Earnings improve at Extreme Networks (EXTR) as Q3 2026 revenue grows
Extreme Networks, Inc. reported solid improvement for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Total net revenues reached $316,874 thousand, up from $284,505 thousand a year earlier, driven by both product and subscription and support sales. EMEA and APAC delivered strong growth, while Americas revenue declined, reflecting a shift in geographic mix.
Net income rose to $10,590 thousand, compared with $3,458 thousand in the prior-year quarter, and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.08. Gross profit expanded as revenue grew faster than cost of revenues, though operating expenses also increased, largely from higher sales and marketing and share-based compensation.
For the nine months, revenues were $945,044 thousand and net income was $24,077 thousand, a marked improvement from near break-even a year earlier. The company generated $50,333 thousand of cash from operating activities, down from $70,092 thousand, while ending the period with $210,113 thousand in cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $197,294 thousand. Extreme continued returning capital to shareholders, repurchasing 3,534,831 shares for $55,121 thousand under a $200,000 thousand authorization.
Positive
- Stronger top-line and bottom-line performance: Quarterly net revenues rose to $316,874 thousand and net income increased to $10,590 thousand, with nine‑month net income improving to $24,077 thousand from near break-even a year earlier.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Revenue and profitability improved meaningfully, but cash flow softened and leverage ticked up.
Extreme Networks delivered double-digit revenue growth, with quarterly net revenues of $316,874 thousand versus the prior year, and nine‑month revenues of $945,044 thousand. Net income improved to $10,590 thousand for the quarter and $24,077 thousand year to date, reflecting higher gross profit and operating leverage.
Subscription and support remain an important component, contributing $117,529 thousand this quarter and helping build a deferred revenue base. Remaining performance obligations were $647.1 million, providing visibility into future revenue, while customer and geographic concentration—such as Netherlands revenue and reliance on key distributors—remains a structural consideration.
On the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents of $210,113 thousand sit against total debt of $197,294 thousand. Operating cash flow declined to $50,333 thousand for the nine months, partly due to working capital movements. Management is actively using capital returns: share repurchases totaled $55,121 thousand, including a $50,000 thousand accelerated share repurchase, which reduces share count but increases reliance on consistent cash generation.

EXTREME NETWORKS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Extreme Networks, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Extreme” or the “Company”), is a leader in providing software-driven networking solutions for enterprise customers. The Company conducts its sales and marketing activities on a worldwide basis through distributors, resellers, and the Company’s field sales organization. Extreme was incorporated in California in 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Extreme included herein have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and the financial condition of Extreme at March 31, 2026. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal 2026 or any future periods.
Fiscal Year
The Company uses a fiscal calendar year ending on June 30. All references herein to “fiscal 2026” represent the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. All references herein to “fiscal 2025” represent the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Extreme and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company predominantly uses the United States Dollar as its functional currency. The functional currency for certain of its foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. For those subsidiaries that operate in a local functional currency environment, all assets and liabilities are translated to United States Dollars at current month end rates of exchange and revenues, and expenses are translated using the monthly average rate.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recently adopted accounting standards which would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures.
8
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures. The standard introduces a new disclosure principle for interim reporting to help entities determine whether disclosures not specified in Topic 270 should be provided in interim periods. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. This ASU amends certain aspects of existing guidance to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of the Company’s risk management activities. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets to address challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-05 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve disclosures about public business entities’ expenses and to provide more detailed information around the types of expenses included in commonly presented expense captions. Additionally, in January 2025 the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied on a prospective basis or on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance income tax disclosures primarily through changes in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. The Company will be adopting ASU 2023-09 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales of its networking equipment, with the remaining revenues generated from sales of subscription and support, which primarily includes software subscriptions delivered as software as a service (“SaaS”) and additional revenues from maintenance contracts, professional services and training for its products. The Company sells its products, SaaS and maintenance contracts to customers and partners in
Revenue Recognition
Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefits provided. Substantially all of the Company’s product sales revenues are recognized at a point in time. Substantially all of the Company’s subscription and support revenues are recognized over time. For revenues recognized over time, the Company primarily uses an input measure, days elapsed, to measure progress.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $
Contract Balances. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Services provided under renewable SaaS subscription and support arrangements of the Company are billed in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which are billed fully at the inception of contract. The Company generally receives payments from its customers in advance of services being provided, resulting in deferred revenues. These liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $

To facilitate sales of its products in the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies its resellers and end-user customers with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the customer harmless against losses arising from intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. It is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material impact on its operating results or financial position.
