Coherent Corp. Reports Fiscal 2023 First Quarter Results

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coherent Corp. (Nasdaq:COHR) (“Coherent,” “We” or the “Company”) today reported results for its fiscal 2023 first quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“Our first quarter of FY23 was a great start to our new chapter as Coherent Corp. We achieved revenue of $1.34 billion with solid contributions from all three segments, growing 69% year-over-year, 20% organically and 13% year-over-year on a proforma basis. In the quarter, Electronics led the way with our sensing revenue in one of its two seasonally high quarters, and Communications contributed strong performance as well in both telecom and datacom, including record revenues from our datacom transceiver business as we continue to gain share in high-speed modules. Our non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.04 and was affected favorably by FX by about $0.07 in the quarter. The company delivered very good earnings due to continued focus on revenue strength, cost controls, operating efficiencies and timely launches of industry leading new products,” said Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr., Chair and CEO.

Dr. Mattera continued, “Our integration activities started strong and remain on track. The impact of current escalating trade tensions are not material to our business. We will continue to drive innovation, prudently directing our roughly $1 billion of investment again this year between R&D and cap ex to support our long-term growth.”

See Table 4 for the Reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures.(3)GAAP gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 has been updated to include amortization of developed technology intangible assets.

Outlook

The outlook for the second fiscal quarter ending December 31 2022 is revenue of $1,340 million to $1,400 million and earnings per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis of $0.88 to $1.00. This is at today’s exchange rate and today’s estimated tax impact of 23%. Both of these are subject to variability. For the non-GAAP earnings per share, we added back to the GAAP earnings pre-tax amounts of $83 million in amortization, $34 million in share-based compensation, $46 million related to the preliminary fair value adjustment on acquired inventory, and $20-30 million in transaction, integration and other related costs. 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 also expects full year revenue between $5,250 to $5,550 million, at today’s exchange rate.

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.Coherent Corp. and SubsidiariesCondensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) (Unaudited)($000 except per share data) Three Months Ended Sept 30, Jun 30, Sept 30, 2022 2022 2021 Revenues $1,344,570 $886,962 $795,111 Costs, Expenses & Other Expense Cost of goods sold 900,996 560,930 488,487 Internal research and development 121,084 95,917 88,966 Selling, general and administrative 280,014 115,862 122,608 Interest expense 61,889 48,502 12,191 Other expense (income), net 31,605 16,768 (7,582)Total Costs, Expenses, & Other Expense 1,395,588 837,979 704,670 Earnings (Loss) Before Income Taxes (51,018) 48,983 90,441 Income Taxes (12,320) 5,347 15,977 Net Earnings (Loss) $(38,698) $43,636 $74,464 Less: Dividends on Preferred Stock 35,577 17,291 17,082 Net Earnings (Loss) available to the Common Shareholders $(74,275) $26,345 $57,382 Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share $(0.56) $0.25 $0.54 Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share $(0.56) $0.23 $0.50 Average Shares Outstanding - Basic 133,280 106,520 105,761 Average Shares Outstanding - Diluted 133,280 116,821 115,849 Coherent Corp. and Subsidiaries Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) ($000) September 30, June 30, 2022 2022 Assets Current Assets Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $898,501 $2,582,371 Accounts receivable 975,437 700,331 Inventories 1,346,940 902,559 Prepaid and refundable income taxes 23,205 19,585 Prepaid and other current assets 150,547 100,346 Total Current Assets 3,394,630 4,305,192 Property, plant & equipment, net 1,803,646 1,363,195 Goodwill 5,284,591 1,285,759 Other intangible assets, net 2,984,979 635,404 Deferred income taxes 28,451 31,714 Other assets 334,262 223,582 Total Assets $13,830,559 $7,844,846 Liabilities, Mezzanine Equity and Shareholders’ Equity Current Liabilities Current portion of long-term debt $129,011 $403,212 Accounts payable 479,385 434,917 Operating lease current liabilities 38,855 27,574 Accruals and other current liabilities 535,833 401,256 Total Current Liabilities 1,183,084 1,266,959 Long-term debt 4,494,282 1,897,214 Deferred income taxes 618,565 77,259 Operating lease liabilities 141,542 110,214 Other liabilities 230,568 109,922 Total Liabilities 6,668,041 3,461,568 Total Mezzanine Equity 2,153,480 766,803 Total Shareholders' Equity 5,009,038 3,616,475 Total Liabilities, Mezzanine Equity and Shareholders’ Equity $13,830,559 $7,844,846 Coherent Corp. and Subsidiaries Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) ($000) Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities $79,577 $52,336 Cash Flows from Investing Activities Additions to property, plant & equipment (138,990) (47,565)Purchases of businesses, net of cash acquired (5,488,556) — Other investing activities (711) — Net cash used in investing activities (5,628,257) (47,565) Cash Flows from Financing Activities Proceeds from borrowings of Term A Facility 850,000 — Proceeds from borrowings of Term B Facility 2,800,000 — Proceeds from borrowings of Revolving Credit Facility 65,000 — Proceeds from issuance of Series B preferred shares 1,400,000 — Payments on existing debt (996,429) (15,513)Debt issuance costs (126,516) — Equity Issuance Costs (42,000) — Proceeds from exercises of stock options 7,425 7,481 Payment on convertible notes (3,561) — Payments in satisfaction of employees' minimum tax obligations (40,885) (13,017)Payment of dividends — (13,808)Other financing activities (292) (1,109)Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 3,912,742 (35,966) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (42,273) (522) Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (1,678,211) (31,717) Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash at Beginning of Period 2,582,371 1,591,892 Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash at End of Period(1) $904,160 $1,560,175
