    Amira Manai's questions to ADTRAN Holdings Inc (ADTN) leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Amira Manai asked about the factors that could cause the Q1 non-GAAP operating margin to fall to the lower end of the 0% to 4% guidance range. She also inquired about the current status of the BEAD program and its potential impact on ADTRAN's business.

    Answer

    CFO Ulrich Dopfer explained that achieving revenue at the lower end of the guidance would naturally push operating margin toward the lower end of its range. He also cited potential variability in gross margin and a slight increase in operating expenses from normalized payroll and benefit adjustments as factors. CEO Thomas Stanton stated that the BEAD program has no significant impact on the company's current-year forecast, and any delays would not materially affect their plans.
