Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements related to our expectations regarding: net revenue, gross margins, operating expenses, operating income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, tax expense and tax rate, and net income (loss) per diluted share. Our expectations regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include, in no particular order, the following: the market and technology trends underlying our Video and Broadband businesses will not continue to develop in their current direction or pace; the possibility that our products will not generate sales that are commensurate with our expectations or that our cost of revenue or operating expenses may exceed our expectations; the impact of general economic conditions on our sales and operations; the mix of products and services sold in various geographies and the effect it has on gross margins; delays or decreases in capital spending in the cable, satellite, telco, broadcast and media industries; customer concentration and consolidation; our ability to develop new and enhanced products in a timely manner and market acceptance of our new or existing products; losses of one or more key customers; risks associated with our international operations; exchange rate fluctuations of the currencies in which we conduct business; risks associated with our cOS™ and VOS product solutions; dependence on various broadband and video industry trends; inventory management; the lack of timely availability or the impact of increases in the prices of parts or raw materials necessary to produce our products; the effect of competition, on both revenue and gross margins; difficulties associated with rapid technological changes in our markets; risks associated with unpredictable sales cycles; our dependence on contract manufacturers and sole or limited source suppliers; and the impact on our business of natural disasters. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in Harmonic’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and Harmonic disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or referred to herein as “reported”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide management and other users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our ongoing performance. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, establish operating budgets, set internal measurement targets and make operating decisions.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Harmonic’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Harmonic’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and its historical and projected results of operations. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP measures presented here are: Gross profit, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, non-operating expenses and net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA (including those amounts as a percentage of revenue) and net income (loss) per diluted share. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements provided with this press release. The non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from our GAAP financial measures.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:
Stock-based compensation – Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. We believe that management is limited in its ability to project the impact stock-based compensation would have on our operating results. In addition, for comparability purposes, we believe it is useful to provide a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate the comparison of our results to the results of our peer companies.
Restructuring and related charges – Harmonic from time to time incurs restructuring charges which primarily consist of employee severance, one-time termination benefits related to the reduction of its workforce, and other costs. These charges are associated with material business shifts. We exclude these items because we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing long-term business and operating results.
Non-cash interest expense expenses related to convertible notes and other debt – We record the amortization of issuance costs as non-cash interest expense. We believe that excluding these costs provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance and liquidity, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view the Company’s results from management’s perspective. In addition, we believe excluding these costs from the non-GAAP measures facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to peer company operating results.
Discrete tax items and tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments – The income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments relates to the tax effect of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income.
Depreciation – Depreciation expense, along with interest, tax and stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring charges, is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because we do not believe depreciation and the other items relate to the ordinary course of our business or are reflective of our underlying business performance.
Non-recurring advisory fees – There were non-recurring costs that we excluded from non-GAAP results relating to professional accounting, tax and legal fees associated with strategic corporate initiatives.
Lease-related asset impairment and other charges – There were lease-related asset impairment and other charges that we excluded from non-GAAP results relating to the reduction of our leased office space, as we continue to adapt to the changing dynamics of work and seek to optimize value for our business. These charges primarily consist of right-of-use asset impairment and related leasehold improvement impairment, and the fair value of other unrecoverable facility costs due to the intended change in use of certain leased space.

Hisense Celebrates Earth Day: The Quiet Green Shift Happening Inside Households Through Smarter Appliances
Published

DUBAI, UAE, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — There’s something futuristic about a refrigerator that thinks for itself. Not in a science-fiction, take-over-the-world kind of way, but in the everyday miracle of a 620-litre side-by-side unit deciding, on its own, that 3am is the perfect time to run its compressor at minimal power because nobody’s opening the door anyway.
This is the green revolution that nobody talks about at climate summits. While world leaders debate carbon credits and industrial emissions, a quieter transformation is unfolding in kitchens, utility rooms, and living spaces across the UAE and beyond. It happens every time a washing machine calculates the precise amount of water needed for that half-load of towels, or when an air conditioner’s inverter technology throttles down instead of cycling on and off like an energy-guzzling metronome.
