MILPITAS, Calif., May 04, 2017  -- Lumentum Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum" or the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal third quarter ended April 1, 2017.
 
Net revenue for the fiscal third quarter of 2017 was $255.8 million, with GAAP net loss of $(56.0) million or $(0.92) per diluted share. Net revenue for the fiscal second quarter of 2017 was $265.0 million, with GAAP net income of $11.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. Net revenue for the fiscal third quarter of 2016 was $230.4 million, with GAAP net loss of $(7.6) million, or $(0.13) per diluted share.
 
Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2017 was $30.8 million or $0.49 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal second quarter of 2017 was $35.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2016 was $19.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. The Company held $577.9 million in total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2017.
 
"During the third quarter we made solid progress on our strategic goals in each of our markets," said Alan Lowe, president and CEO. "Our revenue from 100G QSFP28 transceivers targeting hyperscale datacenter applications picked up materially, we shipped record levels of next generation TrueFlex® ROADMs, our commercial lasers business returned to growth, and we made substantial progress on 3D sensing for mobile devices applications."
 
"Late in the third quarter we saw demand from China slow significantly, and this softness persisted through April. Despite this near-term softness, we remain optimistic about our longer-term outlook. Demand continues to grow for bandwidth across the world’s datacenters and communications networks. Manufacturers are increasingly adopting advanced laser-based techniques. And, leaders in next generation consumer electronics, as well as the automotive industry, are looking to 3D sensing to enable new applications," concluded Mr. Lowe.

The tables above provide comparisons of quarterly results to prior periods, including sequential quarterly and year-over-year changes. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is contained in this release under the section titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Business Outlook

For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2017, the Company expects net revenue to be in the range of $220 million to $235 million, non-GAAP operating margin to be 9.0% to 11.0%, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to be $0.30 to $0.40 per share, based on approximately 63.7 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

We have not provided reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP measures for our outlook. A large portion of non-GAAP adjustments, such as derivative liabilities adjustments, restructuring, stock-based compensation, litigation, and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future. For example, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative liabilities for Convertible Senior Notes (the “convertible notes”) issued in March 2017 and Series A Preferred Stock in our fiscal third quarter of 2017 was a loss of $56.6 million, as compared to a gain on the derivative liability for Series A Preferred Stock of $4.8 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2017. These liabilities are revalued based on the fair market value of our common stock on the last day of each fiscal quarter, which is difficult to predict and subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, Lumentum provides investors with gross margin, operating margin, net income, net income per share and Adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis. Lumentum also provides supplemental gross profit, income (loss) before income taxes and certain expenses (collectively “non-GAAP expenses”) on a non-GAAP basis. Lumentum believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. Specifically, the Company believes that providing this information allows investors to better understand the Company’s financial performance and, importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such operating performance.  However, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies.

Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, income (loss) before income taxes and non-GAAP expenses exclude (i) workforce related charges such as severance, retention bonuses and employee relocation costs related to formal restructuring plans, (ii) costs for facilities not required for ongoing operations, and costs related to the relocation of certain equipment from these facilities and/or contract manufacturer facilities, (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v)amortization of acquired developed technologies, (vi) non-cash interest expense, (vii) unrealized loss on derivative liabilities, and (viii) warranty charges related to our vendor quality issues with expected future recoveries and (ix) other charges comprising mainly of one-time provision for excess and obsolete inventory, acquisition, integration, litigation and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations including post-separation activities such as small site consolidations, reorganizations, insourcing or outsourcing of activities, severance related costs and transition related costs for the separation from Viavi. In the fiscal third quarter of 2017, we issued $450 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes (the “convertible notes”). As of the last day of the third quarter, the Company could only satisfy its conversion obligations in cash.  Accordingly, the conversion option of the convertible notes is accounted for as a derivative liability under GAAP and therefore, fluctuates with the fair market value of our stock price as of the end of the quarter.  Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth more fully in the indenture governing the convertible notes, the Company will evaluate the conversion option and if the Company meets the requirements to account for the conversion option as equity, the conversion option will no longer be marked to market, and will be reclassified to equity. Management does not believe that these items are reflective of the Company's underlying operating performance. The presentation of these and other similar items in Lumentum's non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

A quantitative reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data with respect to historical periods is included in the supplemental financial table attached to this press release. The Company has not reconciled its projections of non-GAAP earnings per share.  As items that impact net loss are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, Lumentum has determined that a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts.
