Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR) today announced that, on the basis of preliminary financial results, the Company expects to report revenues of approximately $266 million for its first fiscal quarter, ended July 28, 2013, compared to guidance of $245 to $260 million that the Company provided early in the first quarter. The revenue results are preliminary and subject to adjustment. However, in the absence of material adjustment, first quarter revenues will set a new record for the Company and will be the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth. The growth in revenue came primarily from increased sales of 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet transceivers for datacom applications. Approximately $2 million of the revenue growth over the prior quarter was from products for telecom applications. As a result of these higher than expected revenues, a favorable product mix and increased operating leverage, the Company expects non-GAAP gross margin to be 34.5% to 35%. This exceeds the previous guidance of approximately 33%. Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to be $0.30 to $0.31 for the quarter, exceeding the previously estimated range of $0.22 to $0.26. A complete assessment of cost of revenues and operating expenses is not yet available but, results under GAAP are expected to include additional non-cash and infrequently occurring charges.
