First Quarter Revenue in Line with Expectations
PLANO, Texas, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global leader in real-time communications technology and IP optical networking solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2026. Ribbon Communications is dedicated to assisting the world’s largest service providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure operators in modernizing and safeguarding their networks and services.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights
Financial Results¹:
Revenue was $163 million, compared to $181 million for the first quarter of 2025GAAP Operating Loss was ($32) million, compared to ($20) million for the first quarter of 2025Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was ($8) million, compared to $6 million for the first quarter of 2025GAAP Gross Margin was 42.9%, compared to 45.4% for the first quarter of 2025Non-GAAP Gross Margin was 45.8%, compared to 48.6% for the first quarter of 2025
“We remain confident in the underlying demand environment and continue to expect meaningful second-half growth across multiple end markets including voice transformation projects with U.S. Service Providers and Federal agencies, and growing IP and Optical deployments in the U.S. and EMEA regions, with significant improvement beginning in the second quarter,” stated Bruce McClelland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ribbon Communications. “Revenue in the first quarter was in line with expectations and reflected the timing dynamics we outlined earlier this year. While margins were pressured by a slower deployment pace with key U.S. Tier 1 Service Providers and higher sales in India, we expect margin expansion as revenue increases throughout the year.”
Mr. McClelland continued, “We were particularly pleased by several new Data Center Interconnect wins in the first quarter, as well as multiple new secure private optical network awards supporting major energy producers and distributors in multiple countries. Importantly, we are gaining traction with our Ribbon Acumen™ AIOps platform with several new customer engagements and a growing pipeline of POCs. Furthermore, we believe our recent Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Amazon Web Services further strengthens our leadership position in cloud-native communications infrastructure to enable Agentic and AI voice capabilities.”
John Townsend, Chief Financial Officer of Ribbon Communications, remarked, “We continue to make deliberate investments to support our expected second half revenue growth including maintaining higher professional services capacity and retaining highly skilled resources. Notwithstanding this, we are staying focused on controlling expenses and driving efficiencies, helping mitigate currency headwinds.”

Without limiting the foregoing, the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “expectations”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “projects” and other similar language, whether in the negative or affirmative, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
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 unknown and/or difficult to predict and that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unpredictable fluctuations in quarterly revenue and operating results; the impact of restructuring and cost-containment activities; increases in tariffs, trade restrictions or taxes on our products; supply chain disruptions resulting from component availability and/or geopolitical instabilities and disputes (including those related to the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine); other impacts from the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine and related economic volatility and uncertainty resulting therefrom; the impact of military call-ups of our employees in Israel; material litigation; the impact of fluctuations in interest rates; material cybersecurity and data intrusion incidents, including any security breaches resulting in the theft, transfer, or unauthorized disclosure of customer, employee, or company information; our ability to comply with applicable domestic and foreign information security and privacy laws, regulations and technology platform rules or other obligations related to data privacy and security; failure to compete successfully against telecommunications equipment and networking companies; failure to grow our customer base or generate recurring business from our existing customers; credit risks; the timing of customer purchasing decisions and our recognition of revenues; macroeconomic conditions, including inflation; our ability to adapt to rapid technological and market changes; our ability to generate positive returns on our research and development; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and obtain necessary licenses; our ability to maintain partner, reseller, distribution and vendor support and supply relationships; the potential for defects in our products; risks related to the terms of our credit agreement; higher risks in international operations and markets; currency fluctuations; unanticipated adverse changes in legal, regulatory or tax laws; future accounting pronouncements or changes in our accounting policies; and/or failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures. We therefore caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.
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, 2025.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement publicly or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future developments 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 litigation where Ribbon is the defendant (as described in the Company’s Commitments and Contingencies footnotes in its Form 10-Qs and Form 10-Ks filed with the SEC, 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 are not within its control. Accordingly, the Company believes that excluding 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.
Cybersecurity Incident
The Company has recorded expenses associated with responding to and remediating a cybersecurity incident, including costs for external legal services, cybersecurity experts, and IT restoration activities. The Company believes that excluding these expenses facilitates the comparison of its financial results to its historical operating performance and to other companies in its industry, as these costs are non‑recurring in nature and are not associated with future revenue streams or ongoing operational benefits.
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. In 2025, the Company recorded expense for legal and professional fees associated with contemplated corporate development activities. 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 Company computes its non-GAAP estimated tax rate using its estimated GAAP annual effective tax rate for the period and adjusting for the tax effect of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments. The Company computes a single annual non-GAAP rate for the Company and applying that 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; expenses related to cybersecurity incidents; 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.

