ALBUQUERQUE,
New Mexico, October 10, 2007 -- EMCORE Corporation (NASDAQ: EMKR), a leading
provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the
broadband, fiber optic, satellite, and terrestrial solar power markets, today
announced unaudited financial results for its fiscal 2007 third quarter ended
June 30, 2007. The fiscal 2006 results in this announcement include
non-cash stock-based compensation charges and expenses related to the
restatement of prior period financials.
Consolidated
revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 totaled $44.5
million. This represents a revenue increase of approximately 23% from
$36.3 million reported last year from continuing operations and an increase
of
approximately 12% from $39.8 million from the prior
quarter. Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2007
totaled $123.1 million. This represents a revenue increase of
approximately 14% from $108.2 million reported last year from continuing
operations. Both of the Company’s operating segments posted revenue
increases when compared quarter-over-quarter and
year-over-year. Fiber Optics revenue for the third quarter of fiscal
2007 totaled $27.6 million, which represents an increase of 6% from $26.0
million reported last year and an increase of 5% from $26.2 million reported
from the prior quarter. For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, Fiber Optics
revenue increased 3% to $79.2 million from $76.8 million, as reported in the
prior year. Despite reduced revenue associated within our digital fiber optics
sector in the first nine months, EMCORE continues to experience a significant
increase in customer demand for its CATV products, a trend that is expected
to
continue in fiscal 2008. Photovoltaics revenue increased 63% for the
third quarter of fiscal 2007 to $16.9 million when compared to $10.4 million
reported last year, and it increased 24% from $13.6 million from the prior
quarter. For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, Photovoltaics
revenue increased 40% to $43.9 million from $31.3 million, as reported in the
prior year. In September 2007, our Photovoltaics division received
notice that its fiscal 2007 interim U.S. Government billing rates were approved
which resulted in additional revenues of approximately $0.4 million for the
first half of fiscal 2007. This additional billing was invoiced in
the September quarter.
Consolidated
gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 totaled approximately $9.8
million. Gross profit increased from $7.5 million reported last year
from continuing operations and increased from $7.1 million from the prior
quarter, which included a one-time inventory charge of $1.2
million.
Consolidated
gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was approximately
22%. This represents an increase from both the 21% reported in the
prior year and the 18% reported in the prior quarter. On a segment
basis, Fiber Optics gross margins were 22% and 19% for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2007, respectively. For the quarterly period, Fiber
Optics gross margin remained unchanged when compared to the prior year and
increased from 16% gross margin as reported in the prior
quarter. Photovoltaics gross margins were 22% and 17% for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. For the quarterly
period, Photovoltaics gross margin increased from 19% gross margin as reported
in the prior year and 21% gross margin from the prior quarter.
Operating
expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $23.2 million
and $63.4 million, respectively. Excluding the expenses associated
with our new Solar Power division, our review of historical stock option grants,
severance- and litigation-related expenses, and stock-based compensation expense
(later referred to as “Adjusted Expenses”), operating expenses for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $13.3 million and $38.5 million,
respectively. A significant portion of the quarter-over-quarter and
year-over-year increase of approximately $10.3 million and $23.8 million,
respectively, in operating expenses was due to development costs incurred in
our
new terrestrial Solar Power division, professional fees associated with our
review of historical stock option grants, and severance and patent
litigation-related expenses. Stock-based compensation expense during
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 totaled approximately $0.8 million
and $3.8 million, respectively. For the quarterly period, this
represents an increase of $1.4 million in adjusted operating expenses from
$11.9
million reported in the prior year. For the nine-month period, this
represents an increase of $1.9 million in adjusted operating expenses from
$36.6
million reported in the prior year. Fiscal 2007 third quarter results
included approximately $0.2 million associated with our new manufacturing
facility in Langfang, China and approximately $0.4 million of operating expense
associated with our April 2007 acquisition of Opticomm Corporation.
During
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007, operating expenses included
approximately $2.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively related to our new
Solar Power division. As previously announced, EMCORE’s
second-generation Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) system is expected to move
from the development stage to production in the December
quarter. Operating expenses during the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2007 also included approximately $3.9 million and $8.2 million,
respectively, of professional fees incurred from our review of historical stock
option grants. This includes incurred costs associated with our
derivative class actions suits and our convertible debt consent to amend and
waiver agreement with our bondholders that was completed in April
2007. Severance and litigation-related expenses during the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2007 were approximately $2.9 million and $6.3
million, respectively. A majority of the severance expense is related
to our decision to close our New Jersey facility and relocate the Company’s
Headquarters to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Company has also
incurred significant legal expense associated with our litigation against Optium
Corporation for patent infringement.
Operating
loss for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $13.4 million
and
$41.0 million, respectively. Excluding Adjusted Expenses, our
operating loss for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $3.2
million and $15.1 million, respectively. For the quarterly period,
this represents a decrease in operating loss of $0.7 million from $4.0 million
reported in the prior year. For the nine-month period, this
represents an increase of $1.1 million in operating loss from $14.0 million
reported in the prior year.
