Investor Presentation

Exhibit 99.1


Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other
than statements of historical facts, contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations,
future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking
statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,”
“potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should
not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans,
intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. The forward-looking statements contained in
this presentation reflect our current views with respect to future events, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-
looking statements.
Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of the preliminary
prospectus,
and
our
actual
future
results
may
be
materially
different
from
what
we
expect.
We
have
included
important
factors
in
the cautionary statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 and
other
documents
we
have
filed
with
the
SEC,
particularly
in
the
Risk
Factors
section,
that
we
believe
could
cause
actual
results
or
events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation
to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Non-GAAP
Financial
Measures
This presentation includes measures defined by the SEC as non-GAAP financial measures.  We believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures can provide useful supplemental information to investors when read in conjunction with our reported results.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their closest GAAP measures are available in the Appendix to this
presentation and descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures can be found in our earnings release with respect to our first
quarter 2017 results.

Continued Customer Diversification
Revenue From Existing and New Customers

New Customers defined as customers who first purchased products from Acacia after the initial 8 customers in 2011.
Ongoing diversification of
customer base continues
Revenue from new customers
increased from Q1 2016 to
Q1 2017
Primary drivers of growth are the
China, metro and DCI markets
In Q1 2017, we had 2 customers
that each represented more than
10% of revenue and 3 additional
customers represented over 5%
of revenue each

These long-term financial goals are forward-looking, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies and are based upon assumptions with respect to future circumstances, which are subject
to change. Actual results will vary and those variations may be material.  For discussion of some of the important factors that could cause these variations, please consult the “Risk Factors” section of
the Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, that we have filed with the SEC.  These long-term financial goals include “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and reconciliations of such historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided in the Appendix to this presentation.  Acacia Communications has not reconciled the forward-looking non-GAAP measures included in these long-term
financial goals because the expected tax benefits derived from any disqualifying dispositions of equity awards during the periods included in these long-range goals cannot be reasonably calculated or
predicted at this time and, accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.  Descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures included in these long-term financial goals can
be found in the company’s earnings release with respect to its first quarter 2017 results.
