“We achieved a solid fourth quarter, highlighted by record quarterly results for Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow,” said Daryl Raiford, CFO of Bandwidth. “For 2026, we expect approximately 16 percent revenue growth and 29 percent Adjusted EBITDA growth, reflecting continued acceleration in voice demand, expanding software services contribution, and continued operating leverage. This outlook supports a balanced capital allocation approach: investing in growth while also returning capital to shareholders.”

- A major U.S. insurance group deployed Bandwidth to power a new cloud-based customer experience stack for claims and quoting, citing our AI-enabling capabilities, network reliability, and seamless integration with a complex Cisco environment.
- A top 10 U.S. bank serving millions of customers selected Bandwidth’s resilient toll-free solution to modernize and protect its contact center infrastructure, driven by our differentiated failover architecture, open integration strategy, and strong customer support.
- A top-five global automaker’s U.S. consumer financing arm selected Bandwidth, to power AI-enabled communications for its Genesys contact center, gaining greater flexibility and cost savings to support investment in new Genesys AI services.
- A high-growth e-commerce platform supporting time-sensitive messaging for leading consumer brands chose Bandwidth for its consistent deliverability, scalable capacity, and reliable performance during peak retail demand.

Financial Outlook
Bandwidth is providing guidance for its first quarter and full year 2026 as follows (in millions, except per share amounts) based on current indications for its business, which are subject to change.
|
1Q 2026 |
Full Year 2026 |
||
|
Revenue |
$200 – $203 |
$864 – $884 |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA |
$21 – $24 |
$117 – $123 |
|
|
Non-GAAP earnings per share (1) |
$0.30 – $0.32 |
$1.66 – $1.74 |
|
(1) Assumes weighted average diluted share count of approximately 34.2 million in 1Q 2026 and weighted average diluted share count of approximately 36.1 million in full year 2026. |
Bandwidth has not reconciled its first quarter and full year 2026 guidance related to Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income or loss and non-GAAP net earnings or loss to GAAP net earnings or loss and non-GAAP earnings or loss per share to GAAP earnings or loss per share, because stock-based compensation cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
Share Repurchase Program Authorization
Bandwidth today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $80 million of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock, subject to market conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors. The repurchases may be made from time to time at the discretion of management through open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans or other means.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, future financial and business performance for the quarter ending March 31, 2026 and year ending December 31, 2026, the success of our product offerings and our platform, and the value proposition of our products, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “guide,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions and their negatives are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks related to our rapid growth and ability to sustain our revenue growth rate, competition in the markets in which we operate, market growth, our ability to innovate and manage our growth, our ability to successfully leverage the use of artificial intelligence in our business operations and in our service offerings, our ability to expand effectively into new markets, macroeconomic conditions both in the U.S. and globally, legal, reputational and financial risks which may result from ever-evolving cybersecurity threats, our ability to operate in compliance with applicable laws, as well as other risks and uncertainties set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any subsequent reports that we file with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. We are under no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this press release to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, we provide investors with certain Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics, which we believe are helpful to our investors. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
The presentation of Non-GAAP financial information and other business metrics is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. While our Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time, we urge investors to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit after adding back depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation. We add back depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation because they are non-cash items. We eliminate the impact of these non-cash items, because we do not consider them indicative of our core operating performance. Their exclusion facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Therefore, we believe that showing gross margin, as adjusted to remove the impact of these non-cash expenses, is helpful to investors in assessing our gross profit and gross margin performance in a way that is similar to how management assesses our performance. We calculate Non-GAAP gross margin by dividing Non-GAAP gross profit by cloud communications revenue, which is revenue less pass-through messaging surcharges.
We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income or loss adjusted for certain items affecting period to period comparability. Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs for convertible debt, acquisition related expenses, impairment charges of intangibles assets, net cost associated with early lease terminations and leases without economic benefit, (gain) loss on sale of business, net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on business interruption insurance recoveries, non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other, and estimated tax impact of above adjustments, net of valuation allowances.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or losses from continuing operations, adjusted to reflect the addition or elimination of certain statement of operations items including, but not limited to: income tax (benefit) provision, interest (income) expense, net, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of intangible assets, (gain) loss on sale of business, net cost associated with early lease terminations and leases without economic benefit, net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on business interruption insurance recoveries, and non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of certain items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can produce a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business.
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less net cash used in the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and capitalized development costs for software for internal use. We believe free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity and provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our core operations that can be used for investing in our business. Free cash flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, it does not take into consideration investment in long-term securities, nor does it represent the residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate free cash flow along with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. While a reconciliation of Non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of these costs and expenses that we may incur in the future, we have provided a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics to the nearest comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial statement tables included in this press release.

(1) Non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other include (i) $0.2 million of foreign exchange charges primarily related to balance sheet revaluations during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, (ii) $0.6 million and $0.3 million of losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $0.9 million and $0.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, (iii) $0.5 million of nonrecurring litigation expense during the year ended December 31, 2025, (iv) $0.1 million of losses on the sale of business during the year ended December 31, 2025, and v) $1.0 million gain on the sale of an intangible asset during the year ended December 31, 2024. |

(2) The estimated tax-effect of adjustments is determined by recalculating the tax provision on a Non-GAAP basis. The Non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 19.0% and 18.1% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Non-GAAP effective income tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% in the U.S. primarily due to the research and development tax credits generated in 2025. We analyze the Non-GAAP valuation allowance position on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2025, we have no valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets for Non-GAAP purposes. |

|
(3) Non-GAAP net income is increased for interest expense as part of the calculation for diluted Non-GAAP earnings per share. |
