NETGEAR, Inc. NTGR reported second-quarter 2025 non-GAAP earnings per share of 6 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 16 cents. The company incurred a non-GAAP loss of 74 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
NETGEAR generated net revenues of $170.5 million, beating the consensus estimate by 5.3%. The figure also surpassed the company’s guidance of $155-$170 million. Revenues rose 18.5% on a year-over-year basis and 5.2% sequentially. The company revealed that the successful channel destocking plan in 2024 and operational discipline drove the results.
NTGR generated $9 million of recurring services revenues in the reported quarter. It now has 559,000 recurring subscribers. In the second quarter, NTGR acquired Exium to add security specifically designed for small and medium enterprises to its NETGEAR for Business (“NFB”) portfolio.
NETGEAR is now reporting revenues under three segments, NFB, Mobile and Home networking.
NTGR noted that within the NFB segment, it continues to witness lengthy lead times for supply, though demand for its ProAV line of managed switches remains robust. This is likely to restrict the realization of the full revenue potential of this segment. The Home Networking segment will benefit from an expanded product portfolio. Mobile segment revenues are expected to be in line with the second quarter. Net revenues for the third quarter are predicted between $165 million and $180 million.
The company’s shares gained 4.4% in yesterday’s after-market trading session. In the past year, shares of NTGR have skyrocketed 50.1% compared with the Computer-Networking industry’s growth of 43%.
Driven by the ongoing momentum for ProAV managed switch products (up double-digit year-over-year across all geographic regions), revenues from the NFB segment jumped 38% year over year to $82.6 million. NTGR continues to witness supply constraints around certain managed switch products, leading to constrained revenue expectations for the same in the second half.
However, NTGR is carrying a higher backlog for ProAV Managed Switch products despite the challenged supply, but anticipates gradual improvement through the first quarter of 2026.
Due to weaker-than-expected service provider sales, the Mobile segment’s revenues of $20.4 million fell 16.1% year over year and 5% sequentially. The company remains focused on executing its ‘good-better-best' strategy with product launches scheduled for later in the year.
Home Networking business revenues jumped 13.1% on a year-over-year basis and 10% sequentially to $67.5 million. A favorable product mix stemming from the expansion of the product portfolio, improved operational footprint and progress in selling old inventory acted as major catalysts.
Our estimates for NFB, Mobile and Home Networking stood at $76.9 million, $63.6 million and $21.5 million, respectively.
