SEC filingHarmonic returned to profitability in Q2 2025 with net income of $2.9 million versus a loss last year, driven by video segment growth and margin expansion, despite a slight revenue decline.
Harmonic reported revenue of $138.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, essentially flat compared to $138.7 million in the prior-year period. While appliance and integration revenue was nearly unchanged at $94.1 million, SaaS and service revenue declined slightly by $0.6 million to $44.0 million. Gross profit increased marginally to $73.8 million from $73.5 million, yielding a gross margin of 53.5%, up 60 basis points year-over-year, driven by favorable product mix in the Video segment.
The company swung to an operating profit of $3.9 million from a loss of $15.6 million in Q2 2024, primarily due to a sharp reduction in restructuring and asset impairment charges ($2.3 million combined versus $20.5 million last year). Net income was $2.9 million ($0.03 per diluted share) compared to a net loss of $12.5 million ($(0.11) per share) in the prior year.
Total assets decreased to $783.3 million at June 27, 2025 from $796.5 million at December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $123.9 million from $101.5 million, while restricted cash remained minimal. Accounts receivable improved significantly to $120.7 million from $178.0 million, reflecting better collections. Inventories rose to $71.1 million from $64.0 million. Goodwill increased to $241.7 million, primarily from a prior acquisition.
Total liabilities stood at $336.9 million, up from $331.2 million at year-end. Long-term debt (including current portion) increased to $113.3 million from $114.3 million, while other borrowings rose to $17.7 million. Stockholders' equity decreased to $446.4 million from $465.3 million, driven by share repurchases offsetting net income.
For the six months ended June 27, 2025, Harmonic generated $71.9 million in cash from operations, a substantial improvement from $4.7 million in the prior-year period, driven by better working capital management and net income. Capital expenditures were $5.7 million, resulting in free cash flow of $66.2 million. The company used $50.1 million for share repurchases and $42.5 million for debt repayments, partially offset by $40.0 million in proceeds from long-term debt. The ending cash position (including restricted) was $124.3 million, up from $101.8 million at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Management highlighted that the flat revenue was due to a $6.0 million decline in Broadband segment revenue, attributed to the timing of new technology deployments by customers, offset by a $5.3 million increase in Video segment revenue from higher appliance sales and new customer wins. The gross margin improvement was driven by favorable product mix across both segments. The sharp reduction in operating expenses was primarily due to lower restructuring and impairment charges. Management noted ongoing risks from macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical tensions, customer concentration (Comcast accounted for 39% of revenue), and supply chain disruptions. No specific forward guidance was provided for the remainder of fiscal 2025.
Segment performance: Broadband segment revenue declined 6.5% YoY to $86.9 million, with operating income of $8.6 million (operating margin of 9.9%). Video segment revenue grew 11.6% to $51.1 million, with operating income of $5.3 million (operating margin of 10.5%). The reconciliation to consolidated operating income includes $7.7 million in stock-based compensation, $0.7 million in restructuring charges, $1.6 million in lease-related asset impairment, and $0.1 million in non-recurring advisory fees.
Deferred revenue totaled $60.0 million at quarter-end, up slightly from $57.3 million at year-end. Remaining performance obligations were $504.5 million, with 51% expected to be recognized within 12 months. The company repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares for $14.0 million during the quarter, leaving $149.9 million available under the February 2025 authorization.
