Results of operations, net assets and financial position

Business development and operational performance

Revenue development and revenues by region

Revenues represent one of the four key performance indicators for Adtran Networks. The group's revenues in 6M 2023 amounted to EUR 349.5 million and were EUR 12.7 million or 3.8 % above revenues of EUR 336.8 million in 6M 2022. Compared to revenues of EUR 179.4 million in Q1 2023, revenues in Q2 2023 decreased by 5.1 % to EUR 170.2 million. The increase in revenues compared to 6M 2022 is driven largely by WDM business and fulfillment of orders on backlog. The decrease compared to the previous quarter is attributable to supply constraints and reduced ordering.

In 6M 2023, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) was once again the largest contributing sales region, followed by Americas and Asia-Pacific.

Year-on-year, sales in EMEA increased to EUR 203.3 million in 6M 2023 compared to EUR 189.3 million in 6M 2022 and represented 58.2% of total revenues in 6M 2023 after 56.2 % in the prior-year period.

Revenues in Americas slightly increased by 0.9% from EUR 118.5 million in 6M 2022 to EUR 119.6 million in 6M 2023. The increase compared to the prior-year period is particularly due to strong Oscilloquartz and Ethernet sales.

In Asia-Pacific, revenue decreased by 8.0% from EUR 29.0 million in 6M 2022 to EUR 26.6 million in 6M 2023 Demand was primarily driven by network operators and enterprise customers.

Cost of goods sold increased by EUR 1.9 million to EUR 231.9 million in 6M 2023. In 6M 2023, cost of goods sold included EUR 19.3 million (6M 2022: EUR 21.7 million) of amortization of capitalized development projects.

Gross profit increased from EUR 106.8 million in 6M 2022 to EUR 117.6 million in 6M 2023, with gross margin at 33.6 % in 6M 2023 also above the 31.7 % reported in 6M 2022. The increase in the gross margin in 6M 2023 compared to 6M 2022 in particular results from cost of goods sold increasing at a lower rate when compared to revenue increase. The slower increase in cost of goods sold was mainly driven by lower material and freight expenses.

Within operating costs, sales and marketing expenses in 6M 2023 of EUR 35.4 million were below the prior-year number of EUR 36.3 million in 6M 2022. They amounted to 10.1 % of revenues in 6M 2023 after 10.8 % in 6M 2022.

General and administrative expenses of EUR 18.8 million in 6M 2023 also decreased compared to EUR 19.9 million in 6M 2022 and amounted to 5.4 % and 5.9 % of revenues, respectively.

At EUR 55.0 million in 6M 2023, R&D expenses were above the EUR 43.6 million seen in 6M 2022, comprising 15.7 % and 13.0 % of revenues, respectively. Gross R&D expenses increased to EUR 76.5 million in 6M 2023 compared to EUR 65.9 million reported in 6M 2022, while income from capitalization of development expenses decreased from EUR 22.2 million in 6M 2022 to EUR 21.5 million in 6M 2023. The capitalization rate in 6M 2023 amounted to 28.1 %, down from 33.7 % reported in 6M 2022.

Adtran Networks operating income increased from EUR 10.6 million in 6M 2022 to EUR 14.3 million in 6M 2023. In the current cost of goods sold and operating expenses increased slower in proportion of revenue period positively impacting operating income.

Pro forma EBIT represents one of the four key performance indicators for Adtran Networks. As pro forma EBIT excludes non-cash charges related to stock compensation and business combinations as well as non-recurring expenses related to M&A transactions and restructuring measures. The management board of Adtran Networks believes that pro forma EBIT is a more appropriate measure than operating income when benchmarking the group's operational performance against other telecommunications equipment providers. In 6M 2023, Adtran Networks reported a pro forma EBIT of EUR 21.8 million after a pro forma EBIT of EUR 14.2 million in 6M 2022, representing positive 6.2 % after positive 4.2 % of revenues, respectively.

