EXTREME NETWORKS INC

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Extreme Networks, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Extreme” or the “Company”), is a leader in AI-powered cloud networking solutions for enterprise customers. The Company conducts its sales and marketing activities on a worldwide basis through distributors, resellers, and the Company’s field sales organization. Extreme was incorporated in California in 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Extreme included herein have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2026 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and the financial condition of Extreme at September 30, 2026. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal 2027 or any future periods.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a fiscal calendar year ending on June 30. All references herein to “fiscal 2027” or “2027” represent the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. All references herein to “fiscal 2026” or “2026” represent the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Extreme and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company predominantly uses the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. The functional currency for certain of its foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. For those subsidiaries that operate in a local functional currency environment, all assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. Dollars at current month-end rates of exchange and revenues and expenses are translated using the monthly average rate.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenues

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales of its networking equipment, with the remaining revenues generated from sales of subscription and support, which primarily includes software subscriptions delivered as software as a service (“SaaS”) and additional revenues from maintenance contracts, professional services and training for its products. The Company sells its products, SaaS and maintenance contracts to customers and to partners intwo distribution channels, or tiers. The first tier consists of a limited number of independent distributors that stock its products and sell primarily to resellers. The second tier of the distribution channel consists of non-stocking distributors and value-added resellers that sell primarily to end-users. Products and subscription and support may be sold separately or in bundled packages.

Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Certain of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations, as the promise to transfer individual goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells these products. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the stand-alone selling prices using other observable inputs.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as the customer receives and consumes the benefits provided. Substantially all of the Company’s product sales revenues are recognized at a point in time. Substantially all of the Company’s subscription and support revenues are recognized over time. For revenues recognized over time, the Company primarily uses an input measure, days elapsed, to measure progress.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $666.3 million of remaining performance obligations, which is primarily comprised of deferred SaaS subscription and deferred support revenues. The Company expects to recognize approximately 43% of its deferred revenue as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2027, an additional 27% in fiscal 2028, and the remaining 30% of the balance thereafter.

Contract Balances. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Services provided under renewable SaaS subscription and support arrangements of the Company are billed in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, the majority of which are billed fully at the inception of the contract. The Company generally receives payments from its customers in advance of services being provided, resulting in deferred revenue. These liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $106.9 million and $104.7 million, respectively.

Contract Costs. The Company recognizes theincremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Management expects that commission fees paid to sales representatives as a result of obtaining subscription and support contracts and contract renewals are recoverable, and therefore the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets included capitalized balances in the amount of $32.5 million and $32.1 million as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively. Capitalized commissions are included within “Other assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Capitalized commission fees are amortized on astraight-line basis over the average period of service contracts of approximately four years and are included in “Sales and marketing” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $3.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Estimated Variable Consideration. There were no material changes in the current period to the estimated variable consideration for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied during previous periods.

Disaggregation of Revenues. The Company operates in three geographic regions: Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific). The following table presents the Company’s net revenues disaggregated by geographic region (in thousands):

Geographic Concentrations

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 the Company generated 18% of its net revenues from the Netherlands. No other foreign country accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Customer Concentrations

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral in exchange for credit.

The following table presents customers accounting for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues for the periods indicated below:

The following table presents major customers accounting for 10% or more of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance:

Balance Sheet Accounts

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (in thousands):

Inventories

The following table summarizes the Company’s inventory by category (in thousands):

Property and Equipment, Net

The following table summarizes the Company’s property and equipment, net by category (in thousands):

The Company recorded depreciation expense of $4.1 million and $3.7 million related to property and equipment during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents invoiced amounts for deferred subscription and support and other deferred revenue including professional services and training when the revenue recognition criteria have not been met.

Guarantees and Product Warranties

The majority of the Company’s hardware products are shipped with either aone-year warranty or a limited lifetime warranty, and software products receive a 90-day warranty. Upon shipment of products to its customers, the Company estimates expenses for the cost to repair or replace products that may be returned under warranty and accrues a liability in cost of product revenues for this amount. The determination of the Company’s warranty requirements is based on actual historical experience with the product or product family, estimates of repair and replacement costs, and any product warranty problems that are identified after shipment. The Company estimates and adjusts these accruals at each balance sheet date in accordance with changes in these factors.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s product warranty liability during the following periods (in thousands):

To facilitate sales of its products in the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies its resellers and end-user customers with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the customer harmless against losses arising from intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. It is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material impact on its operating results or financial position.

