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 third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

“Solid execution, strong customer demand, and cost reduction combined for a profitable quarter for NeoPhotonics,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. “Despite the trade tensions, we believe the macro trends of the industry favor our core capabilities of delivering the highest performance products for the most demanding applications,” concluded Mr. Jenks.

Third Quarter Summary

  • Revenue was $92.4 million, up 13% quarter-over-quarter and up 13% year-over-year
  • Gross margin was 28.4%, up from 19.2% in the prior quarter
  • Non-GAAP Gross margin was 29.0%, up from 25.6% in the prior quarter
  • Diluted net earnings per share was $0.05, up from a net loss of $0.16 per share in the prior quarter
  • Non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share was $0.11, up from net loss of $0.03 per share in the prior quarter
  • Cash generated from operations was $9 million, up from $0.7 million in the prior quarter

Non-GAAP results in the third quarter of 2019 exclude $3.0 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.

Outlook for the Quarter Ending December 31, 2019

  

GAAP

  

Non-GAAP

Revenue

Gross Margin

The non-GAAP outlook for the fourth quarter of 2019 excludes the expected impact of stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.5 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.
