Insights

VIAVI's Q2 FY2025 results reveal a compelling transformation story, marked by strategic diversification and operational efficiency gains. The standout 15.1% growth in Network Enablement ($179.0 million) signals strong market recovery in service provider spending, offsetting weakness in Service Enablement (-13.3%) and Optical Security (-5.3%) segments.

The geographic revenue distribution shows healthy market penetration with Americas leading at 42.9%, followed by Asia-Pacific at 34.6%, suggesting effective regional diversification. The robust cash flow generation of $44.7 million from operations, combined with $512.8 million cash position, provides ample flexibility for strategic investments and market expansion.

The 170 basis point improvement in non-GAAP operating margin to 14.9% reflects successful cost management and operational efficiency initiatives. However, the GAAP margin compression indicates ongoing integration and restructuring costs that merit monitoring.

The acquisition of Inertial Labs strategically positions VIAVI in the aerospace and defense sector, complementing its existing portfolio and potentially opening new revenue streams. The Q3 guidance of $276-288 million revenue suggests management's confidence in sustained growth momentum, particularly in traditional service provider markets and emerging opportunities in data center ecosystems.

CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VIAVI (NASDAQ: VIAV) today reported results for its second quarter ended December 28, 2024 with the following highlights.

Second Quarter

  • Net revenue of $270.8 million, up $16.3 million or 6.4% year-over-year
  • GAAP operating margin of 8.2%, down 60 bps year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP operating margin of 14.9%, up 170 bps year-over-year
  • GAAP net income of $9.1 million, down $1.6 million or 15.0% year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP net income of $29.4 million, up $5.7 million or 24.1% year-over-year 
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.04, down $0.01 or 20.0% year-over-year
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.13, up $0.02 or 18.2% year-over-year

"VIAVI's financial performance exceeded expectations, largely driven by recovering NSE demand. We expect that the recovery in our traditional service provider end markets together with our diversification and growth opportunities in new end markets such as the data center ecosystem and aerospace and defense applications will position us favorably for a long term growth cycle," said Oleg Khaykin, VIAVI's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Inertial Labs, Inc. – Acquisition Update

VIAVI has completed the acquisition of Inertial Labs, Inc. on January 28, 2025.

Business Outlook for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2025 

For the third quarter of fiscal 2025 ending March 29, 2025, the Company expects net revenue to be between $276 million to $288 million and non-GAAP EPS to be between $0.10 to $0.13.

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 January 30, 2025 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 industry and customer base; (d) competitive pressures; (e) 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 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; (f) continued decline of average selling prices across our businesses; (g) notable seasonality and a significant level of in-quarter book-and-ship business; (h) various product and manufacturing transfers, site consolidations, product discontinuances and restructuring and workforce reduction plans, including anticipated cost savings associated with such plans; (i) challenges in execution of business strategy; (j) challenges integrating the businesses the Company has acquired and realizing all of the expected benefits and savings; (k) supply chain and materials constraints and the ability of our suppliers and contract manufacturers to meet production and delivery requirements to our forecasted demand; (l) 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; (m) the uncertain and ongoing impact to our supply chain of geopolitical tensions, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the instability in the Middle East, 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; (n) the impact of infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics on our financial results, revenues, customer demand, business operations and manufacturing and on the business operations of our customers, contract manufacturers and suppliers; and (o) 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 28, 2024. 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.

Use of Non-GAAP (Adjusted) Financial Measures

The Company provides non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS financial measures as supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance and believes providing this additional information allows investors to see Company results through the eyes of management, better understand its financial performance and evaluate the efficacy of the methodology used by management to measure such performance. The Company uses the measures disclosed in this Report 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 represents 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 and acquisition related expenses and other activities that management believes are not reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and core operating activities. 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 EPS, 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, when 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, when calculating non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.

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, 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 EPS 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.
