Can't hear.
Thank you, Maya, and thanks everyone for joining this important discussion about Ceragon's future, our business momentum, and our path to creating substantial value for Ceragon's shareholders. Today, we will cover Aviat's unsolicited indication of interest to acquire Ceragon and its efforts to take control of the Ceragon board. Today's presentation outlines, among other things, why Aviat's indication significantly undervalues Ceragon, is opportunistically timed and not in the best interests of our shareholders. We will also provide updated financial metrics that demonstrate our continued business momentum that underscore why Aviat's lowball indication and hostile takeover campaign are not in Ceragon's shareholders' interests. Before I get started, I'd like to turn the call over to Ilan Rosen, independent director of the Ceragon board, to provide some initial remarks. Ilan.
Thank you, Doron. Thank you to all those on the line for joining us today. I'm Ilan Rosen, an independent director on the Ceragon's board. I joined the board just over a year ago alongside two other independent directors, and I'm here to share the perspective of the board. By way of background, I currently serve as a managing director at Habufes Partners, a global private equity firm with a history of over forty years of investing. In both current and former private equity positions throughout my career, and in my capacity as a director in public company boards, I have extensive experience as an investor and shareholder in many companies, and I have helped negotiate transactions to sell, acquire, or merge a number of companies.
Over the past few weeks, the board and management team have been laser-focused on Ceragon's business and their opportunities ahead relative to Aviat's indication of interest. With the help of our independent advisors, we carefully viewed Aviat's indication of interest and proxy submission. We also spoke with a number of our shareholders and have gained valuable insight and perspective. You should be assured that Ceragon's board has carefully considered Aviat's indication of interest with the goal of maximizing shareholders' value. Let me be clear from the outset. The Ceragon board will explore any path that maximizes value for Ceragon shareholders. In fact, the company has met with and engaged constructively with Aviat many times through since 2017 to explore a potential combination and are willing to continue to do so, but at a price that delivers fair and certain value to Ceragon shareholders.
Indeed, when we last met only a month ago, Aviat agreed to send us a follow-up list of diligence items that we agreed to review. However, Aviat never sent us the list. Instead, they launched their hostile indication of interest on the day that happened to be the day that Doron's father passed away. I personally would like to thank Doron on behalf of the board for his steadfast stewardship of the company and for dealing with Aviat's hostile campaign during this sad and stressful time. In any event, it is troubling that Aviat launched its public campaign with the false misstatement that we were not willing to engage with them. We have met with them multiple times over the multiple years to explore a potential transaction.
Aviat appears to be trying to confuse shareholders into thinking that our refusal to do a bad transaction for Ceragon shareholders is a refusal to engage. Given the records of engagement, you can clearly see that both Aviat and Ceragon took a candid approach with the ultimate goal of obtaining the best value for their shareholders. We did this out of mutual respect between competitors, as well as the understanding that a hostile approach is not in the best interest of our shareholders. Unfortunately, this is not the case anymore. Aviat has just launched a series of inflammatory and misleading public attacks on Ceragon's and our board. They've also demanded that we call an extraordinary general meeting or EGM.
Aviat Networks intends to gain control of the board with director nominees handpicked by Aviat Networks, presumably to implement their highly conditional indication of interest to buy Ceragon at $280 per share, which is a material reduction from the proposed indication of valuation of $325 they presented a few short months ago. Your board firmly believes that Aviat Networks's hostile campaign, an attempt to take control of Ceragon, is not in the interest of Ceragon shareholders for several key reasons, and I will cover some of the highlights. First, we should be clear that there is no real offer on the table. Aviat Networks has submitted an indication of interest with a proposed $280 per share price. The indication of interest lacks firm financing commitment from reputable financing institutions.
The indication also lacks adequate provisions to protect Ceragon and its shareholders in the event Aviat walks away from a signed transaction, which is especially troubling when the indication comes from a competitor. In this turbulent financing market, it is perhaps not surprising that Aviat has not delivered evidence of financing, but the failure to do so demonstrates one of the many ways that Aviat's proposal isn't real. When we previously met with Aviat, we conveyed that we needed more certainty for our shareholders, which was important because if a transaction is terminated due to Aviat's failure to get financing or any other reason, it could result in substantial harm to our business and our shareholders.
