Finisar Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwired - December 04, 2014) - Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optic communications, today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2015, ended October 26, 2014.

COMMENTARY

"Revenues for our second fiscal quarter were $297.0 million, an increase of $6.3 million compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2014, but a decrease of $30.7 million, or 9.4%, compared to the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2015. The second quarter was challenging. During the quarter, we experienced decreased demand for telecom products compared to the prior fiscal quarter, due to sluggish carrier capital expenditures. In addition, sales of transceivers for wireless applications were soft as were sales to several datacom customers with lumpy order patterns," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board.

"We remain confident in our industry leading market position and the long term growth potential for the industry. We expect revenue to grow sequentially in the third fiscal quarter, primarily driven by growth in the demand for 40 gigabit and 100 gigabit transceivers for datacom applications as well as transceivers for wireless applications," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer.

(a) In evaluating the operating performance of Finisar's business, Finisar
    management utilizes financial measures that exclude certain charges and
    credits required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or
    GAAP, that are considered by management to be outside Finisar's core
    operating results. A reconciliation of Finisar's non-GAAP financial
    measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as well as
    additional related information, can be found under the heading "Finisar
    Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Financial Statement Highlights for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2015:

  • Revenues decreased to $297.0 million, down $30.7 million, or 9.4%, from $327.6 million in the preceding quarter.

  • Sales of products for datacom applications decreased by $25.3 million, or 10.5%, compared to the preceding quarter, primarily due to a decrease in sales of transceivers for wireless applications and a decrease in orders from several datacom customers with lumpy order patterns.

  • Sales of products for telecom applications decreased by $5.3 million, or 6.2%, compared to the preceding quarter, primarily due to the decrease in demand for transceivers for telecom applications driven by sluggish carrier capital expenditures.

  • GAAP gross margin decreased to 28.6% from 30.2% in the preceding quarter, primarily driven by decreased revenue levels and an increase in depreciation.

  • Non-GAAP gross margin decreased to 31.1% from 32.0% in the preceding quarter.

  • GAAP operating expenses increased $13.7 million to $92.2million from $78.5 million in the preceding quarter, primarily from expenses related to resolving a pending litigation alleging patent infringement.

  • Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased $2.1 million to $67.3 million from $69.4 million in the preceding quarter.

  • GAAP operating income decreased $27.6 million, to an operating loss $7.3 million or (2.4)% of revenues, compared to $20.4 million or 6.2% of revenues in the preceding quarter, primarily as the result of lower revenue levels and gross margins, and higher expenses related to resolving a pending litigation alleging patent infringement.

  • Non-GAAP operating income decreased $10.4 million to $25.0 million, or 8.4% of revenues, compared to $35.4 million, or 10.8% of revenues, in the preceding quarter, primarily as the result of lower revenue levels and gross margins.

  • Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments decreased $20.0 million to $477.4 million at the end of the second quarter, compared to $497.4 million at the end of the preceding quarter, primarily as the result of capital expenditures of $28.4 million, increased inventory of $14.7 million and legal settlement-related expenses of approximately $13.7 million.

OUTLOOK

The Company indicated that for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 it currently expects revenues in the range of $297 to $312 million, non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 31%, non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 8.4% to 9.4%, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of approximately $0.23 to $0.27.

FINISAR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP income per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental information regarding the Company's operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or which occur relatively infrequently and which management considers to be outside our core operating results. Some of these non-GAAP measures also exclude the ongoing impact of historical business decisions made in different business and economic environments. Management believes that tracking non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our current operations, our ability to generate cash and the underlying business trends which are affecting our performance. These non-GAAP measures are used by both management and our Board of Directors, along with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. In particular, management finds it useful to exclude non-cash charges in order to better correlate our operating activities with our ability to generate cash from operations and to exclude certain cash charges as a means of more accurately predicting our liquidity requirements. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with our GAAP financial information, also allow investors to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry.

In calculating non-GAAP gross profit in this release, we have excluded the following items from cost of revenues in applicable periods in this release:

  • Changes in excess and obsolete inventory reserve (predominantly non-cash charges or non-cash benefits);
  • Amortization of acquired technology (non-cash charges related to technology obtained in acquisitions);
  • Duplicate facilities costs during facilities move (non-recurring charges)
  • Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges);
  • Abandonment of fix assets (non-cash charges);
  • Reduction in force costs (non-recurring cash charges); and
  • Acquisition related retention payments (non-recurring cash charges).

In calculating non-GAAP operating income in this release, we have excluded the same items to the extent they are classified as operating expenses, and have also excluded the following items in applicable periods in this release:

  • Gain or loss on litigation settlements and resolutions and related costs (non-recurring cash charges or benefits);
  • Gain on fair value re-measurement of contingent consideration (non-cash benefit);
  • Employee and employer tax liabilities related to the 2006 special investigation into our historical stock option granting practices (non-recurring cash charges);
  • Shareholder class action and derivative litigation costs (non-recurring cash expenses associated with the derivative litigation related to our historical stock option granting practices and related to the class action and derivative litigation related to our March 8, 2011 earnings announcement);
  • Acquisition related costs (non-recurring cash charges); and
  • Amortization of purchased intangibles (non-cash charges).

In calculating non-GAAP income and non-GAAP income per share in this release, we have also excluded the following items in applicable periods in this release:

  • Imputed interest expenses on convertible debt (non-cash charges);
  • Imputed interest related to restructuring (non-cash charges);
  • Gains and losses on sales of assets (non-recurring and/or non-cash losses and gains related to the periodic disposal of assets no longer required for current activities);
  • Gains and losses related to minority investments (non-cash or non-recurring benefits or charges);
  • Other miscellaneous expenses (income) (non-recurring charges or benefits);
  • Dollar denominated foreign exchange transaction losses (gains) (non-cash charges or benefits);
  • Amortization of debt issuance costs (non-cash charges);
  • Non-controlling interest non-GAAP adjustment (non-cash and/or non-recurring charges or benefits attributable to the non-controlling interest in majority-controlled subsidiaries); and
  • Differences between cash payable for income taxes and the provision for income taxes in accordance with GAAP, less discrete items.

A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP information is set forth below:
