Extreme Networks Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Revenue up 11% and SaaS ARR Growth Accelerates to 29% YoY on Extreme Platform ONE Growth

Secured Forward Supply Chain to Meet Demand and Stabilize Gross Margins

Morrisville, NC, April 29, 2026 -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme”) (Nasdaq: EXTR) today released financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2026 ended March 31, 2026.

“Our fifth straight quarter of double-digit growth highlights strong momentum, fueled by disciplined execution, differentiated technology, and rising demand for our AI-powered platform. We’ve fully addressed our current and longer-term supply chain needs, including memory, through targeted sourcing strategies, product redesign, and strategic purchase commitments. These actions position us for continued share gains and growth. This quarter’s results reflect not just our performance today, but the strength and scalability of our strategy going forward,” said Ed Meyercord, President and CEO of Extreme.

“SaaS ARR growth accelerated, reflecting rising adoption and deeper customer engagement with Extreme Platform ONE. This momentum underscores the power of our platform approach and the shift toward a more predictable, recurring revenue model. It’s a clear signal that customers are standardizing on our platform to drive automation, boost productivity, and scale their operations,” said Meyercord.

Kevin Rhodes, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, noted, “The third quarter marked our eighth consecutive quarter of sequential product revenue growth, reflecting continued execution and share gains. Enterprise networking demand remains resilient, and the targeted pricing actions we implemented are successfully offsetting the incremental supply chain costs we have incurred. Together, these actions underpin our gross margin results and outlook. In addition, we returned $50 million to shareholders through an accelerated share repurchase, underscoring our confidence in the durability of our operating model and cash flow generation.”

Recent Key Highlights:

• Extreme supported Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the NCAA Men’s Final Four and rapidly modernized connectivity by removing legacy access points and deploying temporary infrastructure to ensure the venue was fully game-ready on an accelerated timeline. With Wi-Fi 7 from Extreme coming in time for the upcoming Indianapolis Colts season, this upgrade will enhance stadium operations through faster, more reliable network performance for ticketing, security, and concessions, while elevating the fan experience with seamless high-speed connectivity for streaming and mobile engagement.

• Extreme secured several new Extreme Platform ONE wins during the quarter, including Asiana Airlines, Atlantic Food Distributors, Bridgeport Public Schools, City of Prescott (AZ), Johnstone Supply, Nissha Medical Technologies, and the University of Buckingham. These customers are leveraging AI-powered automation to reduce manual tasks, streamline operations, minimize network complexity, and enable faster execution at lower cost.

• Extreme continues to gain share within the UK National Health Service, with a new win at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, where Extreme displaced a larger Chinese competitor. Fabric played a key role by delivering secure segmentation to protect patient data and devices. NHS selected Extreme’s one-license, one-device model for its simplicity and predictable cost.

• London Business School is deploying a full-stack Extreme solution to modernize networking across a complex urban campus spanning historic and modern
