FREMONT, Calif., April 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oplink Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPLK), a leading provider of optical communication components, intelligent modules and subsystems, today reported its financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2014, ended March 30, 2014.
Revenue for the quarter was $48.1 million, down from $50.4 million in the prior quarter, and up from third quarter fiscal 2013 revenue of $44.1 million. GAAP net loss was $0.5 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, down from GAAP net income of $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the prior quarter and GAAP net income of $2.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, reported in the prior quarter, and $3.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their GAAP equivalents is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
"Although we are currently seeing a bit of softness in our optical business," said Joe Liu, Chairman and CEO of Oplink, "we continue to have a healthy level of design-in activities with key customers, and we believe we are well positioned for future growth. On the Oplink Connectedtm side of our business, we continue to make excellent progress. Our non-pairing, group parallel push platform-in-a-box will soon cover five domains: security, safety, care, video and home automation, and we expect these systems to be ready to ship in July. Our existing solutions are currently available through distributors like Ingram Micro and D&H, at retail stores like Fry's Electronics and ClickAway, and on-line at Amazon.com, Microsoft.com, Smarthome.com and other sites. We look forward to sharing more news on this business in the future."
Business Outlook for the Quarter Ending June 29, 2014
For the quarter ending June 29, 2014, the Company expects to report revenue of $48 to $52 million and GAAP net income of $0.00 to $0.06 per diluted share. 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 $0.05 to $0.11.

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."

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Oplink's results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including the following risks and uncertainties: (1) possible reductions in customer orders or delays in shipments of products to customers; (2) potential delays in introduction of new Oplink products; (3) Oplink's reliance on a small number of customers for a substantial portion of its revenues; (4) Oplink's reliance on third parties to supply critical components and materials for its products; (5) intense competition in Oplink's target markets and potential pricing pressure that may arise from changing supply or demand conditions in the industry; (6) risks relating to the new Oplink Connected business, including the risk that the products and services, being new and unproven, may not achieve market acceptance, the risk that Oplink may not be successful in developing adequate sales channels for these products and services, and the risk of write-downs for slow-moving or obsolete inventory; (7) increasing reliance on sales to datacom customers, which can fluctuate more than sales to our traditional telecom customers; (8) changes in our effective tax rate, which could reduce our net income; and (9) other risks detailed from time to time in Oplink's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
