A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On November 19, 2022, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Symbotic Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Richard Cohen, the Company’s current Chairman of the Board and President, as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of November 19, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). Mr. Cohen will not receive any additional compensation in connection with his new role as Chief Executive Officer. Information about Mr. Cohen’s age, business experience and compensation has been previously reported, most recently in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2022, as amended.
In connection with Mr. Cohen’s appointment, Michael J. Loparco, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board effective as of the Effective Date. Mr. Loparco’s departure from the Company and the Board was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
In connection with his resignation, Mr. Loparco entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with the Company as of November 20, 2022. The Separation Agreement provides that Mr. Loparco will receive aggregate severance payments of $1,050,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule over a period of eighteen (18) months, and a payment of $700,000 representing his target annual cash incentive for 2022, payable in December 2022. The Company will also (i) reimburse Mr. Loparco for up to $30,000 for remaining lease expenses incurred by him for his Wilmington, Massachusetts area accommodations, (ii) provide for up to $20,000 for legal fees incurred by Mr. Loparco in connection with the entry into the Separation Agreement and (iii) agree to not seek repayment or forfeiture of Mr. Loparco’s sign-on bonus paid pursuant to the terms of the offer letter regarding his hiring as the Chief Executive Officer. The Separation Agreement further provides that Mr. Loparco will, subject to the terms and conditions therein, serve as a special advisor to the Board up to January 19, 2023 and will receive $200,000 in advisory service fees in connection with such role. Mr. Loparco will be entitled to continuation of group medical insurance coverage subsidized by the Company for the lesser of 18 months or until he becomes eligible for enrollment in group health coverage of a successor employer or otherwise. Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Loparco will be subject to (a) a general release of claims, (b) confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions, and (c) non-compete provisions for a period of one year after the completion of his advisory services.
The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1.

(i) | medical benefits continuation for a period of eighteen (18) months (either through full premium reimbursement under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, or through the continuation of benefits as if his employment continued, at the Companys discretion) (the Benefits Continuation); provided, however, that if Employee becomes eligible to receive health insurance benefits from a subsequent employer or otherwise, Employee shall promptly notify the Company and all Benefits Continuation shall cease; |
(ii) | $1,050,000, payable in accordance with the Companys normal payroll schedule over a period of eighteen (18) months; |

(v) | reimbursement of up to $30,000 of the remaining lease expenses actually incurred by Employee for his Boston Seaport District accommodations, the address of which has been provided to the Company; provided, however, that Employee shall use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to terminate such lease and mitigate such remaining lease expenses; and |

The Severance Benefits will be furnished and paid, subject to applicable withholdings and deductions and in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, contingent on Employees execution and non-revocation of this Agreement within twenty-one (21) days after the Separation Date, provided that Employee continues to comply with the terms of the Restrictive Covenant Agreements. Any cash Severance Benefits will begin to be paid within two (2) payroll periods after this Agreement is fully executed and effective, with the first (1st) payment containing any amounts that otherwise would have been paid following separation. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Severance Benefits are in lieu of any payments or benefits under any current or future severance plan of the Company, and Employee therefore waives and agrees not to make any claims for such payments or benefits.

Achieved Record Quarterly Revenue of $244 Million (167% Growth Year Over Year)
Rick Cohen Named Chief Executive Officer
Established Key Partnerships to Support Growth Through 2025

Wilmington, Massachusetts (November 21, 2022) Symbotic Inc. (Nasdaq: SYM), a leader in A.I.-enabled robotics technology for the supply chain, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 24, 2022. Symbotic posted revenue of $244.4 million, a net loss of $53.3 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss1 of $20.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In the same quarter of fiscal 2021, Symbotic had revenue of $91.7 million, a net loss of $31.5 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss1 of $24.0 million.
For the full fiscal year 2022, Symbotic reported revenue of $593.3 million, reflecting 136% growth year over year, a loss of $139.1 million, and an adjusted EBITDA loss1 of $89.8 million.
The company also announced that Symbotic Chairman of the Board and current President & Chief Product Officer, Rick Cohen, will return to his role as Chief Executive Officer. Michael Loparco will serve as a Special Advisor to the Board for a period of transition.
Reflecting on our critical next phase of growth, we determined that a single point of leadership is the best way to lead Symbotic. Michael helped us scale for future growth and advanced our partner network and operations, said Rick Cohen. We thank him for his contributions and wish him success in his future endeavors.
Symbotic achieved record quarterly revenue with accelerated system installations during the fourth quarter. We are excited to have established multiple worldwide outsourcing partnerships to support our robust growth plans through 2025, and we expanded our customer base with a new multi-system win, continued Rick Cohen.
Fourth quarter 2022 revenue grew 167% and adjusted EBITDA margin1 improved by more than 14 percentage points, compared to the same period a year ago, said Symbotic Chief Financial Officer Tom Ernst. We initiated a record five system deployments during the fourth quarter as we continue to rapidly scale operations and deliver for our customers. For our first quarter of fiscal 2023, we expect revenue of $170 million to $200 million, more than double our first quarter fiscal 2022 revenue. We also expect an adjusted EBITDA2 loss of $21 million to $25 million reflecting reduced system cost, offset by continued investments in innovation and scaling of our business.
Webcast Information

####
1 | Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue) are non-GAAP measures as defined below under Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information. See the tables below for reconciliations to net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure. |
2 | Symbotic is not providing guidance for net loss, which is the most comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA, because information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to net loss is unavailable to it without unreasonable effort. Symbotic is not able to provide reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of Symbotics control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for stock-based compensation. |

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Symbotic reports its financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). This press release contains financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. GAAP (non-GAAP), including adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool as they do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures Symbotic uses may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-GAAP measures are provided as a supplement to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to provide additional information regarding the results of operations from managements perspective. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, in isolation from, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are reconciled to their closest reported U.S. GAAP measures. Symbotic recommends that investors review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
Symbotic defines adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as GAAP net loss excluding the following items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets; unit-based compensation; business combination transaction expenses; and other non-recurring items that may arise from time to time. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue. In addition to Symbotics financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Symbotic believes that adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful in evaluating the performance of Symbotics business because they highlight trends in its core business.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, Symbotics expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions.

Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in Symbotics Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on June 29, 2022 and amended on July 20, 2022. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and Symbotic believes there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in understanding our financial performance, financial position and cash flows as of and for periods ended on certain dates and to present information about managements current expectations and plans relating to the future, and the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because of their inherent uncertainty and to appreciate the limited purposes for which they are being used by management. While we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there is no assurance that such assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on the beliefs, estimates, expectations and opinions of management on that date. Symbotic is not under any obligation, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports that Symbotic has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in Symbotics Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 29, 2022, and amended on July 20, 2022 and those identified elsewhere in this press release, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: failure to realize the benefits expected from the business combination between SVF Investment Corp. 3 (SVF) and Symbotic (the Business Combination) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 12, 2021 (the Merger Agreement), by and among SVF, Warehouse Technologies LLC, Symbotic Holdings LLC and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp. that closed on June 7, 2022; the effects of pending and future legislation; and risks related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of Symbotic.
Any financial projections in this press release or discussed during the webcast are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Symbotics control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Symbotic believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that Symbotic, or its representatives, considered or considers the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.
Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.
This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Symbotic and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Symbotic. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release and other reports we file with, or furnish to, the SEC and other regulatory agencies and made by our directors, officers, other employees and other persons authorized to speak on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
