The earnings call reflected a strong performance by Calix in Q1 2025 with significant revenue growth and record gross margins. The company continues to innovate and expand its customer base. However, challenges related to a dynamic environment and potential costs from tariffs were noted. The positive achievements seem to outweigh the challenges.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During the Calix First Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided guidance for the upcoming quarter and the fiscal year. Calix reported strong first-quarter revenue of $220 million, marking a 7% sequential growth, and projected second-quarter revenue to be between $224 million and $227 million, representing a 2% sequential increase. The company's non-GAAP gross margin reached a record 56.2%, with expectations for continued margin improvement by 100 to 200 basis points for the full year. Calix also highlighted strong RPOs, which grew 4% sequentially to $340 million and 39% year-over-year, driven by their platform, cloud, and managed services model. The company maintained a positive outlook for 2025, anticipating ongoing demand growth due to inelastic broadband needs, while also planning to hold operating expenses flat to slightly up compared to 2024. Additionally, the Board approved a $100 million increase in the stock repurchase program, reflecting confidence in the company's free cash flow generation and growth prospects.
