Extreme Networks Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme”) (Nasdaq: EXTR) today released financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

“We closed Fiscal 2026 delivering 13% year-over-year revenue growth, and the fourth quarter marked our sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. These results are fueled by accelerating demand for our AI platform, a differentiated portfolio, strong execution, and broad product availability. This quarter further validates the competitive advantages we’ve created through our innovation, nimbleness, and supply chain leadership. We’re winning more competitive deals, expanding with larger enterprises, and gaining share across our target markets. In Fiscal 2026, 187 customers ordered over one million dollars of Extreme solutions,” said Ed Meyercord, President and CEO of Extreme.

“Extreme Platform ONE™ reached over 30% of our subscription bookings in its first year of availability and doubled quarter-over-quarter in the fourth quarter. Each quarter, we’re adding new features like advanced security, AI-powered automation, and support for third-party solutions. And we’re winning competitive opportunities because customers recognize we’re building the platform they’ll standardize on now and well into the future,” said Meyercord.

Kevin Rhodes, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “The fourth quarter marked our ninth consecutive quarter of sequential product revenue growth and our third consecutive quarter of gross margin improvement, translating into operating leverage. With our supply secured into Fiscal 2028, we have broad product availability to meet growing demand. The targeted pricing actions we implemented are successfully offsetting the incremental supply chain costs the industry is facing and provide increased confidence and visibility into our margin outlook. Looking ahead at Fiscal 2027, we continue to expect double-digit product revenue growth and continued solid gross margin driving strong EPS growth.”

Recent Key Highlights:

  • At Extreme Connect in May, we demonstrated the pace of innovation that sets Extreme apart, unveiling major new capabilities to nearly 800 customers and partners. We expanded Extreme Platform ONE with capabilities that simplify operations, strengthen security, and make adoption easier, while introducing Agent ONE to move customers from AI-assisted networking to AI-driven and autonomous operations.

  • Extreme expanded its portfolio of Wi-Fi 7 Access Points introducing the AP5060, AP5022, AP3020, and AP3060, all engineered to power seamless connectivity for critical applications including real-time AI workloads, AR/VR experiences, smart manufacturing, telehealth, and high-density venues.

  • The Tennessee Titans selected Extreme to power the new Nissan Stadium with Wi-Fi 7 and the industry’s first Multi-Beam Wireless technology. Enabled by Extreme’s strategic partnership with MatSing, the solution delivers unprecedented coverage and capacity with dramatically less infrastructure, creating a next-generation fan and operational experience.

  • Extreme secured the largest win in Australia in company history as the University of Technology Sydney selected Extreme’s AI-powered wired and wireless networking, managed through Extreme Platform ONE, to build a smarter, more secure, and resilient campus. Extreme worked with Nexon Asia Pacific on the deal and the deployment will simplify operations, strengthen security, support uninterrupted teaching and collaboration, and scale for future growth.

  • A top 10 global retailer headquartered in Europe selected Extreme Platform ONE to bring AI-driven automation to one of the world’s largest retail networks. By leveraging AI to proactively identify issues, automate routine operations, and accelerate troubleshooting, the company can reduce operational complexity, improve network resilience, and free IT teams to focus on higher-value initiatives that enhance the customer and associate experience.

  • The University of Florida will deploy the first-ever Wi-Fi 7 network in a collegiate stadium at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Beyond enhancing the fan experience, Extreme Wi‑Fi 7 supports more reliable staff communications, faster point-of-sale transactions, enhanced security through HD video and AI-driven monitoring, and seamless integration of IoT technologies such as smart sensors, digital signage, and automated systems.

  • Elisabeth-TweeSteden Hospital (ETZ), one of the largest hospitals in the Netherlands, expanded its investment in Extreme to power the network behind a major hospital transformation. As ETZ modernizes its campus, Extreme Platform ONE and Extreme Fabric will deliver the resilient, automated connectivity needed to seamlessly transition services while maintaining uninterrupted patient care.

  • Nottingham City Council selected Extreme to replace a major competitor with a unified Fabric, SD-WAN, and cloud-managed networking solution spanning 74 sites. The win highlights the competitive differentiation of Extreme’s end-to-end networking portfolio and reinforces the company’s momentum in the strategic government sector while delivering customers a simpler, more resilient, and easier-to-manage network.

Extreme uses the non-GAAP free cash flow metric as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow represents GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software development costs. Extreme considers free cash flow to be useful information for management and investors regarding the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software development costs, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Extreme’s business, make strategic acquisitions, and strengthen the balance sheet. A limitation of the utility of this non-GAAP free cash flow metric as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company’s cash balance for the period. The following table shows the non-GAAP free cash flow calculation (in millions):

SaaS ARR: SaaS ARR is an operating metric used by management to measure the annualized value of customer arrangements for our software solutions, which are delivered via cloud-based subscription (such as Extreme Platform ONE, generally available July 2025 and ExtremeCloud IQ) or term-based software deployed on-premises by the customer. We include term-based license arrangements in SaaS ARR because they provide time-bound access to our software solutions and are operationally and economically similar to our cloud-based subscriptions, even though they are accounted for differently under U.S. GAAP.

