Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 31, 2005, Avanex Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting its results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2004. The press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company provides pro forma cost of revenue, pro forma operating expenses, pro forma gross margins, pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share as additional information regarding its operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and its future prospects. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures contain useful supplementary information to investors by identifying certain items that, when excluded from the GAAP results, may provide a better or more complete understanding of the Company’s core operating results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to supersede or replace the Company’s GAAP results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the GAAP results is provided in the financial tables. The Company’s management also uses this non-GAAP information and a variety of other measures in connection with evaluating, planning and operating the business because it believes that this additional information provides a more complete picture of the Company’s operating performance.
