Plano, TX – Ribbon Communications Inc.
(Nasdaq: RBBN), a global provider of real time communications technology and IP optical networking solutions to many of the world’s
largest service providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure operators to modernize and protect their networks, today announced
its financial results for the third quarter of 2024.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $210 million, compared to
$203 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $193 million for the second quarter of 2024. GAAP Loss from Operations was ($1 million)
while Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA improved to $30 million, or 14% of sales, in the third quarter 2024. GAAP and Non-GAAP Gross Margins were
strong at 52% and 55%, respectively.
“I am very pleased with our financial performance in the third
quarter with overall sales growing 3.5% year over year, led by strong growth in our Cloud & Edge secure communications business.
Gross Margin exceeded expectations with a positive mix of product sales and good execution from our Professional Services team, resulting
in profitability at the high end of our guidance range,” stated Bruce McClelland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ribbon
Communications.
Mr. McClelland added, “We expect this momentum to continue into
the fourth quarter and into 2025 as we continue to ramp voice modernization programs with Verizon and multiple other carriers, execute
on new awards with U.S. Federal Defense agencies, and to grow the U.S. rural broadband segment. Our guidance for the fourth quarter projects
year-over-year sales growth of 8% at the midpoint, reflecting all of these trends along with seasonal strength in Enterprise.”

Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. All
statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this release, including without limitation, statements regarding the
Company’s projected financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024 and beyond; market share growth; increases in shareholder
value; plans and objectives for future operations, including cost reductions; the impact of the wars in Israel and Ukraine; customer
spending and engagement and momentum; and plans for future product development and manufacturing and the expected benefits therefrom,
are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “could”,
“estimates”, “expects”, “expectations”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”,
“projects” and other similar language, whether in the negative or affirmative, are intended to identify forward-looking statements,
although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current
expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate
to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are unknown and/or difficult to predict
and that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unpredictable fluctuations in quarterly revenue
and operating results; the impact of restructuring and cost-containment activities; increases in tariffs, trade restrictions or taxes
on the Company’s products; supply chain disruptions resulting from component availability and/or geopolitical instabilities and
disputes (including those related to the wars in Israel and Ukraine); the closure, on a temporary basis, of the Company’s offices
or those of the Company’s contract manufacturer in Israel as a result of the war and the impact of military call-ups of the Company’s
employees in Israel; material litigation; the impact of fluctuations in interest rates; material cybersecurity and data intrusion incidents,
including any security breaches resulting in the theft, transfer, or unauthorized disclosure of customer, employee, or Company information;
the Company’s ability to comply with applicable domestic and foreign information security and privacy laws, regulations and technology
platform rules or other obligations related to data private and security; failure to compete successfully against telecommunications
equipment and networking companies; failure to grow the Company’s customer base or generate recurring business from existing customers;
credit risks; the timing of customer purchasing decisions and the Company’s recognition of revenues; macroeconomic conditions,
including inflation; the ability to adapt to rapid technological and market changes; the ability to generate positive returns on the
Company’s research and development; the ability to protect Company intellectual property rights and obtain necessary licenses;
the ability to maintain partner, reseller, distribution and vendor support and supply relationships; the potential for defects in the
Company’s products; risks related to the terms of the Company’s credit agreement; higher risks in international operations
and markets; currency fluctuations; unanticipated averse changes in legal, regulatory or tax laws; future accounting pronouncements or
changes in the Company’s accounting policies; and/or failure or circumvention of the Company’s controls and procedures. We
therefore caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.
These factors are not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks
and uncertainties that may affect the Company's business and results from operations. Additional information regarding these and other
factors can be found in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, its Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this release speaks only as of the date
on which this release was first issued. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement publicly or otherwise,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
The Company’s management uses several different financial
measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of its business, making operating decisions,
planning and forecasting future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. The Company considers the use of
non-GAAP financial measures helpful in assessing the core performance of its continuing operations and when planning and forecasting
future periods. The Company’s annual financial plan is prepared on a non-GAAP basis and is approved by its board of directors.
In addition, budgeting and forecasting for revenue and expenses are conducted on a non-GAAP basis, and actual results on a non-GAAP
basis are assessed against the annual financial plan. The Company defines continuing operations as the ongoing results of its
business adjusted for certain expenses and credits, as described below. The Company believes that providing non-GAAP information to
investors allows them to view the Company's financial results in the way its management views them and helps investors to better
understand the Company’s core financial and operating performance and evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information
used by its management to evaluate and measure such performance.
