Finisar Announces Third Fiscal Quarter 2016 Financial Results
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - March 10, 2016) - Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optic communications, today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2016, ended January 31, 2016.
/EINPresswire.com/ -- COMMENTARY
"Revenues for our third fiscal quarter were $309.2 million, approximately in line with the midpoint of our prior guidance range for the quarter of $300 to $320 million. Better than expected gross margins, due to favorable product mix, as well as lower than expected operating and other expenses, resulted in earnings per fully diluted share at the upper end of our prior 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 Third Quarter of Fiscal 2016:
- Revenues were $309.2 million, a decrease of $11.9 million, or (3.7)%, from $321.1 million in the preceding quarter.
- Sales of products for telecom applications increased by $2.6 million, or 2.9%, compared to the preceding quarter, primarily driven by growth in wavelength selective switches.
- Sales of products for datacom applications decreased by $14.5 million, or (6.2)%, compared to the preceding quarter, primarily driven by a decline in 40 gigabit transceivers, primarily as the result of reduced levels of capital spending by web 2.0 and hyperscale data center customers in anticipation of the roll out of next generation 100G QSFP28 transceivers.
- GAAP gross margin was 28.4% compared to 27.7% in the preceding quarter.
- Non-GAAP gross margin improved to 30.3% compared to 30.0% in the prior quarter as favorable product mix more than offset the impact of one month of annual telecom price negotiations, which typically take effect on January 1.
- GAAP operating expenses were $77.3 million compared to $79.7 million in the prior quarter.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses were $67.3 million compared to $68.0 million in the prior quarter.
- GAAP earnings per fully diluted share was $0.11 compared to $0.06 in the preceding quarter.
- Non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share was $0.25 compared to $0.25 in the preceding quarter.
- Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments increased $10.3 million to $531.1 million at the end of the third quarter, compared to $520.8 million at the end of the preceding quarter.
OUTLOOK
The Company indicated that for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 it currently expects revenues in the range of $307 to $327 million, non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 30%, non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 8.2% to 9.2%, and non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted share in the range of approximately $0.22 to $0.28.

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 the Company'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 or non-cash benefits);
- 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); 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);
- 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);
- Amortization of debt issuance costs (non-cash charges); and
- Differences between cash payable for income taxes and the provision for income taxes in accordance with GAAP, less discrete items.
A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP information is set forth below:
