Huntsville, Alabama (United States of America). July 16, 2025 (CT)

 

During the preparation of the report for the second quarter 2025 of ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. (“ADTRAN Holdings” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ADTN; FSE: QH9), the Company determined today that the Company’s preliminary U.S. GAAP revenue for the second quarter of 2025 deviates and is above the prior guidance range.

The deviation from guidance relating to revenue resulted from improved market conditions during the second quarter of 2025 and growing customer demand for our products and services. The preliminary numbers were as follows:

Preliminary U.S. GAAP revenue was $262.5 million to $267.5 million and 0% to 2% above the upper end of the prior guidance range of $247.5 million to $262.5 million.

Business conditions continued to improve during the second quarter 2025, allowing revenue to exceed the upper end of the prior guidance.

The Company will release its final financial results for the second quarter 2025 after the U.S. market close on Monday, August 4, 2025 (Central Time), or before the market opening on Tuesday, August 5, 2025 (Central European Summer Time), respectively, at https://investors.adtran.com/.
