Finisar Announces Fifth Consecutive Quarter of Revenue GrowthSUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwired - December 05, 2013) - Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optic communications, today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended October 27, 2013.
COMMENTARY
"I am pleased to report second quarter revenues were $290.7 million, a new all-time record for Finisar. Revenues increased by $24.7 million, or 9.3%, over the first quarter and $58.7 million, or 25.3%, over the second quarter of the prior year. Revenues grew for the fifth consecutive quarter. This quarter's revenue growth came from both datacom and telecom products," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board.
"During the quarter, we continued to make significant strides in new product development that we believe will drive future revenue growth. For example, we demonstrated our new 100Gbps CFP4 Ethernet transceiver for short reach datacom applications. This transceiver provides 75% greater face plate density and 80% less power consumption than our original CFP," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer.

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);
- Acquisition method accounting adjustment for sale of acquired inventory (non-cash charges);
- 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); 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:
- 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);
- Debt extinguishment loss (non-cash charges);
- 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.
A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP information is set forth below:
