EQS-Adhoc: Non-cash goodwill impairment for the first quarter 2024 in an estimated amount of $293 million; no impact on non-GAAP results and cash flow for the first quarter 2024

Ad-hoc notification pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014

ADTRAN Holdings, Inc.: Non-cash goodwill impairment for the first quarter 2024 in an estimated amount of $293 million; no impact on non-GAAP results and cash flow for the first quarter 2024

Huntsville, Alabama (United States of America). May 3, 2024 (CT)

In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2024, ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. (“Company”) today determined that a material charge for impairment to goodwill will be required for the first quarter of 2024. As a result, the Company expects to record a material non-cash goodwill impairment on the carrying amount of goodwill solely allocated to the Network Solutions segment in an estimated amount of $293 million. The quantitative impairment assessment was triggered as a result of factors such as a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization, cautious service provider spending due to economic uncertainty and continued customer inventory adjustments.

The impairment leads to an increased GAAP operating loss for the first quarter 2024 by the same amount. It will not, however, result in any current or future cash expenditure and has no impact on the Company’s GAAP revenue and the non-GAAP operating margin guided for the first quarter 2024. Additionally, the charge has no impact on the Company’s compliance with covenants under its credit agreement.
