ハーモニック（HLIT）2026年度第2四半期決算説明会：売上高54%増、ガイダンスを上方修正

主なポイント

• Harmonicの2026年第2四半期（Q2）におけるブロードバンド部門の売上高は前年同期比54%増の1億3,350万ドルとなり、会社予想の1億1,500万ドル〜1億2,500万ドルを上回りました。
• 「その他市場（Rest-of-market）」セグメントの売上高は44%増の約5,000万ドルとなりました。この顧客グループは当四半期の受注額（ブッキング）の約60%を占め、ブック・ツー・ビル比率は1.5を大幅に上回りました。
• 総受注額は1億4,400万ドルに達しました。受注残高および繰延収益は前年同期比71%増の5億8,760万ドルと過去最高を記録し、その73%が12か月以内に売上高に寄与する見込みです。
• 経営陣は2026年通期のブロードバンド売上高ガイダンスを、従来の4億7,500万ドル〜4億9,500万ドルから5億500万ドル〜5億2,500万ドルへと引き上げました。EPSガイダンスも0.67ドル〜0.75ドルに上方修正されました。
• Harmonicはビデオ事業のMediaKindへの売却を取引完了時に1億3,790万ドルで完了し、ブロードバンド事業に特化したピュアプレイ企業へと移行しました。
• ファイバー展開とインテリジェンス製品の拡大が続きました。cOSの導入実績は161社、4,820万台のCPE端末に達し、Beaconは約20社の顧客で運用を開始しました。

主要財務データ

特に断りのない限り、電話会議で議論された財務指標はNon-GAAPベースで提示されています。

大手顧客2社がそれぞれ四半期売上高の10%以上を占め、両社合計で全体の63%を占めました。第2四半期の営業利益には、ビデオ事業売却に関連する残存固定費（ストランデッドコスト）230万ドルが含まれています。

事業および業績の動向

Harmonicによると、「その他市場」における需要はラボ試験の段階を超え、DOCSIS 3.1+、DOCSIS 4.0、およびファイバー全体の本格導入へと移行しました。同グループからの売上高は7月3日に終了した6か月間で1億ドルを超え、前年同期比で約60%増加しました。

同社のcOSプラットフォームは、ファイバーに加えて分散型および集中型のDOCSISアーキテクチャをサポートしています。経営陣は、事業者が基盤となるプラットフォームを交換することなくネットワーク戦略を変更できるため、この柔軟性が顧客導入の重要な要因になっていると説明しました。

その他市場の顧客からのファイバー関連受注額は四半期として過去最高を記録しました。フィンランドのDNA社でHarmonicの「Star MDU」光ノードの運用が開始されたほか、ベネズエラのInter社はモバイルバックホール用の全国規模のXGS-PONサービス構築に同プラットフォームを採用しています。また同社は、「Pearl One XL」および「Oyster Plus」に関して初となる数百万ドル規模の受注を獲得しました。

DOCSIS 4.0分野において、Harmonicは複数の顧客向けに統合ノードの大量出荷を開始しており、当四半期中に欧州の新規顧客を1社獲得したと発表しました。また経営陣は、サプライヤー6社とチップセットベンダー2社のケーブルモデムが関与する相互運用性のマイルストーンを達成したことも強調しました。

Harmonicのインテリジェンス・ポートフォリオの導入も着実に拡大しています。「Beacon」は約20社の顧客で稼働しており、より新しいインテリジェンス製品は約10社の通信事業者で運用されています。経営陣によると、初期導入によりサービスプロバイダーへの加入者からの問い合わせ件数が30%以上削減されました。Harmonicの顧客推奨度（NPS）は87に達しました。

業績予想（ガイダンス）

通期売上高の見通しは、従来の4億7,500万ドル〜4億9,500万ドルから引き上げられました。また、経営陣はEPSガイダンスの中央値を約0.09ドル（14.5%）引き上げました。

下半期の見通しには、顧客への価格転嫁が見込まれないメモリーコストの上昇分（毎四半期約300万ドル）が含まれています。通期のブロードバンド営業利益ガイダンスには約1,000万ドルの残存固定費が含まれていますが、経営陣はビデオ事業売却完了から1年以内にその約30%が削減されると見込んでいます。

