NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Extreme Networks, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Extreme” or the “Company”), is a leader in providing software-driven networking solutions for enterprise customers. The Company conducts its sales and marketing activities on a worldwide basis through distributors, resellers, and the Company’s field sales organization. Extreme was incorporated in California in 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Extreme included herein have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and the financial condition of Extreme at December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal 2026 or any future periods.
Fiscal Year
The Company uses a fiscal calendar year ending on June 30. All references herein to “fiscal 2026” represent the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. All references herein to “fiscal 2025” represent the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Extreme and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company predominantly uses the United States Dollar as its functional currency. The functional currency for certain of its foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. For those subsidiaries that operate in a local functional currency environment, all assets and liabilities are translated to United States Dollars at current month end rates of exchange and revenues, and expenses are translated using the monthly average rate.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recently adopted accounting standards which would have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. This ASU provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures. The standard introduces a new disclosure principle for interim reporting to help entities determine whether disclosures not specified in Topic 270 should be provided in interim periods. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements. This ASU amends certain aspects of existing guidance to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of the Company’s risk management activities. ASU 2025-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-06 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets to address challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-05 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve disclosures about public business entities’ expenses and to provide more detailed information around the types of expenses included in commonly presented expense captions. Additionally, in January 2025 the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied on a prospective basis or on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance income tax disclosures primarily through changes in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. The Company will be adopting ASU 2023-09 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales of its networking equipment, with the remaining revenues generated from sales of subscription and support, which primarily includes software subscriptions delivered as software as a service (“SaaS”) and additional revenues from maintenance contracts, professional services and training for its products. The Company sells its products, SaaS and maintenance contracts to customers and partners in two distribution channels, or tiers. The first tier consists of a limited number of independent distributors that stock the Company's products and sell primarily to resellers. The second tier of the distribution channel consists of non-stocking distributors and value-added resellers that sell primarily to end-users. Products and subscription and support may be sold separately or in bundled packages.
Revenue Recognition
Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Certain of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations, as the promise to transfer individual goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells these products. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the stand-alone selling prices using other observable inputs.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefits provided. Substantially all of the Company’s product sales revenues are recognized at a point in time. Substantially all of the Company’s subscription and support revenues are recognized over time. For revenues recognized over time, the Company primarily uses an input measure, days elapsed, to measure progress.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $642.9 million of remaining performance obligations, which is primarily comprised of deferred SaaS subscription and deferred support revenues. The Company expects to recognize approximately 30% of its deferred revenue as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2026, an additional 34% in fiscal 2027, and the remaining 36% of the balance thereafter.
Contract Balances. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Services provided under renewable SaaS subscription and support arrangements of the Company are billed in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which are either billed fully at the inception of contract or at periodic intervals (e.g., quarterly or annually). The Company generally receives payments from its customers in advance of services being provided, resulting in deferred revenues. These liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Revenue recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $107.6 million and $101.3 million, respectively. Revenue recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $193.7 million and $183.3 million, respectively.
Contract Costs. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Management expects that commission fees paid to sales representatives as a result of obtaining subscription and support contracts and contract renewals are recoverable and therefore the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets included capitalized balances in the amount of $29.4 million and $26.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Capitalized commissions are included within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized commission fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period of service contracts of approximately three years, and are included in “Sales and marketing” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Amortization recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $6.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively.
Estimated Variable Consideration. There were no material changes in the current period to the estimated variable consideration for performance obligations, which were satisfied or partially satisfied during previous periods.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents invoiced amounts for deferred subscription and support and other deferred revenue including professional services and training when the revenue recognition criteria have not been met.
Guarantees and Product Warranties
The majority of the Company’s hardware products are shipped with either a one-year warranty or a limited lifetime warranty, and software products receive a 90-day warranty. Upon shipment of products to its customers, the Company estimates expenses for the cost to repair or replace products that may be returned under warranty and accrues a liability in cost of product revenues for this amount. The determination of the Company’s warranty requirements is based on actual historical experience with the product or product family, estimates of repair and replacement costs, and any product warranty problems that are identified after shipment. The Company estimates and adjusts these accruals at each balance sheet date in accordance with changes in these factors.

To facilitate sales of its products in the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies its resellers and end-user customers with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the customer harmless against losses arising from intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. It is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material impact on its operating results or financial position.
