Ribbon posts revenue of $203M on strong IP Optical sales

Ribbon Communications reported Q3 revenue of $203 million, compared to $207 million for the third quarter of 2022 and $211 million for the second quarter of 2023.

"Ribbon delivered solid earnings in the third quarter as GAAP Income from Operations improved by $4 million and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% year over year. IP Optical Networks sales have increased 14% year-to-date and were up 6% in the third quarter with approximately 50% sales growth in India, the U.S., and Japan. However, IP Optical Networks sales in the EMEA region were approximately 20% lower in the quarter. Strategically, we went into live commercial service with our Neptune IP Router at a U.S. Tier One Service Provider this quarter. Cloud & Edge sales were lower primarily due to reduced spending from U.S. Tier One Service Providers, offset by additional voice modernization sales to U.S. Federal agencies," stated Bruce McClelland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ribbon Communications.