Concentrations

The Company may be subject to concentration of credit risk as a result of certain financial instruments consisting of accounts receivable. See Note 3, Revenues, for the Company’s accounts receivable concentration. The Company does not invest an amount exceeding 10% of its combined cash in the securities of any one obligor or maker, except for obligations of the United States government, obligations of United States government agencies, and money market accounts.

Fair Value Measurements

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are defined as follows:

•

Level 1 Inputs - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2 Inputs - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

•

Level 3 Inputs - unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions in measuring the asset or liability at fair value.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Level 1 Assets and Liabilities:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The Company states accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment.

Level 2 Assets and Liabilities:

The Company’s level 2 assets consist of certificates of deposit and derivative instruments. Certificates of deposit do not have regular market pricing and are considered Level 2. The fair value of derivative instruments under the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and zero-cost collar contracts is estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs, which is considered Level 2.

As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the Company had investments in certificates of deposit of$5.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, which are recorded as cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company considers these cash equivalents to be available-for-sale and, as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, their fair value approximated their amortized cost.

As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the Company had foreign exchange forward contracts that were not designated as hedging instruments with a total notional principal amount of $83.4 million and $68.0 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are included in “Other expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the net gains and losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations were net losses of $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. See Note 12, Derivatives and Hedging, for additional information.

As of September 30, 2026, and June 30, 2026, the Company had zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments with a total notional principal amount of $91.9 million and $82.5 million, respectively. The changes in fair value of these zero-cost collar contracts designated as hedging instruments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” related to the changes in the fair value of the zero-cost collar contracts are reclassified into the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period that the hedged item impacts earnings. As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, these contracts had unrealized losses of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which are recorded as a component of“Accumulated other comprehensive loss”. See Note 12, Derivatives and Hedging, for additional information.

The fair value of borrowings under the 2026 Credit Agreement and 2023 Amended Credit Agreement (each as defined in Note 7) is estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which is considered Level 2. Since the interest rate is variable in these credit agreements, the fair value approximates the face amount of the Company’s indebtedness of $200.0 million and $165.0 million as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities:

Certain of the Company’s assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis if impairment is indicated.

As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the Company didnot have any assets or liabilities that were considered Level 3.

There wereno transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during thethree months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. There wereno impairments recorded for thethree months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible Assets

The following tables summarize the components of gross and net intangible asset balances (in thousands, except years):

The following table summarizes the amortization expense of intangible assets for the periods presented (in thousands):

The amortization expense that is recognized in “Total cost of revenues” primarily consists of amortization related to developed technology and license agreements.

The estimated future amortization expense to be recorded for each of the respective future fiscal years is as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill

The Company had goodwill in the amount of $397.4 million and $397.8 million as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively. The change in goodwill during the three months ended September 30, 2026 is primarily due to foreign currency translation adjustments which are recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Debt

The Company’s debt is comprised of the following (in thousands):

On June 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”), with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and a syndicate of lenders, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated August 9, 2019. The 2023 Credit Agreement provided for a $200.0 million first lien term loan facility and a $150.0 million five-year revolving credit facility and an uncommitted additional incremental loan facility in the principal amount of up to $100.0 million. On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Number One to the 2023 Credit Agreement (the “2023 Amended Credit Agreement”) to modify certain definitions. Borrowings under the 2023 Amended Credit Agreement bore interest, and at the Company’s election, may be made at a base rate or at a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum for base rate loans, and ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR loans, in each case based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. All SOFR loans were subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum and spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum.

