FIRST FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS
For the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Coherent announced net sales of $383.1 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $35.6 million, or $1.45 per diluted share. These results compare to net sales of $477.6 million and net income of $41.9 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and net sales of $461.5 million and net income of $73.2 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $51.1 million, or $2.09 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was $88.6 million, or $3.54 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 was $78.8 million, or $3.22 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial

measures for the three months ended December 29, 2018, September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net income.”
“Our end markets exhibited a wide range of behavior in the first fiscal quarter. Materials processing was broadly impacted by eroding conditions in China tied to tariffs, rising consumer debt and declining consumer confidence. This was partially offset by wins in Tier 1 automotive with Asian and European suppliers as well as an uptick in medical device manufacturing. Our other commercial markets are faring much better. In microelectronics, semicap and advanced packaging had double-digit bookings growth and the display business was in-line with prior expectations. Orders in our instrumentation business were close to record levels with contributions from bioinstrumentation, medical OEM, aerospace and defense customers,” said John Ambroseo, President and CEO of Coherent. “We remain very optimistic about the long-term opportunities for the industry and for Coherent, but uncertainty in China is clouding our near-term visibility. A tariff deal or local stimulus would provide welcome relief, but it is difficult to predict if or when either might occur,” Ambroseo added.
