Finisar Corporation Announces First Quarter Financial Results

Retires Additional Notes Following Completion of Exchange Offer


SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - September 10, 2009) - Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for fiber optic subsystems and components for communication applications, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2009. In an earlier announcement dated August 4, 2009, Finisar indicated that its preliminary revenues for the quarter, including revenues from the operations of the Network Tools Division prior to its sale, would total approximately $134 million. Final revenues for the quarter totaled $135.5 million including $6.7 million from the operations of the Network Tools Division. In reporting financial results for the first quarter, the Company noted that current quarter results and previously reported periods have been adjusted to reflect the following:

--  During the three months ended August 2, 2009, the Company completed
    the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Network Tools Division
    to JDS Uniphase Corporation. Accordingly, the operating results of this
    business, through the date of its disposition and for all applicable prior
    periods are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed
    consolidated financial statements for the period ended August 2, 2009, and
    the prior period comparative financial statements have been restated to
    exclude assets, liabilities and results of operations (including revenues,
    associated cost of goods sold and operating expenses) related to the
    discontinued operations; and
    
--  Effective at the beginning of the first quarter, the Company adopted
    FSP APB 14-1 under which the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments
    that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately
    account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components
    of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible
    debt borrowing rate. The separation of the conversion option creates an
    original issue discount in the bond component which is to be accreted as
    interest expense over the term of the instrument using the interest method,
    resulting in an increase in interest expense and a decrease in net income
    and earnings per share.  Due to the modification of $100 million of the
    Company's 2.5% convertible notes in October 2006, the Company has accounted
    for the debt and equity components of the notes to reflect the estimated
    nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance of 8.59%.
    Because FSP APB 14-1 requires retrospective application of the financial
    statement for all periods presented, prior period balances have been
    restated to effectively record a debt discount equal to the fair value of
    the equity component and an increase to paid-in capital for the fair value
    of the equity component as of the date of issuance of the underlying
    notes.  Prior period balances have also been adjusted to provide for the
    amortization of the debt discount through interest expense (non-cash
    interest cost).

(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 quarter per GAAP include the following:

--  Total optics revenues increased to $128.7 million, up $21.3 million,
    or 19.8%, from $107.5 million in the preceding quarter and up $13.0
    million, or 11.2%, from $115.8 million in the first quarter of the prior
    year; the increase from the first quarter of the prior year includes the
    impact of the Optium merger completed on August 29, 2008;
    
--  Excluding approximately $28.8 million of additional revenues in the
    quarter as a result of the Optium merger, optics revenues were $99.9
    million, up $17.6 million, or 21.3% from $82.3 million in the preceding
    quarter and down $15.9 million, or 13.7%, from $115.7 million in the first
    quarter of the prior year prior to the merger (a revenue record for the
    Company at that time); Revenues from the sale of products for 10/40 Gbps
    applications increased to $51.9 million, up $11.3 million, or 27.8%, from
    $40.6 million in the preceding quarter and up $19.7 million, or 61.1%, from
    $32.2 million in the first quarter of the prior year primarily due to the
    Optium merger;
    
--  Gross margin from continuing operations was 22.8%, an increase from
    21.6% in the preceding quarter and a decrease from 35.2% in the first
    quarter of the prior year;
    
--  Operating loss from continuing operations was $8.8 million, or (6.8)%
    of revenues, compared to an operating loss of $10.9 million, or (10.1)% of
    revenues in the preceding quarter (before a charge for the impairment of
    goodwill and current technology) and operating income of $7.9 million, or
    6.8% of revenues, in the first quarter of the prior year;
    
--  A loss of $11.1 million, or $(0.02) per share, from continuing
    operations compared to a loss of $27.0 million, or $(0.06) per share, in
    the preceding quarter including a $13.2 million charge for the impairment
    of goodwill and current technology in the preceding quarter, and income of
    $2.9 million, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of the prior year;
    
--  Income net of taxes from discontinued operations was $37.1 million, or
    $.07 per diluted share, reflecting the gain on the sale of the assets of
    the Network Tools Division in the quarter and compared to $1.2 million, or
    $0.00 per share, in the preceding quarter and a loss of $125,000, or
    $(0.00) per share, in the first quarter of the prior year; and
    
--  Cash and short-term investments, plus other long-term investments that
    can be readily converted into cash, totaled $60.4 million at the end of the
    first quarter compared to $37.2 million at the end of the prior quarter
    reflecting the sale of the Network Tools business in the quarter for $40.6
    million in cash and the lack of sales of accounts receivable under the
    Company's credit accounts receivable credit facility which sales totaled
    $15.7 million in the prior quarter. The Company continues to maintain a
    secured credit facility totaling $45.0 million under which $3.4 million was
    used for letters of credit while no borrowings were outstanding at the end
    of the quarter.   Finisar has classified certain of its investments as long-
    term based on its intent to hold these securities until maturity, although
    they can be readily sold if required.
    

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 additional 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 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 2010, these excluded items included, among other items described in Finisar Non-GAAP Financial Measures below, a non-cash charge of $5.3 million for slow moving and obsolete inventory; $4.2 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense; $1.9 million in non-cash amortization charges related to acquired developed technology and purchased intangibles arising from previous acquisitions; and a $1.2 million non-cash charge for imputed interest expense on the Company's debt obligations, offset by non-recurring gains of $36.0 million from the sale of the Network Tools division and $1.6 million from the sale of minority investments in two separate entities.

