Cambium (CMBM) Beats on Q3 Earnings Despite Supply Chain Woes
Read MoreHide Full Article
Cambium Networks Corporation (CMBM - Free Report) reported relatively modest third-quarter 2021 results with the bottom line beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate despite supply chain headwinds. With solid demand trends and secular growth drivers, the company is likely to witness healthy growth momentum in the remainder of 2021 and beyond.
Net Income
On a GAAP basis, net income in the September quarter was $4.6 million or 16 cents per share compared with $5.6 million or 21 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. The decline despite top-line growth was primarily attributable to higher operating expenses.
Non-GAAP net income came in at $6.7 million or 23 cents per share compared with $7.8 million or 29 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10 cents, delivering a surprise of 76.9%.
Cambium Networks Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Quarterly revenues improved to $75.9 million from $73 million in the year-ago quarter. The growth was driven by solid demand for Point-to-Multi-Point and enterprise Wi-Fi solutions owing to higher demand for capacity extensions and new product introductions, partially offset by lower Point-to-Point revenues from a decline in federal business. Product shipments were adversely impacted by supply chain disruptions. The top line surpassed the consensus estimate of $75 million.
