Speaker #2: Please go ahead. Good afternoon, everyone. And thank you for joining us today. Q4 2025 was another strong quarter for Inseego. We generated revenue of $48.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $6 million.

Juho Sarvikas: Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Q4 2025 was another strong quarter for Inseego. We generated revenue of $48.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of $6 million, both above our guidance and marking our third consecutive quarter of sequential growth in each metric. These results cap a year of steady, disciplined execution. We exited 2025 with a meaningfully higher quality and more diversified revenue base, driven by broader product breadth and increased customer diversity. Shortly after year-end, we further strengthened our operating momentum by improving our capital structure by retiring all preferred stock. We accomplished this at a meaningful discount, enhancing the company's long-term flexibility and are pleased to welcome Mubadala Capital as a significant common stockholder. Steven will walk through the financials and outlook in more detail later in the call.

Speaker #2: Both of our guidance and marking our third consecutive quarter of sequential growth in each metric. These results cap a year of steady, disciplined execution.

Speaker #2: We exceeded 2025 with a meaningfully higher quality and more diversified revenue base, driven by broader product breadth and increased customer diversity. Shortly after year-end, we further strengthened our operating momentum by improving our capital structure by retiring all preferred stock.

Speaker #2: We accomplished this at a meaningful discount, enhancing the company's long-term flexibility and are pleased to welcome Mubadala Capital, as a significant common stockholder. Steven will walk through the financials and outlook in more detail later in the call.

Speaker #2: I'd like to step back and discuss how our performance in 2025 and our trajectory going into 2026 demonstrates that the strategy I outlined when I stepped in to the CEO role a year ago is working.

Juho Sarvikas: I'd like to step back and discuss how our performance in 2025 and our trajectory going into 2026 demonstrates that the strategy I outlined when I stepped into the CEO role a year ago is working. To frame that discussion, let me briefly revisit our strategy. We are building an enterprise wireless broadband platform that combines cellular-first connectivity with intelligence, manageability, and scalability at the wireless edge. That strategy has remained consistent throughout 2025 and is grounded on 5 clear strategic priorities. First, scaling carrier revenue through a broader enterprise focus, fixed wireless access, and mobile portfolio. Second, accelerating Inseego's evolution into a solutions company by creating a platform that includes industry-leading wireless hardware, network and device management, and subscriber lifecycle management.... Third, expanding and diversifying our routes to market and customer base. Fourth, maintaining financial discipline and strengthening our capital structure.

Speaker #2: Third, expanding and diversifying our roads to market and customer base fourth, maintaining financial discipline and strengthening our capital structure and fifth, building a world-class management team and board of directors to drive long-term growth and scale.

Juho Sarvikas: And fifth, building a world-class management team and board of directors to drive for long-term growth and scale. Our fourth quarter results and 2025 full year progress are consistent proof points of execution against these strategic priorities. With that context, I want to do three things on today's call. First, I'll walk through how we executed in the fourth quarter. Second, discuss what we delivered across the full year in 2025. And third, share how that execution positions Inseego for its next phase of expansion as we move into 2026. With that, let me now turn to my first topic, how we executed in Q4. Starting with our core business of cloud-managed FWA and mobile solutions. We continued to see strong performance from our FX4100 FWA product with T-Mobile during the quarter, reflecting ongoing enterprise demand and solid sell-through.

Speaker #2: Our fourth quarter results and 2025 full-year progress are consistent proof points of execution, against these strategic priorities. With that context, I want to do three things on today's call.

Speaker #2: First, I'll walk through how we executed in the fourth quarter. Second, discuss what we delivered across the full year in 2025. And third, share how that execution positions Inseego for its next phase of expansion as we move into 2026.

Speaker #2: With that, let me now turn to my first topic: how we executed in Q4. Starting with our core business of cloud-managed FWA and mobile solutions.

Speaker #2: We continued to see strong performance from our FX4100 FWA product with T-Mobile during the quarter, reflecting ongoing enterprise demand and solid sell-through. During Q4, we significantly expanded our Tier 1 carrier footprint for fixed wireless access.

Juho Sarvikas: During Q4, we significantly expanded our tier one carrier footprint for fixed wireless access. As we shared on our last call, we meaningfully broadened our reach and customer diversification by securing an FX4200 FWA award with AT&T. Equally importantly, we just announced this Tuesday that we also signed Verizon for the FX4200. Both AT&T and Verizon have placed initial stocking orders, and we expect commercial sales to begin ramping up in earnest in the first half of 2026 as these programs come online. With the addition of Verizon, all three US tier one carriers have now chosen Inseego to support their enterprise FWA offerings. This marks an important inflection point for our business.

Speaker #2: Both AT&T and Verizon have placed initial stocking orders, and we expect commercial sales to begin ramping up in earnest in the first half of 2026 as these programs come online.

Speaker #2: With the addition of Verizon, all three US Tier 1 carriers have now chosen Inseego to support their enterprise FWA offerings. This marks an important inflection point for our business.

Speaker #2: As carriers increasingly position FWA as a primary connectivity solution for businesses, alignment across all three Tier 1 carriers validates our strategy reinforces our position as a partner of choice as enterprise adoption accelerates, and establishes a clear foundation for meaningful growth in 2026.

Juho Sarvikas: As carriers increasingly position FWA as a primary connectivity solution for businesses, alignment across all three tier one carriers validates our strategy, reinforces our position as a partner of choice as enterprise adoption accelerates, and establishes a clear foundation for meaningful growth in 2026. Turning to mobile, our hotspot portfolio delivered its strongest quarter of 2025, with revenue increasing 27% sequentially to $20.4 million. Mobile represents roughly 40% of total company's revenue in Q4, underscoring the increasingly diversified mix of our platforms across mobile, FWA, and software and services. Growth was driven by higher carrier stock volumes and solid channel activity as enterprises expand their use of mobile connectivity. With all three carriers committed to Inseego as a key part of their mobile portfolio, we see mobile as a durable and important pillar of our enterprise wireless platform.

Speaker #2: Continuing with our fourth quarter execution, we've made strong progress in evolving into a solutions company and advancing our platform strategy. In Q3, we shared that we had delivered a major release of Inseego Connect, our network orchestration SaaS offering, expanding its functionality and usability.

Juho Sarvikas: Continuing with our fourth quarter execution, we've made strong progress in evolving into a solutions company and advancing our platform strategy. In Q3, we shared that we had delivered a major release of Inseego Connect, our network orchestration SaaS offering, expanding its functionality and usability. In Q4, we began to see an impact from that investment. For the first time, Inseego Connect is being taken to market alongside our FWA solutions by all three tier one US carriers, each through their own commercial models and routes to market. This represents an important milestone. The combined offering of the FX4200, FX4100, and Inseego Connect reflects a clear shift from device-led selling to solution-led selling, and establishes Connect as a foundational element of our enterprise wireless edge platform. As we continue to expand, this solution-based approach is an important source of differentiation for Inseego.

Speaker #2: In Q4, we began to see an impact from that investment. For the first time, Inseego Connect is being taken to market alongside our FWA solutions by all three Tier 1 US carriers each through their own commercial models and routes to market.

Speaker #2: As we continue the expand, this solution-based approach is an important source of differentiation for Inseego. We also continue to invest in our subscriber lifecycle management platform, Inseego Subscribe, building out the leadership team and platform capabilities.

Juho Sarvikas: We also continue to invest in our subscriber lifecycle management platform, Inseego Subscribe, building out the leadership team and platform capabilities. Subscribe is a strategic investment area and an important component of our long-term software and solutions growth strategy. Turning to revenue diversity with our Q4 execution, we broadened our revenue base to initial FX4200 orders from both AT&T and Verizon, and delivered a strong quarter in our channel business. Importantly, channel growth was driven by traction across multiple areas rather than a single large transaction, reflecting healthier and more diversified demand. I'd like to take a step back now and review what we delivered over the full year of 2025.

Speaker #2: Importantly, channel growth was driven by traction across multiple areas rather than a single large transaction, reflecting healthier and more diversified demand. I'd like to take a step back now and review what we delivered over the full year of 2025.

Speaker #2: At the start of last year, when I arrived at the company, we set out clear execution-focused objectives. Execute and scale our FWA and MiFi business, strengthen our two-prong go-to-market strategy, and increase our investment in software, and throughout the year, we've not only stayed tightly aligned with these priorities, we've delivered against them.

