Forward-Looking Statements

“Safe Harbor” Statement Under U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include: (1) statements regarding our expectation that revenue and EPS for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 will moderate from our performance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, as well as our expectation that we will have success in fiscal year 2020 and beyond; and (2) all of the statements under the “Business Outlook” section regarding our expected revenue, GAAP andnon-GAAP net income per share, and fully diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: less customer demand for our products and services than forecasted; less growth in the optical communications, industrial lasers and sensors markets than we forecast; difficulties expanding into additional markets, such as the semiconductor processing, biotechnology, metrology and materials processing markets; increased competition in the optical manufacturing services markets; difficulties in delivering products and services that compete effectively from a price and performance perspective; our reliance on a small number of customers and suppliers; difficulties in managing our operating costs; difficulties in managing and operating our business across multiple countries (including Thailand, the People’s Republic of China, the U.S. and the U.K.); and other important factors as described in reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the factors described under the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, filed on May 7, 2019. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Use ofNon-GAAP Financials

We refer to thenon-GAAP financial measures cited above in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our ongoing operational performance.Non-GAAP net income excludes: share-based compensation expenses; depreciation of fair value uplift; ASC 606 adoption impact on gross profit; severance payments; expenses related to our CFO/CEO search; amortization of intangibles; business combination expenses and consulting fee; amortization of debt issuance costs; and expenses related to reduction in workforce. We have excluded these items in order to enhance investors’ understanding of our underlying operations. The use of thesenon-GAAP financial measures has material limitations because they should not be used to evaluate our company without reference to their corresponding GAAP financial measures. As such, we compensate for these material limitations by using thesenon-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

Thesenon-GAAP financial measures are used to: (1) measure company performance against historical results, (2) facilitate comparisons to our competitors’ operating results, and (3) allow greater transparency with respect to information used by management in making financial and operational decisions. In addition, thesenon-GAAP financial measures are used to measure company performance for the purposes of determining employee incentive plan compensation.
