Ribbon Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: RBBN) has scheduled its first‑quarter 2026 earnings release for April 28, 2026. A conference call will be held at 4:30 p.m. ET, with a webcast available on the company’s investor relations website.
The company’s guidance for the quarter, released in a separate filing, projects revenue of $160 million to $170 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $3 million to $1 million. Analysts expect earnings per share of –$0.07 for the period, a slight miss relative to the consensus estimate of $0.00.
Ribbon’s Q1 2025 results, which were announced in a press release on April 15, 2025, showed revenue of $200 million, a 5% decline from the $210 million of Q1 2024, and a GAAP gross margin of 45.4% versus 48.0% in the prior year. The company’s non‑GAAP gross margin fell to 48.6% from 51.2% in Q1 2024, reflecting a shift toward lower‑margin product lines and the impact of customer and project delays.
Segment performance in Q1 2025 highlighted growth in the Cloud and Edge business, which increased revenue by 12% YoY, while the IP Optical segment saw a modest 2% decline. The company’s focus on high‑margin cloud services is expected to drive future revenue growth, though the IP Optical segment remains a key driver of overall scale.
In its Q1 2025 earnings commentary, CEO Bruce McClelland noted that “sales to Service Providers increased more than 10% year over year driven by a broad‑based focus on Network Modernization.” CFO John Townsend added that “we expect gross margins to return to normal levels as product and regional mix improve in the second quarter and the rest of the year.” These statements suggest management confidence in the company’s ability to recover margin compression and capitalize on demand for network modernization.
The announcement follows a board appointment on April 15, 2026, when Louis Silver was added to the board, expanding the group to nine members and bringing additional technology investment experience.
