  • Record Fourth Quarter and Full Year Revenue
  • Record Full Year Bookings Exceed $1.0 Billion

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II-VI Incorporated IIVI ("II-VI" or the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2017.

Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of II-VI said "Our fiscal fourth quarter and full year results reflect significant achievements across all our end markets derived from earlier investments consistent with our growth strategy.  We achieved record quarterly revenue and record annual bookings of over $1 billion, led by a 28% annual revenue growth in our Photonics segment.  Our industry-leading vertical integration strategy served us very well this quarter and this year.  We successfully integrated our fiscal 2016 acquisitions to serve our fast growing markets, including 3D sensing, and in the last few weeks, we acquired two additional companies. Our acquisition of Integrated Photonics and the acquisition we announced this morning of a multi-purpose compound semiconductor wafer fab will further advance our manufacturing leadership in materials and optoelectronic devices.  During fiscal 2018, we expect to see the benefits of our momentum in our growth areas including data centers, next generation wireless and power devices, 3D sensing and EUV lithography."

The Company's strong fiscal 2017 revenue growth reflects the benefits of its continued investments in R&D.  The fiscal 2017 investment in VCSEL technology and product development is helping position the Company for meaningful share in end markets with expected growth in the billions of dollars over the next several years. These R&D investments in the Laser Solutions Segment were $4.6 million and $30.2 million, for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Outlook

The outlook for the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017 is revenues of $250 million to $260 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.30 to $0.34.  The earnings per share guidance include estimated purchase accounting and transaction costs related to the acquisitions of IPI and the newly announced UK Wafer Fab. Collectively, these items are negatively affecting earnings per share guidance by $0.07, including $0.04 of one-time items that will not continue after the first fiscal quarter. These amounts are calculated using prevailing exchange rates. The results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were revenues of $221.5 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.26. As discussed in more detail below, actual results may differ from these forecasts due to various factors including, but not limited to, changes in product demand, competition and general economic conditions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has disclosed financial measurements in this press release that present financial information considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although the Company's management uses these measurements as an aid in monitoring the Company's on-going financial performance.  EBITDA is an adjusted non-GAAP financial measurement that is considered by management to be useful in measuring the profitability between companies within the industry by reflecting operating results of the Company excluding non-operating factors. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including that such measures may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, due to potential differences among calculation methodologies. Thus, there can be no assurance that items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will not occur in the future, or that there could be cash costs associated with items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
