ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN) reported results for the third quarter 2016. For the quarter, sales were $168,890,000 compared to $158,078,000 for the third quarter of 2015. Net income was $12,415,000 compared to $7,067,000 for the third quarter of 2015. Earnings per share, assuming dilution, were $0.26 compared to $0.14 for the third quarter of 2015.

The reconciliation between GAAP earnings per share, diluted, and non-GAAP earnings per share, diluted, is in the table provided.

ADTRAN Chief Executive Officer Tom Stanton stated, “Our revenue performance for the quarter exceeded expectations with total revenue increasing 7% over the same period last year. I am particularly pleased to see our international business grow 42 percent over the previous quarter and 7 percent year-over-year, driven by stronger broadband access sales in Europe. I am also pleased with the continued growth in our services business which increased 35 percent over the previous quarter and grew 63 percent year-over-year as we execute on our leading market position in CAF II and vectoring solutions and services. We continue to believe that ADTRAN's ability to help service providers grow revenue, reduce costs, accelerate buildout and transition to a software-defined access network is proving to be a catalyst for change within the industry."

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2016. The quarterly cash dividend is $0.09 per common share to be paid to holders of record at the close of business on November 3, 2016.
