Sponsored by Businesswire

NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit-based modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications networks, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

“We are pleased to deliver another profitable quarter, notably through our seasonally low first quarter, in spite of supply chain risks related to the pandemic,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. “As we look forward, the industry continues to move in our direction with higher and higher speed over distance requirements, which are satisfied by our ultra-narrow linewidth lasers, high baud rate coherent components and our Coherent pluggable DCO modules utilizing these leading optical components. Needless to say, we are optimistic about our future,” concluded Mr. Jenks.

First Quarter Summary

  • Revenue was $97.4 million, down 6% quarter-over-quarter and up 23% year-over-year
  • Gross margin was 30.5%, up from 30.2% in the prior quarter and from 19.8% in the prior year
  • Non-GAAP Gross margin was 31.2%, up from 30.9% in the prior quarter and up from 22.4% in the prior year
  • Diluted net income per share was $0.12, in comparison to a net income per share of $0.04 in the prior quarter and to a net loss per share of $0.30 in the same period last year
  • Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.17, up from $0.10 in the prior quarter and up from a net loss of $0.19 in the same period last year
  • Cash generated from operations was $24.9 million, up from $16.3 million in the prior quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $17.8 million, up from $12.5 million in the prior quarter and up from a loss of $0.8 million in the same period last year

Non-GAAP results in the first quarter of 2020 exclude $2.5 million of stock-based compensation expense and $0.2 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. 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 March 31, 2020 cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash, together totaled $109.5 million, up $20.4 million compared to December 31, 2019. Restricted cash as of March 31, 2020 was $10.9 million.

Outlook for the Quarter Ending June 30, 2020

 

GAAP

Non-GAAP

Revenue

$94 to $102 million

Gross Margin

29% to 33%

30% to 34%

Operating Expenses

$27 to $28 million

$24 to $25 million

Earnings per share

$0.02 net loss to $0.08 net profit

$0.05 to $0.15 net profit

This outlook includes approximately $10 million of Covid-19 pandemic related impact to Q2 revenue, reflecting identified supply chain risks.

The non-GAAP outlook for the second quarter of 2020 excludes the expected impact of stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.3 million, of which $0.6 million is estimated for cost of goods sold, and the impact of expected amortization of intangibles of approximately $0.2 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.
