PITTSBURGH, Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II-VI Incorporated (Nasdaq:IIVI) ("II-VI" or the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2018.
“We delivered a solid first quarter, and ended with a record order backlog. Compared to Q1FY18, the communications end market clearly remains strong for II-VI, growing 20% year over year, our military business grew 30%, our industrial end market revenue grew 10%, and demand for 3D sensing exceeded our expectations with shipments growing over 200%. Sales of SiC substrates grew more than 50%, and our increases in scale of SiC manufacturing positions us well to capture longer term opportunities as 5G and Electric Vehicles ramp,” said Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr. “We recently issued a press release announcing our strategic collaboration with the market leader in GaN RF devices, Sumitomo Electric Device Innovations, Inc. to manufacture state-of-the-art GaN on SiC devices to enable next generation wireless networks as part of our investment in an optoelectronic materials and device platform. We continue to deepen our engagements with large and strategic customers across all end markets. We expect to deliver continued strong operating performance in fiscal Q2 2019, even as we continue to make strategic investments and scale our operations to meet accelerating customers’ demands.”

Outlook
The outlook for the second fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018 is revenues of $333 million to $345 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.44 to $0.48 including $0.05 per share of one time costs and transaction costs for our transactions and collaborations recently announced. On an adjusted basis, earnings per diluted share is estimated at $0.65 to $0.69 which includes $0.10 for share based compensation, $0.06 for amortization expense, and $0.05 for one time and transaction costs, but excluding any refinements to the transition tax as the Company finalizes its implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This is all at prevailing exchange rates.
Comparable results for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 were revenues of $281.5 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.15. The $0.15 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 included $0.24 of expenses relating to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As discussed in more detail below, actual results may differ from these forecasts due to various factors including, but not limited to, changes in product demand, competition and general economic conditions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has disclosed financial measurements in this press release that present financial information considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although the Company's management uses these measurements as an aid in monitoring the Company's on-going financial performance. The adjusted non-GAAP net earnings and the adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share measure the earnings of the Company, excluding non-recurring or unusual items that are considered by the management to be outside the Company’s standard operation and excluding certain non-cash items. EBITDA is an adjusted non-GAAP financial measurement that is considered by management to be useful in measuring the profitability between companies within the industry by reflecting operating results of the Company excluding non-operating factors. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including that such measures may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, due to potential differences among calculation methodologies. Thus, there can be no assurance that items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will not occur in the future, or that there could be cash costs associated with items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
