A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

"The fourth quarter closed a solid year of financial performance for Oplink," said Joe Liu, Chairman and CEO of Oplink. "As we enter fiscal 2014, we are seeing some signs of increased demand, and we are optimistic that these trends will continue. We see growth opportunities for our products in both the telecom and datacom markets and we will continue to work closely with our customers to bring cost-effective, next generation optical solutions to market to meet the increasing demand for bandwidth."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this earnings release and during the earnings conference call and webcast as described above, Oplink will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying tables.

Oplink believes that providing these non-GAAP measures to its investors provides investors the benefit of viewing Oplink's performance using the same financial metrics that the management team uses in making many key decisions and evaluating how Oplink's "core operating performance" and its results of operations may look in the future. Oplink defines "core operating performance" as its on-going performance in the ordinary course of its operations. Items that are non-recurring or do not involve cash expenditures, such as one-time tax benefits or charges, impairment charges, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash compensation related to stock and options, are not included in Oplink's view of "core operating performance."
