SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2019-- NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of optoelectronic solutions for the highest speed communications networks in telecom and data center applications, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“Q2 was a volatile quarter for NeoPhotonics and I am proud of our team and their continued focus and execution to extend our leadership position in high-speed digital optoelectronics while making changes needed to adjust for the Huawei ban,” said Tim Jenks, NeoPhotonics Chairman and CEO. “Market drivers are well aligned with our advanced technologies and high-speed capabilities. These trends transcend the current Huawei ban and, coupled with the continued demand with hyperscale data centers, we are optimistic about NeoPhotonics’ new product prospects,” concluded Mr. Jenks.

Second Quarter Summary

  • Revenue was $81.7 million, up 3% quarter-over-quarter and up 1% year-over-year
  • Gross margin was 19.2%, down from 19.8 % in the prior quarter
  • Non-GAAP Gross margin was 25.6%, up from 22.4% in the prior quarter
  • Diluted net loss per share was $0.16, up from a net loss of $0.30 per share in the prior quarter
  • Non-GAAP diluted net loss per share was $0.03, up from net loss per share of $0.19 in the prior quarter
  • Cash generated from operations was $0.7 million, down from $8.7 million in the prior quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million, up from a loss of $0.8 million in the prior quarter

Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA Measures vs. GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s non-GAAP and adjusted EBITDA measures exclude certain GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. NeoPhotonics believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