The reconciliation of operating income (loss) to pro forma EBIT is as follows:

(in millions of EUR) 6M 2023 6M 2022
Operating income (loss) 14.3 10.6
Expenses related to share-based
compensation
2.4 0.8
Amortization of intangible assets from
business combinations
1.8 1.8
Expenses related to restructuring measures 3.0
Expenses related to M&A transactions 0.4 0.9
Pro forma EBIT 21.8 14.2

Beyond the operating result net income in 6M 2023 is impacted by net interest expenses of EUR 1.7 million (6M 2022: EUR 0.8 million), which includes interest effects from lease accounting of EUR 0.3 million (6M 2022: EUR 0.4 million). Furthermore, net financial losses of EUR 2.8 million (6M 2022: net financial gains of EUR 4.3 million) relating to the revaluation of foreign currency assets and liabilities and the result on hedging instruments, impacted the net income in 6M 2023.

In 6M 2023, the group reported an income tax expense of EUR 2.9 million after an income tax expense of EUR 0.7 million in 6M 2022. In both periods income tax effects result from the application of the expected tax rate to the relevant income before tax of the respective entity of the Adtran Networks group.

Summary: Business development and operational performance

In 6M 2023, Adtran Networks SE recorded an increase in revenues and gross margin compared to the previous year. The higher operating result was offset by net financial losses and higher tax expenses. Thus, Adtran Networks reports a substantial decline of net profit from EUR 13.5 million in 6M 2022 to EUR 6.9 million in the current period.

Net assets and financial position

Balance sheet structure

Adtran Networks total assets decreased by EUR 20.9 million from EUR 647.9 million at the end of 2022 to EUR 627.0 million at the end of June 2023.

Current assets amounted to EUR 352.9 million at the end of 6M 2023, EUR 20.4 million lower than the corresponding balance of EUR 373.3 million at the end of 2022 and accounted for 56.3 % and 57.6 % of total assets at these reporting dates, respectively. The decrease in current assets was mainly due to decreased cash and cash equivalents of EUR 48.6 million after EUR 58.4 million reported at the end of 2022. This results in particular from the cash outflows for investing and financing activities that were only partially compensated by a positive cash flow from operating activities as further explained in the cash flow section. Trade receivables decreased from EUR 123.7 million on December 31, 2022 to EUR 115.7 million at the end of 6M 2023 due to declined revenues in Q2 2023 when comparing to previous quarters. DSOs were at 41 days in 6M 2023 and 55 days in 12M 2022. At the same time, inventories also decreased from EUR 170.3 million on December 31, 2022 to EUR 163.6 million at the end of 6M 2023. In 6M 2023 inventory turns declined to 2,8 x compared to the value of 3,1 x in 12M 2022.

Non-current assets slightly decreased to EUR 274.1 million at the end of 6M 2023 from EUR 274.6 million at year-end 2022.

Meaningful additional assets belonging to Adtran Networks are the broad and global customer base of several hundred service providers and thousands of enterprises, the ADVA, Oscilloquartz and Ensemble brands, the vendor and partner relationships and a highly motivated and skilled global team. These assets are not recognized in the balance sheet. Customer satisfaction as measured by the net promoter score represents one of the group's four key performance indicators. Further information on the development of the Net Promoter Score is presented in the Annual Report 2022.

On the equity and liabilities side, current liabilities decreased by EUR 31.8 million from EUR 239.7 million on December 31, 2022 to EUR 207.9 million on June 30, 2023. This decrease is attributable to significantly lower trade payables. These amounted to EUR 61.5 million at the end of 6M 2023, EUR 27.2 million below the EUR 88.7 million reported at the end of December 2022. In 6M 2023, DPOs amounted to 59 days compared to 65 days in 12M 2022. At the same time, other current liabilities decreased significantly by EUR 16.0 million to EUR 28.7 million as of June 30, 2023, in particular due to the payment of variable employee compensation components for 2022 in 6M 2023. Current contract liabilities amounted to EUR 28.6 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to EUR 21.2 million reported at year-end 2022.

Non-current liabilities of EUR 44.3 million at the end of 6M 2023 increased from the EUR 39.1 million reported at the end of 2022.

Stockholders' equity increased from EUR 369.1 million reported on December 31, 2022, to EUR 374.8 million on June 30, 2023. The equity ratio was at 59.8 % on June 30, 2023, after 57.0 % on December 31, 2022, while the noncurrent assets ratio amounted to 136.7 % and 134.4 %, respectively, with stockholders' equity fully covering the noncurrent assets.

Capital expenditures

Capital expenditures for additions to property, plant and equipment in 6M 2023 amounted to EUR 9.0 million, up from the EUR 6.8 million seen in 6M 2022.

