Cambium Networks reported Q2 evenues of $59.5 million, a decrease of 23% sequentially, and an increase of 14% year-over-year. There was a net loss of $2.6 million or $0.10 per diluted share, non-GAAP.
“Our second quarter results were disappointing as a result of lower demand for Enterprise products caused by lower order volumes from distributors and high channel inventories, and a challenging macroeconomic environment, especially in EMEA,” said Atul Bhatnagar. “The company has recently initiated a cost reduction plan to increase profitability ahead of our next phase of growth which includes the FCC’s anticipated approval of 6 GHz spectrum products, the ramp of our 28 GHz cnWave 5G fixed, 60 GHz cnWave technologies for service providers, and the expansion of our fiber-based solutions.”
Bhatnagar continued, “We remain confident that new product cycles for next generation multi-gigabit fixed wireless and fiber products, increased government funding in North America, defense, and a return to growth for our Enterprise business will drive future growth.”
Cambium also announced that Morgan Kurk, most recently a senior executive at Honeywell International, and prior to that, the executive vice president broadband market segment leader and chief technology officer at CommScope, has been appointed president and chief executive officer, effective immediately.
Atul Bhatnagar is stepping down as the company’s CEO but will continue to serve as a member of the company’s board of directors.
“Cambium has established itself as a leader in the fixed wireless broadband and wireless networking categories and has achieved many product innovations since its spin-off from Motorola in 2011. We could not be more thrilled to have Morgan lead Cambium in the next phase of its journey. As a proven industry leader with a three-decade track record of delivering outstanding results, Morgan brings the right vision, experience and energy to drive growth at the company for years to come,” said Robert Amen, Cambium’s chairman. “We also want to acknowledge and thank Atul for his many years of leadership in establishing a culture of growth, integrity and innovation and in leading Cambium to where it is today.”
