**Plano, TX** – **<u>Ribbon Communications Inc.</u>** (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global provider of real time communications technology and IP optical networking solutions to many of the world's largest service providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure operators to modernize and protect their networks, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $234 million, compared to $231 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $207 million for the third quarter of 2022. Revenue for full year 2022 was $820 million, compared to $845 million for full year 2021.

"I am very pleased to report solid financial results for the fourth quarter 2022 - the best quarter of the year for Ribbon. Our overall sales were above the mid-point of our guidance, and adjusted EBITDA grew 25% quarter-over-quarter and 11% year-over-year. Product and Service Bookings were once again very good and exceeded the higher sales level in the quarter," stated Bruce McClelland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ribbon Communications.

McClelland continued, "The highlight of our quarter includes continued improvement in our IP Optical business, with increased sales across all regions and multiple new customer wins. In particular, momentum continued in our IP Routing portfolio with sales increasing 34% year-over-year, which is expected to only get stronger as we roll out new product offerings this year. In addition, the Cloud and Edge segment continued to post positive results, with strong Enterprise and SBC sales in the quarter."

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $67 million at December 31, 2022.

"We are very encouraged with revenue and bookings momentum to close out the year and with the cash generation of the company during the quarter. Operating expenses were $5 million lower in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of the prior year, and we expect to continue reducing our operating costs in 2023," said Mick Lopez, Chief Financial Officer of Ribbon Communications.

![](tm236917d1_ex99-1img001.jpg)

**Business Outlook<sup>1</sup>**

For 2023, the Company expects to build on the momentum from the second half of 2022, with a stronger portfolio and market presence, and to follow a normal seasonal pattern with the business accelerating as the year progresses.

For the first quarter of 2023, the Company projects revenue of $180 million to $190 million, up 7% year-over-year at the mid-point, constrained by a small number of specific supply chain shortages. Non-GAAP gross margin is projected in a range of 46% to 48%, lower than typical as a result of higher start-up costs associated with several new customer wins and product mix. Adjusted EBITDA is projected in a range of ($6) million to $1 million.

For the full year 2023, the Company projects revenue of $840 million to $870 million, up 4% year-over-year at the mid-point, non-GAAP gross margin of 53% to 54%, and Adjusted EBITDA of $95 million to $110 million, up 60% year-over-year at the mid-point. The Company's outlook is based on current indications for its business, which are subject to change.

![](tm236917d1_ex99-1img001.jpg)

**Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

The Company's management uses several different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of its business, making operating decisions, planning and forecasting future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. The Company considers the use of non-GAAP financial measures helpful in assessing the core performance of its continuing operations and when planning and forecasting future periods. The Company's annual financial plan is prepared on a non-GAAP basis and is approved by its board of directors. In addition, budgeting and forecasting for revenue and expenses are conducted on a non-GAAP basis, and actual results on a non-GAAP basis are assessed against the annual financial plan. The Company defines continuing operations as the ongoing results of its business adjusted for certain expenses and credits, as described below. The Company believes that providing non-GAAP information to investors will allow investors to view the financial results in the way its management views them and helps investors to better understand the Company's core financial and operating performance and evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by its management to evaluate and measure such performance.

While the Company's management uses non-GAAP financial measures as tools to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of the Company's financial performance, its management does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures. In addition, the Company's presentations of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives for, or in isolation from, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, many of the adjustments to the Company's financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in its financial results for the foreseeable future.

*Stock-Based Compensation*

The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP operating results that exclude stock-based compensation provides investors with visibility and insight into its management's method of analysis and its core operating performance.

*Amortization of Acquired Technology (including software licenses); Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets*

Amortization amounts are inconsistent in frequency and amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions. Amortization of acquired technology is reported separately within Cost of revenue and Amortization of acquired intangible assets is reported separately within Operating expenses. These items are reported collectively as Amortization of acquired intangible assets in the accompanying reconciliations of non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that excluding non-cash amortization of these intangible assets facilitates the comparison of its financial results to its historical operating results and to other companies in its industry as if the acquired intangible assets had been developed internally rather than acquired.

*Impairment of Goodwill*

The Company performs its annual testing for impairment of goodwill in the fourth quarter each year. For the purpose of testing goodwill for impairment, all goodwill has been assigned to one of the Company's two operating segments. The Company performs a fair value analysis using both an income and market approach, which encompasses a discounted cash flow analysis and a guideline public company analysis using selected multiples. Based on the results of the impairment test completed in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company determined that the carrying value of its IP Optical Networks segment exceeded its fair value, and accordingly, recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $116 million. There was no impairment of the Company's Cloud and Edge segment. The Company believes that such non-cash costs are not part of its core business or ongoing operations. Accordingly, the Company believes that excluding the goodwill impairment charge facilitates the comparison of the Company's financial results to its historical operating results and to other companies in its industry.