Capital expenditures for intangible assets of EUR 22.8 million in 6M 2023 were down from EUR 27.8 million in 6M 2022. This total consists of capitalized development projects of EUR 21.5 million in 6M 2023 after EUR 22.2 million in 6M 2022 and capital expenditures for other intangible assets of EUR 1.3 million in 6M 2023 after EUR 5.7 million in 6M 2022. The investments in other intangible assets in the prior year period included in particular the capitalization of a joint development.

Cash flow

Portion of Portion of
(in millions of EUR) 6M 2023 cash 6M 2022 cash
Operating cash flow 21.3 43.8 % (6.2) (9.8) %
Investing cash flow (31.7) (65.2) % (34.6) (54.8) %
Financing cash flow 1.7 3.5 % (6.9) (11.0) %
Net effect of foreign currency translation on cash and cash equivalents (1.1) (2.4) % 2.0 3.1 %
Net change in cash and cash equivalents (9.8) (20.3) % (45.8) (72.5) %
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period 58.4 120.3 % 109.0 172.5 %
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period 48.6 100.0 % 63.2 100.0 %

Cash flow from operating activities was positive EUR 21.3 million in 6M 2023, after negative EUR 6.2 million in 6M 2022. The significant improvement in 6M 2023 is due to in particular lower cash outflows for net working capital compared with the corresponding prior-year period.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to negative EUR 31.7 million in 6M 2023 after negative EUR 34.6 million in 6M 2022. The decreased use of funds for investing activities is largely due to lower investments in intangible assets as described in the capital expenditure section above.

Finally, net cash inflows of EUR 1.7 million were reported from financing activities in 6M 2023, after cash outflows of EUR 6.9 million from financing activities in 6M 2022. In 6M 2023, the cash inflow results in particular from the raising of a new loan at Adtran Holdings, Inc. and inflows from the partial utilization of a new credit line while in 6M 2022, the cash outflows result from scheduled redemption and interest payments for existing bank loans and repayments of lease liabilities. On the other hand, there was a higher inflow from capital increases in connection with the exercise of stock options in 6M 2022 due to the positive share price development in this period.

Overall, including the net effect of foreign currency translation of negative EUR 1.1 million, cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 9.8 million, from EUR 58.4 million at the end of December 2022 to EUR 48.6 million on June 30, 2023. In 6M 2022, cash and cash equivalents had decreased by EUR 45.8 million.

With the exception of local currency regulations for cash and cash equivalents in China amounting to EUR 2.9 million, there were no significant restrictions at the end of the quarter.

Financing and liquidity

Adtran Networks financial management is performed centrally by Adtran Networks SE. Its objective is to provide sufficient funds to ensure ongoing operations and to support the group's projected growth. Beyond the strong equity base appropriate for the business, Adtran Networks finances its business by means of liabilities with maturities typically exceeding the useful life of the assets being financed. For any liability taken, Adtran Networks is focused on minimizing related interest cost, as long as access to funds is not at risk. Excess funds are generally used to redeem liabilities.

Total financial debt increased by EUR 4.4 million to EUR 82.1 million at the end of 6M 2023. Liabilities to banks decreased significantly from EUR 56.4 million to EUR 10.0 million. As from Q1 2023, Adtran Networks group has been financed by a loan from Adtran Holdings, Inc.. At the end of June 2023, Adtran Networks reported a financial liability to Adtran Holdings, Inc. in the amount of EUR 53.0 million. The current portion of liabilities from leasing decreased by EUR 0.3 million to EUR 5.3 million while the non-current liabilities from leasing decreased by EUR 1.8 million to EUR 13.7 million.

On June 30, 2023, the group had utilized a committed borrowing facilities of EUR 15.0 million in the amount of EUR 10.0 million (on December 31, 2022: committed borrowing facilities amounting to EUR 33.5 million were fully utilized).

Net cash represents one of the four key performance indicators for Adtran Networks. Mainly due to the previously described decrease in cash and cash equivalents and increased financial liabilities, net debt increased significantly from EUR 19.2 million at the end of 2022 to EUR 33.5 million in 6M 2023. Cash and cash equivalents on June 30, 2023, and on December 31, 2022, were invested mainly in EUR, USD and GBP.