While the Company’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures
as tools to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of the Company’s financial performance, management does not consider these
measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s presentations of these measures may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives
for, or in isolation from, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there
are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, many of the adjustments to the Company’s
financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in its financial results for the foreseeable
future.
Stock-Based Compensation
The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable
in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. The Company believes that presenting
non-GAAP operating results that exclude stock-based compensation provides investors with visibility and insight into its management’s
method of analysis and its core operating performance.
Amortization of Acquired Technology (including software licenses);
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
Amortization amounts are inconsistent in frequency and amount and
are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions. Amortization of acquired technology is reported separately within
Cost of revenue and Amortization of acquired intangible assets is reported separately within Operating expenses. These items are reported
collectively as Amortization of acquired intangible assets in the accompanying reconciliations of non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures.
The Company believes that excluding non-cash amortization of these intangible assets facilitates the comparison of its financial results
to its historical operating results and to other companies in its industry as if the acquired intangible assets had been developed internally
rather than acquired.
Litigation Costs
In connection with certain ongoing
litigation where Ribbon is the defendant (as described in Note 26 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023), the Company has incurred litigation costs beginning in 2023. Also,
on October 14, 2024, a settlement in principle was reached on one of these legal matters and the Company accrued the $5 million settlement
in the third quarter of 2024. These costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense. The Company believes that
such costs are not part of its core business or ongoing operations, are unplanned, and generally are not within its control. Accordingly,
the Company believes that excluding litigation costs related to these specific legal matters facilitates the comparison of the Company’s
financial results to its historical operating results and to other companies in its industry.
Acquisition-, Disposal- and Integration-Related
The Company considers certain acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related
costs to be unrelated to the organic continuing operations of the Company and its acquired businesses. Such costs are generally not relevant
to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. The Company excludes such acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related
costs to allow more accurate comparisons of its financial results to its historical operations and the financial results of less acquisitive
peer companies and allows management and investors to consider the ongoing operations of the business both with and without such expenses.
Restructuring and Related
The Company has recorded restructuring and related expense to streamline
operations and reduce operating costs by closing and consolidating certain facilities and reducing its worldwide workforce. The Company
believes that excluding restructuring and related expense facilitates the comparison of its financial results to its historical operating
results and to other companies in its industry, as there are no future revenue streams or other benefits associated with these costs.
Preferred Stock and Warrant Liability Mark-to-Market Adjustment
The Company recorded adjustments to the fair value of its Series A
Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in Other (expense) income, net. Both of these instruments
were issued in March 2023 in connection with the Company’s private placement and have been classified as liabilities and marked
to market each reporting period until the Series A Preferred Stock was fully redeemed on June 25, 2024. The Warrant liability remains
outstanding and will continue to be marked to market each reporting period. The Company excluded these gains and losses from the change
in the fair value of these liabilities because it believes that such gains or losses were not part of its core business or ongoing operations.
Tax Effect of Non-GAAP Adjustments
The Non-GAAP income tax provision is presented based on an estimated
tax rate applied against forecasted annual non-GAAP income. The Non-GAAP income tax provision assumes no available net operating losses
or valuation allowances for the U.S. because of reporting significant cumulative non-GAAP income over the past several years. The Company
is reporting its non-GAAP quarterly income taxes by computing an annual rate for the Company and applying that single rate (rather than
multiple rates by jurisdiction) to its consolidated quarterly results. The Company expects that this methodology will provide a consistent
rate throughout the year and allow investors to better understand the impact of income taxes on its results. Due to the methodology applied
to its estimated annual tax rate, the Company’s estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income will differ from its GAAP tax rate and from
its actual tax liabilities.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review
and assess its performance. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by excluding from income (loss) from operations: depreciation; stock-based
compensation; amortization of acquired intangible assets; certain litigation costs; acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related expense;
and restructuring and related expense. In general, the Company excludes the expenses that it considers to be non-cash and/or not a part
of its ongoing operations. The Company may exclude other items in the future that have those characteristics. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP
financial measure that is used by the investing community for comparative and valuation purposes. The Company discloses this metric to
support and facilitate dialogue with research analysts and investors. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than
the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
