Finisar Corporation Announces Another Record Quarter

Fifth Consecutive Quarter of Double-Digit Growth Drives Record Revenues of $207.9 Million

Revenues Up 10.3% From Prior Quarter and 61.5% From Prior Year

Net Income From Continuing Operations Sets a New Record


SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - September 2, 2010) - Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optics communications, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended August 1, 2010. Total revenues and income from continuing operations for the quarter were new records for the Company.

COMMENTARY

"In our just completed first quarter, we reached our previous target financial model earlier than we had predicted," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board. "We achieved company records for revenues, gross margin, operating margin and EPS. Furthermore, the demand environment continued to be very strong for us, particularly for our higher data rate transceivers and our ROADM products. As a sign of that ongoing strength, our book-to-bill ratio in the quarter continued to be above 1.0."

"Gross margins continued to improve last quarter, reflecting a favorable product mix along with the benefits of being vertically integrated," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer. "Adding capacity continues to be a top priority for us next quarter, particularly for our ROADM products where demand currently exceeds our ability to supply. The mix of WSS components and ROADM linecard business last quarter tends to mask the progress we made in terms of adding capacity as overall unit shipments increased by more than 25%. We intend to add significant ROADM capacity again in the second quarter based on a number of initiatives that went into effect toward the end of last quarter."

(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.

Highlights for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 under GAAP:

-- Revenues increased to $207.9 million, up $19.4 million, or 10.3%, from
   $188.5 million in the preceding quarter and up $79.2 million, or 61.5%,
   from $128.7 million in the first quarter of the prior year.

-- Compared to the preceding quarter, the sale of products for
   applications equal to or greater than 10 Gbps increased $20.1 million,
   or 27.2%, the sale of products for applications less than 10 Gbps
   decreased $(4.2) million, or (5.0)%,  the sale of ROADM related
   products, including wavelength selective switches, or WSS, increased
   $3.6 million, or 13.5%, as unit shipments  of WSS products increased
   faster than higher-priced ROADM linecards containing a WSS, and the
   sale of products for cable TV applications, CATV,  decreased $(0.2)
   million, or (3.9)%.

-- Compared to the first quarter of the prior year, the sale of products
   for applications equal to or greater than 10 Gbps increased $42.2
   million, or 81.3%, the sale of products for applications less than 10
   Gbps increased $16.9 million, or 27.2%, the sale of ROADM related
   products increased $19.5 million, or 178.5%, and the sale of products
   for CATV applications increased $0.6 million, or 15.0%.

-- Gross margin increased to 34.1% from 31.2% in the preceding quarter and
   22.8% in the first quarter of the prior year.

-- Operating income increased to $23.7 million, or 11.4% of revenues,
   compared to $12.9 million, or 6.9% of revenues, in the preceding
   quarter and an operating loss of $(8.8) million, or (6.8)% of revenues,
   in the first quarter of the prior year.

-- Net income from continuing operations was $19.4 million, or $0.24 per
   diluted share, compared to $14.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share,
   in the preceding quarter and a loss of $(11.1) million, or $(0.18) per
   share, in the first quarter of the prior year.

-- Cash and short-term investments, plus other long-term investments that
   can be readily converted into cash, totaled $192.2 million at the end
   of the first quarter compared to $207.0 million at the end of the
   preceding quarter.  The $14.9 million decrease was primarily related
   to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory of $24.9 million
   and $15.1 million, respectively, partially offset by cash generated
   from operations.  The increase in accounts receivable, which
   represented an increase in days sales outstanding, or DSOs, to 67 days
   compared to 62 days in the prior quarter, was due to the timing of
   shipments during the quarter rather than delays in customer payments.
   The increase in inventory was due in part to expected revenue growth
   in the second quarter.  Finisar has classified certain of its
   investments as long-term based on their scheduled maturities, although
   they can be readily sold if required.

-- Capital expenditures were $12.1 million compared to $10.0 million in
   the preceding quarter and $3.1 million in the first quarter of the
   prior year.

