Revenue up 11% and SaaS ARR Growth Accelerates to 29% YoY on Extreme Platform ONE Growth
Secured Forward Supply Chain to Meet Demand and Stabilize Gross Margins
Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme”) (Nasdaq: EXTR) today released financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2026 ended March 31, 2026.
“Our fifth straight quarter of double-digit growth highlights strong momentum, fueled by disciplined execution, differentiated technology, and rising demand for our AI-powered platform. We’ve fully addressed our current and longer-term supply chain needs, including memory, through targeted sourcing strategies, product redesign, and strategic purchase commitments. These actions position us for continued share gains and growth. This quarter’s results reflect not just our performance today, but the strength and scalability of our strategy going forward,” said Ed Meyercord, President and CEO of Extreme.
“SaaS ARR growth accelerated, reflecting rising adoption and deeper customer engagement with Extreme Platform ONE. This momentum underscores the power of our platform approach and the shift toward a more predictable, recurring revenue model. It’s a clear signal that customers are standardizing on our platform to drive automation, boost productivity, and scale their operations,” said Meyercord.
Kevin Rhodes, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “The third quarter marked our eighth consecutive quarter of sequential product revenue growth, reflecting continued execution and share gains. Enterprise networking demand remains resilient, and the targeted pricing actions we implemented are successfully offsetting the incremental supply chain costs we have incurred. Together, these actions underpin our gross margin results and outlook. In addition, we returned $50 million to shareholders through an accelerated share repurchase, underscoring our confidence in the durability of our operating model and cash flow generation.”

Recent Key Highlights:
Extreme supported Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the NCAA Men’s Final Four and rapidly modernized connectivity by removing legacy access points and deploying temporary infrastructure to ensure the venue was fully game-ready on an accelerated timeline. With Wi-Fi 7 from Extreme coming in time for the upcoming Indianapolis Colts season, this upgrade will enhance stadium operations through faster, more reliable network performance for ticketing, security, and concessions, while elevating the fan experience with seamless high-speed connectivity for streaming and mobile engagement.
Extreme secured several new Extreme Platform ONE wins during the quarter, including Asiana Airlines, Atlantic Food Distributors, Bridgeport Public Schools, City of Prescott (AZ), Johnstone Supply, Nissha Medical Technologies, and the University of Buckingham. These customers are leveraging AI-powered automation to reduce manual tasks, streamline operations, minimize network complexity, and enable faster execution at lower cost.
Extreme continues to gain share within the UK National Health Service, with a new win at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, where Extreme displaced a larger Chinese competitor. Fabric played a key role by delivering secure segmentation to protect patient data and devices. NHS selected Extreme’s one-license, one-device model for its simplicity and predictable cost.
London Business School is deploying a full-stack Extreme solution to modernize networking across a complex urban campus spanning historic and modern academic buildings. The solution includes Extreme Platform ONE and wired and wireless platforms. Using Extreme Fabric, the school is automating and unifying the network across dorms, labs, and academic buildings, simplifying deployment while ensuring consistent security policies. Extreme Platform ONE provides unified management and security, while high-performance Wi-Fi 7 enables secure, seamless connectivity for students, faculty, and staff across campus.
Extreme is enhancing the fan experience for the Carolina Hurricanes at the Lenovo Center with a full Wi-Fi 7 upgrade, replacing legacy Wi-Fi 5 to deliver faster, more reliable connectivity throughout the arena.

Extreme uses the non-GAAP free cash flow metric as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow represents GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software development costs. Extreme considers free cash flow to be useful information for management and investors regarding the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software development costs, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Extreme’s business, make strategic acquisitions, and strengthen the balance sheet. A limitation of the utility of this non-GAAP free cash flow metric as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company’s cash balance for the period. The following table shows the non-GAAP free cash flow calculation (in millions):

