PITTSBURGH, Oct. 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II-VI Incorporated (Nasdaq:IIVI) today reported results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013.
On September 12, 2013, the Company acquired the Switzerland-based semiconductor laser business (the "Business") of Oclaro, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCLR). The Business, renamed II-VI Laser Enterprise, has been included in the Company's newly created Active Optical Products segment. The results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 include the operating performance of the Business only since the date of its acquisition. Transaction-related expenses associated with the acquisition of the Business, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were $3.3 million, or $0.05 per share-diluted, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Bookings for the quarter increased 25% to $143.5 million, compared to $114.4 million in the first quarter of last fiscal year. Bookings are defined as customer orders received that are expected to be converted into revenues during the next 12 months.
Revenues for the quarter increased 14% to $151.2 million from $132.3 million in the first quarter of last fiscal year.
Net earnings for the quarter were $9.7 million, or $0.15 per share-diluted, compared to net earnings of $12.7 million, or $0.20 per share-diluted, in the first quarter of last fiscal year. As noted above, transaction-related expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $0.05 per share-diluted. See the reconciliation of reported net earnings to non-GAAP net earnings on the last page of this earnings release.
Francis J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer said, "We are reporting solid operating results for the quarter while we continue to integrate recent acquisitions. We believe these results validate our strategy of investing in vertically-integrated worldwide manufacturing operations. All four of our established business segments contributed positive earnings for the quarter led by Infrared Optics. In our Military & Materials segment, we have begun to realize the benefits of restructuring activities at Pacific Rare Specialty Metals & Chemicals and, for the first time since September 2011, that business achieved positive net earnings. M-Cubed, a business we acquired one year ago, made significant contributions to bookings, revenues and earnings in the Advanced Products Group."
Kramer continued, "We are making good progress on integrating II-VI Laser Enterprise, our newly-acquired Switzerland-based semiconductor laser business, and are investing substantial resources to build on its history of technological innovation in the laser industry. We recently announced an agreement to purchase Oclaro, Inc.'s fiber amplifier and micro-optics business; since these assets complement our existing technologies, they will enable us to introduce new products across multiple applications and markets. In addition, the considerable assets purchased from Oclaro add strategic value through vertical integration, an infusion of new products for sale through existing channels, substantial expansion of our fiber laser product portfolio, manufacturing synergies with Photop, and intellectual property resources of more than 400 patents and license agreements."
Kramer concluded, "Our financial fundamentals remain solid. We continue to generate strong cash flows from operations while existing cash reserves and borrowing capacity enable us to execute our strategy of global leadership in engineered materials and opto-electronic components. While our December 2013 quarter will continue to be impacted by transaction-related and purchase accounting expenses from our recent acquisition activities, the second half of fiscal year 2014 appears promising."
As discussed below under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures," the Company is presenting Non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Please refer to the attached reconciliation between GAAP and adjusted financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Non-GAAP adjusted financial measures.

Update on Acquisition of Oclaro, Inc. Fiber Amplifier and Micro-Optics Business
It was previously announced on October 10, 2013 that the Company had signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire the fiber amplifier and micro-optics business of Oclaro, Inc., the closing of which was dependent on the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of various regulatory approvals. The Company announced today that it has received all of the necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the acquisition of the business, and as such, the currently expected closing date for the transaction is November 1, 2013. At closing, the Company will pay $79.6 million in cash to Oclaro, $4 million of cash will be held back by the Company until December 31, 2014, and the remaining $5 million was previously paid to Oclaro on September 12, 2013 as an option to purchase the fiber amplifier and micro-optics business for a total transaction value of $88.6 million.
Outlook
For the second fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013, the Company currently forecasts revenues to range from $170 million to $178 million and earnings per share to range from $0.12 to $0.15. Comparable results for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 were revenues of $125.9 million and earnings per share of $0.19. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, the Company currently expects revenues to range from $730 million to $740 million and earnings per share to range from $0.75 to $0.82. Comparable results for the year ended June 30, 2013 were revenues of $558.4 million and earnings per share of $0.80. The forecasts for the quarter ending December 31, 2013 and the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 assume that the fiber amplifier and micro-optics business transaction closes effective November 1, 2013. As discussed in more detail below, actual results may differ from these forecasts due to various factors including, but not limited to, changes in product demand, competition and general economic conditions.
Webcast Information

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has disclosed adjusted financial measurements in this press release that present financial information that is not in accordance with GAAP. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although the Company's management uses these measurements as an aid in monitoring the Company's on-going financial performance. The adjusted Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated and adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per share measure the earnings of the Company excluding unusual items that are considered by management to be outside of the normal on-going operations of the Company. There are limitations with the use of Non-GAAP financial measures, including that Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies, that there can be no assurance that excluded items in the Non-GAAP financial measures will not occur in the future and that there could be cash costs associated with items excluded in the Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these Non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the Non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