Harmonicは通期の予想Non-GAAP税率を24.5%から23%に引き下げました。経営陣は、中東情勢や部品の供給・価格状況を考慮し、ガイダンスには引き続き慎重な姿勢を維持していると述べました。

リスクと注目点

• メモリー価格の上昇が下半期の粗利益率を押し下げると予想されていますが、Harmonicは2026年に必要なすべてのメモリーを調達済みであり、2027年に向けた供給も確保していると説明しました。
• 第2四半期の売上高の63%をわずか2社が占めるなど、特定顧客への依存度は引き続き高水準にとどまっています。
• 成長支援および供給確保を目的とした部品の前倒し受入に伴い、在庫および運転資金の必要額が増加しています。
• ビデオ事業の売却に伴い、Harmonicは通期のブロードバンド営業利益において約1,000万ドルの残存固定費が発生すると見込んでいます。
• 経営陣は、中東情勢や部品の供給・価格設定を、ガイダンス策定に影響を与える外部の不確実性として挙げています。

アナリスト質疑応答の要点

経営陣は、「その他市場」の成長がラボでの試験運用ではなく本格的な商用展開を反映したものであると述べました。顧客の導入段階はそれぞれ異なるものの、導入形態は多角化しており、売上高も複数の事業者に分散されています。

北米が引き続き最大の市場ですが、Harmonicは欧州、中南米、アジアからの貢献度が高まっていると報告しました。経営陣は、顧客が基盤となるKubernetesやマイクロサービス・アーキテクチャを管理することなく、仮想化されたcOSプラットフォームをアプライアンスとして運用できるため、プラットフォームの複雑さが現在導入の障壁にはなっていないと述べています。

インテリジェンス・プラットフォームは、継続的な収益（リカーリングレベニュー）に大きく貢献し、高い顧客粘着性を持つサービス関係を提供すると期待されていますが、具体的な時期や売上目標は示されませんでした。

Harmonicは、BEAD（ブロードバンド普及・展開プログラム）関連の売上高は2026年ガイダンスにおいて控えめな水準にとどまると説明しました。同社は関連製品を出荷するために必要な受注を獲得し、サプライチェーンを構築済みです。

Unknown Speaker

Thanks, David, and welcome everyone to our second quarter of 2026 earnings score. U2 was another strong quarter both financially and in terms of the progress we've made on our strategic imperatives. We saw continued strengths in rest of market demand, an accelerating pace of fiber deployments, and encouraging results from our new intelligence layer. In June, we completed the sale of our video business, marking the completion of our transformation to a pure play broadband company. With the momentum and improved visibility we achieved in the first half of the year, we are once again raising our full year 2026 broadband revenue outlook. Driving this momentum is an important theme we have been building toward for several years. Operators no longer have to settle the network architectures question before they can move forward. because our Converge COS platform supports all access architectures, DOCSIS 3.1+, DOCSIS 4.0, distributed, centralized, and fiber.

Operators are deploying COS knowing it will evolve as their priorities do. from more to an accelerated fiber overlay over time. This is more important than ever for operators, as network traffic is not just growing, it is changing shape. Open Vault's latest data show upstream traffic now growing more than three times faster than downstream. The third consecutive year, that gap has widened. AI pushes the same way. Agents and connected devices fill traffic upstream and run around the clock, not just at the evening peak, which is what legacy broadband networks were engineered around. The critical constraint is upstream capacity, and there is more than one way to relieve it. DOCSIS 4.0, a high split upgrade or fiber.

