ANDOVER, Mass., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Casa Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CASA), a leading provider of cloud-native software and physical broadband technology solutions for wireless, cable, and fixed networks, today announced that the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer will be retiring, and reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company announced that Jerry Guo will be retiring as CEO and President effective March 17, 2023. He will remain as an active member of the Casa Systems’ Board of Directors. Mr. Guo founded the Company in 2003 and has been instrumental in directing the Company’s technology vision, global operations, and growth. The Board has retained an executive search firm to identify Mr. Guo’s successor. Edward Durkin, the Company’s CFO, will serve as Interim CEO until the Company’s new CEO is hired, with advisory assistance to be received from Jerry, and with functional support across all other disciplines from the Casa senior management team.
“On behalf of the Board, the management team, and employees, I would like to thank Jerry for his leadership and dedicated years of service to Casa Systems since founding the Company 20 years ago in 2003,” said Bruce Evans, Chairman of the Board. “Jerry has worked tirelessly to build Casa Systems into a leading global provider of cloud-native and broadband technology solutions while constructing the solid foundation that will support Casa Systems multi-year transformation. As Jerry departs from his daily operational and executive duties, we look forward to Jerry's continued leadership as an active member of our Board, and wish him much happiness in his retirement. We are also pleased to announce the appointment of Scott Bruckner to the newly expanded Board of Directors. Scott previously served as Casa Systems Chief Financial Officer, has a deep understanding of the Company’s business, strategy, major customers and ecosystem partners, and also brings a wealth of domain experience and expertise to the expanded Casa Board.
Mr. Evans continued, “As we move forward, we will be focused on delivering consistent, annual top line revenue growth, with improved gross and net margins. We believe 2023 will be an important first year of this new era for Casa Systems as we continue to deliver our innovative solutions to market, focus deeply on the needs of our global customers, prioritize a return to growth and profitability, and address our Term Loan B debt facility before its contractual maturity in late December 2023.”
“It is with a heavy heart that I will be saying goodbye to daily interactions with my colleagues at Casa Systems, my comrades-in-arms, in good times and tough times. It has been a privilege to have worked with my co-founders and co-workers over the last 20 years. I want to thank my tremendously talented colleagues for their dedication, ingenuity, and perseverance. I have strong confidence that the market-leading Casa technologies and solutions related to cloud-native software and innovative hardware which we have built will help transform the telecom industry like we have envisioned. I am excited about the future of Casa Systems, and look forward to assisting the Company in this important next chapter of Casa’s transformation,” said Mr. Guo.
With respect to fourth quarter and 2022 financial results, the Company announced the following:
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial & Operational Highlights
- Revenue of
$84.4 million - GAAP net income of
$1.2 million - Non-GAAP net income of
$5.3 million - GAAP net income per fully diluted share of
$0.01 - Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted share of
$0.05 - Net Adjusted EBITDA of
$5.2 million - Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of
$129.4 million at quarter end
Fiscal Year 2022 Financial & Operational Highlights
- Revenue of
$286.5 million - GAAP net loss of
$(79.2) million - Operating cash burn for the year of
$(8.6) million - Non-GAAP net loss of
$(65.1) million - GAAP net loss per fully diluted share of
$(0.86) - Non-GAAP net loss per fully diluted share of
$(0.71) - Adjusted EBITDA of
$(41.8) million - 2022 results include charge to cost of revenue of
$12.8 million for a customer warranty settlement as previously disclosed in Q3 2022 - Net Adjusted EBITDA of
$(29.0) million
Mr. Durkin commented, “Casa ended 2022 with strong Q4 revenue results and a return to GAAP net income and positive Net Adjusted EBITDA results. I am pleased that Casa exceeded the high end of our preliminary revenue guidance provided in late January 2023, which results were primarily driven by a strong quarter for Cable revenues as we closed significant expansion deals with major cable MSO's in Europe and APAC. We also experienced continued improvement in the supply chain for our fixed wireless and fiber extension products during Q4."
Mr. Durkin continued, “Looking forward, 2023 will be a critical year for Casa Systems as we continue to bring our innovative solutions to market while focusing on a return to growth, profitability and cash-and-capital efficient operating results. Our recent success at Mobile World Congress highlighted the positive momentum in our innovative cloud-native 5G Core and MEC solutions, where several of our key partners made announcements regarding their work with Casa. Our truly cloud-native 5G Core and MEC solutions are recognized by many customers, prospects and partners as very efficient and highly scalable solutions which are optimized for next-generation cloud computing requirements, providing us great confidence that we will be able to achieve our future Cloud growth goals in 2023 and beyond. In addition, we were also awarded a large VCCAP deal late in Q4 2022 with a major European cable MSO with delivery to occur later in 2023, and new business with a US-based CSP for one of our new access device solutions, with product shipments related to this new access device award planned to occur in the second half of 2023 as well.
Mr. Durkin added, “Given this recent sales success and the improved visibility we have into our business as a result of our strong backlog entering 2023, our balance sheet deferred revenue and our strong sales pipeline starting the year, we are re-establishing annual revenue and Net Adjusted EBITDA guidance. For 2023 we expect Casa to return to growth and profitability. We believe revenues for the year will be somewhat back-end weighted due to several factors, including the timing of backlog shipments, supply chain considerations, anticipated timing of the closing of deals in our sales pipeline, revenue recognition related to deferred revenue on the balance sheet, as well as the shipment of our 4G/5G enterprise small cell radios in the second half of 2023, pursuant to closed supply contracts now in place.”
