Management Commentary
Harmonic achieved record quarterly total company revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, with both Broadband and Video revenue exceeding expectations
The strong performance in Broadband demonstrates our ability to scale to our customers' needs and our technology leadership has never been stronger, leaving us well-positioned to take advantage of expected long-term growth in broadband DOCSIS 4.0 and Fiber.
Our prudent 2025 Broadband revenue guidance reflects shifts in customer deployment timing as operators transition to Unified DOCSIS 4.0. These trends are industry-wide and we believe they are short-term in nature.
Overall Sentiment: Positive with caution due to near-term market dynamics related to DOCSIS 4.0 transition, but confident in long-term growth and profitability.
Recommendation
Rating: Hold
Reason for Rating: While the company shows strong recent performance and long-term potential, the short-term headwinds in the broadband segment create uncertainty.