Our
net
loss for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $14.5 million,
or
$0.28 loss per share and $41.4 million or $0.81 loss per share,
respectively. Excluding Adjusted Expenses and discontinued
operations, our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $4.3
million or $0.08 loss per share, an improvement of $0.02 per share from the
prior year. Excluding Adjusted Expenses and discontinued operations,
our net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $15.5 million
or
$0.30 loss per share, an improvement of $0.08 per share from the prior
year.
Cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2007 totaled $48.3
million, a decrease of $28.9 million from the prior quarter. The decrease was
primarily due to the partial redemption and semi-annual interest payment on
our
convertible notes that totaled $13.8 million, the purchase of Opticomm
Corporation that totaled $4.0 million, payment of professional fees incurred
associated with our review of historical stock option grants, legal costs
associated with our patent infringement lawsuits against Optium Corporation
and
various increases in net working capital requirements.
Management
Discussion and Outlook:
“As
expected, we experienced a much stronger second half for the Company, based
on
increased strength in our CATV and photovoltaics product lines. In
our fourth quarter, revenues from our datacom and telecom sectors started to
recover and we continue to see sustained growth in our photovoltaics business
in
both the satellite and terrestrial solar power markets. With this
increase in revenue levels, we expect corresponding improvement in profitability
to reach positive EPS in mid-2008.” stated Reuben F. Richards, Jr., Chief
Executive Officer.
Company
& Quarterly Highlights:
April
13,
2007 — Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, EMCORE acquired privately-held
Opticomm Corporation of San Diego, California, including its fiber optic video,
audio and data networking business, technologies, and intellectual
property. EMCORE paid $4.0 million in cash as initial consideration
for all of the shares of Opticomm. EMCORE also agreed to an additional earn-out
payment based on Opticomm’s 2007 revenue. Management anticipates that
this transaction will provide approximately $7.0 million of revenue for calendar
year 2007, and upon integration it is expected to be operationally
profitable. In 2006, Opticomm generated revenue of $6.3 million and
had positive net income.
April
27,
2007 — EMCORE announced that its Photovoltaics division was awarded a $2.0
million contract by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Center for the
design, manufacturing, testing and delivery of fully integrated solar panels
for
the Mars Cruise Stage spacecraft. This spacecraft is designed to carry the
Mars
Science Laboratory (MSL) rover and communicate with the entry vehicle that
will
carry the rover to the surface of the planet. The launch of the spacecraft
is
planned for fall of 2009. Scheduled for delivery in mid-2008, the
Mars Cruise Stage solar panels will provide more than 1 kW end-of-life (EOL)
power to the spacecraft while operating at a distance of 1.6 Astronomical Units
(AU) from the sun. These panels will be powered by EMCORE's latest generation
28.5% efficiency multi-junction solar cells. Production of the solar cells
and
panels will take place at EMCORE's manufacturing facilities located in
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
May
16,
2007 — EMCORE announced that its Photovoltaics division attained a record solar
conversion efficiency of 31% for an entirely new class of advanced
multi-junction solar cells optimized for space applications. This new
solar cell, referred as the Inverted Metamorphic (IMM) design is approximately
one fifteenth the thickness of the conventional multi-junction solar cell,
and
will enable a new class of extremely lightweight, high-efficiency, and flexible
solar arrays that power the next generation of spacecraft and satellites and
will also form a platform of future generations of terrestrial concentrator
products.
May
22,
2007 — EMCORE announced the commencement of product shipments from its recently
opened low-cost manufacturing facility in China. EMCORE’s China
facility is located in an export-processing zone in Langfang City, approximately
20 miles southeast of Beijing. EMCORE China currently occupies a space of 22,000
square feet with a Class-10,000 clean room for optoelectronic device packaging.
Another 60,000 square feet is available for future expansion. EMCORE will
consolidate and move the manufacturing of certain cost sensitive optoelectronic
device products to this facility.
August
6,
2007 — EMCORE announced that it has attained a record 39% conversion efficiency
under 1000x concentrated illumination on its multi-junction solar cell products
currently in high volume production. These solar cells are for terrestrial
Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) applications. EMCORE’s Concentrator
Triple-Junction (CTJ) solar cells were designed and optimized for the most
desirable system operating conditions, i.e. 500-1000x concentration, for cost
effective commercial CPV systems. The record conversion efficiency of 39% was
measured on 1-cm2 production concentrator solar cells and at 1000x illumination.
EMCORE is currently manufacturing ultra-high efficiency CTJ cells with a variety
of form factors for multiple customers and has shipped several million
concentrator solar cells to CPV system manufacturers worldwide. As a part of
the
planned high-volume product roadmap, EMCORE’s continuing investment in
technological innovation will enable the introduction of concentrator solar
cell
products with conversion efficiencies of greater than 40% under the high
illumination operating conditions required for next generation, cost competitive
CPV systems.
August
29, 2007 — EMCORE announced that it has been awarded a follow-on production
order from Green and Gold Energy (GGE), Adelaide, South Australia, for 3 million
solar cells for use in GGE's SunCubeTM terrestrial concentrator system. This
105
MW purchase order represents the largest procurement of concentrator solar
cells
in the industry to date and is a follow-on order to an initial 5 MW order placed
earlier this year. All hardware ordered under this contract is to be shipped
by
December 2008.