Concentrations
The Company may be subject to concentration of credit risk as a result of certain financial instruments consisting of accounts receivable. See Note 3, Revenues, for the Company’s accounts receivable concentration. The Company does not invest an amount exceeding

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 Assets and Liabilities:
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The Company states accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment.
Level 2 Assets and Liabilities:
The Company’s level 2 assets consist of certificates of deposit and derivative instruments. Certificates of deposit do not have regular market pricing and are considered Level 2. The fair value of derivative instruments under the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and zero-cost collar contracts are estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs, which is considered Level 2.
As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company had investment in certificates of deposit of $
13
balance sheets. The Company considers these cash equivalents to be available-for-sale and, as of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, their fair value approximated their amortized cost.
As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts that were not designated as hedging instruments with a total notional principal amount of $
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments with a total notional principal amount of $
The fair value of borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7) is estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which is considered Level 2. Since the interest rate is variable in the Amended Credit Agreement, the fair value approximates the face amount of the Company’s indebtedness of $
Level 3 Assets and Liabilities:
Certain of the Company’s assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis if impairment is indicated.
As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company did

On June 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as issuing lenders, the financial institutions or entities party thereto as lenders, and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated August 9, 2019, by and among the Company, as borrower, several banks and other financial institutions as Lenders, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Silicon Valley Bank, as an Issuing Lender, and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for i) a $
Borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest, and at the Company’s election, the initial term loan may be made as either a base rate loan or a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) loan. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from

Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. All SOFR loans are subject to a floor of
The 2023 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2023 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of its property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The 2023 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.
On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Number One to the 2023 Credit Agreement (the 2023 Credit Agreement as amended by that certain Amendment Number One, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company modified the definition of the consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of evaluating compliance with financial covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The amended definition of consolidated EBITDA modifies the amount and type of add-backs that are allowable to better align with the Company’s operations and activities. Further, the Amended Credit Agreement provided a waiver for the Company’s compliance with the consolidated interest charge coverage ratio for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the modified terms and financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness or credit agreement. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations was $

Purchase Commitments
The Company currently has arrangements with contract manufacturers and suppliers for the manufacture of its products. Those arrangements allow the contract manufacturers to procure long lead-time component inventory based upon a rolling production forecast provided by the Company. The Company is obligated to purchase long lead-time component inventory that its contract manufacturer procures in accordance with the forecast, unless the Company gives notice of order cancellation outside of applicable component lead-times. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had commitments to purchase $
Legal Proceedings
The Company may from time to time be party to litigation arising in the course of its business, including, without limitation, allegations relating to commercial transactions, business relationships, or intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Litigation in general, and intellectual property litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not record a loss accrual. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of any prior accrual) is at least reasonably possible and material, then the Company would disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made, or disclose that an estimate cannot be made. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or a reasonable possibility, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Even if a loss is reasonably possible, the Company may not be able to estimate a range of possible loss, particularly where (i) the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories or a large number of parties. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including the amount of any possible loss, fine or penalty. However, an adverse resolution of one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

Mala Technologies Ltd. v. Extreme Networks GmbH, Extreme Networks Ireland Ops Ltd., and Extreme Networks, Inc.
On April 15, 2021, Mala Technologies Ltd. (“Mala”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company and its Irish and German subsidiaries in the District Court in Dusseldorf, Germany. The lawsuit alleges indirect infringement of the German portion of a patent (“EP ‘498”) based on the offer and sale in Germany of certain network switches equipped with the ExtremeXOS operating system. Mala is seeking injunctive relief, accounting, and an unspecified declaration of liability for damages and costs of the lawsuit. On December 20, 2022, the trial court ruled that the Company did not infringe the EP ‘498 patent and dismissed Mala’s complaint entirely. Mala has filed an appeal. On December 9, 2024, the Higher Regional Court stayed the matter until the nullity action has been finally decided.