SaaS ARR: SaaS annual recurring revenue (“SaaS ARR”) represents the annualized value of our subscription offerings and the renewable, term-based license portion of software license arrangements. SaaS ARR excludes perpetual licenses, upfront license fees, variable or non-recurring revenue, professional services revenue, support revenue from maintenance contracts, and other non-subscription revenue. SaaS ARR reflects the annual recurring revenue associated with Extreme Platform ONE (which includes embedded support), ExtremeCloud IQ, and other subscription revenue, based on the annualized value of quarterly subscription revenue and the trailing twelve months of term-based license revenue. Management uses SaaS ARR to evaluate the scale and trajectory of the Company’s subscription-based offerings and progress against customer adoption initiatives. We believe this metric is useful to investors for the same reasons, as it provides insight into our ability to acquire new customers and to maintain and expand our existing customer relationships. SaaS ARR is an operating metric and should be considered independently of revenue or deferred revenue determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. SaaS ARR does not have a standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. SaaS ARR is not intended to be a replacement for, or a forecast of, revenue.
Gross debt: Gross debt is defined as long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt as shown on the balance sheet plus unamortized debt issuance costs, if any.
Net cash: is defined as cash and cash equivalents minus gross debt, as shown in the table below (in millions):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Extreme provides all financial information required in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company is providing with this press release non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA, net cash and free cash flow. In preparing non-GAAP information, the Company has excluded, where applicable, the impact of share-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges, system transition costs, litigation charges, other non-recurring costs, debt refinancing charges and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. The Company believes that excluding these items provides both management and investors with additional insight into its current operations, the trends affecting the Company, the Company’s marketplace performance, and the Company’s ability to generate cash from operations. Please note the Company’s non-GAAP measures may be different than those used by other companies. The additional non-GAAP financial information the Company presents should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP financial information.

These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures for comparable financial information and understanding of the Company’s ongoing performance as a business.

Extreme Networks, Inc.
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Extreme uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA (calculated as GAAP net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as costs or benefits that are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing or expected future operational performance as noted below), net cash and free cash flow.
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included with this press release.
Non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not in accordance with or alternative measures prepared in accordance with GAAP 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. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Extreme’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Extreme’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Extreme believes these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, enhance investors’ and management’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and the Company’s prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance stockholder value. In addition, because Extreme has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company’s financial reporting.
For its internal planning process, and as discussed further below, Extreme’s management uses financial statements that do not include share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges, system transition costs, litigation charges, other non-recurring costs, debt refinancing charges, and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. Extreme’s management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company’s financial results.
As described above, Extreme excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable.
Share-based compensation. Share-based compensation consists of associated expenses for stock options, restricted stock awards and the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Extreme excludes share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing cash requirement related to its operating results. Extreme expects to incur share-based compensation expenses in future periods.
Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles includes the monthly amortization expense of intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships and trademarks. The amortization of the developed technology are recorded in cost of goods sold, while the amortization for the other intangibles are recorded in operating expenses. Extreme excludes these expenses since they result from an intangible asset and for which the period expense does not impact the operations of the business and are non-cash in nature.
Restructuring and related charges. Restructuring and related charges consist of severance costs for employees, asset disposal costs and other charges related to excess facilities that do not provide economic benefit to our future operations. Extreme excludes restructuring expenses since they result from events that occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations.
System transition costs. System transition costs consist of costs related to direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our multi-phase transition of our customer relationship management solution, our configure, price, quote solution and our enterprise resource planning tools that were not capitalizable. Extreme excludes these costs because we believe that these costs do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amount and frequency, making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance.
Litigation charges. Litigation charges consist of estimated settlement and related legal expenses for non-recurring litigations offset by any proceeds received or expected to be received from insurance.
Debt refinancing charges. Debt refinancing charges consist of costs that were not capitalizable and are included in other expense, net, that occurred in conjunction with the amendments related to our outstanding credit facility.
Other non-recurring costs. Other non-recurring costs consist of certain external advisory and professional fees incurred for various non-recurring transactions and activities that occur outside of the normal course of business. Extreme excludes these costs because we believe that these costs do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amount and frequency, making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance.
Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. We calculate our non-GAAP provision for income taxes in accordance with the SEC guidance on non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation. We have assumed our U.S. federal and state net operating losses would have been fully consumed by the historical non-GAAP financial adjustments, eliminating the need for a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets which, consequently, enables our use of research and development tax credits. The non-GAAP tax provision consists of current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability using our blended U.S. statutory tax rate of 24.6%.
The non-GAAP provision for income taxes has typically been and is currently higher than the GAAP provision given the Company has a valuation allowance against its US and a portion of its Irish deferred tax assets due to historical losses. Once these valuation allowances are released, the non-GAAP and the GAAP provision for income taxes will be more closely aligned.
Over the next year, our cash taxes will be driven by US federal and state taxes and the tax expense of our foreign subsidiaries, which amounts have not historically been significant, with the exception of the Company’s Canadian, German and Indian subsidiaries which perform research and development and sales and marketing activities for the Company, as well as the Company’s Irish trading subsidiaries.

