Read MoreHide Full Article

Cambium Networks Corporation (CMBM - Free Report) reported relatively modest second-quarter 2022 results, with the bottom line beating the Zacks Consensus but the top line missing the same. The company expects to strengthen its technology roadmap and strategy to continue its growth momentum.

Net Income

On a GAAP basis, net income in the June quarter was $2.3 million or 8 cents per share compared with $11.5 million or 40 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. The year-over-year decline was primarily attributable to top-line contraction owing to global supply-chain constraints and lower shipments due to component shortage.

Non-GAAP net income came in at $5 million or 18 cents per share compared with $12.9 million or 45 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 12 cents.

 

Revenues

Quarterly revenues decreased to $69.3 million from $92.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The company was affected by shipments of its products during the first two months of the quarter because of Covid-19 lockdowns in China. The top line missed the consensus estimate of $71 million.

By product category, quarterly revenues at Point-to-Multi-Point came in at $28.3 million compared with $59.8 million a year ago. This was due to continued sluggishness for legacy PMP 450 products from service providers. Point-to-Point revenues increased to $15.7 million from $14.1 million due to higher shipments for PTP products using unlicensed frequencies. Revenues at Wi-Fi increased to $24 million from $18.3 million.

Other Details

Non-GAAP gross profit decreased to $33.9 million from $46.3 million for respective margins of 48.9% and 50%, owing to lower revenues and higher freight and distribution costs caused by expedited shipping. Total operating expenses were $30.8 million compared with $31.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP operating income fell to $6.3 million from $17.5 million for respective margins of 9.1% and 18.9%. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $7.8 million compared with $18.4 million a year ago, for respective margins of 11.3% and 19.9%.