The Company filed a nullity complaint against EP ‘498 with the German Federal Patent Court on September 24, 2021. The German Federal Patent Court issued a decision finding that the patent was invalid on November 20, 2024. Mala appealed the decision on March 3, 2025, and filed its Grounds of Appeal on June 5, 2025. The Company filed its response to the Grounds of Appeal on October 6, 2025. A hearing on the appeal is scheduled for February 9, 2027.
Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security Funds v. Extreme Networks, Inc., et al.
On August 13, 2024, a putative securities class action (the “Class Action”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security Funds v. Extreme Networks, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:24-cv-05102-TLT, naming the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers as defendants. The lawsuit is purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of Extreme Networks securities between July 27, 2022 and January 30, 2024 (the “Class Period”). The complaint alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly false and misleading statements about the Company’s business and prospects during the Class Period. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. On December 30, 2024, the Court selected Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System, Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System, Oakland County Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association, Oakland County Employees’ Retirement System as the lead plaintiffs. The Company’s Motion to Dismiss was granted on August 15, 2025, but the plaintiffs were granted leave to file a second amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on September 9, 2025. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on October 3, 2025. Following a hearing on March 3, 2026, the Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss.
On February 27, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Turner v. Brown et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-02101. On March 6, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Hemani v. Meyercord et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-02318-AGT. On March 25, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina captioned Miller v. Meyercord et al., Case No. 5:25-cv-00161. Each of these shareholder derivative cases names current and former officers, directors, and employees of the Company as defendants, and seeks recovery on behalf of the Company based on substantially the same allegations as the Class Action. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in the two California shareholder derivative cases on December 1, 2025. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on December 19, 2025, and a hearing on the motion to dismiss took place on March 31, 2026. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on April 28, 2026. The North Carolina case remains stayed pending a final decision on the motion to dismiss in the California cases.
Indemnification Obligations
Subject to certain limitations, the Company may be obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers, and employees. These obligations arise under the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and applicable law. The obligation to indemnify, where applicable, generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse, and in certain circumstances the Company has paid or reimbursed, the individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possible damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with certain legal matters. The Company also procures Directors and Officers liability insurance to help cover its defense and/or indemnification costs, although its ability to recover such costs through insurance is uncertain. While it is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount that could be owed under these governing documents and agreements due to the Company’s limited history with prior indemnification claims, indemnification (including defense) costs could, in the future, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Stock Awards
Stock awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan on terms approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Stock awards generally provide for the issuance of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) including performance-condition or market-condition RSUs which vest over a fixed period of time or based upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria or market conditions. The Company recognizes compensation expense on the stock awards over the vesting period based on the awards’ fair value as of the date of grant. The Company does not estimate forfeitures, but accounts for them as incurred.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency risk that may or may not be designated as hedging instruments. The Company’s objective for holding derivatives is to use the most effective methods to minimize the impact of these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward or zero-cost collar contracts to attempt to mitigate the effect of gains and losses generated by foreign currency transactions related to certain forecasted operating expenses and remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
For foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a gain position are recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and derivatives in a loss position are recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in “Other expense, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments had a total notional principal amount of $
Zero-Cost Collar Contracts
The Company uses zero-cost collar contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with forecasted foreign currency denominated operating expenses. The changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $
The income tax provisions for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, consisted of (1) taxes on the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, (2) state taxes in jurisdictions where the Company has no remaining state net operating losses (“NOLs”), (3) foreign withholding taxes, and (4) tax expense associated with the establishment of a U.S. deferred tax liability for amortizable goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Enterasys Networks, Inc., the wireless local area network business from Zebra Technologies Corporation, the Campus Fabric Business from Avaya and the Data Center Business from Brocade. The interim income tax provisions for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were calculated using the discrete effective tax rate method as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, Income Taxes – Interim Reporting. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as (i) the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings on a jurisdictional basis and (ii) the Company’s ongoing assessment that the recoverability of certain U.S. and Irish deferred tax assets is not more likely than not.
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as well as a portion of the deferred tax assets in Ireland. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that deferred tax assets are recoverable including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, changes to enacted tax laws, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies; such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company’s inconsistent earnings in recent periods, including historical losses, tax attributes expiring unutilized in recent years and the cyclical nature of the Company’s business provides sufficient negative evidence that require a full valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as well as a portion of the deferred tax assets in Ireland.
