FIRST FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS
For the first quarter of fiscal 2021, Coherent announced net sales of $326.1 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.

These results compare to net sales of $320.8 million and net income of $5.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and net sales of $316.8 million and net income of $7.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $26.7 million, or $1.09 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $20.7 million, or $0.86 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $24.5 million, or $1.01 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended January 2, 2021, October 3, 2020 and December 28, 2019 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net income."

"We started well into our fiscal 2021 with strong results for the first quarter. We grew bookings and revenue sequentially as well as year-over-year, with our book to bill greater than one across all our end markets. Microelectronics orders were strong in the quarter within our display, semicap and API businesses, along with encouraging Aerospace & Defense orders where our U.S. manufacturing base and product portfolio are highly valued," said Andy Mattes, Coherent President and CEO. "Our continued focus on operational excellence yielded improved margins and non-GAAP EPS and further improved our already strong balance sheet."

Summarized statement of operations information is as follows (unaudited, in thousands, except per share data):
