*This press release includes references to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and gross margin, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in this press release in the accompanying tables. A more complete explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
Management Comments
Jim Gaynor, President and Chief Executive Officer of LightPath, commented, "Our strategy to organically grow certain of our product groups and our profitability enhancing initiatives announced in February 2015 have resulted in a strong financial performance and good cash flow generation in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In addition, during the quarter we continued working towards completing the proposed acquisition of ISP Optics Corporation, which we believe will be transformative for LightPath. We believe this acquisition will significantly add to our global scale and scope and have financial benefits both in the long and short term."
"We expect ISP to materially strengthen our global presence with leading diamond turning and polishing capabilities for custom optics which we do not presently possess and accelerate growth of our infrared product group through its more comprehensive infrared technologies. The acquisition will have the effect of combining two leading companies with complementary businesses that have the potential for meaningful sales, marketing and product development synergies."
"Our employees have diligently focused on completing the ISP acquisition while not losing sight of the Company's fundamental objectives. Our revenue continues to increase above our ten-year historical range, which we believe is a testament to our demand creation model and the strengthening of our global brand for high value molded optics. Our revenue growth was very encouraging in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 since we did not have meaningful contributions from our specialty products group and non-recurring engineering projects. These product groups are substantial components of our consolidated annual revenues but are less recurring in nature, with respect to non-recurring engineering projects, or represent newer product platforms, in the case of our specialty products group, so their quarterly contributions to revenue may vary."
Mr. Gaynor continued, "From a broader perspective, we believe we have benefited from long-term growth drivers including increased demand in telecommunications, growth in industrial tools due to the Chinese stimulus in construction and the commercialization of infrared products and the successful execution of our strategy to diversify our product lines and end markets. In turn, we believe we have increased our market share taking market share from other manufacturers. We remain committed to investing in our products and processes which enable us to deliver high volumes of industry-leading quality lenses at comparatively low cost."
"Beyond our revenue growth and marketing progress, we continue to deliver improvements in profitability. Our gross margins have been trending higher and improved to 57% in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Our improved gross margin allows us to manage our costs against a decline in the average selling prices of our products due to market pressures. We believe we are positioned well for continued growth both organically and through acquisitions."
Financial Results for Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was approximately $5.0 million, an increase of approximately $810,000, or 19%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase from the first quarter of the prior fiscal year is attributable to an 80% increase in revenues generated by sales of our high volume precision molded optics ("HVPMO") lenses, a 41% increase in revenues generated by our infrared lenses, and a 16% increase in revenues generated by sales of our low volume precision molded optics ("LVPMO") lenses and, partially offset by a 32% decrease in revenues from specialty products and a 5% decrease in revenues from non-recurring engineering ("NRE") projects. The decrease in revenues generated by our specialty product group was due to the absence of approximately $335,000 of revenues generated in the first quarter of the prior year due to fiber collimator assemblies sold to a customer pursuant to a license agreement, which we did not generate this year.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was 57%, compared to 54% in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The improvement in gross margin is attributed to increased revenues from our HVPMO products with a higher average selling price, leverage borne out of higher sales volume against fixed manufacturing overhead expenses and better yields for infrared products. Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $2.8 million, compared to $2.3 million in the prior year period, an increase of 22%. Total cost of sales was approximately $2.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, an increase of approximately $228,000, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The 12% increase in cost of sales favorably compares to the 19% increase in revenue to deliver the improved gross margin.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, total costs and expenses were approximately $2.4 million, an increase of approximately $856,000 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to: (i) a $484,000 increase in expenses related to the acquisition of ISP, (ii) a $55,000 increase in travel expenses, (iii) a $49,000 increase in stock compensation expense related to the immediate vesting of restricted stock units upon a former director's resignation from the board, (iv) a $49,000 increase in legal and auditing fee expenses, (v) a $64,000 increase in R&D wages, (vi) a $65,000 increase in materials used for engineering projects to expand and enhance our existing products and (vii) an $89,000 increase in other expenses. Excluding the costs we expect to incur in the future related to the acquisition of ISP, we expect SG&A costs to decrease slightly during the remainder of fiscal 2017, and return to more normal levels.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we recognized non-cash income of approximately $44,000 related to the change in the fair value of warrants issued in connection with the June 2012 private placement. In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we recognized non-cash income of approximately $368,000 related to the change in the fair value of these warrants. The applicable accounting rules for the warrant liability requires the recognition of either non-cash expense or non-cash income, which has a significant correlation to the change in the market value of our common stock for the period being reported and the assumptions on when the warrants will be exercised. The likelihood of exercise increases as the expiration date of the warrant approaches. The warrants have a five-year life and will expire in December 2017. The fair value will be re-measured each reporting period until the warrants are exercised or expire.
