THIRD FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS
For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, Coherent announced net sales of $339.2 million and net loss, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $(3.1) million, or $(0.13) per diluted share. In June 2019, the company internally announced its plans to relocate the manufacturing and engineering of its High Power Fiber Lasers products (HPFL) at its Hamburg, Germany facility to its Tampere, Finland location and exit a portion of its HPFL business sometime in fiscal 2020. In conjunction with this announcement, the company recorded a restructuring charge, related to estimated severance and inventory write-offs, in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 of $20.9 million, which was the primary driver of the GAAP net loss in the quarter. These results compare to net sales of $482.3 million and net income of $67.0 million, or $2.69 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and net sales of $372.9 million and net income of $20.8 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2019.
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $32.1 million, or $1.33 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $87.3 million, or $3.51 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $39.2 million, or $1.61 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended June 29, 2019, March 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 and nine months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net income."
"The June quarter highlighted contrasting outlooks for two major markets. We received the first new order for the phase 2 buildout of OLED production capacity. This is a welcome development given our competitive positioning in a cycle that could extend as far as 2023. In materials processing, headwinds strengthened during the quarter due to a combination of weakening macro demand, continued pressure from tariffs and aggressive discounting in China from domestic and foreign competitors. Reinvigorating demand and resolving tariffs requires government actions. Addressing the competitive dynamic is based upon products and applications, which led us to put greater emphasis on welding and joining where invention and process IP is still being created," said John Ambroseo, President and CEO of Coherent. "We are also taking steps to improve the overall efficiency of our business. We have launched two site consolidation projects that we expect to generate approximately $24 million in annual run rate savings upon completion," Ambroseo added.
