FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oplink Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPLK), a leading provider of design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions (OMS) for optical networking components, modules and subsystems, today reported its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended July 1, 2012.
Revenues for the fourth quarter were $44.2 million and GAAP net loss was $5.2 million, or $(0.27) per share. This compares to revenues of $44.0 million and GAAP net income of $2.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, reported in the prior quarter, and $43.7 million and GAAP net income of $26.3 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, reported in the same period of the prior year. The GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was due to a one-time, non-cash charge of $8.1 million related to certain deferred tax assets which will not be realized in the future.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter was $3.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, as compared to $2.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, reported in the prior quarter, and $5.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, reported in the same period of the prior year.
For fiscal year 2012, revenues were $174.9 million. GAAP net loss for the fiscal year was $2.6 million, or $(0.13) per share. The GAAP net loss for fiscal 2012 was due to the $8.1 million charge in the fourth quarter referred to above. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal year was $11.4 million, or $0.57 per diluted share. Non-GAAP results exclude the $8.1 million charge and the other items described in the Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to non-GAAP Financial Measures attached to this press release.
Oplink generated $6.9 million in cash from operations, used $6.5 million for stock repurchases, and closed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $176.2 million.
"The fourth quarter closed a solid year of financial performance for Oplink, especially considering the market climate in telecommunications spending," commented Joe Liu, Chairman and CEO of Oplink. "As we enter fiscal 2013, we expect a relatively stable order environment although we are still limited in our visibility overall. We continue to work with customers to develop cost-effective, next generation optical solutions to meet the increasing demand for bandwidth across carrier networks. We are also investing in new, higher growth initiatives to drive future performance and greater shareholder returns over time."
Business Outlook for the Quarter Ending September 30, 2012
For the quarter ending September 30, 2012, the Company expects to report revenues between $43 million and $46 million and GAAP net income per diluted share of approximately $0.08 to $0.14. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets and any other non-cash or non-recurring charges, the Company expects earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.16 to $0.22. GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the quarter ending September 30, 2012 assume an effective tax rate of 25%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this earnings release and during the earnings conference call and webcast as described above, Oplink will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying tables.
Oplink believes that providing these non-GAAP measures to its investors provides investors the benefit of viewing Oplink's performance using the same financial metrics that the management team uses in making many key decisions and evaluating how Oplink's "core operating performance" and its results of operations may look in the future. Oplink defines "core operating performance" as its on-going performance in the ordinary course of its operations. Items that are non-recurring or do not involve cash expenditures, such as one-time tax benefits or charges, impairment charges, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash compensation related to stock and options, are not included in Oplink's view of "core operating performance."