Juho Sarvikas: At the start of last year, when I arrived at the company, we set out clear execution-focused objectives: execute and scale our FWA and MiFi business, strengthen our two-pronged go-to-market strategy, and increase our investment in software. Throughout the year, we've not only stayed tightly aligned with these priorities, we've delivered against them. We meaningfully expanded our enterprise wireless broadband footprint by doing exactly what we said we would do. I reset the product strategy when I joined a year ago, and those products are now launching. Not only that, but I also focused on diversification of our customer base. So those new products are now launching across the broadest customer base the company has ever had. It took a year, but we got there. Throughout 2025, we continued elevating software and platform integration as core elements of our value proposition.

Speaker #2: It took a year, but we got there. Throughout 2025, we continued elevating software and platform integration as core elements of our value proposition. Inseego Connect increasingly became positioned as the management, intelligence, and control layer of the wireless edge.

Juho Sarvikas: Inseego Connect increasingly became positioned as the management, intelligence, and control layer of the wireless edge. We made progress towards more integrated hardware and software solutions, and took steps towards greater differentiation at the platform level. This laid out the groundwork for deeper software attach and solution-led selling as our portfolio and routes to market continued to expand. To highlight the scale of this growth, we entered 2025 with 3 products offered to 2 carriers, and entering 2026, we are now in the middle of expanding to 6 products across all 3 carriers. In parallel, we've broadened our go-to-market approach in 2025. Along with the expanding and diversifying carrier base, we laid the groundwork for VARs, MSPs, SSPs, and MSOs, and built the product, commercial, and operational capability required to support broader enterprise engagement. All of this execution was delivered with continued financial discipline.

Along with the expanding and diversifying carrier base, we laid the groundwork for WARS, MSPs, SSPs, and MSOs, and built the product, commercial, and operational capability required to support broader enterprise engagement.

Speaker #2: All of this execution was delivered with continued financial discipline. We maintained strong double-digit adjusted EBITDA margins through a transition year, managed costs carefully while funding growth investments, and strengthened our capital structure.

Juho Sarvikas: We maintained strong double-digit Adjusted EBITDA margins through a transition year, managed costs carefully while funding growth investments, and strengthened our capital structure. This demonstrates our ability to invest in growth while maintaining profitability and operating rigor. And finally, 2025 was a year of further strengthening the organization. We significantly upleveled the management team and board of directors, added operating depth across product, technology, sales, operations, and supply chain from the C-level down, and built the infrastructure required to support the next phase of growth. That brings us to 2026. 2025 was a year of building the foundation for long-term growth through disciplined execution of our revised strategy that required significant product investment. In 2026, we're continuing to make product investments in the first half of the year to drive growth.

Speaker #2: This demonstrates our ability to invest in growth while maintaining profitability and operating rigor. And finally, 2025 was a year of further strengthening the organization.

Speaker #2: We significantly upleveled the management team and board of directors, added operating depth across product, technology, sales, operations, and. Chain from C-level down and built the infrastructure required to support the next phase of growth.

Speaker #2: That brings us to 2026. 2025 was a year of building the foundation for long-term growth through disciplined execution of our revised strategy that required significant product investment.

Speaker #2: In 2026, we're continuing to make product investments in the first half of the year to drive growth. This also includes increased spend in go-to-market capabilities to ensure the success of new products and platforms we're bringing to market.

Juho Sarvikas: This also includes increased spend in go-to-market capabilities to ensure the success of new products and platforms we're bringing to market. This is a deliberate need to scale the business. Looking ahead to 2026, the market backdrop continues to strengthen and expand our opportunity. Enterprises are increasingly prioritizing resilience, always-on connectivity, with fixed wireless access emerging as a primary connectivity solution. That shift is reinforced by carrier commitments as all major US carriers continue scaling enterprise FWA programs. Industry forecasts reflect this momentum, with ABI research projecting North America enterprise FWA service revenue to grow at a 37% compound annual rate through 2030, expanding from roughly $2 billion to more than $11 billion. We see similar momentum in federal, state, and local government, where cellular is supporting distributed operations, public safety, and mission-critical connectivity, and where security concerns have made US designs an important consideration.

Enterprises are increasingly prioritizing resilience, always on connectivity, with fixed wireless access emerging as a primary connectivity solution.

Speaker #2: That shift is reinforced by carrier commitments as all major US carriers continue scaling enterprise FWA programs. Industry forecasts reflect this momentum, with API research projecting North America enterprise FWA service revenue to grow at a 37% compound annual rate through 2030.

Speaker #2: Expanding from roughly $2 billion to more than $11 billion. We see similar momentum in federal, state, and local government, where salaries supporting distributed operations and public safety and mission-critical connectivity and where security concerns have made US designs an important consideration.

Speaker #2: At the same time, AI-driven workloads and accelerating mobile data traffic are increasing network complexity and raising the importance of performance, visibility, and centralized management.

Juho Sarvikas: At the same time, AI-driven workloads and accelerating mobile data traffic are increasing network complexity and raising the importance of performance, visibility, and centralized management. As enterprises and governments expand their use of cellular, managing cost, usage, and performance becomes as critical as connectivity. Taken together, these dynamics, including the growing convergence of cellular and satellite, and continued advances in cloud technologies, are elevating the importance of wireless edge and driving demand for integrated platforms that combine connectivity with management and control. This environment aligns directly with Inseego's platform strategy and positions us for our next phase of growth in 2026. Against this backdrop, our core priorities remain consistent. What changes in 2026 is the scale and intensity of execution. Compared to 2025, this is a much more front-loaded year, with a higher concentration of carrier launches and product introductions in the first half, specifically in Q1.

Speaker #2: As enterprises and governments expand their use of cellular, managing costs, usage, and performance becomes as critical as connectivity.

Speaker #2: What changes in 2026 is the scale and intensity of execution. Compared to 2025, this is a much more front-loaded year, with a higher concentration of carrier launches and product introductions in the first half.

Speaker #2: Specifically in Q1, with that in mind, we're entering 2026 focused on five key areas. First, we will continue to scale enterprise wireless broadband across FWA and mobile.

Juho Sarvikas: With that in mind, we're entering 2026 focused on five key areas. First, we will continue to scale enterprise wireless broadband across FWA and mobile. With all three US tier-one carriers now aligned with Inseego, 2026 begins with multiple carrier launches in Q1 and ramps as operations get underway. That requires increased investment early in the year, but the result is a higher carrier-driven revenue run rate, broader channel participation, and continued expansion opportunities as we move into the second half. Second, we will accelerate portfolio expansion. In the first half alone, we expect to introduce four new products. This includes the rollout of three new MiFi products across all major carriers, the introduction of a new entry-tier enterprise FWA offering, and expansion into additional verticals.

Speaker #2: With all three US Tier 1 carriers now aligned with Inseego, 2026 begins with multiple carrier launches in Q1 and ramps as operations get underway.

Speaker #2: That requires increased investment early in the year, but the result is a higher carrier-driven revenue run rate, broader channel participation, and continued expansion opportunities as we move into the second half.

Speaker #2: Second, we will accelerate portfolio expansion. In the first half alone, we expect to introduce four new products. This includes the rollout of three new MiFi products across all major carriers, the introduction of a new entry-tier enterprise FWA offering, and expansion into additional verticals.

Speaker #2: This represents the most comprehensive enterprise wireless portfolio in the company's history, with all products managed through a common software interface rather than standalone hardware.

Juho Sarvikas: This represents the most comprehensive enterprise wireless portfolio in the company's history, with all products managed through a common software interface rather than a standalone hardware... Third, we will deepen the software and platform layer. Inseego Connect continues to evolve as the management and intelligence layer of the wireless edge, and in 2026, we will expand its role as our installed base grows rapidly. This allows us to introduce additional services, increase software attach, and offer more value to customers and partners through a single integrated management experience. Fourth, we will broaden routes to market. The investments we've made in products and platforms are already opening doors with new VARs, MSPs, MVNOs, and service providers. We are encouraged by early momentum, including progress with MSOs, and we expect partner-led activity to increase meaningfully as new products come to market.

Speaker #2: Third, we will deepen the software and platform layer. Inseego Connect continues to evolve as the management and intelligence layer of the wireless edge. And in 2026, we will expand its role as our installed base grows rapidly.

