On January 25, 2023, Extreme announced the resignation of Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") Rémi Thomas, effective February 16, 2023. That same day, Extreme reported its financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year ("FY") 2023. Among other items, Extreme revealed that, compared to the prior quarter, the Company's backlog had fallen to $542 million its Product Book to Bill Ratio had fallen from 1.3x to 0.9x and its Service Book to Bill Ratio had fallen from 1.4x to 1.2x. On a related earnings call, Extreme executives also shortened the timeline for backlog normalization.
On this news, Extreme's stock price fell $2.81 per share, or 14.55%, to close at $16.50 per share on January 25, 2023.
On August 24, 2023, Extreme filed its annual report for FY 2023 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, disclosing that its backlog stood at just $267.3 million, revealing a roughly $245 million decline year-over-year and a $275.7 million decline during the prior six months.
On this news, Extreme's stock price fell $2.52 per share, or 9.1%, to close at $25.16 per share on August 25, 2023.
On January 8, 2024, Extreme issued a press release that provided a business update, advising that "second quarter revenues are now expected to be approximately $294 to $297 million, compared to the prior outlook of $312 to $327 million." The Company attributed its revised guidance to "industry headwinds of channel digestion and elongated sales cycles."
On this news, Extreme's stock price fell $1.29 per share, or 7.36%, to close at $16.23 per share on January 9, 2024.
Then, on January 31, 2024, Extreme reported disappointing financial results and operational trends for the second quarter of FY 2024. Extreme disclosed that its revenues for the quarter were $296.4 million, down 7% year-over-year, and that it had generated just $186.6 million in product revenue, a decline of 37% year-over-year. Extreme further revealed that its product backlog had already normalized during the quarter and that the Company made the "conscious decision to put channel digestion behind [it] in the March quarter," leading to a "$40 million to $50 million reduction in channel inventory in the third quarter" that would result in "demand . . . being masked by inventory flowing out of the channel." Rather than increasing revenues as previously represented, Extreme provided new guidance that revealed the Company was in fact on track to suffer lower revenues in FY 2024.
On this news, Extreme's stock price fell $4.05 per share, or 24.34%, over the following three trading sessions, to close at $12.59 per share on February 2, 2024.
