“On September 24th, we closed the Finisar transaction, the largest acquisition in our history. Our excitement continues to build as we validate the depth and breadth of the technologies and manufacturing scale that we expect will enable our growth by addressing the long-term mega trends in our markets such as cloud computing and 5G wireless. As a result of the acquisition, we have become the largest component and subsystem supplier in the global optical communications market as well as a leader in photonic solutions and compound semiconductors. We ended the quarter with a $721 million Backlog and experienced a Book/Bill ratio of 1.10. On the first day of our combined Company, we immediately got to work on delivering the cost synergies we identified. We are focused on achieving our long-range model, executing our strategy, leveraging our technology, identifying and closing gaps, and improving our operating leverage. Our global sales team is already experiencing higher levels of engagement with our key customers that we believe will soon lead to meaningful revenue synergies.Growth in our commercial markets was mixed during the first quarter as it was affected by well-known macro factors, including the recent overall slowing in industrial demand. However, we remain optimistic about the long-term growth prospects for all of our commercial end markets.  Our Aerospace and Defense business delivered a very strong quarter, in part due to the successful integration of recent acquisitions.  We have also put in place the measures to operate the Finisar WSS business separately as required by regulators due to the strong market position of both companies. We are ready to capitalize on new opportunities from the expected rapid growth in our key end markets.”Operating income is defined as earnings before income taxes, interest expense and other expense or income, net.All adjusted amounts exclude certain non-GAAP adjustments for share-based compensation, acquired amortization expense, certain one-time transaction expenses, restructuring and related items, and the impact of special items.

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 adjusted non-GAAP net earnings, the adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share and the adjusted operating income measure earnings and operating income, respectively, excluding non-recurring or unusual items that are considered by the 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 that items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will not occur in the future, or that there could 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.
