PART III – NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within the prescribed time period for the reasons set forth below.
As disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 13, 2025 (the “Form 8‑K”), which is incorporated herein by reference, the Company intends to restate its (i) consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) and December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025, and (ii) unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the interim periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 (the “2024 Interim Periods”) included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024, August 9, 2024, and November 12, 2024, respectively. In addition, the Form 8-K disclosed that the Company’s management is evaluating the impact of this matter on its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 and has identified at least one additional material weakness. Management had previously determined that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2022 and all subsequent periods due to material weaknesses that were previously disclosed, which continues to be the case. The Company plans to restate, as soon as practicable, such financial statements (the “Restatements”).
The Company does not expect the Restatements to set forth material changes to the financial information presented in the Preliminary Earnings Release, which was attached as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K furnished by the Company to the SEC on May 8, 2025 (the “Preliminary Earnings Release”).
In connection with the foregoing, the Company needs additional time to prepare the Restatements and file the Q1 Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Q1 Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date for such periodic report. The Company is working diligently towards the goal of finalizing the Restatements and the Q1 Form 10-Q and intends to file the Restatements and Q1 Form 10-Q within the extension period provided under Rule 12b-25.

On May 7, 2025, the Company issued the Preliminary Earnings Release. The Preliminary Earnings Release disclosed the expected impact associated with adjustments to the Company’s financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and Fiscal 2024 and included selected preliminary financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The restated financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 may reflect additional immaterial errors. |
