Financial Overview
−Removed: During the three months ended September 28, 2025, our net revenue increased by $1.7 million, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a $12.3 million increase in the Enterprise segment, partially offset by a $5.5 million decline in the Mobile segment and a $5.1 million decline in the Home Networking segment.
−Removed: The increase in Enterprise net revenue was mainly attributable to continued strong demand for Pro AV product line of managed switches, which achieved double-digit end-market sales growth, benefiting from higher average selling prices and increased unit volumes.
−Removed: The decline in the Mobile
−Removed: segment was mainly due to lower service provider channel sales.
−Removed: The decline in the Home Networking segment was primarily due to a reduction in market share amid increased competition.
−Removed: Gross margin improved by 820 basis points year-over-year, primarily due to a favorable product mix weighted toward Enterprise and lower inventory costs resulting from the depletion of older, higher-cost inventory.
−Removed: These improvements, along with higher net revenue, partially offset the operating loss for the current period.
−Removed: We recorded an operating loss of $7.1 million, compared to operating income of $95.8 million in the prior year period.
−Removed: The change was mainly attributable to the payment received from the successful settlement of TP-Link litigation in the prior year, which resulted in the recognition of a $92.7 million contra-expense in litigation reserves, the reversal of an $8.2 million contingent liability for success-based legal fees, and a $10.9 million reduction in general and administrative expenses to offset the related legal fees incurred.
−Removed: Additionally, we incurred higher facility-related costs in the current quarter associated with the completion of our relocation to the new San Jose headquarters.
−Removed: Geographically, net revenue from Enterprise segment increased in all three regions, while net revenue from Mobile segment slightly increased in EMEA but decreased in Americas and APAC, and net revenue from Home Networking segment declined in all three regions, during the three months ended September 28, 2025, compared to the prior year period, respectively.
+Added: During the three months ended March 29, 2026, our net revenue decreased by $3.2 million, or 2.0%, compared to the prior year period, driven by a $7.8 million, or 9.5%, decrease in our Consumer segment, partially offset by a $4.6 million, or 5.8%, increase in our Enterprise segment.
+Added: The decrease in Consumer net revenue reflected a 31.9% decline in sales of our service provider and related products, consistent with our strategy of harvesting this business.
+Added: It also reflected continued softness in the broader home networking retail market, attributable in part to electronics pricing pressures from rising memory costs.
+Added: In light of these conditions, we have been prioritizing gross profit over revenue growth in our Consumer business.
+Added: These declines were partially offset by growth in our core consumer business, led by our premium WiFi 7 portfolio.
+Added: The increase in Enterprise net revenue was mainly attributable to continued strong demand for our Pro AV product line of managed switches, which experienced double-digit end-market sales growth in the Americas and EMEA regions, benefiting from higher average selling prices and increased unit volumes.
+Added: Gross margin improved by 570 basis points year-over-year to 40.5%, primarily driven by margin expansion in both segments, a higher revenue mix from our higher-margin Enterprise segment and lower sales returns within our consumer business.
+Added: We recorded an operating loss of $13.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $12.8 million in the prior year period, as the gross margin improvement was partially offset by higher operating expenses, mainly driven by higher headcount and related investments as we continue to focus on and shift resources toward growing our Enterprise business.
+Added: Geographically, net revenue from our Enterprise segment increased in Americas and EMEA and slightly decreased in APAC, while net revenue from our Consumer segment declined in Americas and APAC and slightly increased in EMEA, during the three months ended March 29, 2026, compared to the prior year period.
