II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Note A - Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented have been included. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The results for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004 include one month contribution from Marlow Industries, Inc. which was acquired by the Company in December 2004.

 

On February 17, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split, in the form of a stock dividend, of the Company’s common stock for shareholders of record on March 2, 2005. The stock split was distributed on March 22, 2005 by issuing one additional share of common stock for every share of common stock held. The applicable share and per share data for all periods included herein have been restated to give effect to this stock split.

 

Note B - Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company had a stock option plan, the II-VI Incorporated stock option plan of 2001, under which stock options had been granted by the Board of Directors to directors, officers and key employees, with 7,740,000 shares of common stock reserved for use under this plan. All options to purchase shares of common stock granted under this plan had been at market price at the date of grant. Generally, twenty percent of the options may be exercised one year from the date of grant with comparable annual increases on a cumulative basis each year thereafter. The stock option plan also had vesting provisions predicated upon the death, retirement or disability of the optionee. All stock options expire 10 years after the grant date.

 

On August 13, 2005, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted, subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company, the II-VI Incorporated 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, deferred shares or performance shares in the aggregate not to exceed 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock and performance units. The 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan was approved by the shareholders of the company on November 4, 2005, and consequently, no further stock option grants will be made under the predecessor plan.

 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), (“SFAS 123R”) “Share-Based Payment,” effective July 1, 2005. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes the stock compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its stock compensation.

Table of Contents

The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method for adopting SFAS 123R. Under this method, all prior period financial statements were restated effective July 1, 2005 to recognize compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2005 has been restated for the modified retrospective adoption of SFAS 123R resulting in a $7.2 million increase in common stock, a $5.6 million reduction in retained earnings and a $1.6 million increase in deferred tax asset.

 

The fiscal year 2005 Statements of Earnings have been restated to reflect the Company’s adoption of the modified retrospective transition method under SFAS 123R. The following are stock compensation, net of related income tax effects, for each of the prior periods during fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 ($000):

Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $1.0 million in stock compensation expense in its Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively. The stock compensation expense is allocated 35% to cost of goods sold and 65% to selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings based upon the employee classification of the Grantee. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock compensation expense. During the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the weighted-average fair value of options granted under the stock option plan was $10.82 and $11.02, respectively, per option using the following assumptions:

Dividend yield

The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Note rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant related to the expected life of the options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The expected life calculation is based on the observed time to post-vesting exercise and/or forfeitures of options by our employees. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact the Company never paid cash dividends and has no intention to pay cash dividends in the future. The estimated annualized forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and are estimated at a rate of 22%. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeitures are higher than estimated.

Note C - Acquisitions

 

II-VI Deutschland GmbH

 

In July 2005, the Company exercised its call option and purchased the remaining 25% interest of II-VI Deutschland GmbH from L.O.T.-Oriel Laser Optik GmbH & Co. KG of Darmstadt, Germany (collectively L.O.T.) for approximately $1.6 million. In connection with the purchase of the remaining 25% interest, the Company received a three year non-compete agreement from L.O.T. The purchase price was allocated $1.4 million to goodwill and $0.2 million to the non-complete agreement. The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase accounting related to this acquisition; in particular, the allocation of the purchase price among goodwill and identified intangible assets has not yet been finalized and are therefore subject to adjustment in future periods. The Company expects to finalize its valuation of the acquired intangibles by March 31, 2006.

 

Marlow Industries, Inc.

 

In December 2004, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Marlow Industries, Inc. (Marlow) for approximately $29.7 million net of cash acquired of $2.9 million and including transaction costs of approximately $0.3 million. Marlow is a global leader in the design and manufacture of thermoelectric solutions for both cooling and power generation based on compound semiconductor materials. Marlow’s products are sold in a variety of markets, including defense and space, telecommunications, medical and industrial markets. As a result of the acquisition, the Company is expected to recognize synergies in material growth technology and utilization of its worldwide manufacturing and distribution networks to increase the operational and financial results of the combined companies.

 

This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Accordingly, the Company recorded the net assets at their estimated fair values, and included operating results in the consolidated financial statements since December 2004. The following table presents allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition ($000’s).