Earth Day, falling on 22 April this year, typically conjures images of tree-planting ceremonies and beach clean-ups. Worthy endeavours, certainly. But the environmental impact of what sits in your home, running twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year, rarely gets the attention it deserves.
On average, washing machines use 19 gallons of water per load, and the average household runs between 5 and 6 loads per week. Based on those figures, most washers use up to 5,605 gallons of water annually . Swap that for a modern front-load unit with AI wash programs, like Hisense’s models, and that figure can drop by up to 50 percent. Multiply this across the roughly 500,000 households in Dubai alone, and we’re suddenly talking about water savings that would make a desalination plant executive weep with joy.
The same logic applies to electricity consumption, a particularly pressing concern in a region where summer temperatures regularly exceed 45°C and air conditioning is a necessity. The difference between a conventional split AC unit and one equipped with inverter technology isn’t marginal, it’s substantial enough to show up on utility bills within the first month of operation.
Intelligence as an Environmental Strategy
What makes the current generation of home appliances genuinely different isn’t just improved efficiency ratings or eco-labelling. It’s the integration of AI into the very fabric of how these machines operate.
Hisense, a brand that has positioned itself at this intersection of technology and sustainability, describes its approach as a “dual-track strategy of intelligence plus green development.” Its ConnectLife ecosystem, available on select refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, and air conditioners, monitors energy consumption in real-time, learns household patterns, and makes AI-driven recommendations that, over time, compound into meaningful resource savings.
A Hisense 14-place setting dishwasher with auto-wash technology, for instance, doesn’t simply run the same cycle regardless of load. It assesses soil levels and adjusts water temperature and duration accordingly. A half-load mode means running appliances at appropriate capacity rather than wasting resources on unnecessary full cycles.
Multi-airflow cooling systems that reduce temperature fluctuation and preserve food longer. No-frost technology that eliminates the energy waste of ice buildup. Inverter compressors that modulate power consumption rather than running at full throttle constantly. These technologies have existed in various forms for years. What’s changed is their integration into accessible price points and mainstream product lines, making efficient living achievable for households beyond the ultra-premium market.
The Gulf region presents a fascinating case study for domestic sustainability. Per capita energy consumption ranks among the highest globally, driven by climate control requirements, water desalination dependencies, and historically subsidised utility costs. Yet the UAE has simultaneously positioned itself as a regional leader in renewable energy investment and sustainability commitments.
This creates a unique environment where smart appliance adoption carries amplified significance. A 1.5-ton inverter split AC running across a typical Abu Dhabi summer doesn’t just save its owner money, it reduces the load on an electrical grid increasingly powered by solar and nuclear generation. The connection between individual choices and collective outcomes becomes tangible in ways that might seem abstract in milder climates.
The rise of connected appliances adds another dimension. Remote diagnostics can extend product lifespans by identifying minor issues before they become terminal failures. Software updates can improve efficiency algorithms years after purchase. Energy monitoring creates accountability loops that encourage conscious consumption patterns.
Steam wash functions on modern washing machines reduce the need for hot-water cycles while improving allergen removal. Anti-bacterial filters in air conditioning units address both health and environmental concerns simultaneously. These convergences suggest that the old tension between convenience and conscience may be resolving itself through engineering rather than requiring consumers to choose sides.
The Household as Climate Actor
There’s something democratic about domestic sustainability. Industrial emissions reductions require policy negotiations, capital investments, and coordination across complex stakeholder ecosystems. Choosing a more efficient refrigerator requires a trip to the appliance store and perhaps a slightly higher upfront cost that will recoup itself over the product’s operational lifetime.
This isn’t to diminish the necessity of systemic change, individual action cannot substitute for structural transformation. But the two approaches complement rather than compete. Households equipped with intelligent appliances consume fewer resources, place less strain on infrastructure, and model consumption patterns that cascade through communities.
The quiet green shift happening inside households won’t make headlines the way renewable energy megaprojects or electric vehicle adoption rates do. But every time that dishwasher calculates optimal water usage, every time that inverter compressor modulates instead of cycles, every time that smart refrigerator adjusts its cooling schedule based on door-opening patterns, something meaningful happens. Millions of these moments, aggregated across millions of households, compound into impact that rivals any single infrastructure project.