To be clear, Aviat has significantly reduced the price that they were originally offering, failed to provide financing commitments from a reputable institution, and refused to provide a strong commitment to close the transaction by accepting an appropriate breakup fee. Not surprisingly, we were insistent on receiving these protections and greater value in order to proceed. In addition, their proposal significantly undervalues Ceragon across a variety of financial metrics and methodologies. As Doron will cover shortly, our business is growing rapidly, and our bookings and backlog are strong, our innovative products driving increased growth, especially in our highest margin territory, North America, where we have been increasingly taking market share in Aviat's backyard. Aviat launched its proposal at an opportunistic time.
Like many companies, our share price has come under pressure due to increased market volatility, prevailing global macroeconomic headwinds, and the ongoing supply chain issues that we are actively addressing. Aviat is also suggesting a price that is well below precedent transaction multiples and all research analyst price targets. As one of the top independent research analysts observed, Aviat has submitted a lowball offer. We agree with that analyst. It also should not be surprising that Joseph D. Samberg, founder and CEO of JDS Capital, our largest and independent shareholder that owns almost 10% of Ceragon shares, today announced his support for Ceragon management and board, that Aviat's indicative price is well below the company's value, and that he intends to vote for the company's board and against Aviat's request to remove any of our existing director..
Aviat is trying to steal the company at the lowest price possible. That may be the interest of Aviat's investors, but it is certainly not in the interest of Ceragon shareholders. So instead of offering full, fair, and certain value, Aviat wants to take control of Ceragon's board by putting its handpicked nominees in charge of the negotiations. This is perhaps why Aviat picked director nominees that have no telecom expertise. They also lack the appropriate board experience. Three of them have never served on a public company board, and one served on a board of a company that underperformed the market by more than 80% during his tenure. One would be classified as over-boarded by key constituencies if he were to join Ceragon's board. As our competitor, Aviat know the industry and the qualifications necessary for directorship well.
Given it has nominated individuals who are not fit to do this, we question if Aviat is merely seeking to take control of Ceragon to force an expedited sale to Aviat at a lowball price. Aviat wants you to believe that its nominees will be better advocates for Ceragon's shareholders than our current directors. We firmly believe that this is not the case. As a Ceragon shareholder, I would not want their nominees in charge of negotiations with Aviat, especially considering that Aviat could cut the offer again or attempt to enter into a highly conditional and uncertain transaction that could significantly harm Ceragon and our shareholders. Given their lack of relevant experience, Aviat's nominees are also ill-suited to oversee the implementation of our business and value creation strategy.
Perhaps more importantly, Aviat is calling the EGM in attempt to add five director nominees to Ceragon board, while simultaneously removing three existing directors in a way that explicitly violates Ceragon's articles of association. Under our shareholders approved articles, Aviat is able to propose the removal of three directors at the EGM, but is not permitted to propose the appointment of five new directors to our board at this EGM. We are calling an EGM in accordance with articles, but we urge Ceragon shareholders to reject Aviat's attempt to remove three highly qualified Ceragon directors and nominate up to three unqualified directors instead, which may lead to either accepting a lowball offer or internal value destruction.
The current Ceragon board is actively overseeing the successful execution of our strategy to enhance Ceragon's value creation potential and is holding management accountable for performance, as evidenced by our recent decision to appoint Doron as our CEO. Our board is independent and extremely well qualified to serve Ceragon shareholders, comprised of directors with significant industry and public company board experience and track records of successfully evaluating and executing public company M&A transactions. Our board is also diverse and continues to refresh itself. Just last year, the board welcomed three new independent directors, including myself, and our appointments were overwhelmingly approved by our shareholders at the 2021 annual meeting. We remain open to evaluating all strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value and believe our board has the right mix of relevant skills to and expertise to ensure Ceragon shareholders' best interests are at the forefront.
