Ribbon Communications Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Published

on

Net income increased 21% and Adjusted EBITDA up 65% in 1H 2024 YoY

Continued improvement in gross margin and lower operating expenses

Expect strong second half based on growth from U.S. Tier 1, Rural Broadband, Enterprise, and India

PLANO, Texas, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global provider of real time communications technology and IP optical networking solutions to many of the world’s largest service providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure operators to modernize and protect their networks, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2024.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $193 million, compared to $211 for the second quarter of 2023 and $180 million for the first quarter of 2024. First half 2024 GAAP Loss from Operations improved $26 million year over year to ($15 million), and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA improved $13 million, or 65%, to $33 million. GAAP and Non-GAAP Gross Margin for the second quarter improved 260 and 240 basis points year over year, respectively.

“Earnings increased significantly in the first half of 2024 with Adjusted EBITDA increasing 65% year over year despite lower sales. The improvement in profitability was driven by higher gross margins and lower operating expenses year over year. Revenue in the second quarter was impacted by a large U.S. Federal deal that was delayed to the third quarter. Sales were also lower as we suspended product shipments into Eastern Europe due to the extended war in Ukraine and increased complexities of operating in the region,” stated Bruce McClelland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ribbon Communications.

Mr. McClelland added, “We continue to project a strong second half of 2024 as we ramp the recently announced Verizon Voice Network modernization program and anticipate strong growth in several other areas such as Enterprise, U.S. Rural Broadband, Europe, and India. Recent changes in the competitive landscape also present an opportunity for further share expansion. However, we have adjusted our full year 2024 guidance slightly to reflect a more conservative outlook for the Eastern European region for the rest of the year.”

“During the second quarter of 2024, we completed the refinancing of our capital structure with a $385 million five-year senior secured credit facility that provides us greater liquidity with less restrictions. Our new strategic banking group relationship with HPS Investment Partners, LLC and WhiteHorse Capital Management, LLC will also give us opportunities to support our future growth needs,” said Mick Lopez, Chief Financial Officer of Ribbon Communications. “Additionally, we continue to improve our operations, driving a 240 basis point improvement year over year in gross margins and a $4 million reduction in expenses, resulting in the lowest level of operating expenses since the ECI acquisition in 2020.”

Business Outlook1   
For the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects continued sequential growth in both of our businesses with revenue in a range of $205 million to $220 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is projected in a range of 53% to 53.5%. Adjusted EBITDA is projected in a range of $25 million to $30 million.

The Company has also adjusted full-year 2024 targets and now expects revenue in a range of $830 million to $850 million, non-GAAP gross margin in a range of 54% to 54.5%, and Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $105 million to $115 million.

The Company’s outlook is based on current indications for its business, which are subject to change.

Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 
The information in this release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this release, including without limitation statements regarding the Company’s projected financial results for the third quarter of 2024 and beyond; plans and objectives for future operations, including cost reductions; the impact of the wars in Israel and Ukraine; customer spending and engagement and momentum; and plans for future product development and manufacturing and the expected benefits therefrom, are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “expectations”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “projects” and other similar language, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. 

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated in these forward-looking statements due to various risks, uncertainties and other important factors, including, among others, the effects of geopolitical instabilities and wars, including in Israel and Ukraine (and the impact of sanctions and trade restrictions imposed as a result thereof); unpredictable fluctuations in quarterly revenue and operating results; increases in tariffs, trade restrictions or taxes on the Company’s products; the impact of restructuring and cost-containment activities; operational disruptions at facilities located in Israel including as a result of military call-ups of the Company’s employees in Israel, closure of the offices there or the temporary or long-term closure of contract manufacturing in the region; the potential impact of litigation; risks related to supply chain disruptions, including as a result of component availability; risks resulting from higher interests rates and continued inflationary pressures; risks related to cybersecurity and data intrusion; failure to compete successfully against telecommunications equipment and networking companies; failure to grow the Company’s customer base or generate recurring business from existing customers; credit risks; the timing of customer purchasing decisions and the Company’s recognition of revenues; macroeconomic conditions, including inflation; market acceptance of the Company’s products and services; rapid technological and market change; the ability to protect Company intellectual property rights and obtain necessary licenses; the ability to maintain partner, reseller, distribution and vendor support and supply relationships; the potential for defects in the Company’s products; and currency fluctuations.

