Netgear sees Q2 GAAP operating margin (8.4%)-(5.4%)

“Within Enterprise, end user demand for our ProAV line of managed switches is expected to remain strong and we have secured sufficient memory for virtually all our 2026 production plans. We expect the memory impact to be nominal for our Enterprise business given the relatively higher ASPs and margins, and the ability to increase our prices, as seen broadly in the market. On the Consumer side, while we have the right product portfolio and roadmap to address market demand, we will continue to prioritize gross profit over revenue with the rising cost of memory which we expect to continue throughout the year. We also expect to continue driving growth in higher margin recurring services. For Service Provider and related products, we remain steadfast in our approach of harvesting this business and expect revenue to be around $18 million, which would be a decline of approximately 33% as compared to the second quarter of 2025. Accordingly, we expect second quarter net revenue to be in the range of $150 million to $165 million. In the second quarter we expect our mitigation efforts, with greater benefit to the enterprise business, to counter the rising cost of memory. Accordingly, we expect our second quarter GAAP operating margin to be in the range of (8.4)% to (5.4)%, and non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of (1.0)% to 2.0%. Our GAAP tax is expected to be in the range of $0.8 million to $1.8 million, and our non-GAAP tax expense is expected to be in the range of $0.5 to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2026.”
