PALO ALTO, Calif., June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Broadcom Inc. (Nasdaq: AVGO), a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended May 3, 2026, provided guidance for its third quarter of fiscal year 2026 and announced its quarterly dividend.

“Broadcom achieved record revenue, operating profit and free cash flow in Q2 driven by accelerating growth in AI semiconductor revenue and strong operating leverage. Q2 semiconductor revenue from AI of $10.8 billion grew 143% year-over-year, above our forecast, driven by increasing demand for custom AI accelerators and AI networking,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom Inc. “The momentum continues and in Q3 we expect semiconductor revenue from AI to grow over 200 percent year-over-year to $16.0 billion.” 

“Q2 consolidated revenue grew 48% year-over-year to a record $22.2 billion. Adjusted EBITDA increased 52% year-over-year to a record $15.2 billion, representing 69% of revenue,” said Kirsten Spears, CFO of Broadcom Inc. “In Q3 we expect consolidated revenue growth to increase 84% year-over-year to $29.4 billion, with non-GAAP operating margin stable at 67% reflecting our strong operating leverage.” 

(1) The Company is not readily able to provide a reconciliation of projected non-GAAP financial measures presented to the relevant projected GAAP measures without unreasonable effort.

The differences between the Company’s GAAP and non-GAAP results are described generally under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and presented in detail in the financial reconciliation tables attached to this release.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Business Outlook

Based on current business trends and conditions, the outlook for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, ending August 2, 2026, is expected to be as follows:

Third quarter revenue guidance of approximately $29.4 billion;Third quarter non-GAAP operating income guidance of approximately 67 percent of projected revenue;Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA guidance of approximately 68 percent of projected revenue.

The guidance provided above is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release. The Company is not readily able to provide a reconciliation of projected non-GAAP financial measures to the relevant projected GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Actual results will vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. The Company undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Financial Results Conference Call

Broadcom Inc. will host a conference call to review its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 and to discuss the business outlook today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

To Listen via Internet: The conference call can be accessed live online in the Investors section of the Broadcom website at https://investors.broadcom.com/.

Replay: An audio replay of the conference call can be accessed for one year through the Investors section of Broadcom’s website at https://investors.broadcom.com/.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. When possible, a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release. The Company is not readily able to provide a reconciliation of projected non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Broadcom believes non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company’s on-going performance. Therefore, Broadcom provides this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company’s on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons.   

In addition to GAAP reporting, Broadcom provides investors with net income, operating income, gross margin, operating expenses, cash flow and other data on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related costs, including integration costs, non-GAAP tax reconciling adjustments, and other adjustments. Management does not believe that these items are reflective of the Company’s underlying performance. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are significant measures used by management for purposes of evaluating the core operating performance of the Company, establishing internal budgets, calculating return on investment for development programs and growth initiatives, comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models, strategic planning, evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates and how their operations compare to the Company’s operations, and benchmarking performance externally against the Company’s competitors. The exclusion of these and other similar items from Broadcom’s non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

Free cash flow measures have limitations as they omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Investors should not consider presentation of free cash flow measures as implying that stockholders have any right to such cash. Broadcom’s free cash flow may not be calculated in a manner comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.

BinBase Releases 2026 BIN Data Updates for Subscriptions, Digital Wallet Tokens, and Dynamic Currency Conversion

Published

on

By

BinBase enhances its 2026 dataset with Apple/Google Pay token range identification, Direct Debit attributes, and default ISO currency codes to optimize recurring billing and reduce SaaS churn.

MIAMI, July 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a global provider of payment intelligence and card issuing data, has announced the rollout of specialized subscription and digital wallet attributes within its updated 2026 BIN Database. Engineered for SaaS platforms, recurring billing engines, and cross-border digital merchants, the new dataset addresses silent transaction declines and involuntary churn in recurring revenue models.

As consumer payment preferences shift heavily toward mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, payment gateways frequently encounter Tokenized Device Account Numbers (DPANs) rather than traditional primary account numbers (PANs). Without updated token-range BIN mapping, recurring billing engines fail to recognize underlying issuer capabilities, leading to unexpected declines during subscription renewals.