Concentrations
The Company may be subject to concentration of credit risk as a result of certain financial instruments consisting of accounts receivable. See Note 3, Revenues, for the Company’s accounts receivable concentration. The Company does not invest an amount exceeding 10% of its combined cash in the securities of any one obligor or maker, except for obligations of the United States government, obligations of United States government agencies, and money market accounts.

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 Assets and Liabilities:
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The Company states accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment.
Level 2 Assets and Liabilities:
The Company's level 2 assets consist of certificates of deposit and derivative instruments. Certificates of deposit do not have regular market pricing and are considered Level 2. The fair value of derivative instruments under the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and zero-cost collar contracts are estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs, which is considered Level 2.
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company had investment in certificates of deposit of $6.2 million and $6.1 million, respectively, with maturity of three months at the date of purchase, which are recorded as cash equivalents in the condensed
13
consolidated balance sheets. The Company considers these cash equivalents to be available-for-sale and, as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, their fair value approximated their amortized cost.
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts that were not designated as hedging instruments with a total notional principal amount of $68.4 million and $57.2 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net gains and losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations were net losses of $0.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net gains and losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations were net losses of $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. See Note 12, Derivatives and Hedging, for additional information.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments with a total notional principal amount of $55.1 million. As of June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments. The changes in fair value of these zero-cost collar contracts designated as hedging instruments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” related to the changes in the fair value of the zero-cost collar contracts are reclassified into the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period that the hedged item impacts earnings. For each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, these contracts had unrealized losses of $0.2 million which are recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss". See Note 12, Derivatives and Hedging, for additional information.
The fair value of borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7) is estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which is considered Level 2. Since the interest rate is variable in the Amended Credit Agreement, the fair value approximates the face amount of the Company’s indebtedness of $172.5 million and $180.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
Level 3 Assets and Liabilities:
Certain of the Company’s assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis if impairment is indicated.
As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities that were considered Level 3.
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. There were no impairments recorded for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

On June 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as issuing lenders, the financial institutions or entities party thereto as lenders, and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated August 9, 2019, by and among the Company, as borrower, several banks and other financial institutions as Lenders, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Silicon Valley Bank, as an Issuing Lender, and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for i) a $200.0 million first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount (the “2023 Term Loan”), ii) a $150.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Facility”) and, iii) an uncommitted additional incremental loan facility in the principal amount of up to $100.0 million.
Borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest, and at the Company’s election, the initial term loan may be made as either a base rate loan or a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) loan. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, and the applicable margin for SOFR loans ranges from 2.00% to 2.75%, in each case based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. All SOFR loans are subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum and spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum. The Company paid other closing fees, arrangement fees, and administration fees associated with the 2023 Credit Agreement.
15
The 2023 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2023 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of its property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The 2023 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.
On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Number One to the 2023 Credit Agreement (the 2023 Credit Agreement as amended by that certain Amendment Number One, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company modified the definition of the consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of evaluating compliance with financial covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The amended definition of consolidated EBITDA modifies the amount and type of add-backs that are allowable to better align with the Company's operations and activities. Further, the Amended Credit Agreement provided a waiver for the Company's compliance with the consolidated interest charge coverage ratio for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the modified terms and financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness or credit agreement. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations was $0.3 million for each of the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and was $0.6 million for each of the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The interest rate was 5.92% and 6.84% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any outstanding balance against its 2023 Revolving Facility and had $135.8 million of availability for borrowing under the 2023 Revolving Facility. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not make any additional payments against its term loan facility other than the scheduled payments per the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Company had $14.2 million of outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2025.
Purchase Commitments
The Company currently has arrangements with contract manufacturers and suppliers for the manufacture of its products. Those arrangements allow the contract manufacturers to procure long lead-time component inventory based upon a rolling production forecast provided by the Company. The Company is obligated to purchase long lead-time component inventory that its contract manufacturer procures in accordance with the forecast, unless the Company gives notice of order cancellation outside of applicable component lead-times. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had commitments to purchase $52.2 million of inventory.
