Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA customers represented 44.9%, 31.5% and 23.6%, respectively, of total net revenue for the quarter ended March 28, 2026.As of March 28, 2026, the Company held $508.0 million in total cash, short-term investments and short-term restricted cash.As of March 28, 2026, the Company had $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.625% Senior Convertible Notes, $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Senior Notes and $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of Term Loan B with a total net carrying value of $1,080.8 million.During the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2026, the Company used $26.3 million of cash in operating activities. This is primarily due to a portion of the contingent consideration payment classified as an operating outflow.

Business Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2026

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 ending June 27, 2026, the Company expects net revenue to be between $427 million to $437 million and non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.29 to $0.31.

With respect to our expectations above, the Company has not reconciled GAAP net income (loss) per share to non-GAAP EPS in this press release because it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate estimate of certain reconciling items described in the “Use of Non-GAAP (Adjusted) Financial Measures” section below and the information is not available without unreasonable effort as a result of the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amounts of certain items, including certain charges related to restructuring, acquisition, integration and related charges. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that may be confusing or misleading to investors.

Conference Call

The Company will discuss these results and other related matters at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time on April 29, 2026 in a live webcast, which will also be archived for replay on the Company’s website at https://investor.viavisolutions.com. The Company will post supplementary slides outlining the Company’s latest financial results on https://investor.viavisolutions.com under the “Quarterly Results” section concurrently with this earnings press release. This press release is being furnished as a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will be available at www.sec.gov.

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. These statements include any expectation, anticipation or guidance as to future financial performance, including future revenue, gross margin, operating expense, operating margin, profitability targets, cash flow and other financial metrics, as well as the impact and duration of certain trends and market position and conditions, including market stabilization and recovery. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. In particular, the Company’s ability to predict future financial performance continues to be difficult due to, among other things: (a) continuing general limited visibility across many of our product lines; (b) quarter-over-quarter product mix fluctuations, which can materially impact profitability measures due to the broad gross margin ranges across our portfolio; (c) consolidations in our industry and customer base; (d) competitive pressures; (e) unforeseen changes or deceleration in the demand for current and new products, technologies, services, delays or unforeseen events in the roll-out of new industry platforms or evolving technology such as 3D sensing and customer purchasing delays due to macroeconomic conditions, tightening of expenditures or as they assess or transition to such new technologies and/or architectures, all of which limit near-term demand visibility, and could negatively impact potential revenue; (f) continued decline of average selling prices across our businesses; (g) notable seasonality and a significant level of in-quarter book-and-ship business; (h) various product and manufacturing transfers, site consolidations, product discontinuances and restructuring and workforce reduction plans, including the number of employees impacted by a restructuring plan, the estimated expenses the Company will recognize, the timing of these payments and expenses, and anticipated cost savings associated with such plans; (i) challenges in execution of business strategy; (j) financial projections and expectations, including profitability of certain business units, synergies, benefits and other matters related to the acquisition of the high-speed ethernet, network security and channel emulation testing business of Spirent Communications plc; (k) challenges integrating the businesses the Company has acquired and realizing all of the expected benefits and savings; (l) supply chain and materials constraints and the ability of our suppliers and contract manufacturers to meet production and delivery requirements to our forecasted demand; (m) potential disruptions or delays to our manufacturing and operations due to climate conditions and natural disasters in the regions where we operate, such as wildfires, drought conditions and related water shortages in Arizona, as well as wildfires in Northern California and related blackouts and power outages in that region; (n) the uncertain and ongoing impact to our supply chain of geopolitical tensions, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the instability in the Middle East, evolving global trade and tariff negotiations and the uncertain tariff landscape, sanctions and other trade measures imposed by domestic and foreign governments, adverse actions and escalating tensions with foreign governments, including China, and the possibility of escalation of “trade wars,” cyber-attacks, and retaliatory measures; (o) the impact of infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics on our financial results, revenues, customer demand, business operations and manufacturing and on the business operations of our customers, contract manufacturers and suppliers; and (p) inherent uncertainty related to global markets, including inflationary pressures, recessions, tightening monetary policy and liquidity, and the effect of such markets on demand for our products. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. For more information on the risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business, please refer to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date thereof and the Company assumes no obligation to update such statements. We have not filed our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2026. As a result, all financial results described in this earnings release should be considered preliminary, and are subject to change to reflect any necessary adjustments or changes in accounting estimates, that are identified prior to the time we file the Form 10-Q.

