Ribbon Communications reported a solid performance in Q3 2025 with a 2% year-over-year sales increase, driven by strong demand across its Cloud & Edge and IP Optical segments despite short-term disruptions from the U.S. federal government shutdown.

• Q3 sales rose 2% year-over-year, while year-to-date revenue increased by 6% and EBITDA expanded by 5%.
• Strong demand in the IP Optical Networks business propelled an 11% year-over-year growth, marked by significant projects in Europe and the Middle East.
• New product launch of Acumen, a powerful AIOps automation platform, garners strong customer interest, with notable partnerships including Altice-owned Optimum and IBM.
• Enterprise sales declined by 3% due to reduced government demand, but overall enterprise sales grew nearly 7% when excluding U.S. government customers.
• Despite government-related delays, bookings momentum remains positive, with over $30 million in new orders received recently.