Speaker #2: This allows us to introduce additional services, increase software attached, and offer more value to customers and partners through a single integrated management experience. Fourth, we will broaden routes to market.

Speaker #2: The investments we've made in products and platforms are already opening doors with new WARS, MSPs, MVNOs, and service providers. We are encouraged by early momentum including progress with MSOs and we expect partner-led activity to increase meaningfully as new products come to market.

Speaker #2: More of our growth going forward will be informed by this new expanding partner ecosystem. Fifth, we will advance our subscriber lifecycle management capabilities with Inseego Subscribe.

Juho Sarvikas: More of our growth going forward will be informed by this new expanding partner ecosystem. Fifth, we will advance our subscriber lifecycle management capabilities with Inseego Subscribe. Finally, we will continue to execute with discipline. As we accelerate investment to support carrier ramps, product launches, and go-to-market expansion, we remain focused on balancing growth with profitability and long-term margin expansion. Before I get to Q1, I want to briefly address the current memory market dynamic. Overall, as you've all seen, there's a lot of discussion on price increases and supply shortages as the suppliers have pivoted towards AI and data center. We have done a good job in securing supply, and I do not see any meaningful impact on our deployments. When it comes to pricing, we've acted early, and we have been able to lock in modest price increases for products in the first part of the year.

Speaker #2: Finally, we will continue to execute with discipline. As we accelerate investment to support carrier RAMs, product launches, and go-to-market expansion, we remain focused on balancing growth with profitability and long-term margin expansion.

Speaker #2: Before I get to Q1, I want to briefly address the current memory market dynamic. Overall, as you've all seen, there's a lot of discussion on price increases and supply shortages.

Speaker #2: As the suppliers have pivoted towards AI and data center. We have done a huge job in securing supply, and I do not see any meaningful impact on our deployments.

Speaker #2: When it comes to pricing, we've acted early, and we have been able to lock in modest price increases for products in the first part of the year.

Speaker #2: In addition to this, we're working with our large customers on price increases and cost sharing. Let's now talk about Q1. Overall, I'm bullish on 2026.

Juho Sarvikas: In addition to this, we're working with our large customers on price increases and cost sharing. Let's now talk about Q1. Overall, I'm bullish on 2026. We have more products going to more customers than this company has ever had. Q1 is a transition quarter, and there are several moving parts as we introduce a new mobile product generation and work with new large customers to develop joint go-to-market for FWA. While we still expect Q1 to grow year-over-year, there are three reasons for lower sequential Q1 revenue. First, we have had engineering delays in delivering our new mobile products that have pushed revenue to Q2. Second, one of our large tier one FWA carrier customers has higher than initially expected inventory that they're selling out in Q1.

Speaker #2: We have more products going through more customers than this company has ever had. Q1 is a transition quarter. And there are several moving parts, as we introduce a new mobile product generation and work with new large customers to develop joint go-to-market for FWA.

Speaker #2: While we still expect Q1 to grow year over year, there are three reasons for lower sequential Q1 revenue. First, we have had engineering delays in delivering our new mobile products that have pushed revenue to Q2.

Speaker #2: Second, one of our large Tier 1 FWA carrier customers has hired an initial expected inventory that they're selling out in Q1. And third, that same Tier 1 carrier recently changed their go-to-market strategy to address a broader set of customers, but causing a short-term disruption on selling logistics.

Juho Sarvikas: And third, that same tier one carrier recently changed their go-to-market strategy to address a broader set of customers, but causing a short-term disruption on selling logistics. In summary, 2025 was about implementing the strategy I laid out when I joined a year ago and building the foundation for growth. Now, 2026 is about execution and scale. We're launching more products, ramping more tier one carrier programs, expanding our software platform, and broadening our partner ecosystem across MSOs, VARs, and MSPs. This is positioning us to drive significant growth as the year progresses and scale Inseego at the enterprise wireless edge. We are energized by the trajectory of the business that we see exiting Q1 and confident in delivering the year. With that, I'll turn over to Steven to walk through the financial results and our outlook in more detail.

Speaker #2: We are energized by the trajectory of the business that we see exiting Q1 and confident in delivering the year. With that, I'll turn over to Steven to walk through the financial results and our outlook in more detail.

Speaker #2: Thanks, Yuval. Hi, everyone. Thank you for joining us. I'd like to cover three topics today. First, I'll take you through some details on the Q4 and full year 2025 financial results.

Steven Gatoff: Thank you. Hi, everyone. Thank you for joining us. I'd like to cover three topics today. First, I'll take you through some details on the Q4 and full year 2025 financial results. Second, I'll provide an update on a material improvement in our capital structure that is adding to stockholder value. And third, I'll share some color on the financial profile of the business and provide guidance for Q1, and look at the full year 2026. As we always do, we'll wrap up the call by opening up to your questions. In 2025, we delivered three consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth, culminating in a strong Q4 that exceeded guidance, and paired with strong growth margins and disciplined spending, resulted in solid profitability in the form of Adjusted EBITDA. That was the second highest on an apples-to-apples basis in more than a decade.

Speaker #2: Second, I'll provide an update on a material improvement in our capital structure that is adding to stockholder value. And third, I'll share some color on the financial profile of the business and provide guidance for Q1 and look at the full year 2026.

Speaker #2: As we always do, we'll wrap up the call by opening up to your questions. In 2025, we delivered three consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth, culminating in a strong Q4 that exceeded guidance and, paired with strong gross margins and disciplined spending, resulted in solid profitability in the form of adjusted EBITDA that was the second highest on an apples-to-apples basis in more than a decade.

Speaker #2: On the top line, total revenue for Q4 was $48.4 million, driven by higher mobile volumes, increased channel activity, continued strength in FWA, and the consistent contribution from our Inseego Connect and Inseego Subscribe SaaS offerings.

Steven Gatoff: On the top line, total revenue for Q4 was $48.4 million, driven by higher mobile volumes, increased channel activity, continued strength in FWA, and the consistent contribution from our Inseego Connect and Inseego Subscribe SaaS offerings. As expected, mobile revenue was strong in Q4 2025 and was driven by a more broad carrier adoption and ordering cadence. While FWA revenue declined sequentially from the record Q3 2025, which benefited from new product rollouts at a carrier customer that we discussed last call, FWA revenue in Q4 was up 50% year-over-year and was driven by the diversification of our carrier customer base and solid channel activity. Software services revenue was $12 million in Q4, consistent and again, providing a stable, high-margin contribution to results.

Speaker #2: As expected, mobile revenue was strong in Q4 2025 and was driven by more broad carrier adoption and ordering cadence. While FWA revenue declined sequentially from the record Q3 2025, which benefited from new product rollouts at a carrier-customer that we discussed last call, FWA revenue in Q4 was up 50% year over year, and was driven by the diversification of our carrier-customer base and solid channel activity.

Speaker #2: Software services revenue was $12 million in Q4, consistent and again providing a stable, high-margin contribution to results. For the full year 2025, total revenue was $166.2 million, reflecting sequential quarterly momentum throughout the year.

Steven Gatoff: For the full year 2025, total revenue was $166.2 million, reflecting sequential quarterly momentum throughout the year. Moving through the P&L, non-GAAP gross margin in Q4 2025 was 43%, up 75 basis points sequentially, and driven by sales of some high-margin mobile products and the continued contribution from our high-margin SaaS services.... For the full year 2025, non-GAAP gross margin was also 43%, reflecting an overall strong FWA business and our software services contribution, and also the highest level gross margin has been on an apples-to-apples basis in more than a decade. Non-GAAP operating expenses for Q4 were $17 million, or 35% of revenue, reflecting the targeted investments in sales, marketing, and R&D to support tier one execution and new product launches that we talked about last quarter.

Speaker #2: Moving through the P&L, non-GAAP gross margin in Q4 2025 was 43%, up 75 basis points sequentially and driven by sales of some high-margin mobile products and the continued contribution from our high-margin SaaS services.

Speaker #2: For the full year 2025, non-GAAP gross margin was also 43%, reflecting an overall strong FWA business and our software services contribution, and also the highest-level gross margin has been on an apples-to-apples basis in more than a decade.

Speaker #2: Non-GAAP operating expenses for Q4 were $17 million, or 35% of revenue, reflecting the targeted investments in sales and marketing and R&D to support Tier 1 execution and new product launches that we talked about last quarter.