The Company may from time to time be party to litigation arising in the course of its business, including, without limitation, allegations relating to commercial transactions, business relationships, or intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Litigation in general, and intellectual property litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not record a loss accrual. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of any prior accrual) is at least reasonably possible and material, then the Company would disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made, or disclose that an estimate cannot be made. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or a reasonable possibility, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Even if a loss is reasonably possible, the Company may not be able to estimate a range of possible loss, particularly where (i) the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories or a large number of parties. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including the amount of any possible loss, fine or penalty. However, an adverse resolution of one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.
Mala Technologies Ltd. v. Extreme Networks GmbH, Extreme Networks Ireland Ops Ltd., and Extreme Networks, Inc.
On April 15, 2021, Mala Technologies Ltd. (“Mala”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company and its Irish and German subsidiaries in the District Court in Dusseldorf, Germany. The lawsuit alleges indirect infringement of the German portion of a patent (“EP ‘498”) based on the offer and sale in Germany of certain network switches equipped with the ExtremeXOS operating system.
16
Mala is seeking injunctive relief, accounting, and an unspecified declaration of liability for damages and costs of the lawsuit. On December 20, 2022, the trial court ruled that the Company did not infringe the EP ‘498 patent and dismissed Mala’s complaint entirely. Mala has filed an appeal. On December 9, 2024, the Higher Regional Court stayed the matter until the nullity action has been finally decided.
The Company filed a nullity complaint against EP ‘498 with the German Federal Patent Court on September 24, 2021. The German Federal Patent Court issued a decision finding that the patent was invalid on November 20, 2024. Mala appealed the decision on March 3, 2025, and filed its Grounds of Appeal on June 5, 2025. The Company filed its response to the Grounds of Appeal on October 6, 2025.
Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security Funds v. Extreme Networks, Inc., et al.
On August 13, 2024, a putative securities class action (the “Class Action”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security Funds v. Extreme Networks, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:24-cv-05102-TLT, naming the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers as defendants. The lawsuit is purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of Extreme Networks securities between July 27, 2022 and January 30, 2024 (the “Class Period”). The complaint alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly false and misleading statements about the Company's business and prospects during the Class Period. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. On December 30, 2024, the Court selected Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System, Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System, Oakland County Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association, Oakland County Employees’ Retirement System as the lead plaintiffs. The Company's Motion to Dismiss was granted on August 15, 2025, but the plaintiffs were granted leave to file a second amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on September 9, 2025. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on October 3, 2025.
On February 27, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Turner v. Brown et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-02101. On March 6, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Hemani v. Meyercord et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-02318-AGT. On March 25, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina captioned Miller v. Meyercord et al., Case No. 5:25-cv-00161. Each of these shareholder derivative cases names current and former officers, directors, and employees of the Company as defendants, and seeks recovery on behalf of the Company based on substantially the same allegations as the Class Action. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in the two California shareholder derivative cases on December 1, 2025. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on December 19, 2025. The North Carolina case remains stayed pending a decision on the motion to dismiss the second amended complaint in the Class Action.
Indemnification Obligations
Subject to certain limitations, the Company may be obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers, and employees. These obligations arise under the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and applicable law. The obligation to indemnify, where applicable, generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse, and in certain circumstances the Company has paid or reimbursed, the individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possible damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with certain legal matters. The Company also procures Directors and Officers liability insurance to help cover its defense and/or indemnification costs, although its ability to recover such costs through insurance is uncertain. While it is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount that could be owed under these governing documents and agreements due to the Company’s limited history with prior indemnification claims, indemnification (including defense) costs could, in the future, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Equity Incentive Plan
The Compensation Committee of the Board unanimously approved an amendment to the Extreme Networks, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) on September 14, 2025 to increase the maximum number of available shares by 6.8 million shares, which was approved by the stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting of stockholders held on November 12, 2025.
Common Stock Repurchases
On February 18, 2025, the Company announced that the Board had authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of shares of the Company's common stock over a three-year period, commencing July 1, 2025 (the “2025 Repurchase Program”). Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan.
17
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 577,281 shares of its common stock on the open market at a total cost of $12.0 million with an average price of $20.79 per share. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $188.0 million remains available for share repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program.
As a provision of the Inflation Reduction Act enacted in the U.S., the Company is subject to an excise tax on corporate stock repurchases, which is assessed as one percent of the fair market value of net corporate stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. The Company had no excise tax liability for fiscal 2025 and expects the impact of the excise tax on net corporate stock repurchases will not be material for fiscal 2026.

