The results are in-line with the preliminary results disclosed on January 8, 2026.
Q4 2025 Financial Highlights:
-- Revenues of $82.3 million, in-line with January update
-- GAAP operating income of $2.4 million, non-GAAP operating income of $3.4

million

net income of $8.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share
Q4 2025 Business Highlights:
-- North American Momentum Continued: Revenue in the fourth quarter was slightly less than the record level achieved in Q3 2025, and backlog entering 2026 is nearly double what it was entering 2025. -- India Progress: Revenue was stable sequentially from Q3 2025 and tracked expectations. -- Balance Sheet Progress: Ceragon ended 2025 with $38.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and a net cash position of $19.4 million, up from a net cash position of $10.1 million at the end of 2024, reflecting improved cash generation and disciplined execution, inclusive of the acquisition of E2E.
Ceragon's CEO, Doron Arazi, commented: "Our fourth quarter and full-year results are consistent with the preliminary results we shared in January. We remained profitable on a non-GAAP basis for both the fourth quarter and full-year 2025 and had strong free cash flow in the fourth quarter. We delivered on what we communicated, strengthened our balance sheet, and exited the year with a significantly higher backlog in North America. Our outlook for 2026 remains unchanged, and we are reiterating our revenue guidance of $355 million to $385 million, which at the midpoint implies near double-digit growth based on the current environment."
