For the fourth fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020, Coherent announced net sales of $316.8 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $7.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share.
These results compare to net sales of $335.5 million and net income of $0.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, and net sales of $298.3 million and net loss of $8.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 was $21.4 million, or $0.89 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was $12.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended October 3, 2020, July 4, 2020, and September 28, 2019 and for the fiscal years ended October 3, 2020 and September 28, 2019 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net income (loss)".
Exhibit 99.1
For the fiscal year ended October 3, 2020, Coherent posted net sales of $1,229.0 million and net loss on a GAAP basis of $414.1 million, or $17.18 per diluted share, compared to the prior year net sales of $1,430.6 million and net income on a GAAP basis of $53.8 million, or $2.22 per diluted share. The net loss for fiscal 2020 includes $424.3 million, net of tax, in non-cash goodwill and other impairment charges, primarily related to the impairment of all goodwill and certain long-lived assets in our Industrial Lasers & Systems segment in the second quarter. For the fiscal year ended October 3, 2020, Coherent posted net income on a non-GAAP basis of $72.6 million, or $3.00 per diluted share, compared to the prior year net income on a non-GAAP basis of $143.8 million, or $5.92 per diluted share.
Effective September 29, 2019, Coherent adopted ASC 842 - Lease Accounting and applied the new guidance to all leases existing as of the date of adoption. Coherent reported results for all quarters of fiscal 2020 that reflect the application of ASC 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with its historical lease accounting.
“Our Q4 financial results demonstrated early progress in our good to great transformation. We grew bookings and revenue from Q3, and with many of the university and research facilities re-opening, the Scientific and OEM instrumentation markets were the key drivers in the quarter. Our focus on operational excellence and maintaining a strong balance sheet manifested itself in improved sequential margins and strong growth in our fiscal year end cash balance,” said Andy Mattes, Coherent President and CEO. “I’ve now passed the six-month mark with the company and I continue to be energized by the number of opportunities in innovative markets like microelectronics, instrumentation, precision manufacturing, and aerospace & defense.”

Coherent will host a conference call today to discuss its financial results at 1:30 P.M. Pacific (4:30 P.M. Eastern).
