SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 4, 2012) - Finisar Corporation (
COMMENTARY
"As expected, our first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was challenging. This was primarily the result of sluggish macroeconomic conditions, especially in Europe, as well as the slowing of economic growth in China. Generally telecom spending throughout the world has been soft. In addition, we had two fewer shipping days in the first quarter than in the previous quarter," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board. "However, I am happy to report that we expect revenue growth to resume in the second quarter. In addition, we expect to hold operating expenses relatively flat, excluding the impact of a full quarter of the RED-C acquisition. Thus, we expect operating income will grow in the second quarter."
"During the quarter, we continued to ramp a significant number of new products for both the datacom and telecom markets. We expect these new products to help drive our future revenue growth and market share expansion. During the last quarter, we acquired RED-C Optical Networks to broaden our product lines primarily for telecom applications by adding key amplification technologies," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer. "These technologies are considered critical for ROADM line cards and are increasingly important in cost-effectively extending the reach of transceivers and transponders, especially for 100 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s coherent transmission, and low latency networks. We expect that the integration of RED-C technology into Finisar products will enable us to offer our customers a much higher level of product integration with increased cost effectiveness. The combination should accelerate our market share growth."

_____________
(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.
Operating Statement Highlights for the first quarter of fiscal 2013:
- Revenues decreased to $220.5 million, down $19.4 million, or 8.1%, from $239.9 million in the preceding quarter primarily as a result of current macroeconomic conditions, especially in Europe, as well as the slowing of economic growth in China. Generally telecom spending throughout the world has been soft. In addition, there were two fewer shipping days in the first quarter than in the previous quarter.
- Compared to the preceding quarter, the sale of products for datacom applications decreased by $6.6 million, or (4.5)%, and the sale of products for telecom applications decreased by $12.8 million, or (13.6)%.
- Gross margin was 26.2% on a GAAP basis and 30.3% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 27.3% and 31.4%, respectively, in the preceding quarter primarily due to the impact of lower revenue levels relative to fixed manufacturing costs.
- GAAP operating income (loss) decreased $17.3 million to $(5.2) million, or (2.4)% of revenues, compared to $12.1 million of operating income, or 5.0% of revenues, in the preceding quarter.
- Non-GAAP operating income decreased $8.9million to $12.0 million, or 5.4% of revenues, compared to $20.9 million, or 8.7% of revenues, in the preceding quarter primarily due to lower revenue levels.
- Non-GAAP EBITDA decreased $9.3 million to $24.9 million, or 11.3% of revenues, compared to $34.2 million, or 14.2% of revenues, in the preceding quarter.
Balance Sheet Highlights for the first quarter of fiscal 2013:
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $220.4 million at the end of the first quarter, compared to $234.5 million at the end of the preceding quarter.
- During the first quarter, Finisar completed the acquisition of RED-C Optical Networks Inc. for a total of $23.7 million in initial cash consideration.
- During the first quarter, Finisar repaid the remaining outstanding debt balance of $3.2 million at our Ignis subsidiary.
- At the end of the first quarter, Finisar had approximately $40.0 million in principal amount of convertible notes outstanding with a conversion price of $10.675 per share.
OUTLOOK
The Company currently expects revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 to be in the range of $225 to $240 million; GAAP operating margin to in the range of approximately 0.0% to 1.5%; non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of approximately 5.7% to 7.2% and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be in the range of approximately $0.12 to $0.16.

FINISAR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides 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:
- 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);
- Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges);
- Acquisition method accounting adjustment for sale of acquired inventory (non-cash charges);
- Expense related to recent flooding in Thailand (non-recurring charges); and
- Reduction in force costs (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:
- 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 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);
- Amortization of purchased intangibles (non-cash charges); and
- Restructuring costs and recoveries (non-recurring cash charges).
In calculating non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP income from continuing operations per share in this release, we have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:
- Interest income on legal settlements and resolutions (non-recurring benefits)
- Gains and losses on sales of assets (non-recurring or non-cash losses and cash gains related to the periodic disposal of assets no longer required for current activities);
- Dollar denominated foreign exchange transaction losses (gains) (non-cash charges or benefits);
- Gain on fair value re-measurement of contingent consideration liability (non-recurring benefits);
- Other miscellaneous expenses (income) (non-recurring charges or benefits);
- Loss related to minority and equity method investments (non-cash charges);
- Debt extinguishment loss (non-recurring charges);
- Fair value re-measurement of equity investment (non-cash gain from re-measurement of value of prior investment in an investee); and
- Differences between cash payable for income taxes and the provision for income taxes in accordance with GAAP, less discrete items.
In calculating non-GAAP income per share in this release, we have included the shares issuable upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes and excluded the interest expenses associated with such notes in such periods where such treatment is dilutive to non-GAAP income (loss) per share.
A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP information is set forth below:
