SECOND FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS

For the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, Coherent announced net sales of $193.3 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $16.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted share.  These results compare to net sales of $200.9 million and net income of $23.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.  Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $17.4 million, or $0.73 per diluted share and excludes the release of tax reserves and related interest as a result of the closure of certain open state tax years.  Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $21.5 million, or $0.83 per diluted share and excluded a gain of $6.1 million net of tax, or $0.24 per diluted share, primarily due to a currency translation benefit related to the dissolution of our Finland operations.  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 first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $190.8 million and net income, on a GAAP basis, was $17.1 million, or $0.71 per diluted share.  Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $19.7 million, or $0.82 per diluted share.

Bookings received during the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $183.1 million decreased 22.6% from $236.7 million in the same fiscal quarter of the prior year and decreased by 9.3% compared to bookings of $201.8 million in the immediately preceding quarter.  The book-to-bill ratio was 0.95, resulting in backlog of $349.2 million at March 31, 2012, compared to a backlog of $365.5 million at December 31, 2011 and a backlog of $348.9 million at April 2, 2011.

"Materials processing orders strengthened in the second fiscal quarter, primarily due to demand recovery in China.  This was offset by order timing in both the scientific and FPD markets.  There are strong indications of bookings growth across most submarkets in the second half of fiscal 2012," said John Ambroseo, Coherent's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also experienced higher than anticipated start-up and service costs for new products that negatively affected margins.  We project these costs to come down over the next few quarters," he added.

Coherent ended the quarter with cash and short term investments of $215.2 million, an increase of $12.1 million from cash and short term investments of $203.1 million at December 31, 2011.

CONFERENCE CALL REMINDER
