Oclaro Achieves Positive Cash Flow in Second Quarter Fiscal 2010
-- Revenues Up 10% Sequentially
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oclaro, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCLR), a leading provider of optical components and modules for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced the financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2010, which ended January 2, 2010.
"Generating positive cash flow, on top of ten percent sequential revenue growth, in our second full quarter since the creation of Oclaro is a significant accomplishment. Let me thank the employees for their contribution during the downturn and the extra effort to execute on the integration," said Alain Couder, President and CEO of Oclaro, Inc. "From a strategic perspective we took steps to acquire Xtellus, Inc. and secure the WSS technology critical to our product portfolio."
Highlights For Second Quarter Fiscal 2010:
- GAAP revenues were $93.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to $85.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
- GAAP gross margin was 27% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to 26% in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
- Non-GAAP operating income was $1.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
- Adjusted EBITDA was positive $4.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to positive $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
- GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.5 million, compared to GAAP net income of $4.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The change is primarily due to the timing of one-time gains and costs associated with the purchase accounting for recent acquisition activities.
- Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.1 million, compared to break-even in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
- Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments increased to $56.0 million as of January 2, 2010 compared to $52.5 million at the end of the prior quarter.
- In December 2009, Oclaro acquired Xtellus, Inc. and its complete line of WSS (Wavelength Select Switching) products and technology
- Oclaro was honored with the designation as Excellent Core Partner of Huawei Technologies Co. and the Distinguished Partner Award from Futjitsu Limited, Japan.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2010 Outlook
"We expect to grow our revenue and are driving to increase our gross margins in what is traditionally a seasonally weaker March quarter," said Alain Couder. "Improving our gross margins in the quarter when our industry experiences the bulk of its annual pricing re-negotiations would demonstrate our ability to continually drive costs out of our products and leverage our global skill and infrastructure."
The results of Oclaro, Inc. for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, which ends April 3, 2010, are expected to be:
- Revenues in the range of $97 million to $102 million, including approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million of Xtellus related revenues.
- Non-GAAP gross margin in the range of 26% to 29%.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $4.0 million to $7.5 million.
The third quarter of fiscal 2010 will include 13 weeks of operations, compared to 14 weeks for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, due to the Company's fiscal year calendar.
The foregoing guidance is based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. Please see the Safe Harbor Statement in this earnings release for a description of certain important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ, and refer to Oclaro, Inc.'s most recent annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a more complete description of the risks.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company provides certain supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to its investors as a complement to the most comparable GAAP measures. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP revenues is revenues. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP gross margin rate is gross margin rate. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income/loss is operating income/loss. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income/loss is net income/loss. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income/loss. An explanation and reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information is set forth below.
The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP measures to its investors, in addition to corresponding income statement measures, provides investors the benefit of viewing the Company's performance using the same financial metrics that the management team uses in making many key decisions and understanding how the Company's "core operating performance" and its results of operations may look in the future. The Company believes that providing this information allows the Company's investors greater transparency and a better understanding of the Company's core financial performance. The Company believes its "core operating performance" represents the Company's on-going performance in the ordinary course of its operations. Management excludes from "core operating performance" those items, such as impairment charges, income taxes, restructuring and severance programs and costs relating to specific major projects which are non-recurring, expenses or income from certain legal actions, settlements and related costs, as well as non-cash compensation related to stock and options. Management does not believe these items, including recurring non-cash items, are reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and accordingly excludes those items from non-GAAP gross margin rate, non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net income/loss. Additionally, each non-GAAP measure has historically been presented by the Company as a complement to its most comparable GAAP measure, and the Company believes that the continuation of this practice increases the consistency and comparability of the Company's earnings releases. The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them, are discussed further below.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Non-GAAP Revenues
Non-GAAP revenues include the revenues of New Focus, which is treated as a discontinued operation in our GAAP financial statements. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to evaluate its performance relative to its previously established financial targets. Specifically, the Company previously reported New Focus in its revenues. The Company believes providing non-GAAP revenues to its investors, in addition to corresponding income statement measures, allows investors to evaluate the Company's results of operations compared to its previous financial results.
Non-GAAP Gross Margin Rate
Non-GAAP gross margin rate is calculated as gross margin rate as determined in accordance with GAAP (gross profit as a percentage of revenues) excluding non-cash compensation related to stock and options specifically identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation schedules set forth below. The Company evaluates its performance using non-GAAP gross margin rate to assess the Company's historical and prospective operating financial performance, as well as its operating performance relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses this non-GAAP measure to further understand the Company's "core operating performance." The Company believes its "core operating performance" represents the Company's on-going performance in the ordinary course of its operations. Accordingly, the Company excludes from "core operating performance" those items such as non-cash compensation related to stock and options; and certain other significant non-recurring one-time charges and credits specifically identified. Management does not believe these items, including recurring non-cash items, are reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and accordingly excludes those items from non-GAAP gross margin rate.
Non-GAAP Operating Income/Loss
Non-GAAP operating income/loss is calculated as operating loss as determined in accordance with GAAP excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and severance costs, non-cash compensation related to stock and options granted to employees and directors, and certain other one-time charges and credits specifically identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation schedules set forth below. The Company evaluates its performance using, among other things, non-GAAP operating income/loss in evaluating the Company's historical and prospective operating financial performance, as well as its operating performance relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses this non-GAAP measure to further understand the Company's "core operating performance." The Company believes its "core operating performance" represents the Company's on-going performance in the ordinary course of its operations. Accordingly, the Company excludes from "core operating performance" those items such as restructuring and severance programs and costs relating to specific major projects which are non-recurring, expenses or income from certain legal actions, settlements and related costs outside our normal course of business, impairment charges, as well as non-cash compensation related to stock and options. Management does not believe these items are reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and accordingly excludes those items from non-GAAP operating loss.
Non-GAAP Net Income/Loss
Non-GAAP net income/loss is calculated as net income/loss excluding the impact of restructuring and severance costs, non-cash compensation related to stock and options granted to employees and directors, income taxes and certain other one-time charges and credits specifically identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation schedules set forth below. The Company uses non-GAAP net income/loss in evaluating the Company's historical and prospective operating financial performance, as well as its operating performance relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses this non-GAAP measure to further understand the Company's "core operating performance."
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income/loss excluding the impact of taxes, net interest income/expense, depreciation and amortization, net foreign currency translation gains/losses, as well as restructuring and severance, impairment, non-cash compensation related to stock and options, expenses or income from certain legal actions, settlements and related costs outside our normal course of business, and certain other one-time charges and credits specifically identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation schedules set forth below. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the Company's historical and prospective cash usage, as well as its cash usage relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses this non-GAAP measure to further understand and analyze the cash used in/generated from the Company's core operations. The Company believes that by excluding these non-cash and non-recurring charges, more accurate expectations of its future cash needs can be assessed in addition to providing a better understanding of the actual cash used in or generated from core operations for the periods presented. The Company further believes that providing this information allows the Company's investors greater transparency and a better understanding of the Company's core cash position.