On December 10, 2004, the Company replaced its $45.0 million secured credit facility with a $60.0 million secured credit facility in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Marlow. This facility has a five-year term and contains a term loan in the original amount of $30.0 million and a $30.0 million line of credit. The facility is collateralized by a pledge of 65% of the stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including those relating to minimum net worth, leverage and consolidated debt service coverage. The facility has an interest rate range of LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.50%. Principal payments of $1.9 million under the term loan are payable in quarterly installments beginning January 1, 2006. The weighted average interest rate of borrowings under this credit agreement was 4.4% and 3.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company had available $22.4 million under its line of credit as of December 31, 2005. The amounts available under the Company’s line of credit are reduced by outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, total outstanding letters of credit supported by the credit facility were $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company has a 300 million Yen loan. This loan matures on September 25, 2007. Interest is at a rate equal to the Japanese Yen Base Rate, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 1.49%. The Japanese Yen Base Rate was 0.07% at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005.

Note K -  Segment and Geographic Reporting

 

The Company reports its segments using the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure or any other manner in which management segregates a company.

 

The Company’s reportable segments offer similar products to different target markets. The segments are managed separately due to the production requirements and facilities that are unique to each segment. The Company has the following reportable segments: Infrared Optics, which is the Company’s infrared optics and material products businesses and remaining corporate activities, primarily corporate assets, capital expenditures and stock-based compensation; Near-Infrared Optics, which is the Company’s VLOC subsidiary, the Suzhou, China and Vietnam near-infrared operations; Military Infrared Optics, which is the Company’s Exotic Electro-Optics subsidiary; and the Compound Semiconductor Group which is the aggregation of Marlow, the eV PRODUCTS division, the Wide Bandgap Materials (WBG) group and the Advanced Material Development Center (AMDC) group (which is responsible for the corporate research and development activities).

 

The Infrared Optics segment is divided into geographic locations in the United States, Singapore, China, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Belgium and the United Kingdom. An Executive Vice-President of the Company directs the segment, while each geographic location is directed by a general manager, and is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Infrared Optics segment designs, manufactures and markets optical and electro-optical components and materials sold under the II-VI Infrared and II-VI brand names and used primarily in high-power CO2 lasers.

 

The Near-Infrared Optics segment is located in the United States, China and Vietnam. The Near-Infrared Optics segment is directed by a general manager. The Near-Infrared Optics segment is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Near-Infrared Optics segment designs, manufactures and markets near-infrared and visible-light products for industrial, scientific, military and medical instruments and laser gain material and products for solid-state Yttrium Aluminum Garnet and Yttrium Lithium Fluoride lasers.

 

The Military Infrared Optics segment is located in the United States. The Military Infrared Optics segment is directed by a general manager with oversight by a Corporate Vice-President. The Military Infrared Optics segment is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. The Military Infrared Optics segment designs, manufactures and markets infrared products for military applications under the Exotic Electro-Optics brand name.

 

The Compound Semiconductor Group is located in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and Vietnam. The Compound Semiconductor Group segment is directed by a Corporate Vice-President. Marlow designs and manufacturers thermoelectric cooling and power generation solutions for use in defense and space, telecommunications, medical, consumer and industrial markets. eV PRODUCTS division manufactures and markets solid-state x-ray and gamma-ray sensor materials and products for use in medical, security monitoring, industrial, environmental and scientific applications. WBG group manufactures and markets single crystal silicon carbide substrates for use in solid-state lighting, wireless infrastructure, radio frequency (RF) electronics and power switching industries. AMDC group directs the corporate research and development initiatives.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company. Substantially all of the Company’s corporate expenses are allocated to the segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based upon reported segment earnings or loss, which is defined as earnings before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. Inter-segment sales and transfers have been eliminated.

Note L -  Derivative Instruments

 

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.

 

The Company from time-to-time purchases foreign currency forward exchange contracts, primarily in Japanese Yen, that permit it to sell specified amounts of these foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. These contracts are entered into to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates of export sales transactions in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company, on the basis of its aggregate net cash flows in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk.