Moreover, we remain open-minded and believe a transaction could make sense under the right circumstances and at the right price. We are extremely focused on doing right by our shareholders, and as such, we will not enter into a transaction at a lowball price and without adequate protections. Ceragon has been gaining significant business momentum, though we are open-eyed that there are also potential challenges. That said, we are excited about our future and are confident in our strategy. With that said, I'll turn it back to Doron to talk more about our business and the exciting initiatives underway. Doron?
Thanks, Ilan. Before jumping into Ceragon's exciting business momentum, first, I'd like to reiterate a few crucial points that Ilan just raised about the board's concerns with regard to Aviat's unsolicited indication and proxy contest. To reiterate, Aviat's offer is merely indicative. Not only has Aviat not presented a firm offer to acquire Ceragon, it has also not presented any firm commitments from reputable financing sources to effectively execute a transaction. With today's volatile financial markets, we question whether they can even obtain financing for their proposed transaction. Aviat also wants to enter into an agreement without adequate protections that would protect Ceragon and its shareholders from damage that Aviat could impose on Ceragon, a key competitor, if Aviat walks away from a transaction after it is signed.
Finally, given that Aviat has already significantly reduced the value of its November 2021 indication, we believe Ceragon's shareholders should not bear the risk of Aviat's future attempts to undercut value or terminate a transaction. Aviat's indication significantly undervalues Ceragon across a variety of financial metrics and methodologies, which represents a significant discount to all analyst price targets and multiples paid in precedent transactions. It seems clear that Aviat has timed its public campaign in the midst of the current macroeconomic environment to take advantage of the deterioration of the financial markets. Since Aviat's indication of interest, multiple third-party research analysts have published reports reinforcing our belief that Aviat's indication of interest is a lowball offer that fails to reflect the strength of our business and our future growth prospects.
In addition, our largest independent shareholder, JDS Capital, has publicly announced its support for the Ceragon board and management team and its intention to vote against Aviat's request to remove any of Ceragon's existing directors. We have met with Aviat many times to evaluate a potential transaction, and we remain open to continuing that dialogue in a productive manner. A combination would only have merit if it delivered full, fair, and certain value to Ceragon shareholders. What is Aviat's motivation in all this? It seems clear that Aviat is concerned by Ceragon's growth in North America, as well as our technological superiority today with tier one service providers and in the coming years with our cost-effective products and our next-gen System on a Chip, which is ahead of the competition by at least three years.
Aviat, instead of competing with us in the market, is focused on a short-term agenda to either buy Ceragon at a cheap price or eliminate Ceragon as a threatening competitor, which is growing organically in the North American market. Aviat recognizes that we have substantial business momentum and superior technological capabilities. Let me outline where Ceragon is today, how we envision our business going forward, and why we think Ceragon is substantially more valuable to shareholders than Aviat's indicative price of $2.80. Ceragon is a global market leader of wireless transport solutions with a strong foundational core business. We are poised to benefit from strong underlying growth trends in the industry, including a substantial pickup in global 5G adoption, growth in millimeter wave and fixed wireless broadband, and growth of private networks in multiple domains.
We believe that our positioning as the best-in-class provider of microwave and millimeter wave technologies, as well as a leader in the new disaggregated open networks market, will drive shareholders value. What sets us apart is our innovative technology proven by multiple generations of radio and modem chips, superior product performance and reliability, and our continued effort to optimize product costs that make our offerings competitive around the world. We are capitalizing on our strengths while also evaluating our products to see how we can continue to innovate as the industry evolves. That focus has resulted in our creation of chips comprised of our unique multi-core technology systems that are best fit for outdoor network solutions and software that helps power open networks in the wireless transport domain. Together, this is driving penetration of global tier one and tier two telecom customers. We have significant momentum across our business.
In the first half of 2022, Ceragon generated bookings of $179 million. In addition, our North America business achieved $39 million of bookings in the first half of this year, driven by recent wins with large customers, including DISH and the final stages of a fronthaul solution lab trial for a top three national wireless carrier. For the first time, North America, which is Aviat's home market, now represents the largest region for Ceragon, tied with India. In the second quarter, our bookings in North America represented 26% of our total bookings and grew 37% versus the first quarter. Meanwhile, our backlog across the globe continues to grow. As a result, we have experienced substantial gains in market share, particularly at the high end of the market.