22
These valuation allowances will be evaluated periodically and can be reversed partially or in whole if business results and the economic environment have sufficiently improved to support realization of some or all of the Company’s deferred tax assets. In the event the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, it will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
The Company had $
The Company’s policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of tax expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In general, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal years 2004 forward due to NOLs and the Company’s state income tax returns are subject to examination for fiscal years 2005 and forward due to NOLs. In general, the Company’s Irish tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal years 2022 and forward.
The Company is currently under examination in the U.S. by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended June 30, 2023. Management believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any potential assessments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.
On July 4, 2025, federal legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes numerous changes to existing tax law including provisions providing current deductibility of domestic research and development costs, modifications to the limitation on deductibility of business interest expense and modifications to the international tax framework. This legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective for the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and others for the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2027. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The effects of the new legislation are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2026.
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used in the basic net income per share calculation plus the dilutive effect of shares subject to repurchase, options and unvested RSUs.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended March 31, 2026 (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including in particular, our expectations regarding market demands, customer requirements and the general economic environment, future results of operations, and other statements that include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. We caution investors that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors identified in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and other filings we have made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risk factors include, but are not limited to: adverse general economic conditions; fluctuations in demand for our products and services; a highly competitive business environment for network switching equipment; our effectiveness in controlling expenses; the possibility that we might experience delays in the development or introduction of new technology and products; customer response to our new technology and products; fluctuations in the global economy, including as a result of political, social, economic, and regulatory factors, currency fluctuations, and tariff and trade policies; geopolitical tensions and conflicts; risks related to pending or future litigation and dependency on third parties for certain components and for the manufacturing of our products.
Business Overview
The following discussion is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. In the course of operating our business, we routinely make decisions as to the timing of the payment of invoices, the collection of receivables, the manufacturing and shipment of products, the fulfillment of orders, the purchase of supplies, and the building of inventory and service parts, among other matters. Each of these decisions has some impact on the financial results for any given period. In making these decisions, we consider various factors, including contractual obligations, customer satisfaction, competition, internal and external financial targets and expectations, and financial planning objectives. For further information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section included in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leader in AI-powered cloud networking, focused on delivering simple and secure solutions that help businesses address challenges and enable connections among devices, applications, and users. We push the boundaries of technology, leveraging the powers of artificial intelligence (“AI”), analytics, and automation and have industry-leading support services. Tens of thousands of customers globally trust Extreme to drive value, foster innovation, and overcome extreme challenges. Extreme also designs, develops, and manufactures wired, wireless, and software-defined wide area network (“SD-WAN”) infrastructure equipment. Our Extreme Platform ONETM solution, announced in December 2024 and made generally available in July 2025, is a technology platform that is designed to reduce the complexity for enterprises by seamlessly integrating networking, security and AI solutions into a single platform. AI-powered automation includes conversational, interactive and autonomous AI agents—to assist, advise and accelerate the productivity of networking, security and business teams—reducing the time to complete complex tasks.
Our global footprint provides service to some of the world’s leading names in business across verticals such as large sports and entertainment venues, hospitality, retail, transportation and logistics, education, government, healthcare, manufacturing and service providers. We derive all our revenues from the sale of our networking equipment, software subscriptions, and related maintenance contracts.
Industry Background
Enterprises across every industry are going through unprecedented changes, such as digital transformation initiatives, migrating their workloads to cloud-based environments, modernizing applications, finding new ways to leverage generative, multimodal and agentic AI technology, and adapting to a distributed workforce. To accomplish this, they are adopting new Information Technology (“IT”) delivery models and applications that require fundamental network alterations and enhancements spanning from the access edge to the data center. As networks become more complex and more distributed in nature, we believe IT teams in every industry will need more control and better insights than ever before to deliver secure, distributed connectivity and comprehensive centralized visibility. Networking is mission critical and touches all elements of how services are delivered to customers, employees, students, and patients. Managing networks from a single platform that integrates AI networking and security is critical to help reduce complexity and minimize the time it takes to complete tasks. A new category has emerged in the industry to address challenges related to managing the breadth and depth of complexities related to network administration, deployment and ongoing management termed AI for networking. This new category is defined by innovation in generative, multimodal and agentic AI technology.
