Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Full-year 2025 core adjusted EBITDA of $379.4 million beat the $300–$375 million guidance range, up 176% YoY.
  • Q4 core net sales of $514.5 million rose 23.9% YoY; Q4 core adjusted EBITDA of $99.1 million rose 54.8% YoY.
  • Aurora Networks full-year net sales of $1.23 billion, up 47% YoY, driven by DOCSIS 4.0 amplifier deployments with record Q4 shipments and qualification by another major operator expected to ship in 2026.
  • Ruckus Networks full-year revenue of $687 million, up 32% YoY, with full-year adjusted EBITDA of $128 million, up 210% YoY; RuckusOne deferred revenue grew 93%.
  • Year-end cash of $923 million, up 31% from prior quarter; CCS sale proceeds used to repay all existing debt and redeem preferred equity.
  • 2026 core adjusted EBITDA guided to $350–$400 million, with management expecting revenue growth in both Aurora and Ruckus.

Risks & pressure points

  • Q4 GAAP loss from continuing operations of $50.3 million, wider than the $21.0 million loss in Q4 2024.
  • Ruckus Q4 adjusted EBITDA of $20 million, down $5 million or 22% YoY, due to ~$30 million annual sales investment and higher incentive compensation.
  • Aurora legacy license sales expected to normalize in 2026, which could result in a decline in EBITDA; legacy business expected to decline over time as customers delay DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades.
  • Stranded costs from the CCS sale will be an EBITDA drag in 2026 (minimal by 2027).
  • Top three customers represent about 40%–45% of the business, with Aurora exhibiting high customer concentration.
  • A ~$25 million favorable E&O benefit in 2025 is not expected to repeat, weighing on 2026 margins.