At the end of June 2023 return on capital employed for the rolling twelve months period was at 5.2 %, up from the 4.4 % reported in 12M 2022. This development is mainly due to the positive development of the operating result in 6M 2023.

Summary: Net assets and financial position

Despite the decrease in net cash and increased net debt position at the end of 6M 2023, Adtran Networks net assets and financial position remain strong. The equity ratio further improved to 59.8 % on June 30, 2023 compared to 57.0 % at the end of 2022.

Events after the balance sheet date

There were no events after the balance sheet date that materially impacted the net assets and financial position of the group and Adtran Networks SE on June 30, 2023, or the group's and the company's financial performance for 6M 2023. Also, there were no events considered material for disclosure.

Risk and opportunity report

Adtran Networks future development is subject to various general and group-specific risks, which in certain cases can also endanger the group's continued existence.

The risks and uncertainties as reported in the "risk and opportunity report" section of the Group Management Report 2022 remain unchanged.

Outlook

Despite the continuing difficult external environment, Adtran Networks reported solid results for Q2 2023 which were within the expectations for Q2 2023. Revenue for Q2 2023 increased by 2.3 % to EUR 170.2 million compared to EUR 166.3 million in Q2 2022. 6M 2023 revenues were EUR 349.5 million up by 3.8 % compared to EUR 336.8 million in the 6M 2022 period, putting them at a record level. Lower procurement cost and a more favorable currency mix contributed positively on margins. Therefore pro forma EBIT margin in Q2 2023 increased to 7.1 % compared to 3.9 % in Q2 2022. Cash decreased from EUR 67.2 million in Q1 2023 to EUR 48.6 million in Q2 2023. The decrease is mainly due to loan repayments to Adtran Holdings, Inc..

The management board expects a full recovery of the supply chains in the course of 2023. For the full year 2023, there are still some limited supply risks and cost levels remain high. In addition, since lead times for components have substantially reduced, many customers are currently focusing on optimizing their inventory which impacts order bookings. Furthermore, customer spending is impacted by high inflation and rising interest rates particularly in North America. The management believes that this trend will continue in Q3 and may start recovering at the earliest in Q4. Nevertheless, the longer term macro environment remains positive for Adtran Networks and the merger with Adtran Holdings, Inc. offers numerous opportunities.

With the investments of the past years, Adtran Networks has comprehensively prepared itself technologically for the transformation of networks with the aspects of cloud, mobility, 5G, automation and security. In addition to the highquality performance features of optical data transmission, precise network synchronization technology and programmable cloud access solutions, the service portfolio also delivers increasing added value.

Against the backdrop of the aforementioned factors and considering the planning parameters, personnel and exchange rates, the management decided to adjust the outlook and now expects for the business year 2023 revenue to decline in the high single digit to low teens percentage range compared to the business year 2022 (2022: EUR 712.1 million) and the pro forma EBIT margin to be in the low single digit percentage range.

(4) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the groups financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future. Assumptions used to make estimates are regularly reviewed. Changes in estimates only affecting one accounting period are only considered in that accounting period. In the case of changes in estimates that affect the current and future accounting periods, these are considered appropriately in the current and subsequent accounting periods.

Discussed below are the key judgments and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation and uncertainty on the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Development expenses

Development expenses are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy described in note (4). Initial capitalization of costs is based on management judgment assuming that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalized, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the assets, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits. See note (12) for the carrying amounts involved.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets on each reporting date. Goodwill and other indefinite life intangibles are tested for impairment annually and at other times when such indicators exist. Other non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When value-in-use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of these cash flows. See note (11) and (12) for the carrying amounts involved.

Employee Benefits

Pension and similar post-employment obligations as well as the related expenses are recognized based on actuarial calculations. The actuarial valuation of the present value of pension obligations depends on a number of assumptions regarding the discount rate, the expected salary increase rate, the expected pension trend, and life expectancy. In the event that changes in the assumptions regarding the valuation parameters are required, the future amounts of the pension obligations as well as the pension benefit costs may be affected materially. For further details on the valuation of pension obligations, see note (16).

Share-based compensation transactions

The group measures the cost of equity-settled and cashsettled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments on the date at which they are granted or on the balance sheet date. Estimating fair value requires determining the most appropriate valuation model for a grant of equity instruments, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This also requires determining the expected life of the option, volatility and dividend yield, as well as further assumptions. See note (29) for the carrying amounts involved.