Stock Awards
Stock awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan on terms approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Stock awards generally provide for the issuance of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) including performance-condition or market-condition RSUs which vest over a fixed period of time or based upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria or market conditions. The Company

The RSUs granted under the 2013 Plan vest over a period of time, generally one to three years, and are subject to participant's continued service to the Company.
During the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 0.8 million stock awards with vesting based on market conditions (“MSU”) to certain of the Company’s employees. The MSUs vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the Russell 2000 Index (“Index”). The MSU award represents the right to receive a target number of shares of common stock of up to 150% of the original grant. The MSUs vest based on the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Index over performance periods of three years from the grant date, subject to the grantees’ continued service through the certification of performance.
The grant date fair value of each MSU was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the TSR MSUs granted during the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $22.23 per share and $17.22 per share, respectively. The following assumptions used to determine the grant-date fair values of the MSU during the following periods:

As of December 31, 2025, there was $119.8 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards, including performance and market condition awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.80 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
There were approximately 0.5 million shares issued under the ESPP during each of the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant-date fair values of the ESPP shares during the following periods:

The Company has one reportable segment, the development, marketing, and sale of network infrastructure equipment and related software. The Company conducts business globally and is managed geographically. Revenues are attributed to a geographical area. The Company operates in three geographical areas: Americas, EMEA, and APAC. See Note 3, Revenues, for additional information on the Company's revenues by geographic region.
Measure of segment profit or loss:
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis and uses consolidated non-GAAP net income to measure segment profit or loss and decide where to allocate and invest additional resources within the business. Consolidated non-GAAP net income is also used in the Company's annual budgeting and forecasting processes to establish goals and compare actual results against both budgeted targets and historical performance.
Consolidated non-GAAP net income is exclusive of certain items that are non-recurring or not consistent with the Company's operations. The CODM reviews and utilizes functional expenses (costs of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative) at the consolidated level to manage and assess the Company's operations. Other segment items included in consolidated non-GAAP net income are interest income, interest expense, other expense, net, and the provision for income taxes, which are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency risk that may or may not be designated as hedging instruments. The Company’s objective for holding derivatives is to use the most effective methods to minimize the impact of these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward or zero-cost collar contracts to attempt to mitigate the effect of gains and losses generated by foreign currency transactions related to certain forecasted operating expenses and remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
For foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a gain position are recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and derivatives in a loss position are recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments had a total notional principal amount of $68.4 million and $57.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net gains and losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations from these contracts were net losses of $0.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net gains and losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations were net losses of $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are offset largely by remeasurement of the underlying assets and liabilities.
Zero-Cost Collar Contracts
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with forecasted foreign currency denominated operating expenses. The changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" related to the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reclassified to the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments with a total notional principal amount of $55.1 million and had maturities of less than twelve months. As of June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, these contracts had unrealized losses of $0.2 million which are recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" and realized net losses of less than $0.1 million reclassified to the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Foreign Currency Transactions
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized foreign currency transaction net losses of less than $0.1 million and foreign currency transaction net gains of $2.8 million, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized foreign currency transaction net gains of $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
The Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.5 million and $2.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These charges primarily included severance and benefits costs and professional fees as well as asset disposal costs related to the restructuring plans executed in prior years.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company executed a global reduction-in-force plan targeted towards the reorganization of the Company's research and development and sales and marketing functions to align the Company's workforce with its strategic priorities and to focus on specific geographies and industry segments with higher growth opportunities (the “Q3 2024 Plan”). During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not record any restructuring charges related to the Q3 2024 Plan. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.4 million related to the Q3 2024 Plan, which primarily consisted of severance and benefits expenses, legal and consulting fees. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the Q3 2024 Plan. These charges primarily consisted of severance and benefits expenses, legal and consulting fees.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company executed a global reduction-in-force plan to rebalance its workforce to create greater efficiency and improve execution, in alignment with the Company's business and strategic priorities, while reducing its ongoing operating expenses to address reduced revenue and macro-economic conditions (the “Q2 2024 Plan”). During the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded restructuring benefits of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the Q2 2024 Plan, which primarily consisted of reversals of previously established accruals related to unused severance benefits. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded restructuring charges of less than $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the Q2 2024 Plan, which primarily consisted of severance and benefits expenses, legal and consulting fees.
