CLAREMONT, NC, October 30, 2025 — CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network connectivity solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“We are pleased with our outstanding results in the third quarter. All businesses continue to deliver strong results as we take advantage of strong market conditions and deliver against our strategic initiatives. CommScope net sales of $1.63 billion increased 50.6% from the prior year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $402 million, a strong improvement of 97% year-over-year, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of adjusted EBITDA growth. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues was 24.7%, compared to 18.9% in the prior year, a year-over-year improvement of 580 basis points. The performance is a testament to our focus on what we can control and our team

implementing that strategic focus. We are well positioned as we move into the fourth quarter and are raising our 2025 consolidated adjusted EBITDA guideposts to $1.30 to $1.35 billion as well as raising our RemainCo adjusted EBITDA guidance to $350 to $375 million,” said Chuck Treadway, President and Chief Executive Officer.

We now expect our CCS deal to close in the first quarter of 2026. When the deal closes, we plan to repay all existing debt, redeem our preferred equity and add modest new leverage to the remaining company. This will generate significant excess cash, and we expect to distribute a substantial portion of such excess cash to our common shareholders as a special dividend within 60 to 90 days following the closing of the transaction. The exact amount of the special dividend will be determined after the CCS closing, taking into account all relevant factors at the time.

“We are extremely happy with our strong cash flow generation. During the quarter, we increased our cash balance by $134 million and ended the quarter with $705 million of cash. As evidenced by the third quarter results in ANS and RUCKUS, we are excited about the future of the remaining company. On a twelve-month trailing basis, ANS and RUCKUS Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $344 million, an increase of 135% versus the previous twelve-month period,” said Kyle Lorentzen, Chief Financial Officer.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CommScope management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. CommScope management further believes that these financial measures are useful in assessing CommScope’s operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. CommScope management also uses certain of these financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring CommScope’s performance relative to that of its competitors. CommScope management believes these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate CommScope’s performance and that of its competitors. However, CommScope’s use of certain non-GAAP terms may vary from that of others in its industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity. A reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures discussed herein to their most comparable GAAP measures is below.

RemainCo Financial Measures

RemainCo financial measures are the aggregate of the RUCKUS and Access Network Solutions segments. They do not include the results of the Connectivity and Cable Solutions (CCS) segment. RemainCo financial measures also exclude general corporate costs that were previously allocated to the Outdoor Wireless Networks (OWN) segment and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) business unit, since these costs were not directly attributable to these discontinued operations. The RemainCo segments and the CCS segment represent the business segments as currently managed and reported by CommScope. Future results and the composition of any business divested in the future may vary and differ materially from the presentation of the RemainCo financial measures.
