2017 THIRD FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS
For the third fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2017, Coherent announced net sales of $464.1 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $61.1 million, or $2.46 per diluted share. These results compare to net sales of $218.8 million and net income of $18.7 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $83.4 million, or $3.36 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $26.2 million, or $1.07 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended July 1, 2017, April 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016, and the nine months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net income."
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were $422.8 million and net income, on a GAAP basis, was $41.8 million, or $1.69 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $72.1 million, or $2.91 per diluted share.
As previously announced, on November 7, 2016, Coherent completed its acquisition of 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. As a result, Rofin's operating results were consolidated for the period from November 7, 2016 through December 31, 2016 in Coherent's first fiscal quarter results ended December 31, 2016, and a full quarter of Rofin's operating results in Coherent's second and third fiscal quarter results ended April 1, 2017 and July 1, 2017.
"We had another record-setting result in our most recent quarter and demand remains buoyant. We booked a significant number of large format (i.e., Gen 5 or Gen 6) ELA tools for OLED manufacturing. Utilization within OLED fabs is very high and with more installations moving into the service pool, ELA service orders and revenues continue to climb. The outlook for FPD is bright with multiple new fabs having been announced or in the late stages of planning. These new fabs will drive business predominantly in FY19 and beyond. We will be prepared to satisfy the delivery schedule since we have started our previously announced facility expansions. The overall materials processing business continues to perform well. Most notably, we had very good traction during Q3 for high-power (i.e., 1-8 kilowatts) fiber lasers in battery welding for electric vehicles and metal cutting. The pipeline is strong and outstrips our current capacity, which necessitates expansions in our diode packaging and fiber laser integration and testing operations. The additional capacity will be staged over the next year," said John Ambroseo, Coherent's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We had another quarter of strong cash flow and we made a voluntary €45 million principal prepayment on our debt. Using excess cash flow to pay down the debt will remain a priority," Ambroseo added.
CONFERENCE CALL REMINDER
The Company will host a conference call today to discuss its financial results at 1:30 P.M. Pacific (4:30 P.M. Eastern). A listen-only broadcast of the conference call and a transcript of management's prepared remarks can be accessed on the Company's website at http://www.coherent.com/Investors/.
