Finisar Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/11/12 -- Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optic communications, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2012.
"In our just completed fiscal fourth quarter, our revenues were $239.9 million. Continued strength in datacom revenues were offset by lower telecom revenues. The lower telecom revenues were primarily the result of sluggish carrier capital expenditures and the full three month impact of annual price reductions for telecom products. We were pleased that our gross margin for the quarter exceeded our guidance, resulting in earnings per diluted share which was at the upper end of our guidance range," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board.
"We continued to invest in research and development and make good progress on a number of new innovative products, including additional customer qualifications of our tunable XFP transceivers and design wins for our Flexgrid wavelength selective switches, ROADM linecards, 40G and 100G products," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer. "While the current level of carrier capital expenditures has muted the near term revenue impact of these new products, we believe that this progress has set a strong foundation for revenue growth in the second half of 2012 and beyond."
Revenues decreased to $239.9 million, down $3.0 million, or 1.3%, from $243.0 million in the preceding quarter, as continued strength in sales of datacom products was offset by lower telecom product revenue primarily as the result of sluggish carrier capital expenditure levels and a full three month impact of annual price reductions for telecom products most of which, as in prior years, went into effect in January.
Compared to the preceding quarter, the sale of products for datacom applications increased by $12.3 million, or 9.2%, and the sale of products for telecom applications decreased by $15.4 million, or (14.1)%.
Gross margin was 27.3% on a GAAP basis and 31.4% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 29.3% and 31.8% in the preceding quarter reflecting the impact of the annual price reductions for telecom products over the full quarter.
GAAP operating income increased $0.8 million to $12.1 million, or 5.0% of revenues, compared to $11.3 million, or 4.7% of revenues in the preceding quarter.
Non-GAAP operating income decreased $3.1 million to $20.9 million, or 8.7% of revenues, compared to $24.0 million, or 9.9% of revenues, in the preceding quarter, due to slightly lower revenue levels and slightly higher operating expenses due to higher employee benefit and payroll tax amounts associated with the beginning of the calendar year.
Non-GAAP EBITDA decreased $1.1 million to $34.2 million, or 14.2% of revenues, compared to $35.2 million, or 14.5% of revenues in the preceding quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $234.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to $218.3 million at the end of the preceding quarter.
At the end of the fourth quarter, Finisar had approximately $40.0 million in principal amount of convertible notes outstanding with a conversion price of $10.675 per share.
At the end of the fourth quarter, our Ignis subsidiary also had outstanding debt equivalent to approximately $3.2 million, which is reflected in Finisar's consolidated balance sheet.
Revenues increased to $952.6 million, up $3.8 million, or 0.4%, from $948.8 million in the preceding year.
Compared to the preceding year, the sale of products for datacom applications increased by $59.0 million, or 12.3%, and the sale of products for telecom applications decreased by $55.2 million, or (11.7)%.
Gross margin was 28.7% on a GAAP basis and 31.9% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 32.9% and 34.8% in the preceding year. The decrease in gross margin primarily reflects a decline in average selling prices, partially offset by reduced material costs, as well as under-utilization of certain manufacturing facilities, and consolidation of the financial results of Ignis, whose products have an average gross margin lower than the overall corporate average gross margin.
GAAP operating income decreased $72.4 million to $39.3 million, or 4.1% of revenues, compared to $111.7 million, or 11.8% of revenues in the preceding year. Decrease was the result of lower gross margin and an increase in operating expenses due to increases in employee related expenses, costs of materials associated with new product development, and the consolidation of financial results of Ignis.
Non-GAAP operating income decreased $58.4 million to $89.3 million, or 9.4% of revenues, compared to $147.7 million, or 15.6% of revenues.
Non-GAAP EBITDA decreased $48.2 million to $135.2 million, or 14.2% of revenues, compared to $183.4 million, or 19.3% of revenues in the preceding year.
The Company indicated that it currently expects revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to be in the range of $218 to $233 million; GAAP operating margin to in the range of approximately 0.5% to 2.0%; non-GAAP operating margin to be in the range of approximately 5.5% to 7.0% and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be in the range of approximately $0.11 to $0.15.

FINISAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following financial tables are presented in accordance with GAAP.
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides supplemental information regarding the Company's operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or which occur relatively infrequently and which management considers to be outside our core operating results. Some of these non-GAAP measures also exclude the ongoing impact of historical business decisions made in different business and economic environments. Management believes that tracking non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our current operations, our ability to generate cash and the underlying business trends which are affecting our performance. These non-GAAP measures are used by both management and our Board of Directors, along with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. In particular, management finds it useful to exclude non-cash charges in order to better correlate our operating activities with our ability to generate cash from operations and to exclude certain cash charges as a means of more accurately predicting our liquidity requirements. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with our GAAP financial information, also allow investors to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry.
In calculating non-GAAP gross profit in this release, we have excluded the following items from cost of revenues in applicable periods:
Changes in excess and obsolete inventory reserve (predominantly non-cash charges or non-cash benefits);
Amortization of acquired technology (non-cash charges related to technology obtained in acquisitions);
Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges);
The cost of covering employee and employer tax liabilities arising from the special investigation into our historical stock option granting practices (non-recurring cash charges);
Acquisition method accounting adjustment for sale of acquired inventory (non-cash charges);
Expense related to recent flooding in Thailand (non-recurring charges); and
Reduction in force costs (non-recurring cash charges).
In calculating non-GAAP operating income in this release, we have excluded the same items to the extent they are classified as operating expenses, and have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:
Gain or loss on litigation settlements and resolutions and related costs (non-recurring cash charges or benefits);
Shareholder class action and derivative litigation costs (non-recurring cash expenses associated with the derivative litigation related to our historical stock option granting practices and related to the class action and derivative litigation related to our March 8, 2011 earnings announcement);
Acquisition related costs (non-recurring cash charges);
Amortization of purchased intangibles (non-cash charges); and
Restructuring costs and recoveries (non-recurring cash charges).
In calculating non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP income from continuing operations per share in this release, we have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:
Interest income on legal settlements and resolutions (non-recurring benefits)
Amortization of discount on convertible debt and imputed interest expense (non-cash charges);
Imputed interest expense related to restructuring (amortization of imputed interest expense associated with previously incurred restructuring costs);
Gains and losses on sales of assets (non-recurring or non-cash losses and cash gains related to the periodic disposal of assets no longer required for current activities);
Dollar denominated foreign exchange transaction losses (gains) (non-cash charges);
Loss related to minority and equity method investments (non-cash charges);
Debt extinguishment loss (non-recurring charges);
Fair value re-measurement of equity investment (non-cash gain from re-measurement of value of prior investment in an investee); and
Differences between cash payable for income taxes and the provision for income taxes in accordance with GAAP, less discrete items.
In calculating non-GAAP income (loss) per share in this release, we have included the shares issuable upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes and excluded the interest expenses associated with such notes in such periods where such treatment is dilutive to non-GAAP income (loss) per share.
A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP information is set forth below:
