Oplink Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Results


FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oplink Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPLK), a leading provider of design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (OMS) for optical networking components, modules and subsystems, today reported its financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2012, ended January 1, 2012.

Revenues for the second quarter were $43.3 million and GAAP net loss was $1.5 million, or $(0.08) per share. This compares to revenues of $43.4 million and GAAP net income of $1.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, reported in the prior quarter and revenues of $52.0 million and GAAP net income of $8.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, reported in the same period of the prior year.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter was $2.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, as compared to $3.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, reported in the prior quarter, and $10.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, reported in the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP results exclude the items described in the Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to non-GAAP Financial Measures attached to this press release.

Oplink generated $3.8 million in cash from operations, after a $4 million payment to settle a patent lawsuit, and closed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $174.0 million.

"We are generally pleased with our results in the quarter, which were in line with our expectations," commented Joe Liu, Chairman and CEO of Oplink. "Looking ahead, we still see a sluggish overall spending climate in the near term but we are encouraged by slightly improved order patterns. Over the long-term, we expect our investments in new and flexible network technologies to yield additional market share gains as the demand environment improves."

Business Outlook for the Quarter Ending April 1, 2012

For the quarter ending April 1, 2012, the Company expects to report revenues between $40 million and $43 million and GAAP net income per diluted share of approximately $0.01 to $0.07. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets and other non-cash or non-recurring charges, if any, the Company expects earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.07 to $0.13. GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the quarter ending April 1, 2012 assume an effective tax rate of 41% and 36%, respectively.

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, impairment charges, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, litigation settlement payments and non-cash compensation related to stock and options, are not included in Oplink's view of "core operating performance."
