Extreme Networks Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Insights
The second quarter financial results of Extreme Networks, Inc. reflect a mixed financial performance, with a noteworthy 37.4% year-over-year growth in SaaS ARR, indicating a strong shift towards a recurring revenue model, which is a positive sign for sustainability and predictability of future earnings. However, the 6.9% decline in total revenue compared to the previous year and a decrease in net income from $17.9 million to $4.0 million suggest potential challenges in the company's core business segments.
Investors should consider the improved gross margins, from 57.1% to 61.9% GAAP and 58.5% to 62.5% non-GAAP, which could indicate better cost management or a favorable product mix. The company's liquidity position remains stable with a net cash increase of $85.9 million year-over-year and the share repurchase program demonstrates management's confidence in the company's valuation. Nonetheless, lower inventory purchases by distributors and partners may raise concerns about near-term demand and could impact future revenue recognition.
Extreme Networks' strategic focus on integrating AI, security and analytics into a single platform is a significant move to differentiate itself in a competitive networking industry. The introduction of Wi-Fi 7 access points and 4000 Series Universal Switches is an innovative step that aligns with the increasing demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency networking solutions. This product development strategy could capture more market share, especially in the highly distributed enterprise segment.
The company's expansion in the APAC region and stabilization in EMEA indicate a strategic geographical diversification, which could mitigate risks associated with regional economic fluctuations. However, the exit from the COVID-induced supply chain constraints and the expected normalization of revenue and earnings in the fourth quarter suggest that the company might be transitioning from a recovery phase to a growth phase, which could be a pivotal point for investors to watch.
The adoption of Zero Trust security postures and the integration of AIOps and machine learning capabilities into networking solutions are becoming increasingly important in the technology industry. Extreme Networks' focus on these areas, as well as the launch of ExtremeCloud™ Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), positions the company well within the trend towards more secure, intelligent network infrastructures. The company's collaboration with partners such as Retail Systems Research (RSR) and its involvement in high-profile projects like the LIVVO Hotel Group and LG Energy Solution's EV battery factory, showcase its ability to deliver tailored networking solutions that meet the evolving needs of diverse industries.
Despite this, the company's operating margin contraction from 7.4% to 3.5% GAAP and a slight decrease in non-GAAP operating margin could raise concerns about operational efficiency. These figures will be important for stakeholders to monitor in subsequent quarters to assess whether this trend is temporary or indicative of a broader issue.
Financial Results In-line With Previously Revised Second Quarter Outlook
"The integration of AI, security and analytics into a single platform is a key differentiator for Extreme and helped drive
"The networking industry, like much of IT, is exiting the final stage of the COVID-induced era of supply chain constraints, which is still impacting our business. As a result, our distributors and partners have lowered inventory purchases, which we expect to accelerate in the third quarter. We expect to emerge in the fourth quarter at a more normalized level of revenue and earnings. Our bookings trends and funnel of new opportunities are a better reflection of customer demand. We’re seeing stabilization across EMEA and growth in APAC. And, we remain focused on innovation with this week’s introduction of new Wi-Fi 7 access points and 4000 Series Universal Switches, which help highly distributed enterprise organizations improve network connectivity, security and application performance. These trends, and our expanded go to market opportunities, give us confidence that we are positioned for a return to meaningful growth in FY25," concluded Meyercord.
Kevin Rhodes, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Despite lower revenue in the second quarter, we improved our gross margins and optimized our operating expenses to maintain a healthy operating margin profile during the quarter. In the third quarter, we expect higher sell-through than sell-in, which will have a more significant impact on our operating results. As a result, we plan to take cost actions to drive a recovery in EPS and cash flow. Heading into the fourth quarter, we are expecting improved sequential revenue growth based on our funnel and the seasonality of our business, led by the Education vertical. This will position us to deliver improved profitability and cash flow in FY25."

Extreme uses the non-GAAP free cash flow metric as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow represents GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Extreme considers free cash flow to be useful information for management and investors regarding the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property, plant and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Extreme’s business, make strategic acquisitions, and strengthen the balance sheet. A limitation of the utility of this non-GAAP free cash flow metric as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company's cash balance for the period. The following table shows non-GAAP free cash flow calculation (in millions):

SaaS ARR: Extreme uses SaaS annual recurring revenue (“SaaS ARR”) to identify the annual recurring revenue of XIQ and other subscription revenue, based on the annualized value of quarterly subscription revenue and term-based licenses. We believe that SaaS ARR is an important metric because it is driven by our ability to acquire new customers and to maintain and expand our relationships with existing customers. SaaS ARR should be viewed independently of revenue or deferred revenue that are accounted for under
Gross Debt: Gross debt is defined as long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt as shown on the balance sheet plus unamortized debt issuance costs, if any.
Net Cash (Debt) is defined as cash minus gross debt, as shown in the table below (in millions):

No reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for Extreme’s Fiscal Q4’24 non-GAAP gross margin target and Fiscal Q4’24 non-GAAP operating margin target are included in this press release because, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the excluded information, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Extreme is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.

Extreme Networks, Inc.
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included with this press release.
Non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not in accordance with or alternative measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Extreme’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Extreme’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Extreme believes these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, enhance investors' and management's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance stockholder value. In addition, because Extreme has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting.
For its internal planning process, and as discussed further below, Extreme's management uses financial statements that do not include share-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, amortization of intangibles, restructuring charges, system transition costs, litigation charges and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. Extreme’s management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company's financial results.
As described above, Extreme excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable.
Share-based compensation. Consists of associated expenses for stock options, restricted stock awards and the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Extreme excludes share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing cash requirement related to its operating results. Extreme expects to incur share-based compensation expenses in future periods.
Acquisition and integration costs. Acquisition and integration costs consist of specified compensation charges, software charges, and legal and professional fees related to the acquisition of Ipanema. Extreme excludes these expenses since they result from an event that is outside the ordinary course of continuing operations.
Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles includes the monthly amortization expense of intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and order backlog. The amortization of the developed technology and order backlog are recorded in cost of goods sold, while the amortization for the other intangibles is recorded in operating expenses. Extreme excludes these expenses since they result from an intangible asset and for which the period expense does not impact the operations of the business and are non-cash in nature.
Restructuring charges. Restructuring charges consist of severance costs for employees, asset disposal costs and other charges related to excess facilities that do not provide economic benefit to our future operations. Extreme excludes restructuring expenses since they result from events that occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations.
System transition costs. System transition costs consist of costs related to direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our multi-phase transition of our customer relationship management solution and our configure, price, quote solution. Extreme excludes these costs because we believe that these costs do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amount and frequency making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance.
Litigation charges. Litigation charges consist of estimated settlement and related legal expenses for a non-recurring pending litigation.
Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. We calculate our non-GAAP provision for income taxes in accordance with the SEC guidance on non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation. We have assumed our
The non-GAAP provision for income taxes has typically been and is currently higher than the GAAP provision given the Company has a valuation allowance against its US and a portion of its Irish deferred tax assets due to historical losses. Once these valuation allowances are released, the non-GAAP and the GAAP provision for income taxes will be more closely aligned.
Over the next year, our cash taxes will be driven by US federal and state taxes and the tax expense of our foreign subsidiaries, which amounts have not historically been significant, with the exception of the Company’s Indian subsidiary which performs research and development activities, as well as the Company’s Irish trading subsidiaries.
