Record Quarterly Revenue of $81.6 Million, Sequential Growth of 5.3%

Sequential 40/100G Revenue Growth of 22.9%

Sequential Cash and Cash Equivalents Increased by $7.2 million

Announced Agreement to Acquire EMCOREs Tunable Laser Product Line

Awarded Fourth Consecutive Annual Excellent Core Partner Award by Huawei

SAN JOSE, CA  November 10, 2014  NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of photonic integrated circuits, or PIC, based optoelectronic modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications networks, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2014.��

We are pleased to announce that we again achieved record revenue this quarter.��Our previously announced profit improvement actions are taking hold and moved us into non-GAAP profitability. We expect to operate in a manner focused on our path to profitability; managing expenses tightly, and continuing to operate so as to strengthen our balance sheet, said Tim Jenks, NeoPhotonics Chairman and CEO. Equally important, we believe our product focus on 100G, enhanced by our pending acquisition of EMCOREs tunable laser product line, positions us to be a major contributor to this expanding market segment, and therefore benefit from the accelerating worldwide deployments of 100G systems, continued Mr. Jenks.
