NeoPhotonics Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

  • Separately, NeoPhotonics and Lumentum Holdings Inc jointly announced a definitive agreement under which Lumentum would acquire NeoPhotonics for $16.00 per share in cash
  • NeoPhotonics cancels today’s regular conference call to discuss third quarter results

NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading developer of silicon photonics and advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit-based lasers, modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications networks, today announced financial results for its third quarter of 2021.

“With our very strong performance in the third quarter, we have returned to operating profit on a non-GAAP basis, as we forecasted one year ago. Operating income on a GAAP basis was a loss of $1.3 million, a substantial improvement over our second quarter. Our accelerated growth has been driven by products for 400G and above applications, including the initial ramp of 400ZR and related products, adding to our 400G and above suite,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics.

Third Quarter 2021 Summary

  • Revenue at $83.7 million at the high end of range, up 29% quarter-over-quarter and down 18% year-over-year
  • Gross margin was 28.4%, up from 15.2% in the prior quarter
  • Non-GAAP gross margin was 29.4%, up from 21.7% in the prior quarter
  • Operating income was a loss of $1.3 million, up from a loss of $16.3 million in the prior quarter.
  • Non-GAAP operating income was positive $1.3 million, up from a loss of $10.3 million in the prior quarter
  • Net loss per share was $0.04, compared to net loss of $0.34 per share in the prior quarter
  • Non-GAAP net earnings per share was $0.01, compared to Non-GAAP net loss of $0.22 per share in the prior quarter
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $6.7 million, up from a negative $5.4 million in the prior quarter

Product Milestones

  • Products capable of use for 400G and above applications were 50% of revenue
  • We announced that we have shipped more than two million tunable lasers cumulatively, used in the majority of the total coherent ports delivered since their inception a decade ago.
  • We announced a new frequency modulated continuous wave laser (FMCW). This laser, together with a high power semiconductor optical amplifier, or SOA, is used in coherent LIDAR applications for autonomous vehicles and for precision industrial instruments.

As of September 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaled $105 million. Free Cash Flow was ($3.6) million. Cash from operations was $0.1 million, including a $4.4 million increase in inventory to buffer the supply chain. Capital purchases were $3.7 million. We drew down $15 million of debt from one of our China credit facilities.

Non-GAAP results in the third quarter of 2021 exclude $2.2 million of stock-based compensation and $0.4 million of accelerated depreciation, amortization and other charges. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release.

Related Announcement and Conference Calls

In a separate press release issued today, Lumentum Holdings Inc. and NeoPhotonics (NYSE: NPTN) jointly announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Lumentum will acquire all outstanding shares of NeoPhotonics in an all-cash transaction of $16.00 per share, giving a fully diluted equity value of approximately $918 million. A copy of the press release can be found on the Company’s investor relations website https://ir.neophotonics.com/.

Because of the announced transaction, NeoPhotonics’ earnings call scheduled for November 4, 2021 at 4:30 pm EDT will no longer take place.

Lumentum will host a conference call today, November 4, 2021, at 5:30 am PT/8:30 am ET to discuss the announced transaction. Information about today's call and the related transaction announcement is available on the Lumentum website at http://investor.lumentum.com.

Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA Measures vs. GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA measures exclude certain GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. NeoPhotonics believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

Conference Call

The Company will not be hosting a conference call today.
