Record Quarterly Revenues of $240.9 Million

Net Income from Continuing Operations Sets a New Record

Non-GAAP Operating Margin Reaches 17.0%

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share of $0.44, Up 42% Quarter-Over-Quarter


SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - December 1, 2010) - Finisar Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader for subsystems and components for fiber optics communications, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended October 31, 2010.

COMMENTARY

"In our just completed second quarter, we reached our previously announced target for non-GAAP operating margin of 17.0%, upwardly revised just last quarter, substantially earlier than we had predicted. Achieving this level of operating margin was driven by our strong revenue growth combined with minimal increases in operating expenses," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board. "We achieved new company records for quarterly revenues, operating income and net income."

"Furthermore, the market environment continued to be very strong for Finisar, driven by increased demand for a broad range of LAN/SAN and metro/telecom products," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer. "The company continued to gain market share, including in the WSS/ROADM line card segment where revenues grew 27.3% over the previous quarter. We expect revenues for WSS/ROADM line cards to grow another 20% to 30% sequentially in our fiscal third quarter."

(a) In evaluating the operating performance of Finisar's business,
    Finisar management utilizes financial measures that exclude certain
    charges and credits required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
    principles, or GAAP, that are considered by management to be outside
    Finisar's core operating results.  A reconciliation of Finisar's
    non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
    measures, as well as additional related information can be found under
    the heading "Finisar Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Highlights for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 under GAAP:

--  Revenues increased to $240.9 million, up $33.1 million, or 15.9%, from
    $207.9 million in the preceding quarter and up $95.2 million, or 65.3%,
    from $145.7 million in the second quarter of the prior year.

--  Compared to the preceding quarter, the sale of 10 Gbps or faster
    products increased $13.3 million, or 14.1%, the sale of less than
    10 Gbps products increased $12.1 million, or 15.4%, the sale of ROADM
    related products, including wavelength selective switches (WSS)
    increased $8.3 million, or 27.3%, and the sale of products for analog
    and cable television (CATV) applications decreased $0.7 million, or
    (15.6)%.

--  Compared to the second quarter of the prior year, the sale of 10 Gbps
    or faster products  increased $52.0 million, or 94.0%, the sale of less
    than 10 Gbps products increased $21.3 million, or 30.5%, the sale of
    ROADM related products increased $23.3 million, or 151.0%, and the sale
    of products for CATV applications decreased $1.4 million, or (28.6)%.

--  Gross margin increased to 34.2% from 34.1% in the preceding quarter
    and 27.3% in the second quarter of the prior year.

--  Operating income increased to $36.1 million, or 15.0% of revenues,
    compared to $23.7 million, or 11.4% of revenues, in the preceding
    quarter and an operating loss of $(2.0) million, or (1.3)% of revenues,
    in the second quarter of the prior year.

--  Net income from continuing operations was $33.8 million, or $0.39 per
    diluted share, compared to $19.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share,
    in the preceding quarter and a loss of $(31.4) million, or $(0.49) per
    share, in the second quarter of the prior year.

--  Cash generated during the second quarter, after working capital
    adjustments and capital expenditures, excluding the items described in
    the next paragraph, totaled $18.0 million. Accounts receivable and
    inventory increased $20.8 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The
    increase in accounts receivable was driven by increased revenue levels
    as days sales outstanding, or DSOs, were 66 days compared to 67 days in
    the prior quarter. The increase in inventory was due in part to planned
    inventory build-up in anticipation of further revenue growth in the
    third quarter. Capital expenditures were $13.4 million compared to
    $12.1 million in the preceding quarter and $7.6 million in the second
    quarter of the prior year.

--  In addition during the quarter, the Company received $11.3 million in
    cash, net of related legal fees, under a settlement and cross license
    agreement with Source Photonics, Inc. This settlement resolved a
    lawsuit brought by Finisar claiming infringement of Finisar patents.
    Finisar also paid $29.6 million in cash to retire convertible
    subordinated notes which matured on October 15, 2010 and made scheduled
    principal payments of an additional $1.0 million on its Malaysian debt.
    Finally, the Company used $5.9 million in cash to make a strategic
    minority investment in a small opto-electronics company.

--  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $184.9 million at the end of the
    second quarter compared to $192.2 million at the end of the preceding
    quarter.

--  Under Finisar's $70.0 million secured credit facility with Wells Fargo
    Foothill, LLC, no borrowings were outstanding and $66.6 million was
    available to borrow at the end of the second quarter.