Through December 31, 2025, the Company has incurred $28.6 million in restructuring charges under the Q2 2024 Plan and Q3 2024 Plan which primarily related to severance and benefits costs. As of December 31, 2025 these plans were substantially complete.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to transform its business infrastructure and reduce its facilities footprint and the facilities related charges (the “2023 Plan”). As part of this project, the Company moved engineering labs from its San Jose, California location to its Salem, New Hampshire location. This move is expected to help reduce the cost of operating the Company's labs. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded charges of $0.3 million for asset disposals related to the 2023 Plan. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded restructuring charges of approximately $0.1 million related to the 2023 Plan. As of December 31, 2025 this plan was complete.
Restructuring liabilities are recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the restructuring liability was less than $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to these restructuring plans.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $5.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
The income tax provisions for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, consisted of (1) taxes on the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, (2) state taxes in jurisdictions where the Company has no remaining state net operating losses (“NOLs”), (3) foreign withholding taxes, and (4) tax expense associated with the establishment of a U.S. deferred tax liability for amortizable goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Enterasys Networks, Inc., the wireless local area network business from Zebra Technologies Corporation, the Campus Fabric Business from Avaya and the Data Center Business from Brocade. The interim income tax provisions for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were calculated using the discrete effective tax rate method as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, Income Taxes – Interim Reporting. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as (i) the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual
pretax earnings on a jurisdictional basis and (ii) the Company’s ongoing assessment that the recoverability of certain U.S. and Irish deferred tax assets is not more likely than not.
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as well as a portion of the deferred tax assets in Ireland. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that deferred tax assets are recoverable including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, changes to enacted tax laws, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies; such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company's inconsistent earnings in recent periods, including historical losses, tax attributes expiring unutilized in recent years and the cyclical nature of the Company's business provides sufficient negative evidence that require a full valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as well as a portion of the deferred tax assets in Ireland. These valuation allowances will be evaluated periodically and can be reversed partially or in whole if business results and the economic environment have sufficiently improved to support realization of some or all of the Company's deferred tax assets. In the event the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, it will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
The Company had $18.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025. If fully recognized in the future, $0.1 million would impact the effective tax rate and $18.1 million would result in adjustments to deferred tax assets and corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance with no impact to the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate any events to occur during the next twelve months that would materially reduce the unrealized tax benefit as currently stated in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of tax expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In general, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal years 2004 forward due to NOLs and the Company’s state income tax returns are subject to examination for fiscal years 2005 and forward due to NOLs. In general, the Company’s Irish tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal years 2022 and forward.
The Company is currently under examination in the U.S. by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended June 30, 2023. Management believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any potential assessments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.
On July 4, 2025, federal legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes numerous changes to existing tax law including provisions providing current deductibility of domestic research and development costs, modifications to the limitation on deductibility of business interest expense and modifications to the international tax framework. This legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective for the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and others for the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2027. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The effects of the new legislation are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2025.

Industry Background
Enterprises across every industry are going through unprecedented changes, such as digital transformation initiatives, migrating their workloads to cloud-based environments, modernizing applications, finding new ways to leverage generative, multimodal and agentic AI technology, and adapting to a distributed workforce. To accomplish this, they are adopting new Information Technology (“IT”) delivery models and applications that require fundamental network alterations and enhancements spanning from the access edge to the data center. As networks become more complex and more distributed in nature, we believe IT teams in every industry will need more control and better insights than ever before to deliver secure, distributed connectivity and comprehensive centralized visibility. Networking is mission critical and touches all elements of how services are delivered to customers, employees, students, and patients. Managing networks from a single platform that integrates AI networking and security is critical to help reduce complexity and minimize the time it takes to complete tasks. A new category has emerged in the industry to address challenges related to managing the breadth and depth of complexities related to network administration, deployment and on-going management termed AI for networking. This new category is defined by innovation in generative, multimodal and agentic AI technology.
As the edge of the network continues to expand, our customers are managing more endpoints which comes with a host of challenges. This continued expansion creates issues such as a higher risk of cyberattacks and a need for more bandwidth due to an increase in applications running across the network.