According to our estimations, Ceragon now makes up approximately 25% of the market for best of breed solutions, the larger and faster growing segment. This is more than three times Aviat's market share. Even when looking at the whole market, Ceragon is shipping and selling more than three times the number of transceivers than Aviat does. We're also beginning to see signals of success in our new strategy to capitalize on the growth of private networks and rural broadband with some recent wins. As you can see from our business momentum, we have been hard at work executing on our strategic plan that we believe will translate to meaningful shareholder value. In addition to the continued strength of our core business, we have been implementing since the beginning of this year a few new initiatives to drive significant recurring revenue growth and margin expansion.
First, we expect to continue to grow in North America. Ceragon has become the number one wireless transport vendor in North America for tier one operators, and we expect to increase our growth among tier one operators as part of broader 5G adoption. In addition, increased infrastructure in rural broadband is expected to drive Ceragon's growth among small carriers, private networks, and wireless broadband providers in multiple domains. We expect to continue growing in North America with additional market share, which will contribute to enhanced margins. Second, we have been strengthening our managed services offering to deepen our relationship with our customers and increase our recurring revenues. This offering has garnered considerable attention from operators, private networks, and carriers around the world, and is an important growth area for us that we expect we will serve as a new recurring revenue stream.
We have achieved bookings of about $8 million in the first half of 2022, which is already 40% higher than our managed services booking for the full year of 2021. Further, we expect our growing software tools business will see continued growth via direct sales or as tools for the managed services business. We expect those new software tools will also drive enhanced margins and recurring revenue as we take market share. Third, as part of the evolution of Open Networks architecture, disaggregated cell site routing is a rapidly growing market that is expected to grow to $400 million over the next few years. We see an opening to disrupt the space with our new IP-50FX product, which help us leverage the disruptive and fast-growing Open Network trend.
While the market has just begun to take off, we have already booked 216 units with average gross margins in excess of our overall margins. Our technology development capabilities are a key differentiator between Ceragon and our competitors. Our ability to develop cutting-edge product in-house is rooted in our strong, innovative culture and continuous investment in technological innovation. For example, we are the first to bring a virtual indoor unit to market that, as already discussed, can also serve as a cell site router. This unit has demonstrated all elements of an Open Networks, including radio units, software operating system and network unit, and networking units fully aggregated and integrated as part of a true open transport and Open Networks architecture. We just launched these products in February and have already begun to see strong customer traction with significant orders received during the first half of the year.
We are also enhancing our suite of revolutionary IP-50 products using our new radio chip developed by Ceragon. These products are expected to be launched in 2023 and are expected to reduce bill of materials costs by approximately 40%, 40, allowing us to gain market share and drive higher margins. Further, we believe that our system on a chip, our fifth- generation chipset, is three years ahead of development compared to the market's technology. We expect our system on a chip to save significant costs, deliver enhanced performance, and because it is developed in-house, will be a key competitive advantage for years to come. We shouldn't be confused by Aviat Networks' recent statements. The phenomena of competitors and merchant chip manufacturers introducing high-level concepts of next-generation chip while we are finalizing the productization of our next-generation chip is not new to us.
This has been the case for many years, as not all companies at this phase start developing the next generation products at the same time. Our past experience makes clear that being first to market with new chip technology is extremely important to our customers. In addition, I feel comfortable in saying that the initial analysis of our R&D team, based on the specifications of the chip provided by Aviat, indicates that Ceragon's System on a Chip will have many advantages. Together with our new radio chips, we expect our products will have better performance. We strongly believe that our strategy of developing chip in-house allows to us to create better products with superior technology ahead of competition. This focus on organic innovation has positioned Ceragon to become a global market leader in an industry of giants, while other specialists that outsource chips development have fallen behind.
