PITTSBURGH, Feb. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (Nasdaq:COHR) (“Coherent,” “We” or the “Company”) today reported results for its fiscal 2023 second quarter ended December 31, 2022.

“Our second quarter of FY23 continued the great start to our new chapter as Coherent Corp. We achieved record quarterly revenue of $1.37 billion, growing 70% year-over-year and 23% organically, despite lingering challenges in the supply chain, by solid contributions from all three of our business Segments - Materials, Networking, and Lasers. We retired $133M of debt during the quarter,” said Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr., Chair and CEO.

“We have developed a clear leadership position in the Communications Market with strong performances this quarter from both our revenue in the Telecom and Datacom markets. Among the many highlights of the quarter were our continued share gains in the rapidly growing high-speed transceiver module marketplace. In our Silicon Carbide materials business, we continue to gain traction as we scale up capacity and accelerate throughput. We remain bullish about our long-term prospects as a market leader.

GAAP diluted EPS in the quarter was a loss of $(0.58) and Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.95 in the quarter. We delivered solid earnings due to our relentless dedication to execution excellence including delivering share gains, focusing intensely on cost control, thoughtfully increasing prices, delivering improved operating efficiencies and on-time launches of industry leading new products.”

Dr. Mattera continued, “Our integration activities are progressing very well with increasing momentum and achievements. I am pleased with how our now combined teams are working together. We have already achieved $30 million synergies on an annualized basis, nearly half of our projected $65 million this year.

We are aware of potential deceleration in the world economies and in some pockets of our end markets in the second half of our fiscal year. However, our diversification, the strength of our backlog, our product portfolio prospects, and a great team give us confidence in delivering a strong FY 23.”

Outlook

The outlook for the third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 is revenue of $1,320 million to $1,370 million and earnings per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis of $0.75 to $0.90. This is at today’s exchange rate and today’s estimated tax rate of 19%. Both of these are subject to variability. For the non-GAAP earnings per share, we added back to the GAAP earnings pre-tax amounts of $95 million in amortization, $30 million in share-based compensation, and $15-$20 million in transaction, integration and restructuring. Refer to Table 8 for the share count range for the aforementioned outlook. Non-GAAP adjustments are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future.

The Company also expects full year revenue between $5,350 to $5,500 million, at today’s exchange rate.

The forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and relate to the Company’s performance on a going-forward basis. The forward-looking statements in this press release involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results, performance or trends to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements herein or in previous disclosures.

The Company believes that all forward-looking statements made by it in this press release have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, or projections as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct. In addition to general industry and global economic conditions, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements in this press release include but are not limited to: (i) the failure of any one or more of the assumptions stated herein to prove to be correct; (ii) the risks relating to forward-looking statements and other “Risk Factors” discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and additional risk factors that may be identified from time to time in filings of the Company; (iii) the substantial indebtedness the Company incurred in connection with its acquisition of Coherent, Inc. (the “Transaction”), the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such debt and the Company’s ability to generate sufficient funds to meet its anticipated debt reduction goals; (iv) the possibility that the Company may not be able to continue its integration progress on, or otherwise be able to achieve expected synergies, operating efficiencies and other benefits within the expected time-frames or at all and ultimately to successfully fully integrate the operations of Coherent, Inc. (“Coherent”) with those of the Company; (v) the possibility that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected or that operating costs and business disruption (including, without limitation, disruptions in relationships with employees, customers or suppliers) may be greater than expected in connection with the Transaction; (vi) any unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the Transaction; (vii) the risk that disruption from the Transaction materially and adversely affects the respective businesses and operations of the Company and Coherent; (viii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the completion of the Transaction; (ix) the ability of the Company to retain and hire key employees; (x) the purchasing patterns of customers and end users; (xi) the timely release of new products, and acceptance of such new products by the market; (xii) the introduction of new products by competitors and other competitive responses; (xiii) the Company’s ability to assimilate other recently acquired businesses, and realize synergies, cost savings, and opportunities for growth in connection therewith, together with the risks, costs, and uncertainties associated with such acquisitions; (xiv) the Company’s ability to devise and execute strategies to respond to market conditions; (xv) the risks to realizing the benefits of investments in R&D and commercialization of innovations; (xvi) the risks that the Company’s stock price will not trade in line with industrial technology leaders; and/or (xvii) the risks of business and economic disruption related to the currently ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and any other worldwide health epidemics or outbreaks that may arise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has disclosed 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 non-GAAP net earnings, the non-GAAP earnings per share, the non-GAAP operating income, the non-GAAP gross profit, the non-GAAP internal research and development, the non-GAAP selling, general and administration, the non-GAAP interest and other (income) expense, and the non-GAAP income tax (benefit), measure earnings and operating income (loss), respectively, excluding non-recurring or unusual items that are considered by management to be outside the Company’s standard operation and excluding certain non-cash items. 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 whether (i) items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will occur in the future or (ii) there will 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.
