Insights

Reviewing the reported financial results, there is a noticeable decline in net revenue year-over-year by 10.5%, which could raise concerns among investors regarding the company's growth trajectory. However, an 80 basis points improvement in GAAP operating margin suggests cost management initiatives may be yielding results. The increase in GAAP diluted EPS by 25% year-over-year, despite a decrease in non-GAAP diluted EPS, indicates a potential discrepancy between reported earnings and adjusted earnings, which often exclude one-time costs or benefits and provide a view of ongoing operations.

From a liquidity standpoint, the company's substantial cash and investment holdings of $571.8 million offer a buffer against market volatility and strategic flexibility for potential investments or acquisitions. The mix of senior convertible notes and senior notes with varying interest rates reflects a diversified debt structure, which could be a strategic move to balance cost of capital and financial flexibility.

The forward-looking statements suggest management's expectation of continued demand in certain product segments, which could mitigate the impact of weaker service provider spending. However, the broad range in the earnings per share guidance for the next quarter indicates uncertainty and warrants monitoring for potential volatility in future performance.

Examining the performance by segment, the Network Enablement (NE) segment's year-over-year revenue decline of 15.2% could be indicative of market saturation or increased competition in this space. The slight year-over-year increase in the Service Enablement (SE) segment suggests stability, albeit not enough to offset the declines elsewhere. The Optical Security and Performance Products segment also experienced a slight decline, which may reflect market trends or shifts in consumer demand.

Geographically, the revenue distribution across Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA provides insight into the company's global footprint and market dependencies. The nearly even spread suggests a diversified market presence, which can be beneficial in buffering regional economic fluctuations. However, it is essential to analyze specific regional trends that might affect future revenue streams.

The company's financial performance should be contextualized within the broader economic environment. The decline in revenue could be symptomatic of macroeconomic headwinds, such as reduced corporate spending in anticipation of economic downturns or the impact of global trade tensions on supply chains. The company's ability to improve its operating margin in such an environment could be seen as a positive sign of operational resilience.

Additionally, the company's debt profile, with varying maturities and interest rates, showcases a strategic approach to capital structure management in a potentially rising interest rate environment. The cash flow generation of $20.4 million from operations is a critical metric, as it reflects the company's capacity to self-finance and sustain its operations without additional debt or equity financing.

Second Quarter

  • Net revenue of $254.5 million, down $30.0 million or 10.5% year-over-year
  • GAAP operating margin of 8.8%, up 80 bps year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP operating margin of 13.2%, down 300 bps year-over-year
  • GAAP diluted Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.05, up $0.01 or 25.0% year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.11, down $0.03 or 21.4% year-over-year

CHANDLER, Ariz., Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI (NASDAQ: VIAV) today reported results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2023.

Second quarter of fiscal 2024 net revenue was $254.5 million. GAAP net income was $10.7 million, or $0.05 per share. Non-GAAP net income was $23.7 million, or $0.11 per share.

First quarter of fiscal 2024 net revenue was $247.9 million. GAAP net income was $9.8 million, or $0.04 per share. Non-GAAP net income was $19.5 million, or $0.09 per share.

Second quarter of fiscal 2023 net revenue was $284.5 million. GAAP net income was $8.4 million, or $0.04 per share. Non-GAAP net income was $31.5 million, or $0.14 per share.

"The December quarter came in stronger than expected. Revenue was slightly above the mid-point of our guidance, helped by stronger demand for 400G/800G Fiber, Mil/Aero, and SE products. EPS came in above the high end of our guidance, driven by a richer margin revenue mix. In the near term, we expect stronger demand in the above segments to help offset continued weakness in Service Provider spend" said Oleg Khaykin, VIAVI's President and Chief Executive Officer.

The tables below (in millions, except percentage, and per share data) provide comparisons of quarterly results to prior periods, including sequential quarterly and year-over-year changes.

(1)  Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, management of certain products moved from the SE segment to the NE segment to better align with operational and go-to-market strategies. As a result, prior period balances have been recast to reflect the impact to net revenue, gross profit and gross margin.

  • Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA customers represented 40.5%, 31.2% and 28.3%, respectively, of total net revenue for the quarter ended December 30, 2023.
  • As of December 30, 2023, the Company held $571.8 million in total cash, short-term investments and short-term restricted cash.
  • As of December 30, 2023, the Company had $96.4 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Senior Convertible Notes, $250 million aggregate principal amount of 1.625% Senior Convertible Notes and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Senior Notes with a total net carrying value of $729.1 million.
  • During the fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2023, the Company generated $20.4 million of cash flows from operations.

Business Outlook for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2024

For the third quarter of fiscal 2024 ending March 30, 2024, the Company expects net revenue to be between $245 million to $253 million and non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.05 to $0.09.

With respect to our expectations above, the Company has not reconciled GAAP net income per share to non-GAAP EPS in this press release because it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate estimate of certain reconciling items described in the "Use of Non-GAAP (Adjusted) Financial Measures" section below and the information is not available without unreasonable effort as a result of the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amounts of certain items, including certain charges related to restructuring, acquisition, integration and related charges. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that may be confusing or misleading to investors.

