Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains information about our financial results that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, exclude the impact of purchase accounting intangible amortization expense, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, and other tax adjustments, and are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our historical operations and financial performance.

In addition, we present EBITDA, which is calculated as net income (loss) before interest (income) expense, net, income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as EBITDA, excluding other (income) expense, net, stock-based compensation, and restructuring and other charges, as measures of our operating profitability. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). We also present Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total sales.

We have included non-GAAP total sales on a constant currency basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to total sales on a constant currency basis is total sales. We believe constant currency information is useful in analyzing underlying trends in our business and the commercial performance of our products by eliminating the impact of highly volatile fluctuations in foreign currency markets and allows for period-to-period comparisons of our performance. For simplicity, we may elect to omit this information in future periods if we determine a lack of material impact. To present this information, current period performance for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect during the last day of the prior comparable period.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with relevant period-to-period comparisons of our core operations using the same methodology that management employs in its review of the Company’s operating results. These financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using these measures to evaluate a company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to varying methods of calculation. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

(1) We exclude stock-based compensation, which is non-cash, from the non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that such exclusion provides a better comparison of results of ongoing operations for current and future periods with such results from past periods.

(2) On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the “Integration Plan”), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Restructuring and other costs primarily consist of severance and related benefits associated with the Restructuring Plan, Integration Plan, and executive transitions.

(3) The Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is calculated by applying a statutory tax rate to Non-GAAP adjustments, including Stock-based compensation, Restructuring and other costs, non-recurring Inventory reserve charges, and Purchase accounting intangible amortization and fair value adjustments. In addition, when estimating our Non-GAAP income tax rate, we exclude the impact of items that impact our reported income tax rate that we do not believe are representative of our ongoing operating results, including the impact of valuation allowances we are currently recording in certain jurisdictions and certain discrete items such as adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves, as these items are difficult to predict and can impact our effective income tax rate. Specifically, Other tax adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were comprised of $3.6 million related to the impact of valuation allowance adjustments and $0.3 million related to other discrete items.

Published

By

Increased revenue 19.4% sequentially, returned to quarterly non-GAAP operating income, and maintained positive cash flow

TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RADCOM Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDCM) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Third-quarter revenues were $14.0 million, up 19.4% sequentially and down 23.6% year over year. Although RADCOM recorded a GAAP operating loss, it returned to non-GAAP operating profitability. RADCOM also generated $1.7 million in positive cash flow and ended the quarter with $111.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits and no debt, up from $109.7 million as of June 30, 2026.

“We returned to non-GAAP operating profitability this quarter and added two new customers, VNPT and CETIN Networks, each replacing the incumbent vendor through a competitive process,” said Benny Eppstein, RADCOM’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our solutions remain integral to how customers manage their networks and end-user service quality, and our customer relationships remain strong. Operators continue to invest in their networks, and we are working closely with them on their deployment plans. Based on those discussions, we see positive signs that some deployments delayed in 2026 will begin to move forward in early 2027.”

“We are reaffirming our revised full-year outlook,” Eppstein continued. “With $111.4 million in cash and no debt, we are investing in RADCOM ACE and our agentic AI roadmap to drive growth. We expect to begin repurchasing shares after the current earnings-related blackout period ends, at management’s discretion. Looking ahead, we remain open to partnerships and targeted acquisitions that expand our solution portfolio, enhance customer value, and deliver greater returns to stakeholders. Together, these steps reflect our confidence in the business and our commitment to building long-term value for our shareholders.”

IBM Quantum Nighthawk Demonstrates New Levels of Speed and Quality, with Plans to Scale Beyond 1,000 Qubits in 2027

Published

on

By

New Nighthawk r3 processor will be built to execute 10,000 quantum operations, enabling larger and more complex computations as IBM advances its roadmap toward fault tolerance

Clients and partners including E.ON, Algorithmiq, and Q-CTRL have run more than 34 billion circuits on Nighthawk r2, reporting speedups of up to 19x beyond previous IBM quantum processors

Enhanced IBM Quantum Platform unites quantum with classical computing in one environment

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced IBM Quantum Nighthawk r3, its next-generation processor, will be built to accurately execute 10,000 quantum operations across 520 qubits to tackle larger, more complex problems while maintaining the speed and quality demonstrated by the current generation Nighthawk available today.

In 2027, IBM plans to link two Nighthawk r3 processors into a single system with more than 1,000 qubits.

To be at the frontier of quantum computing, industry-relevant applications demand both computational quality and speed. Speed matters because a quantum computer delivers its answer in samples: each run of a quantum circuit returns one result. Applications increasingly require circuits executing thousands of quantum operations on approximately 100 qubits or more, generating millions to billions of samples. Scale and quality enable increasingly complex computations, but speed determines whether these demanding workloads can be completed in practical timeframes and at a reasonable cost.

“Useful quantum computing hinges on whether results can be delivered with accuracy and speed, both are fundamental,” said Jay Gambetta, Director of IBM Research and IBM Fellow. “Nighthawk is already showing us what that looks like today. As we scale this architecture to larger and more powerful quantum computers, the capabilities of quantum computation will reach new levels as we integrate more closely with classical resources and march ahead to fault tolerance.”

Nighthawk r2: Delivering Speed for Real-World Workloads

Introduced in September, IBM Quantum Nighthawk r2 delivers up to 100,000 samples per second while supporting accurate computations with more than 7,500 quantum operations on 120 qubits. Its high-speed qubit reset technology dramatically reduces the time between circuit executions, enabling applications to collect the millions or billions of samples needed for complex computations far more efficiently.

