CEO Patrick Spence explained in the company’s This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up that Sonos has reduced its 2024 fiscal guidance as a result of “problems” both customers and partners encountered with the software update. But, the issues don’t stop with revenue. The company also said on its earnings call it will delay two new product launches planned for Q4 until the app is fixed. “Thanks to Ace, our long-awaited entry into headphones, we reported year over year revenue growth and delivered results that slightly exceeded our expectations in our third quarter,” Spence said. “This was overshadowed by the problems that our customers and partners experienced as a result of the rollout of our new app, which in turn has required us to reduce our Fiscal 2024 guidance. We have a clear action plan to address the issues caused by our app as quickly as possible.” Spence said the new products were ready to ship in Q4, but that right now “our number one priority is to make this right and ensure that the next chapter is even better than the previous ones.” Of course, the company hasn’t officially discussed exactly what those two products are just yet.
