Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. (NYSE American: MIMO), which provides ground-breaking, disruptive software and hardware for 5G networks, and a pioneer in end-to-end Open RAN solutions, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Key Third Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Revenue of $41.1 million, decreased 12% sequentially from second quarter 2022, and increased 6% year-over-year
  • Gross margin of 39.8% was essentially flat to 40.1% in second quarter 2022, and down from 44.0% in third quarter 2021
  • Net loss of $23.3 million, compared to a net loss of $21.0 million in second quarter 2022, and a net loss of $27.0 million for third quarter 2021
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure) was a loss of $10.0 million compared to a loss of $12.3 million in second quarter 2022 and a loss of $10.4 million in third quarter 2021
  • Loss per share was 32 cents, compared to loss per share of 29 cents in second quarter 2022 and a loss per share of 41 cents in third quarter 2021

Third Quarter Business Highlights

  • Strong bookings performance with a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1.5 in the quarter, resulting in shippable backlog of over $100 million at quarter end
  • Strengthened momentum in private network design wins with 87 new Private 4G/5G Networks in third quarter 2022, up 45% year to date compared to 2021
  • Expansion of the customer base, including a substantial multi-year project win in a Florida “smart cities” infrastructure enhancement project signed in the third quarter of 2022
  • Streamlined operations and reduced operating expenses by $4 million compared to the second quarter of 2022

Strong Demand and New Product Pipeline

“We are encouraged by very robust bookings, while continuing to grapple with supply chain issues,” said Airspan Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Eric Stonestrom. “We are taking steps to address the balance sheet, as well as driving operational efficiencies to bring us closer to operating break-even in the fourth quarter of this year.”

“We are seeing continued strong demand in our core markets of mobile networks, private networks and fixed wireless. We have now launched the 6 Series, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) product, which delivers multi-gigabit speeds and we have grown total FWA purchase orders by 75% year to date compared to the same time last year,” said Airspan President and Chief Operating Officer Glenn Laxdal.

Business Outlook

We anticipate fourth quarter 2022 revenue of $49 million to $57 million at a gross margin of 42% to 46%. Both figures continue to be impacted by component availability, related expenses and challenges from COVID-19 restrictions in Asia.
