Exhibit 99.1
Oclaro Provides Updated Revenue Guidance for
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2011
Third Quarter of Fiscal 2011
Conference Call to Discuss Q3 Fiscal 2011 Financial Results on April 28, 2011
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 5, 2011 Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a tier-one provider of optical
communications and laser solutions, today announced it currently expects revenues for the third
quarter of fiscal 2011, ended April 2, 2011, to be approximately $116.5 million. This compares with
revenue of $120.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, ended January 1, 2011, and compares
with the estimate of $123 million to $131 million the Company provided on January 27, 2011.
The revenue shortfall from the previous estimate resulted primarily from inventory corrections
among certain of the Companys telecom customers that began during the quarter and continued
through the end of the quarter. The Company also expects a correlation between this lowered
revenue estimate for the quarter, and the estimated level of gross
margins and Adjusted EBITDA for
the quarter.
The Company currently has a cautious short term view of revenues for its quarter ended July 2,
2011, however, it remains confident in the solid fundamentals of its business. This confidence is
based on an expected book-to-bill ratio of approximately 1:1 in telecom for the third fiscal
quarter, with particular bookings strength late in the quarter, as well as scheduled new product
introductions and the Companys belief in the fundamental underlying demand for broadband.
Oclaro cautions that its anticipated revenue results are preliminary and based on the best
information currently available, and are subject to completion of the financial statements for the
third quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company will announce its financial results for the third quarter
of fiscal 2011 on April 28, 2011.