The unique strength of our platform is that it enables all of these options with the same software, at the same time. Cable One's CEO captured this well at the independent show in July, describing network topology as the biggest question broadband operators face and saying his plan is to trial DOCSIS 3.1 splits, DOCSIS 3.1+, DOCSIS 4.0, and fiber side by side. available and deployed with COS today, making this entire evaluation possible with a single platform. This flexibility matters more than ever as legacy platforms are both constrained on upstream capacity and approaching the end of their youthful life. For a growing number of global operators, those legacy systems are an increasing security and maintenance liability. As they weigh their options, COS and Harmonic are uniquely positioned as the platform and company enabling them to modernize across current and future architectures. This is the dynamic that is now driving our market momentum worldwide. Turning to our financial results highlights on slide 5, Q2 revenue grew 54% year over year to $133.5 million, above the high end of our guidance and our strongest second quarter ever.

Rest of market revenue grew 44% year over year to to nearly $50 million. Looking at the six month end of July 3rd, this revenue surpassed $100 million, approximately 60% higher than in the first half of last year. Bookings were again strong in the quarter reaching $144 million, led by rest of market, which represented approximately 60% of total bookings in the quarter. Also, we exited the quarter with backlog and deferred revenue of $588 million. This continues. to improve our visibility and it is a key reason we are raising our full year outlook. Rest of market continued in the quarter. Momentum continued in the quarter, and behind the revenue is an expanding base of customers.

Our deployed COS footprint now includes 161 customers serving 48.2 million CPE devices. Blue Peak is a good illustration of why operators are choosing us, and it goes directly to the theme I opened with. Two years ago, they selected our distributed access platform to expand their DOCSIS network. Partway through, their strategy evolved and they began overbuilding parts of their footprint with fiber. In the words of their Vice President of Technology and Engineering, Eric Fliegel, because of the platform they had already deployed, they were able to quickly make a technology shift utilized the same housing, the same infrastructure, the same backhaul, and start deploying XGS PON very quickly. Today, they decide service area by service area, where to run DOCSIS and where to run FIBER. That is the pattern we are seeing repeatedly.

Operators start with one use case and expand over time across DOCSIS and or FIBER and increasingly add network intelligence, which I will come back to shortly. And they do it by leveraging the COS platform underneath. Fiber momentum continued to build, with Q2 setting a record rest of market fiber bookings. Deployments are ramping alongside the bookings. Star, our MDU optical node, went live at DNA Finland, the European operator behind the sizeable booking we highlighted last quarter. They are now bringing multi-gigabit service into apartment buildings that were previously uneconomic to upgrade by reusing the existing in-building network. We are also seeing fiber used in ways that extend our market beyond residential broadband.

Inter Venezuela, the largest private ISP in the country, is building a nationwide XGS phone service on our platform for mobile backhaul, using fiber as carrier infrastructure for operators preparing for 5G. The new product portfolio we previewed at FiberConnect last quarter is already converting to orders. We secured our first multimillion-dollar order for the Perl One XL and Oyster Plus, which together deliver high port density and keep service running through extended power outages. of downtime in outdoor deployments. Their outdoor design lets operators keep the street cabinet all together. to keep the street cabinet altogether, consolidating that capacity into one compact, power-protected device that deploys faster, costs less to install, and takes up far less space in the communities they serve. Together, our record fiber bookings, expanding portfolio, and converged architecture position us to keep gaining share as operators look for more flexible, reliable, and cost-effective ways to expand fiber. The DOCSIS 4.0 ecosystem took an important step forward. In June, cable modems from six suppliers across two chipset vendors cleared the first CableLabs interoperability milestone on the path to DOCSIS 4.0 certification.

With multi-vendor modem supply now coming into place, operators can move ahead. on DOCSIS 4.0 with greater confidence. We are shipping unified DOCSIS 4.0 nodes in volume across a broad range of customers as they ramp their upgrades. We also want a new DOCSIS 4.0 customer in Europe during the quarter. With DOCSIS 4.0, operators can deliver fiber-like upstream speeds over the plan they already have, which is what an AI era applications increasingly demand. Turning to our new intelligence area, we continue to see adoption buildings. Beacon is now live with approximately 20 customers. and our broader intelligence platform is expanding, with newer offerings now running with about 10 operators. Early deployments continue to show significant value, including a reduction in subscribers calls to service providers by more than 30%, as we discussed last quarter. which extends real-time visibility into the amplifier plant is now in beta with several operators running with amplifiers from two different vendors.