These factors are not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s business and results from operations. Additional information regarding these and other factors can be found in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. In providing forward-looking statements, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update these statements publicly or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s management uses several different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of its business, making operating decisions, planning and forecasting future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. The Company considers the use of non-GAAP financial measures helpful in assessing the core performance of its continuing operations and when planning and forecasting future periods. The Company’s annual financial plan is prepared on a non-GAAP basis and is approved by its board of directors. In addition, budgeting and forecasting for revenue and expenses are conducted on a non-GAAP basis, and actual results on a non-GAAP basis are assessed against the annual financial plan. The Company defines continuing operations as the ongoing results of its business adjusted for certain expenses and credits, as described below. The Company believes that providing non-GAAP information to investors allows them to view the Company’s financial results in the way its management views them and helps investors to better understand the Company’s core financial and operating performance and evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by its management to evaluate and measure such performance.

While the Company’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures as tools to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of the Company’s financial performance, management does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s presentations of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives for, or in isolation from, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, many of the adjustments to the Company’s financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in its financial results for the foreseeable future.

Stock-Based Compensation
The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP operating results that exclude stock-based compensation provides investors with visibility and insight into its management’s method of analysis and its core operating performance.

Amortization of Acquired Technology (including software licenses); Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
Amortization amounts are inconsistent in frequency and amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions. Amortization of acquired technology is reported separately within Cost of revenue and Amortization of acquired intangible assets is reported separately within Operating expenses. These items are reported collectively as Amortization of acquired intangible assets in the accompanying reconciliations of non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that excluding non-cash amortization of these intangible assets facilitates the comparison of its financial results to its historical operating results and to other companies in its industry as if the acquired intangible assets had been developed internally rather than acquired.

Litigation Costs
In connection with certain ongoing contract litigation where Ribbon is the defendant (as described in Note 26 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023), the Company has incurred litigation costs beginning in 2023. These costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense. The Company believes that such costs are not part of its core business or ongoing operations, are unplanned and generally not within its control.  Accordingly, the Company believes that excluding the litigation costs related to these specific legal matters facilitates the comparison of the Company’s financial results to its historical operating results and to other companies in its industry.

Acquisition-, Disposal- and Integration-Related
The Company considers certain acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related costs to be unrelated to the organic continuing operations of the Company and its acquired businesses. Such costs are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. The Company excludes such acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related costs to allow more accurate comparisons of its financial results to its historical operations and the financial results of less acquisitive peer companies and allows management and investors to consider the ongoing operations of the business both with and without such expenses. 

Restructuring and Related
The Company has recorded restructuring and related expense to streamline operations and reduce operating costs by closing and consolidating certain facilities and reducing its worldwide workforce. The Company believes that excluding restructuring and related expense facilitates the comparison of its financial results to its historical operating results and to other companies in its industry, as there are no future revenue streams or other benefits associated with these costs. 

Preferred Stock and Warrant Liability Mark-to-Market Adjustment
The Company recorded adjustments to the fair value of its Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in Other (expense) income, net. Both of these instruments were issued in March 2023 in connection with the Company’s private placement and have been classified as liabilities and marked to market each reporting period until the Series A Preferred Stock was fully redeemed on June 25, 2024. The Warrant liability remains outstanding and will continue to be marked to market each reporting period. The Company excluded these gains and losses from the change in the fair value of these liabilities because it believes that such gains or losses were not part of its core business or ongoing operations.

