PITTSBURGH, May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) (“Coherent,” “We” or the “Company”) today reported results for its fiscal 2023 third quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“We posted third quarter revenues of $1.24 billion up 4% year over year on a pro forma basis. Revenue grew 50% on a reported basis compared to Q3 of FY22 and declined 9% sequentially. We were intensely focused on controlling costs, managing cash and continuing our disciplined approach to capital allocation and design wins,” said Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr., Chair and CEO.

“We started the third quarter with optimism based on a strong backlog, but we experienced a sudden and unexpected deceleration in revenues in the second half of the quarter when some of our larger customers requested us to delay scheduled shipments which primarily affected our revenue in the Networking Segment as those customers began adjusting their inventory levels. The solid performance of the Materials Segment, coupled with solid performance of the legacy Coherent business, now our Lasers Segment, provided diversification and stability by exposing us to multiple and different growth markets.”

Dr. Mattera continued, “Our non GAAP EPS was $0.58, our operating cash flow was $152 million, and we invested half of our $97 million of capital expenditures into our silicon carbide business. We generated $55 million of free cash flow and retired $78 million of debt, consistent with our plans for deleveraging.

We have commenced certain restructuring actions and are planning to take additional actions that will run through the end of FY25, as we work to transform the Company. We expect these actions will drive greater scale and focus, resiliency, and lower operating costs. We have completed a rigorous analysis into this plan, a careful consideration of the effects on our people, and we believe that this plan will better position Coherent to achieve both short and long-term commitments.”

Outlook

The outlook for the fourth fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023 is revenue of $1,125 million to $1,175 million and earnings per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis of $0.33 to $0.43. This is at today’s exchange rates, which are subject to variability. For the non-GAAP earnings per share, we added back to the GAAP earnings pre-tax amounts of $190-$210 million, consisting of $95 million in amortization, $27 million in share-based compensation, and $70-$85 million in transaction, integration and restructuring. Refer to Table 8 for the share count range for the aforementioned outlook. Non-GAAP adjustments are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future.

The Company expects full year revenue between $5,080 to $5,150 million, at today’s exchange rates.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has disclosed financial measurements in this press release that present financial information considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although the Company’s management uses these measurements as an aid in monitoring the Company’s on-going financial performance. The non-GAAP net earnings, the non-GAAP earnings per share, the non-GAAP operating income, the non-GAAP gross profit, the non-GAAP internal research and development, the non-GAAP selling, general and administration, the non-GAAP interest and other (income) expense, and the non-GAAP income tax

(benefit), measure earnings and operating income (loss), respectively, excluding non-recurring or unusual items that are considered by management to be outside the Company’s standard operation and excluding certain non-cash items. EBITDA is an adjusted non-GAAP financial measurement that is considered by management to be useful in measuring the profitability between companies within the industry by reflecting operating results of the Company excluding non-operating factors. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including that such measures may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, due to potential differences among calculation methodologies. Thus, there can be no assurance whether (i) items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will occur in the future or (ii) there will be cash costs associated with items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
