Is Matterport doing well?

Quotes: [1] "Total revenue was $126.9 million in 2022 compared to $111.2 million in 2021, an increase of $15.7 million, or 14%." [2] "Subscription revenue grew 21% to $56.1 million in 2022, compared to $46.4 million in 2021."

Answer: Yes, Matterport appears to be doing fairly well financially. Total revenue grew 14% from 2021 to 2022 to $126.9 million. [1] Subscription revenue also grew 21% in that time. [2] These revenue growth figures indicate the company's financial performance improved over the past year.

Quotes: [1] "Our net loss was $168.5 million and $86.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively." [2] "We may continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and may not be able to achieve profitability." [3] "We incurred net losses of $168.5 million and $86.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future." [4] "We had $312.1 million and $297.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $51.6 million and $264.8 million of short-term and long-term investments in marketable securities as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively." [5] "Total revenues increased by $1.6 million, or 1%, to $136.0 million in 2022 from $134.3 million in 2021, primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in subscription revenue, partially offset by a $2.4 million decline in license and services revenues."

Answer: Based on the information provided, Matterport does not appear to be doing well financially. The company incurred significant net losses in both 2022 and 2021, with the loss increasing from $86.1 million to $168.5 million year-over-year. [1,3] Matterport expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may not achieve profitability. [2,3] While the company has substantial cash and investments on hand [4], its total revenues only increased by 1% in 2022 compared to 2021, with a decline in license and services revenues partially offsetting the growth in subscription revenue. [5] These factors suggest that Matterport is facing challenges in its financial performance and growth.

Quotes:

[1] "We have incurred losses since inception, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and maintain profitability."

[2] "As of December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $336.3 million."

[3] "We expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future."

[4] "Our quarterly revenue has declined for the last three quarters compared to the quarters in the prior year."

Answer:

Based on the quotes, Matterport does not appear to be doing well financially. The company has incurred significant losses since its inception, with an accumulated deficit of $336.3 million as of the end of 2022. [2] Matterport expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future. [3] Additionally, the company's quarterly revenue has declined for the last three quarters compared to the prior year. [4] Quote [1] also indicates that Matterport may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and maintain profitability.