SaaS ARR is calculated using the annualized value of quarterly subscription revenue plus the trailing twelve months of the software license portion of term-based license arrangements, which includes revenue recognized during the applicable period with respect to multi-year term-based license arrangements. The Company has not adjusted SaaS ARR to allocate revenue from these multi-year term-based license arrangements over their contractual term because they have historically been immaterial to SaaS ARR and doing so would not be expected to materially affect reported SaaS ARR or related growth rates. For those software solutions that include embedded support as part of a bundled offering, including Extreme Platform ONE and term-based license arrangements, the quarterly revenue recognized in the period with respect to the support portion of the offering is annualized and included in SaaS ARR.

SaaS ARR excludes perpetual licenses, professional services revenue, support revenue associated with hardware or standalone maintenance contracts, and other non-recurring or non-subscription revenue streams. Management evaluates and manages support revenues from maintenance contracts primarily through analysis of the related GAAP revenue trends, renewal activity, and customer support operations, together with broader business performance indicators, rather than through a single standalone metric, in part due to the Company’s go-to-market model in which many customers transact through distributors and resellers, limiting consistent visibility into end-customer usage and renewals.

Management uses SaaS ARR to evaluate the scale and trajectory of the Company’s subscription-based offerings and progress against customer adoption initiatives. We believe this metric is useful to investors for the same reasons, as it provides insight into our ability to acquire new customers and to maintain and expand our existing customer relationships. SaaS ARR should be considered independently of revenue or deferred revenue under U.S. GAAP, does not have a standardized meaning, and is not a substitute for, or a forecast of, revenue.

Gross debt: Gross debt is defined as long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt as shown on the balance sheet plus unamortized debt issuance costs, if any.

Net cash: is defined as cash and cash equivalents minus gross debt, as shown in the table below (in millions):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Extreme provides all financial information required in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company is providing with this press release non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA (calculated as GAAP net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as costs or benefits that are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing or expected future operational performance as noted below), net cash and free cash flow. In preparing non-GAAP information, the Company has excluded, where applicable, the impact of share-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges (benefit), system transition costs, litigation charges, other non-recurring costs, debt refinancing charges and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. The Company believes that excluding these items provides both management and investors with additional insight into its current operations, the trends affecting the Company, the Company’s marketplace performance, and the Company’s ability to generate cash from operations. Please note the Company’s non-GAAP measures may be different than those used by other companies.

Extreme Networks, Inc.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Extreme uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA (calculated as GAAP net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as costs or benefits that are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing or expected future operational performance as noted below), net cash and free cash flow.

Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included with this press release.

Non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not in accordance with or alternative measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Extreme’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Extreme’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Extreme believes these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, enhance investors’ and management’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and the Company’s prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance stockholder value. In addition, because Extreme has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company’s financial reporting.

For its internal planning process, and as discussed further below, Extreme’s management uses financial statements that do not include share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges (benefit), system transition costs, litigation charges, other non-recurring costs, debt refinancing charges, and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. Extreme’s management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company’s financial results.

As described above, Extreme excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable.

Share-based compensation. Share-based compensation consists of associated expenses for stock options, restricted stock awards and the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Extreme excludes share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing cash requirement related to its operating results. Extreme expects to incur share-based compensation expenses in future periods.

Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles includes the monthly amortization expense of intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships and trademarks. The amortization of the developed technology is recorded in cost of goods sold, while the amortization for the other intangibles is recorded in operating expenses. Extreme excludes these expenses since they result from an intangible asset and for which the period expense does not impact the operations of the business and are non-cash in nature.

Restructuring and related charges (benefit). Restructuring and related charges (benefit) consist of severance costs for employees, asset disposal costs and other charges related to excess facilities that do not provide economic benefit to our future operations. Extreme excludes restructuring expenses since they result from events that occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations.

System transition costs. System transition costs consist of costs related to direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our multi-phase transition of enterprise-wide business systems (e.g., our customer relationship management solution, our configure, price, quote solution, and our enterprise resource planning and human capital management solutions) that were not capitalizable. Extreme excludes these costs because we believe that these costs do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amount and frequency, making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance.

Litigation charges. Litigation charges consist of estimated settlement and related legal expenses for non-recurring litigations offset by any proceeds received or expected to be received from insurance.

Debt refinancing charges. Debt refinancing charges consist of costs that were not capitalizable and are included in other expense, net, incurred in connection with amendments to, refinancings of, or terminations of the Company’s current and prior credit facilities. Extreme excludes these amounts because they are incurred in connection with discrete financing transactions rather than the ongoing operation of the Company’s business.

Other non-recurring costs. Other non-recurring costs consist of certain external advisory and professional fees incurred for various non-recurring transactions and activities that occur outside of the normal course of business. Extreme excludes these costs because we believe that these costs do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amount and frequency, making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance.

Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. We calculate our non-GAAP provision for income taxes in accordance with the SEC guidance on non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation. We have assumed our U.S. federal and state net operating losses would have been fully consumed by the historical non-GAAP financial adjustments, eliminating the need for a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets which, consequently, enables our use of research and development tax credits. The non-GAAP tax provision consists of current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability using our blended U.S. statutory tax rate of 24.6%.

The non-GAAP provision for income taxes has typically been and is currently higher than the GAAP provision given the Company has a valuation allowance against its US deferred tax assets due to historical losses. Once this valuation allowance is released, the non-GAAP and the GAAP provision for income taxes will be more closely aligned.

Over the next year, our cash taxes will be driven by US federal and state income taxes and the tax expense of our foreign subsidiaries, which amounts have not historically been significant, with the exception of the Company’s Canadian, German and Indian subsidiaries which perform research and development and sales and marketing activities for the Company, as well as the Company’s Irish trading subsidiaries.