Network complexity manifests itself in the form of more endpoints to manage, more applications to monitor, and more services that rely on the network for service delivery and enablement. When performance suffers, and the tug on internal systems and IT staff becomes more intense, technology is often being overworked. Resolving network problems expeditiously and identifying their root cause can improve organizational productivity and result in higher performance of operations. AI for networking is needed to improve an IT team’s agility and responsiveness to address these challenges.
We believe that the network has never been more vital than it is today. As administrators grapple with more data, coming from more places, more connected devices, and more Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) based applications, the cloud is fundamental to managing and maintaining a modern network. Traditional network offerings are not well-suited to fulfill enterprise expectations for rapid delivery of new services, more flexible business models, real-time response, and massive scalability. We expect Extreme Platform ONE to deliver significant productivity gains for IT teams by streamlining network design, deployment, management, and commercial operations through its generative, multimodal, and agentic AI capabilities.
As enterprises continue to migrate increasing numbers of applications and services to either private clouds or public clouds offered by third parties and to adopt new IT delivery models and applications, they are required to make fundamental network alterations and enhancements spanning from wireless access points (“APs”) to the network core. In either case, the network infrastructure must adapt to this new dynamic environment. AI and automation are key if enterprises are to derive maximum benefit from their cloud deployments. With automation applications becoming increasingly critical in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, healthcare and other key industries, we believe this will continue to create demand for networking technology to serve as a foundation to run these services.
Service providers are investing in network enhancements with platforms and applications that deliver data insights, provide flexibility, and can quickly respond to new user demands and 5G use cases. The scale of issues and challenges seen within service provider networks is even greater than the enterprise network—thus they too can greatly benefit from operational gains from Extreme Platform ONE.
We believe Extreme will continue to benefit from the use of its technology to manage distributed campus network architecture centrally from the cloud. Extreme has blended a dynamic network fabric architecture that delivers simplicity for moves and changes at the edge of the network together with corporate-wide role-based policy. This enables customers to migrate to new cloud-managed switching, Wi-Fi, and SD-WAN, agnostic of the existing switching or wireless equipment they already have installed. In the end, we expect these customers to see lower operating and capital expenditures, lower subscription costs, lower overall cost of ownership and more flexibility along with a more resilient network, powered by Extreme Platform ONE.
We estimate the total addressable market (“TAM”) for our networking solutions, consisting of cloud networking, wireless local area networks (“WLAN”), campus local area networks (“LAN”), Ethernet switching, data center networking, SD-WAN solutions, and elements of the Secure Access Service Edge (“SASE”), exceeded $42 billion in calendar year 2024. Based on data from 650 Group, Gartner, IDC, and Dell'Oro Group, demand is projected to grow at a five-year compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 7%, reaching $59 billion by 2029. Within this market, cloud-managed networking solutions are expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 15% through 2029. And with Extreme Platform ONE, we are addressing AI Networking for the Campus, a high-growth segment forecasted to grow at a 72% CAGR over the next five years.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs (which consist of compensation, benefits and share-based compensation), legal and professional service costs, and facilities and information technology costs.
General and administrative expenses increased by $8.5 million or 32.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $3.8 million increase in professional fees, a $2.4 million increase in personnel costs due to higher headcount and higher salaries and benefits costs, a $2.4 million increase in system transition costs, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in legal costs related to litigation matters.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million or 1.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $4.4 million increase in personnel costs due to higher headcount and higher salaries and benefits costs, a $3.1 million increase in professional fees, a $2.0 million increase in software licensing costs and a $2.0 million increase in system transition costs, partially offset by a $8.8 million decrease in legal costs related to litigation matters, a $1.2 million decrease in depreciation costs and a $0.4 million decrease in other expenses primarily related to information technology and equipment costs.
Restructuring and Related Charges
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which primarily consisted of asset disposal costs and reversals of previously established accruals related to unused severance benefits associated with the reduction-in-force actions related to the “Q2 2024 Plan”, and “2023 Plan”, each as described in Note 13, Restructuring and Related Charges, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded restructuring and related charges of $1.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which primarily consisted of additional severance and benefits costs and professional services fees associated with the reduction-in-force actions related to the “Q2 2024 Plan”, and “Q3 2024 Plan”, each as described in Note 13, Restructuring and Related Charges, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.4 million and $0.5 million of operating expenses, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets.
During the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.9 million and $1.0 million of operating expenses, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets.
31
Interest Income
During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily related to the higher interest earned on our cash accounts due to higher interest rates as well as higher cash and cash equivalents balances held during the second quarter in fiscal 2026.