That matters as many operators run multi-vendor amplifier strategy for supply chain flexibility and assurance. A recent Deloro report projects that nearly 10 million of the amplifiers deployed in the industry's current upgrade cycle will be smart amplifiers. In other words, the outside plant is being instrumented by the upgrade cycle itself, generating the kind of granular real-time data our intelligence layer is built to use. That is a significant expansion of the opportunity ahead of us. outcomes and our customer first approach show up in how our customers rate us. Our customer NPS reached 87 in the second quarter. Turning to slide six, stepping back, there are four things driving the growth of Harmonic. And during the second quarter, we made significant progress on each of them.

First, the access and fiber on a single converged architecture, which is increasingly why operators select us in the first place. Second, a global base. that global customer base that keeps widening beyond our largest accounts. Third, new intelligence products and services where adoption is building across our customer base. And fourth, operating leverage which is increasingly visible in our financial performance. We are looking forward to sharing more with you at our upcoming Investor Day on September 15th, including our updated view of the market opportunity, our longer-term strategy, and growth plans. much more on the intelligence opportunity. I hope many of you will be able to join us. That concludes my opening remarks. With that, I will turn the call over to Walter to walk you through our financials in more detail.

Unknown Speaker

Thanks Nimrod and thank you all for joining us today. Before I discuss our quarterly results and outlook, I'd like to remind everyone the financial results I'll be referring to on this call are provided on a non-GAAP basis. As David mentioned earlier, our Q2 press release and earnings presentation include reconciliations of our non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures. Both of these are available on our website. As previously announced, we completed the sale of our video business to Mediakind on June 16th of this year. Proceeds from the sale were $137.9 million paid at closing, subject to final post-closing adjustments under the terms of the APA. As a result, we Harmonic now operates as a pure play broadband company with a single reportable segment, broadband.

With this context, I'm pleased to report that our strong business momentum continued into the second quarter, with broadband revenue increasing 54% year over year, including 44% growth in rest of market. In addition, we had strong quarterly bookings and once again closed the quarter with record backlog and deferred revenue. Notably, approximately 60% of bookings in the quarter came from the rest of market where book to bill was well over 1.5. Given these results and leading indicators, we are once again raising our full-year guidance, with broadband revenue now expected at $505 to $525 million, up from our prior range of $475 to $495 million. I'll provide a more detailed breakout of our guidance shortly. Let's move to slide eight, where we have the financial highlights for the quarter. Broadband revenue was $133.5 million, well above our guidance range of $115 to $125 million.

Gross margin for the quarter was 53%, consisting with our guidance, and the net unrecovered memory cost impact remained well below $1 million. Operating expenses were higher this quarter, mainly due to company incentive-based accruals tied to our improved full year 2026 financial performance forecast. And moving to the bottom line, EPS was 21 cents, again, above our guidance range of 15 to 19 cents. And operating profit was 31.3 million, exceeding our guidance of 23 to 28 million. These results include $2.3 million in stranded costs related to the video business sale. Revenue upside was broad-based and included a number of rest-of-market customers ramping their deployments during the quarter. In Q2, two customers each accounted for more than 10% of revenue, together representing 63% of total revenue.

Our Q2 rest of market revenue showed very strong year-over-year growth of 44%, representing 37% of total revenue, underscoring our progress in expansion. expanding our customer diversification. As a reminder, rest of market revenue describes all revenue that is not from our two largest customers as measured by subscriber count. Turning to slide 9, you can see our balance sheet and cash flow highlights. The closing of the video transaction gave our already healthy balance sheet a strong capital infusion, bringing cash and cash equivalents to 231.9M at quarter end. That inflow throw the sequential change in cash partially offset by negative free cash flow of 7M dollars the quarter which was primarily due to an increase in memory inventory as we took early delivery to secure supply for growth. DSO at the end of Q2 was 61 compared to 62 in Q1-26 and 72 in Q2-25. We expect DSO to trend back to the low 70s going forward based on our customer mix.

