CALX: 10-Q · periodic report

Calix reported strong financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, with revenue growing 21% year-over-year to $293.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2026. The company swung to a net income of $17.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million in the prior year period, driven by increased adoption of its platform and managed services. The company actively returned capital to shareholders, repurchasing 5.0 million shares for $240.2 million during the first six months of 2026. This activity was supported by the Board of Directors authorizing a $225.0 million increase to the repurchase program, leaving $94.1 million remaining authorized as of the end of the quarter. Despite the top-line growth, profitability faced pressure as gross margin decreased by 170 basis points to 54.6% for the quarter, primarily attributed to elevated memory component costs and a transition to a dual cloud environment. Management noted ongoing supply chain constraints for memory components which may persist, posing a risk to future margins.