Excluding these items:

--  Non-GAAP gross margin from continuing operations increased to 28.8%
    compared to 27.2% in the preceding quarter but decreased from 36.6% in the
    first quarter of the prior year.  The sequential increase in non-GAAP gross
    margin reflects the impact of higher product shipment levels and the
    incremental contribution margin thereon, while the decrease compared to the
    prior year reflects the impact of lower revenues and lower yields
    associated with making certain of our higher speed components as well as
    the impact of the Optium merger ahead of additional manufacturing cost
    synergies expected to be realized over the next three quarters;
    
--  Non-GAAP operating expenses related to continuing operations were
    $33.8 million in the first quarter, an increase of $2.9 million, or 9.5%,
    from the preceding quarter and an increase of $2.8 million, or 9.1%, from
    the first quarter of the prior year.  The increase in operating expenses
    from the preceding quarter reflects $1.3 million in higher research and
    development expenses, $0.8 million related to higher sales and marketing
    expense on higher revenue levels and $0.8 million in higher general and
    administrative expense primarily related to an increase in the estimated
    allowance for doubtful accounts.  The increase as compared to the prior
    year was primarily a result of the Optium merger, which is not reflected in
    the prior year results. In this regard, the Company notes that Optium's
    operating expenses in the same prior year period prior to the merger
    totaled approximately $11.5 million whereas total Company operating
    expenses in the most recent quarter increased just $2.8 million from the
    prior year period;
    
--  Non-GAAP operating income from continuing operations was $3.3 million,
    or 2.5% of revenues, up $4.9 million from an operating loss of $1.6
    million, or (1.5%) of revenues, in the preceding quarter, and down $8.1
    million from operating income of $11.4 million, or 9.9% of revenues, in the
    first quarter of the prior year.  The increase in operating income from the
    previous quarter was due primarily to higher gross profit levels on higher
    revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses.  The decline from
    the prior year was primarily related to lower gross profit levels and
    higher operating expenses resulting from the Optium merger;
    
--  Non-GAAP income from continuing operations was $1.8 million, or $0.00
    per share, compared to a loss of $3.4 million, or $(0.01) per share, in the
    preceding quarter and net income of $9.0 million, or $0.03 per share, in
    the first quarter of the prior year;
    
--  Non-GAAP EBITDA from continuing operations was $10.4 million as
    compared to$6.1 million in the preceding quarter and $17.5 million in the
    first quarter of the prior year; and
    
--  Non-GAAP income from discontinued operations was $0.7 million, or
    $0.00 per share, as compared to $1.9 million, or $0.00 per share in the
    preceding quarter and $2.0 million, or $0.01 per share, in the first
    quarter of the prior year.
    

"Order trends continue to underscore healthy customer demand for ROADMs and products capable of transmitting at 10 Gbps for use in datacom and telecom applications," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board. "I was also pleased to see the first orders arrive and revenue recognized for our QuadWire™ product for 40 Gbps parallel optics applications. This product marks our first foray into that new market for us."

"While gross margins for optics were up from last quarter and a little better than we expected, we can look for additional improvement in the near term as our top line continues to improve, product mix turns favorable and additional synergies are realized with respect to manufacturing costs," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer.

ADDITIONAL CONVERTIBLE NOTE REDUCTIONS FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF EXCHANGE OFFER

The Company also announced that, following the completion of an exchnage offer on August 6, 2009, where it retired $47.5 million in principal amount of its convertible subordinated notes due October 15, 2010, that it had retired an additional $15.2 million principal value of its notes in an all cash, privately negotiated transaction.

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, 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);
--  Duplicate facility costs during facility move (non-recurring charges);
--  Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges);
--  Options investigation costs included in general and administrative
    expense (non-recurring cash charges related to the special investigation
    into our historical stock option granting practices) and the cost of
    covering employee and employer tax liabilities (non-recurring cash charges)
    arising from that investigation recorded in each line of the income
    statement;
--  Purchase accounting adjustment for sale of acquired inventory (non-
    cash and non-recurring charges);
--  Impairment of acquired developed technology (non-cash charges); and
--  Reduction in force costs (non-recurring charges).
    

In calculating non-GAAP operating income (loss), 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:

    
--  Disposal of a product line (non-recurring charges);
--  Acquired in-process research and development expense (non-recurring
    and non-cash charges);
--  Litigation settlement payments (non-recurring charges);
--  Amortization of purchased intangibles (non-cash charges related to
    prior acquisitions); and
--  Impairment charges associated with intangible assets (non-cash and non-
    recurring).
    

In calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, we have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:

--  Amortization of discount on convertible debt (non-cash charges);
--  Gains and losses on debt extinguishment (non-recurring and non-cash
    charges or income);
--  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);
--  Foreign exchange transaction loss (non-recurring and non-cash
    charges);
--  Tax charges arising from timing difference related to asset purchases
    (non-cash provision); and
--  Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (non-recurring and
    non-cash charges or income).
    

In calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, in each case from discontinued operations, we have also excluded gain on disposal of discontinued operations (non-recurring gain).

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