Effective September 29, 2019, Coherent adopted ASC 842 - Lease Accounting and applied the new guidance to all leases existing as of the date of adoption. Coherent reported results for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2020 that reflect the application of ASC 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with its historical lease accounting.
"Our Q3 performance is encouraging, even though the current quarter was again impacted by COVID-19. We grew revenue sequentially, with Microelectronics more than overcompensating the headwinds in Material Processing and OEM components. Our focus on operational excellence and cash yielded promising initial results and positions us well for the quarters to come," said Andy Mattes, Coherent President and CEO. "Every day I learn more about the breadth and depth of our company and I am proud to see how our employees are meeting the challenges of a very difficult macro environment."