Inventory increased 15.3 million in the quarter, and our days inventory on hand increased to 95 days from 80 days last quarter. overall book to bill was 1.1 in Q2, with rest of market significantly above 1 as previously mentioned. At the end of Q2, broadband backlog and deferred revenue reached a record $587.6 million, up 71% year-over-year, of which 73% is expected to convert to revenue within the next 12 months. This gives us increased visibility for the remainder of 2026 and into 2027. As shown on slide 10, we believe we have ample liquidity to support our capital allocation priorities with $232 million in cash and an $85 million undrawn credit facility. This significant increase in cash gives us the financial flexibility to execute our capital allocation. application plan. Our capital application priorities remain unchanged. invest in organic growth and diversification, return capital to our shareholders, and pursue strategic M&A to further enhance growth and diversification in our business. In line with our first key priority, we plan to keep investing in organic growth.

This will increase our inventory over the next several quarters, including advancing memory purchases to secure supply. As discussed on prior calls, these organic broadband opportunities are in both our intelligence platform and fiber portfolio. Under our current $200 million share repurchase program, to date we have already repurchased $122 million of our outstanding shares. We did not repurchase shares during the second quarter. As we stated previously, we expect to fund ongoing repurchases through both current cash and strong free cash flow generation over the next several years, with a minimum goal of purchasing enough shares each year to offset any dilution from equity compensation awards. In addition, with the substantial cash infusion from the sale of video, we are well positioned to explore additional inorganic growth opportunities that would further diversify our business and accelerate our growth strategy. Turning to guidance on slide 11, here we provide our continuing operations non-GAAP financial guidance for Q3 26 and full year 26, which reflects our raised full year outlook.

We continue to take a measured approach to guidance for both revenue and margins. We believe this is prudent given external factors such as the situation in the Middle East and secondarily, component supply dynamics and pricing. Our full year margin guidance incorporates the current market pricing for memory. Let me walk you through our guidance. For Q3 26, we expect to deliver broadband revenue between 125 and 135 million, gross margins between 51 and 52%, reflecting the elevated memory costs, operating profit between 23 and 28 million, and EPS of between 15 and 15. and 19 cents. As our guidance shows, we expect strong year-over-year revenue growth in 2-3. Q3 operating profit includes approximately $2.3 million in stranded costs.

For the full year 2026, we expect broadband revenue between 505 and 525 million, up 30 million or 6.2% from the midpoint of our prior guidance. gross margins between 51 and 52 percent, and improvement over prior guidance based on customer mix and the mitigation of supply chain impacts. operating profit between 99 and 111 million, and EPS between 67 and 75 cents, up approximately nine cents or 14.5% from the midpoint of our prior guidance. As we noted last quarter, we have built approximately $3 million per quarter into our second half guidance for the net increased memory costs that are not expected to be passed on. Our team has done a terrific job securing memory supply for the rest of 2026 and into 2027. Additionally, full-year broadband operating profit includes approximately $10 million in stranded costs. And to reiterate what we said last quarter, we continue to believe approximately 30% of these stranded costs are temporary and will be eliminated within one year of the video sale closing. Please note that our expected non-GAAP tax rate for full year 26 has been reduced to 23% from 24.5% previously, reflecting our updated view of profitability. In summary, in the second quarter, we delivered results that once again significantly exceeded our expectations with broadband revenue growing 54% year over year.

Our record broadband backlog and deferred revenue and supply availability give us increased visibility, enabling us to raise our full year guidance. With the sale of our video business now behind us, we are well positioned, focused, and have considerable capital to further accelerate our growth in the rapidly growing broadband sector.

Unknown Speaker

Thank you. Any last remarks before we open up the call for questions? Thanks, Walter. To close, Q2 was a strong quarter across virtually every measure, our strongest second quarter ever on revenue, continued strengths in rest of market growth, a faster pace of fiber deployment, and wider adoption of our intelligence portfolio. We are raising our outlook for the second time this year as the visibility we have built supports it. Operators keep choosing Harmonic for the same reason. Harmonic lets them evolve their network without regrettable spend. We will have a great deal more to say about where that leads at the upcoming Investor Day next month. That concludes our prepared remarks. Walter and I are now happy to take your questions.