During the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in interest income. The increase in interest income was primarily related to the higher interest earned on our cash accounts due to interest rates as well as higher cash and cash equivalents balances held during the first half of fiscal 2026.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $3.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, in interest expense related to the debt obligations held under our Amended Credit Agreement. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average rates under the Amended Credit Agreement.
During the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $7.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively, in interest expense related to the debt obligations held under our Amended Credit Agreement. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average rates under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Other Income (Expense), Net
During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded other expense, net of $0.4 million and other income, net of $0.7 million, respectively. The other income (expense), net for each period primarily related to the foreign exchange impact from the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars.
During the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded other expense, net of $0.8 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The other expense, net for each period primarily related to the foreign exchange impact from the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an income tax provision of $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
For the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an income tax provision of $5.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
The income tax provisions for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of (1) taxes on the income of our foreign subsidiaries, (2) state taxes in jurisdictions where we have no remaining state net operating losses, (3) foreign withholding taxes, and (4) tax expense associated with the establishment of a U.S. deferred tax liability for amortizable goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Enterasys Networks, Inc., the WLAN business from Zebra Technologies Corporation, the Campus Fabric Business from Avaya LLC and the Data Center Business from Brocade Communications System.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under SEC rules and regulations. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
As discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, we consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements:
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since the filing of our last Annual Report on Form 10-K.
32
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes information regarding our cash and cash equivalents (in thousands):
As of December 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $219.8 million, accounts receivable, net of $152.4 million, and available borrowings under our 2023 Revolving Facility of $135.8 million. Our principal uses of cash include the purchase of finished goods inventory from our contract manufacturers, payroll and other operating expenses related to the development and marketing of our products, purchases of property and equipment, repayments of debt and related interest and share repurchases. We believe that our $219.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025, our cash flow from operations and the availability of borrowings from the 2023 Revolving Facility will be sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next 12 months and into the foreseeable future.
On February 18, 2025, we announced that our Board had authorized management to repurchase up to $200 million of shares of the Company's common stock over a three-year period, commencing July 1, 2025 (the “2025 Repurchase Program”). Under these repurchase programs, purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan. The manner, timing and amount of any future purchases will be determined by our management based on their evaluation of market conditions, stock price, Extreme’s ongoing determination that it is the best use of available cash and other factors. The 2025 Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any shares of our common stock, and it may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice and will be subject to regulatory considerations. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased a total of 577,281 shares of our common stock on the open market at a total cost of $12.0 million with an average price of $20.79 per share. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $188.0 million available under the 2025 Repurchase Program.
On June 22, 2023, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) by and among Extreme, as borrower, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as issuing lenders, the financial institutions or entities party thereto as lenders, and Bank of Montreal, as an administrative agent and collateral agent, which amended and restated the 2019 Credit Agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for i) a $200.0 million first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount (the “Term Facility”), ii) a $150.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Facility”) and iii) an uncommitted additional incremental loan facility in the principal amount of up to $100.0 million plus an unlimited amount that is subject to pro forma compliance with a specified Consolidated Leverage Ratio tests. We may use the proceeds of the loans for working capital and general corporate purposes.
At our election, the initial term loan under the 2023 Credit Agreement may be made as either a base rate loan or a Secured Overnight Financing Rate loan (“SOFR loan”). The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, and the applicable margin for SOFR loans ranges from 2.00% to 2.75%, in each case based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. All SOFR loans are subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum and spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum. We also agreed to pay other closing fees, arrangement fees, and administration fees.
The 2023 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2023 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of its property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The 2023 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.
On August 14, 2024, we entered into an Amendment Number One to the 2023 Credit Agreement the (the 2023 Credit Agreement as amended by that certain Amendment Number One, “Amended Credit Agreement”). Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we modified the definition of the consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of evaluating compliance with financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement. The amended definition of consolidated EBITDA modifies the amount and type of add-backs that are allowable to better align with our operations and activities.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the modified terms and financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Key Components of Cash Flows and Liquidity
A summary of the sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents is as follows (in thousands):
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operations in the six months ended December 31, 2025 were $36.1 million, including our net income of $13.5 million and non-cash expenses of $64.0 million for items such as amortization of intangible assets, amortization of cloud computing implementation costs, share-based compensation, depreciation, reduction in carrying amount of right-of-use assets, deferred income taxes, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, provision for credit losses and interest. Other sources of cash for the period included a decrease in inventories and increases in accounts payable, deferred revenue and accrued compensation and benefits. This was partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and other current and non-current assets as well as decreases in operating lease liabilities and other accrued liabilities.