Table of Contents

The Company recorded the fair value of contracts with a notional amount of approximately $5.1 million and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively, on the statement of financial position. The Company does not account for these contracts as hedges as defined by SFAS No. 133 and records the change in the fair value of these contracts in other income, net in the results of operations as they occur. The change in the fair value of these contracts decreased net earnings by $21,000 and $168,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The change in the fair value of these contracts increased net earnings by $31,000 and decreased net earnings by $91,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

To satisfy certain provisions of its credit facility, on March 8, 2005 the Company entered into one-year interest rate cap agreements with a total notional amount of $15.0 million. These agreements were entered into to limit interest rate exposure on one-half of the remaining outstanding balance of the Company’s term loan under the credit agreement. The floating rate option for the interest rate cap agreements is the one-month LIBOR rate. $10.0 million of the notional amount has a cap strike rate of 4.00% while $5.0 million of the notional amount has a cap strike rate at 3.50%. At December 31, 2005 the one-month LIBOR rate was 4.39%. The Company has elected not to account for these agreements as hedges as defined by SFAS No. 133 but instead recorded the unrealized change in the fair value of these agreements as an increase or decrease to interest expense in the results of operations. The effect of these interest rate cap agreements on net earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 was insignificant.

 

Note M -  Warranty Reserve

 

The Company records a warranty reserve as a charge against earnings based on a percentage of sales utilizing actual returns over the last twelve months.

 

The following table summarizes the change in the carrying value of the Company’s warranty reserve as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2005 ($000) and is included in other accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note N -  Investment in 5N Plus, Inc.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Company acquired for $1.7 million a 25% ownership interest in 5NPlus, Inc., a supplier to the Company. In July 2002, the Company increased its ownership interest to 33% as a result of a loan conversion to equity in accordance with the original purchase agreement in the amount of $0.4 million. In April 2005, the Company increased its ownership to 36% as a result of acquiring a pro-rata ownership percentage of an exiting shareholder for $0.2 million. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

 

At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding notes receivable of approximately $0.5 million from equipment and supply agreements with this supplier. Payments on these notes are made quarterly with interest calculated at the Canadian Prime Rate plus 1.50% on the unpaid balance. Raw materials purchased from this supplier were $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively and were $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively. The Company’s pro rata share of the earnings from this investment and the interest received from these agreements was approximately $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and was $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2004.

Note O -  Legal Proceedings

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to the business. In addition, during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company was awarded a jury verdict in the amount of $0.8 million in a trade secret lawsuit which it had initiated. The Company and the defendant appealed the decision by the lower court and the appeals have been exhausted. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company received the verdict award in the amount of $0.8 million and recorded this amount in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

 

Note P -  Stock Repurchase Program

 

On May 18, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its Common Stock. The repurchase program calls for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time-to-time. The Company may suspend or discontinue this purchase program at any time. Shares purchased by the Company will be retained as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes. The Company repurchased 38,400 shares of common stock totaling $0.7 million under the share repurchase program as of December 31, 2005. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 the Company repurchased 27,400 shares totaling $0.5 million. The Company expects the repurchase of shares over time to at least partially offset the dilutive effect of the issuance of shares from the Company’s stock option plan.

The following discussion and analysis includes three and six months of financial results for the period ended December 31, 2005 of the Company’s recently acquired Marlow Industries, Inc. subsidiary included in the Compound Semiconductor Group. The three and six months ended December 31, 2004 includes one month of financial results of Marlow as the entity was acquired in December 2004.

 

All per share data for this year and former periods cited in this discussion and analysis have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one split of the Company’s common shares paid as a stock dividend to shareholders of record on March 2, 2005 and distributed on March 22, 2005.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, valuation of long-lived assets including acquired intangibles and goodwill, accrual of bonus and profit sharing estimates, accrual of income tax liability estimates, workers compensation accrual for our self-insurance program, and accounting for share based payment. Management believes these policies to be critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), (“SFAS 123R”) “Share-Based Payment,” effective July 1, 2005. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes the stock compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its stock compensation.