Operator

Thank you. As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press Star 11 on your telephone. You will hear that automated message advising your hand is raised. To remove yourself, press Star 11 again. We also ask that you wait for your name and company to be announced before proceeding with your question. One moment while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question will be coming from the line of Victor Chills, Raymond James.

Unknown Speaker

Hi guys, this is Victor in for Simon. Thanks for taking the question. Can you just provide some color around the demand dynamics from the rest of the market? Are we seeing an inflection here now where smaller regional MSOs are starting to follow through with the Comcast Charter Upgrade Playbook? And, you know, In addition, are these still kind of lab trials or are we seeing, you know, the first phases of their actual upgrades now? Yes.

Unknown Speaker

Victor, let me take that. So as we previously discussed, this is a growing list of customers, many of which we announced last year and early this year. This is... way past the lab trials. This is ramping deployments across the board. And as much as we talked about DOCSIS 4.0, we also see customers that are doing what's called the DOCSIS 3.1 plus, kind of the extended version of DOCSIS and Fiber. So it's really across the board, all the use cases that we have. And it's really coming, as you indicated, outside.

Unknown Speaker

of the top two customers. Great. And just a quick follow-up. What percentage of the rest of the market would you say in your estimation has kind of started ramping now and started full-on deploying for these upgrades?.

Unknown Speaker

It's a growing percentage of the rest of the market. We never broke it down. exactly and not all of them are at the same stage. Clearly some of them are further along than others. But it's certainly a growing percentage that we see out there and there is more to come. As there is a longer list of customers that are either making a decision or made a decision and are going through the different stages in the lab testing field trial before they ramp up. So what you see every quarter is a growing blend of those that are ramping up, those that are just starting, and behind the scene as we keep announcing new wins, these are kind of opportunities and customers that are coming up to speed with their rollouts.

Unknown Speaker

That's very helpful. Thank you very much. And just to add to Nimrod's comments around the rest of market, that revenue is well diversified across a broad set of customers. So to Nimrod's point, more customers are coming on board. And therefore, when you look at the makeup of that revenue, it is well diversified across many customers.

Operator

Thank you. That's very helpful. Thank you. One moment for the next question. Our next question is coming from the line of Steven Fringle of Rosenblatt Securities. You may proceed. Stephen, your line is open. Good afternoon. Thank you.

Unknown Speaker

Can we just talk in general about what's the potential for these intelligence platforms in terms of, you know, kind of raising the recurring revenue portion of your business? Is this something that could be material in two or three years, or is it going to take longer than that for...

Unknown Speaker

for this stream of revenue to build up? It will certainly be material for what we report today on recurring revenue. It will also be very sticky to the service that we provide. We think it's going to take time and we plan on sharing more details on what exactly we do there and kind of what's the the road ahead but We certainly see that as a growing in an area that will be material to our recurring revenue kind of category that we report and for the overall business.

Unknown Speaker

Okay, and you've done a great job battling rising memory costs, which seem to be really impacting. everyone, can you do you think you can keep this up throughout this year and into next year? Or do you think that you just got ahead of your growth curve this year, which bought you some cushion?.

Unknown Speaker

Steve, it's Walter. So first of all, with regards to memory, we've already procured all the memory that we need for FY26. And our team's done a good job kind of early days when this was becoming an issue to front run and get supply. And so now you're seeing in the second half, some of that supply from a cost standpoint, obviously, is reflecting closer to the market price of that product as we are. already procured it and you mentioned I mentioned during the opening remarks that we built in about $3,000,000 per quarter in terms of the impact of the memory costs. And so that's where it's increasing and that's reflected now into the memory and sorry into the gross. margin guidance that we've provided for Q3 as well as the full year. And so yes, the team's done a great job. We've mitigated certain risks and today you saw in our guidance for the full year, we actually raised our gross margin guidance.

Unknown Speaker

for that period. Great, I'll jump back in the queue, thank you.

