Prior results included strong Q2 2025 performance with $138.0M revenue and solid broadband growth, but Q3 2025 saw revenue decline versus the prior year and a negative price reaction. Reporting-date notices on Jul 28 2025, Oct 13 2025, Jan 20 2026, and Apr 20 2026 generally produced small moves around 0–3%. Today’s Q1 2026 report adds raised 2026 broadband guidance and continued backlog expansion to that trajectory.

Key Terms

non-gaap, backlog, docsis 4.0, put option agreement, +4 more

8 terms

non-gaap financial

"GAAP | | Non-GAAP (Unaudited, in millions, except per share data)"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

backlog financial

"Backlog and deferred revenue of $582.1 million, an increase of 87%"

A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.

docsis 4.0 technical

"Secured additional DOCSIS 4.0 customer wins and deployments, with a growing pipeline"

DOCSIS 4.0 is the latest technical standard for cable internet that enables providers to deliver much faster, more reliable and more symmetric upload and download speeds over existing coaxial networks, while reducing delays and improving security. For investors it matters because it can unlock higher-value services and customer growth without full network replacement, but also implies capital spending and competitive shifts—think of it as widening a highway to carry more, faster traffic.

put option agreement financial

"entered into a Put Option Agreement to sell its Video business"

A put option agreement is a contract that gives its holder the right to sell a specified number of shares at an agreed price within a set period. Think of it like an insurance policy that guarantees you can offload stock at a known price if the market falls; for investors it provides downside protection but can also create obligations for the counterparty (often the company) to buy back shares, which can affect cash flows and ownership stakes.

asset purchase agreement regulatory

"requesting that Buyer execute that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the "APA")"

An asset purchase agreement is a legal contract in which a buyer agrees to buy specific assets and contracts of a business rather than buying the company’s stock or ownership. It matters to investors because it determines exactly what is being bought and what liabilities stay behind — like buying the furniture and equipment from a store but not the building or past debts — which affects the deal’s value, taxes and future risk exposure.

gross margin financial

"Gross margin % (2) | | 52.0 % | | 53.0 %"

Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.

tariff regulatory

"Includes approximately $0.6 million and $2.3 million of estimated tariff impacts"

A tariff is a tax charged by a government on goods as they cross a border, like a toll on a highway for imported products. For investors, tariffs matter because they raise costs for companies that buy or sell goods internationally, can squeeze profit margins, change competitive balance, and prompt firms to move suppliers or raise prices — all of which can affect revenues, costs and stock valuations.

tax rate financial

"Tax rate | | 33.0 % | | 33.0 %"

The tax rate is the percentage of income, profits or transactions that a government requires a person or company to pay in taxes, like the slice of a pie taken from each portion of earnings. For investors it matters because higher tax rates reduce a company’s after-tax profit, cash available for dividends or reinvestment, and can change valuation and expected returns, so small percentage changes can noticeably affect investment outcomes.

(d/b/a MediaKind) (the "Buyer") for a purchase price of $145 million in cash (the "Disposition").

The APA includes certain representations, warranties, and covenants of the parties thereto, including an agreement of the Company not to compete with the Business for three years following the closing date as set forth in the APA. In addition, the Company and the Buyer have agreed to indemnify each other for certain losses arising under the APA. The APA also provides that either the Buyer or Company have the right to terminate the APA in the event that the closing conditions have not been satisfied by June 8, 2026, subject to automatic extension to September 8, 2026, in the event of certain closing conditions remaining unsatisfied as of the earlier date. The Disposition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or referred to herein as "reported"). However, management believes that certain Non-GAAP financial measures provide management and other users with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our ongoing performance. Our management regularly uses our supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, establish operating budgets, set internal measurement targets and make operating decisions.

These Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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. The Company believes that Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Harmonic's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Harmonic's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

The Company believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and its historical and projected results of operations. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Non-GAAP measures presented here are: Gross profit, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, non-operating expenses and net income (loss), and net income (loss) per diluted share. The presentation of Non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to Non-GAAP results published by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical Non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements provided with this press release. The Non-GAAP adjustments described below have historically been excluded from our GAAP financial measures.

Our Non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:

Stock-based compensation - Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. We believe that management is limited in its ability to project the impact stock-based compensation would have on our operating results. In addition, for comparability purposes, we believe it is useful to provide a Non-GAAP financial measure that excludes stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate the comparison of our results to the results of our peer companies.

Non-recurring advisory fees - There were non-recurring costs that we excluded from Non-GAAP results relating to professional accounting, tax and legal fees associated with strategic corporate initiatives.

Discrete tax items and tax effect of Non-GAAP adjustments - The income tax effect of Non-GAAP adjustments relates to the tax effect of the adjustments that we incorporate into Non-GAAP financial measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure of Non-GAAP net income. This non-recurring adjustment has been excluded from the Company's non-GAAP tax rate and non-GAAP financial measures, as management believes exclusion of this item provides more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating performance