 

The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method for adopting SFAS 123R. Under this method, all prior period financial statements were restated effective July 1, 2005 to recognize compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2005 has been restated for the modified retrospective adoption of SFAS 123R resulting in a $7.2 million increase in common stock, a $5.6 million reduction in retained earnings and a $1.6 million increase in deferred tax asset.

 

Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $1.0 million in stock compensation expense in its condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively. The stock compensation expense is allocated 35% to cost of goods sold and 65% to selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings based upon the employee classification of the Grantee. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock compensation expense. During the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the weighted-average fair value of options granted under the stock option plan was $10.82 and $11.02, respectively, per option using the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Note rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant related to the expected life of the options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The expected life calculation is based on the observed time to post-vesting exercise and/or forfeitures of options by our employees. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact the Company never paid cash dividends and has no intention to pay cash dividends in the future. The estimated annualized forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and are estimated at a rate of 22%. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeitures are higher than estimated. See also Note B to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the Company’s stock option and incentive plans.

 

As of December 31, 2005, there have been no other significant changes with regard to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005.

Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were $5,180,000 ($0.17 per share-diluted) on revenues of $53,827,000. This compares to net earnings of $5,394,000 ($0.18 per share-diluted) on revenues of $43,213,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net earnings were $11,929,000 ($0.40 per share-diluted) on revenues of $108,218,000. This compares to net earnings of $11,033,000 ($0.37 per share-diluted) on revenues of $83,720,000 for the six months ended December 2004. The decrease in net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the same quarter last fiscal year was impacted by several factors. The Company’s Infrared Optics segment had lower revenues in the current quarter than in the prior quarter due to throughput delays caused by rerouting coating work from the Company’s Singapore coating facility to the Saxonburg, Pennsylvania coating facility and a change in the infrared product mix resulting in increased shipments of lower margin optics as compared to the prior quarter. The Company’s Military Infrared Optics segment experienced higher than usual scrap and rework costs which impacted profitability for both established and new products. Net earnings were also negatively impacted by reduced revenues from the Company’s Near-Infrared Optics segment which experienced a decrease in revenues of 12% compared to the same quarter last fiscal year. In addition, energy costs and critical raw materials utilized in the

Company’s crystal growth and production processes continue to increase and negatively impact earnings. Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was positively impacted by a reduction in the effective income tax rate to 24.3% compared to 27.0% in the second quarter last fiscal year due to a lowering of projected income from United States source income and an increase of foreign source income. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the increase in net earnings was primarily attributed to a 29% increase in revenues compared to the same six month period last fiscal year which offset the factors impacting net earnings during the three months ended December 31, 2005.

 

Net earnings were impacted for all periods presented from the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R related to the Company’s share based payments. The Company recognized after-tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.7 million of stock option compensation in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively and $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively. The stock compensation expense of $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 is allocated 35% to cost of goods sold and 65% to selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings based upon the employee classification of the Grantee.

 

Bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 increased 27% to $62,688,000 compared to $49,380,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Bookings are defined as customer orders received that are expected to be converted to revenues over the next twelve months. For long-term customer orders, the Company does not include in bookings the portion of the customer order that is beyond 12 months due to the inherent uncertainty of an order that far out in the future. Bookings for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 40% to $122,005,000 compared to $86,912,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in bookings for the current fiscal three and six month periods compared to the same periods last fiscal year is primarily due to increased product demand across all of the Company’s business segments. The Company’s Near-Infrared Optics segment reported the strongest increase in bookings for the three and six month periods at 89% and 47%, respectively, due to receiving a large order for the segment’s UV filter product line used to assist aircraft in the early detection of missile threats. Infrared Optics bookings increased 16% for both the current fiscal three and six month periods compared to the same periods last fiscal year due to the continued demand for high power replacement laser optics and laser optic materials. The Company’s Compound Semiconductor Group’s bookings for the current fiscal six month period increased $16.4 million compared to the prior fiscal six month period due primarily to the bookings from the Company’s Marlow subsidiary which the Company acquired in December 2004. Bookings for the Company’s Military Optics segment increased 13% and 30% for the three and six month periods, respectively, as compared to the same periods last fiscal year due to the segment’s heritage programs such as the Apache helicopter targeting system and other programs experiencing repair and replacement of these weapon systems due to the current military deployment.