Speaker #2: As we also talked about, and we'll review in a few minutes, we're continuing to make those investments in Q1 2026 to drive both revenue growth and scale as we move through 2026.

Steven Gatoff: As we also talked about, and we'll review in a few minutes, we're continuing to make those investments in Q1 2026 to drive both revenue growth and scale as we move through 2026. Excuse me. For 2025, Non-GAAP operating expenses were $59.4 million, or 35.7% of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Q4 2025 came in at $6 million, a 12.4% margin, among the highest dollars and margin percentage also in more than a decade. About $1 million plus of benefit was from the timing of R&D spend that pushed out of Q4 into Q1 2026, that I'll get to in a moment. For the full year 2025, adjusted EBITDA came in at $20.1 million, representing a 12.1% margin.

Speaker #2: Excuse me. For 2025, non-GAAP operating expenses were $59.4 million, or 35.7% of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Q4 2025 came in at $6 million, a 12.4% margin, among the highest dollars and margin percentage, also in more than a decade.

Speaker #2: About a million dollars plus of benefit was from the timing of R&D spend that pushed out of Q4 into Q1 2026 that I'll get to in a moment.

Speaker #2: For the full year 2025, adjusted EBITDA came in at $20.1 million, representing a 12.1% important overall proof point in our ability to invest in growth in the short term while maintaining profitability over the long term.

Steven Gatoff: We see this as an important overall proof point in our ability to invest in growth in the short term, while maintaining profitability over the long term. Turning to the balance sheet, we ended Q4 with $24.9 million in cash, a very manageable debt balance of $41 million, or approximately 2x LTM Adjusted EBITDA. The strong cash finish to the year was a function of a combination of favorable outcomes on customer payments, inventory dynamics, and strong working capital management by the team. Overall, the balance sheet strength underpins how we run the business and leads directly to my second topic, our capital structure. Last month, on 14 January 2025, we retired 100% of our outstanding preferred stock.

Speaker #2: Turning to the balance sheet, we ended Q4 with $24.9 million in cash, a very manageable debt balance of $41 million, or approximately two times LTM adjusted EBITDA.

Speaker #2: The strong cash finish to the year was a function of a combination of favorable outcomes on customer payments, inventory dynamics, and strong working capital management by the team.

Speaker #2: Overall, the balance sheet strength underpins how we run the business and leads directly to my second topic, our capital structure. Last month, on January 14th, we retired 100% of our outstanding preferred stock.

Speaker #2: It had a liquidation preference of $42 million as of December 31, 2025, and we exchanged it for $26 million of aggregate consideration, representing a 38% discount that immediately accrued to common stockholders.

Steven Gatoff: It had a liquidation preference of $42 million as of 31 December 2025, and we exchanged it for $26 million of aggregate consideration, representing a 38% discount that immediately accrued to common stockholders. Total consideration consisted of $10 million in cash, $8 million in additional senior secured notes, and approximately 767,000 shares of common stock. The cash is paid in three equal installments. One third, or $3.3 million, was paid at closing. One third will be paid six months following closing, and the remaining one third will be paid 12 months after closing. This transaction represents another purposeful initiative to simplify and strengthen our capital structure. By retiring the preferred at a meaningful discount to its liquidation preference, we reduced long-term obligations, improved balance sheet quality, and immediately enhanced common stockholder value.

The cash is paid in three equal installments: one-third, or $3.3 million, was paid at closing; one-third will be paid six months following closing; and the remaining one-third will be paid 12 months after closing.

Speaker #2: This transaction represents another purposeful initiative to simplify and strengthen our capital structure by retiring the preferred at a meaningful discount to its liquidation preference.

Speaker #2: We reduced long-term obligations, improved balance sheet quality, and immediately enhanced common stockholder value. The preferred stock was held by an affiliate of Mubadala Capital, and so as a result of the exchange, they now hold a position in our common stock.

Steven Gatoff: The preferred stock was held by an affiliate of Rubato Capital, and so as a result of the exchange, they now hold a position in our common stock. We're pleased to have them in the value creation going forward as a long-term common shareholder. With that context on our capital structure, let's now turn to our thoughts on the business and financial guidance for Q1 and the full year 2026. As we discussed on the last call, we started investing meaningfully going into Q4 2025 in new product development and go-to-market capabilities to drive revenue growth in 2026. We're committed to and expect to deliver that revenue growth outcome. We also talked on the last call how 2026 would be front-loaded with spend in the first few months, impacting profitability, to similarly support carrier ramps, multiple product launches, and overall portfolio expansion.

Speaker #2: We're pleased to have them in the value creation going forward as a long-term common shareholder. With that context on our capital structure, let's now turn to our thoughts on the business and financial guidance for Q1 and the full year 2026.

Speaker #2: As we discussed on the last call, we started investing meaningfully going into Q4 2025 in new product development and go-to-market capabilities to drive revenue growth in 2026.

Speaker #2: We're committed to and expect to deliver that revenue growth outcome. We also talked on the last call how 2026 would be front-loaded with spend in the first few months impacting profitability, to similarly support carrier ramps multiple product launches and overall portfolio expansion.

Steven Gatoff: Importantly, with a now expanded carrier customer base, that spend positions us to scale the business, drive operating leverage, and deliver profitability improvement in the second half of the year. To add more color on the revenue profile, as we've seen historically, Q1 has been a baseline quarter for the year from a revenue perspective, where Q1 has been down from Q4 for three of the last four years. We see this dynamic for Q1 in 2026, albeit for three specific factors. First, the second half of 2025 benefited nicely and particularly from a strong ramp of our new FX4100 FWA product with a tier one carrier, and from elevated mobile volumes driven by carrier promotions. Second, we have a tier one FWA customer who went through a sizable company reorg and business realignment, as you all mentioned, that impacted Q1 volumes and timing.

Speaker #2: Importantly, with a now expanded carrier-customer base, that spend positions us to scale the business, drive operating leverage, and deliver profitability improvement in the second half of the year.

Speaker #2: To add more color on the revenue profile, as we've seen historically, Q1 has been a baseline quarter for the year from a revenue perspective.

Speaker #2: Where Q1 has been down from Q4 for three of the last four years. We see this dynamic for Q1 in 2026, albeit for three specific factors.

Speaker #2: First, the second half of 2025 benefited nicely, and particularly from a strong ramp of our new FX4100 FWA product with a Tier 1 carrier, and from elevated mobile volumes driven by carrier promotions.

Speaker #2: Second, we have a Tier 1 FWA customer who went through a sizable company reorg and business realignment, as you all mentioned, that impacted Q1 volumes and timing.

Steven Gatoff: And third, our new MiFi portfolio is set to launch late in Q1 2026, delayed from our initial target date, but that's setting up to drive a meaningful contribution beginning in Q2. And so while Q1 2026 revenue is lighter than desired on new product rollouts and transitions, we remain very positive on the outlook for both mobile and FWA in 2026, as we execute with our tier one carriers and continue expanding our routes to market through SSPs and VARs. Looking at non-GAAP gross margin, we expect Q1 to reflect a lower mobile revenue margin, partially offset by a return to solid gross margin contribution on FWA and consistent software services. Total non-GAAP operating expense dollars are expected to increase modestly sequentially in Q1 2026 on the P&L, and more so in total dollar spend in Q1 due to two drivers.

Speaker #2: And third, our new MiFi portfolio is set to launch late in Q1 2026, delayed from our initial target date, but that's setting up to drive a meaningful contribution beginning in Q2.

Speaker #2: Looking at non-GAAP gross margin, we expect Q1 to reflect a lower mobile revenue margin, partially offset by a return to solid gross margin contribution on FWA and consistent software services.

Speaker #2: Total non-GAAP operating expense dollars are expected to increase modestly, sequentially, in Q1 2026 on the P&L, and more so in total dollar spend in Q1 due to two drivers.

Speaker #2: First, as I mentioned, R&D spend originally planned for Q4 2025 shifted out to Q1 2026 on adjustments in product delivery timing. That shift out in spend resulted in more than $1 million of higher adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2025, and its corresponding higher spend level, therefore, is now in Q1 2026.