As the edge of the network continues to expand, our customers are managing more endpoints which comes with a host of challenges. This continued expansion creates issues such as a higher risk of cyberattacks and a need for more bandwidth due to an increase in applications running across the network.
24
Network complexity manifests itself in the form of more endpoints to manage, more applications to monitor, and more services that rely on the network for service delivery and enablement. When performance suffers, and the tug on internal systems and IT staff becomes more intense, technology is often being overworked. Resolving network problems expeditiously and identifying their root cause can improve organizational productivity and result in higher performance of operations. AI for networking is needed to improve an IT team’s agility and responsiveness to address these challenges.
We believe that the network has never been more vital than it is today. As administrators grapple with more data, coming from more places, more connected devices, and more Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) based applications, the cloud is fundamental to managing and maintaining a modern network. Traditional network offerings are not well-suited to fulfill enterprise expectations for rapid delivery of new services, more flexible business models, real-time response, and massive scalability. We expect Extreme Platform ONE to deliver significant productivity gains for IT teams by streamlining network design, deployment, management, and commercial operations through its generative, multimodal, and agentic AI capabilities.
As enterprises continue to migrate increasing numbers of applications and services to either private clouds or public clouds offered by third parties and to adopt new IT delivery models and applications, they are required to make fundamental network alterations and enhancements spanning from wireless access points (“APs”) to the network core. In either case, the network infrastructure must adapt to this new dynamic environment. AI and automation are key if enterprises are to derive maximum benefit from their cloud deployments. With automation applications becoming increasingly critical in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, healthcare and other key industries, we believe this will continue to create demand for networking technology to serve as a foundation to run these services.
Service providers are investing in network enhancements with platforms and applications that deliver data insights, provide flexibility, and can quickly respond to new user demands and 5G use cases. The scale of issues and challenges seen within service provider networks is even greater than the enterprise network—thus they too can greatly benefit from operational gains from Extreme Platform ONE.
We believe Extreme will continue to benefit from the use of its technology to manage distributed campus network architecture centrally from the cloud. Extreme has blended a dynamic network fabric architecture that delivers simplicity for moves and changes at the edge of the network together with corporate-wide role-based policy. This enables customers to migrate to new cloud-managed switching, Wi-Fi, and SD-WAN, agnostic of the existing switching or wireless equipment they already have installed. In the end, we expect these customers to see lower operating and capital expenditures, lower subscription costs, lower overall cost of ownership and more flexibility along with a more resilient network, powered by Extreme Platform ONE.
We estimate the total addressable market (“TAM”) for our networking solutions, consisting of cloud networking, wireless local area networks (“WLAN”), campus local area networks (“LAN”), Ethernet switching, data center networking, SD-WAN solutions, and elements of the Secure Access Service Edge (“SASE”), exceeded $42 billion in calendar year 2024. Based on data from 650 Group, Gartner, IDC, and Dell’Oro Group, demand is projected to grow at a five-year compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 7%, reaching $59 billion by 2029. Within this market, cloud-managed networking solutions are expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 15% through 2029. And with Extreme Platform ONE, we are addressing AI Networking for the Campus, a high-growth segment forecasted to grow at a 72% CAGR over the next five years.

Key Business Metrics
Management uses certain supplemental operational metrics, including SaaS annual recurring revenue (“SaaS ARR”), to provide insight into trends in customer relationships over time, including customer acquisition, retention, and expansion of subscription offerings.
SaaS Annual Recurring Revenue (“SaaS ARR”)
SaaS ARR represents the annualized value of our subscription offerings and the renewable, term-based license portion of software license arrangements. SaaS ARR excludes perpetual licenses, upfront license fees, variable or non-recurring revenue, professional services revenue, support revenue from maintenance contracts, and other non-subscription revenue. SaaS ARR reflects the annual recurring revenue associated with Extreme Platform ONE (which includes embedded support), ExtremeCloud IQ, and other subscription revenue, based on the annualized value of quarterly subscription revenue and the trailing twelve months of term-based license revenue. Management uses SaaS ARR to evaluate the scale and trajectory of the Company’s subscription-based offerings and progress against customer adoption initiatives. We believe this metric is useful to investors for the same reasons, as it provides insight into our ability to acquire new customers and to maintain and expand our existing customer relationships. SaaS ARR is an operating metric and should be considered independently of revenue or deferred revenue determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. SaaS ARR does not have a standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. SaaS ARR is not intended to be a replacement for, or a forecast of, revenue.