Provisions

Significant estimates are involved in the determination of provisions related to warranty costs and legal proceedings a. The estimate of warranty claims is based on historic data and is extrapolated into the future. Legal proceedings often involve complex legal issues and are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, management exercises considerable judgment in determining whether there is a present obligation as a result of a past event at the end of the reporting period, whether it is more likely than not that such a proceeding will result in an outflow of resources and whether the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Other provisions are described in note (16).

Transaction price for customer loyalty programs

Points accumulated for purchases provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a contract. The transaction price is allocated to the product and the points on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Management estimates the selling price per point on the basis of the discount granted when the points are redeemed and on the basis of the likelihood of redemption, based on past experience.

Accounting for combined supply and service contracts

Adtran Networks provides contracts that have more than one separate performance obligation (multiple element arrangements). The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract by reference to their relative standalone selling prices.If a standalone selling price is not directly observable Adtran Networks will need to estimate it. These estimates have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognition.

Leases

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

Taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expenses already recorded. The group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective group company's domicile.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available to utilize these losses. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. See note (24) for the carrying amounts involved.

Non-financial risks

The assessment of the impact of non-financial risks (global warming, circular economy, new regulations) on the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities is based on significant management judgments and assumptions. Non-financial risks are assessed by management as long-term risks that currently have no significant impact on net realizable values, recoverable amounts, useful lives or the requirement to recognize provisions.

(5) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include current funds as well as current financial assets with a remaining maturity that does not exceed three months and that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and only subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

On June 30, 2023, cash of EUR 2,940 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 2,669 thousand) held in China is subject to local exchange control regulations. These local regulations provide for restrictions on exporting capital from the country, other than through normal dividends.

Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates.

Cash equivalents are invested for varying periods of between one day and three months, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

(6) Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable are non-interest-bearing and are due within 30 to 120 days in general. For specific projects, other payment terms may be agreed.

Gross and net trade accounts receivable are as follows:

(in thousands of EUR) Jun. 30,
2023
Dec. 31,
2022
Gross trade accounts receivable 119,493 127,547

Until end of Q3 2022 the group had a supplier finance agreement, which entitled the transfer of trade receivables from a specific customer. Credit risks and settlement risks were transferred to the financing institution. The group fully derecognized sold trade receivables as all risks and rewards are transferred. ADVA paid an annual fee amounting to LIBOR plus 0.75 % on the volume of receivables transferred. In 6M 2022, the group incurred interest expenses of EUR 75 thousand pertaining to this arrangement.

In Q2 2020, the group concluded another revolving factoring agreement with a maximum annual volume of EUR 20,000 thousand. The contract entitles to transfer uninsured trade receivables with certain customers. The agreement is for an indefinite period . The risks relevant to the risk assessment in relation to the receivables sold are the default risk and the late payment risk. As of June 30, 2023, receivables amounting to EUR 13,497 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 13,893 thousand) were sold, of which EUR 1,069 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 1,113 thousand) was not paid out as reserve. These reserves are recognized in other assets.

The group accounts for the sold trade receivables from the revolving factoring agreement in the amount of their continuing involvement. On June 30, 2023, the continuing involvement asset in the amount of EUR 540 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 560 thousand) was recognized as a liability and includes the maximum loss for the default and late payment risk for Adtran Networks. The fair value of these guarantees or the interest payments to be made were recognized in the profit and loss statement and also recognized as other liabilities in the amount of EUR 99 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 102 thousand).

On June 30, 2023, trade accounts receivable include receivables of EUR 35,977 thousand related to the existing sale of receivables agreement (December 31, 2022: EUR 9,877 thousand), for which no transfer had taken place as of June 30, 2023.

(7) Inventories

In 6M 2023, impairment of inventories amounting to EUR 7,086 thousand (6M 2022: EUR 3,787 thousand) was recognized as an expense within cost of goods sold. This amount includes reversals of earlier write-downs amounting to EUR 932 thousand (6M 2022: EUR 1,035 thousand) due to higher selling and input prices.

In 6M 2023 and 6M 2022, material costs of EUR 176,129 thousand and EUR 165,500 thousand, respectively, have been recognized.

(24) Income tax

The tax expenses in 6M 2023 and 6M 2022 result from the application of the expected tax rate of the group to the current IFRS result. The expected tax rate is calculated based on a tax planning for the financial year.

(25) Consolidated cash flow statement

The consolidated cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 7.

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term cash and short-term financial assets whose remaining maturity does not exceed three months. Bank overdrafts are reported in financial liabilities.

Cash flows from investing and financing activities are determined directly, whereas the cash flow from operating activities is derived indirectly from the consolidated income before tax. When cash flow from operating activities is calculated, the changes in assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of currency translation. As a result, it is not possible to reconcile the figures to the differences in the published consolidated statement of financial position.

The movements of liabilities from financing activities are as follows:

Adtran Holdings,
Total liabilities from
(in thousands of EUR) Lease liabilities Liabilities to banks Inc. financing activities

Cash and cash equivalents to which the group only has restricted access are explained in note (5).

(26) Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the way information is reported internally to the chief operating decision maker, i.e. the management board, and regularly reviewed to make decisions about resources to be assigned to the segment and assess its performance. The internal organizational and management structure and the structure of internal financial reporting activities are the key factors in determining what information is reported. For making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment, management does not monitor the operating results separately on the level of business units. Therefore the reporting on individual business segment does not apply.

Within the Adtran Networks group, management decisions are based on pro forma EBIT. Pro forma financial information excludes non-cash charges related to share-based compensation plans and amortization and impairment of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets. Additionally, expenses related to M&A and restructuring measures are not included. Income from capitalization of development expenses is shown as a separate line item and not deducted from research and development expenses.

Forward-looking statements

This document contains forward-looking statements using words such as "believes", "anticipates" and "expects" to describe expected revenues and earnings, anticipated demand for optical networking solutions, internal estimates and liquidity. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the management board and respective assumptions made, and involve a number of unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Adtran Networks' control. If one or more of these uncertainties or risks materializes, or if the underlying assumptions of the management board prove incorrect, actual results can differ materially from those described in or inferred from forward-looking statements and information. Adtran Networks' supply chain has been affected by the global semiconductor crisis: component delivery times have increased significantly and, despite many countermeasures, Adtran Networks' delivery times to customers are also increasing. Although potential future component bottlenecks are systematically identified and analyzed, and supply chain management actively counteracts them, the risk remains that not all customers can be supplied within a timeframe that is satisfactory to them. In addition, the management board sees short-term risks on the purchasing side, as delivery times have already been reduced and customers are actively managing their own inventories. There is therefore a risk that customers will currently order less and reduce their inventories. All risks and uncertainties remain unchanged and are explained in the "risk and opportunity report" section of the Group Management Report 2022.

Glossary

Capital employed

The capital employed is the difference between the average balance sheet total and the average current liabilities of the previous 12M period, calculated as the arithmetic average of the quarterly balance sheet date values.

DPO (days payable outstanding)

The key figure indicates the average number of days between receipt of invoice and outgoing payment.

DSO (days sales outstanding)

The key figure describes the average number of days between invoicing and receipt of payment.

Net cash

Net cash is calculated by subtracting financial debt comprising of current and non-current liabilities to banks and third-parties and current and non-current lease liabilities according to IFRS 16 Leases from cash and cash equivalents. A negative calculation result is referred to as net debt .

Net promoter score (NPS)

The NPS is obtained by asking customers a single question on a 0 to 10 rating scale: "How likely is it that you would recommend our company to a friend or colleague?". Based on their responses, customers are categorized into one of three groups: promoters (9–10 rating), passives (7–8 rating), and detractors (0–6 rating). The percentage of detractors is then subtracted from the percentage of promoters to obtain a net promoter score.

Pro forma EBIT

Pro forma EBIT is calculated prior to non-cash charges related to the stock compensation programs and amortization and impairment of goodwill and acquisitionrelated intangible assets. Additionally, non-recurring expenses related to M&A and restructuring measures are not included.

ROCE (return on capital employed)

ROCE is the operating result for the previous 12M period divided by the capital employed.

Working capital

Working capital is defined as the total of trade accounts receivable and inventories less trade accounts payable.

Working capital ratio

The working capital ratio shows the net working capital on the balance sheet date in relation to the revenues of the current period.