Steven Gatoff: First, as I mentioned, R&D spend originally planned for Q4 2025 shifted out to Q1 2026 on adjustments in product delivery timing. That shift out in spend resulted in more than $1 million of higher Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2025, and a corresponding higher spend level therefore now in Q1 2026. This funding of new product build-outs will also be seen in higher levels of capitalized R&D in the quarter, as we've discussed. The second dynamic driving higher current spend in Q1 is the investments in sales and marketing that we've been talking about as part of the 2026 growth driver investment. Pulling this all together, we're providing the following guidance for Q1 2026: total revenue in a range of $33 million to $36 million, and Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $1 million to $2 million.

Speaker #2: This funding of new product buildouts will also be seen in higher levels of capitalized R&D in the quarter as we've discussed. The second dynamic driving higher current spend in Q1 is the investments in sales and marketing that we've been talking about as part of the 2026 growth driver investment.

Speaker #2: Pulling this all together, we're providing the following guidance for Q1 2026: total revenue in a range of $33 million to $36 million, and adjusted EBITDA in a range of $1 million to $2 million.

Speaker #2: Overall, looking back at 2025, we see a similar dynamic for 2026 of growth and profitability coming off of Q1. Growing in Q2, growing in Q3, and growing in Q4.

Steven Gatoff: Overall, looking back at 2025, we see a similar dynamic for 2026 of growth and profitability coming off of Q1, growing in Q2, growing in Q3, and growing in Q4, with the important difference that there's now a foundation of a more diversified customer base and product portfolio, along with a right-sized balance sheet that provides important flexibility. And so on that strong foundation, we're also providing guidance for the full year 2026 for total revenue of approximately $190 million. With that, we appreciate your time and support and are glad to open the call for questions. Operator?

Speaker #2: With the important difference that there's now a foundation of a more diversified customer base and product portfolio, along with a right-sized balance sheet that provides important flexibility.

Speaker #2: And so on that strong foundation, we're also providing guidance for the full year 2026 for total revenue of approximately $190 million. With that, we appreciate your time and support and are glad to open the call for questions.

Speaker #2: Operator?

Speaker #1: Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. To ask a question, you may press star, then 1 on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys.

Operator: Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. To ask a question, you may press star, then one on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, please press star, then two. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. The first question will come from Scott Searle with Roth Capital. Please go ahead.

Speaker #1: To withdraw your question, please press star, then 2. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. And the first question will come from Scott Zero with Roth Capital.

Speaker #1: Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. Nice job on the fourth quarter and really nice to see the diversified customer base and product portfolio building over the course of '26.

Scott Searle: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. Nice job on the Q4, and really nice to see the diversified customer base and product portfolio building over the course of 2026. Maybe just to start, Steven, I wanted to dive in quickly on the memory front. I know you had some comments in terms of your opening monologue, but it sounds like you guys are managing that pretty well. I'm wondering if you could detail that a little bit more in the first half of this year. It sounds like it's gonna be a shared burden with your MNO customers going forward. And then as it relates to the 2026 guidance, certainly implies things ramping up over the course of the year, as you articulated.

Speaker #2: Maybe just to start, Steven, I wanted to dive in quickly on the memory front. I know you had some comments in terms of your opening monologue.

Speaker #2: But it sounds like you guys are managing that pretty well. I'm wondering if you could detail that a little bit more in the first half of this year.

Speaker #2: It sounds like it's going to be a shared burden. With your M&O customers going forward, and then as it relates to the 2026 guidance, certainly implies things ramping up over the course of the year as you articulated.

Scott Searle: You know, it averages out to, like, $50 million a quarter, so that's a pretty big step up. I'm wondering, given the expected timelines and product introductions, what the comfort level and visibility that you have to that, and there's a lot of moving parts from an OpEx standpoint, and gross margin standpoint, Steve. I'm wondering if you could give us a little bit of guidance about how we should be thinking about adjusted gross margins, excuse me, Adjusted EBITDA margins in the second half of the year.

Speaker #2: It averages out to like $50 million a quarter. So that's a pretty big step up. I'm wondering given the expected timelines and product introductions, what the comfort level and visibility that you have to that, and a lot of moving parts from an OPEX standpoint and gross margin standpoint, Steve, I'm wondering if you could give us a little bit of guidance about how we should be thinking about adjusted gross margins—excuse me, adjusted EBITDA margins in the second half of the year.

Speaker #3: Yeah, sure. In a sentence or less, I will tag team you and I on a good chunk of this—certainly on the memory part that Juho was talking about.

Steven Gatoff: Yeah, sure. In a sentence or less, and we'll tag team Juho and I on a good chunk of this, certainly on the memory part that Juho was talking about. In the short answer on the first part, Scott, is that on memory, we're pretty well locked in for Q1, certainly, and really most of the first half of the year, and we'll get to that unless you want to hit it now.

Speaker #3: And the short answer on the first part, Scott, is that on memory, we're pretty well locked in for Q1 certainly and really most of the first half of the year, and we'll get to that once you want to hit it now.

Juho Sarvikas: Well, look, maybe the big thing, Scott, on the memory, and thanks for the great question, really, is that we have so much new exciting products and customers ramping in the first half. And I wanted to make sure that we have sufficient buffer to also capture upside, channel fill, all of that good stuff. So from a memory standpoint of view, as we were doing that, we realized somewhere around six months ago that the memory market is going to get tight, so we took the appropriate action. So I feel good about the first half inventory situation as well as the pricing environment.

Speaker #4: So maybe that big thing, Scott, on the memory aspect—with the great question—really is that we have so many new, exciting products and customers ramping in the first half.

Speaker #4: And I wanted to make sure that we have sufficient buffer to also capture upside, channel fill, all of that good stuff. So from a memory standpoint of view, as we were doing that, we realized somewhere around six months ago that the memory market is going to get tight.

Speaker #4: So we took the appropriate actions. So I feel good about the first half inventory situation as well as the pricing environment.

Speaker #3: Awesome. And then good question, Scott. Go ahead, if you have them. On the dynamic guidance, but the crux of what you're saying in our review is that, yes, things ramp quite quickly so that the Q2—we gave guidance, obviously, for the year, but the math, if you just sit with there, pretty back to the envelope, you would see that Q2 ramps to the high fours.

Steven Gatoff: Awesome. And then good question, Scott, quite a few of them on the dynamic, you know, guidance, but the crux of what you're saying in our view is that, yes, you know, things ramp quite quickly so that, you know, the Q2, we gave guidance obviously for the year, but the math, if you just sit with there, pretty back of the envelope, you would see that Q2 ramps to, you know, the high fours, and then you would expect Q3 and Q4 to have a five handle on it. Like, yeah, that, like, that's how, that's the math that gets you to $190, and so we get that. And so you, you know, in our view, you're thinking about it right.

Speaker #3: And then you would expect Q3 and Q4 to have a five-handle lot. Like, yeah, that's the math that gets you to 190. And so we get that.

Speaker #3: And so in our review, you're thinking about it right. And a similar dynamic, which is consistent with what we've talked about probably for the last quarter and a half, which is EBITDA is the lightest in Q1 and then starts to grow and scale as we go into Q2, and then certainly in Q3 and Q4, where we've said that average for the year doesn't really exist in nature, right?

Steven Gatoff: And a similar dynamic, which is consistent with what we've talked about probably for the last quarter and a half, which is, you know, EBITDA is, you know, the lightest in Q1 and then starts to grow and scale as we go into Q2, and then certainly in Q3 and Q4, where we're, you know, where we said the average for the year doesn't really exist in nature, right? The first half of the year is at a lower rate, and then the second half of the year is at a much higher rate, and we're exiting the year at a nice dollar amount of EBITDA and margin percentage. Let me pause there. Does that hit up what you were asking about?

Speaker #3: The first half of the year is at a lower rate, and then the second half of the year is at a much higher rate and we're exiting the year at a nice dollar amount of EBITDA.

Speaker #3: And margin percentage. Let me pause there. Does that hit up what you were asking about?

Scott Searle: That, that's perfect. And, and if I could just quickly tack on, Juho, there's been a lot of dynamic changes within the industry, I think, from a competitive standpoint. I'm wondering if you could give us some thoughts in terms of you know, how you see your share shifting over the course of 2026. A lot of moving currents, I think, competitively in the mobile hotspot market. But then also, if you can provide a little bit of color in terms of some of the new product portfolio. Is that mostly going to be MiFi, or there's some other products that we should be expecting to see in new categories, potentially taking us into international markets in the second half of the year? Thanks.

Speaker #2: That's perfect. And if I could just quickly tack on, Yuho, there's been a lot of dynamic changes within the industry, I think, from a competitive standpoint.

Speaker #2: I'm wondering if you could give us some thoughts in terms of how you see your share shifting over the course of 2026. There are a lot of moving currents, I think, competitively in the mobile hotspot market.

Speaker #2: But then also, if you could provide a little bit of color in terms of some of the new product portfolio, other products that we should be expecting to see?

Speaker #2: And new categories, potentially taking us into international markets in the second half of the year. Thanks.

Speaker #4: Got it. Excellent. Excellent questions. I'll start with the mobile part. What I'm super excited about is that we'll have now all three large carriers launching our new mobile generation.

Juho Sarvikas: Got it. Excellent. Excellent question. So I'll start with the mobile part. What I'm super excited is that we'll have now all three large carriers launching our new mobile generation. And like we discussed in the prepared remarks, we were hoping to see that earlier in Q1, but it will now take place towards the latter part of Q1. But the thing with mobile is that it's predictable run rate business. Think of it like a light switch. Once you launch the product, you get the set-- you get the share in the category. All three of them are also positioned in a higher volume segment than where you've seen us historically. So I feel really good about the MiFi volume, and I think I've been fairly open about it.

Speaker #4: And like we discussed in the prepared remarks, we were hoping to see that earlier in Q1, but it will now take place towards the latter part of Q1.

Speaker #4: But the thing with mobile is that it's predictable run rate business. Think of it like a light switch. Once you launch the product, you get the share in the category.

Speaker #4: All three of them are also positioned in a higher volume segment than where you've seen us historically. So I feel really good about the MyFi volume, and I think I've been fairly open about it.

Speaker #4: Look, I think in mobile or in hotspots, our job really is to go and consolidate the market. And these three across all three is a huge, huge milestone.

Juho Sarvikas: Look, I think in mobile or in hotspots, our job really is to go and consolidate the market, and these three across all three is a huge, huge milestone. I also see opportunity towards the latter part of the year or going forward in expanding, expanding a hotspot. There's also a value segment, and I also believe there's a great opportunity in the premium segment. So mobile, we innovate the category we're huge fans of, and we look forward to continuing investing and growing, growing in that. I believe your second question was then on the portfolio. So I already described the mobile part of the story. Like you know, in FWA, today, we have, if you think good, better, best, we have the better with the FX4100 that we launched about 9, 10 months ago.

Speaker #4: I also see opportunity towards the latter part of the year or going forward in expanding a hotspot. There's also a value segment, and I also believe there's a great opportunity in the premium segment.

Speaker #4: So mobile, we invent the category where huge fans of and we look forward to continuing investing and growing in that. I believe your second question was then on the portfolio.

Speaker #4: So, I already described the mobile part of the story. Like you know, in FWA today, we have, if you think good, better, best. We have the better, with the FX40 100, that we launched about nine, ten months ago.

Speaker #4: We recently introduced 4200, which is the best. And now what we're going to roll out during the first half is an entry-level, yet enterprise-grade, same manageability, everything you know us for, but a lower-tier router.

Juho Sarvikas: We recently introduced FX4200, which is the best, and now what we're going to roll out during the first half is an entry-level, yet enterprise-grade, same manageability, everything you know us for, but a lower-tier router. So we'll complete this good, better, best for SMB enterprise, call it carpeted environments. And then, of course, there's a lot of other attractive verticals. So that would be my summary on the immediate portfolio expansion.

Speaker #4: So we'll complete this good, better, best for SMB, enterprise, call it carpeted environments, and then, of course, there's a lot of other attractive verticals.

Speaker #4: So that would be my summary on the immediate portfolio expansion.

Scott Searle: Very good. I'll get back in the queue. Thanks so much.

Speaker #2: Very good. I'll get back in the queue. Thanks so much.

Speaker #4: Thanks so much, Scott.

Juho Sarvikas: Thanks so much, Jonathan.

Steven Gatoff: Thanks, Doug.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Scott.

Operator: The next question will come from Tyler Burmeister with Lake Street. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: The next question will come from Tyler Bermeister with Lake Street. Please go ahead.

Tyler Burmeister: Hi, guys. Thanks for letting me ask a question here. So as we think about the 2026 guide across your mobile and your, your FWA businesses, you know, the FWA side of the business continues to gain momentum, and you kinda highlight the mobile side of the business as being stable. Just wondering with the, you know, new customer ramp in this year and mobile coming off a softer 2025 and different dynamics, do we still expect the fixed wireless access side to be a relatively larger contribution of growth this year?

Speaker #5: Hey, guys. Thanks for letting me ask the question here. So as we think about the 2026 guide across from mobile and your FWA businesses, the FWA side of business continues to gain momentum, and you kind of highlighted the mobile side of business as being stable.

Speaker #5: I'm just wondering about the new customer ramp-in this year, and with mobile coming off a softer '25 and different dynamics. Should we still expect the fixed wireless access side to be a relatively larger contribution to growth this year?

Steven Gatoff: Awesome. Thanks, Tyler. We'll tag team it as usual. So we expect mobile and FWA both to grow on a revenue basis in 2026, albeit different reasons, right? Fixed pie, if you will, on mobile, growing pie on FWA. So you all share all the thoughts on that.

Speaker #3: Awesome. Thanks, Tyler. We'll tag team it as usual. So we expect mobile and FWA both to grow on a revenue basis in 2026 for albeit different reasons, right?

Speaker #3: Fixed pie, if you will, on mobile—growing pie on FWA. So you all share all the thoughts on that, and on both the revenue and customer base.

Scott Searle: And on both the revenue and customer base. So sure, just to make sure, you said flat, but it's a growth driver, both of them.

Steven Gatoff: And on both the revenue and customer base. So sure, just to make sure, you said flat, but it's a growth driver, both of them.

Speaker #3: So just to make sure, you said flat, but it's a growth driver—both of them.

Speaker #4: Yeah. The one thing I would add here, or highlight, is that, like I mentioned when I was answering Scott's earlier question, there's plenty of room to grow in mobile.

Juho Sarvikas: Yeah, the one thing I would add here or highlight is that, like I mentioned, when I was answering Scott's earlier question, there's plenty of room to grow in mobile, and we're going to go as fast as we can, and that only will do extremely well. At the same time, FWA, on the back of the portfolio expansion, the customer expansion, is going to be also a great story in 2026. So if you look at 2026, we'll see which one of these two categories ends up running faster. But if you take the long-term view, the FWA TAM forms mobile. Also, now with these product introductions, our share in mobile will significantly grow. So if you take a longer-term view, it will be in favor, the mix will be in favor of FWA.

Speaker #4: And we're going to go as fast as we can, and that alone will do extremely well. At the same time, FWA, on the back of the portfolio expansion and the customer expansion, is going to be also a great story in 2026.

Speaker #4: So if you look at 2026, we'll see which one of these two categories ends up running faster. But if you take the long-term view, the FWA TAM for mobile, also now with these product introductions, our share in mobile will significantly grow.

Speaker #4: So if you take a longer-term view, it will be in favor the mix will be in favor of FWA.

Speaker #3: That's great. And then we talked maybe a little bit less about the MSO and the distribution channel opportunities on this call. So I was just wondering, as we look out this year, could we possibly hear some announcements or start seeing maybe some more meaningful contributions from those customer groups this year?

Tyler Burmeister: That's great. And then, you know, we talked maybe a little bit less about the MSO and the distribution channel opportunities on this call. So I was just wondering, you know, as we look out this year, you know, could we possibly hear some announcements or start seeing maybe some more meaningful contributions from those customer groups this year? Is that maybe a little bit farther out opportunity for you guys?

Speaker #3: Or is that maybe a little bit farther out opportunity for you guys?

Speaker #4: Thanks. Thanks, Tyler. I think that's a fantastic question. So I'm sure you're asking because I've been mentioning it in my remarks, and I've been talking about it a little bit already.

Juho Sarvikas: Thanks. Thanks, Tyler. I think that's a fantastic question. So, I'm sure you're asking because I've been mentioning it in my remarks, and I have been talking about it a little bit already. Look, to me, the MSOs, whether it's coax cable or fiber, many of these guys actually have similar assets as well, right? They're kind of like a carrier, so, like, I would even put them in the same bucket as the large, large, three large carriers. And there's brilliant FWA use cases with the MSOs, starting with failover, day one, all of that. And we've done, we've done massive investment in both products, where the FX4200 is actually the ideal, I call it, router platform for that use case, but also in our cloud, with deep understanding of those use cases. So, MSO is definitely something where-...

