“We are optimistic about our outlook and are poised for continued strong growth. Demand for our solutions continues to grow and our backlog increased to $12 billion in the quarter.”
Tom Ernst, Symbotic CFO, says: “In addition to our 168 percent annual revenue growth, gross margin improved and operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, declined sequentially.
“We initiated a record six system deployments during the first quarter as we continue to rapidly scale operations and deliver for our customers.