The 2026 BinBase release resolves these recurring billing challenges through specific data attributes:

Tokenized Range Identification: Dedicated indicators for Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Network Tokens, allowing subscription engines to maintain seamless recurring billing authorization paths.Direct Debit & Pull-Funds Support (Pull Dom): Indicators for recurring debit eligibility, helping subscription platforms optimize automated bank-direct collections.Default ISO Currency Mapping: Precise issuing country currency codes to eliminate friction during Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) and prevent cross-border fee surprises for subscribers.Card Tier & Category Precision: Granular identification of premium, rewards, and corporate card ranges to help merchants customize retry logic and billing schedules based on cardholder profiles.

“Involuntary churn is the silent killer of subscription businesses,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “When a recurring billing charge fails due to misidentified token ranges or currency conversion errors, merchants lose lifetime value. Our 2026 update provides software engineers with the data precision required to maximize subscription authorization rates and protect recurring revenue.”

Software architects and billing platform developers can evaluate the complete 29-field schema and download a free 2026 sample dataset on GitHub.

About Damiko Inc

Damiko Inc is a US-based fintech data provider specializing in card issuer analytics, payment routing data, and global BIN database solutions. Operating through its flagship product, BinBase.com, the company supplies high-precision transaction intelligence to help merchants and payment facilitators worldwide optimize approval rates and mitigate processing fees.

Ookla Study in Manila: Carrier VoLTE Networks Prove to Outperform OTT Apps in Voice Quality and Reliability

Published

on

By

MANILA, Philippines, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ookla’s comprehensive controlled network test reveals that traditional mobile operator networks deliver a measurably superior voice experience compared to Over-the-Top (OTT) applications like WhatsApp, particularly in critical areas such as audio fidelity, weak signal resilience, and call reliability.

The study, which evaluated the networks of the Philippines’ three major mobile operators—Smart Communications, Globe Telecom, and DITO Telecommunity, demonstrates that carrier-managed VoLTE infrastructure remains the gold standard for consistent, high-quality communication, outperforming OTT voice services.

Operator Voice Deliver Consistent HD Audio, OTT Apps Only Offer Fair Quality

The research found a distinct quality gap in audio performance. While operator voice calls consistently delivered HD-grade audio quality—rated “Good”(scoring > 4.0) to “Excellent” (scoring > 4.3) across all three networks, OTT voice calls were rated only as “Fair” (scoring < 4.0). Smart and DITO achieved higher MOS scores than Globe by deploying the advanced EVS codec, which offers superior audio fidelity over Globe’s AMR-WB.

Conversely, this gap exists because OTT apps treat voice as generic data packets, vulnerable to the internet’s “best-effort” delivery. Even with operator network optimizations, OTT voice lacks the stringent Quality of Connection (QoC) guarantees. Under network stress—such as congestion, weak coverage, high packet loss, or significant jitter—OTT audio degrades noticeably. In contrast, VoLTE leverages exclusive high-priority cellular bearers to safeguard voice quality.

Operator Voice Sustains HD Quality in Weak Coverage While OTT Calls Degrade

The performance gap widens significantly at the cell edge, where signal strength is low. Under moderate-to-low RF coverage conditions (RSRP ≤ -100 dBm), operator-managed VoLTE calls maintained HD-grade clarity.

Conversely, OTT calls degraded further, slipping from “Fair” into the “Poor” (scoring < 3.6) and “Bad” (scoring < 3) ranges. This is a critical finding for consumers in areas with obstructed signals or far from cell sites, proving that dedicated voice bearers protect call quality where best-effort data (used by OTT) cannot.

VoLTE Delivers More Reliable Call Connections Than OTT

Reliability is another key differentiator. The study shows that VoLTE has significantly lower block rates (call setup failure rates) than OTT services. For instance, Globe recorded the lowest VoLTE block rate at 0.47%, versus its OTT rate of 1.64%. This trend was consistent across operators, highlighting that the dedicated signaling protocols of VoLTE (like optimized SIP and SRVCC) provide a more robust connection experience than OTT’s best-effort data model.

The Path Forward: Building a Solid VoLTE Foundation for AI-Driven Voice

As Philippine NTC mandates the 3G sunset by December 2026, the industry must prioritize comprehensive VoLTE coverage and user migration. Looking ahead, the convergence of voice and AI stands as the industry’s definitive future trend. However, a high- performance VoLTE network is the vital prerequisite for this shift. Operators should continuously refine their VoLTE infrastructure, laying a solid foundation to seamlessly integrate voice with AI and unlock the next generation of intelligent calling experiences.
