Lumentum Announces Fiscal Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum" or the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal second quarter of 2020 ended December 28, 2019.

Net revenue for the fiscal second quarter of 2020 was $457.8 million, with GAAP net income of $49.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. Net revenue for the fiscal first quarter of 2020 was $449.9 million, with GAAP net income of $47.6 million, or $0.61 per diluted share. Net revenue for the fiscal second quarter of 2019 was $373.7 million, with GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $5.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal second quarter of 2020 was $119.4 million, or $1.53 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal first quarter of 2020 was $111.4 million, or $1.44 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal second quarter of 2019 was $78.0 million, or $1.15 per diluted share. 

The Company held $1,315.6 million in total cash and short-term investments at the end of the fiscal second quarter of 2020.

"The themes of the prior quarter - strong customer demand for our differentiated products, an improving financial model due to increasing levels of new and innovative products and increasing scale and acquisition synergies - drove new record revenue, gross margin and operating margin in the second quarter," said Alan Lowe, President and CEO. "Adding to these themes in calendar year 2020, we are seeing telecom transport demand strengthening, we are ramping our DCO modules now and expect 400G and above products to ramp later in the year, and we expect a strong expansion of the market for world-facing 3D sensing lasers."

Financial Overview – Fiscal Second Quarter Ended December 28, 2019

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."

Effective June 30, 2019, we adopted Topic 842, using the modified retrospective transition approach. We applied the new guidance to all leases existing as of the date of adoption. Our reported results for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2020 reflect the application of Topic 842, while fiscal 2019 amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 840.

Business Outlook

The projections we are providing today incorporate an approximate $15 million to $20 million reduction in revenue at the mid-point, and a wider than normal revenue range, due to the anticipated impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak.

Lumentum expects the following for the fiscal third quarter 2020:

• Net revenue in the range of $400 million to $425 million
• Non-GAAP operating margin of 21% to 23%
• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.00 to $1.17

We have not provided reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP measures for our outlook. A large portion of non-GAAP adjustments, such as restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, non-cash income tax expense and credits, amortization of fair value adjustments, integration related costs, impairment charges, inventory write down due to plans to exit certain product lines 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.

The following financial tables are presented in accordance with GAAP, unless otherwise specified.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, Lumentum provides investors with gross margin, gross profit, research and development expense, selling, general and administrative expense, operating margin, operating income, interest and other income (expense), net, income before income taxes and certain expenses, provision for taxes, net income , and net income per share on a non-GAAP basis as well as the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Lumentum believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going business operations and results, as well as cash generation 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 cash flows and, importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such cash flows. 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 gross profit, non-GAAP expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share exclude (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) inventory write-downs and fixed asset impairment due to cancelled programs, plans to exit certain lines of business and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations, (iii) acquisition related costs, (iv) integration related costs, (v) amortization of acquired intangibles, (vi) amortization of fair value adjustments, (vii) restructuring and related charges, (viii) non-cash interest expense, (ix) foreign exchange (gains) losses, net, (x) unrealized gain (loss) on derivative liability, (xi) transferring product lines to Thailand, (xii) excess and obsolete inventory charges driven by the decline in demand from Huawei, and (xiii) non-cash income tax provision impacts. 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.
