Factors Shaping the Upcoming Results
During the quarter, CommScope joined forces with the National Content & Technology Cooperative (“NCTC”) to support independent service providers and expand broadband access in remote areas across the United States. Per the agreement, the company will offer its Build America, Buy America compliant portfolio and assist NCTC in securing funding under the BEAD program. Access to such innovative product offerings will significantly support independent service providers’ FTTH network deployment initiatives in rural and underserved areas.
In the first quarter of 2025, CommScope expanded its Propel portfolio with the launch of the Propel XFrame solution. This cutting-edge floor-mounted fiber frame solution is designed to meet the growing demands of data centers and high-performance computing facilities, providing scalable solutions for an evolving infrastructure landscape. With AI deployments and high-density fiber architectures transforming infrastructure needs, the Propel XFrame’s modular design ensures easier and faster reconfigurations, keeping pace with the changing landscape of modern networks. This is likely to have translated into incremental revenues in the quarter to be reported.
CommScope completed the divestiture of the Outdoor Wireless Networks and Distributed Antenna Systems businesses during the quarter. The proceeds of the sale were utilized to fully repay all outstanding amounts under CommScope’s asset-backed revolving credit facility. It also allowed CommScope to fully repay senior secured notes due 2026 and partially repay the senior secured notes due 2029. The divestiture enabled CommScope to increase its focus and further strengthen CommScope NEXT priorities with remaining segments and business units.
