NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of optoelectronic solutions for the highest speed communications networks in telecom and datacenter applications, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

“Our strong revenue and gross margin expansion throughout the year was a result of our leadership in high speed products, serving the largest players in the industry in DCI and the transition of Cloud and hyper-scale data center networks to coherent technologies,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics.

Fourth Quarter Summary

Revenue was $103.4 million, up 12% quarter-over-quarter and 13% year-over-year
Gross margin was 30.2%, up from 28.4% in the prior quarter
Non-GAAP Gross margin was 30.9%, up from 29.0% in the prior quarter
Diluted net income per share was $0.04, compared to $0.05 per share in the prior quarter
Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.10, compared to $0.11 in the prior quarter
Cash generated from operations was $16 million, up from $9 million in the prior quarter
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.5 million, down from $14.2 million in the prior quarter

Non-GAAP results in the fourth quarter of 2019 exclude $3.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.2 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and $0.1 million of gain on sale of assets. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release.

Annual Summary

Revenue in 2019 was $356.8 million, compared to $322.5 million in 2018
Gross margin was 24.9%, compared to 20.5% in 2018
Non-GAAP Gross margin was 27.3%, compared to 22.3% in 2018
Diluted net loss per share was $0.36, compared to $0.97 in 2018
Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.01, compared to a net loss of $0.45 in 2018
Cash generated from operations was $34.7 million, compared to $19.6 million in 2018
Adjusted EBITDA was $32.7 million, compared to $14.2 million in 2018

Non-GAAP results in 2019 exclude $12.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, $5.8 million for inventory write-downs and accelerated depreciation, $1.5 million of divestiture costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and restructuring charges, and $0.9 million of gain on sale of Russia assets. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release.

As of December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash, together totaled $89.1 million, up $9.2 million compared to September 30, 2019 and up $12.4 million year-over-year. Restricted cash as of December 31, 2019 was $11.0 million, approximately flat compared to September 30, 2019.

Outlook for the Quarter Ending March 31, 2020

	*GAAP*	*Non-GAAP*
*Revenue*	$83 to $90 million
*Gross Margin*	27% to 31%	28% to 32%
*Operating Expenses*	$25 to $26 million	$22 to $23 million
*Earnings per share*	$(0.05) to $0.05	$0.00 to $0.10

This outlook includes approximately $10 million of estimated coronavirus-related impacts to Q1 revenue reflecting reduced production in the quarter and added supply chain risks.

The non-GAAP outlook for the first quarter of 2020 excludes the expected impact of stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.3 million, of which $0.6 million is estimated for cost of goods sold, and the impact of expected amortization of intangibles of approximately $0.2 million.

Non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA Measures vs. GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA measures exclude certain GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. NeoPhotonics believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
