SEC filingRevenue grew 17.3% YoY driven by normalized customer spending and fiber expansion, while operating loss narrowed to 5.0% from 17.0%.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, revenue increased 17.3% to $265.1 million from $226.0 million in the prior year period. The growth was driven by a return of normalized customer spending, fiber expansion, vendor consolidation, and increased demand for infrastructure upgrades. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue improved to 37.3% from 36.0%, primarily due to lower restructuring and labor costs from the completed Business Efficiency Program, partially offset by unfavorable customer and product mix. Operating loss narrowed significantly to $13.3 million (5.0% of revenue) from $38.5 million (17.0% of revenue) in Q2 2024, reflecting lower SG&A and R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue. Net loss attributable to ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. decreased to $20.5 million from $49.7 million.
Network Solutions segment revenue increased 22.5% to $219.5 million, driven by growth across all product categories: Access & Aggregation (+$23.2M), Optical Networking (+$15.1M), and Subscriber Solutions (+$1.9M). Services & Support segment revenue declined 2.6% to $45.6 million, primarily due to a decrease in installation/system integration services, partially offset by higher Optical Networking services. U.S. revenue grew 11.8% to $120.3 million, while international revenue increased 22.2% to $144.7 million, representing 54.6% of total revenue.
Management expects orders and billings to continue increasing during the remainder of 2025, driven by normalized customer spending and fiber expansion. The Business Efficiency Program was completed as of December 31, 2024, with no further costs expected. The company is evaluating the impact of the recently enacted "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" on its tax position. Liquidity is supported by $106.3 million in cash and $66.8 million of available borrowing capacity under the credit facility. The company believes it has adequate liquidity to meet obligations for at least the next twelve months, including anticipated Exit Compensation payments under the DPLTA, though it does not currently have sufficient liquidity to meet all potential Exit Compensation obligations if all minority shareholders were to tender shares.
As of June 30, 2025, ADTRAN Holdings held $106.3 million in cash and equivalents, with total debt of $190.2 million under its revolving credit facility (Wells Fargo). Shareholders' equity stood at $169.6 million. Inventory decreased to $240.1 million from $261.6 million at year-end 2024. The company had $156.5 million available under the credit facility, but covenant limitations restricted additional borrowings to $66.8 million. Deferred revenue (current and non-current) totaled $87.1 million, while remaining performance obligations (RPO) were $264.9 million, with 62.8% expected to be recognized within 12 months.
Purchase obligations totaled $192.7 million as of June 30, 2025, primarily for inventory and manufacturing commitments. Additionally, performance bonds of $16.9 million were outstanding. A significant contingent liability exists under the Domination and Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement (DPLTA): if all minority shareholders of Adtran Networks elect exit compensation, the company would owe approximately €326.8 million ($385.2 million), though the probability of a mass election within the next year is deemed remote due to ongoing appraisal proceedings in Germany extending the tender period. Annual recurring compensation under the DPLTA is about €8.5 million ($10.0 million) per year.
No common stock buybacks were authorized or executed; the company retained an authorization to purchase up to 15.3 million additional shares of Adtran Networks. Dividends remain suspended. Debt increased marginally ($0.6M net) during the period, with $24.0 million drawn and subsequently repaid. Capital expenditures on property, plant, and equipment totaled $12.1 million for the first half of 2025, down from $25.0 million in the prior-year period. The company also invested $20.4 million in developed technology intangibles.