Income tax expense was approximately $265,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, an increase of $263,000 from the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Although we have net operating loss ("NOL") carry forward benefits of $86 million against net income as reported on a consolidated basis in the United States, the NOL does not apply to taxable income from foreign subsidiaries. The increase in income tax expense in fiscal 2017 was primarily attributable to income taxes associated with our Chinese operations. We utilized all NOL carryforwards in China during fiscal 2016. Accordingly, we are now accruing income taxes in China related to such operations. Our Chinese subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China, which is applicable to privately run and foreign invested enterprises, and which generally subjects such enterprises to a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $140,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share, which includes non-cash income of approximately $44,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share, for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability, compared with net income of approximately $843,000, or $0.06 per basic and $0.05 per diluted common share, which includes non-cash income of approximately $368,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted common share, for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability for the same period in fiscal 2016. Our net income was negatively affected by the increase in our selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, as compared to the prior year period, which increase included approximately $484,000 as a result of expenses incurred related to the proposed acquisition of ISP. Adjusted net income, which is adjusted for the effect of the non-cash change in the fair value of the warrant liability, decreased to approximately $97,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, as compared to $475,000 in the same period of fiscal 2016.
The Company had foreign currency exchange expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 due to changes in the value of the Chinese yuan in the amount of approximately $36,000, which had no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share. This compares to foreign currency exchange expense of $176,000, with a $0.01 impact on income per share in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Weighted-average basic and diluted common shares outstanding increased to 15,616,855 and 17,152,771, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 from 15,239,366 and 16,542,934, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase was primarily due to shares of common stock issued under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and exercises of stock options and warrants.
EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was approximately $662,000 compared to approximately $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The difference in EBITDA between periods was principally caused by higher non-cash income in the fair value of the June 2012 warrant liability. Adjusted EBITDA, which eliminates the non-cash income or expense related to the change in fair value of the June 2012 warrant liability, was approximately $618,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared with approximately $671,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year EBITDA was negatively affected in fiscal 2017 due primarily to the recognition of higher non-cash income as a result of the fair value of the June 2012 warrant liability, and the increase in our SG&A costs, which included approximately $484,000 as a result of expenses incurred related to the proposed acquisition of ISP.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $3.6 million as of September 30, 2016, a 23% increase from June 30, 2016. Cash flow provided by operations was approximately $922,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, compared with $897,000 in the prior year. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we expended approximately $387,000 for capital equipment while growing our cash balance, as compared to $285,000 in the same period last year. The current ratio as of September 30, 2016 was 3.3 to 1, compared to 3.5 to 1 as of June 30, 2016. Total stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2016 was approximately $11.4 million, a 4% increase compared to approximately $10.9 million as of June 30, 2016.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company's 12-month backlog was $5.8 million, compared to $6.6 million as of June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 12%. This lower backlog resulted from a delay in anticipated orders for some bookings forecasted in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and an increase in shipments of orders received and shipped within the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and gross margin, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, see the tables provided in this press release.
A "non-GAAP financial measure" is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze our underlying business operations and understand our performance. In addition, management may utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting, and planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
We calculate EBITDA by adjusting net income (loss) to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation, and amortization. Similarly, we calculate adjusted EBITDA by adjusting net income (loss) to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit depreciation, amortization, the change in the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the private placement in June 2012.
The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the private placement in 2012 is re-measured each reporting period until the warrants are exercised or expire. Each reporting period, the change in the fair value of these warrants is either recognized as non-cash expense or non-cash income. The change in the fair value of the warrants has a significant correlation to the change in the market value of our common stock for the period being reported and is not impacted by actual operations during such period. We believe that by excluding the change in the fair value of these warrants enhances the ability of investors to analyze and better understand the underlying business operations and performance.
We calculate adjusted net income by adjusting net income (loss) to exclude the change in the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the private placement in June 2012.
We calculate gross margin by deducting the cost of sales from operating revenue. Cost of sales includes manufacturing direct and indirect labor, materials, services, fixed costs for rent, utilities and depreciation, and variable overhead. Gross margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, which is determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that gross margin, although a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful and meaningful to investors as a basis for making investment decisions. It provides investors with information that demonstrates cost structure and provides funds for our total costs and expenses. We use gross margin in measuring the performance of its business and has historically analyzed and reported gross margin information publicly. Other companies may calculate gross margin in a different manner.

Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may or could, have a disproportionally positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Our management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze our underlying business operations and understand our performance. In addition, our management may utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting, and planning. Any analysis on non-GAAP financial measures should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is presented in the tables below.