*Acquisition-, Disposal- and Integration-Related*

The Company considers certain acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related costs to be unrelated to the organic continuing operations of its acquired businesses and the Company. Such costs are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. The Company excludes such acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related costs to allow more accurate comparisons of its financial results to its historical operations and the financial results of less acquisitive peer companies and allows management and investors to consider the ongoing operations of the business both with and without such expenses.

![](tm236917d1_ex99-1img001.jpg)

*Restructuring and Related*

The Company has recorded restructuring and related expense to streamline operations and reduce operating costs by closing and consolidating certain facilities and reducing its worldwide workforce. The Company believes that excluding restructuring and related expense facilitates the comparison of its financial results to its historical operating results and to other companies in its industry, as there are no future revenue streams or other benefits associated with these costs.

*Interest Income on Debentures*

The Company recorded paid-in-kind interest income on the American Cloud Technologies, Inc. ("AVCT") Series A-1 convertible debentures (the "Debentures") it received as consideration in connection with the sale of its Kandy Communications business (the "Kandy Sale") through September 8, 2021, when the Debentures were converted to shares of AVCT common stock (the "Debenture Shares"), which increased their fair value. The Company excludes this interest income because it believes that such a gain is not part of its core business or ongoing operations.

*Gain on Sale of Business*

On May 12, 2021, the Company sold its QualiTech business, which it had acquired as part of its acquisition of ECI Telecom Group Ltd., to Hermon Laboratories, Ltd. As consideration, the Company received $2.9 million of cash and recorded a gain on the sale of $2.8 million. The Company excludes this gain because it believes that such gain is not part of its core business or ongoing operations.

*Decrease in Fair Value of Investments*

The Company calculated the fair values of the Debentures and the warrants to purchase shares of AVCT common stock it received as consideration in connection with the Kandy Sale (the "Warrants") (prior to September 8, 2021) and the Debenture Shares and Warrants (effective September 8, 2021) and at each quarter-end until their disposal on August 29, 2022 when they were used as partial consideration in connection with the Company's acquisition of perpetual software licenses from AVCT. The Company recorded any adjustments to their fair values in Other (expense) income, net. The Company excluded these gains and losses from the change in fair value of this investment because it believes that such gains or losses were not part of its core business or ongoing operations.

*Tax Effect of Non-GAAP Adjustments*

The Non-GAAP income tax provision is presented based on an estimated tax rate applied against forecasted annual non-GAAP income. The Non-GAAP income tax provision assumes no available net operating losses or valuation allowances for the U.S. because of reporting significant cumulative non-GAAP income over the past several years. The Company is reporting its non-GAAP quarterly income taxes by computing an annual rate for the Company and applying that single rate (rather than multiple rates by jurisdiction) to its consolidated quarterly results. The Company expects that this methodology will provide a consistent rate throughout the year and allow investors to better understand the impact of income taxes on its results. Due to the methodology applied to its estimated annual tax rate, the Company's estimated tax rate on non-GAAP income will differ from its GAAP tax rate and from its actual tax liabilities.

*Adjusted EBITDA*

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess its performance. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by excluding from (Income) loss from operations: depreciation; amortization of acquired intangible assets; stock-based compensation; impairment of goodwill; acquisition-, disposal- and integration-related expense; and restructuring and related expense. In general, the Company excludes the expenses that it considers to be non-cash and/or not part of its ongoing operations. The Company may exclude other items in the future that have those characteristics. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the investing community for comparative and valuation purposes. The Company discloses this metric to support and facilitate dialogue with research analysts and investors. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

\*Based on the current financial forecast, the Company continues to evaluate compliance with the financial covenants under the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), for the first quarter of 2023 and beyond. While the Company believes that it has plans in place that will permit the Company to remain in compliance with such covenants under the Credit Agreement (including paying down debt, obtaining an amendment or waiver of the covenants from the lenders under the Credit Agreement, or raising additional capital), no such plans have been completed as of the date of this press release and no assurance can be provided that such plans, if necessary, will be successful. As a result, if the Company determines, prior to the completion of the audit of its 2022 financial statements, that a potential default may occur under the Credit Agreement in the next 12 months as a result of its failure to comply with the financial covenants and the Company has not completed any of the steps noted above to remedy a potential default, the Company may reclassify the indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility as "Current Indebtedness" for purposes of the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.
