GAAP operating income improved to $3 million from a loss of $1 million, while non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA slightly decreased to $29 million from $30 million. The IP Optical Networks segment saw an 11% year-over-year sales increase, driven by strong growth in EMEA and India.

The company also expanded its Cloud & Edge portfolio, which is becoming increasingly important to its customers, including large global technology and software companies.