Recent Key Highlights:
Extreme was named as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise Wireless LAN 2025 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US52978225, October 2025), with IDC noting strengths including Extreme Platform ONE, strong reviews from customers for responsive support services, expertise in high-density environments, and highly flexible deployment and management options for customers through its Universal Hardware.
During the quarter, Extreme hosted both an Investor Day and its inaugural AI Summit in New York City. Investor Day centered on our long-term vision, financial outlook, and the key drivers of growth, while the AI Summit brought together industry leaders and CxOs for a forward-looking discussion on the future of AI and its impact on how enterprises build and operate networks.
Organizations including Baylor University, Barnsley College, Henry Ford Health, University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Six Flags, and multiple NFL teams including the Pittsburgh Steelers, chose Extreme’s Wi-Fi 7 solutions to deliver faster, more reliable connectivity and drive more efficient operations.
TJ Regional Health selected Extreme to modernize its network across 15 facilities with a resilient, fabric-based architecture delivering reliability for clinical systems, EHR access, and high-density Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. By deploying Extreme Platform ONE with Fabric and advanced wired and wireless solutions, TJ Regional gains simplified operations and future-ready performance for clinical workflows.
Groupe Jolimont, one of Belgium’s leading healthcare systems, has modernized its network with Extreme to support reliable, high-quality patient care across its seven hospital sites. By deploying Extreme Platform ONE, Jolimont can leverage AI-driven insights and automation to manage its switching and Wi-Fi environment faster, smarter, and more efficiently. The upgraded network will help power critical use cases such as electronic health records access, connected medical devices, real-time clinical collaboration, and enhanced digital experiences for both staff and patients.
Sunis Hotels, a Turkish hospitality brand with a growing portfolio of coastal resorts along the Mediterranean and Aegean is modernizing its network with Extreme to enhance guest experience and support core systems, IoT, and security at scale. Extreme beat a larger competitor by demonstrating a stronger grasp of hospitality’s need for always-on, high-performance connectivity, delivering an integrated Wi-Fi, switching, and Fabric experience through ExtremeCloud.
Extreme expanded its relationship with the world’s largest theme park operator by adding Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. The deployment marks the twelfth Six Flags property to standardize on Extreme and includes Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, universal switching, and fabric, delivering high-performance connectivity for guests while supporting critical park operations.
SK bioscience, a leading South Korean biotech company, is deploying Extreme Platform ONE to support rapid growth across its expanded offices and new R&D center. The platform simplifies network operations while delivering the reliability and performance needed to support data-intensive research, connected labs, and collaboration between scientists.

Extreme uses the non-GAAP free cash flow metric as a measure of operating performance. Free cash flow represents GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software development costs. Extreme considers free cash flow to be useful information for management and investors regarding the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software development costs, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Extreme’s business, make strategic acquisitions, and strengthen the balance sheet. A limitation of the utility of this non-GAAP free cash flow metric as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company's cash balance for the period. The following table shows the non-GAAP free cash flow calculation (in millions):

SaaS ARR: Extreme uses SaaS annual recurring revenue (“SaaS ARR”) to identify the annual recurring revenue of Extreme Platform ONE, ExtremeCloud IQ and other subscription revenue, based on the annualized value of quarterly subscription revenue and term-based licenses. We believe that SaaS ARR is an important metric because it is driven by our ability to acquire new customers and to maintain and expand our relationships with existing customers. SaaS ARR should be viewed independently of revenue or deferred revenue that are accounted for under U.S. GAAP. SaaS ARR does not have a standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. SaaS ARR is not intended to be a replacement for forecasts of revenue.
Gross debt: Gross debt is defined as long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt as shown on the balance sheet plus unamortized debt issuance costs, if any.
Net cash: is defined as cash and cash equivalents minus gross debt, as shown in the table below (in millions):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Extreme provides all financial information required in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company is providing with this press release non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA, net cash (debt) and free cash flow. In preparing non-GAAP information, the Company has excluded, where applicable, the impact of share-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges, system transition costs, litigation charges, other non-recurring costs, debt refinancing charges and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. The Company believes that excluding these items provides both management and investors with additional insight into its current operations, the trends affecting the Company, the Company's marketplace performance, and the Company's ability to generate cash from operations. Please note the Company’s non-GAAP measures may be different than those used by other companies. The additional non-GAAP financial information the Company presents should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP financial information.
The Company has provided a non-GAAP reconciliation of the results for the periods presented in this release, which are adjusted to exclude certain items as indicated. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures for comparable financial information and understanding of the Company’s ongoing performance as a business. Extreme uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to evaluate and manage its operations.

