NETGEAR, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, revealing a slight decline in net revenue to $168.6 million, down 1.2% from $170.5 million in the same period last year. The company's net loss for the quarter was $7.3 million, or $(0.27) per share, compared to a loss of $6.4 million, or $(0.22) per share, in the prior year. For the first half of the fiscal year, NETGEAR's revenue also decreased by 1.6% to $327.4 million, with a net loss of $20.3 million compared to a loss of $12.5 million in the same period last year.
The decline in revenue was primarily attributed to a 9.4% decrease in the Consumer segment, which was partially offset by a 7.7% increase in the Enterprise segment. The Consumer segment's decline was linked to lower sales of service provider products and ongoing challenges in the home networking retail market, including pricing pressures. Conversely, the Enterprise segment benefited from strong demand for Pro AV managed switches, particularly in the Americas and EMEA regions, which saw double-digit sales growth.
Operationally, NETGEAR's gross profit margin improved to 40.2%, up from 37.5% a year earlier, driven by a favorable revenue mix from the higher-margin Enterprise segment. However, the company faced increased operating expenses, totaling $76.2 million, which included higher research and development costs as NETGEAR continues to invest in its Enterprise business. The company’s headcount increased to support this growth, reflecting its strategic focus on enhancing its product offerings and market presence.
In terms of geographic performance, revenue from the Americas remained stable, while the EMEA region saw growth. However, the APAC region experienced a decline in both segments. Looking ahead, NETGEAR anticipates continued strong demand for its Enterprise products but expects challenges in the Consumer segment due to rising memory costs and a focus on prioritizing gross profit over revenue growth. The company remains committed to its transformation strategy, which includes investments in software development and expanding its service offerings to enhance recurring revenue streams.
