Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2026.

“Keysight delivered the strongest quarter in the company’s history, capping a record first half with all-time highs in orders, revenue, EPS, and free cash flow,” said Satish Dhanasekaran, President and CEO of Keysight. “The disciplined decisions and strategic investments we have made over the past several years are enabling us to capitalize on accelerating demand and outperform. With strong year-to-date momentum and a robust pipeline of opportunities, we are raising our expectations for fiscal 2026.”

Second Quarter Financial Summary

Revenue was $1.72 billion, compared with $1.31 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
GAAP net income was $349 million, or $2.02 per share, compared with $257 million, or $1.49 per share, in the second quarter of 2025.
Non-GAAP net income was $497 million, or $2.87 per share, compared with $295 million, or $1.70 per share in the second quarter of 2025.

Reporting Segments

Communications Solutions Group (CSG)

CSG reported revenue of $1,231 million in the second quarter, up 35 percent from the prior year, reflecting 40 percent growth in commercial communications and 24 percent growth in aerospace, defense, and government.

Electronic Industrial Solutions Group (EISG)

EISG reported revenue of $486 million in the second quarter, up 24 percent from the prior year, reflecting double-digit growth across all end markets of automotive and energy, general electronics, and semiconductor.

IEEPA Tariff Refund Claim

In February 2026, the United States Supreme Court determined that certain tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were not authorized by law. Subsequent rulings by the United States Court of International Trade have directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to establish processes to effect refunds of certain tariffs previously collected. Based on these judicial determinations, for the quarter ended April 30, 2026, the Company recorded a receivable of $100 million within “other current assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, representing recovery of tariffs previously paid and statutory interest on IEEPA tariff refunds, with corresponding offsets of $93 million to “cost of sales”, $4 million to “selling, general and administrative expenses”, and $3 million to “interest income” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the Company recorded a $40 million liability within “other accrued liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet representing the refund of tariff surcharge collected from customers, with a corresponding reduction of revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Outlook

Keysight’s third fiscal quarter of 2026 revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.730 billion to $1.750 billion. The mid-point of the revenue range represents year-over-year growth of approximately 29%. Non-GAAP earnings per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2026 are expected to be in the range of $2.43 to $2.49, based on a weighted diluted share count of approximately 173 million shares. Certain items impacting the GAAP tax rate pertain to future events and are not currently estimable with a reasonable degree of accuracy; therefore, no reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to non-GAAP has been provided. Further information is discussed in the section titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to analyze and assess the overall performance of the business, to make operating decisions and to forecast and plan for future periods. We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes of management” in addition to seeing our GAAP results. This information enhances investors’ understanding of the continuing performance of our business and facilitates comparison of performance to our historical and future periods.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, including industry peer companies, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The discussion below presents information about each of the non-GAAP financial measures and the company’s reasons for including or excluding certain categories of income or expenses from our non-GAAP results. In future periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, adjustments for these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

Core Revenue/ Margin excludes the impact of foreign currency changes and revenue/ expenses associated with acquisitions or divestitures completed within the last twelve months. We exclude from the current period the impact of foreign currency changes as currency rates can fluctuate based on factors outside our control and may obscure underlying growth trends. To determine this impact, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective prior periods. Given the nature, size and number of acquisitions can vary significantly from period to period and as compared to our peers, we also exclude revenue/ expenses associated with recently acquired businesses to facilitate comparisons of growth and analysis of underlying business trends.

Percentages and period over period changes are calculated using underlying unrounded values and may not precisely reconcile to the rounded figures presented.

Free cash flow includes cash provided by operating activities adjusted for net investments in property, plant & equipment.

Non-GAAP Income from Operations, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS may include the following types of adjustments:

	Acquisition-related Items: We exclude the impact of certain items recorded in connection with business combinations from our non-GAAP financial measures that are either non-cash or not normal, recurring operating expenses due to their nature, variability of amounts and lack of predictability as to occurrence or timing. These amounts may include non-cash items such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and amortization of items associated with fair value purchase accounting adjustments. We also exclude other acquisition and integration costs associated with business acquisitions that are not normal recurring operating expenses, including gain/loss on foreign exchange contracts and legal, accounting and due diligence costs. We exclude these charges to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
	Share-based Compensation Expense: We exclude share-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP financial measures as it is primarily a non-cash charge and can vary significantly from period to period based on the company’s share price, as well as the timing, size and nature of equity awards granted. Management believes the exclusion of this expense facilitates the ability of investors to compare the company’s operating results with those of other companies, many of which also exclude share-based compensation expense in determining their non-GAAP financial measures.
	Restructuring and others: We exclude incremental expenses associated with restructuring initiatives including those of acquired entities, usually aimed at material changes in the business or cost structure. Such costs may include employee separation costs, asset impairments, facility-related costs, contract termination fees, and costs to move operations from one location to another. These activities can vary significantly from period to period based on the timing, size and nature of restructuring plans; therefore, we do not consider such costs to be normal, recurring operating expenses. We also exclude “others,” not normal, recurring, cash operating income/expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures. Such items are evaluated on an individual basis, based on both quantitative and qualitative factors and generally represent items that we do not anticipate occurring as part of our normal business. While not all-inclusive, examples of such items would include significant non-recurring events like realized gains or losses associated with our employee benefit plans, costs and recoveries related to unusual events, gain on sale of assets/divestitures, adjustment attributable to non-controlling interest, etc. We believe that these costs do not reflect expected future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s current operating performance or comparisons to our operating performance in other periods.
	Net gains/losses on investments: We also exclude net gains and losses on equity investments, which primarily represent profits or losses recognized from changes in the fair value and/or sale of equity securities. Such fluctuations are driven by market conditions and factors beyond our control and are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results.
	Estimated Tax Rate: We utilize a consistent methodology for long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate. When projecting this long-term rate, we exclude any tax benefits or expenses that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Additionally, we evaluate our current long-term projections, current tax structure and other factors, such as existing tax positions in various jurisdictions and key tax holidays in major jurisdictions where Keysight operates. This tax rate could change in the future for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to significant changes in geographic earnings mix including acquisition activity, or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions where Keysight operates. The above reasons also limit our ability to reasonably estimate the future GAAP tax rate and provide a reconciliation of the expected non-GAAP earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 to the GAAP equivalent.

Management recognizes these items can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements, including our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, portray those effects. Although we believe it is useful for investors to see core performance free of special items, investors should understand that the excluded costs are actual expenses that may impact the cash available to us for other uses. To gain a complete picture of all effects on the company’s profit and loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures focus instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the company’s performance.
