HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 12, 2016-- ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN) reported results for the first quarter 2016. For the quarter, sales were $142,204,000 compared to $142,835,000 for the first quarter of 2015. Net income was $5,014,000 compared to $3,317,000 for the first quarter of 2015.

ADTRAN Chief Executive Officer Tom Stanton stated, “ADTRAN delivered a solid performance this quarter resulting in earnings coming in ahead of initial expectations. Compared to the same period last year, Q1 domestic revenue was up over 39% with increases in both our products and services businesses. Improved gross margins and lower operating expenses helped us increase operating income over 181% versus Q1 of 2015. Longer term, we expect further improvement in the carrier environment as customers accelerate investments in upgrading their network infrastructure to meet customer demand.”