 

Bookings, revenues and segment earnings (loss) for the Company’s reportable segments are discussed below. Segment earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and differs from income from operations in that segment earnings excludes certain operational expenses included in other income – net as reported. Management believes segment earnings to be a useful measure as it reflects the results of segment performance over which management has direct control. See also Note K to the condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s reportable segments and the reconciliation of segment earnings to earnings before income taxes.

Bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 for Infrared Optics increased 16% to $30,301,000 from $26,070,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Bookings for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 16% to $56,854,000 from $49,056,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Demand from OEM’s, who utilize infrared optics in their laser systems, continues to strengthen across all markets serviced. Demand is expected to remain strong in the near-term as manufacturing companies worldwide continue to invest in laser equipment to increase productivity and lower costs. In addition, bookings for the segment’s zinc selenide and zinc sulfide materials have increased compared to the same periods last fiscal year as market demand for these materials continue to strengthen.

 

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 for Infrared Optics increased 14% to $26,708,000 from $23,513,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 19% to $55,605,000 from $46,578,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in revenues for the current fiscal three and six month periods compared to the same periods last fiscal year is driven by demand from both the Company’s OEM and aftermarket customers. In particular, revenues from OEM customers in Japan, Germany and Switzerland have been strong. In addition, the segment has experienced increased material sales used in various military programs.

 

Segment earnings for the second quarter decreased 1% to $7,086,000 from $7,159,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Despite the increase in revenues for the current fiscal three months of approximately $3.2 million compared to the same period last fiscal year, segment earnings were negatively impacted by several factors including a shift in the sales mix from higher margin products to lower margin products as compared to the same period last fiscal year. In addition, the segment experienced short-term production challenges and throughput issues relating to its coating operations, continued increases in raw material and energy costs and increased levels of overhead associated with the segment’s recent expansion of the Saxonburg and Singapore manufacturing facilities. During the current quarter, the weakening Japanese Yen also negatively impacted our gross margins. Segment earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 11% to $15,817,000 from $14,256,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The improvement in segment earnings for the current fiscal six month period as compared to the same period of the last fiscal year was primarily due to increased sales volume.

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 for Near-Infrared Optics decreased 12% to $7,283,000 compared to $8,313,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was consistent at $15,981,000 compared to $16,060,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Shipments from the segment’s crystal products and Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) product lines were lower compared to the same period last fiscal year. In addition, the segment recognized lower contract revenue in the current period compared to the same period last fiscal year as well as decreased demand from military applications.

 

Segment earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 decreased 55% to $238,000 from $531,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Segment earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 7% to $1,071,000 from $997,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The primary contributor to the decrease in segment earnings for both the three and six month periods of the current fiscal year compared to the same periods last fiscal year was lower than anticipated revenues from the UV filter, YAG and crystal product lines. In addition, production yields and increased operating costs relating to utilities, repairs and maintenance and other outside service costs also impacted segment earnings negatively.

Bookings for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 30% to $14,213,000 as compared to $10,917,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in the segment’s bookings for both the current fiscal three and six month periods compared to the same periods last fiscal year was due to increased demand for long-running heritage programs such as the Apache Helicopter and demand for repair and replacement parts for weapon systems due to the current military conflicts in the Middle East. In addition, the segment’s sapphire product bookings for the current fiscal six months have increased from the same period last fiscal year as the segment continues to make technological advancement on this challenging product line.

 

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 for Military Infrared Optics increased 18% to $7,920,000 compared to $6,684,000 in the second quarter last fiscal year. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2005 increased 8% to $14,099,000 compared to $13,095,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in revenues for the current fiscal three and six month periods compared to the same periods last fiscal year was primarily attributed to increased shipments of the segment’s sapphire window shrouds for the Advanced Targeting Pod or ATP Sniper program and the Joint Strike Fighter product line as well as the segment’s core military programs including the Apache Helicopter advanced targeting system, commonly referred to as the Arrowhead Program.