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides supplemental information regarding its operating performance on a non-GAAP basis. Finisar believes this supplemental information provides investors and management with additional insight into its underlying core operating performance by excluding a number of non-cash and cash charges, as well as infrequently occurring gains or losses principally related to acquisitions, the sale of minority investments, restructuring or other transition activities, legal settlements, impairments and financing transactions. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, these excluded items related to continuing operations represented a net benefit of $4.5 million. Excluded benefits and charges included a benefit of $2.5 million representing the portion of the cash received under the settlement and cross license agreement with Source Photonics that was attributable to past damages, net of related legal fees; $5.0 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses; $1.6 million in non-cash amortization charges related to acquired developed technology and purchased intangibles arising from previous acquisitions; a $115,000 representing the difference between cash payments for income taxes and the related GAAP tax provision, less non-recurring items; $575,000 in non-cash charges related to slow-moving and excess inventory; and $367,000 in non-cash charges for imputed interest expense on the Company's debt obligations. Other excluded items are described in Finisar Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Highlights for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 on a non-GAAP basis:

--  Non-GAAP gross margin was 35.5% compared to 35.2% in the preceding
    quarter and 29.6% in the second quarter of the prior year. The
    improvement in gross margin compared to the preceding quarter was due
    primarily to a favorable shift in product mix. The improvement compared
    to the prior year reflects both a favorable shift in product mix and a
    reduction in manufacturing unit costs due to higher shipment volumes.

--  Non-GAAP operating expenses were $44.6 million, substantially unchanged
    from $44.2 million in the preceding quarter and an increase of
    $10.4 million from $34.2 million in the second quarter of the prior
    year. Operating expenses as a percent of revenues declined to 18.5% of
    revenue in the second quarter compared to 21.3% in the preceding
    quarter and 23.5% in the prior year due primarily to revenues growing
    faster than expenses.

--  Non-GAAP operating income was $40.9 million, or 17.0% of revenues, up
    $11.9 million from $29.0 million, or 14.0% of revenues, in the
    preceding quarter, and up $32.0 million from $8.9 million, or 6.1% of
    revenues, in the second quarter of the prior year.

--  Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations was $38.3 million, or
    $0.44 per diluted share, compared to net income of $ 25.8 million, or
    $0.31 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and $7.5 million, or
    $0.11 per diluted share, in the second quarter of the prior year.

--  Non-GAAP EBITDA rose to $49.5 million compared to $37.3 million in the
    preceding quarter and $16.0 million in the second quarter of the prior
    year.

OUTLOOK

The Company indicated that it currently expects revenues for its third fiscal quarter ending January 30, 2011 to be in the range of $247 to $262 million. On a GAAP basis, operating margin is expected to be greater than or equal to 14.0%. Additional non-cash and infrequently occurring charges and benefits excluded in calculating non-GAAP operating income are expected to total a net charge of approximately $7 to $8 million. As a result, on a non-GAAP basis, operating margin is expected to be greater than or equal to 17.0%. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.45 to $0.47.

FINISAR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Finisar provides supplemental information regarding the Company's operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or which occur relatively infrequently and which management considers to be outside our core operating results. Some of these non-GAAP measures also exclude the ongoing impact of historical business decisions made in different business and economic environments. Management believes that tracking non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our current operations, our ability to generate cash and the underlying business trends which are affecting our performance. These non-GAAP measures are used by both management and our Board of Directors, along with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. In particular, management finds it useful to exclude non-cash charges in order to better correlate our operating activities with our ability to generate cash from operations and to exclude non-recurring and infrequently incurred cash charges as a means of more accurately predicting our liquidity requirements. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with our GAAP financial information, also allow investors to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry.

In calculating non-GAAP gross profit in this release, we have excluded the following items from cost of revenues in applicable periods:

--  Changes in excess and obsolete inventory reserve (predominantly
    non-cash charges or non-cash benefits);
--  Amortization of acquired technology (non-cash charges related to
    technology obtained in acquisitions);
--  Stock-based compensation expense (non-cash charges); and
--  Reduction in force costs (non-recurring charges).

In calculating non-GAAP operating income in this release, we have excluded the same items to the extent they are classified as operating expenses, and have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:

--  The cost of covering employee and employer tax liabilities
    (non-recurring cash charges) arising from the special investigation
    into our historical stock option granting practices; and
--  Gain or loss on settlement of lawsuits (non-recurring charges).

In calculating non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP income from continuing operations per share in this release, we have also excluded the following items in applicable periods:

--  Amortization of discount on convertible debt and imputed interest
    expense (non-cash charges);
--  Losses on repayment/purchase of convertible notes (non-recurring and
    non-cash charges);
--  Gains and losses on sales of assets (non-recurring or non-cash losses
    and cash gains related to the periodic disposal of assets no longer
    required for current activities);
--  Gains and losses on minority investments (infrequently occurring and
    principally non-cash gains and losses related to the disposal of
    investments in other companies and non-cash income or loss from these
    investments accounted for under the equity method);
--  Other miscellaneous income;
--  Foreign exchange transaction losses (gains) (non-recurring and
    non-cash charges); and
--  Differences between cash payable for tax and GAAP provision, less
    non-recurring items.

In calculating non-GAAP income (loss) from discontinued operations and non-GAAP income (loss) from discontinued operations per share in this release, we have also excluded gains on disposal of a product line and disposal of discontinued operations.

A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial information to the corresponding GAAP information is set forth below:
