EMCORE Reports Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Results

ALHAMBRA, CA, May 6, 2020 – EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR), a leading provider of advanced mixed-signal products that serve the aerospace & defense and broadband communications markets, today announced results for its fiscal 2020 second quarter ended March  31, 2020  (2Q20). Management will host a conference call to discuss financial and business results tomorrow, Thursday, May  7, 2020, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time.

Consolidated revenue was $23.8 million, a  6%  sequential-quarter decrease, and comprised $13.0 million from the Aerospace and Defense segment and $10.8 million from the Broadband segment.  Net loss on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis was $5.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in the second quarter compared with a net loss on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis of  $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in the prior quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.5 million in the second quarter.

“Despite the global impact of COVID-19, the EMCORE team came together to deliver quarterly revenue that was in-line with our guidance”, said Jeff Rittichier, Chief Executive Officer of EMCORE. “As the pandemic spread throughout the globe in our second fiscal quarter, we encountered disruptions to our manufacturing operations in Beijing and California, as well as shortages in supply chain and air freight capacity, affecting revenue and costs,” continued Rittichier.

“Looking forward, we’re seeing an increase in customer demand for the third fiscal quarter as the MSOs work to break network bottlenecks. Additionally, we see no reductions in defense programs currently in production but have seen delays in qualification testing for new programs. We continue to meet important milestones for our manufacturing transition and completed the ERP project in Concord on schedule, enabling us to reduce our operating expenses. We believe that these actions, when taken together with our improved cash position following the Concord facility sale and PPP loan funding, give us the necessary resources to navigate through these unprecedented times,” concluded Rittichier.

Aerospace and Defense (A&D) Segment

A&D’s sequential-quarter revenue slightly decreased due to lower sales of Quartz MEMS partially offset by increased Defense Optoelectronics and Fiber Optic Gyroscopes revenue.  A&D’s gross margin decrease was driven by lower Quartz MEMS and Fiber Optic Gyroscopes margins partially offset by an increase in Defense Optoelectronic margins.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company conforms to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the preparation of its financial statements.  We disclose supplemental non-GAAP earnings measures for gross profit margin, operating expenses, operating profit margin, net income, and earnings per share, as well as adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes these supplemental non-GAAP measures reflect the Company’s core ongoing operating performance and facilitates comparisons across reporting periods.  The Company uses these measures when evaluating its financial results and for planning and forecasting of future periods.  We believe that these supplemental non-GAAP measures are also useful to investors in assessing our operating performance.  While we believe in the usefulness of these supplemental non-GAAP measures,  there are limitations.  Our non-GAAP measures may not be reported by other companies in our industry and/or may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in calculation.  We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP measures as a supplement to GAAP and by providing the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure.

The schedules at the end of this press release reconcile the Company’s non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.  The adjustments share one or more of the following characteristics:  they are unusual and the Company does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business, they do not involve the expenditure of cash,  they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course,  or their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the Company’s control.  For all reporting periods disclosed, the Company has applied consistent rationale, method,  and adjustments in reconciling non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP, nor are they meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures.  Our disclosures of these measures should be read only in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP results.
