SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SmartRent, Inc. (NYSE:SMRT) (“SmartRent” or “the Company”), a leading provider of smart home and smart building automation for property owners, managers, developers, homebuilders and residents, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Lucas Haldeman, CEO of SmartRent, commented, “The significant demand for our value-enhancing open-architecture and hardware-agnostic operating system led to record revenue in the second quarter. Our pipeline is stronger than ever, as evidenced by our more than 606,000 Committed Units, and we are actively adding talent to meet the growing demand from our customers. Importantly, our large base of deferred revenue continues to grow and drive multi-year revenue visibility.”
Mr. Haldeman continued, “We are pleased to have completed our business combination with Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I and could not be more excited for this next chapter of growth as a public company. We are uniquely positioned to penetrate the multibillion-dollar smart building enterprise software market on a global scale across all asset classes in both retrofit and new development, which we believe will create long-term shareholder value.”
Second Quarter Results
Total revenue increased by $15.9 million, or 274%, to $21.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, from $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year increase in revenue resulted primarily from an increase in the volume of installations of the Company’s smart home hardware devices and an increased number of active subscriptions for the Company’s software service applications.
Operating expenses increased by $2.3 million to $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2020, primarily resulting from an increase in research and development expenses related to product portfolio enhancements and sales and marketing expenses related to personnel-related costs to support the growth of the Company’s operations. The Company continues to invest for growth and has increased its total headcount by approximately 93% since the end of June 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA was $(9.3) million in the second quarter of 2021. Net loss was $(10.1) million in the second quarter of 2021, less than our net loss of $(10.4) million in the second quarter of 2020.
Total deferred revenue was $74.5 million as of June 30, 2021, up from $31.9 million as of June 30, 2020 and up from $64.0 million as of March 31, 2021.
First Six Months Results
Total revenue increased by $18.5 million, or 83%, to $40.8 million in the first six months of 2021, from $22.3 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses increased by $3.7 million to $19.1 million in the first six months of 2021 from $15.4 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $(17.7) million and net loss was $(19.3) million in the first six months of 2021.

Additionally, SmartRent recently launched Alloy Access Solo, a single door access control solution that can be retrofitted on nearly any door or perimeter gate using WiFi or cellular connectivity. These products further expand SmartRent’s access control offerings and ability to transform apartments into connected communities. They complement the Company’s recently launched smart parking solution, Alloy Parking, which helps keep properties safe, limits unauthorized parking and make sure residents can readily access their designated parking spaces.
- SmartRent is developing its new student housing division. The student demographic is highly responsive to technology and smart home innovations, and SmartRent is well-positioned to deliver its solutions to this attractive end market.

(1) Key Operating Metrics Defined
SmartRent regularly monitors a number of operating and financial metrics including the following non-GAAP financial measures which the Company believes are key measures of its growth, to evaluate its operating performance, identify trends affecting its business, formulate business plans, measure its progress and make strategic decisions. The Company’s Key Operating Metrics may not provide accurate predictions of future GAAP financial results.
Units Deployed is defined as the aggregate number of the Company’s SmartHubs that have been installed (also including customer self-installations) as of a stated measurement date. The Company uses this operating metric to assess the general health and trajectory of its business growth.
New Units Deployed is defined as the aggregate number of SmartHubs that have been installed (also including customer self-installations) during a stated measurement period. The Company uses this operating metric to assess the general health and trajectory of its business growth.
Committed Units is defined as the aggregate number of SmartHubs that are subject to binding orders from customers together with units that existing customers who are parties to a SmartRent master services agreement have informed us (on a non-binding basis) that they intend to order in the future for deployment within two years of the measurement date. The Company tracks the number of committed units to assess the general health and trajectory of its business and to assist in its longer-term resource analysis.
Units Booked is defined as the aggregate number of SmartHubs associated with binding orders executed during a stated measurement period. The Company utilizes the concept of Units Booked to assist in assessing near-term resource demand and the resulting approximate range of post-delivery revenue that it will earn and record. Units Booked represent binding orders only and accordingly are a subset of Committed Units.
Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is defined as the annualized value of our recurring SaaS revenue earned in the current quarter.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information in this press release. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. SmartRent’s management and board of directors use these non-GAAP measures to understand and evaluate SmartRent’s operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing its business, and they believe these measures also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating SmartRent’s operating results and enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and are not intended to be and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated or defined differently by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measurements have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations.