 

Segment loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $382,000 compared to segment earnings of $358,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The segment loss for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was $906,000 compared to segment earnings of $639,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The segment losses for the current fiscal three and six month periods compared to segment earnings from the same periods last fiscal year were primarily driven by lower than normal production yields and increased scrap costs associated with the segment’s Javelin and Arrowhead Programs. The Javelin program is nearing completion with the remaining backlog for this program to be completed by the end of fiscal 2006. The segment is continuing to ramp up production on the Arrowhead Program and anticipates continued production challenges associated with this program.

The Company’s Compound Semiconductor Group includes the combined operations of the Company’s Marlow subsidiary, eV PRODUCTS division, the Company’s WBG group and the Company’s AMDC group.

 

Bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 for the Compound Semiconductor Group were $9,367,000 as compared to $9,020,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Bookings for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $27,316,000 compared to $10,869,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Included in the current fiscal three and six months bookings were approximately $6.9 million and $20.0 million, respectively, from Marlow which the Company acquired in December 2004. The Group’s eV PRODUCTS division experienced a decrease in bookings of approximately $2.6 million for the current fiscal three months compared to the same period last fiscal year due to the acceleration of a $2.2 million orders received from the Company’s major medical customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The prior year’s blanket order for this customer was received in the second fiscal 2005 quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, eV PRODUCTS bookings increased approximately 6% compared to the same period last fiscal year as higher demand is being realized from the Company’s core OEM customers in the medical, industrial and security markets. The Group’s WBG Group received a $0.6 million contract during the three months ended December 31, 2005 from the Missile Defense Agency and the Air Force Research Labs for the continued development of next-generation silicon carbide substrates.

 

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 for the Compound Semiconductor Group were $11,916,000 compared to $4,703,000 in the second quarter of the last fiscal year. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $22,533,000 compared to $7,987,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Included in the current fiscal three and six month periods were revenues of approximately $8.9 million and $16.9 million respectively from Marlow. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 Marlow recorded $2,320,000 of revenues. Demand for Marlow’s products remains strong, especially in the defense and medical markets. eV PRODUCTS experienced an increase of revenues for the current fiscal three months compared to the same period last fiscal year of approximately 32% due to increased product demand from the Company’s OEM customers in the medical, industrial and security markets. For the fiscal six months ended 2006, revenues from eV PRODUCTS and the WBG Group were consistent with the same period last fiscal year.

 

Segment earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 of $247,000 improved from the segment loss of $774,000 in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The segment loss of $115,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 decreased from the segment loss of $1,320,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The improvement in the segment’s performance for both the current three and six month periods was primarily attributable to the inclusion of Marlow’s operations during the entire three and six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to only one month in both the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 as well as operating improvements from the Company’s eV PRODUCTS division.

Overall

 

Manufacturing gross margin, which is defined as net sales less cost of goods sold, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $19,822,000 or 38% of net sales compared to $18,150,000 or 44% of net sales for the same period last fiscal year. Manufacturing gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was $41,240,000 or 40% of net sales compared to $35,341,000 or 45% of net sales for the same period last fiscal year. The decrease in gross margin percentage during the current three and six month periods compared to the same periods last fiscal year was due to several factors. The addition of Marlow has lowered gross margins as the historical gross margins of Marlow’s product mix are lower than the overall gross margin of the Company before the Marlow acquisition. Selenium and other raw material price increases in our Infrared Optics segment negatively impacted gross margins as the prices of these materials are rising and expected to continue to increase over the near-term. Low production yields and high scrap costs experienced by the Military Infrared Optics segment and production challenges of our Infrared Optics segment also lowered gross margin. Finally, during the current quarter, the weakening Japanese Yen negatively impacted our gross margins.

