    Greg Mesniaeff's questions to SuperCom (SPCB) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Greg Mesniaeff of Kingswood Capital Partners asked for details on the drivers of the significant margin expansion, questioning if it was due to geographic or sales mix, and inquired about the company's visibility on future margin trends versus revenue growth.

    Answer

    Ordan Trabelsi, President & CEO, attributed the margin improvement to operational efficiencies in Europe and the inherently higher-margin, cloud-based model in the U.S. He cautioned that quarterly margins can be volatile due to the varying stages and mix of numerous global projects. Trabelsi stated that while the long-term trend for margins is positive, driven by scale and U.S. expansion, it is currently difficult to predict the precise pace of either margin expansion or revenue growth due to this project-level variability.

    Greg Mesniaeff's questions to Ribbon Communications (RBBN) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Greg Mesniaeff of Kingswood Capital Partners asked about the significant sequential increase in deferred revenue and its implications for future quarters. He also questioned why Q3 gross margin guidance wasn't more aggressive, given the high hardware sales in Q2, suggesting a "razor/razorblade" effect.

    Answer

    President, CEO & Director Bruce McClelland explained that deferred revenue is influenced by the timing of maintenance contract renewals, which often peak in Q4, and by large, multi-quarter product and service programs. Regarding gross margin, he noted that while it is expected to improve sequentially in Q3 due to a better software mix, it remains lower year-over-year because of increased professional services tied to modernization projects.