The preliminary financial schedules are estimated based on our current information.

Use of Non-GAAP (Adjusted) Financial Measures

The Company provides non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS financial measures as supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and believes providing this additional information allows investors to see Company results through the eyes of management, to evaluate more clearly and consistently the Company’s core operational performance and expenses and evaluate the efficacy of the methodology used by management to measure such performance. The Company uses the measures disclosed in this release to evaluate the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses these items to further its own understanding of the Company’s core operating performance, which the Company believes represents its performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes from core operating performance items such as those relating to certain purchase price accounting adjustments, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, amortization expense related to acquisition related inventory step-up, stock-based compensation, legal settlements, restructuring, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, certain investing and acquisition related expenses and other activities and income tax expenses or benefits that management believes are not reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and core operating activities. The non-GAAP adjustments are outlined below. 

Cost of revenues, costs of research and development and costs of selling, general and administrative: The Company’s GAAP presentation of gross margin and operating expenses may include (i) additional depreciation and amortization from changes in estimated useful life and the write-down of certain property, plant and equipment and intangibles, (ii) charges such as severance, benefits and outplacement costs related to restructuring plans with a specific and defined term, (iii) costs for facilities not required for ongoing operations, and costs related to the relocation of certain equipment from these facilities and/or contract manufacturer facilities, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) amortization expense related to acquired intangibles, (vi) amortization expense related to acquisition related inventory step-up, (vii) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, (viii) acquisition related transaction and integration costs related to acquired entities, (ix) significant legal settlements and other contingencies and (x) other charges unrelated to our core operating performance comprised mainly of other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations, including transformational initiatives such as the implementation of simplified automated processes, site consolidations, and reorganizations. The Company excludes these items in calculating non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.

Non-cash interest expense and other expense: The Company excludes certain expenses, including loss on debt extinguishment, accretion of debt discount, and other non-cash activities that management believes are not reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and core operating activities, when calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.

Income tax expense or benefit: The Company excludes certain non-cash tax expense or benefit items, such as (i) the utilization of net operating losses (NOLs) where valuation allowances were released, (ii) intra-period tax allocation benefit and (iii) the tax effect for amortization of non-tax deductible intangible assets, in calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, preferable to, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income is operating income. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating margin is operating margin. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income is net income. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP EPS is earnings per share.

BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DREO, a global smart home brand, today unveiled its latest innovations at IFA 2026, including a new Air Purifier lineup led by the flagship DREO Air Purifier 530S, DREO Air Intelligence, an AI-powered system for home air management, and its latest heating technologies. Under the theme “AIR, Mastered,” DREO is showcasing its vision for making home air more intelligent, with products and technologies designed to better sense indoor environments, adapt to changing conditions and deliver more personalized comfort experiences.

“For years, DREO has focused on advancing air comfort through stronger performance, thoughtful product design and seamless connectivity,” said Olivia Xu, Chief Marketing Officer at DREO. “Today marks the next step in that journey. We believe the future of home comfort will not be defined by smarter individual products alone, but by continuously rethinking how people experience air in everyday life. From purification and heating to intelligent home air management, every innovation we introduce is designed to make home comfort more intuitive, adaptive and personal.”

New Flagship DREO Air Purifier 530S with TurboPure™ Technology Delivers a More Intuitive Purification Experience

Leading DREO’s new air purification lineup, the flagship DREO Air Purifier 530S is built around the Ultimate TurboPure™ Purification System. Combining an all-new airflow system, 3-in-1 HEPA Pro filtration, intelligent sensing and AI-powered RGBIC lighting, the DREO Air Purifier 530S delivers powerful purification while creating a more intuitive way for users to understand and interact with indoor air quality.

All-new airflow system. The Air Purifier 530S features an elevated design that creates true 360° air intake, helping capture dust and pet hair closer to the floor. A newly developed spiral intake guides incoming air in the same rotational direction as the impeller, reducing turbulence before it reaches the fan. Clean air is then released evenly through a 360° outlet to improve circulation throughout the room.3-in-1 HEPA Pro filtration. A True HEPA filter captures 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 μm under the IEST standard, while the replaceable FiberCatch™ layer traps larger debris including dust and hair for easier maintenance. The filtration system also incorporates 130 g of modified activated carbon, four times the capacity of the previous generation, to improve odor removal from pets, cooking and everyday indoor living.Intelligent sensing and visibility. The Air Purifier 530S integrates a real-time PM2.5 sensor with Auto Mode to continuously monitor indoor air quality and automatically adjust purification performance. An AI-powered RGBIC light ring visualizes changes in air quality from anywhere in the room while also supporting personalized lighting effects, combining functional feedback with ambient home aesthetics.

Independently verified by AHAM, the DREO Air Purifier 530S delivers a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 221 m³/h, covering approximately 19 m² at 4.8 air changes per hour or spaces up to 90 m² at one air change per hour. With HyperSilent™ Technology, noise levels are reduced to as low as 18 dB in Sleep Mode, enabling quiet operation in bedrooms and during overnight use.

The DREO Air Purifier 530S also supports smart control through the DREO App, Amazon Alexa and Google Home, enabling users to remotely manage purification, create schedules with minute-level precision and review up to 30 days of air quality history. An intelligent filter life algorithm estimates replacement timing based on actual air quality, fan speed and usage, helping simplify everyday maintenance.

Alongside the DREO Air Purifier 530S, DREO is also showcasing the DREO Air Purifier 539S, DREO Air Purifier 539AS, DREO Air Purifier 338S and DREO Air Purifier Macro Max AS, offering solutions for different room sizes and home environments across the European market.

DREO Air Intelligence Advances Home Wellness Through AI and Connected Air Comfort

Beyond its latest product innovations, DREO is introducing DREO Air Intelligence, an AI-powered air system designed to make home wellness more adaptive through AI and connected air comfort. Rather than relying solely on preset routines, DREO Air Intelligence combines physical comfort models with internationally recognized PMV/PPD thermal comfort science to understand changing home environments, interpret multiple environmental signals and intelligently coordinate compatible DREO air comfort products. By connecting environmental sensing, intelligent decision-making and device coordination, DREO Air Intelligence enables air products to respond more naturally to people’s changing needs at home.

DREO Air Intelligence is built around three core experiences:

Home Wellness Score: Combines thermal comfort, air quality, rest environment and water-related wellness signals into a single score from 0 to 100, giving users an at-a-glance understanding of their home environment and clear visibility into areas that may need attention. Thermal comfort is evaluated using internationally recognized PMV/PPD models, going beyond raw temperature to estimate how a room actually feels by accounting for humidity, airflow, activity level and clothing factors.Energy Saving Status: Uses AI optimization to intelligently adjust device operation and compare energy consumption with and without AI optimization. Results are presented in terms of electricity saved, estimated cost savings and reduced carbon emissions, making energy efficiency more visible, measurable and easier to understand.Home Air Pilot: Continuously monitors changes in the home environment, analyzes surrounding conditions and intelligently coordinates compatible DREO air comfort products to optimize comfort, air quality and energy efficiency. When the system can make reliable decisions, Home Air Pilot proactively adjusts device operation. When personal preferences are involved, users remain fully in control.

Designed with an open ecosystem in mind, DREO Air Intelligence supports Matter-enabled devices, allowing compatible products to work together more seamlessly across the connected home. As DREO continues to expand its connected ecosystem, DREO Air Intelligence represents the company’s vision for making home wellness more adaptive through AI and connected air comfort.

