MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- View, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIEW) (“View” or the “Company”), a leader in smart building platforms and technologies, today announced financial results for Q3 2022.
“I am proud of the View team and what we have accomplished together building great products and serving our customers well to drive transformation in the real estate industry,” said Dr. Rao Mulpuri, CEO of View. “With proven products installed in 100 million square feet of buildings and market leading customers, we are excited about the next stage of our journey. We have in place the manufacturing capacity, operational infrastructure, and capital to support our growth and execute on our profitability milestones.”
Q3 2022 Results
Q3 2022 revenue of $24 million represents a 26% year-over-year increase from Q3 2021, due to growth across all product lines, including Smart Glass, Smart Building Platform and Smart Building Technologies. Year-to-date revenue of $57 million represents a 25% year-over-year increase.
Q3 2022 cost of revenues of $49 million represents a 5% year-over-year decrease from Q3 2021. The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily driven by a decrease in new contract loss accruals, recently implemented cost savings initiatives and improved inventory management, partially offset by higher costs associated with increased Smart Building Platform revenues and higher production requirements. Year-to-date cost of revenue declined by 6% y/y compared to the same period in 2021. Cost of revenues continue to decrease as a percentage of revenues, reflecting the benefit of growing revenues over the Company’s fixed costs.
View incurred $16 million in Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses in Q3 2022, a decrease of 57% from Q3 2021. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily driven by a reduction in depreciation expense following a one-time charge in Q3 2021 of $14 million, completion of R&D projects and cost savings initiatives.
View incurred $41 million in Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, an increase of 8% from Q3 2021, primarily due to an increase in non-cash Employee Stock Based Compensation expense. Other spending in SG&A was held relatively flat compared to the year prior.
$200 million Convertible Notes
On October 27th, View announced it raised $200 million in Convertible Senior Notes to support the Company’s continued growth and path to profitability. The investment was led by RXR-affiliated investment vehicles, with participation from USAA Real Estate, Anson Funds, and the Environmental Strategies Group of BNP Paribas Asset Management, as well as other new and existing investors.
This investment by leading real estate developers and operators represents an endorsement of View’s leadership position and vision for transforming real estate into more sustainable, healthier, and smarter infrastructure built to better serve users.
Investment Tax Credit
In August, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law and included smart windows under Section 48 ITC, which provides a tax credit similar to solar, wind and storage. This is a major inflection point for the industry and is intended to accelerate deployment of smart windows.
View Smart Windows are expected to qualify for a 30% to 50% tax credit. The Company expects ITC to bring smart windows to cost parity with conventional windows and be the catalyst to drive mass adoption of smart windows.
Full Year 2022 Outlook
With continued execution and momentum year-to-date, the Company reaffirms full year 2022 revenues in the range of $100 million to $110 million, driven by volume growth, strong ASPs, and continued traction with Smart Building Platform and Smart Building Technologies products.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and certain materials View files with the SEC, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by View, other than statements of historical fact, contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions, projections, and management’s beliefs, that are subject to change. There can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will be achieved; these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond View’s control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. View’s business is subject to a number of risks, which are described more fully in View’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. View undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain financial information and data that was not prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures, and other measures that are calculated using such non-GAAP measures, are an addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
The Company presents these non-GAAP amounts because management believes they provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to View’s financial condition and results of operations, and they assist management and investors in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. View’s management uses these non-GAAP measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. View believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends in and in comparing View’s financial measures with those of other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. View’s management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore View’s non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP results are included in the financial statements contained in this release.
