The tables above provide comparisons of quarterly results to prior periods, including sequential quarterly and year-over-year changes. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is contained in this release under the section titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Business Outlook

The Company expects the following for the fiscal second quarter 2018:

  • Net Revenue to be in the range of $345 million to $375 million
  • Non-GAAP Operating margin of 21.0% to 23.0%
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.05 to $1.25;

Note:  Earnings per share based on approximately 65.3 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis

Our projection of 65.3 million shares outstanding does not include the potentially dilutive effect of the convertible notes, as we intend to settle the face value in cash. The notes will have an impact on our non-GAAP diluted EPS when the average price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price of $60.62.

 We have not provided reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP measures for our outlook. A large portion of non-GAAP adjustments, such as derivative liability adjustments, restructuring, stock-based compensation, litigation, and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future. For example, the unrealized gain (loss) on the derivative liability for Series A Preferred Stock in our fiscal first quarter of 2018 was a gain of $4.2 million, as compared to a loss of $(5.5) million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2017. The Series A Preferred Stock derivative liability is revalued based on the fair market value of our common stock on the last day of each fiscal quarter, which is difficult to predict and subject to change. On June 29, 2017, we met the requirements to account for the conversion option of the Convertible Senior Notes as equity and the conversion option will no longer be marked to market.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, Lumentum provides investors with gross margin, operating margin, net income, and net income (loss) per share on a non-GAAP basis. Lumentum believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. Specifically, the Company believes that providing this information allows investors to better understand the Company's financial performance and, importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such operating performance.  However, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies.

Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes and non-GAAP expenses exclude (i) workforce related charges such as severance, retention bonuses and employee relocation costs related to formal restructuring plans, (ii) costs for facilities not required for ongoing operations, and costs related to the relocation of certain equipment from these facilities and/or contract manufacturer facilities, (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v) amortization of acquired developed technologies, (vi) non-cash interest expense, (vii) unrealized loss on derivative liability, (viii) warranty charges related to our vendor quality issues with expected future recoveries and (ix) other charges comprising mainly of inventory write-downs due to cancelled programs, as well as, acquisition, integration, litigation and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations including post-separation activities such as small site consolidations, reorganizations, insourcing or outsourcing of activities, severance related costs and transition related costs for the separation from Viavi Solutions Inc. (formerly JDS Uniphase Corporation) on July 31, 2015. Management does not believe that these non-GAAP items are reflective of the Company's underlying operating performance. The presentation of these and other similar items in Lumentum's non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

A quantitative reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data with respect to historical periods is included in the supplemental financial table attached to this press release.
