SECOND FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS
For the second fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2016, Coherent announced net sales of $199.9 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $17.8 million, or $0.73 per diluted share. These results compare to net sales of $203.7 million and net income of $18.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $25.3 million, or $1.04 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $23.4 million, or $0.94 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended April 2, 2016, January 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net income."
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were $190.3 million and net income, on a GAAP basis, was $20.3 million, or $0.84 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $23.9 million, or $0.99 per diluted share.
Ending backlog expected to ship in the next 12 months was $469.3 million at April 2, 2016, compared to a backlog of $370.0 million at January 2, 2016 and a backlog of $315.3 million at April 4, 2015.
As previously announced, on March 16, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Rofin-Sinar Technologies, Inc. ("Rofin"), one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of high-performance industrial laser sources and laser-based solutions and components. The acquisition will be an all-cash transaction at a price of $32.50 per share of Rofin common stock for a total approximate offer value of $942 million before fees and transaction costs. The completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
"Coherent is in the very enviable position of having two game-changing opportunities underway. Our market-enabling solution for OLED manufacturing has contributed to record-shattering orders of nearly $500 million in the second fiscal quarter and includes Linebeam 1000, Linebeam 1500 and UV Blade systems. The capacity these tools provide will help drive a market share inversion between today's LTPS-LCD technology and rigid and flexible OLEDs for mobile display applications. These systems and their long-term service annuity will deliver significant revenue, gross margin and profit dollars to the company," said John Ambroseo, Coherent's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are also very excited by the opportunity to join forces with Rofin, which will greatly enhance our position in materials processing, the world's largest market for lasers and laser-based tools. An intercompany team is actively engaged on how to best support customers, create revenue and cost synergies and finalize the plan for the first 100 days. We anticipate that the transaction will close within 6-9 months from the original announcement. We believe these opportunities will generate strong cash flow and we intend to use it to aggressively retire the acquisition financing," Ambroseo added.
Coherent ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $361.1 million, an increase of $24.9 million from cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $336.2 million at January 2, 2016.
