Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Bandwidth Inc. reported third-quarter revenue of $234.017 million, up 22% from $191.895 million a year earlier, and Adjusted EBITDA of $34.797 million, up 43% from $24.330 million. GAAP net income was $5.247 million, compared with a $1.241 million loss; free cash flow was $32.981 million, versus $13.135 million. Gross margin was 36%, compared with 38% a year earlier. Management attributed growth to customers expanding platform usage and said four new $1 million-plus customer wins and expansions will layer into results over the next twelve months.
For full-year 2026, the company guided to revenue of $905 million-$910 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $124 million-$125 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.73-$1.79, based on current indications and subject to change. Its stated 2027 outlook is double-digit Cloud Communications revenue from voice usage demand growth.
Effective October 26, 2026, an amendment increased aggregate revolving credit commitments from $150 million to $200 million and extended the maturity date to October 26, 2031. It also raised a basket from the greater of $5 million and 10% of TTM Consolidated EBITDA to the greater of $10 million and 10% of TTM Consolidated EBITDA.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $35 million, up 43% year-over-year"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"We define free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
TTM Consolidated EBITDA financial
"10% of TTM Consolidated EBITDA"

“Our third quarter results demonstrate our continued focus and execution, with record revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow,” said Daryl Raiford, CFO of Bandwidth. “Our growth this quarter was driven by customers expanding their usage of our platform, and our sales team added four new $1 million-plus customer wins and expansions that will layer into our results over the next twelve months. The strength of our business model lets us lean into that momentum while expanding margins and generating strong cash flow.” | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Third Quarter Customer Highlights
•A rapidly expanding all-digital banking platform selected Bandwidth to modernize its customer contact center and integrate an SI agent, displacing a major CPaaS competitor. The bank chose Bandwidth for our low-latency owned network, 5x-redundant toll-free solution with Maestro advanced routing and observability, and native Genesys integration, creating high-value enterprise voice traffic that grows as it scales SI-powered customer interactions.
•A fast-growing consumer privacy company expanded its relationship with Bandwidth, now relying on us for millions of phone numbers, and launched an SI-powered call screening service built on our software and voice infrastructure, with additional services planned on our WebRTC solution.
•A major enterprise network and communications provider serving businesses and state and local governments across the U.S. expanded a longstanding relationship spanning toll-free, 911, and other voice services by adopting our platform voice solution, creating a new source of recurring platform fees and incremental usage-based revenue.
•A specialized communications provider serving thousands of businesses and government agencies through its reseller and managed service provider network selected Bandwidth to expand its calling services internationally, relying on our network reaching 70 countries and our global routing capabilities to serve destinations its previous provider could not.
•Salesforce named Bandwidth its first certified international carrier to support the global rollout of its native Contact Center, extending Salesforce's CRM contact center capabilities to more than 25 countries across Europe, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, with additional markets to follow. Enterprises can connect through a bring-your-own-carrier (“BYOC”) model with Maestro.

This press release includes forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, future financial and business performance, the success of our product offerings and our platform, and the value proposition of our products, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “guide,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions and their negatives are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks related to our rapid growth and ability to sustain our revenue growth rate, competition in the markets in which we operate, market growth, our ability to innovate and manage our growth, our ability to successfully leverage the use of SI in our business operations and in our service offerings, our ability to expand effectively into new markets, macroeconomic conditions both in the U.S. and globally, legal, reputational and financial risks which may result from ever-evolving cybersecurity threats, our ability to operate in compliance with applicable laws, as well as other risks and uncertainties set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any subsequent reports that we file with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. We are under no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this press release to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, we provide investors with certain Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics, which we believe are helpful to our investors. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The presentation of Non-GAAP financial information and other business metrics is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. While our Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time, we urge investors to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
3
We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit after adding back depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes. We add back depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes because we do not consider them indicative of our core operating performance. Their exclusion facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Therefore, we believe that showing gross margin, as adjusted to remove the impact of these expenses, is helpful to investors in assessing our gross profit and gross margin performance in a way that is similar to how management assesses our performance. We calculate Non-GAAP gross margin by dividing Non-GAAP gross profit by cloud communications revenue, which is revenue less pass-through messaging surcharge revenue.
We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income or loss adjusted for certain items affecting period to period comparability. Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs for convertible debt, acquisition related expenses, impairment charges of intangibles assets, net cost associated with early lease terminations and leases without economic benefit, (gain) loss on sale of business, net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on business interruption insurance recoveries, non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other, and estimated tax impact of above adjustments, net of valuation allowances.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or losses from continuing operations, adjusted to reflect the addition or elimination of certain statement of operations items including, but not limited to: income tax (benefit) provision, interest (income) expense, net, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, impairment of intangible assets, (gain) loss on sale of business, net cost associated with early lease terminations and leases without economic benefit, net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on business interruption insurance recoveries, and non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of certain items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin can produce a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by cloud communications revenue, which is revenue less pass-through messaging surcharge revenue.
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less net cash used in the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and capitalized development costs for software for internal use. We believe free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity and provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our core operations that can be used for investing in our business. Free cash flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, it does not take into consideration investment in long-term securities, nor does it represent the residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate free cash flow along with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. While a reconciliation of Non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of these costs and expenses that we may incur in the future, we have provided a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics to the nearest comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial statement tables included in this press release.

(1) Non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other include (i) $(0.3) million and $(1.7) million of foreign exchange gains primarily related to balance sheet revaluations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, (ii) $0.2 million of losses on prepaid contract and related implementation costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, (iii) $0.1 million and $0.4 million of losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, (iv) $1.2 million of foreign exchange losses primarily related to balance sheet revaluations during three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, (v) less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million of losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, (vi) $0.1 million of losses on sale of business during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and (vii) $0.5 million of nonrecurring litigation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
(2) The estimated tax-effect of adjustments is determined by recalculating the tax provision on a Non-GAAP basis. The Non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 20.5% and 17.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We analyze the Non-GAAP valuation allowance position on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2026, we have no valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets for Non-GAAP purposes.
(3) Non-GAAP net income is increased for interest expense as part of the calculation for diluted Non-GAAP earnings per share.
