By Shares of Cambium Networks took a significant hit as the broadband network infrastructure company reported a decline in second-quarter sales, resulting in a revision of its full-year outlook. Additionally, a new CEO has been appointed to lead the company.
Sales Decline and Revised Outlook
Cambium Networks experienced a 14% drop in second-quarter sales, falling to $59.5 million compared to the anticipated $76.6 million. This decline can be attributed to mounting inventories and economic slowdowns in various regions around the world. As a result, the company’s stock plummeted to $11.53 per share, reaching its lowest level since last year. Overall, Cambium Networks’ stock has suffered a 47% decline this year.
In response to the challenging market conditions, Cambium Networks has initiated a cost-cutting program aimed at reducing expenses by $14 million annually. The company is determined to address these setbacks and position itself for future growth.
New Leadership Announcement
To navigate through these difficult times, Cambium Networks announced the immediate departure of Chief Executive Atul Bhatnagar. He will be succeeded by Morgan Kurk, a former executive of Honeywell. Bhatnagar, however, will remain on the company’s board, providing his insights and expertise.
Revised Sales and Earnings Forecast
Given the current challenges faced by the company, Cambium Networks has revised its full-year sales and earnings outlook. The company now expects annual sales to be in the range of $265 million to $275 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 7% to 11%. This revised projection deviates from the previous forecast of $327 million to $337 million.
Furthermore, the company has adjusted its earnings guidance. Cambium Networks now anticipates full-year adjusted earnings in the range of 59 cents to 78 cents per share, a significant decrease from the prior guidance of $1.18 to $1.26 per share.
Despite these setbacks, Cambium Networks remains dedicated to overcoming the challenges it faces and continuing to deliver valuable broadband network infrastructure solutions to its customers.
