SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwired - September 05, 2013) - Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optic communications, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2013.
COMMENTARY
"I am pleased to report first quarter revenues were $266.1 million, an all-time record for Finisar. This was an increase of $22.7 million, or 9.3%, over the prior quarter and an increase of $45.5 million, or 20.7% over the first quarter of the prior year. Revenues exceeded the guidance of $245 million to $260 million that we provided early in the first quarter and grew for the fourth consecutive quarter. The growth in revenues in the first quarter came primarily from increased sales of 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet transceivers for datacom applications. As a result of these higher than expected revenues, a favorable product mix and operating leverage, we also were able to achieve gross margin and earnings per diluted share that exceeded our original guidance range," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board.
"During the quarter, we continued to invest significantly in technology and product development. Our new products for 100 gigabit parallel and serial applications for either single mode and multi mode fiber applications continue to have strong customer demand. We also expect our new platform of high density dual and single WSS will extend our leadership in the WSS market in both the component and ROADM linecard form," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer.

Financial Statement Highlights for the first quarter of fiscal 2014:
- Revenues increased to $266.1 million, up $22.7 million, or 9.3%, from $243.4 million in the preceding quarter primarily driven by strength in sales of datacom products.
- The sale of products for datacom applications increased by $20.5 million, or 12.5%, over the preceding quarter and the sale of products for telecom applications increased by $2.2 million, or 2.7%, over the preceding quarter.
- Adjusted to reflect the elimination of recently divested businesses, revenues were approximately 12% greater than the preceding quarter.
- Gross margin increased to 34.3% on a GAAP basis from 27.7% in the preceding quarter primarily as the result of higher revenues, a favorable product mix and operating leverage.
- Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 35.1% from 32.2% in the preceding quarter.
- GAAP operating income increased $26.7 million to $27.1 million, or 10.2% of revenues, compared to $0.4 million, or 0.2% of revenues in the preceding quarter, primarily as the result of increased revenues and the improvement in gross margin.
- Non-GAAP operating income increased $12.4 million to $32.4 million, or 12.2% of revenues, compared to $20.0 million, or 8.2% of revenues, in the preceding quarter.

FINISAR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides 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 which occur relatively infrequently and which management considers to be outside our core operating results. Some of these non-GAAP measures also exclude the ongoing impact of historical business decisions made in different business and economic environments. Management believes that tracking non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our 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:
- 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);
- Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges);
- Impairment of acquired developed technology and other long-lived assets (non-cash charges);
- Acquisition method accounting adjustment for sale of acquired inventory (non-cash charges);
- Flood-related expense (non-recurring cash charge);
- Reduction in force costs (non-recurring cash charges); and
- Acquisition related retention payments (non-recurring 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:
- Gain or loss on litigation settlements and resolutions and related costs (non-recurring cash charges or benefits);
- Shareholder class action and derivative litigation costs (non-recurring cash expenses 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-recurring cash charges);
- Amortization of purchased intangibles (non-cash charges);
- Gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration liability (non-cash benefit); and
- Impairment of purchased intangibles and other long-lived assets.
In calculating non-GAAP income and non-GAAP income per share in this release, we have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:
- Interest income from legal settlements (non-recurring benefit);
- Imputed interest related to restructuring (non-cash charges);
- Gains and losses on sales of assets (non-recurring or non-cash losses and cash gains related to the periodic disposal of assets no longer required for current activities);
- Gains and losses related to minority investments (non-cash or non-recurring benefits or charges);
- Other miscellaneous expenses (income) (non-recurring charges or benefits);
- Dollar denominated foreign exchange transaction losses (gains) (non-cash charges or benefits);
- Non-controlling interest non-GAAP adjustment (non-cash and/or non-recurring charges or benefits attributable to the non-controlling interest in majority-controlled subsidiaries); and
- Differences between cash payable for income taxes and the provision for income taxes in accordance with GAAP, less discrete items.
In calculating non-GAAP income per share in this release, we have included the shares issuable upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes and excluded the interest expenses associated with such notes in such periods where such treatment is dilutive to non-GAAP income (loss) per share.