Next-Generation Heating Technologies Introduce Adaptive Airflow for Home Heating

DREO showcased its latest heating technologies, led by AutoShift™ Technology, a new airflow innovation built around an adaptive lifting structure that automatically raises and lowers the upper air guide to transition between Focused Heating and 360° Whole-Room Heating. By physically changing how warm air is delivered, AutoShift™ enables a single heating system to adapt to different heating scenarios, providing concentrated warmth for personal comfort or balanced heat distribution throughout the room without requiring users to manually switch between different heating modes.

The adaptive lifting structure works together with a newly developed airflow architecture to continuously reshape airflow as it moves, creating two distinct heating experiences within a single system. The result is a more responsive approach to home heating that adapts naturally to different spaces, activities and everyday routines, while maintaining consistent heating performance throughout each transition.

DREO also showcased its latest fanless convection heating technology, extending its heating innovation with a quieter solution designed to deliver more even and longer-lasting warmth through natural heat circulation. Together, these latest heating technologies reflect DREO’s continued focus on advancing airflow innovation to create more adaptive home comfort experiences.

DREO Brings Industry Leaders Together to Explore the Future of Home Wellness

As part of its “AIR, Mastered” showcase at IFA 2026, DREO hosted the IFA Dream Stage panel, “How Air, Connectivity and Intelligence Bridge the Last Mile of Home Wellness,” bringing together leaders from the connectivity, smart home and digital health industries to explore how AI, open ecosystems and intelligent air management can create more adaptive and human-centered home wellness experiences.

Moderated by Anna Heim, Freelance Journalist and Moderator at TechCrunch, the discussion featured Tobin Richardson, President and CEO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), Martin Müller, Sales Director and General Manager, Europe at DREO, and Spiros Andreou, Head of Global Industry & Technology Partnerships at Polar. Together, the panel explored how the industry can move beyond basic device connectivity toward intelligent systems that better understand home environments, coordinate across devices and respond to people’s everyday needs.

Highlighting DREO’s vision for the future of home wellness, Martin Müller said, “People rarely think about the air around them until something feels wrong. Yet it influences how we sleep, work, recover and live every day. The future of home wellness begins with making air more intelligent.”

The panel also highlighted the importance of open interoperability and cross-industry collaboration in enabling the next generation of connected home experiences. Richardson emphasized that Matter provides a foundation for devices to work together seamlessly, allowing the industry to focus on creating better user experiences rather than simply connecting products. Andreou added that bringing together environmental intelligence and physiological insights creates new opportunities to better understand people’s everyday wellbeing and deliver more personalized home wellness experiences.

The discussion reflects DREO’s continued commitment to working with industry partners to advance a more open, intelligent and connected future for home wellness.

DREO Continues to Expand Its Presence Across Europe

Europe has become one of DREO’s fastest-growing markets, with sales volume increasing 142% year over year in the first half of 2026 and revenue growing 156%, further strengthening the company’s momentum across key markets including Germany, the United Kingdom and France.

The United Kingdom has become one of DREO’s strongest-performing markets, where the company has ranked No. 1 on Amazon UK in both the Tower Fan and Space Heater categories for two consecutive years, accounting for 22% of the Amazon UK tower fan market and 15% of the space heater market. Building on its online success, DREO expanded into offline retail through Argos in 2025 and has since built a retail and online network spanning 71 channels across 16 European countries. Key retail partners across major European markets include Argos, Costco UK, Currys and Boots in the UK; Expert, Euronics and MediaMarkt in Germany; Fnac Darty and Leroy Merlin in France; Fnac, Leroy Merlin, MediaMarkt and Bauhaus in Spain; and Euronics, MediaWorld and Unieuro in Italy.

“Europe continues to be one of DREO’s most important growth markets,” said Martin Müller, Sales Director and General Manager, Europe at DREO. “We remain committed to investing in product innovation, local partnerships and long-term market development to deliver intelligent air comfort experiences that better serve European consumers.”

Building on this momentum, DREO will continue expanding its European business through product innovation, broader retail availability and a growing connected ecosystem, further advancing its vision of intelligent home wellness powered by DREO Air Intelligence.