On July 29, 2026, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2026 Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The 2026 Credit Agreement provided the Company with more favorable interest rates and covenant terms and further extended the maturity date of the Company's debt obligation. The 2026 Credit Agreement provides for afive-year revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million (the “2026 Revolving Facility”). The 2026 Revolving Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature, pursuant to which the Company may request incremental revolving loan commitments and/or incremental term loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (A) the greater of (i) $175.0 million and (ii)100.0% of Consolidated EBITDA, plus (B) an amount equal to any voluntary prepayments (in the case of voluntary prepayments of revolving indebtedness, accompanied by a permanent reduction to the related revolving commitments) of indebtedness under the 2026 Revolving Facility and other first lien indebtedness, plus (C) an unlimited amount subject to pro forma compliance with the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio and consolidated interest charge coverage ratio financial covenants.

Borrowings under the 2026 Credit Agreement bear interest, and at the Company's election, may be made at either the alternate base rate or Adjusted Term SOFR, plus an applicable margin that is calculated based on the Company's Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio from time to time and ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% in the case of loans accruing interest based on the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate and from 0.25% to 1.00% in the case of loans accruing interest based on the Alternate Base Rate (it being understood that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate as defined can be no lower than 0.00% and the Alternate Base Rate as defined can be no lower than 1.00%). In addition, Extreme has agreed to pay to the lenders under the 2026 Credit Agreement certain customary fees, including a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the revolving commitments under the 2026 Revolving Facility, which ranges from 0.20% to 0.25% based on Extreme’s consolidated total net leverage ratio from time to time. The commitments under the 2026 Credit Agreement will terminate, and all outstanding amounts thereunder will be due and payable, on the earliest of (i) July 29, 2031, (ii) the date of termination of the commitments by Extreme, and (iii) in connection with an exercise of remedies after the occurrence of an event of default.

The 2026 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2026 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of its property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The 2026 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.

On the closing date of the 2026 Credit Agreement, the Company terminated the 2023 Amended Credit Agreement and repaid all outstanding indebtedness under the 2023 Amended Credit Agreement, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees. At closing, the Company borrowed $200.0 millionof revolving loans under the 2026 Credit Agreement and used the proceeds to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the 2023 Amended Credit Agreement and to pay for fees and expenses related to the 2026 Credit

Agreement. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $200.0 million of revolving loans outstanding under the 2026 Credit Agreement which were recorded as “Long-term debt, less current portion” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness or credit agreement. During the period ended September 30, 2026, the Company wrote off $2.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2023 Amended Credit Agreement which are included in “Interest expense” in theaccompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $3.7 million related to the 2026 Credit Agreement. These costs are capitalized and recorded as“Other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the 2026 Revolving Facility. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of September 30, 2026 and 2025, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings was 5.08% and 6.54%, respectively.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $14.4 million of outstanding letters of credit which reduces the total borrowing base available under the 2026 Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2026, the Companyhad $285.6 million of availability for borrowing under the 2026 Credit Agreement and the Companywas in compliance with the terms and financial covenants under the 2026 Credit Agreement.

Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

The Company currently has arrangements with contract manufacturers and suppliers for the manufacture of its products. Those arrangements allow the contract manufacturers to procure long lead-time component inventory based upon a rolling production forecast provided by the Company. The Company is obligated to purchase long lead-time component inventory that its contract manufacturer procures in accordance with the forecast, unless the Company gives notice of order cancellation outside of applicable component lead times. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had non-cancelable commitments to purchase $117.1 million of inventory, which will be honored within the next twelve months. The Company expects to utilize its non-cancelable purchase commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Legal Proceedings

The Company may from time to time be party to litigation arising in the course of its business, including, without limitation, allegations relating to commercial transactions, business relationships or intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Litigation in general, and intellectual property litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not record a loss accrual. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of any prior accrual) is at least reasonably possible and material, then the Company would disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made, or disclose that an estimate cannot be made. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or a reasonable possibility, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Even if a loss is reasonably possible, the Company may not be able to estimate a range of possible loss, particularly where (i) the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories or a large number of parties. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including the amount of any possible loss, fine or penalty. However, an adverse resolution of one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

Mala Technologies Ltd. v. Extreme Networks GmbH, Extreme Networks Ireland Ops Ltd., and Extreme Networks, Inc.

