As a result of the upgraded guidance, the company said it has repaid $20 million of the $55 million from its revolving credit facility.
Extreme’s Chief Financial Officer, Remi Thomas said that “improving business trends and continued cost and expense control drove solid operating leverage, and in turn strong cash flow. This allowed us to repay $20 million of our $55 million revolving credit facility during the quarter and reduce our net debt by approximately $24 million sequentially .”
The increase was also put down to strong bookings trends and the simplicity of its products.
