THIRD FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS
For the third fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2010, Coherent announced record net sales of $166.7 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $14.4 million ($0.57 per diluted share). These results compare to net sales of $98.5 million and net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.29 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $16.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $2.2 million, or $0.09 per share. Please see the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results included at the end of our release.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were $149.2 million and net income, on a GAAP basis, was $8.5 million ($0.34 per diluted share). Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $11.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share.
Bookings received during the three months ended July 3, 2010 of $180.6 million increased 103.7% from $88.6 million in the same prior year period and increased by 9.8% compared to bookings of $164.5 million in the immediately preceding quarter. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.08, resulting in backlog of $230.2 million at July 3, 2010 compared to a backlog of $217.2 million at April 3, 2010 and a backlog of $137.6 million at July 4, 2009.
As of July 3, 2010, year-to-date sales were $438.7 million and net profit was $27.1 million ($1.08 per diluted share) on a GAAP basis compared to the prior year period sales of $328.3 million and a net loss on a GAAP basis of $30.8 million ($1.27 per share). Bookings received for the nine month period ended July 3, 2010 were $503.5 million, compared to $285.8 million in bookings received during the same period a year ago.
Coherent ended the quarter with cash and short term investments of $254.0 million, a decrease of $11.1 million from cash and short term investments of $265.1 million at April 3, 2010.
“The third quarter operating income was not only the best in the company’s history, it also serves to demonstrate the combined benefits of our more efficient operating structure, higher revenue and favorable mix. We are equally encouraged by record-setting orders as they reflect the alignment we have achieved with our customers. Microelectronics bookings were particularly strong due to investments in LED manufacturing and mobile communications (i.e., smartphones). Demand for lasers used in materials processing and instrumentation was also very healthy as we capitalize on market recovery and new product introductions,” said John Ambroseo, Coherent’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
