Forward Guidance

iRobot anticipates 2020 revenue growth in the range of 9% to 11%, but expects operating profitability and EPS to be constrained due to pricing, promotional activity, and tariff costs. The company plans to continue funding investments to rebound in 2021 with accelerated revenue growth and improved operating income.