On April 15, 2021, Mala Technologies Ltd. (“Mala”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company and its Irish and German subsidiaries in the District Court in Dusseldorf, Germany. The lawsuit alleges indirect infringement of the German portion of a patent (“EP ‘498”) based on the offer and sale in Germany of certain network switches equipped with the ExtremeXOS operating system. Mala is seeking injunctive relief, accounting, and an unspecified declaration of liability for damages and costs of the lawsuit. On December 20, 2022, the trial court ruled that the Company did not infringe the EP ‘498 patent and dismissed Mala’s complaint entirely. Mala has filed an appeal. On December 9, 2024, the Higher Regional Court stayed the matter until the nullity action has been finally decided.

The Company filed a nullity complaint against EP ‘498 with the German Federal Patent Court on September 24, 2021. The German Federal Patent Court issued a decision finding that the patent was invalid on November 20, 2024. Mala appealed the decision on March 3, 2025, and filed its Grounds of Appeal on June 5, 2025. The Company filed its response to the Grounds of Appeal on October 6, 2025. A hearing on the appeal is scheduled for February 9, 2027.

Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security Funds v. Extreme Networks, Inc., et al. and related Derivative Litigation

On August 13, 2024, a putative securities class action (the “Class Action”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security Funds v. Extreme Networks, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:24-cv-05102-TLT, naming the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers as defendants. The lawsuit is purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of Extreme Networks securities between July 27, 2022 and January 30, 2024 (the “Class Period”). The complaint alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on allegedly false and misleading statements about the Company’s business and prospects during the Class Period. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. On December 30, 2024, the Court selected Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System, Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System, Oakland County Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association and Oakland County Employees’ Retirement System as the lead plaintiffs. The Company's Motion to Dismiss was granted on August 15, 2025, but the plaintiffs were granted leave to file an amended complaint by September 9, 2025. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on October 3, 2025. Following a hearing on March 3, 2026, the Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss. On July 16, 2026, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion to certify the class. On July 30, 2026, the defendants filed a Rule 23(f) petition for permission to appeal the Court’s order certifying the class, captioned Okla. Firefighters Pension & Ret. Sys., et al. v. Extreme Networks, Inc., No. 26-4910 (9th Cir. July 30, 2026). On October 1, 2026, the parties filed a notice that they had reached a settlement in principle to resolve the Class Action. Also on October 1, 2026, the parties filed a motion to stay proceedings with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which was granted on October 8, 2026. On October 16, 2026, plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of settlement in the Class Action with a hearing date of December 1, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a loss contingency of $51.0 million relating to a potential settlement of the securities class action in“Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, as well as recorded a receivable for the estimated probable amounts expected to be recovered from the insurance carriers of $50.0 million which has been recorded in“Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On February 27, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Turner v. Brown et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-02101. On March 6, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Hemani v. Meyercord et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-02318-AGT. On March 25, 2025, a shareholder derivative case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina captioned Miller v. Meyercord et al., Case No. 5:25-cv-00161. Each of these shareholder derivative cases names current and former officers, directors, and employees of the Company as defendants, and seeks recovery on behalf of the Company based on substantially the same allegations as the Class Action. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in the two California shareholder derivative cases on December 1, 2025. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on December 19, 2025, and a hearing on the motion to dismiss took place on March 31, 2026. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on April 28, 2026. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on June 2, 2026. A hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended complaint is scheduled for November 17, 2026. The North Carolina case remains stayed pending a final decision on the motion to dismiss in the California cases.

Indemnification Obligations

Subject to certain limitations, the Company may be obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers and employees. These obligations arise under the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and applicable law. The obligation to indemnify, where applicable, generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse, and in certain circumstances the Company has paid or reimbursed, the individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possible damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with certain legal matters. The Company also procures Directors and Officers liability insurance to help cover its defense and/or indemnification costs, although its ability to recover such costs through insurance is uncertain. While it is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount that could be owed under these governing documents and agreements due to the Company’s limited history with prior indemnification claims, indemnification (including defense) costs could, in the future, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Stockholders’ Equity

Equity Incentive Plan

The Compensation Committee of the Board unanimously approved an amendment to the Extreme Networks, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) on September 14, 2026 to increase the maximum number of available shares by 1.0 million shares, which is subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting of stockholders, which will be held on November 4, 2026.