Tax Effect of Non-GAAP Adjustments
The Non-GAAP income tax provision is presented based on an estimated tax rate applied against forecasted annual non-GAAP income. The Non-GAAP income tax provision assumes no available net operating losses or valuation allowances for the U.S. because of reporting significant cumulative non-GAAP income over the past several years. The Company is reporting its non-GAAP quarterly income taxes by computing an annual rate for the Company and applying that single rate (rather than multiple rates by jurisdiction) to its consolidated quarterly results. The Company expects that this methodology will provide a consistent rate throughout the year and allow investors to better understand the impact of income taxes on its results. Due to the methodology applied to its estimated annual tax rate, the Company’s estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income will differ from its GAAP tax rate and from its actual tax liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess its performance. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by excluding from income (loss) from operations: depreciation; stock-based compensation; amortization of acquired intangible assets; certain litigation costs; acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related expense; and restructuring and related expense. In general, the Company excludes the expenses that it considers to be non-cash and/or not a part of its ongoing operations. The Company may exclude other items in the future that have those characteristics. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the investing community for comparative and valuation purposes. The Company discloses this metric to support and facilitate dialogue with research analysts and investors. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight, commented:

“2025 was a defining year for Hydreight. We transitioned from a growing platform into a scaled healthcare infrastructure business, with strong revenue growth and sustained profitability.

The acceleration we saw in the second half of the year was driven largely by the rollout of VSDHOne, which is now becoming a meaningful contributor to both revenue and long-term scalability.

As we move into 2026, our focus is on expanding our partner network, increasing transaction volume across the platform, and continuing to grow our compliant healthcare infrastructures in the United States.”

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE & DRIVERS

VSDHOne – Core Growth Engine

The Company’s VSDHOne platform, launched in 2025, was a primary driver of growth, contributing to:

Rapid onboarding of new partnersExpansion of direct-to-consumer healthcare brandsIncreased transaction volume across telehealth and pharmacy services

Revenue growth in 2025 was primarily driven by VSDHOne-related activity, combined with continued organic growth across existing partners.

The platform ramped significantly through the second half of the year, with Q4 alone contributing $14.9M in revenue, representing approximately 270% growth compared to the same period in 2024. This acceleration reflects strong demand from partners seeking compliant, turnkey solutions and demonstrates the Company’s ability to scale transaction volume efficiently across its infrastructure.

OPERATING METRICS & VOLUME GROWTH

Operational performance across the Company’s core verticals continued to strengthen throughout 2025.

The Company’s first two verticals continued their historical growth in 2025, supported by alignment with broader market trends and the introduction of direct-to-consumer products and services through Hydreight’s proprietary platform structure.

Completed Services revenue in Q4 2025 for the first vertical increased by approximately 44% compared to the same period in 2024Completed Services revenue for the first vertical in 2025 increased by approximately 17% compared to 2024New nurse sign-ups increased by approximately 45% in 2025 compared to 2024

These metrics reflect continued growth in the Company’s core service offerings, expansion of its provider network, and increasing utilization across the platform.

PLATFORM SCALE & NETWORK EFFECTS

Hydreight continues to expand its position as a leading healthcare infrastructure platform:

11,000+ licenses signed across VSDHOneNational footprint across all 50 U.S. statesNetwork of healthcare providers, pharmacies, and partners

The Company believes that this scale reflects growing demand from businesses seeking compliant, turnkey solutions to enter and expand within the U.S. healthcare market.

MULTI-VERTICAL REVENUE MODEL

Hydreight generates revenue across three primary streams:

Business partner subscription contractsTelehealth consultation and platform commissionsPharmacy sales

Growth was supported by:

Expansion of product offerings (GLP-1s, peptides, NAD, TRT, and more)Increased partner utilizationBroader adoption across wellness verticals

PROFITABILITY & OPERATING LEVERAGE

Hydreight achieved strong improvements in Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure:

Adjusted EBITDA: $2.5M in 2025 vs. $0.14M in 2024 (+1,765% YoY)Net income (loss): $1.69M in 2025 vs. $(0.41)M in 2024

Performance strengthened meaningfully in the fourth quarter, reflecting the scaling of the platform in the second half of the year.

