proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. In June 2023, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement, replacing prior references to LIBOR with references to SOFR as a result of the discontinuation of LIBOR. The facility may be drawn as an Alternative Base Rate Loan (at 1.00% plus an applicable margin) or Term Benchmark Loan (at the Term SOFR Rate, plus the applicable Term SOFR Adjustment ranging from 0.11% to 0.43%, plus an applicable margin (in total, "Adjusted Term SOFR")). The Company must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.200% to 0.275% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitment under the agreement and (ii) a per annum fee equal to the applicable margin over Adjusted Term SOFR multiplied by the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit. As of December 28, 2024, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings and had $2.4 million in undrawn letters of credit that reduce the availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants, a financial covenant that is tested quarterly and requires the Company to maintain a certain consolidated leverage ratio, and customary events of default. As of December 28, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingencies	Dec. 28, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	7. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments to suppliers As of December 28, 2024, the Company's open purchase orders to contract manufacturers for finished goods were approximately $84 million, the majority of which are expected to be paid over the next six months. As of December 28, 2024, the Company's expected commitments to suppliers for components were in the range of $170 million to $190 million, the majority of which is expected to be paid and/or utilized by our contract manufacturers in building finished goods within the next two years. The expected commitments are subject to change as a result of fluctuations in the demand forecast, as well as ongoing negotiations with contract manufacturers and suppliers. These commitments are related to components that can be specific to Sonos products and comprised 1) indirect obligations to third-party manufacturers and suppliers, 2) the inventory owned by contract manufacturers procured to manufacture Sonos products, and 3) purchase commitments made by contract manufacturers to their upstream suppliers. Legal proceedings From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to employee relations, business practices, and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The Company’s Lawsuits Against Google: On January 7, 2020, the Company filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") against Alphabet Inc. ("Alphabet") and Google LLC ("Google") and a counterpart lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against Google. The complaint and lawsuit each allege infringement by Alphabet and Google of certain Sonos patents related to its smart speakers and related technology. The counterpart lawsuit was stayed pending completion of the ITC investigation and appeal thereof. The ITC concluded its investigation in January 2022, finding all five of the Company’s asserted patents to be valid and infringed by Google, and further finding that one redesign per patent proposed by Google would avoid infringement. The ITC issued a limited exclusion order and a cease-and-desist order with respect to Google’s infringing products. The Company and Google each appealed the ITC’s determination, which was upheld in its entirety by a panel of the appeals court. Google's petition for rehearing by the full appeals court has been denied. The stay in the counterpart lawsuit has been lifted. No trial date has been set. On September 29, 2020, the Company filed another lawsuit against Google alleging infringement of additional Sonos patents and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief. A jury trial was held in May 2023, which found one Sonos patent to be infringed and another Sonos patent not infringed, and returned an award of $32.5 million based on a royalty rate of $2.30 per infringing unit. After trial, the court held Sonos’ patents unenforceable under the doctrine of prosecution laches and invalid as a result of amendments made during prosecution. The Company is appealing the ruling. Google’s Lawsuits Against the Company: On June 11, 2020, Google filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company alleging infringement by the Company of five Google patents and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief. All five of these patents have since been found invalid or non-infringed by the Court or by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or have been withdrawn from the case by Google. The Court has now entered final judgment for Sonos and against Google. Google has appealed. On August 8, 2022, Google filed two complaints with the ITC against the Company and two counterpart lawsuits in the Northern District of California against the Company, collectively alleging infringement by the Company of seven Google patents generally related to wireless charging, device setup, and voice control, and seeking monetary damages and other non-monetary relief. The counterpart lawsuits are stayed pending completion of the ITC investigations. The ITC has terminated the investigation as to one Google patent as a result of imminent expiration of that Google patent. The first ITC investigation concluded in December 2023 with a final determination of no violation by the Company. Google chose not to appeal this determination. The oral hearing in the second ITC investigation has been postponed after the administrative law judge has indicated that she will be invalidating both Google patents at issue. Implicit On March 10, 2017, Implicit, LLC (“Implicit”) filed a patent infringement action in the United States District Court, District of Delaware against the Company. Implicit is asserting that the Company has infringed on certain claims of two patents in this case. The Company denies the allegations. The claims at issue have been held unpatentable by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Implicit has appealed this ruling, which is currently scheduled to be heard by the appeals court by mid-2025. A range of loss, if any, associated with this matter is not probable or reasonably estimable as of December 28, 2024. The Company is involved in certain other litigation matters not listed above but does not consider these matters to be material either individually or in the aggregate at this time. The Company’s view of the matters not listed may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Dec. 28, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes The Company’s income tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is generally determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR"), adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. The impact of such inclusions could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings or losses versus annual projections. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the AETR, and if the estimated AETR changes, a cumulative adjustment is made in that quarter. The Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $6.4 million and a provision for income taxes of $12.0 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively, related to U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes. The negative U.S. AETR is driven by anticipated income tax expense on a forecasted U.S. book loss resulting from capitalizing research and development expense pursuant to U.S. Internal Revenue Code ("Section 174") with no corresponding deferred tax benefit. For the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company utilized the AETR method to calculate separate U.S. and foreign income tax provisions. Separate U.S. and foreign AETRs were calculated in accordance with US GAAP since Sonos Inc is forecasted in a full-year loss with no corresponding deferred tax benefit while all non-U.S. entities are forecasted to profitability and, unlike the prior year, small fluctuations in forecasted pre-tax income (loss) are not expected to have a material impact on the estimated U.S. AETR. For the three months ended December 30, 2023, the Company calculated its U.S. income tax provision using the discrete method as though the interim period was an annual period since minor deviations in the projected pre-tax net income (loss) in the U.S. could have resulted in a disproportionate and unreliable effective tax rate under the AETR method. For the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company’s tax benefit resulted from the application of a negative U.S. AETR to year-to-date U.S. pretax income offset in part by a tax provision for non-U.S. income taxes. For the three months ended December 30, 2023, the Company's U.S. income tax provision was adversely impacted by Section 174 as the Company recorded a current U.S. tax expense with no corresponding deferred tax benefit due to the valuation allowance maintained against its U.S. deferred tax assets. For the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the U.S. continued to be appropriate considering cumulative pre-tax losses in recent years and uncertainty with respect to future taxable income. Release of the valuation allowance in the U.S. would result in a benefit to the income tax provision in the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net earnings. The timing and amount of the potential valuation allowance release are subject to significant management judgment, as well as prospective earnings in the U.S.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of presentation and preparation	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, (the "Annual Report"), filed with the SEC on November 15, 2024. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, its results of operations, and its cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended December 28, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other period. The Company operates on a 52- week or 53- week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest September 30 each year. The Company’s fiscal year is divided into four quarters of 13 weeks, each beginning on a Sunday and containing two 4-week periods followed by a 5-week period. An additional week is included in the fourth fiscal quarter approximately every five years to realign fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. This last occurred in the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended October 3, 2020, and will reoccur in the fiscal year ending October 3, 2026. The three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, spanned 13 weeks each. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "fiscal 2025" refers to the fiscal year ending September 27, 2025, "fiscal 2024" refers to the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, and "fiscal 2023" refers to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.
Use of estimates and judgments	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments compared to historical experience and expected trends.
Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption	In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires disclosure of disaggregated information about significant expenses within relevant income statement captions, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. Also required is a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the pronouncement to determine the impact it may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