Operator

Okay, thanks, Steve. Thank you. If you would like to ask a question, please press star 11 on your telephone. One moment for the next question. And our question is coming from the line of Ryan Coons of Needham & Company. Please go ahead.

Unknown Speaker

Great, thanks for the question. I'm going to ask a little bit about rest of market, maybe in a different angle here. ONE, ANY COLOR ON DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIES RELATIVE TO REST OF MARKET TRACTION AND ADOPTION? AND SECONDLY, ARE THERE ANY PARTICULAR UNLOCKS THAT YOU'VE ACHIEVED TO ALLOW THEM TO OPERATIONALIZE VIRTUAL CNTS AND DAA, WHICH HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY YEARS OF STRUGGLES?.

Unknown Speaker

about that? Yes. So, on the first question, you know, clearly majority of the businesses in North America, although you have to look at Canada and Mexico separately, we've got customers in both. There are a growing number of opportunities that we've either announced or in the pipeline in both Latin America, Asia, and a sizeable number of opportunities in Europe. So when you think about rest of market, if you exclude the top two and you kind of look at the mix, there is definitely a bigger contribution coming outside of North America. your second question. Look, it took a while. Obviously, it's Kind of a distributed architecture, but I think we we did a good job over the years to simplify that and train our customers. We got great experts helping our customers with with services and you know the one thing I can say even though our has all the bells and whistles of Kubernetes and kind of a scale out microservices architectures. Our customers do not have to know all of that when they operate our platform. They really look at that as an appliance.

So I think this is clearly not kind of a headwind to our business growth at the moment from a.

Unknown Speaker

kind of a complexity of deployment point of view. Super helpful. And then maybe on the cost side, as it relates to solutions and your requirements to deliver servers and networking and other parts of the complete solution, I'M SURE YOU'RE SEEING SOME COST PRESSURES THERE. COST PRESSURES THERE. ARE YOU SEEING ANY OF THOSE BEING impediments to your customers deployments relative to just raw raw hardware costs for off-the-shelf private cloud the short answer is no but I'm going to let Walter expand on that.

Unknown Speaker

Yes, I think from anything that we provide as you know from a third party in terms of switches and servers, we mentioned it during the last quarter's call that that is one of the things that we do for some of our rest of market customers. We procure those items as well. Obviously, the prices of those items. Those have gone up and impact customers out there, but from the perspective of its materiality to our business, it's very small. And so far, we really haven't seen any impact from a supply standpoint. It's more around the price of these items.

Unknown Speaker

Terrific. Thanks, guys. And maybe if I can squeeze one more in, a question about the fiber market, how you think about that, how you're thinking about bead and any catalyst out there that you think would shift cable operators to more aggressively rehab coax.

Unknown Speaker

versus upgraded fiber from your perspective? Yes, so let me start, and then Walter will chime in on the beads, Bubba. So, we do see cable operators do fiber, but Very few are doing wholesale overbuild of themselves. They will do everything to grow fiber to address MDUs or certain applications, but some of them, and I did mention Blue Peak as an example, will do an overbuild and that's the beauty of our platform that it lets them kind of make the transition in a very seamless way. We expect over the next couple of years, Some will be more aggressive, some less about this migration. And this is clearly something that we see as a great opportunity for our business being a converged platform. We also think that our fiber portfolio is very attractive for the broader fiber. market outside of cable. I did mention the win that we had with the new Pearl XL that has this unique power protection capabilities.

This is going for the broader fiber market, not specific to cable. And it really provides a significant value for those that are doing these deployments relative to the traditional street cabinet architecture, etc. So we're excited about what we have and expecting to keep growing this business. Walter, please address the bead question.

Certainly. So Ryan, Bede in terms of our guidance, it's a modest part of our overall revenue guidance. I think we've mentioned previously that we've received orders and are ready to ship out in terms of Bede product, in terms of having the supply chain all set up. As Nimrod pointed out, you know, we've got some very unique products for that market in terms of ruggedized OLT type of infrastructure, which is playing really well into that market. So right now, it's moving as planned. It's not a significant part of our guidance this year.
