Vulcan Value Partners made the following comment about SmartRent, Inc. (NYSE:SMRT) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:
SmartRent, Inc. (NYSE:SMRT) provides hardware and software that enables the digital transformation of the apartment industry. Demand for its products remains strong and deployed units continue to increase. Supply chain issues have been a significant headwind but have dramatically improved and order fill rates for components have normalized. There is a significant backlog of units to be installed from their existing customer base. We expect these installations to occur over the next several years. In addition, we expect SmartRent to continue booking new customers. As additional units are installed, the mix of high margin recurring subscription revenue should grow, leading to a corresponding margin expansion.
