FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 27, 2011 (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 first quarter of fiscal 2012, ended September 30, 2011.
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $43.4 million and GAAP net income was $1.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. This compares to revenues of $49.6 million and GAAP net income of $5.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, reported in the same period of the prior year.
Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $3.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, as compared to $8.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, reported in the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP results exclude the items described in the Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to non-GAAP Financial Measures attached to this press release.
Oplink generated $8.0 million in cash from operations and used $19.8 million for stock repurchases. The Company closed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $173.3 million. The Company also announced the authorization of an additional $40 million for future stock repurchases. Such purchases may be made in the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
"Our financial results in the first quarter were in line with the outlook we provided last quarter," commented Joe Liu, Chairman and CEO of Oplink. "We believe that the trends toward demand for flexible networks will drive our business for the long-term and are optimistic about our ability to gain market share over time."
Business Outlook for the Quarter Ending December 31, 2011
For the quarter ending December 31, 2011, the Company expects to report revenues between $40 million and $43 million and GAAP net income per diluted share of approximately $0.02 to $0.08. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock compensation, amortization of intangible assets and other non-cash or non-recurring charges, if any, the Company expects earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.07 to $0.13. GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the quarter ending December 31, 2011 assume an effective tax rate of 41% and 36%, respectively.

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, 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."