DEFSEC Ships New BLISS (“Battlespace Laser Identification Sensor System”) To U.S. Army Yuma Test Center
Published
24 minutes agoon
April 29, 2026By
OTTAWA, ON, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – DEFSEC Technologies Inc. (TSXV: DFSC) (TSXV: DFSC.WT.U) (NASDAQ: DFSC) (NASDAQ: DFSCW) (“DEFSEC” or the “Company”) today confirmed that it has now shipped two new networked BLISSTM systems to the United States Army Yuma Test Center (US Army YTC) for test and evaluation.
The BLISSTM shipment today to the US Army YTC follows delivery of an earlier version, called BLDS (Battlefield Laser Detection System) to the U.S. Army last year for testing and trial activity. BLISSTM is an enhanced, networked version of BLDS as the next step in the evolution of the Company’s technology roadmap for battlespace laser detection and intelligence.
The patent-pending BLISSTM system alerts operators to laser activity across the battlespace, providing critical early warning and valuable seconds to assess, evade, defend, and deploy countermeasures. Miniaturized BLISSTM sensors can be mounted on vehicles and fixed infrastructure, or worn on personnel, to affordably blanket a battlespace with sensors for enhanced survivability and situational awareness and battlespace intelligence in contested environments. It transforms laser warning into shared, actionable battlespace information.
Beyond real-time detection, BLISSTM incorporates enhanced laser pulse signature capture and analysis to help identify the source, intent, and affiliation of detected emissions. By enabling users to distinguish among known signatures, the system supports faster, more informed tactical decisions.
“The BLISSTM system shipped today to Yuma for US Army testing represents a major step forward in tactical-edge force protection and actionable battlespace intelligence for commanders,” said Sean Homuth, President and CEO. “This capability will provide operators with critical time, better information, and a meaningful operational advantage against laser-enabled threats, including those seen in current Middle East conflicts.”
DEFSEC expects to brief domestic and foreign delegations on its BLISS product at Canada’s upcoming annual defence and security show, “CANSEC”, May 27 and 28, 2026, in Ottawa.

Built on a century of heat rejection expertise, the OlympusMAX Fluid Cooler brings a new level of performance in dry and adiabatic cooling. It is available in both adiabatic and dry configurations. The bolt-on adiabatic module can be factory or field installed—or even installed after the equipment is operational in order to provide maximum flexibility in response to changing conditions and site demands.
As global data center density continues to expand, operators are increasingly seeking cooling solutions that balance performance, energy use, water use and operational flexibility. “OlympusMAX reflects our commitment to advancing cooling technology to support the evolving demands of mission-critical facilities,” said Dustan Atkinson, Director of Product Management for SPX Cooling Tech. “By offering scalable dry and adiabatic performance, engineered flexibility and streamlined installation, we’re helping facilities meet increasingly challenging demands while maintaining efficiency and long-term reliability.”
At the heart of the OlympusMAX adiabatic module is a patent-pending recirculating adiabatic design that significantly reduces blowdown, minimizing unnecessary water discharge while improving system efficiency. Unlike traditional once-through or spray systems, the unit’s recirculation technology delivers more uniform water flow across the pad – improving saturation efficiency, extending pad life and reducing mineral accumulation on critical components. The result is more predictable energy and water consumption – a critical advantage for performance-sensitive environments such as hyperscale data centers.
Engineered for uptime, the OlympusMAX features high-efficiency Marley Geareducer® gear drives, robust construction materials and integrated component redundancy, including mission-critical fan and VFD systems. With unit options ranging from 120 to 240 horsepower, the design maximizes cooling capacity per square foot, delivering industry-leading heat rejection density.
Installation and serviceability were key priorities in the system’s development. Each unit ships with a factory-assembled electrical access platform, single-point wiring connection, VFDs and PLC controls pre-installed, and full-size access doors with internal walkways. These features streamline installation while enabling safer operation and easier maintenance.
The launch underscores SPX Cooling Tech’s mission to provide flexible, high-efficiency heat rejection solutions across its full portfolio including dry coolers, adiabatic coolers, evaporative coolers, and cooling towers, ensuring customers have a single-supplier solution tailored to their operational strategy.
