ADTRAN Beats Expectations with 43% Revenue Increase

ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. has reported financial results for the first quarter of 2023, which is a mixed bag for investors. The company earned $323.9 million in revenue, which is down compared to the previous year period. The company's Subscriber Solutions category experienced slowing sales, which adversely impacted overall results. However, the company remains confident due to the high demand for upgrading and deploying fiber networks, and its position to capitalize on this business opportunity.

Non-GAAP net (loss) income and non-GAAP diluted (loss) earnings per share exclude acquisition-related expenses, amortizations, adjustments, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of pension actuarial losses, deferred compensation adjustments, asset impairments, integration expenses, restructuring expenses, changes in valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets, and the tax effect of these adjustments to net (loss) income.

The company also declared a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, the company will hold a conference call on May 9, 2023, to discuss its first-quarter results.

This report indicates that ADTRAN Holdings, Inc.'s Subscriber Solutions category needs to be closely monitored. However, the company's strong position in the fiber network deployment business presents long-term growth potential for the company. Investors should also carefully evaluate the non-GAAP financial measures presented in the report.

$ADTN reports mixed results for Q1 2023 with slowing sales in Subscriber Solutions, but strong growth potential in fiber network deployment business. Investors urged to evaluate non-GAAP financial measures.

ADTRAN Holdings, a global provider of open, disaggregated networking and communications solutions, has announced certain preliminary unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The company reported a preliminary revenue of $322 million to $326 million as compared to earlier guidance of $355 million to $375 million. Revenue for Access and Optical Networking products grew sequentially, but supply constraints prevented the company from meeting customer demand across all categories, leading to adjustments in expenses in the near term to reflect the current conditions. However, the company's long-term growth catalysts remain secure as carriers upgrade to fiber. 

The Subscriber Solutions Product line faced concerns over inventory stocking levels, and the company expects the over-supply condition in CPE products to continue in the second quarter. There were delays in clearing past-due backlog across all product categories due to supply constraints. The company expects to see some improvement during the second quarter with the inventory impact being transitory. 

Investors need to keep in mind that the financial measures presented herein are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including changes in connection with quarter-end adjustments. Final results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, will be released as planned on May 8 or May 9, 2023. Investors should monitor these final results to gain a clearer picture of ADTRAN's financial health.