As of March 31, 2026, our SaaS ARR was $236.4 million, which was 28.6% higher than SaaS ARR of $184.0 million as of March 31, 2025. The increase in SaaS ARR was primarily due to increased adoption of our cloud network management solutions and continued growth in our subscription business.

Product gross profit increased $11.1 million or 10.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in product gross profit was primarily due to the increase in product revenues of $21.3 million, partially offset by a corresponding increase in direct product costs and increased distribution costs of $1.4 million driven by higher shipments and an increase in purchase price variances of $4.2 million driven by higher memory component costs.
Product gross profit increased $37.3 million or 12.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in product gross profit was primarily due to the increase in product revenues of $78.6 million, partially offset by a corresponding increase in direct product costs and increased distribution costs of $7.9 million driven by higher shipments and an increase in purchase price variances of $7.5 million driven by higher memory component costs.
Subscription and support gross profit increased $9.0 million or 12.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in subscription and support gross profit was primarily due to higher subscription revenues of $11.1 million related to increased adoption of the Company’s Platform ONE subscription, partially offset by $2.6 million of higher subscription hosting costs.
Subscription and support gross profit increased $21.3 million or 9.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in subscription and support gross profit was primarily due to higher subscription revenues of $33.4 million related to increased adoption of the Company’s Platform ONE subscription, partially offset by $8.4 million of higher subscription hosting costs and $3.1 of personnel costs related to the fulfillment of support contracts.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs (which consist of compensation, benefits and share-based compensation), consultant fees and prototype expenses related to the design, development, and testing of our products.
Research and development expenses increased by $3.5 million or 6.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in personnel costs due to higher compensation and benefits costs, a $1.0 million increase in information technology and equipment costs, and a $1.0 million increase in other expenses primarily consisting of engineering project costs and depreciation costs.
Research and development expenses increased by $9.5 million or 5.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to a $4.9 million increase in personnel costs due to higher compensation and benefits costs, a $2.6 million increase in engineering project costs, and a $2.0 million increase in information technology and equipment costs.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs (which consist of compensation, benefits and share-based compensation), as well as trade shows and promotional expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $9.2 million or 11.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $4.9 million increase in personnel costs due to higher compensation and benefits costs, a $2.0 million increase in sales commissions, a $1.5 million increase in information technology and equipment costs, and a $0.8 million increase in other expenses primarily related to professional fees and travel costs.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $26.2 million or 10.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $13.1 million increase in personnel costs due to higher compensation and benefits costs, a $7.3 million increase in sales commissions, a $3.3 million increase in information technology and equipment costs, a $1.7 million increase in professional fees, and a $0.8 million increase in travel expenses.

General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat year over year with an increase of less than $0.1 million or 0.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million or 1.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $5.9 million increase in personnel costs due to higher salaries and benefits costs, a $2.9 million increase in amortization expense related to cloud computing implementation costs, and a $2.0 million increase in system transition costs, partially offset by a $9.6 million decrease in legal costs related to litigation matters, net of insurance recoveries.
30
Restructuring and Related Charges (Benefits)
For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.5 million, which primarily consisted of severance and benefit costs and asset disposal costs related to the restructuring plans executed in prior years, as described in Note 13, Restructuring and Related Charges (Benefits), in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a restructuring benefit of $0.4 million and restructuring charges of $1.9 million, respectively, which primarily consisted of additions to severance and benefits costs and professional services fees as well as reversals of previously established accruals related to unused severance benefits associated with the reduction-in-force actions related to the “Q2 2024 Plan,” and “Q3 2024 Plan,” each as described in Note 13, Restructuring and Related Charges (Benefits), in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $0.4 million and $0.5 million of operating expenses, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $1.3 million and $1.5 million of operating expenses, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets.
