Oclaro Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Results
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCLR), a leading provider and innovator of optical communications solutions, today announced the financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2015, which ended September 27, 2014.
"Our revenue, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA results for the first quarter came in at the high end of our guidance. Our performance for the first quarter demonstrates that our turnaround plan is working and delivering tangible results. We continue to make very good progress against our financial and commercial objectives," said Greg Dougherty, Chief Executive Officer, Oclaro. "Also, as announced on October 27th, we completed the sale of our industrial and consumer business. The sale further streamlines our global footprint and allows us to focus on expanding our market leadership in 100G where we continue to see strong demand. We view the first quarter results as another positive step on our road to success."
Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2015
Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 include a full quarter of the Company's industrial and consumer business.
- Revenues were $89.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with revenues of $95.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Industrial and Consumer revenue was $7.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
- GAAP gross margin was 16.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with a GAAP gross margin of 13.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
- Non-GAAP gross margin was 16.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with a non-GAAP gross margin of 14.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The improvement resulted from reduced inventory charges and better factory utilization in the quarter.
- GAAP operating loss was $17.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. This compares with a GAAP operating loss of $23.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
- Non-GAAP operating loss was $13.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with a non-GAAP operating loss of $14.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
- GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $20.4 million. This compares with a GAAP net loss of $24.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
- Adjusted EBITDA was negative $8.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared with negative $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

The guidance for the quarter ending December 27, 2014, which includes approximately $2 million of revenue from the Company's industrial and consumer business, which sold on October 27, 2014 is:
- Revenues in the range of $80 million to $88 million.
- Non-GAAP gross margin in the range of 13% to 17%.

These forward-looking statements include statements concerning (i) financial targets and expectations and progress toward Oclaro's target business model, including financial guidance for the fiscal quarter ending December 27, 2014 regarding revenue, non-GAAP gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) the status of Oclaro's restructuring plan, (iii) market interest in Oclaro's 100G products, (iv) the impact of the recent acquisition by Ushio Opto of Oclaro's industrial and consumer business and (v) Oclaro's future financial performance and operating prospects.

There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including (i) our dependence on a limited number of customers for a significant percentage of our revenues, (ii) our ability to maintain strong relationships with certain customers, (iii) the effects of fluctuating product mix on our results, (iv) our ability to timely develop and commercialize new products, (v) competition and pricing pressure, (vi) our ability to meet or exceed our gross margin expectations, (vii) Oclaro's ability to maintain or increase its cash reserves and obtain debt or equity-based financing on terms acceptable to it or at all, (viii) the future performance of Oclaro and its ability to effectively restructure its operations and business following the sale of its Zurich and Amplifier businesses in accordance with its business plan, (ix) our ability to respond to evolving technologies and customer requirements and demands, (x) our ability to effectively compete with companies that have greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, (xi) our ability to effectively and efficiently transition to portions of our operations, (xii) our ability to timely capitalize on any increase in market demand, (xiii) the potential inability to realize the expected benefits of asset dispositions, (xiv) the sale of businesses which may or may not arise in connection with executing our restructuring plans, including without limitation the recent divestiture of Oclaro's industrial and consumer business to Ushio Opto, (xv) our ability to reduce costs and operating expenses, (xvi) increased costs related to downsizing and compliance with regulatory and legal requirements in connection with such downsizing, (xvii) the risks associated with our international operations, (xviii) the impact of continued uncertainty in world financial markets and any resulting reduction in demand for our products, (xix) the outcome of tax audits or similar proceedings, (xx) the outcome of pending litigation against the company, and (xxi) other factors described in Oclaro's most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other documents it periodically files with the SEC. The forward-looking statements included in this announcement represent Oclaro's view as of the date of this announcement. Oclaro anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause Oclaro's views and expectations to change. Oclaro specifically disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Oclaro 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 gross margin rate is gross margin rate. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income/loss and Adjusted EBITDA is operating income/loss.
The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income/loss is net income/loss. An explanation and reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information is set forth below.
Oclaro believes that providing these non-GAAP measures to its investors, in addition to corresponding income statement measures, provides investors the benefit of viewing Oclaro's performance using the same financial metrics that the management team uses in making many key decisions and evaluating how Oclaro's "core operating performance" and its results of operations may look in the future. Oclaro defines "core operating performance" as its ongoing performance in the ordinary course of its operations. Items that are non-recurring or do not involve cash expenditures, such as impairment charges, income taxes, restructuring and severance programs, costs relating to specific major projects (such as acquisitions), non-cash compensation related to stock and options and certain income, purchase accounting adjustments related to the fair market value of acquired inventories, costs to outsource our back-end manufacturing activities, write-offs and expenses related to flooding in Thailand, including advance payments received from insurers, impairment of fixed assets and inventory and related expenses, are not included in Oclaro's view of "core operating performance." Management does not believe these items are reflective of Oclaro's ongoing core operations and accordingly excludes those items from non-GAAP gross margin rate, non-GAAP operating income/loss, non-GAAP net income/loss and Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, each non-GAAP measure has historically been presented by Oclaro as a complement to its most comparable GAAP measure, and Oclaro believes that the continuation of this practice increases the consistency and comparability of Oclaro's earnings releases.
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.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as operating income/loss excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, non-cash compensation related to stock and options, purchase accounting adjustments related to the fair market value of acquired inventories, impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and certain other one-time charges and credits, including flood related advance payments received from insurers, impairment of fixed assets and inventory and related expenses, specifically identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation schedules set forth below. Oclaro uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating Oclaro'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 Oclaro's core operations. Oclaro 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. Oclaro further believes that providing this information allows Oclaro's investors greater transparency and a better understanding of Oclaro's core cash position.
