NeoPhotonics Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Revenue of $102.4 million for the quarter, up 11% year-over-year
Three customers greater than 10% of revenue
Generated $15.0 million of cash from operations

SAN JOSE, California - November 2, 2020 - NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading developer of silicon photonics and advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit-based lasers, modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications networks, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
“We are pleased to report another strong, non-GAAP profitable quarter, driven by our highest speed products. We took decisive actions to better align our capacity and production infrastructure with expected demand levels without relying on future revenue contributions from Huawei, resulting in a restructuring charge of approximately $9.4 million in this quarter. Excluding Huawei, our products for 400G and above applications grew 91% year to date, and were 44% of Q3 revenue,” said Tim Jenks, NeoPhotonics CEO. “Going forward we believe we will rapidly grow the business excluding Huawei by supporting the highest speed over distance solutions at 400G and above for telecom equipment providers, and expand our business by ramping our 400ZR and 400ZR+ coherent modules to Cloud and hyper-scale customers starting in 2021,” concluded Mr. Jenks.
 
Third Quarter Summary
Revenue was $102.4 million, down 1% sequentially and up 11% year-over-year
Gross margin was 23.8%, down from 32.5% in the prior quarter and from 28.4% in the prior year, including actions to align the Company’s cost structure
Non-GAAP gross margin was 33.6%, up from 33.2% in the prior quarter and up from 29.0% in the prior year
Diluted net loss per share was $0.10, in comparison to net income per share of $0.11 in the prior quarter and to $0.05 in the same period last year
Non-GAAP diluted net income per share was $0.11, in comparison to $0.16 in the prior quarter and to $0.11 in the same period last year
Cash generated from operations was $15.0 million, up from $9.6 million in the prior quarter and up from $9.0 million in the same period last year
Adjusted EBITDA was $13.1 million, in comparison to $16.9 million in the prior quarter and to $14.2 million in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP results in the third quarter of 2020 exclude $2.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, $9.4 million of restructuring and other related charges and $0.3 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs. 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 September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash, together totaled $123 million, up $10 million compared to June 30, 2020.

Outlook for the Quarter Ending December 31, 2020
 
GAAP
Non-GAAP
Revenue
$64 to $70 million
Gross Margin
20% to 24%
22% to 26%
Operating Expenses
$24.5 to $25.5 million
$24 to $25 million
Earnings per share
$0.26 loss to $0.16 loss
$0.23 loss to $0.13 loss
The fourth quarter EPS outlook includes revenue without contribution from Huawei and therefore expectation of higher underutilization charges and lower gross margin. Operating expenses increase on investment in 400ZR development to drive business growth.
The non-GAAP outlook for the fourth quarter of 2020 excludes the expected impact of stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.4 million, of which $0.7 million is estimated for cost of goods sold, $2.9 million of gain on legal settlement, $0.7 million of restructuring and other related charges and the impact of expected amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs of approximately $0.3 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.
