Finisar Announces Record First Fiscal Quarter Revenues

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwired - September 08, 2016) - Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optic communications, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2017, ended July 31, 2016.

COMMENTARY

"I am pleased to announce that Finisar achieved record revenues for our first quarter of $341.3 million, an increase of $22.5 million, or 7.1% compared to the prior quarter. This growth was primarily driven by strong demand for 100Gb/s transceivers in CFP, CFP2, CFP4, and QSFP28 form factors. In addition, demand for wavelength selective switches was strong. Our gross margins improved significantly due to favorable product mix and leverage of our vertically integrated manufacturing infrastructure over the larger volume. The combination of revenues being at the higher end of our guidance range and better than expected gross margins resulted in earnings per fully diluted share exceeding the upper end of our guidance range," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer.

(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 of Finisar's core ongoing 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.

Financial Statement Highlights for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2017:


--  Revenues were $341.3 million, an increase of $22.5 million, or 7.1%,
    from $318.8 million in the preceding quarter.


--  Sales of telecom products increased by $22.0 million, or 29.0%, compared
    to the preceding quarter. This increase was due to higher sales of
    wavelength selective switches, coherent receivers, and 100G
    transceivers, as well as a rebound in demand for other telecom products
    including amplifiers and 10G transceivers, both tunable and fixed
    wavelength.


--  Sales of datacom products increased by $0.5 million, or 0.2%, compared
    to the preceding quarter, primarily driven by growth in demand for 100G
    transceivers including CFP, CFP2, CFP4, and QSFP28 form factors,
    partially offset by a decline in sales of transceivers for wireless
    applications and 40G transceivers. Datacom revenue, excluding
    transceivers for wireless applications, increased 3.1% over the
    preceding quarter. Sales of 100G transceivers for datacom applications
    increased 21.8% over the preceeding quarter, and 115.8% over the first
    quarter of the prior fiscal year.


--  GAAP gross margin improved to 31.7%, compared to 28.4% in the preceding
    quarter, primarily due to favorable product mix and the benefit of
    vertical integration over the larger volume.


--  Non-GAAP gross margin improved to 33.1% compared to 30.6% in the
    preceding quarter.


--  GAAP operating expenses were $79.9 million compared to $76.3 million in
    the preceding quarter. The increase was due to higher payroll taxes from
    the annual vesting of employee restricted stock unit grants, higher
    legal expenses from two patent trials completed in the quarter, and
    higher employee compensation levels. GAAP operating expenses as a
    percentage of revenue decreased to approximately 23.4% of revenue
    compared to 23.9% in the preceding quarter.


--  Non-GAAP operating expenses increased to $69.3 million compared to $66.2
    million in the preceding quarter. Non-GAAP operating expenses as a
    percentage of revenue decreased to approximately 20.3% of revenue
    compared to 20.8% in the preceding quarter.


--  GAAP operating margin improved to 8.3% from 4.4% in the preceding
    quarter.


--  Non-GAAP operating margin improved to 12.8% from 9.8% in the preceding
    quarter.


--  GAAP earnings per fully diluted share was $0.22 compared to $0.12 in the
    preceding quarter, primarily due to higher revenues levels and improved
    gross margins.


--  Non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share was $0.38 compared to $0.29 in
    the preceding quarter.


--  Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments increased $31.3
    million to $593.8 million at the end of the first quarter, compared to
    $562.5 million at the end of the preceding quarter.

OUTLOOK

Finisar indicated that for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 it currently expects revenues in the range of $355 to $375 million, non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 34%, non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 14.3% to 15.3%, and non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share in the range of approximately $0.44 to $0.50.

Finisar has not provided a reconciliation of its second quarter outlook for non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share because estimates of all of the reconciling items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts. It is difficult to reasonably provide a forward-looking estimate of certain reconciling items between such non-GAAP forward-looking measures and the comparable forward-looking GAAP measures. Certain factors that are materially significant to Finisar's ability to estimate these items are out of its control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, including with respect to restructuring charges, litigation settlements and resolutions and related costs, and the timing of tax related adjustments. Accordingly, a reconciliation of such non-GAAP forward-looking measures to the comparable forward-looking GAAP measures are not available within a reasonable range of predictability.

CONFERENCE CALL

Finisar will discuss its financial results for the first quarter and current business outlook during its regular quarterly conference call scheduled for Thursday, September 8, 2016, at 2:00 pm PT (5:00 pm ET).

FINISAR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income and non-GAAP net income per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental information regarding Finisar's operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or that occur relatively infrequently and/or that management considers to be outside of our ongoing core operating results. Management believes that tracking non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our ongoing core 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 certain 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 in this release:


--  Changes in excess and obsolete inventory reserve (predominantly non-cash
    charges);
--  Amortization of acquired technology (non-cash charges related to
    technology obtained in acquisitions);
--  Duplicate facility costs during facility move (non-core cash charges);
--  Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges);
--  Impairment of long-lived assets (non-cash charges);
--  Reduction in force costs (non-core cash charges); and
--  Acquisition related retention payments (non-core cash 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 in this release:


--  Gain or loss on litigation settlements and resolutions and related costs
    (non-core cash charges or benefits);
--  Shareholder class action and derivative litigation costs (non-core cash
    charges associated with the derivative litigation related to our
    historical stock option granting practices and related to the class
    action and derivative litigation related to our March 8, 2011 earnings
    announcement);
--  Acquisition related costs (non-core cash charges);
--  Unclaimed property tax audit accrual (non-core charges); and
--  Amortization of purchased intangibles (non-cash charges).

In calculating non-GAAP income and non-GAAP income per share in this release, we have also excluded the following items in applicable periods in this release:


--  Imputed interest expenses on convertible debt (non-cash charges);
--  Imputed interest related to restructuring (non-cash charges);
--  Other interest income (non-core benefits);
--  Gains and losses on sales of assets (non-cash losses and cash gains
    related to the periodic disposal of assets no longer required for
    current activities);
--  Other miscellaneous expenses (income) (non-core charges or benefits);
--  Dollar denominated foreign exchange transaction losses (gains) (non-cash
    charges or benefits); and
--  Amortization of debt issuance costs (non-cash charges).

In addition, in this release we have adjusted non-GAAP income and non-GAAP income per share for the difference between GAAP income taxes and non-GAAP income taxes.

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