SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 2, 2017
SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCLR), a leading provider and innovator of optical communications solutions, today announced the financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2017, which ended July 1, 2017.
"It gives me great pleasure to report that we achieved record financial performance in our fiscal year 2017. I am incredibly proud of what the Oclaro team accomplished during the past year. We posted year-over-year revenue growth of 47 percent, while also delivering significantly higher profits. Our excellent results were driven by the strength of our 100G and beyond product portfolio whose revenue doubled over fiscal year 2016. The most significant growth came from our industry leading CFP2-ACO and QSFP28 product family," said Greg Dougherty, Chief Executive Officer, Oclaro.
"Our fourth quarter revenue, which reflected the anticipated impact of softness in China, was in line with our expectations. While revenue declined, we once again delivered very strong gross margin and operating profits. As we enter fiscal year 2018, we expect to see continued high demand for our 100G and beyond products in the Data Center and Metro Markets. We also expect to be able to maintain our strong margin performance in fiscal 2018," said Mr. Dougherty.

Results for Fiscal Year 2017
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2018 Outlook
The guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2017 is:
The foregoing guidance is based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. Please see the Safe Harbor Statement in this earnings release for a description of certain important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ, and refer to Oclaro's most recent annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a more complete description of these risks. Furthermore, we have not provided reconciliations from non-GAAP to GAAP for our outlook. Certain elements of such reconciliations, such as restructuring and related costs, acquisition or disposal related costs, expenses or income from certain legal actions, settlements and related costs outside our normal course of business, impairments of other long-lived assets and other costs and contingencies unrelated to our current and future operations, are highly variable and we are not able to forecast these items within a meaningful range. We are better able to forecast stock-based compensation and amortization of other intangible assets, the two largest elements of such reconciliation, and we expect those elements to be approximately $3.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the first quarter. We do not intend to update this guidance as a result of developments occurring after the date of this release.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release, in association with Oclaro's fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 financial results conference call, contains statements about management's future expectations, plans or prospects of Oclaro and its business, and together with the assumptions underlying these statements, constitute forward-looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning (i) financial guidance for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017 regarding revenues, non-GAAP gross margin, and non-GAAP operating income, (ii) customer demand for Oclaro's products, and (iii) Oclaro's future financial performance and operating prospects. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may contain words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will," "should," "outlook," "could," "target," "model," "objective," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operations or financial performance. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including (i) the absence of long-term purchase commitments from many of our long-term customers, (ii) our dependence on a limited number of customers for a significant percentage of our revenues, (iii) competition and pricing pressure, (iv) our ability to timely develop, commercialize and ramp the production of new products to customer required volumes, (v) our ability to meet or exceed our gross margin expectations, (vi) the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, (vii) our ability to respond to evolving technologies, customer requirements and demands, and product design challenges, (viii) our manufacturing yields, (ix) the risks associated with delays, disruptions or quality control problems in manufacturing, (x) our ability to conclude agreements with our customers on favorable terms, (xi) our ability to obtain governmental licenses and approvals for international trading activities or technology transfers, including export licenses, (xii) our ability to properly execute, or realize anticipated cost savings or benefits from, our ongoing information technology initiatives, (xiii) our ability to effectively manage our inventory, (xiv) our dependence on a limited number of suppliers and key contract manufacturers, (xv) our ability to have our manufacturing lines qualified by our customers, (xvi) the impact of financial market and general economic conditions in the industries in which we operate and any resulting reduction in demand for our products, (xvii) assessments we may make that impact our deferred tax asset valuation allowances, (xviii) our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, (xix) the outcome of pending litigation against us, and (xx) other factors described in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other documents we periodically file with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Oclaro provides certain supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to its investors as a complement to the most comparable GAAP measures. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP gross margin rate is gross margin rate. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income/loss is operating income/loss. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income/loss. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income/loss is net income/loss. An explanation and reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information is set forth below.
Oclaro believes that providing these non-GAAP measures to its investors, in addition to corresponding income statement measures, provides investors the benefit of viewing Oclaro's performance using the same financial metrics that the management team uses in making many key decisions and evaluating how Oclaro's "core operating performance" and its results of operations may look in the future. Oclaro defines "core operating performance" as its ongoing performance in the ordinary course of its operations. Items that are non-recurring or do not involve cash expenditures, such as impairment charges, income taxes, restructuring and severance programs, costs relating to specific major projects (such as acquisitions), non-cash compensation related to stock and options and certain income, and impairment of fixed assets and inventory and related expenses, are not included in Oclaro's view of "core operating performance." Management does not believe these items are reflective of Oclaro's ongoing core operations and accordingly excludes those items from non-GAAP gross margin rate, non-GAAP operating income/loss, non-GAAP net income/loss and Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, each non-GAAP measure has historically been presented by Oclaro as a complement to its most comparable GAAP measure, and Oclaro believes that the continuation of this practice increases the consistency and comparability of Oclaro's earnings releases.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income/loss excluding the impact of income taxes, net interest income/expense, depreciation and amortization, net gains/losses on foreign currency transactions, as well as restructuring, acquisition and related costs, non-cash compensation related to stock and options, and other unusual one-time charges, specifically identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation schedules set forth below. Oclaro uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating Oclaro's historical and prospective cash usage, as well as its cash usage relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses this non-GAAP measure to further understand and analyze the cash used in/generated from Oclaro's core operations. Oclaro believes that by excluding these non-cash and non-recurring charges, more accurate expectations of its future cash needs can be assessed in addition to providing a better understanding of the actual cash used in or generated from core operations for the periods presented. Oclaro further believes that providing this information allows Oclaro's investors greater transparency and a better understanding of Oclaro's core cash position.
