Lumentum Announces Fiscal Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum" or the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal third quarter of 2020 ended March 28, 2020.

Net revenue for the fiscal third quarter of 2020 was $402.8 million, with GAAP net income of $43.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share. 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 third quarter of 2019 was $432.9 million, with GAAP net loss of $(74.3) million, or $(0.98) per diluted share.

Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2020 was $98.0 million, or $1.26 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 third quarter of 2019 was $70.9 million, or $0.92 per diluted share.

The Company held $1,451.4 million in total cash and short-term investments at the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2020, up $135.8 million compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2020.

"While the COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting our ability to satisfy strong customer demand for our communications products, we believe the world's experience with COVID-19 will accelerate the shift to increasingly digital and virtual approaches to work, education, health care, entertainment, social interaction, and commerce, creating even more opportunity for Lumentum over the long-term", said Alan Lowe, President and CEO. "Our strategy of technology and product leadership in close alignment with market leading customers is even more apt in these times. The market and technology leadership positions and financial strength we have attained to date, with this strategy, position us well for the future."

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 nine months ended March 28, 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.

Third quarter results were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to limitations on our ability to supply products to our customers. As the outbreak spread outside of China late in the quarter, we experienced supply disruptions in excess of our prior assumptions. The supply of certain products produced in Malaysia was significantly disrupted as the Malaysian government issued a movement control order on March 16, 2020. As we provide an essential service under the order, we have been able to slowly increase production in Malaysia from zero when the movement control order was issued and expect to reach near 100% production levels in the coming weeks. The third quarter was also impacted by limitations in component supply from third parties. We have implemented measures to protect the health and well-being of our employees at our sites in other regions, including work from home programs for nearly all of our non-manufacturing employees around the world, social distancing protocols, and enhanced use of personal protective equipment for manufacturing and other employees performing essential operations for our essential business functions.

Business Outlook
The projections we are providing today incorporate our expectations considering the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to supply our products and market demand in the fiscal fourth quarter. This includes on-going component supply challenges and limited production in Malaysia in the first half of the quarter. We are providing a wider than normal revenue range to incorporate uncertainty around our assumptions on the impact of COVID-19.

Lumentum expects the following for the fiscal fourth quarter 2020:

• Net revenue in the range of $325 million to $365 million
• Non-GAAP operating margin of 18% to 21%
• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.70 to $0.90
• Estimated fourth quarter impact from COVID-19 is a reduction in revenue of more than $90 million and a reduction in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of more than $0.50

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) impairment charges, (xi) transferring product lines to Thailand, (xii) excess and obsolete inventory charges driven by the decline in demand from Huawei, (xiii) expenses related to COVID-19 outbreak, and (xiv) 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.