Common Stock Repurchases

On February 18, 2025, the Company announced that the Board had authorized management to repurchase up to $200.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock over athree-year period, commencing July 1, 2025 (the “2025 Repurchase Program”). Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 844,131 shares of its common stock on the open market at a total cost of $25.0 million with an average price of $29.62 per share. As of September 30, 2026, approximately$88.0 million remains available for share repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program.

As a provision of the Inflation Reduction Act enacted in the U.S., the Company is subject to an excise tax on corporate stock repurchases, which is assessed asone percent of the fair market value of net corporate stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. The excise tax's effect on net corporate stock repurchases was not material for the fiscal year 2026, and the Company expects the impact will not be material for fiscal year 2027 as well.

Employee Benefit Plans

Shares Reserved for Issuance

The Company had the following reserved shares of common stock for future issuance as of the dates noted (in thousands):

Share-based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements by line-item caption is as follows (in thousands):

Stock Options

The Company hasnot granted stock options in recent fiscal years. As of June 30, 2026 there were 0.08 million options outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price per share of $6.70, a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 0.16 years, and an aggregate intrinsic value of $1.9 million. There wereno stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2026.

Stock Awards

Stock awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan on terms approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Stock awards generally provide for the issuance of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) including performance-condition or market-condition RSUs which vest over a fixed period of time or based upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria or market conditions. The Company recognizes compensation expense on the stock awards over the vesting period based on the awards’ fair value as of the date of grant. The Company does not estimate forfeitures, but accounts for them as incurred.

The following table summarizes stock award activity for thethree months ended September 30, 2026 (in thousands, except grant date fair value):

The RSUs granted under the 2013 Plan vest over a period of time, generally one to three years, and are subject to participant's continued service to the Company.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company withheld an aggregate of 0.8 million shares and 1.0 million shares, respectively, upon the vesting of awards, to fund the employees’ minimum statutory tax obligations. During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company remitted cash of $19.0 million and $18.9 million, respectively, to the appropriate taxing authorities on behalf of the employees.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company granted approximately 0.9 million stock awards with vesting based on market conditions (“MSU”) to certain employees. The MSUs vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the Russell 2000 Index (“Index”). The MSU award represents the right to receive a target number of shares of common stock of up to 150% of the original grant. The MSUs vest based on the Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the Index over performance periods of three years from the grant date, subject to the grantees’ continued service through the certification of performance.

The grant date fair value of each MSU was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the TSR MSUs granted during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $23.28 per share and $22.23 per share, respectively. The following assumptions used to determine the grant-date fair values of the MSU during the following periods were:

As of September 30, 2026, there was $151.5 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards, including performance and market condition awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.02 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

There were approximately 0.5 million shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) during each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant-date fair values of the ESPP shares during the following periods:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of shares under the ESPP during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $8.26 and $5.83 per share, respectively.

Information about Segments and Geographic Areas

The Company operates as asingle reportable segment, focused on the development, marketing, and sale of network infrastructure equipment and related software and subscriptions. The Company conducts business globally.

Measure of segment profit or loss:

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis and uses consolidated net income (loss), as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources within the business. Consolidated net income (loss) is also used in the Company’s annual budgeting and forecasting processes to establish goals and compare actual results against both budgeted targets and historical performance.

Significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM are those presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations: cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Other segment items included in consolidated net income are restructuring and related charges, amortization of intangible assets, interest income, interest expense, other income (expense), net, and the provision for income taxes, which are also presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Measure of segment assets:

The measure of segment assets that is reviewed by the CODM is reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Total assets.” Depreciation expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $4.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Total expenditures for additions to property, plant and equipment recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were $6.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

The Company’s long-lived assets are attributed to the geographic regions as follows (in thousands):

Derivatives and Hedging

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency risk that may or may not be designated as hedging instruments. The Company’s objective for holding derivatives is to use the most effective methods to minimize the impact of these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward or zero-cost collar contracts to attempt to mitigate the effect of gains and losses generated by foreign currency transactions related to certain operating expenses and remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

For foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a gain position are recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and derivatives in a loss position are recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in “Other expense, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments had a total notional principal amount of $83.4 million and $68.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the net gains and losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from these contracts were net losses of $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are offset largely by remeasurement of the underlying assets and liabilities.

