PITTSBURGH, Jan. 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II-VI Incorporated (Nasdaq:IIVI) ("II-VI" or the "Company") today reported results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Francis J. Kramer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “It was a busy quarter for our Company. We delivered solid operating results and, as recently announced, we executed definitive agreements to acquire two companies. Our Photonics segment significantly increased revenues and earnings, and its bookings were the catalyst for the Company’s book to bill ratio of 1.08.

Despite sluggishness in China and in our industrial markets, we are very encouraged about the prospects ahead for all of our business segments.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has disclosed adjusted financial measurements in this press release that present financial information considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. 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 and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share measure the earnings of the Company, excluding non-recurring or unusual items that are considered by management to be outside of the Company’s standard operations. EBITDA is an adjusted non-GAAP financial measurement that is considered by management to be useful in measuring the profitability between companies within the industry by reflecting operating results of the Company excluding non-operating factors. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including that such measures may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, due to potential differences among calculation methodologies. Thus, there can be no assurance that items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will not occur in the future, or that there could be cash costs associated with items excluded from 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.
