NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of optoelectronic solutions for the highest speed communications networks in telecom and data center applications, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

"In the second quarter, NeoPhotonics delivered strong results with revenue of $81 million, coming in above the high end of our outlook range and representing 18% sequential growth and 11% growth over the same period last year. Sequential growth outside of China was 30% and the result of very strong Data Center Interconnect and Metro deployments by our key customers in the Americas and EMEA," said Tim Jenks, NeoPhotonics Chairman and CEO. "We met our key financial metrics for the quarter and with our new product traction and increasing momentum in our core markets, we are optimistic for continued improvement."

Second Quarter Summary

  • Revenue was $81.1 million, up 18% quarter-over-quarter and 11% year-over-year
  • Gross margin was 19.1%, compared to 13.4% in the prior quarter
  • Non-GAAP Gross margin was 20.1%, compared to 14.7% in the prior quarter
  • Net loss was $10.5 million, compared to a net loss of $18.2 million in the prior quarter
  • Non-GAAP net loss was $6.3 million, compared to a net loss of $14.6 million in the prior quarter

  • Non-GAAP diluted net loss per share was $0.14, compared to a net loss of $0.33 in the prior quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, compared to negative $5.5 million in the prior quarter

Non-GAAP results in the second quarter of 2018 exclude $3.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.3 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and $0.7 million of restructuring charges. A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release.

As of June 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash, together totaled $67.6 million, compared to $86.9 million at March 31, 2018, reflecting debt repayments of $18.6 million in the second quarter.

Outlook for the Quarter Ending September 30, 2018

 
    GAAP   Non-GAAP
Revenue   $79 to $84 million
Gross Margin   19% to 23%   20% to 24%
Operating Expenses   $25 to $26 million   $22 to $23 million
Earnings per share   $0.27 to $0.17 net loss   $0.17 to $0.07 net loss
   

The Non-GAAP outlook for the third quarter of 2018 excludes the expected impact of stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.9 million, of which $0.6 million is estimated for cost of goods sold, and the impact of expected amortization of intangibles of approximately $0.3 million.

Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA Measures vs. GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's non-GAAP and adjusted EBITDA measures exclude certain GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. NeoPhotonics believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