August
31, 2007 — EMCORE announced the consolidation of its North American fiber optics
engineering and design centers into its three main operating
sites. EMCORE's engineering facilities in Virginia, Illinois, and
Northern California will be consolidated into three larger primary sites in
Albuquerque, New Mexico; Alhambra, California and Warminster, Pennsylvania.
The
consolidation of these engineering sites will allow EMCORE to leverage resources
within engineering, new product introduction, and customer
service. By consolidating facilities, EMCORE expects to realize
annual cost savings of approximately $7.0 million. Production, product support,
and key design personnel will be relocating to the main operating sites.
Restructuring charges associated with the closure of facilities, relocation,
and
other costs are expected to total approximately $2.0 million.
September
28, 2007 — EMCORE announced that it expects to be compliant with the SEC and the
NASDAQ in October 2007.

Forward-looking
statements
The
information provided herein may include 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. Such forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to, (a) the Company’s unaudited results for the fourth quarter
and fiscal year 2006 and our first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2007,
(b) statements related to the Company’s review of its historic stock option
granting practices, including statements concerning the determination of
accounting adjustments and related tax and financial consequences in connection
with the Special Committee’s recommendations, and (c) the timing of filing of
reports with the SEC. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, (a) the difficulty of predicting quarterly and year-end financial results,
(b) the finalization and audit of the Company’s fiscal year 2006 results, (c)
the effects of the Company’s review of its historic stock option granting
practices, including (i) risks and uncertainties relating to developments in
regulatory and legal guidance regarding stock option grants and accounting
for
such grants, (ii) the possibility that the Company will not be able to file
additional reports with the SEC in a timely manner, (iii) the possibility that
the Company may determine that additional stock-based compensation expenses
and
other additional expenses be recorded in connection with affected option grants
(iv) negative tax consequences arising out of the stock option review, (v)
the
possible delisting of the Company’s stock from the NASDAQ National Market
pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), (vi) the impact of any actions
that may be required or taken as a result of such review or the NASDAQ hearing
and review process, and (vii) risk of litigation arising out of or related
to
the Company’s stock option grants or a restatement of the Company’s financial
statements, and (d) factors discussed from time to time in reports filed by
the
Company with the SEC. The forward-looking statements contained in this news
release are made as of the date hereof and EMCORE does not assume any obligation
to update the reasons why actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements.
As
previously disclosed, EMCORE engaged in a voluntary review of our
historical stock option grant procedures, which was conducted by
a Special
Committee comprised of independent members of our Board of Directors,
with
the assistance of independent outside counsel and accounting
experts. Based on the Special Committee’s review, we determined
that our previously filed financial statements would need to be restated
to reflect additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense and
related tax expense. The key findings and conclusions of the
Special Committee are described in a Current Report on Form 8-K that
was
filed with the SEC on November 15, 2006.
The
Special Committee’s conclusion that EMCORE should recognize additional
compensation expense for certain stock option grants requires substantial
work. This work involves not just restatements of prior year
audited financial statements, but it also impacts the preparation
of our
audited financial statements for our fiscal year ended September
30,
2006. For this reason we were unable to file our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 and our
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for our quarters ended December 31,
2006,
March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 with the SEC within regulatory filing
deadlines. We have been working diligently to prepare the
restated financial statements, and as we have publicly reported,
we expect
to be compliant with the SEC and the NASDAQ in October 2007.

Use
of Non-GAAP Measures
EMCORE
provides non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, and non-GAAP
net
loss as supplemental measures to GAAP regarding our operational performance.
These financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore,
have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A detailed explanation of
each
of the adjustments to such financial measures is described below. This press
release also contains a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial
measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
EMCORE
believes that the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to investors for
financial analysis. In particular, management believes it is
appropriate in evaluating EMCORE's operations to exclude gains or losses from
one-time items such as severance and patent litigation-related charges, charges
associated with our review of historical stock option grants and expenses
incurred at our new Solar Power division because these items would make results
less comparable between periods. Management believes adjusting for
stock-based compensation expense is appropriate, as it is a non-cash expense,
and adjusting is consistent with the practice of most of our competitors.
Management also uses these measures internally to evaluate the company's
operating performance, and the measures are used for planning and forecasting
of
future periods. In addition, many financial analysts that follow our
Company focus on and publish both historical results and future projections
based on non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that it is in the best interest
of our investors to provide this information to analysts so that they accurately
report the non-GAAP financial information. However, non-GAAP measures
are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP
measures.
While
management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with
the
use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures
are
not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the
Company's competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled
measures of the Company's competitors due to potential differences in the exact
method of calculation. The Company compensates for these limitations by using
these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures
and
by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their
most comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP
financial measures are not in accordance with, or alternative for, generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Company's non-GAAP
financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only
in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
Pursuant
to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation
of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures as indicated in the tables listed below:
