“During the third quarter, we continued to make progress across our Vistance Networks business, supported by ongoing DOCSIS 4.0 deployments and adoption of our next-generation intelligent amplifiers. While memory chip pressures and customer deployment timing continue to impact near-term performance, we remain confident in the long-term demand for our products and opportunities to expand our portfolio. We are also pleased with the significant value we have returned to shareholders following the divestitures of our CCS and RUCKUS businesses. Including our recently announced $1.50 per share special distribution, we will have distributed $16.50 per share in 2026. As of October 30, 2026, we repurchased $225 million of stock under our existing stock repurchase programs. With a strong, debt-free balance sheet, we are well positioned to continue investing in our business and creating additional value,” said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Aurora Networks delivered $320 million of revenue and $57 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter. This was generally aligned with our expectations as memory chip pricing and stranded costs were more than offset by a lower variable compensation. Looking ahead, we are revising our full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $180 million to $200 million, primarily resulting from customer demand being pushed out into 2027. We remain confident in the underlying demand for our products and are focused on managing costs, maintaining financial flexibility and positioning the business to capitalize on longer-term network upgrade opportunities," said Kyle Lorentzen, Chief Financial Officer.

Through October 30th, the Company has utilized $225 million of the authorization to buy back 28.9 million shares or approximately 13% of the outstanding shares at the end of the second quarter, inclusive of shares that vested with the Ruckus transaction in the third quarter.

NM – Not meaningful

(1) Reflects the results of Aurora, our reportable segment, which represent substantially all of our net sales and exclude general corporate costs that were previously allocated to the divested RUCKUS and CCS segments because they were not directly attributable to the divested segments.

(2) Includes certain revenues reflected within continuing operations related to products associated with businesses affected by prior divestiture transactions. Such amounts continue to be reported within continuing operations based on the terms of the underlying transactions.

(3) Primarily reflects general corporate costs that were previously allocated to the divested RUCKUS and CCS segments. These indirect expenses have been classified as continuing operations because they were not directly attributable to the divested segments. The costs previously allocated to the CCS segment were reallocated to our remaining segments and partially offset by income under the Amphenol TSA beginning in the first quarter of 2026. Beginning in the third quarter of 2026, the costs previously allocated to the RUCKUS segment were reallocated to our remaining segment and partially offset by income under the Belden TSA.

Net Sales, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

  • Aurora net sales of $319.8 million decreased 5.3% compared with the same prior year period driven by a decrease in the legacy business, partially offset by an increase in the Access Technologies business.
  • Aurora orders increased 41% compared with the same prior year period, while backlog totaled $410 million, up 3% compared with the same prior year period.
  • GAAP cash flow used in operations in the third quarter of 2026 was $57.5 million.
  • Free cash flow used in the third quarter of 2026 was $57.7 million after adjusting operating cash flow for $0.2 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 $683.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.
  • As of September 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its asset-based revolving credit facility and had availability of $158.9 million, after taking into account the borrowing base limitations and outstanding letters of credit. The Company ended the quarter with total liquidity of approximately $842.0 million.

Stock Repurchase Plan

In addition, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The $100 million repurchase authorization is in addition to the $250 million in aggregate repurchase authorizations that were previously announced by the Company. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manners as determined by the Company, including through repurchase plans complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The method, timing and amount of any repurchases made under the share repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including capital and liquidity requirements, market conditions and alternative uses for cash. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and the program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. Management further believes that these financial measures are useful in assessing Vistance Networks’ operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. Management also uses certain of these financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring Vistance Networks’ performance relative to that of its competitors. Management believes these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate Vistance Networks’ performance and that of its competitors. However, Vistance Networks’ 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.

This list of indicative terms and phrases is not intended to be all-inclusive.

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, including, without limitation, our dependence on customers’ capital spending on data, communication and entertainment equipment, which could be negatively impacted by a regional or global economic downturn, among other factors; the potential impact of higher than normal inflation; concentration of sales among a limited number of customers; risks associated with our sales through channel partners; changes to the regulatory environment in which we and our customers operate; changes in technology; industry competition and the ability to retain customers through product innovation, introduction, and marketing; changes in cost and availability of key components, including memory chips, and the potential effect on customer pricing and timing of delivery of products to customers; risks related to our ability to implement price increases on our products and services; risks associated with our dependence on a limited number of key suppliers for certain components; risks related to the successful execution of our initiatives related to stranded costs reductions; potential difficulties in realigning manufacturing capacity and capabilities between our manufacturing facility and facilities of our contract manufacturers that may affect our ability to meet customer demands for products; possible future restructuring actions; the risk that our manufacturing operations, including our contract manufacturers on which we rely, encounter capacity, production, quality, financial or other difficulties causing difficulty in meeting customer demands; our ability to access available credit or otherwise obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all; our ability to generate cash to service any future indebtedness; our ability to fully realize anticipated benefits from prior or future divestitures, acquisitions or equity investments; possible future additional impairment charges for fixed or intangible assets, including goodwill; our ability to attract and retain qualified key employees; labor unrest; product quality or performance issues, including those associated with our suppliers or contract manufacturers, and associated warranty claims; our ability to maintain effective management information technology systems and to successfully implement major systems initiatives; cyber security incidents, including data security breaches, ransomware or computer viruses; the use of open standards; the long-term impact of climate change; significant international operations exposing us to economic risks like variability in foreign exchange rates and inflation, as well as political, geopolitical and other risks, including the impact of wars, regional conflicts and terrorism; our ability to comply with governmental anti-corruption laws and regulations worldwide; the impact of export and import controls and sanctions worldwide on our supply chain and ability to compete in international markets; changes in the laws and policies in the U.S. affecting trade, including the risk and uncertainty related to tariffs or potential trade wars and potential changes to laws and policies, that may impact our products and costs; the costs of protecting or defending intellectual property; costs and challenges of compliance with domestic and foreign social and environmental laws; the impact of litigation and similar regulatory proceedings in which we are involved or may become involved, including the costs of such litigation; the scope, duration and impact of disease outbreaks and pandemics, such as COVID-19, on our business, including employees, sites, operations, customers, supply chain logistics and the global economy; our stock price volatility; income tax rate variability and ability to recover amounts recorded as deferred tax assets; and other factors beyond our control.

These and other factors are discussed in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and may be updated from time to time in our annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(4) Primarily reflects general corporate costs that were previously allocated to the divested RUCKUS and CCS segments. These indirect expenses have been classified as continuing operations because they were not directly attributable to the divested segments. The costs previously allocated to the CCS segment were reallocated to our remaining segments and partially offset by income under the Amphenol transition service agreement (TSA) beginning in the first quarter of 2026. Beginning in the third quarter of 2026, the costs previously allocated to the RUCKUS segment were reallocated to our remaining segment and partially offset by income under the Belden TSA.