Before turning over to our financial targets, I'd like to comment briefly about the current business climate. The recent disruption to the supply chain has adversely impacted our financial performance and was a major contributor, in addition to the downturn in the financial markets, to our negative stock price performance. While this seems to be temporary headwinds and are industry-wide impacting our peers as well, they have resulted in a significant slowdown in our backlog conversion into revenue and an approximately 4% reduction in gross margins. Despite these challenges, the vast majority of our customers are patient and accommodating, which attests to our strong position and brand. However, we are clearly not standing still.
We have been implementing a series of offsetting actions aimed to improve our backlog conversion into revenue and enhance margins, including improving contractual terms with our partners, re-redesigning our products and subsystems to reduce production costs, replacing one of our contract manufacturers, dedicating teams to forecast and manage component shortages, and streamlining shipment process with the addition of new vendors. It will, of course, take a little time until we start seeing the results, but I'm confident that all these actions will contribute to our financial performance. We're excited about the momentum that we are seeing across the business. We believe that our core business, coupled with the continued implementation of our growth initiatives, will drive revenue growth, margin expansion, and significant shareholder value. Our short-term guidance and long-term targets reflect our confidence in this strategy.
We are reaffirming our 2022 revenue guidance of $300 million-$350 million, and we are issuing 2023 revenue guidance of $325 million-$345 million. Our guidance is, of course, subject to potential downsides and upsides as we continue to address supply chain challenges facing the industry. Our 5-year revenue target is approximately $500 million, and we also target increasing our gross margins to at least 34%-36% over the same period. Given our ongoing initiatives and the many near-term growth drivers, I hope we will see the significant value potential that lies ahead for Ceragon. This potential value, we believe, is far greater than $2.80 per share indication of interest from Aviat.
With that, I'd like to turn it back over to Ilan to give some concluding remarks. Ilan?
Here is what is at stake in the decision in front of shareholders. Do you want to risk the value of your investment at a time when Ceragon is at such an important inflection point by supporting Aviat's hostile campaign? Do you believe that Aviat, a main competitor, is proposing changes to Ceragon's board to maximize shareholders' value in your interest? Or do they have different plans? In stark contrast to Aviat's director nominees, our board is comprised of leaders with substantial telecom and M&A experience and track records of delivering shareholders' value. Our board is diverse and continues to refresh itself, including the addition of three independent directors at the last AGM. We are not against additional board refreshment with qualified candidates. However, Ceragon risks losing important board expertise and diversity if Aviat's nominees are elected.
Aviat's nominees would leave Ceragon with a weak, inexperienced board that we believe will not be able to effectively oversee the company's value-enhancing strategy or potential negotiations with Aviat. We recognize that there is work to be done, but you should know that we are 100% focused on executing our strategy and delivering our commitments. I speak on behalf of the entire board and management team when I say we are deeply committed to creating value to our shareholders. We look forward to maintaining an open and active dialogue with our shareholders in the days and weeks ahead. Thank you.
Thank you, Ilan. Now, let us open the call up to some Q&A.
Thank you. As a reminder, in order to ask a question, please raise your hand using your mobile or desktop application and wait for your name to be announced. Once your name is announced, you will be prompted to unmute. Our first question today comes from the line of Alex Henderson from Needham. Please go ahead.
Great. Thank you very much. I was hoping you could talk, or just to clarify the data on, that you threw out on the, U.S., penetration. Clearly the growth rate sequentially is quite substantial, Q1 to Q2. If you were to look at the first half versus the first half of last year, which I think is more of a standard calculus, can you demonstrate the performance on a year-over-year basis, 1H to 1H, which I think is a more meaningful statistic given the lumpiness of the business?
First of all, I will comment on that, and we are talking about more than 15% increase year-over-year. I would be very careful in saying that the seasonality is some sort of indication for the annual growth. We are seeing a huge effort to accelerate the 5G rollout in the U.S., and therefore, I don't know, things could even accelerate further down the road.
Yeah. Just going back to that same discussion, you've also penetrated those Tier 1s in the US on the service side. How important is that, and how long will it take for the service business to grow into a scale that will drive profitability? I think that's an upfront income statement investment in that context.
Yeah, Alex, I fully agree with you. We're seeing a lot of traction, and now we have some more opportunities ahead of us, and I'm optimistic that this business will become reasonably profitable in 2023.