Q4 Adjusted EBITDA: $1.58M vs. ($0.10M) in Q4 2024

This reflects:

Platform scalabilityRevenue growth outpacing cost increasesImproved operational efficiency

This improvement reflects the operating leverage inherent in the Company’s platform model and was not solely a function of higher revenue. As transaction volumes scaled across VSDHOne, incremental revenue flowed through at higher margins, supported by a largely fixed regulatory, pharmacy, and technology infrastructure. As a result, revenue growth outpaced cost growth, driving improved profitability and demonstrating the scalability of the Company’s platform.

¹ See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation”.

BALANCE SHEET & LIQUIDITY

Cash: $15.65M (vs. $1.2M in 2024)Working Capital: ~$15.7M (vs. deficiency of $2.5M in 2024)Strong capital position to support ongoing operations

The Company also completed a $15M financing in January 2026, subsequent to year‑end, further strengthening its ability to scale operations and pursue strategic initiatives.

Including the $15M financing completed in January 2026, the Company has access to over $30.7M in capital to support growth initiatives.

Please see SEDAR+ for the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES & MILESTONES

Hydreight continues to expand its platform through strategic initiatives and partnerships.

During 2025, the Company:

Strengthened its vertically integrated healthcare infrastructureExpanded its national pharmacy networkInvested in next-generation platform capabilities (VSDHOne 2.0)Established strategic relationships to enhance product innovation and distribution

In 2026, Hydreight further expanded its strategic initiatives through an investment in Insu Therapeutics, a company focused on developing innovative delivery mechanisms for peptide-based therapies. This aligns with Hydreight’s long-term strategy of supporting next-generation treatments across its platform.

OUTLOOK

Hydreight is entering 2026 with strong momentum, supported by:

Continued onboarding of new partnersIncreasing transaction volumes across VSDHOneRecent capital deployment initiativesExpansion into new healthcare verticals

As of the end of Q1 2026, VSDHOne has surpassed 12,000 licenses sold, reflecting continued momentum in platform adoption.

Management remains focused on scaling the platform while maintaining disciplined growth and operational efficiency.

“We look forward to discussing these results in more detail on our upcoming earnings call.” -Shane Madden

Neither TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess its operating performance, and this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted Revenue” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. These measures are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS or GAAP.

The Company defines Adjusted Revenue as gross cash income before adjustment for the deferred portion of business partner contract revenue and gross receipts from Hydreight App service sales. The Company defines Adjusted Gross Margin as GAAP gross margin plus inventory impairment plus the deferred portion of business partner contract revenue. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and before (i) transaction, restructuring, and integration costs (ii) share-based payments expense, (iii) gains/losses that are not reflective of ongoing operating performance including inventory impairment and (iv) sales tax provision, net of actual cash payments to state tax authorities. 

Adjusted Revenue reflects the gross economic activity processed through the Company’s platform during the applicable period and may differ materially from revenue recognized under IFRS, which is based on revenue recognition and deferral requirements. Adjusted Revenue is not a measure of financial performance or profitability and should not be considered a substitute for revenue determined in accordance with IFRS.  As used, Adjusted Revenue accelerates cash receipts relative to IFRS revenue recognition. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company believes that these non‑GAAP measures provide information useful to investors in understanding historical operating trends and the scale of the Company’s platform relative to its peers but does not intend for such measures to represent future performance. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of other metrics presented in accordance with IFRS.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Forward-looking information is often identified by the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” or similar expressions and includes information regarding expectations for the Company’s 2026 strategic outlook, growth, platform scaling initiatives, and anticipated expansion of VSDHOne and other platform offerings.

Forward‑looking information is based on management’s expectations, estimates and assumptions as of the date hereof, including assumptions regarding: continued partner adoption, stable regulatory regimes applicable to telehealth and pharmacy operations in the United States, availability of capital, and general economic conditions.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical facts but instead reflects the Company’s management’s expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the Company.

Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are the following: the ability to obtain requisite regulatory and other approvals with respect to the business operated by the Company and/or the potential impact of the listing of the Company’s shares on the TSXV on relationships, including with regulatory bodies, employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; compliance with extensive government regulation; and the diversion of management time as a result of being a publicly listed entity. This forward-looking information may be affected by risks and uncertainties in the business of the Company and market conditions.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information except as otherwise required by applicable law.
