CommScope Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
CLAREMONT, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network connectivity solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. We are extremely pleased with our outstanding results in the second quarter. CommScope net sales of $1.39 billion increased 31.7% from the prior year. Net sales were positively supported by stronger-than-expected results across all segments. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $338 million, a strong improvement of 79% year-over-year, marking the fifth consecutive quarter. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues was 24.3%, compared to 17.9% in the prior year, a year-over-year improvement of 640 basis points. "We are well positioned for future growth and are raising our 2025 adjusted EBITDA guideposts to $1.15 to $1.20 billion,' said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer. He continued, 'As announced, CommScope entered into a definitive agreement to sell its CCS segment to Amphenol (NYSE: APH). Upon closing, CommScope will receive approximately USD $10.5 billion in cash. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals. This transformational deal unlocks equity value, returns cash to our shareholders and strengthens the remaining businesses. Amphenol is a strong buyer of the CCS assets. Our customers, and employees going with the transaction will be in very good hands. I am very excited for the future of ANS and RUCKUS as both businesses have recovered from their prior year challenges and are positioned for growth.' 'With the proceeds from the recently announced transaction, we expect to repay all existing debt, redeem our preferred equity and add modest leverage to the remaining company. We will have significant excess cash. We expect to distribute this excess cash to our common shareholders as a dividend within 60 to 90 days following the closing of the proposed transaction after taking into account all relevant factors. The exact amount and timing of the dividend will be determined by the Company after closing. As evidenced by the second quarter results in ANS and RUCKUS, we are excited about the future of the remaining company. On a twelve-month trailing basis, ANS and RUCKUS Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $300 million on Net Sales of $1.7 billion,' said Kyle Lorentzen, Chief Financial Officer. As a result of divesting the Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) business during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company has changed the name of its Networking, Intelligent Cellular & Security Solutions (NICS) segment to RUCKUS, effective as of April 1, 2025. There were no changes to the composition of the Company's operating or reportable segments, the financial information reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), or historical segment operating results as a result of this change. Second Quarter Results and Comparisons Net sales in the second quarter of 2025 increased 31.7% year-over-year to $1.39 billion due to higher net sales in all segments. Net sales increased across all regions, except the Caribbean and Latin America region and Canada, in the second quarter of 2025. Income from continuing operations of $29.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025, increased compared to the prior year period's loss from continuing operations of $(56.2) million, or $(0.34) per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $119.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, versus $8.6 million, or $0.03 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA increased 79.0% to $337.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales increased to 24.3% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 17.9% in the same prior year period.

RUCKUS - Net sales of $190.2 million increased 46.5% from the prior year period primarily driven by increased demand and an improved channel inventory position. ANS - Net sales of $322.5 million increased 65.0% from the prior year period driven by increases in Access Technologies and Broadband Networks Solutions (BNS). Cash Flow and Balance Sheet GAAP cash flow generated by operations in the second quarter of 2025 was $77.1 million. Free cash flow in the second quarter of 2025 was $64.5 million after adjusting operating cash flow for $12.6 million of additions to property, plant and equipment. The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated. Accordingly, this cash flow information includes the results of continuing and discontinued operations. The Company ended the quarter with $571.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its asset-based revolving credit facility and had availability of $419.7 million, after giving effect to borrowing base limitations and outstanding letters of credit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures CommScope management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor's understanding of our financial performance. CommScope management further believes that these financial measures are useful in assessing CommScope's operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. CommScope management also uses certain of these financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring CommScope's performance relative to that of its competitors. CommScope management believes these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate CommScope's performance and that of its competitors. However, CommScope's use of certain non-GAAP terms may vary from that of others in its industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity. A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures discussed herein to their most comparable GAAP measures is below. RemainCo Financial Measures RemainCo financial measures are the aggregate of the Access Network Solutions and RUCKUS segments. They do not include the results of the Connectivity and Cable Solutions segment. The RemainCo segments and the Connectivity and Cable Solutions segment represent the business segments as currently managed and reported by CommScope. Future results and the composition of any business divested in the future may vary and differ materially from the presentation of the RemainCo financial measures.
