II-VI Incorporated Reports Fiscal 2018 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

  • Record Fourth Quarter and FY 2018 Revenue - Surpasses $1.0 Billion
  • Increased Cash Flow From Operations 36% From Prior Year
  • Accelerated Strategic Investments

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II-VI Incorporated (Nasdaq:IIVI) ("II-VI" or the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal fourth quarter and its full year ended June 30, 2018.

“We ended fiscal year 2018 on a high note with 19% revenue growth for the year. We delivered record revenues for the quarter, a strong increase in cash flow from operations, and a solid backlog. We experienced momentum across our end markets as we started FY19,” said Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Mattera added, “For FY18, revenues from the Industrial market grew 19%, Military was up 15%, and Communications increased 6%. Our growth markets of automotive, consumer and semiconductor capital equipment collectively more than doubled, contributing about half of the full year growth.  Our strategic investments in technology and manufacturing scale, including those aimed at keeping our product portfolio differentiated, continued during the early adoption phase of several new emerging markets. The Company delivered positive free cash flow for the year and repatriated $43M related to the new Tax Cut and Jobs Act. As we begin FY19, we look forward to the CoAdna team joining us in about a month when the transaction is expected to close, and combining their wavelength selective switches with our market-leading portfolio of optical communications products.”

Outlook

The outlook for the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 is revenues of $305 million to $315 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.36 to $0.42, including $0.04 for one-time costs of CoAdna. On an adjusted basis, earnings per diluted share is estimated at $0.54 to $0.60 which includes adding back $0.04 for one-time costs for the acquisition of CoAdna, $0.06 of amortization expense, and $0.08 for share-based compensation expense but excluding any refinements to the transition tax as the Company monitors any further guidance on the implementation of the Tax Reform Act.  This is all at prevailing exchange rates. 

Comparable results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were revenues of $262 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.32. The $0.32 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 included $0.02 of expenses relating to the acquisition of Integrated Photonics Inc. and one-time expenses. 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.

The conference call will be broadcast live over the internet and can be accessed by all interested parties from the Company's website at www.ii-vi.com as well as at http://tinyurl.com/y9pu47sc.

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. The adjusted non-GAAP net earnings and the adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share measure the earnings of the Company, excluding non-recurring or unusual items that are considered by the management to be outside the Company’s standard operation and excluding certain non-cash items. 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.
