THIRD FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS
For the third fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2013, Coherent announced net sales of $213.7 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $16.7 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. These results compare to net sales of $196.4 million and net income of $17.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $22.6 million, or $0.91 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $21.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we revised our presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS for all periods presented to exclude the effect of intangibles amortization and inventory step up costs. For a complete overview of the differences between GAAP and non-GAAP results, please see the reconciliation table included at the end of our release.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $200.1 million and net income, on a GAAP basis, was $15.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $20.7 million, or $0.84 per diluted share.
Bookings received during the third fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2013 of $189.2 million decreased 13.6% from $218.9 million in the same prior year period and decreased by 6.3% compared to bookings of $201.8 million in the immediately preceding quarter. The book-to-bill ratio was 0.89, and ending backlog shipping in the next 12 months was $299.2 million at June 29, 2013, compared to a backlog of $333.0 million at March 30, 2013 and a backlog of $369.4 million at June 30, 2012.
“There are a number of interesting opportunities as we finish fiscal 2013 and enter fiscal 2014. We expect to see meaningful orders in our laser annealing business as early as the current quarter and extending into fiscal 2014. We
shipped a 3 kilowatt fiber laser prototype to a lead customer and the initial test results are positive. The next phase of testing is field deployment qualification, which is the precursor to a volume commercial order. And finally, we have delivered lasers to a number of customers who are developing processes for strengthened glass cutting,” said John Ambroseo, Coherent’s President and CEO.
Coherent ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $201.7 million, a decrease of $2.3 million from cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $204.0 million at March 30, 2013.