Speaker #4: Look, to me, the MSOs, whether it's cable or fiber, many of these guys actually have cellular assets as well, right? They're kind of like a carrier.

Speaker #4: So I would even put them in the same bucket as the large three large carriers. And there's brilliant FWA use cases with the MSOs.

Speaker #4: Starting with failover, day one, all of that. And we've done massive investment, both product—where the FX40 200 is actually the ideal, I call it, router platform for that use case—but also in our cloud.

Speaker #4: With deep understanding of those use cases. So, MSO is definitely something where I expect that we'll have great discussions as the year progresses. The bar and the managed service provider—let's call this the channel—this is a different type of an animal.

Juho Sarvikas: Great discussions as the year progresses. The VAR and the managed service provider, let's call this the channel. This is a different type of an animal. Now you have fairly fragmented set of partners. By the way, I didn't mention or I should mention that the three large value-added resellers, CDW, Insight, and I can't believe I'm flagging on the third one now, are all going to launch. We've already introduced programs. They're all stocking the FX4200 as of late last year. That is going to be a steady ramp. It's a little bit like the FWA. So these large guys, whether they are the carriers or the MSOs, they will drive big, immediate volume uplift. The VARs and the MSPs, in the long term, become significant growth driver for us, but will be a slower burn.

Speaker #4: Now, you have a fairly fragmented set of partners. By the way, I did mention or I should mention that the three large value-added resellers—CDW, Insight, and I can't believe I'm blanking on the third one now—are all going to launch. We've already introduced programs.

Speaker #4: They're all stocking the FX40 200 as a flight last year. That is going to be a steady ramp. It's a little bit like the FWA.

Speaker #4: So these large guys, whether they are the carriers or the MSOs, they will drive big immediate volume uplift. The bars and the MSPs in the long term become significant growth driver for us, but will be a slower burn.

Speaker #4: The third large value-added reseller, of course, is SHI. Did I answer your question?

Juho Sarvikas: The third large value-added reseller, of course, is SHI. Did I answer your question?

Speaker #3: Yeah, that's great. I appreciate the talk. That's all for me. Thanks, guys. Thanks, man.

Steven Gatoff: Yeah, that's great. I, I appreciate the call. That's all for me. Thanks, guys.

Tyler Burmeister: Yeah, that's great. I, I appreciate the call. That's all for me. Thanks, guys.

Juho Sarvikas: Thank you.

Steven Gatoff: Thanks, man.

Operator: The next question will come from Christian Schwab with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: The next question will come from Christian Schwab with Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please go ahead.

Christian Schwab: A good quarter, and congrats on all the deals. As we look on the software business, you know, you have one customer who's a material percentage of that software and services revenue. Is there an opportunity with the other two customers to deploy a similar program as your historical leading customer?

Speaker #3: Good quarter, and congrats on all the deals. As we look at the software business, you have one customer who's a material percentage of that software and services revenue.

Speaker #3: Is there an opportunity with the other two customers to deploy a similar program as your historical leading customer?

Juho Sarvikas: Hey, Christian, thanks for joining us. I'll actually answer both aspects of the software business. Let me start with the Inseego Connect, which is our device management platform, orchestration platform. One of the really important things that we've implemented now, especially with the 4200, but much broader, is that since we've made that investment over 2025 in creating a world-class device management platform with great differentiation capability, our go-to-market motion has really changed on the routers. It really is a solution-first sale, attach rate, but also the value capture is growing. The install base, of course, takes time to grow. But again, here, if you take a multi-year view, Inseego Connect is a really important part of our story. It also provides other service opportunities for us where we can expand, as you might imagine.

Speaker #4: Hey, Christian, thanks for joining us. Actually, I'll answer both aspects of the software business. Let me start with Insigo Connect, which is our device management and orchestration platform.

Speaker #4: It really is a solution-first sale, attach rate, but also the value capture is growing. The install base, of course, takes time to grow. But again, here, if you take a multi-year view, Inseego Connect is a really important part of our story.

Speaker #4: It also provides other service opportunities for us where we can expand, as you might imagine. If you look at the subscriber lifecycle management platform—yes, for sure.

Juho Sarvikas: If you look at the subscriber lifecycle management platform, yes, for sure. We've done significant investment here as well, and we're looking at from a business development act standpoint of view, expansion opportunities. It really does have a unique feature set, especially if you go into the Fed and government space, where you have a lot of compliance, you have a lot of complexity in terms of how you manage those customers, and there are significant benefits for our carriers, broadly speaking, to leverage that platform.

Speaker #4: We've done significant investment here as well. And we're looking at from a business development standpoint of view, expansion opportunities. It really does have a unique feature set, especially if you go into the Fed and government space where you have a lot of compliance, a lot of complexity.

Speaker #4: In terms of how you manage those customers, and there are significant benefits for carriers. Broadly speaking, to leverage that platform.

Christian Schwab: Great. I guess my second question, you know, with the broadening base out of all three carriers, there seems to be a greater industry focus on enterprise-class fixed wireless access versus just residential. From a bigger picture standpoint, do you believe any of this has to do with Industry 4.0 initiatives or greater acceleration, finally, of private 5G networks by the carriers and their thoughts?

Speaker #3: Great. I guess my second question—with the broadening base out of all three carriers, there seems to be a greater industry focus on enterprise-class fixed wireless access versus just residential.

Speaker #3: From a bigger picture standpoint, do you believe any of this has to do with industry 4.0 initiatives or greater acceleration finally of private 5G networks?

Speaker #3: By the carriers and their thoughts?

Juho Sarvikas: So there was an immediate gold rush in FWA when 5G emerged to consumer. The problem with consumer is the ARPU and the consumption profile. Very, very data demanding, massive consumption profile, and you're competing against cable and other value props for, for the consumer. Enterprise, on the other hand, has a very rich ARPU profile, and if you think about it, the usage profile is completely the opposite of the consumer, because you'll be working through the day, you maybe should not be streaming Netflix at the office. So just like from the basic dynamic standpoint of view, very favorable from a carrier, P&L standpoint of view. There has been a significant constraint on the industry, and it really has been spectrum. So C-Band, when the auction happened, launched a massive wave of FWA expansion.

Speaker #4: So there was an immediate gold rush in FWA when 5G emerged to consumer. The problem with consumer is the ARPU and the consumption profile.

Speaker #4: Very, very data-demanding, massive consumption profile, and you're competing against cable and other value props for the consumer. Enterprise, on the other hand, has a very rich ARPU profile, and if you think about it, the usage profile is completely opposite of the consumer because you'll be working during the day.

Speaker #4: You maybe should not be streaming Netflix at the office. So just like from the basic dynamic standpoint of view, very favorable from a carrier P&L standpoint of view.

Speaker #4: There has been a significant constraint on the industry, and it really has been spectrum. So CPAN, when the auction happened, launched a massive wave of FWA expansion.

Speaker #4: There was a recent acquisition that one of the carriers made that you're very much familiar with. And all of a sudden, FWA and especially the business or enterprise segment became top of mind because now you had the capacity to go there, and it has the highest ARPU.

Juho Sarvikas: There was a recent acquisition that one of the carriers made that you're very much familiar with, and all of a sudden, FWA, and especially the business or enterprise segment, became top of mind because now you have the capacity to go there, and it has the highest ARPU. So one of the really foundational things that we believe in is that cellular will take over the world in two ways. One, 5G performance is now broadband-like, as opposed to 4G. 6G is yet again another 10 times faster. So you could make the case where now cellular should become the primary, and there even shouldn't be a discussion around it.

Speaker #4: So one of the really foundational things that we believe in is that seller will take over the world in two ways. One, 5G performance is now broadband-like as opposed to 4G.

Speaker #4: 6G is yet again another 10 times faster. So you could make the case where now seller should become the primary and there even shouldn't be a discussion around it.

