San Jose, California, January 26, 2005 – JDS Uniphase Corporation (NASDAQ: JDSU and TSX: JDU) today reported results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2004.
Net revenue for the second quarter was $180.5 million, and net loss was $43.5 million, or $0.03 per share. This compares to net revenue of $194.5 million and a net loss of $36.0 million, or $0.02 per share, reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and to net revenue of $152.6 million, and a net loss of $58.5 million, or $0.04 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
On a non-GAAP basis, net loss in the second quarter was $31.1 million, or $0.02 per share, as compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $14.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and to a non-GAAP net loss of $19.3 million, or $0.01 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
On a non-GAAP EBITDA basis (non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), net loss was $25.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, as compared to a net loss of $5.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and to a net loss of $14.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company provides non-GAAP financial information in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its operational performance and to enhance its investors’ overall understanding of its core current financial performance and its prospects for the future. The Company believes that its investors benefit from seeing its results “through the eyes” of management in addition to the GAAP presentation. Management measures segment and enterprise performance using measures such as are disclosed in this release. This information facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.
We believe non-GAAP information provides greater transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Historically, the Company has reported similar non-GAAP information to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting.
This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It excludes items, such as restructuring and realignment charges, reductions in long-lived assets, reductions in the fair value of investments, gains on sales of investments, losses on equity method investments and amortization, that may have a material effect on the Company’s earnings and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management monitors these excluded items to ensure that expenses are in line with management’s expectations and that the Company’s GAAP results are correctly stated, but does not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the Company. A detailed reconciliation is at the end of this press release.
Financial Overview – Second Quarter Ended December 31, 2004
- Communications Products Group net revenue of $106.7 million was up slightly from last quarter, and represented 59% of net revenue. Commercial and Consumer Products Group net revenue declined 17% sequentially, and represented $73.8 million, or 41% of net revenue.
- On a geographic basis, net revenue from North American customers represented 68% of net revenue. European and Asia-Pacific customers represented 18% and 14% of net revenue, respectively.
- GAAP gross margin was 16.5% of net revenue, and non-GAAP gross margin was 16.8% of net revenue.
- GAAP operating expenses were $76.5 million, representing 42.4% of net revenue. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $66.1 million, or 36.6% of net revenue.
- The Company held $1,416.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of the second quarter, of which approximately $1,362.4 million was cash, money market and other highly liquid fixed income securities. The Company used approximately $33.4 million in cash from operations, including $25.6 million used for restructuring and realignment payments. Investment related activity consumed approximately $7.7 million in net cash.
Business Outlook
Management provided the following financial guidance. For the third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2005, the company expects:
- Net revenue in the range of $155 to $165 million; and
- Non-GAAP loss per share of approximately two cents.
This outlook excludes items which, depending upon actual results, may be required by GAAP, such as restructuring and related costs, acquisition related costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, reductions of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and gains and losses on investments, the likelihood and amount of which are uncertain at this time.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include: (i) any anticipation or guidance as to future financial performance, including expected revenue levels and non-GAAP earnings per share projections; and (ii) the Company's beliefs regarding the purpose, usefulness and efficacy of non-GAAP results and the measures and items the Company includes in the same, as well as any benefits to investors the Company believes its non-GAAP measures provide. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, without limitation, the following: (i) the Company's ability to predict future financial performance continues to be difficult, as among other things, visibility remains limited, we are experiencing significant quarter over quarter fluctuations in product mix, average selling prices continue to decline across our product portfolio, we continue to experience execution challenges which limit our revenue and impair our profitability, and we are experiencing declining, but variable, benefits from certain transient items, such as the release of previously accrued warranty reserves and the use of previously written-off inventory; (ii) ongoing cost improvement efforts may not be successful in achieving their expected benefits (including, among other things, market uncertainty, gross margin and other profitability improvements), due to, among other things, shifts in product mix, selling price pressures, costs related to product transfers to lower cost manufacturing locations, and execution concerns; and (iii) ongoing efforts to design and introduce products that meet customers' future needs and to manufacture such products at competitive costs, and with acceptable quality and profitability, may not be successful.
For more information on these and other risks affecting the Company's business, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as in subsequent filings on Forms 10-Q and 10-K. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not assume any obligation to update the reasons why actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
