DZS reports Q1 EPS (36c) vs. (65c) last year

Reports Q1 revenue $27.7M vs. $44.4M last year. “As previously disclosed, we completed the restatements with respect to 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, as well as the reports for the remaining periods in 2023 and now completed the delayed filing for Q1 2024,” said Charlie Vogt, President and CEO, DZS. “Our priority throughout this process has been thoroughness and accuracy.” Vogt added, “During the first six months of 2024, we divested our low margin Asia business, acquired NetComm’s fixed wireless, fiber extension, IoT and broadband connectivity business and raised approximately $40 million. On August 13, 2024, we filed our 2022 and 2023 GAAP financials and shortly we expect to provide non-GAAP financials for 2022 and 2023 which will illustrate the adjustments to bridge GAAP to non-GAAP. Today, we filed our Form 10-Q for Q1 2024 which reflects our former Asia business reported as discontinued operations. Our Q1 2024 financial results do not include our newly acquired NetComm business, which closed on June 1, 2024. Our priorities are aligning with customer requirements, completing our numerous FTTx trials currently underway, converting $31.8 million of paid inventory as of March 31, 2024, to cash, executing on $102 million of scheduled backlog and capitalizing on our encouraging sales pipeline.”