-- Under Finisar's $70.0 million secured credit facility with Wells Fargo
   Foothill, LLC, no borrowings were outstanding and $66.6 million was
   available to borrow at the end of the first quarter.

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides supplemental information regarding its operating performance on a non-GAAP basis. Finisar believes this supplemental information provides investors and management with additional insight into its underlying core operating performance by excluding a number of non-cash and cash charges, as well as infrequently occurring gains or losses principally related to acquisitions, the sale of minority investments, restructuring or other transition activities, impairments and financing transactions. For the first quarter of fiscal 2011, these excluded items related to continuing operations represented net charges of $6.4 million. Excluded charges included $3.3 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses; $1.6 million in non-cash amortization charges related to acquired developed technology and purchased intangibles arising from previous acquisitions; $800,000 representing the difference between cash payments for taxes and the related GAAP tax provision, less non-recurring items; $405,000 in non-cash charges related to slow-moving and excess inventory; and $375,000 in non-cash charges for imputed interest expense on the Company's debt obligations. Other excluded items are as described in Finisar Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Highlights for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 on a non-GAAP basis:

-- Non-GAAP gross margin was 35.2% compared to 32.6% in the preceding
   quarter and 28.8% in the first quarter of the prior year. The
   improvement in gross margin compared to the preceding quarter was due
   primarily to a favorable shift in product mix as a result of the growth
   in revenues from higher speed products and from ROADM related products.
   The improvement compared to the prior year reflects both a favorable
   shift in product mix and a reduction in manufacturing unit costs due to
   higher shipment volumes.

-- Non-GAAP operating expenses were $44.2 million, an increase of $1.0
   million from $43.2 million in the preceding quarter and $10.5 million
   from $33.8 million in the first quarter of the prior year. Operating
   expenses as a percent of revenues declined to 21.3% of revenue in the
   first quarter compared to 22.9% in the preceding quarter and 26.2% in
   the prior year due primarily to the growth in revenues.

-- Non-GAAP operating income was $29.0 million, or 14.0% of revenues, up
   $10.7 million from $18.3 million, or 9.7% of revenues, in the preceding
   quarter, and up $25.7 million from $3.3 million, or 2.5% of revenues,
   in the first quarter of the prior year.

-- Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $25.8 million, or
   $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.7 million, or
   $0.22 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and $1.8 million, or
   $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of the prior year.

-- Non-GAAP EBITDA rose to $37.3 million compared to $26.0 million in the
   preceding quarter and $10.4 million in the first quarter of the prior
   year.

OUTLOOK

The Company indicated that it currently expects revenues for its second fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2010 to be in the range of $215 to $230 million. On a GAAP basis, operating margin is expected to exceed 11.5%. Additional non-cash and infrequently occurring charges excluded in calculating non-GAAP operating income are expected to total approximately $5 to $7 million. As a result, on a non-GAAP basis, operating margin is expected to be in the range of 14% to 15%.

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 non-recurring and infrequently incurred 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); and
-- Reduction in force costs (non-recurring 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:

-- The cost of covering employee and employer tax liabilities
   (non-recurring cash charges) arising from the special investigation
   into our historical stock option granting practices ; and
-- Gain or loss on settlement of lawsuits (non-recurring 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:

-- Amortization of discount on convertible debt and imputed interest
   expense (non-cash charges);
-- 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);
-- Gains and losses on minority investments (infrequently occurring and
   principally non-cash gains and losses related to the disposal of
   investments in other companies and non-cash income or loss from these
   investments accounted for under the equity method);
-- Other miscellaneous income;
-- Foreign exchange transaction losses (gains) (non-recurring and non-cash
   charges); and
-- Differences between cash payable for tax and GAAP provision, less
   non-recurring items.

In calculating non-GAAP income (loss) from discontinued operations and non-GAAP income (loss) from discontinued operations per share in this release, we have also excluded gains on disposal of a product line and disposal of discontinued operations.

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