— India progress: Renewed purchasing activity from a major carrier improved visibility

— Private network expansion: Began initial stage of a large Latin American smart city project expected to generate multi-year recurring revenue. Also received an initial order from a leading global e-commerce company to modernize its video surveillance connectivity at several dozen North American facilities

— E-band validation: Completed multiple proof-of-concept E-band deployments with Tier-1 operators and a leading ISP, demonstrating extended reach, faster deployment, and lower total cost of ownership

Ceragon's CEO, Doron Arazi, commented: “Ceragon delivered solid financial results with positive free cash flow, while seeing improved visibility in our key markets. Business activity in North America has accelerated, and India showed signs of improvement, giving us more confidence as we move through the fourth quarter. While earnings were impacted by foreign exchange fluctuations related to a project in India, non-GAAP profitability and cash flow performance remained solid.

“Ceragon has the potential to benefit from recent trends in network utilization, including AI evolution,” continued Mr. Arazi. “Service providers and enterprises are increasingly prioritizing network capacity and resilience to handle the increased traffic. Wireless transport is increasingly being considered alongside fiber to deliver redundancy, flexibility, and faster time to market. We believe these dynamics are creating new opportunities for Ceragon. Our E-band and point-to-multipoint technologies directly address these needs, helping carriers and private networks build the next generation of high-capacity, resilient connectivity.

“Combined with improved visibility, these trends increase our confidence in our 2025 outlook. We also expect these trends to enable growth in 2026,” concluded Mr. Arazi.