Zero-Cost Collar Contracts

The Company uses zero-cost collar contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with forecasted foreign currency denominated operating expenses. The changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” related to the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reclassified to the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings.

As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the Company had zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments with a total notional principal amount of $91.9 million and $82.5 million, respectively, which had maturities of less than twelve months. As of September 30, 2026, these contracts had unrealized losses of $1.9 million, which are recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”. For thethree months ended September 30, 2026, these contracts had realized net losses of $0.3 million which were reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There wereno outstanding zero-cost collar contracts that were designated as hedging instruments as of September 30, 2025.

Foreign Currency Transactions

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized foreign currency transaction net gains of less than$0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Restructuring and Related Charges

The Company recorded restructuring charges of $7.4 million and $0.4 million during thethree months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These charges primarily included severance and benefits costs and professional fees related to the restructuring plans executed during the current quarter and prior years.

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company executed a global reduction-in-force and real-estate consolidation plan, primarily within the sales, services delivery and product functions to transform its workforce and align its resources with AI-driven workflows and create greater productivity and efficiency and improve execution to align with the Company's business and strategic priorities (the “Q1 2027 Plan”). During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $7.4 million related to the Q1 2027 Plan. These charges primarily consisted of severance and benefits costs and legal expenses.

Through September 30, 2026, the Company incurred $7.4 million inrestructuring charges under the Q1 2027 Plan and expects to complete this plan by the end of the fiscal year 2027.

Restructuring liabilities are recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2026, the restructuring liability was $3.5 million which related to the Q1 2027 Plan and as of June 30, 2026, the restructuring liability was $1.1 million which related to the one-time early termination fee for a leased facility which was paid out during the three months ended September 30, 2026.

The following table summarizes the Company’s severance and employee related restructuring liabilities during the following periods (in thousands):

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of$2.5 million and$2.7 million, respectively.

The income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, consisted of (1) taxes on the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, (2) state taxes in jurisdictions where the Company has no remaining state net operating losses (“NOLs”), (3) foreign withholding taxes, and (4) tax expense associated with the establishment of a U.S. deferred tax liability for amortizable goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Enterasys Networks, Inc., the wireless local area network business from Zebra Technologies Corporation, the Campus Fabric Business from Avaya and the Data Center Business from Brocade. The interim income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were calculated using the discrete effective tax rate method as allowed by ASC 740-270-30-18, Income Taxes – Interim Reporting. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as (i) the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings on a jurisdictional basis and (ii) the Company’s ongoing assessment that the recoverability of certain U.S. deferred tax assets is not more likely than not.

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that deferred tax assets are recoverable including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, changes to enacted tax laws, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies; such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company’s inconsistent earnings in recent periods, including historical losses, tax attributes expiring unutilized in recent years, and the cyclical nature of the Company’s business provide sufficient negative evidence that requires a full valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets. These valuation allowances will be evaluated periodically and can be reversed partially or in whole if business results and the economic environment have sufficiently improved to support realization of some or all of the Company’s deferred tax assets. In the event the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, it will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

The Company had $18.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2026. If fully recognized in the future, $0.2 million would impact the effective tax rate and $17.8 million would result in adjustments to deferred tax assets and corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance with no impact to the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate any events to occur during the next twelve months that would materially reduce the unrecognized tax benefits as currently stated in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of tax expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In general, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2024 and forward remain subject to examination by tax authorities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the IRS completed a no-change IRS examination of the Company’s federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s state income tax returns are subject to examination for fiscal years 2005 and forward due to NOLs. In general, the Company’s Irish tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal years 2023 and forward.

On July 4, 2025, federal legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes numerous changes to existing tax law including provisions providing current deductibility of domestic research and development costs, modifications to the limitation on deductibility of business interest expense and modifications to the international tax framework. This legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective for the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and others for the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2027. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The effects of the new legislation are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2026.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used in the basic net income per share calculation plus the dilutive effect of any shares subject to repurchase, options and unvested RSUs.

The following table presents the calculation of net income per share of basic and diluted (in thousands, except per share data):

The following securities were excluded from the computation of net income per diluted share of common stock for the periods presented as their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):
