QUEBEC CITY, CANADA, October 11, 2011—EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO, TSX: EXF) reported today record sales and bookings for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011.

Annual sales increased 33.0% to US$269.7 million in fiscal 2011 from US$202.8 million in 2010. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, sales totaled US$64.4 million compared to US$67.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 and US$58.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Sales exclude revenue from the divested Life Sciences and Industrial Division (referred to as “discontinued operations” in financial statements).

Overall for fiscal 2011, bookings improved 28.8% to US$272.3 million from US$211.4 million in 2010 for an annual book-to-bill ratio of 1.01. In the fourth quarter of 2011, bookings totaled US$62.5 million for a book-to-bill ratio of 0.97 compared to US$61.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 and US$55.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Gross margin reached 62.8% of sales in fiscal 2011 compared to 63.6% in 2010. In the fourth quarter of 2011, gross margin amounted to 63.6% of sales compared to 64.2% in the third quarter of 2011 and 64.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010.

In fiscal 2011, GAAP net earnings totaled US$19.3 million, or US$0.31 per diluted share, including a foreign exchange loss of US$3.8 million. Net earnings from continuing operations (Telecom business) amounted to US$6.4 million, or US$0.10 per diluted share. It should be noted that EXFO recorded an after-tax gain of US$13.1 million, or US$0.21 per diluted share, from the disposal of discontinued operations (Life Sciences and Industrial business) in fiscal 2011. GAAP net earnings in 2011 also included US$9.2 million in amortization of intangible assets and US$2.3 million in stock-based compensation costs. The former item resulted in an income tax recovery of US$0.5 million.

In fiscal 2010, GAAP net earnings totaled US$6.6 million, or US$0.11 per diluted share, including US$7.8 million in amortization of intangible assets and US$1.8 million in stock-based compensation costs. The former item resulted in an income tax recovery of US$1.3 million. GAAP net earnings included a loss of US$1.5 million in 2010.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, GAAP net earnings amounted to US$1.9 million, or US$0.03 per diluted share, including US$2.1 million in amortization of intangible assets and US$0.5 million in stock-based compensation costs. The former item resulted in an income tax recovery of US$0.1 million.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, GAAP net earnings totaled US$1.7 million, or US$0.03 per diluted share, including US$2.1 million in amortization of intangible assets and US$0.4 million in stock-based compensation costs. The former item resulted in an income tax recovery of US$0.1 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, GAAP net earnings amounted to US$5.0 million, or US$0.08 per diluted share, including US$2.5 million in amortization of intangible assets and US$0.5 million in stock-based compensation costs. The former item resulted in an income tax recovery of US$0.2 million.

“After posting exceptional 32% sales growth in fiscal 2010, I am quite pleased that we surpassed it with a 33% increase and solid earnings results in 2011, as we delivered robust growth across all geographic regions and product areas,” said Germain Lamonde, EXFO’s Chairman, President and CEO. “In the process, we expanded our percentage of business from two strategic sectors — the wireless industry at large and Tier-1 network operators — allowing us to increase revenues much faster than our end-markets. As a result, EXFO gained market share for a 26th consecutive year based on relentless innovation, customer delight and focus on execution. I remain confident that EXFO is uniquely positioned to benefit from key growth opportunities in the telecom industry, despite uncertainty in the global economy.”

Fiscal 2011 Highlights

§  
IP Fixed and Mobile Network Convergence and Broadband Deployments — Growth in optical and high-speed networking, Ethernet/OTN, and 2G/3G/LTE revenues, market-share gains, a full-year revenue contribution from NetHawk, and calendar 2010 year-end budget spending contributed to deliver an annual sales increase of 33.0% to US$269.7 million in fiscal 2011. Optical, Protocol and Copper Access sales improved 27.9%, 38.4%, and 37.8%, respectively, in fiscal 2011. Geographically, sales increased 29.3% in the Americas, 41.7% in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and 29.8% in Asia-Pacific in 2011. EXFO’s largest customer accounted for 7.2% of sales in 2011, while the company’s top three customers represented 16.3%.

§  
Profitable Growth Path — Adjusted EBITDA* in dollars increased 12.0% to $30.6 million in fiscal 2011 on total sales of US$271.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA* was negatively affected by a foreign exchange loss of US$3.8 million. Cash flows from operations reached US$23.3 million in 2011.

Business Outlook
EXFO forecasts sales between US$65 million and US$70 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, while net earnings should range between US$0.01 and US$0.05 per diluted share. Net earnings include US$0.04 per share in after-tax amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation costs. The company also anticipates a pre-tax, foreign exchange gain of US$0.02 per share following the significant decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar since August 31, 2011.

This guidance was established by management based on existing backlog as of the date of this press release, seasonality, expected bookings for the remaining of the quarter, as well as exchange rates as of the day of this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Words such as may, will, expect, believe, anticipate, intend, could, estimate, continue, or the negative or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events and circumstances are considered forward-looking statements. They are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements due to various factors including economic uncertainty (including our ability to quickly adapt cost structures with anticipated levels of business, ability to manage inventory levels with market demand); future economic, competitive, financial and market conditions; capital spending levels in the telecommunications industry; limited visibility with regards to customer orders and the timing of such orders; fluctuating exchange rates; our ability to successfully integrate our acquired and to-be-acquired businesses; consolidation in the global telecommunications test and service assurance industry and increased competition among vendors; concentration of sales; market acceptance of our new products and other upcoming products; our ability to successfully expand international operations; and the retention of key technical and management personnel. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments and risks, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Other risk factors that may affect our future performance and operations are detailed in our Annual Report, on Form 20-F, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian securities commissions. We believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to us, but we cannot assure you that the expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this press release. Unless required by law or applicable regulations, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any of them to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this document.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EXFO provides non-GAAP financial measures (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA*) as supplemental information regarding its operational performance. The company uses these measures for the purposes of evaluating its historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help EXFO’s management to plan and forecast for future periods as well as to make operational and strategic decisions. EXFO believes that providing this information, in addition to GAAP measures, allows investors to see the company’s results through the eyes of management, and to better understand the company’s historical and future financial performance.

The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
