Insights

Financial Analyst

Harmonic reports strong Q1 with revenue up 9%, margins expanding significantly, and return to profitability; outlook positive despite tariff concerns.

Harmonic's Q1 2025 results demonstrate substantial improvement across all key financial metrics. Revenue reached $133.1 million, a 9% year-over-year increase, with both business segments contributing to growth. The Broadband segment generated $84.9 million (7.6% growth), while the Video segment delivered $48.3 million (11.8% growth).

Particularly impressive is the company's margin expansion. Non-GAAP gross margins improved to 59.4% from 52.5% in the prior year period. This 6.9 percentage point improvement in margins directly fueled the company's profitability turnaround, with GAAP operating income swinging from a loss of $9.5 million to income of $10.1 million.

The bottom-line results underscore this transformation, with GAAP net income of $5.9 million (vs. a loss of $8.1 million) and Non-GAAP net income of $13.4 million (vs. $0.4 million). Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA surged to $21.1 million, a 415% increase from $4.1 million in Q1 2024.

Cash generation has strengthened the balance sheet considerably, with cash and equivalents at $148.7 million, up 76% from $84.3 million a year ago. The robust cash position enabled a significant share repurchase program, with approximately 3.5 million shares bought back for $36.1 million.

The company's backlog and deferred revenue of $485.1 million provides substantial revenue visibility, though it has decreased from $677.8 million in the prior year. For Q2 2025, Harmonic projects revenue between $120-135 million and has factored in approximately $3 million in tariff impacts, while expecting to remain profitable with projected Non-GAAP net income of $0-4 million.

Technology Expert

Harmonic's technology innovations drive customer wins; deploying cOS solution with 129 customers serving 33.9 million cable modems.

Beyond the financial metrics, Harmonic's technology deployment shows significant market traction. The company has commercially deployed its cOS™ solution with 129 customers, serving 33.9 million cable modems. This substantial footprint demonstrates strong product-market fit and customer adoption.

The company highlighted key innovations now in production, including the Beacon Speed Maximizer and PTP-less timing solution, both designed to enhance subscriber satisfaction while improving network reliability and reducing operating costs. These technology advancements represent important differentiators in the competitive broadband infrastructure market.

Customer wins are particularly notable, with seven new broadband customers including two US Tier 1 providers and three fiber customers (one being a Latin American Tier 1 operator). The ability to secure Tier 1 customers indicates the competitiveness of Harmonic's solutions in high-demand environments.

During the 2025 NAB Show, Harmonic showcased a range of hybrid cloud and on-premise video solutions featuring AI-powered innovations for broadcasters and service providers. The company highlighted what it calls the "industry-first playout-to-delivery" solution, suggesting continued innovation in its Video segment.

The technological developments align with the financial performance, with the Video segment showing particularly strong year-over-year revenue growth of 11.8% and margin improvement to 66.4%. The Broadband segment's margin improvement to 55.5% (from 47.5%) likely reflects the scale benefits of wider deployment of its cOS platform and associated technologies.

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced its unaudited results for the first quarter of 2025.

"Our first quarter results reflect strong execution as we exceeded expectations for Video revenue as well as gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA in both of our businesses," said Nimrod Ben-Natan, president and chief executive officer of Harmonic. "We continue to drive key wins in our Broadband business and expand market share in Video while we prioritize cost management due to a fluid macroeconomic backdrop. While there are future uncertainties from the potential impact of tariff policies, to date we have not seen any change in our customers' behavior. Considering our strong business execution, large backlog, and cumulative customer wins and market share, we remain confident in our strategy and long-term growth prospects."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or referred to herein as "reported"). However, management believes that certain Non-GAAP financial measures provide management and other users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our ongoing performance. Our management regularly uses our supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, establish operating budgets, set internal measurement targets and make operating decisions.

These Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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. The Company believes that Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Harmonic's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Harmonic's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

The Company believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and its historical and projected results of operations. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Non-GAAP measures presented here are: Gross profit, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, non-operating expenses and net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA (including those amounts as a percentage of revenue) and net income (loss) per diluted share. The presentation of Non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to Non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical Non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements provided with this press release. The Non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from our GAAP financial measures.

Our Non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:

Stock-based compensation - Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. We believe that management is limited in its ability to project the impact stock-based compensation would have on our operating results. In addition, for comparability purposes, we believe it is useful to provide a Non-GAAP financial measure that excludes stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate the comparison of our results to the results of our peer companies.

Restructuring and related charges - Harmonic from time to time incurs restructuring charges which primarily consist of employee severance, one-time termination benefits related to the reduction of its workforce, and other costs. These charges are associated with material business shifts. We exclude these items because we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing long-term business and operating results.

Non-cash interest expense related to convertible notes - We record the amortization of issuance costs as non-cash interest expense. We believe that excluding these costs provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance and liquidity, along with enhancing investors' ability to view the Company's results from management's perspective. In addition, we believe excluding these costs from the Non-GAAP measures facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to peer company operating results.

Depreciation - Depreciation expense is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as this is a non-cash item unrelated to the ordinary course of our business and not reflective of our underlying business performance.

Non-recurring advisory fees - There were non-recurring costs that we excluded from Non-GAAP results relating to professional accounting, tax and legal fees associated with strategic corporate initiatives.

Asset impairment and related charges - We exclude asset impairment and related charges due to the nature of such expenses being unusual and arising outside the ordinary course of continuing operations. These costs primarily consist of impairments of fixed assets, right-of-use assets and related leasehold improvements, and other unrecoverable facility costs due to the intended change in use of certain leased space.

Discrete tax items and tax effect of Non-GAAP adjustments - The income tax effect of Non-GAAP adjustments relates to the tax effect of the adjustments that we incorporate into Non-GAAP financial measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure of Non-GAAP net income.