Just going back to the M&A side of it for a second. Do we have a schedule on when this board of directors' vote will take place? You know, is it, is the question that's going to be asked only replacing three, and not offering up the potential for five? Just to be clear, on that critical point, relative to the mechanics. I know you're saying that they don't have the right to nominate five, but only replace, you know, the three. Can you be a little bit clearer on exactly the mechanics there? That's a critical issue.
Yeah, sure. Our articles of association suggests that they can only nominate the vacant positions, and if they will decide and be successful in removing three, they will be able to nominate only three. Just to clarify, the situation is even slightly more complex. If the board doesn't go below five directors, they will not even be able to nominate other vacancies, not in an EGM. Now, in terms of the schedule, obviously, it's already there with the proxy, and the EGM is scheduled for August 23.
Very helpful. Thank you very much. Thanks for the forward-looking outlook commentary.
Thank you. Our next question is the line from George Iwanyc from Oppenheimer. Please go ahead.
Thank you for taking my question. Ilan, maybe I'd start with you and, you know, if you could share your perspective as independent board member on the M&A interactions between the two companies over the last six months and, you know, your puts and takes from a combined company versus Ceragon remaining independent from a competitive perspective.
This is something that we will discuss in behind closed doors. I don't think that at this point it is appropriate to comment on these discussions. I think that we said more than what we should have said. In previous periods, there was a tough but a very fair discussion between the companies with a lot of respect. This is not the case now, and I will not be willing to elaborate more on this point.
All right. Doron, thank you for that. Maybe then if you can give us some perspective on the FY 2023 guidance, or the targets that you set with respect to how much of that is just supply chain improvement, that if you're able to start delivering in a normal fashion, and how much of that is the new initiatives. When you roll that out to the five-year plan, you know, how much of the new efforts are embedded in that type of target?
Obviously, you know, we are not dreamers. We understand that it takes time for these kind of initiatives that are not, I would say, in the DNA of the company yet to ramp up and to contribute. Obviously the longer term projections are more fueled by the new initiatives. We will see significant growth year-over-year in these new initiatives if we look at 2023 versus 2022. I would say that 2023 is primarily built on a more I would say favorable circumstances in the supply chain and component shortages issues.
Just one more question from me. Doron, you shared a you know good amount of confidence that your chipset development will put you well ahead of competition there. I would guess that you have had the opportunity to vet out the merchant market as far as chipsets. Can you kinda give us a little bit more perspective on what is available out there right now? When you think about you know 5G development you know where your leverage will be?
Yeah. First of all, we are talking, actually to all the stakeholders in this particular industry, whether they are merchant chip manufacturers or competitors, and we have a very fruitful dialogue. I think that we are definitely way ahead of the merchant chip industry as well as the competition. The only caveat is that I don't know what Huawei is doing. That would be the only caveat. This is why, after analyzing the timelines that we are aware of, due to our vast experience of five generations of chip development and the information that we have gathered from the market, we believe that we are ahead of the market by at least three years.
Thank you.
In terms of contribution to the 5G, it's very important to put some emphasis that you know, I'm not sure Aviat was pointing out. The chip is very important. Obviously, the fact that you have the chip and you are developing the chip in-house is enable you to customize the needs and also to integrate this technology with the other technology of a radio chip in the best way possible. It's like, you know, connecting an engine with a gear. If there is a very, very good integration between the engine and a gear, probably the car will be able to move faster. That's the story.
This is our strategy, and this is why we believe that with our next generation chip, we will most probably provide with the very strong radio to the market. I'm not underestimating my competition. I'm sure that they will do good work and will be able to generate strong radios as well. I'm not going to say out loud that we have the strongest radio in the industry.
All right. Thank you.
Thank you, George. You have no further questions. Please proceed.
Thank you so much for joining this very important call. Obviously, in the coming weeks and months, we will continue our regular dialogue with our shareholders, and we'll provide as much input as we can to support you shareholders in your decisions.
Thank you. That does conclude our call for today. You may disconnect. Enjoy the rest of your day.