Juho Sarvikas: It will also release massive amounts of spectrum, massive amounts of capacity, where you can utilize the higher on-auction spectrum assets that are still out there, yet to be deployed. And then look from an enterprise, end customer standpoint of view. Super easy to deploy, single management interface. You don't need to worry which of your location gets fiber or cable, or how do you patch all of that together. So I think there's a lot of benefits that will continue to accelerate enterprise FWA, and that was one of the data points I was sharing is 30, high 30s CAGR on service provider revenue increase in the enterprise FWA.

Speaker #4: It will also release massive amounts of spectrum, massive amounts of capacity, when you can utilize higher on-auction spectrum assets that are still out there yet to be deployed.

Speaker #4: And then look from an enterprise end customer standpoint of view, super easy to deploy, single management interface. You don't need to worry which of your location gets fiber or cable or how do you patch all of that together.

Speaker #4: So I think there's a lot of benefits that will continue to accelerate enterprise FWA, and that was one of the data points I was sharing is this high 30s CAGR on service provider revenue increase.

Speaker #4: In the enterprise FWA.

Speaker #3: Great. No other questions. Thank you. Thanks, Christian.

Christian Schwab: Great. No other questions. Thank you.

Juho Sarvikas: Thanks so much.

Steven Gatoff: Thanks, Christian.

Operator: The next question will come from Lance Vitanza with TD Cowen. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: The next question will come from Lance Vitanza with Cowan. Please go ahead.

Lance Vitanza: Hi. Thanks, guys. Appreciate you taking the questions here. I've got a couple, if I could. The first is, it's good to have Verizon back in the fold. That said, I do wonder what this means, if anything, for the variability of results going forward. I'm just wondering, beyond the initial rollout, just looking ahead here, do you expect this to-- I mean, will there-- will your visibility be better or worse off for having Verizon back in the mix relative to, you know, working with AT&T and T-Mobile?

Speaker #5: Hi. Thanks, guys. Appreciate you taking the questions here. I got a couple, if I could. The first is, it's good to have Verizon back in the fold.

Speaker #5: That said, I do wonder what this means if anything for the variability of results going forward. I'm just wondering beyond the initial rollout, just looking ahead here.

Speaker #5: Do you expect this to—I mean, will your visibility be better or worse off for having Verizon back in the mix, relative to working with AT&T and T-Mobile?

Juho Sarvikas: That's an FWA question, I take it, Lance.

Speaker #4: That's an FWA question. I’ll take it, Lance.

Juho Sarvikas: That's an FWA question, I take it, Lance.

Lance Vitanza: Yes.

Speaker #5: Yes.

Speaker #4: Yeah. So the way to look at it is that I'm going to go back to my previous answer. There's a strong economic incentive all three players have made the statement that they're investing in FWA for enterprise.

Juho Sarvikas: So the way to look at it is that, kind of going back to my previous answer, there's a strong economic incentive. All three players have made the statement that they're investing in FWA for enterprise. Well, where we got with our existing large customer, it took a couple of broad generation, and it took some time to develop the co-selling motion and to be able to drive that kind of volume uplift. So at this early stage, I can't really tell you, like, how fast each of these opportunities will grow, but I think we have very reasonable expectations, reasonable expectations that inform the guide for 2026 that Steven was sharing.

Speaker #4: Look, where we got with our existing large customer, it took a couple of product generations, and it took some time to develop the co-selling motion and to be able to drive that kind of volume uplift.

Speaker #4: So at this early stage, I can't really tell you how fast each of these opportunities will grow. But I think we have very reasonable expectations reasonable expectations that inform the guide for 2026 that Stephen was sharing.

Speaker #5: Okay. Great. And then so just to sort of go back to the Scott's question about the full year EBITDA outlook. If I'm doing the math right, I think you put up about a 12.1% EBITDA margin for 2025.

Lance Vitanza: Okay, great. And then, and so just to sort of go back to Scott's question about the full year EBITDA outlook. If I'm doing the math right, I think you put up about a 12.1% EBITDA margin for 2025. Should we be thinking about 2026 as kind of being, you know, in around the same zip code, or could there be upside or, you know, potential downside maybe for investment spend and so forth? How should we think about that relative to margin profile year-over-year, from an EBITDA way?

Speaker #5: Should we be thinking about 2026 as kind of being in and around the same zip code, or could there be upside or potential downside, maybe for investment spends and so forth?

Speaker #5: How should we think about that relative to margin profile year over year, on the EBITDA line?

Steven Gatoff: Yeah, good, good question. Similar outcome, Lance, and so far as the answer for the year doesn't really exist in nature, because we would expect to exit 2026 at, at those levels you're saying, at the higher levels, kind of where we are now-ish. But the first part of the year is gonna be a bit lower. So the average for the year is, you know, somewhere in between. That's, that's not really existing. So if it's, you know, you, you can see the math for Q1, right?

Speaker #3: Yeah, good question. Similar outcome. Lance, insofar as the answer for the year doesn't really exist in nature, because we would expect to exit 2026 at those levels you're saying, at the higher levels—kind of where we are now-ish.

Speaker #3: But the first part of the year, it's going to be a bit lower. So the average for the year is somewhere in between that's not really existing.

Speaker #3: So if it's—you can see the math for Q1, right? So if the first half of the year is single digits, and the second half of the year is getting into a decent double digit, you'll do the math on the average.

Steven Gatoff: So if the first half of the year is single digit, and the second half of the year is getting into a decent double digit, you know, you'll do the math on the average, but the short answer is the rates that we're at. We would expect to be seen in the second half and exiting the year for sure.

Speaker #3: But the short answer is, at the rates that we're at, we would expect to be seeing that in the second half and exiting the year for sure.

Lance Vitanza: Perfect. Understood. And maybe just one last one, for me, and just sort of thinking, you know, a little bit longer term. Is double-digit revenue growth, you know, sort of sustainable over the next few years, do we think, or should we be sort of thinking, and I'm not expecting, you know, guidance here, I'm not expecting the 2027 will necessarily look as robust as 2026, but will those, you know, years, will we continue to see robust growth, do you imagine, or does 2026 sort of bring us back to kind of more of a new plateau level, would you expect?

Speaker #5: Perfect. Understood. And maybe just one last one—for me, and just sort of thinking a little bit longer term—is double-digit revenue growth sort of sustainable over the next few years?

Speaker #5: Do we think, or should we be sort of thinking I'm not expecting guidance here. I'm not expecting the 27 will necessarily look as robust as 2026, but will those years will we continue to see robust growth, do you imagine, or does 2026 sort of bring us back to kind of more of a new plateau level, would you expect?

Steven Gatoff: Of total revenue growth, you're saying, "Hey, can you grow total revenue to double digits?

Speaker #4: Of total revenue growth, you're saying, "Hey, can you grow total revenue to double digits in the next several years?"

Lance Vitanza: Correct. Yes.

Speaker #5: Correct. Yes.

Speaker #4: Yeah, we can. I think we said that at the end of last year as we were setting up for this year, and candidly, the growth profile for 2026 is a nice double-digit with a pretty low Week Lane, we might say internally, Q1.

Steven Gatoff: Yeah, we can. We can. That's, I think we said that, you know, at the end of last year as we were setting up for this year. And candidly, the growth profile for 2026 is a nice double-digit with a pretty, you know, pretty low, weak, lame, we might say internally, Q1. And so if we're pulling that off in a year where we're ramping a whole bunch of new products and transitioning, right? We're going from a company that was one product, one customer, to many products, all three carriers, and we're doing that all this quarter. So, like, that's a big deal, and once that gets up and running, like, that's a really nice model. And so a little probably long-winded, but the short answer is yes, we do believe that's a double-digit growth for the next several years.

Speaker #4: And so if we're pulling that off in a year where we're ramping a whole bunch of new products and transitioning, right, we're going from a company that was one product, one customer to many products all three carriers, and we're doing that all this quarter.

Speaker #4: So that’s a big deal. And once that gets up and running, that's a really nice model. So, a little probably long-winded, but the short answer is yes, we do believe that’s double-digit growth for the next several years.

Lance Vitanza: No, that actually isn't too long. That's perfect. I really appreciate the color. Thank you. Thank you all, gentlemen.

Speaker #5: No, that actually isn't too that's perfect. I really appreciate the color. Thank you all, gentlemen.

Juho Sarvikas: Appreciate it, Lance. Thank you.

Speaker #4: Appreciate it, Lance. Thank you.

Steven Gatoff: Right on. Thanks, Lance.
