FIRST FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS

For the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016, Coherent announced net sales of $346.1 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $30.4 million, or $1.23 per diluted share.  These results compare to net sales of $190.3 million and net income of $20.3 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $63.4 million, or $2.57 per diluted share.  Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $23.9 million, or $0.99 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended December 31, 2016, October 1, 2016 and January 2, 2016 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net income."

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 were $248.5 million and net income, on a GAAP basis, was $30.8 million, or $1.25 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 was $40.5 million, or $1.65 per diluted share.

Ending backlog expected to ship in the next 12 months was $823.5 million at December 31, 2016, compared to a backlog of $605.3 million at October 1, 2016 and a backlog of $370.0 million at January 2, 2016.

As previously announced, on November 7, 2016, Coherent completed its acquisition of Rofin-Sinar Technologies, Inc. ("Rofin"), one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of high-performance industrial laser sources and laser-based solutions and components, for $32.50 per share in cash, in a transaction valued at approximately $940 million. Coherent funded the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from a 670 million Euro secured term facility.

Coherent ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $360.3 million, a decrease of $39.7 million from cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $400.0 million at October 1, 2016.

"Coherent delivered record-setting performance and continues to enjoy a very strong demand environment across its end markets.  The FPD business remains robust with an increasing number of opportunities in device packaging that complement our leadership position in ELA.  Materials processing also performed well for components, lasers and tools including record orders in medical device manufacturing workstations.  All other end markets met or exceeded our expectations and customer engagement is at record levels," said John Ambroseo, Coherent's President and Chief Executive Officer.  "The integration of Coherent and Rofin is well underway and there have been few surprises.  The project teams are making steady progress and we are on track to meet our synergy targets," he added.