Interest Income
During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $1.0 million in interest income.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $3.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily related to the higher interest earned on our cash accounts due to interest rates as well as higher cash and cash equivalents balances held during fiscal 2026.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $3.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in interest expense related to the debt obligations held under our Amended Credit Agreement. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $10.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively, in interest expense related to the debt obligations held under our Amended Credit Agreement. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Other Expense, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded other expense, net of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The other expense, net for each period primarily related to the foreign exchange impact from the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded other expense, net of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The other expense, net for each period primarily related to the foreign exchange impact from the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under SEC rules and regulations. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
As discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, we consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements:
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since the filing of our last Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of March 31, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $210.1 million, accounts receivable, net of $162.7 million, and available borrowings under our 2023 Revolving Facility of $105.8 million. Our principal uses of cash include the purchase of finished goods inventory from our contract manufacturers, payroll and other operating expenses related to the development and marketing of our products, purchases of property and equipment, repayments of debt and related interest and share repurchases. We believe that our $210.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, our cash flow from operations and the availability of borrowings from the 2023 Revolving Facility will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next 12 months and into the foreseeable future.
On February 18, 2025, we announced that our Board had authorized management to repurchase up to $200 million of shares of the Company’s common stock over a three-year period, commencing July 1, 2025 (the “2025 Repurchase Program”). Under this repurchase program, purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan. The manner, timing and amount of any future purchases will be determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions, stock price, Extreme’s ongoing determination that it is the best use of available cash and other factors. The 2025 Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any shares of our common stock, and it may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice and will be subject to regulatory considerations.
On January 30, 2026, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “2026 ASR”) to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock as part of the 2025 Repurchase Program. Pursuant to the 2026 ASR and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid $50 million for an initial delivery of 2,957,550 shares valued at $43.1 million with an average price of $14.58 per share. The remaining balance of $6.9 million was recorded in “Additional paid-in capital” as a forward contract in the Company’s common stock. The forward contract was settled on April 24, 2026 and the Company received an additional 342,257 shares of its common stock.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased a total of 3,534,831 shares of its common stock, including the 2,957,550 shares purchased as part of the 2026 ASR, at a total cost of $55.1 million, excluding the $6.9 million included in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 for the unsettled portion, with an average price of $15.59 per share. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $138.0 million available under the 2025 Repurchase Program.
On June 22, 2023, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) by and among Extreme, as borrower, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as issuing lenders, the financial institutions or entities party thereto as lenders, and Bank of Montreal, as an administrative agent and collateral agent, which amended and restated the 2019 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for i) a $200.0 million first lien term loan facility in an
32
aggregate principal amount (the “Term Facility”), ii) a $150.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Facility”) and iii) an uncommitted additional incremental loan facility in the principal amount of up to $100.0 million plus an unlimited amount that is subject to pro forma compliance with a specified Consolidated Leverage Ratio tests. We may use the proceeds of the loans for working capital and general corporate purposes.
At our election, the initial term loan under the 2023 Credit Agreement may be made as either a base rate loan or a Secured Overnight Financing Rate loan (“SOFR loan”). The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, and the applicable margin for SOFR loans ranges from 2.00% to 2.75%, in each case based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. All SOFR loans are subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum and spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum. We also agreed to pay other closing fees, arrangement fees, and administration fees.
The 2023 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2023 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of its property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The 2023 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.
On August 14, 2024, we entered into an Amendment Number One to the 2023 Credit Agreement (the 2023 Credit Agreement as amended by that certain Amendment Number One, “Amended Credit Agreement”). Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we modified the definition of the consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of evaluating compliance with financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement. The amended definition of consolidated EBITDA modifies the amount and type of add-backs that are allowable to better align with our operations and activities.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the modified terms and financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operations in the nine months ended March 31, 2026 were $50.3 million, including net income of $24.1 million and non-cash expenses of $99.3 million for items such as amortization of intangible assets, amortization of cloud computing implementation costs, share-based compensation, depreciation, reduction in carrying amount of right-of-use assets, deferred income taxes, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, provision for credit losses and interest. Other sources of cash for the period included a decrease in inventories and increases in accounts payable, and deferred revenue. This was partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid and other assets as well as decreases in operating lease liabilities, accrued compensation and benefits and other liabilities.
