Ruckus Wireless Reaches $100 Million in Sales, up 17% YoY

Ruckus Wireless reported Q4 2015 revenue of $100.1 million, an increase of 16.6% from the fourth quarter of 2014. GAAP net income was $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with GAAP net income of $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. GAAP operating income was $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with GAAP operating income of $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.

“Our fourth quarter revenue was impacted by a multi-million dollar E-rate opportunity that was postponed late in the quarter. Nevertheless, we achieved non-GAAP operating margin at the high-end of guidance, demonstrating strong operating execution,” said Selina Lo, president and chief executive officer, Ruckus Wireless. “I believe our strategy remains sound and our product portfolio differentiated, keeping Ruckus in a position to outgrow the market again in 2016. We are equally focused on driving bottom-line growth in 2016, and we are committed to grow earnings faster than revenue, driving operating margin expansion throughout the year.”
