Adtran Networks SE announces results for Q1 2024
* Quarterly revenues at EUR 109.6 million
* Pro forma EBIT at negative EUR 3.4 million (-3.1% of revenues)
Munich, Germany. May 7, 2024. Adtran Networks SE (ISIN: DE0005103006, FSE:
ADV), a leading provider of open networking solutions for the delivery of
cloud and mobile services, reported financial results for Q1 2024 ended on
March 31, 2024. The results have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Q1 2024 financial summary1
1 Potential difference due to rounding
2 Q1 2024 including EUR 3.7 million, Q4 2023 including EUR 7.8 million, Q1
2023 including EUR 1.6 million extraordinary expenses
3 Q1 2024 including EUR 53.2 million, Q4 2023 including EUR 52.8 million, Q1
2023 including EUR 0 million financial liabilities to Adtran Holdings, Inc..
Q1 2024 furthermore including EUR 4.8 million and Q4 2023 including EUR 13.3
million financial liabilities due to the consideration of a new receivables
purchasing program
Q1 2024 IFRS financial results
Revenue in Q1 2024 was down 7.5% to EUR 109.6 million from EUR 118.5 million
in Q4 2023 and was also down 38.9% compared to EUR 179.4 million in Q1 2023.
The uncertain macroeconomic environment, with higher interest rates and
elevated customer inventory levels impacted customer spending behavior.
Pro forma gross profit in Q1 2024 was down 16.3% to EUR 39.7 million (36.3%
of revenues) from EUR 47.5 million (40.1% of revenues) in Q4 2023 and
decreased by 31.9% from EUR 58.4 million (32.5% of revenues) in Q1 2023. The
year-over-year margin increase was due to lower material costs, and a more
favorable customer and product mix. The sequential margin decline was driven
by the customer and product mix in Q1 2024.
Pro forma EBIT in Q1 2024 was negative EUR 3.7 million (-3.1% of revenues)
compared to EUR 9.3 million (7.8% of revenues) in Q4 2023 and EUR 9.7
million (5.4% of revenues) in Q1 2023 respectively.
Operating loss increased from EUR 1.1 million in Q4 2023 to EUR 8.8 million
in Q1 2024 and from an operating income of EUR 6.2 million in Q1 2023. The
operating loss was in particular due to the lower level of revenues and
extraordinary expenses related to the cost efficiency measures.
Net loss was EUR 1.2 million in Q1 2024, compared to a net loss of EUR 22.7
million in Q4 2023 and to a net income of EUR 3.6 million in Q1 2023. The
substantially lower net loss compared to the operating loss is in particular
due to tax effects from the increased usability of loss carryforwards in
future periods.
The company's cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 2.3 million to EUR
32.9 million compared to EUR 30.6 million at the end of Q4 2023 and
decreased by EUR 24.3 million compared to EUR 67.2 million in Q1 2023.
The company's net debt decreased by EUR 6.4 million from EUR 42.4 million in
Q4 2023 to EUR 36.0 million in Q1 2024 and increased by EUR 11.7 million
from a net debt position of EUR 24.3 million in Q1 2023.
Management commentary
"The significant slowdown in our customers' investment behavior, which was
influenced by the macroeconomic environment and higher interest rates,
combined with the reduction of inventories, continues to present us with
challenges explained Tom Stanton, CEO Adtran Networks SE. "We remain focused
on executing our business efficiency program, and believe that as markets
return to normal, we will be a major beneficiary from the global expansion
of optical networks."
The company will publish its financial results for Q2 2024 on August 6,
2024.
The company is no longer required to and will not publish a three-month 2024
report.