Cash flows provided by operations in the nine months ended March 31, 2025 were $70.1 million, including net income of $0.3 million and non-cash expenses of $86.0 million for items such as amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, depreciation, reduction in carrying amount of right-of-use assets, deferred income taxes, provision for excess and obsolete inventory and interest. Other sources of cash for the period included a decrease in inventories and increases in deferred revenue and accrued compensation and benefits. This was partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets as well as decreases in accounts payable, operating lease liabilities and other liabilities.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2026 were $20.4 million for the purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
Cash flows used in investing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2025 were $18.1 million for the purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
33
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2026 were $50.8 million primarily due to share repurchases of $62.0 million under the 2025 Repurchase Program, payments of $7.6 million for taxes paid on vested and released stock awards net of proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and exercise of stock options and debt repayments of $11.3 million.
Cash flows used in financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2025 were $23.1 million primarily due to share repurchases of $13.0 million, payments of $1.9 million for taxes paid on vested and released stock awards net of proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our ESPP and exercise of stock options, a payment of $0.7 million for debt financing costs related to the Amended Credit Agreement, and debt repayments of $7.5 million.
Foreign Currency Effect on Cash and Cash Equivalents
Foreign currency effect on cash and cash equivalents increased in the nine months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and particularly the Indian Rupee, the UK Pound and the Euro.
Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2026, we had contractual obligations resulting from our debt arrangement, agreements to purchase goods and services in the ordinary course of business and obligations under our operating lease arrangements.
Our debt obligations relate to amounts owed under our Amended Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, we had $198.8 million of debt outstanding, which is payable in quarterly installments through our fiscal year 2028. We are subject to interest on our debt obligations and an unused commitment fee. See Note 7, Debt, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information regarding our debt obligations.
Our unconditional purchase obligations represent the purchase of long lead-time component inventory that our contract manufacturers procure in accordance with our forecast. We expect to honor the inventory purchase commitments within the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2026, we had non-cancelable commitments to purchase $101.6 million of inventory, including commitments for semiconductor components. These obligations reflect our ongoing effort to secure component supply and reduce supply chain risk given continued constraints in the global semiconductor market. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our purchase obligations.
We have contractual commitments to our suppliers which represent commitments for future services. As of March 31, 2026, we had contractual commitments of $10.8 million that are due through fiscal year 2027.
We lease facilities under operating lease arrangements at various locations that expire at various dates through our fiscal year 2033. As of March 31, 2026, the value of our obligations under operating leases was $44.5 million.
We have immaterial income tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the settlement of those liabilities.
We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2026.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to debt and foreign currencies.
Debt
We are exposed to interest rate fluctuations primarily through variable-rate borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, which is described in Note 7, Debt, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report. As of March 31, 2026, we had $198.8 million of debt outstanding. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the average daily outstanding amount was $184.1 million, with a high of $202.5 million and a low of $172.5 million.

* The underlying interest rate was 5.77% as of March 31, 2026.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
A majority of our sales and expenses are denominated in United States Dollars. While we conduct some sales transactions and incur certain operating expenses in foreign currencies and expect to continue to do so, we do not anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be significant, in part because of our foreign exchange risk management process discussed below.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward or zero-cost collar contracts to attempt to mitigate the effect of gains and losses generated by foreign currency transactions related to certain forecasted operating expenses and remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in the fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts are offset largely by re-measurement of the underlying foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments had a total notional principal amount of $65.9 million and $52.2 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in “Other expense, net.”
Zero-Cost Collar Contracts
Changes in the fair value of our zero-cost collar contracts are recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” related to the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reclassified to the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the same period that the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. As of March 31, 2026, zero-cost collar contracts designated as cash flow hedges, had a total notional principal amount of $80.4 million. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments.
Foreign Currency Transactions
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized foreign currency transaction net gains of $1.9 million and foreign currency transaction net losses of $0.9 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized foreign currency transaction net gains of $2.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. As a result of this implementation, the Company made certain changes to its internal control over financial reporting related to the associated processes. The Company will continue to evaluate further changes, if any, in our internal control over financial reporting during subsequent periods to confirm adequate internal control effectiveness.

Other than changes resulting from the ERP implementation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our control system’s objective will be met, and our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Extreme Networks have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Notwithstanding these limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.
