Q1 2022 including EUR 0.5 million and Q4 2021 including EUR 1.6 million extraordinary expenses.
Q1 2022 IFRS financial results
Revenues in Q1 2022 reached EUR 170.5 million, up by 8.1% from EUR 157.7 million in Q4 2021, also considerably up by 18.0% compared to EUR 144.5 million in Q1 2021. The increase in revenues for Q1 2022 is predominantly driven by a growth in demand from communication service providers (CSPs) and internet content providers (ICPs).
Pro forma gross profit in Q1 2022 decreased by 4.8%, reaching EUR 53.4 million (31.3% of revenues) compared to EUR 56.1 million (35.6% of revenues) in Q4 2021 and decreased by 3.5% compared to EUR 55.3 million (38.3% of revenues) reported in Q1 2021. The reduction in gross profit in relation to revenues is mainly attributable to increased purchasing costs due to the semiconductor crisis and a stronger US Dollar.
Pro forma EBIT for Q1 2022 was EUR 7.8 million (4.6% of revenues) and decreased by 45.6% compared to EUR 14.4 million (9.1% of revenues) reported in Q4 2021 and declined by 39.3% from EUR 12.9 million (8.9% of revenues) in Q1 2021.
Operating income for Q1 2022 of EUR 6.0 million decreased by 46.6% from EUR 11.2 million reported for Q4 2021 and decreased by 48.4% from EUR 11.6 million in Q1 2021. Operating income for Q1 2022 was impacted by extraordinary expenses in connection with the announced merger with Adtran, amounting to EUR 0.5 million (Q4 2021: EUR 1.6 million and Q1 2021: EUR 0).
Net income reached EUR 6.2 million in Q1 2022 and significantly decreased by 64.7% from EUR 17.5 million in Q4 2021 and decreased by 45.0% from EUR 11.2 million in Q1 2021.
The company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled EUR 73.0 million, representing a significant decrease of EUR 36.0 million compared to EUR 109.0 million at the end of Q4 2021. Year-over-year cash and cash equivalents decreased by EUR 6.1 million from EUR 79.1 million at the end of Q1 2021. The company invested non-operating cash in measures to secure delivery.
Net cash at the end of Q1 2022 stood at EUR 0.8 million compared to a net cash position of EUR 36.2 million at the end of Q4 2021 and a net debt position of EUR 10.6 million at the end of Q1 2021.
At quarter-end, net working capital totaled EUR 164.4 million and increased by EUR 35.4 million compared to EUR 129.0 million at the end of Q4 2021 and increased by EUR 38.6 million compared to EUR 125.8 million at the end of Q1 2021. The higher net working capital compared to the year-ago quarter is mainly attributable to increased inventory levels to secure the supply chain.
Management commentary
“We have good momentum and started well in this new business year. The expansion of communications networks is progressing rapidly and is fueled by public funding programs in many regions and countries. This environment should continue to positively impact demand for our products for the foreseeable future,” said Brian Protiva, CEO of ADVA. “Our investments in innovation in recent years have provided us with an outstanding, differentiated portfolio of solutions with which we will gain market share. The transformation of our business towards growth markets with a higher proportion of software and services and more verticalization is progressing well. In addition, the merger with Adtran will open up completely new opportunities for us in the USA, Europe and the global market.”
“Considering the extremely difficult external conditions, the past quarter was a strong start to the new 2022 financial year. We were able to increase our revenues by an exceptional 18% compared to the year-ago quarter; unfortunately, however, our success was limited by the ongoing semiconductor crisis. We certainly feel the, in parts, extreme cost increase of components as well as the global inflation in general. Nevertheless, we were able to achieve comparatively good profitability with a pro forma EBIT margin of 4.6%,” commented Uli Dopfer, CFO of ADVA. “Our exceptional solid balance sheet has enabled us to invest non-operating cash in our inventories, securing the supply chain. Further component shortages and higher costs are expected as the year progresses. However, we are confident that we also will master this challenge well.
2022 financial outlook
For the fiscal year 2022, ADVA expects revenues to be in the range of EUR 650 million and 700 million and a pro forma EBIT of between 6.0% and 10.0% of revenues.
The company will publish its financial results for Q2 2022 on July 28, 2022.

Accertify's Q2 Global Air Travel Fraud Report Finds Fraud Pressure Intensifying Across Middle East and Africa15.7.2026 13:00:00 CEST | Press release
Analysis of nearly 133 million airline booking transactions finds bookings departing from Cairo carried the world's highest fraud rate this quarter, while departure cities across the United States and Australia posted among the lowest fraud rates Accertify, a leading fraud decisioning provider whose Predictive Yes Platform helps merchants say yes to more good customers, more revenue, and more growth, today announced the release of its Global Air Travel Fraud Report: Q2 2026, a quarterly analysis examining how fraud pressure varies across global airline markets based on departure city at time of booking. Based on analysis of 132.9 million airline booking transactions processed between April and June 2026, the report evaluates prevented fraud rates across 537 departure cities that each processed at least 10,000 transactions during the quarter, providing airlines with a data-driven view of where Accertify's Predictive Yes platform intervened most frequently at booking. The Q2 findings rev
Forrester’s 2027 Budget Planning Guides: After A Year Of Caution, Business And Tech Leaders Are Ready To Invest Again15.7.2026 11:00:00 CEST | Press release
While leaders are betting on growth, in the age of AI, spending more is no longer enough According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2027 Budget Planning Guides, business and technology leaders are approaching 2027 with renewed confidence as they increasingly accept volatility as a permanent feature of the business environment. After a year of more cautious spending, more than 80% of leaders expect their budgets to increase over the next 12 months, with as many as one-quarter anticipating growth of 10% or more. But planning in the age of AI demands more than bigger budgets: Increasing investment without modernizing operating models, strengthening data foundations, and improving AI readiness will only accelerate fragmented data, duplicated work, and technical debt. To realize AI’s full potential, leaders must rethink their strategies and prioritize investments in operational foundations, governance, and experimentation that drive tangible outcomes. This year, optimism is widespread across f
Post-Quantum’s Algorithm - Classic McEliece - Achieves Global ISO Standardization to Protect the World From Quantum Cyber Attack15.7.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release
Ultra-secure encryption algorithm added to ISO standard for Asymmetric Ciphers Classic McEliece is first PQC algorithm to achieve global standardization Organisations in 177 ISO member states can now adopt Classic McEliece to remain secure from attack by both classical and quantum computers Governments including Germany and the Netherlands already recommend the highly secure Classic McEliece algorithm due to its unmatched security credentials It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges it is known that adversaries are stealing encrypted data now, which can be decrypted later - also known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL). Google’s recent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise Shor’s algorithm reduces the number of physical qubits required to break today’s encryption, therefor
Thredd Joins The Visa Agentic Ready Programme, Bringing Agent Network Readiness To Issuers Across Europe, Starting With Zilch15.7.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Press release
Thredd, the AI-first issuer processing platform, today announced it has joined the Visa Agentic Ready programme, enabling issuers across Europe to participate in agent-initiated payments without rebuilding their payments infrastructure. Consumer payments platform Zilch will be among the first issuers on the platform to enable agent-initiated payments for its cardholders. As a processor and enabler, Thredd sits at the trust layer of the payments ecosystem. By joining the programme, Thredd is ready to support Visa and its clients as the market moves into agentic commerce. Agentic commerce introduces a new type of payment initiator: An AI agent acting on a cardholder's behalf. The core payments principles do not change. Cardholder permission, issuer approval, authentication and fraud monitoring all still apply. What changes is how trust is established and enforced at the point an agent transacts. Taking a Zilch customer as an example, a cardholder might ask an AI agent to find a product w
