Oplink Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

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 fiscal 2010 third quarter, ended March 31, 2010.

Revenues for the quarter were $33.6 million, as compared to $32.7 million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $4.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $5.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Third quarter of fiscal 2010 non-GAAP results exclude $1.3 million in stock compensation and $958,000 in amortization of intangible assets. Second quarter of fiscal 2010 non-GAAP results exclude $1.6 million in stock compensation and $945,000 in amortization of intangibles.

Oplink closed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $184.8 million.

"Despite a shorter quarter, we reported solid revenue and earnings for the period,” commented Joe Liu, CEO of Oplink. "We continue to invest in expanding capacity and improving lead times to meet a stronger demand environment, but production ramp-up remains challenging due to labor and materials shortages. We expect improved capabilities in the coming quarters.”

Business Outlook for the Quarter Ending June 30, 2010

The Company expects to report revenues in the range of $35 million and $38 million and GAAP net income per diluted share in the range of $0.05 to $0.11. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets and other non-cash or non-recurring charges, Oplink expects earnings per diluted share for the period to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.22.

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, while these non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP results, they provide a basis for evaluating the Company’s cash requirements for ongoing operating activities. These non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure as required under Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