Cash flows provided by operations in the six months ended December 31, 2024 were $40.1 million, including our net loss of $3.1 million and non-cash expenses of $54.7 million for items such as amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, depreciation, reduction in carrying amount of right-of-use assets, deferred income taxes, provision for excess and obsolete inventory and interest. Other sources of cash for the period included a decrease in inventories and increases in accounts payable, deferred revenue and accrued compensation and benefits. This was partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and other assets as well as decreases in operating lease liabilities and other liabilities.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2025 were $13.9 million for the purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
Cash flows used in investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2024 were $12.3 million for the purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2025 were $34.0 million primarily due to share repurchases of $12.0 million under the 2025 Repurchase Program, payments of $14.5 million for taxes paid on vested and released stock awards net of proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and exercise of stock options and debt repayments of $7.5 million.
Cash flows used in financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2024 were $14.0 million primarily due to payments of $8.3 million for taxes paid on vested and released stock awards net of proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our ESPP and exercise of stock options, a payment of $0.7 million for debt financing costs related to the Amended Credit Agreement, and debt repayments of $5.0 million.
Foreign Currency Effect on Cash and cash equivalents
Foreign currency effect on cash and cash equivalents decreased in the six months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and particularly the Indian Rupee, the UK Pound and the Euro.
Contractual Obligations
As of December 31, 2025, we had contractual obligations resulting from our debt arrangement, agreements to purchase goods and services in the ordinary course of business and obligations under our operating lease arrangements.
Our debt obligations relate to amounts owed under our Amended Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, we had $172.5 million of debt outstanding, which is payable on quarterly installments through our fiscal year 2028. We are subject to interest on our debt obligations and unused commitment fee. See Note 7, Debt, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information regarding our debt obligations.
34
Our unconditional purchase obligations represent the purchase of long lead-time component inventory that our contract manufacturers procure in accordance with our forecast. We expect to honor the inventory purchase commitments within the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2025, we had non-cancelable commitments to purchase $52.2 million of inventory. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our purchase obligations.
We have contractual commitments to our suppliers which represent commitments for future services. As of December 31, 2025, we had contractual commitments of $12.9 million that are due through our fiscal year 2027.
We lease facilities under operating lease arrangements at various locations that expire at various dates through our fiscal year 2033. As of December 31, 2025, the value of our obligations under operating leases was $47.9 million.
We have immaterial income tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the settlement of those liabilities.
We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to debt and foreign currencies.
Debt
At certain points in time, we are exposed to the impact of interest rate fluctuations, primarily in the form of variable rate borrowings from the Amended Credit Agreement, which is described in Note 7, Debt, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report. As of December 31, 2025, we had $172.5 million of debt outstanding. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the average daily outstanding amount was $177.6 million, with a high of $201.3 million and a low of $172.5 million.
The following table presents hypothetical changes in interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, on the outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025, that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (in thousands):

* The underlying interest rate was 5.92% as of December 31, 2025.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
A majority of our sales and expenses are denominated in United States Dollars. While we conduct some sales transactions and incur certain operating expenses in foreign currencies and expect to continue to do so, we do not anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be significant, in part because of our foreign exchange risk management process discussed below.
We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward or zero-cost collar contracts to attempt to mitigate the effect of gains and losses generated by foreign currency transactions related to certain forecasted operating expenses and remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in the fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts are offset largely by re-measurement of the underlying foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments had a total notional principal amount of $68.4 million and $55.0 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in “Other income (expense), net.”
Changes in the fair value of our zero-cost collar contracts are recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" related to the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reclassified to the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the same period that the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 31, 2025, zero-cost collar contracts designated as cash flow hedges,
had a total notional principal amount of $55.1 million. As of December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized foreign currency transaction net losses of less than $0.1 million and foreign currency transaction net gains of $2.8 million, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized foreign currency transaction net gains of $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the three months ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our control system’s objective will be met, and our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Extreme Networks have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Notwithstanding these limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.