“Finally, I am pleased to report we have engaged J.P. Morgan to lead Casa’s efforts to extend our debt maturity profile prior to the contractual maturity of our Term Loan B facility which now matures in December 2023,” concluded Mr. Durkin.
Customer Dispute Successful Resolution
As previously disclosed, on July 21, 2022, Casa Systems received written notification from a significant customer of one of its international subsidiaries, of alleged costs incurred and expected to be incurred by that customer with respect to an ongoing warranty matter relating to field replacements of failed units for one particular product. The failure was attributable to an unauthorized part substitution in 2019 by a supplier to the subsidiary. This customer was seeking up to
Term Loan B Refinancing
Casa Systems has retained J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“J.P. Morgan”) to assist the Company in analyzing and evaluating potential alternatives for our Term Loan B facility maturity.
2023 Financial Outlook and Current Guidance
For the fiscal year 2023, the Company currently expects:
- Revenue between
$300 million and$325 million - Positive Net Adjusted EBITDA for the year
Recent Verbal Notification from Major Cable Customer
Casa Systems was recently notified by a major North American cable customer that the Company will not currently be receiving orders from this large customer related to their cable broadband infrastructure upgrade project, which the Company had anticipated receiving in the second half of 2023. This recent development has been reflected in the foregoing 2023 financial guidance provided by the Company.
No Exposure To Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) Failure
The Company has no cash exposure to the recent Silicon Valley Bank failure, as the Company had no cash deposits with SVB. The Company uses Bank of America for the vast majority of its banking requirements, including cash management.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release, including statements regarding the projected results of operations and financial position of Casa Systems, Inc. (“Casa Systems” or "Casa" or the “Company” or “we”), including financial targets, business strategy, and plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “are optimistic”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “project”, “target”, “should”, “will”, “would”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. We have based these forward-looking statements on our estimates and assumptions of our financial results and our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs as of the date of this press release. A number of important risk factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described, implied or projected in these forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation: (1) our ability to fulfill our customers’ orders due to supply chain delays, access to key commodities or technologies or events that impact our manufacturers or their suppliers, including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) any failure by us to successfully anticipate technological shifts, market needs and opportunities, and develop new products and product enhancements that meet those technological shifts, needs and opportunities; (3) the concentration of a substantial portion of our revenue in certain customers; (4) fluctuations in our revenue due to timing of large orders and seasonality; (5) the length and lack of predictability of our sales cycle; (6) any difficulties we may face in expanding our platform into the wireless market; (7) any failure to maintain the synergies we have realized from our acquisition of NetComm; (8) increases or decreases in our expenses caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; (9) our ability to effectively transition our chief executive officer role and (10) other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are on file with the SEC and available in the investor relations section of our website at http://investors.casa-systems.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we are presenting the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and the related earnings conference call: non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, net adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. We define non-GAAP net income as net (loss) income as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets, which are non-cash charges; adjustments to the tax provision for the CARES Act; and the tax effect on these excluded items. We believe that excluding amortization expense of acquired intangible assets results in more useful disclosure to investors and others as it is a significant non-cash charge related to an event that is generally infrequent based on our historical activities. We further note that while amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the measures, the revenue of the acquired company is reflected in the measures and the acquired assets contribute to revenue generation. The tax effect of the excluded items was calculated based on specific calculations of each item’s effect on the tax provision. We believe that excluding these discrete tax benefits from our effective income tax rate results in more useful disclosure to investors and others regarding income tax effects of excluded items as these amounts may vary from period to period independent of the operating performance of our business. We define non-GAAP diluted net income per share as diluted net (loss) income per share reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of items that we exclude in calculating non-GAAP net income. We have presented non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing our business. The presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share also allows our management and board of directors to make additional comparisons of our results of operations to other companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as our net (loss) income, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense; other income (expense), net; depreciation and amortization expense; and our (benefit from) provision for income taxes. We have presented adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that, by excluding the impact of these expenses, adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance.
Net Adjusted EBITDA. We define net adjusted EBITDA as our net (loss) income, excluding the impact of items that we exclude in calculating adjusted EBITDA; and our warranty settlement provision, as warranty provisions of this significance have not and are not expected to impact our results on a recurring basis. Management and the board of directors believe that, by excluding the impact of this expense, net adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance.
Free cash flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that, after purchases of property, equipment and software licenses, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions and strengthening our balance sheet.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and trends and to make planning decisions. We believe that each of these non-GAAP financial measures helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculations of each non-GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, we believe that these financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.
Our non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures rather than the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- each of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets because they have recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring non-cash expense for our business;
- adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA exclude depreciation and amortization expense, and although this is a non-cash expense, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;
- adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest on our debt or the cash received from our interest-bearing financial assets, both of which impact the cash available to us;
- adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA do not reflect foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in other income (expense), net;
- adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA do not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;
- net adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the estimated warranty settlement provision which is expected to reduce cash available to us;
- free cash flow may not represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since we may have other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure;
- free cash flow may not represent the total increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents for any given period because it excludes cash provided by or used for other investing and financing activities; and
- other companies, including companies in our industry, may not use or report non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, net adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow, or may calculate such non-GAAP financial measures in a different manner than we do, or may use other non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as comparative measures.
For the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliation of Selected GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” We are not able to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP Net Adjusted EBITDA guidance for future periods to net income (loss), the comparable GAAP measure, because certain items that are excluded from non-GAAP Net Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control.