 

Contract research and development gross margin, which is calculated as contract research and development revenues less contract research and development expenses, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $634,000 or 31% of research and development revenues compared to a gross margin of $842,000 or 48% of research and development revenues for the same period last fiscal year. Contract research and development gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was $1,304,000 or 31% of research and development revenue compared to a gross margin of $1,217,000 or 27% of research and development revenue for the same period last fiscal year. The decrease in contract research and development gross margin during the current quarter compared to the same quarter last fiscal year was due to decreased profitability of several of the Military Infrared Optics segment contracts resulting from increased costs associated with production challenges and higher scrap costs. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, contract research and development gross margin is consistent with the same period last fiscal year. The contract research and development revenues and costs are a result of development efforts in the Near-Infrared Optics and the Military Infrared Optics segments as well as activities in the eV PRODUCTS division and the WBG group.

 

Company-funded internal research and development expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were $1,966,000 or 4% of revenue compared to $1,584,000 or 4% of revenues for the same period last fiscal year. Company funded internal research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $3,877,000 or 4% of revenues compared to $2,632,000 or 3% for the same period last fiscal year. The higher dollar expense is primarily the result of the internal research and development at our Marlow subsidiary, less externally funded contract activity at our silicon carbide operations and more corporate research and development expense at our AMDC operations. Company funded internal research and development expenses combined with externally funded research and development expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 were $3,408,000 or 6% of revenue compared to $2,500,000 or 6% for the same period last fiscal year. Company funded internal research and development expenses combined with externally funded research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $6,834,000 or 6% compared to $5,856,000 or 7% for the same period last fiscal year.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were $11,301,000 or 21% of revenues compared to $10,134,000 or 23% of revenues for the same period last fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $22,800,000 or 21% of revenues compared to $19,354,000 or 23% of revenues for the same period last fiscal year. From a percentage of revenue standpoint, the addition of Marlow and this business’s selling general and administration cost structure has lowered this metric for the Company as a whole. In addition, the Company had lower professional services for legal related matters during the current fiscal three and six month periods compared to the same periods last fiscal year.

Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $450,000 compared to $88,000 for the same period last fiscal year. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, interest expense was $855,000 compared to $151,000 for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in interest expense for the current fiscal three and six months compared to the same periods last fiscal year was due to the increase in the Company’s debt obtained to finance the Marlow acquisition in December 2004 and higher interest rates.

 

Other income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $101,000 compared to other income of $203,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Other income for the second fiscal quarter of 2006 reflects several items including foreign currency gains, interest income and other income items partially offset by the minority interest from the 25% interest of II-VI LOT Suisse S.a.r.l. that the Company does not own. Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was $1,398,000 compared to $694,000 of other income for the same period last fiscal year. For the current fiscal six month period, the increase in other income compared to the same period last fiscal year was due to the receipt of a $800,000 award from a jury verdict in favor of the Company in a trade secret lawsuit.

 

The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate of 27.3% is consistent with the prior year’s effective income tax rate of 27.0%.

 

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act), creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and uncertainty remains as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the Act. The Company has not decided to what extent it might repatriate foreign earnings back to the United States.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, our primary source of cash has been provided through operations. Other sources of cash include proceeds received from the exercise of stock options as well as through long-term borrowings. Our historical uses of cash have been for capital expenditures, purchases of businesses, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations and purchase of treasury stock. Supplemental information pertaining to our sources and uses of cash is presented as follows:

     (4,926 )     28,000  

Purchases of treasury stock

     (496 )     —    

 

In the first six months of fiscal 2006, cash provided by operations was approximately $14.2 million. The increase in cash was driven by the Company’s net earnings of approximately $11.9 million along with depreciation and amortization of $7.7 million. The increase in cash was offset by working capital requirements of approximately $5.4 million.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2006 of approximately $11.1 million was primarily for property, plant and equipment expenditures of $9.6 million and the acquisition of the remaining 25% of II-VI Deutschland GmbH of $1.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities of $4.9 million was primarily the net payments on borrowings.

 

On December 10, 2004, the Company replaced its $45.0 million secured credit facility with a $60.0 million secured credit agreement in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Marlow. This facility has a five-year term and contains a term loan in the original amount of $30.0 million and a $30.0 million line of credit. The facility is collateralized by a pledge of 65% of the stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including those relating to minimum net worth, leverage and consolidated debt service coverage. The facility has an interest rate range of LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.50%. Principal payments of $1.9 million under the term loan are payable quarterly beginning January 1, 2006. The weighted average interest rate of borrowings under this credit agreement was 4.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The Company had available $22.4 million under its line of credit as of December 31, 2005. The amounts available under the Company’s line of credit are reduced by outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 2005, total outstanding letters of credit supported by the credit facility were $0.6 million.

