Oplink Reports Solid Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results


FREMONT, Calif., May 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oplink Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPLK), a leading provider of design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (OMS) for optical networking components, modules and subsystems, today reported its financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2011, ended March 31, 2011.

Revenues for the quarter were $53.5 million, an increase of 59% over the same period of the prior year. GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $8.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, an increase of 221% over $2.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, reported in the same period of the prior year.

Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $10.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, an increase of 119% over $4.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, reported in the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP results reflect the adjustments described in the Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to non-GAAP Financial Measures attached to this press release.

Oplink generated $16.3 million in cash from operations during the third quarter, and closed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $196.0 million.

"We are pleased with our performance in the quarter," commented Joe Liu, Chairman and CEO of Oplink. "We continue to focus on higher-speed precision optics, switching and WSS product introductions, and enhancing our gross margin through integration and miniaturization. However, we have experienced spending slowdowns at selected customers for the coming quarter, which are reflected in our outlook. With our comprehensive, integrated metro DWDM product offerings, we remain optimistic about our market position and long-term growth."

Business Outlook for the Quarter Ending June 30, 2011

For the quarter ending June 30, 2011, the Company expects to report revenues between $43 million and $47 million and GAAP net income per diluted share of approximately $0.12 to $0.18. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets and other non-cash or non-recurring charges, if any, the Company expects earnings per diluted share for the quarter ending June 30, 2011 of approximately $0.22 to $0.28.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this earnings release and during the earnings conference call and webcast as described above, Oplink will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying tables.

Oplink believes that providing these non-GAAP measures to its investors provides investors the benefit of viewing Oplink's performance using the same financial metrics that the management team uses in making many key decisions and evaluating how Oplink's "core operating performance" and its results of operations may look in the future. Oplink defines "core operating performance" as its on-going performance in the ordinary course of its operations. Items that are non-recurring or do not involve cash expenditures, such as impairment charges, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash compensation related to stock and options, are not included in Oplink's view of "core operating performance."
