II-VI INCORPORATED
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
PITTSBURGH, PA., April 21, 2009 — II-VI Incorporated (NASDAQ Global Select: IIVI) today reported results for its third quarter ended March 31, 2009.
As previously announced, the Company intends on selling its x-ray and gamma-ray radiation sensor business, eV PRODUCTS, Inc., which operates as a business within the Compound Semiconductor Group. Results for all periods presented reflect the presentation of eV PRODUCTS as a discontinued operation.
Revenues from continuing operations for the quarter decreased 21% to $64,111,000 from $80,956,000 in the third quarter of last fiscal year. Revenues from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 increased 1% to $226,155,000 from $224,382,000 for the same period last fiscal year.
Bookings from continuing operations for the quarter decreased 34% to $62,252,000 compared to $93,735,000 in the third quarter of last fiscal year. Bookings from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 decreased 19% to $203,884,000 from $253,156,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Bookings from continuing operations are defined as customer orders received that are expected to be converted into revenues during the next 12 months.
Earnings from continuing operations for the quarter were $6,736,000 or $0.23 per share-diluted. These results compare with earnings from continuing operations of $13,353,000 or $0.44 per share-diluted in the third quarter of last fiscal year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, earnings from continuing operations were $32,593,000 or $1.08 per share-diluted. This compares with earnings from continuing operations of $50,342,000 or $1.65 per share-diluted for the same period in the last fiscal year, which included a $15,913,000 or $0.52 per share-diluted after-tax gain on the sale of an equity investment.
Francis J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer said, “Results for our third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 reflect non-military customers’ cautious behavior in the face of the severe downturn in the world’s industrial economies. Quarterly bookings for the Infrared Optics segment, primarily used in manufacturing and other industrial laser applications, decreased 48% from the third quarter of last fiscal year and 33% from the second quarter of our current fiscal year. Aftermarket customers are purchasing fewer replacement optics because they have reduced production; companies are also delaying investments in new OEM equipment. We expect this decrease in demand to continue and now believe the Infrared Optics segment revenues will be lower in the fourth quarter than it was in the third. In response, we continue to cut costs to align them with lower demand; the workforce and overtime reductions initiated since November 2008 yielded an approximately $15 million reduction in annual labor and benefit costs.”

Kramer continued, “In spite of these challenges, the II-VI balance sheet continues to strengthen; our cash balance is at the highest level in Company history. We are well suited to use our strong financial position for future growth, both organically and via acquisitions, with the later continuing to receive a high level of our attention. We are limiting capital spending until business conditions improve.”
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company wrote off approximately $0.8 million pre-tax of certain long-lived assets of its UV Filter product line due to continued reduction in product demand; this amount was recorded as Cost of goods sold on the attached Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2009. UV Filters are a component of the Near-Infrared Optics business segment.
The Loss from Discontinued Operation, net of Income Taxes, in the attached Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 includes an estimated loss on disposal of approximately $1.8 million after-tax. The main components of these estimated costs are employee retention costs, transaction costs and a write-down of net assets to their expected realizable value.
Segment Information from Continuing Operations ($000’s)
The following segment information includes segment earnings from continuing operations (defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense and other income or expense, net).

Outlook
For the fourth fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2009, the Company currently forecasts revenues from continuing operations to range from $58 million to $62 million and earnings per share from continuing operations to range from $0.14 to $0.18. Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were revenues from continuing operations of $91.8 million and earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.50. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, the Company expects revenues from continuing operations to range from $284 million to $288 million and earnings per share from continuing operations to range from $1.22 to $1.26. Results for the year ended June 30, 2008 were revenues from continuing operations of $316 million and earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.16 including the after-tax gain on the sale of an equity investment of $0.52 per share.
Under normal conditions, the Company provides initial guidance for the next fiscal year as part of its third quarter earnings release. However, given the current economic conditions and limited market visibility, the Company is not yet confident in providing specific revenue and earnings per share from continuing operations guidance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company, however, is planning for a further reduction in demand for its UV Filter product line, which is a component of the Near-Infrared Optics segment, with revenues expected to decrease in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 by approximately $10 million from the expected revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. We do expect a turnaround in our business in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, however, it is unclear at this time as to the quarter this will occur.
Webcast Information
The Company will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 to discuss these results.
