Infinera CEO David Heard said, “The third quarter was a strong quarter for us. We once again exceeded consensus expectations for both revenue and non-GAAP operating margin. On a year-over-year basis, we grew product revenue by 17% and total company revenue by 9%, and more than doubled operating profit, while generating free cash flow and strengthening our balance sheet. Further, we set another record in the quarter for ICE6 revenue and achieved additional key milestones with the field performance of our new pluggable products. Our results and progress were made against the backdrop of ongoing supply chain challenges, including the impact of elevated costs on our financial results.”

“Our investment thesis is sound, and we remain focused on the things we can control to grow market share and drive results to our target business model. We look forward to closing out 2022 on a strong note and building on our momentum in 2023 as we continue to deliver on our long-term growth and profitability objectives.”
