Finisar Announces First Fiscal Quarter 2016 Financial Results

SUNNYVALE, CA --(Marketwired - September 10, 2015) - Finisar Corporation ( NASDAQ : FNSR ), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optic communications, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2016, ended August 2, 2015.

COMMENTARY "Revenues for our first fiscal quarter were $314.0 million compared to $320.0 million in the prior quarter; however, the prior quarter had the benefit of an additional week. Taking that into consideration, the first fiscal quarter had a higher average weekly revenue relative to the prior quarter," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board. "Strength in revenue was primarily driven by 40 gigabit transceivers for datacom applications".

  (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 First Quarter of Fiscal 2016:

  • Revenues decreased to $314.0 million, a decrease of $6.0 million, or (1.9)%, from $320.0 million in the preceding quarter, as the result of the impact of one fewer week than the prior quarter.
  • Sales of products for datacom applications decreased by $8.7 million, or (3.6)%, compared to the preceding quarter, primarily as the result of the impact of one fewer week than the prior quarter.
  • Sales of products for telecom applications increased by $2.7 million, or 3.4%, compared to the preceding quarter.
  • GAAP gross margin was 27.8% compared to 27.9% in the preceding quarter.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin was 30.2% compared to 30.3% in the prior quarter.
  • GAAP operating expenses were $80.3 million compared to $78.9 million in the prior quarter.
  • Non-GAAP operating expenses were $68.4 million compared to $68.2 million in the prior quarter.
  • GAAP operating income decreased by $3.2 million, to $7.1 million or 2.2% of revenues, compared to $10.3 million or 3.2% of revenues in the preceding quarter, primarily due to the lower revenue level.
  • Non-GAAP operating income decreased by $2.3 million to $26.5 million, or 8.4% of revenues, compared to $28.8 million, or 9.0% of revenues, in the preceding quarter .
  • Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments increased $5.5 million to $495.7 million at the end of the first quarter, compared to $490.2 million at the end of the preceding quarter.

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 cash charges)
  • Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges);
  • Abandonment of fixed assets (non-recurring non-cash charges);
  • Impairment of long-lived assets (non-recurring non-cash charges);
  • Acquisition method accounting adjustment for sale of acquired inventory (non-recurring 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);
  • Shareholder class action and derivative litigation costs (non-recurring cash charges 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);
  • Impairment of acquired R&D reimbursement receivable (non-recurring non-cash charges);
  • Amortization of purchased intangibles (non-cash charges);
  • Abandonment of fixed assets (non-cash charges); and
  • Impairment of long-lived assets (non-recurring 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 cash 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:
