Finisar Corp. Research Report  

On September 5, 2013, Finisar Corp. (Finisar) reported its Q1 FY 2014 financial results (period ended July 28, 2013). The Company reported total revenues of $266.1 million, up 9.3% QoQ. GAAP net income totaled $26.0 million or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $3.9 million or $0.04 per diluted share in Q4 FY 2013. "I am pleased to report first quarter revenues were $266.1 million, an all-time record for Finisar. This was an increase of $22.7 million, or 9.3%, over the prior quarter and an increase of $45.5 million, or 20.7% over the first quarter of the prior year. Revenues exceeded the guidance of $245 million to $260 million that we provided early in the first quarter and grew for the fourth consecutive quarter. The growth in revenues in the first quarter came primarily from increased sales of 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet transceivers for datacom applications. As a result of these higher than expected revenues, a favorable product mix and operating leverage, we also were able to achieve gross margin and earnings per diluted share that exceeded our original guidance range," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's Executive Chairman of the Board. The Company expects Q2 FY 2014 revenues to be between $277 million and $292 million.
