II-VI Incorporated Reports Record Quarterly Bookings and Revenues; Increases Fiscal Year 2011 Guidance

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 25, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II-VI Incorporated (Nasdaq:IIVI) today reported results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010.

On January 4, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of Photop Technologies, Inc. (Photop). Company results include Photop's results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010. On December 7, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of Max Levy Autograph, Inc. (MLA). Company results for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010 include the operating results of MLA since the acquisition date.

Bookings for the quarter increased 71% to a record $134,128,000, compared to $78,311,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Bookings for the six months ended December 31, 2010 increased 62% to $246,178,000 from $151,647,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Included in bookings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 were $29.6 million and $57.6 million, respectively, of bookings attributable to Photop.  Bookings are defined as customer orders received that are expected to be converted into revenues during the next 12 months. 

Revenues for the quarter increased 76% to a record $120,887,000 from $68,785,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2010 increased 79% to $241,021,000 from $134,323,000. Included in revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 were $31.0 million and $57.7 million, respectively, of revenues attributable to Photop.

Net earnings attributed to II-VI Incorporated for the quarter were $19,157,000, or $0.60 per share-diluted, compared with net earnings of $5,981,000, or $0.20 per share-diluted, in the second quarter of last fiscal year. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated were $37,524,000 or $1.18 per share-diluted compared to net earnings of $12,287,000 or $0.41 per share-diluted in the second quarter of last fiscal year.   

Francis J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer said, "During the quarter we continued to experience strong customer demand across all markets. Bookings were up 71%, revenues increased 76% and earnings tripled from the year-ago quarter. Orders in the Infrared Optics and Military & Materials segments were particularly robust – up 45% and 60%, respectively, from the year-ago quarter and 14% and 94%, respectively, from September 30, 2010. As a result, our order backlog stands at $163.5 million, an increase of 36% from December 31, 2009 and 10% from September 30, 2010. Company earnings benefited from operating efficiencies."

Kramer concluded, "We continue to generate significant cash from operations. We used some of it to finance the MLA acquisition. In addition, we made strategic capital investments across all businesses to adjust production capacity to meet increased market demand. After those expenditures, our net cash position increased more than $6 million during the quarter. Positive market momentum, strong operating performance and a record order backlog allowed us to increase our revenue and earnings guidance for the remainder of the fiscal year."

Segment Information

The following segment information includes segment earnings (defined as earnings before income taxes, interest expense and other expense or income, net). Management believes segment earnings are a useful performance measure because they reflect the results of segment performance over which management has direct control.