 

On May 18, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its Common Stock. The repurchase program calls for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time-to-time. The Company may suspend or discontinue this purchase program at any time. Shares purchased by the Company will be retained as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes. The Company repurchased 38,400 shares of common stock totaling $0.7 million under the share repurchase program as of December 31, 2005. During the three months ended December 31, 2005 the Company repurchased 27,400 shares totaling $0.5 million. The Company expects the repurchase of shares over time to at least partially offset the dilutive effect of the issuance of shares from the Company’s stock option plan.

 

Our cash position, borrowing capacity and debt obligations are as follows:

 

($000)

 

     December 31,

   June 30,
    2005    


Cash and cash equivalents

Available borrowing capacity

     22,400      17,600

Total debt obligations

     39,874      44,981

 

The Company believes cash flow from operations, existing cash reserves and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs, capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments, treasury stock repurchases and internal growth for fiscal 2006.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Foreign Exchange Risks

 

The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Company uses a variety of techniques and derivative financial instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy primarily focused on its exposure to the Japanese Yen. No significant changes have occurred in the techniques and instruments used other than those described below.

 

The Company also has transactions denominated in Euros and Pounds Sterling. Changes in the foreign currency exchange rates of these currencies did not have a material impact on the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2005.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with its banks. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge ordinary business risks regarding foreign currencies on product sales. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency rates. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts provide the Company with an economic hedge in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of the parties to these contracts. While the Company may be exposed to potential losses due to risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to these financial instruments, it does not anticipate such losses. The Company entered into a 300 million Yen loan in September 2002 in an effort to minimize the foreign currency exposure in Japan. A change in the interest rate of 1% for this Yen loan would have changed the interest expense by approximately $7,000 and $13,000 for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, and a 10% change in the Yen to dollar exchange rate would have changed revenues in the range from a decrease of $418,000 to an increase of $551,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, and in the range from a decrease of $842,000 to an increase of $1,035,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005.

Table of Contents

For II-VI Singapore Pte., Ltd. and its subsidiaries and the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary II-VI LOT Suisse S.a.r.l., the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses on the remeasurement of the local currency financial statements are included in net earnings. Foreign currency remeasurement (losses) gains were ($4,000) and $348,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, and ($35,000) and $156,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

For all other foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates; while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.

 

Interest Rate Risks

 

To satisfy certain provisions of its credit facility, on March 8, 2005 the Company entered into one-year interest rate cap agreements with a total notional amount of $15.0 million. These agreements were entered into to limit interest rate exposure on one-half of the remaining outstanding balance of the Company’s term loan under the credit agreement. The floating rate option for the interest rate cap agreements is the one-month LIBOR rate. $10.0 million of the notional amount has a cap strike rate of 4.00% while $5.0 million of the notional amount has a cap strike rate of 3.50%. At December 31, 2005 the one-month LIBOR rate was 4.39%. The Company has elected not to account for these agreements as hedges as defined by SFAS No. 133 but instead recorded the unrealized change in the fair value of these agreements as an increase or decrease to interest expense in the results of operations. The effect of these interest rate caps on net earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 was insignificant. As of December 31, 2005, the total borrowings of $39.9 million included a $30.0 million term loan, $7.0 million under a line of credit, $2.6 million loan denominated in Japanese Yen and a $0.3 million Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) term note. As such, the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates. A change in the interest rate of 1% would have changed the interest expense by approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of Carl J. Johnson, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Craig A. Creaturo, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls’ stated goals. Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Johnson and Creaturo concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Additional repurchases of stock may occur from time-to-time depending upon factors such as the Company’s cash flows and general market condition. While the Company expects to continue to repurchase shares of the Common Stock for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance as to the timing or amount of such repurchase.