Extreme Networks, Inc.
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Extreme uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA (calculated as GAAP net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization as well as costs or benefits that are not reflective of the Company's ongoing or expected future operational performance as noted below), net cash (debt) and free cash flow.
Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all historical non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables included with this press release.
Non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not in accordance with or alternative measures prepared in accordance with GAAP 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. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Extreme’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate Extreme’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Extreme believes these non-GAAP measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, enhance investors' and management's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future, including cash flows available to pursue opportunities to enhance stockholder value. In addition, because Extreme has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting.
For its internal planning process, and as discussed further below, Extreme's management uses financial statements that do not include share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges, system transition costs, litigation charges, other non-recurring costs, debt refinancing charges, and the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. Extreme’s management also uses non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the Company's financial results.
As described above, Extreme excludes the following items from one or more of its non-GAAP measures when applicable.
Share-based compensation. Share-based compensation consists of associated expenses for stock options, restricted stock awards and the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Extreme excludes share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that the Company does not believe are reflective of ongoing cash requirement related to its operating results. Extreme expects to incur share-based compensation expenses in future periods.
Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles includes the monthly amortization expense of intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships and trademarks. The amortization of the developed technology are recorded in cost of goods sold, while the amortization for the other intangibles are recorded in operating expenses. Extreme excludes these expenses since they result from an intangible asset and for which the period expense does not impact the operations of the business and are non-cash in nature.
Restructuring and related charges. Restructuring and related charges consist of severance costs for employees, asset disposal costs and other charges related to excess facilities that do not provide economic benefit to our future operations. Extreme excludes restructuring expenses since they result from events that occur outside of the ordinary course of continuing operations.
System transition costs. System transition costs consist of costs related to direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our multi-phase transition of our customer relationship management solution, our configure, price, quote solution and our enterprise resource planning tools that were not capitalizable. Extreme excludes these costs because we believe that these costs do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amount and frequency, making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance.
Litigation charges. Litigation charges consist of estimated settlement and related legal expenses for non-recurring litigations offset by any proceeds received or expected to be received from insurance.
Debt refinancing charges. Debt refinancing charges consist of costs that were not capitalizable and are included in other expense, net, that occurred in conjunction with the amendments related to our outstanding credit facility.
Other non-recurring costs. Other non-recurring costs consist of certain external advisory and professional fees incurred for various non-recurring transactions and activities that occur outside of the normal course of business. Extreme excludes these costs because we believe that these costs do not reflect future operating expenses and will be inconsistent in amount and frequency, making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance.
Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. We calculate our non-GAAP provision for income taxes in accordance with the SEC guidance on non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation. We have assumed our U.S. federal and state net operating losses would have been fully consumed by the historical non-GAAP financial adjustments, eliminating the need for a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets which, consequently, enables our use of research and development tax credits. The non-GAAP tax provision consists of current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability using our blended U.S. statutory tax rate of 24.6%.
The non-GAAP provision for income taxes has typically been and is currently higher than the GAAP provision given the Company has a valuation allowance against its US and a portion of its Irish deferred tax assets due to historical losses. Once these valuation allowances are released, the non-GAAP and the GAAP provision for income taxes will be more closely aligned.
Over the next year, our cash taxes will be driven by US federal and state taxes and the tax expense of our foreign subsidiaries, which amounts have not historically been significant, with the exception of the Company’s Canadian, German and Indian subsidiaries which perform research and development and sales and marketing activities for the Company, as well as the Company’s Irish trading subsidiaries.