Conference Call

The Company will discuss these results and other related matters at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time on February 1, 2024 in a live webcast, which will also be archived for replay on the Company's website at https://investor.viavisolutions.com.  The Company will post supplementary slides outlining the Company's latest financial results on https://investor.viavisolutions.com under the "Quarterly Results" section concurrently with this earnings press release. This press release is being furnished as a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and will be available at www.sec.gov.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include any expectation, anticipation or guidance as to future financial performance, including future revenue, gross margin, operating expense, operating margin, profitability targets, cash flow and other financial metrics, as well as the impact and duration of certain trends and market position and conditions, including market stabilization and recovery. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. In particular, the Company's ability to predict future financial performance continues to be difficult due to, among other things: (a) continuing general limited visibility across many of our product lines; (b) quarter-over-quarter product mix fluctuations, which can materially impact profitability measures due to the broad gross margin ranges across our portfolio; (c) consolidations in our customer base; (d) unforeseen changes or deceleration in the demand for current and new products, technologies, services, delays or unforeseen events in the roll-out of new industry platforms such as 5G or evolving technology such as 3D sensing and customer purchasing delays due to macroeconomic conditions, tightening of expenditures or as they assess or transition to such new technologies and/or architectures, all of which limit near-term demand visibility, and could negatively impact potential revenue; (e) continued decline of average selling prices across our businesses; (f) notable seasonality and a significant level of in-quarter book-and-ship business; (g) various product and manufacturing transfers, site consolidations, product discontinuances and restructuring and workforce reduction plans, including anticipated cost savings associated with such plans; (h) challenges integrating the businesses  the Company has acquired and realizing all of the expected benefits and savings; (i) supply chain and materials constraints and the ability of our suppliers and contract manufacturers to meet production and delivery requirements to our forecasted demand; (j) potential disruptions or delays to our manufacturing and operations due to climate conditions and natural disasters in the regions where we operate, such as wildfires, drought conditions and related water shortages in Arizona, as well as wildfires in Northern California and related blackouts and power outages in that region; (k) the uncertain and ongoing impact to our supply chain of military conflicts, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the escalating armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, tariffs, sanctions and other trade measures imposed by domestic and foreign governments, adverse actions and escalating tensions with foreign governments, including China, and the possibility of escalation of "trade wars," cyber-attacks, and retaliatory measures; (l) the impact of infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics including the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our financial results, revenues, customer demand, business operations and manufacturing and on the business operations of our customers, contract manufacturers and suppliers; and (m) inherent uncertainty related to global markets, including inflationary pressures, recessions, tightening monetary policy and liquidity, and the effect of such markets on demand for our products. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. For more information on the risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's business, please refer to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" sections of the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date thereof and the Company assumes no obligation to update such statements. We have not filed our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 30, 2023. As a result, all financial results described in this earnings release should be considered preliminary, and are subject to change to reflect any necessary adjustments or changes in accounting estimates, that are identified prior to the time we file the Form 10-Q.

(1) Other items include charges (benefits) unrelated to core operating performance primarily consisting of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, restructuring, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and other charges unrelated to core operating performance.

(2) Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, management of certain products moved from the SE segment to the NE segment to better align with operational and go-to-market strategies. As a result, prior period balances have been recast to reflect the impact to net revenue, gross profit and gross margin.



The preliminary financial schedules are estimated based on our current information.

Use of Non-GAAP (Adjusted) Financial Measures

The Company provides non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA financial measures as supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance. The Company uses the measures disclosed in this release to evaluate the Company's historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses these items to further its own understanding of the Company's core operating performance, which the Company believes represent its performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes from core operating performance items such as those relating to certain purchase price accounting adjustments, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation, legal settlements, restructuring, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and certain investing expenses and other activities that management believes are not reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and core operating activities. The Company believes excluding these items enables investors to evaluate more clearly and consistently the Company's core operational performance.

The Company believes providing this additional information allows investors to see Company results through the eyes of management. The Company further 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 performance.

The non-GAAP adjustments described in this release are excluded by the Company from its GAAP financial measures because the Company believes excluding these items enables investors to evaluate more clearly and consistently the Company's core operational performance. The non-GAAP adjustments are outlined below.

Cost of revenues, costs of research and development and costs of selling, general and administrative: The Company's GAAP presentation of gross margin and operating expenses may include (i) additional depreciation and amortization from changes in estimated useful life and the write-down of certain property, equipment and intangibles that have been identified for disposal but remained in use until the date of disposal, (ii) charges such as severance, benefits and outplacement costs related to restructuring plans, (iii) 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, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) amortization expense related to acquired intangibles, (vi) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and (vii) other charges unrelated to our core operating performance comprised mainly of acquisition related transaction costs, integration costs related to acquired entities, litigation and legal settlements and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations, including transformational initiatives such as the implementation of simplified automated processes, site consolidations, and reorganizations. The Company excludes these items in calculating non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

Non-cash interest expense and other expense: The Company excludes certain investing expenses, including accretion of debt discount, and other non-cash activities that management believes are not reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and core operating activities, in calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.

Income tax expense or benefit: The Company excludes certain non-cash tax expense or benefit items, such as the utilization of net operating losses where valuation allowances were released, intra-period tax allocation benefit and the tax effect for amortization of non-tax deductible intangible assets, in calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share.

Interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments: The Company's EBITDA calculation primarily excludes interest income and other income (expense), interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other items that are not part of its core operating performance described above. The Company's adjusted EBITDA excludes items in addition to the items excluded from the EBITDA calculation, such as stock-based compensation, restructuring and related charges (benefits), gain or loss on sale of available for-sale investments, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities arising from prior acquisitions and other charges related to activities that are not part of its core operating performance described above. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is a helpful indicator of the Company's core operational cash flow.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, preferable to, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income is net income. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP earnings per share is net income per share. The Company believes these GAAP measures alone are not fully indicative of its core operating expenses and performance and that providing non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP measures provides valuable supplemental information regarding the Company's overall performance.