Clients and partners including E.ON, Algorithmiq, and Q-CTRL have executed 34 billion circuits on Nighthawk r2 to date, reporting performance improvements of up to 19x while maintaining the quality needed for scientific computation.

The results are already demonstrating value across industries. E.ON reported a 15x speedup on Nighthawk r2 in quantum machine learning for energy grid optimization. IBM used Nighthawk r2 for a 12x speedup of an experiment ran earlier this year with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which simulated real magnetic materials and produced results consistent with neutron scattering experiments. Both of these speedups were achieved over previous work on IBM Quantum Heron. Quantum Elements and ParityQC are also among the partners reporting significant performance improvements on their own Nighthawk r2 workloads.

The quantum advantage experiments IBM and its partners published in July were first run on IBM Quantum Heron, with circuits and results openly available for independent testing through the community-led Quantum Advantage Tracker. An experiment with Algorithmiq to simulate a heterogeneous quantum material has now been extended to Nighthawk r2, leveraging its speed and connectivity to execute circuits 8 times faster than the original experiment on Heron. At the same time, the new circuits are significantly more challenging for classical computers to simulate, requiring an estimated 240 times more memory to achieve comparable accuracy when using leading classical tensor-network methods.

Nighthawk r3: Scaling to More Than 1,000 Qubits

Building on the performance demonstrated by Nighthawk r2, Nighthawk r3 will extend the same high-speed architecture to larger quantum computers. The new processor is designed to support 10,000 quantum operations on 520 programmable qubits, with 2,034 total physical qubits. It retains r2’s square-lattice connectivity and fast operations while introducing 10 chip-to-chip interconnects, called l-couplers, designed to connect processors into larger systems.

IBM has already demonstrated two critical technologies that enable this modular approach. This year, IBM connected Nighthawk r1 processors using four l-couplers, achieving 99.3 percent quantum state transfer fidelity and progressing toward its 99.9 percent target. IBM also connected two cryogenic modules into a single system for the first time, reaching operating temperature in under five days and cooling below 15 millikelvin.

Together, these advances demonstrate critical progress in modularity and provide confidence in IBM’s ability to scale Nighthawk to larger quantum computers. In 2027, IBM plans to connect two Nighthawk r3 processors into a single 1,040-qubit system, extending its high-performance architecture to larger and more complex computations.

Quantum Meets Classical on the IBM Quantum Platform

Advancing quantum computers requires continued progress in how they work alongside classical compute to handle errors. Industry-relevant workloads will demand layers of quantum error correction and error mitigation techniques alongside noise learning and post-processing. As quantum workloads scale, they will call for more classical resources, and the challenge now is how to best scale this integration.

To unite these paradigms, IBM Quantum Platform is bringing high-performance (HPC) classical and quantum computing together into a single managed environment. Users can now integrate quantum workflows directly with a range of classical compute – whether from their laptop or a powerful supercomputer – or with the HPC and classical resources that are newly available on the platform.

Users are seeing promising results from these integrations. For example, using the new environment, IBM and RIKEN* scientists executed their original sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) workflow roughly 5 times faster while performing 100 times more computations than in the original study. Cleveland Clinic and RIKEN also leveraged the platform to automatically process 608 million samples for modeling biologically relevant structures, 33 times faster than without workflow automation.

Enhanced capabilities will also fuel breakthroughs in quantum error correction. IBM Quantum Platform offers pulse-level capabilities to give researchers precise control over how they can detect, understand, and better correct errors within quantum and classical architectures. This helps them better time operations, reset qubits faster, and extract more information from quantum measurements – giving researchers the visibility to improve error correction at its most fundamental levels.

IBM recently launched a new co-design platform for quantum error correction with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and AMD that physically co-locates Nighthawk with ORNL’s Umbra High-Performance Computing (HPC) system, powered by AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs and 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs.

Gift supports a larger, 16-suite house for Veteran families, building on NewDay’s year-round commitment to serving those who have served

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This Veterans Day, NewDay USA, a national mortgage lending company serving the Veteran community, announced its $1 million donation to Fisher House Foundation in support of the new Fisher House at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center. The gift supports construction of a larger, more accessible facility where Veteran families can stay close to their loved ones during medical care, at no cost to them. 

“Helping Veterans and Service Members achieve the American Dream of homeownership is at the heart of NewDay’s mission, but our commitment to those who have served extends well beyond that,” said Rob Posner, CEO of NewDay USA. “When a Veteran needs medical care, their family should be able to focus on being there for them, not worrying about the cost of where they stay. It is our privilege to support Fisher House and help more military families stay together when they need each other the most.”

The new Fisher House will replace the smaller existing house on the VA campus, expanding to 16 fully wheelchair-accessible suites. The original facility lacks an elevator and full accessibility, limiting its ability to accommodate some families with mobility needs. The new house will provide both greater capacity and more accessible accommodations to better meet the needs of the Veteran community.

“More space and fully accessible suites mean we can welcome more families and better meet their needs,” said David Coker, President of Fisher House Foundation. “We are grateful to NewDay USA for helping make this new Fisher House possible and for the employees who give their time to support our guests throughout the year. Their generosity will help more families focus on what matters most: being there for a loved one receiving care.”

The donation builds on NewDay’s ongoing involvement with the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center and Fisher House. NewDay employees regularly volunteer at both facilities and serve dinner at Fisher House each month, offering a warm meal and a welcoming connection to families spending time away from home.

“On Veterans Day and every day, we have a responsibility to honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s Veterans and the families who stand beside them,” said Admiral Thomas Lynch, Executive Chairman of NewDay USA. “Supporting Fisher House is a meaningful way to put that gratitude into action. Whether we are helping build this new house or serving dinner to the families staying there, our message is the same: your service is remembered, and you are not alone.”
