A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is contained in this release under the section titled 'Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.'

A large portion of non-GAAP adjustments, such as restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments, acquisition related costs, and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future.

Lumentum believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going business operations and results, as well as cash generation, and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. In addition, the Company believes that providing certain of these measures allows investors to better understand the Company's operating performance and cash flows and, importantly, to evaluate the methodology and information used by management to monitor, manage, evaluate and measure the Company's business, results of operations, and cash flows. However, investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. Moreover, the non-GAAP financial measures we present may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies or may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We do not consider non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial measures, and the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release exclude (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) acquisition related costs, (iii) integration related costs, (iv) amortization of acquired intangibles, (v) amortization of acquired inventory fair value adjustments, (vi) restructuring and related charges, (vii) intangible assets write-off, (viii) gain on sale of facility, (ix) foreign exchange losses (gains), net, (x) non-cash interest expense on convertible notes, (xi) non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments, and (xii) other (gains) charges related to non-recurring activities. We utilize a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate to compute our non-GAAP income tax provision. The long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate is based on a multi-year projection of our estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for the tax effect of non-GAAP pretax adjustments as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items. Our non-GAAP tax provision for fiscal year 2025 is 16.5%. The difference between our GAAP income tax provision and our non-GAAP income tax provision is presented as non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments. A quantitative reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data with respect to historical periods is included in the supplemental financial table attached to this press release.

This Underrated Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Is Crushing the Market, and It Could Skyrocket Higher
Surging demand for optical components in AI data centers has helped Lumentum record solid growth. Analysts expect Lumentum to maintain healthy growth levels over the next couple of years. Despite the stock's strong recent gains, it continues to trade at an attractive valuation. 10 stocks we like better than Lumentum › The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index has been in turnaround mode for the past three months -- up an impressive 31% over that span after a rocky start to the year. That's not surprising, as strong quarterly results from major technology companies seem to have boosted investor confidence in the sector. Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ: LITE) has been one of the beneficiaries of the tech stock rally. Shares of the company, which sells optical and photonic products that go into data centers and telecom networks to enable fast data transmission, have shot up by an impressive 75% in the past three months, putting them back within 10% of the peak they reached in January. The good part is that Lumentum's rebound wasn't just a function of the broader market's rally, but also because of the company's healthy growth, which is being powered by its customers' increasing investments in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. Better still, this stock is likely to deliver more upside to investors. Lumentum is witnessing terrific demand for its externally modulated lasers (EMLs), which are widely deployed in high-speed optical communications applications such as data centers and telecom networks. Their ability to transmit data over long distances at high speeds makes them ideal for deployment in AI data centers. On Lumentum's May earnings call, CEO Michael Hurlston noted: "We set another record for EML chip set shipments this quarter and remain on track to more than double this business by the end of calendar 2025." At the same time, the company is going to further expand its production capacity of EMLs in an effort to meet the end-market demand. That's the smart thing to do, considering that according to market research firm LightCounting, the optical transceiver market is expected to generate $10 billion in revenue in 2026 -- as compared to $5 billion in 2024 -- before rising to $20 billion in 2030. The company's revenue in its fiscal 2025 third quarter increased by 16% year over year to $425.2 million. Its adjusted earnings per share jumped by more than 500% -- from $0.09 to $0.57 -- on the back of an improvement in manufacturing utilization rates as well as the higher margins of its laser components deployed in AI servers. Analysts' consensus estimates are for a 20% increase in Lumentum's revenue this year to $1.6 billion. Importantly, its top-line growth is expected to remain solid next year as well, thanks to the improving demand for AI-focused optical components. Even better, that top-line growth is expected to filter down to the bottom line as well. The analysts are forecasting a 94% increase in earnings in the current fiscal year to $1.96 per share. That won't be surprising when we take into account the margin gains that its laser components deployed in AI data centers are delivering. What's worth noting is that Lumentum is trading at an incredibly attractive valuation despite the impressive growth that it has been clocking. It has a forward earnings multiple of 24, which is lower than the tech-laden Nasdaq-100 index's average forward price-to-earnings ratio of 29. Even assuming Lumentum continues to trade at a discount to the broader index after a couple of years, if it delivers the healthy earnings growth that analysts are anticipating, its stock could fly higher. Based on a P/E ratio of 24, its projected earnings of $5.21 per share in its fiscal 2027 point toward a stock price of $125. That would be 37% above the current level. However, don't be surprised to see this AI stock jumping higher than that, as the market could reward it with a premium multiple thanks to its strong earnings growth. That's why even after its impressive rebound over the past three months, investors should consider buying Lumentum before it possibly flies even higher.

Synaptics Inc (NASDAQ:SYNA) reported a 13% year-over-year revenue increase to $267 million, slightly above the midpoint of their guidance. The company announced a strategic agreement with Broadcom, expected to generate over $40 million in annualized sales and slightly accretive to non-GAAP EPS. Core IoT product sales increased by 63% year-over-year, driven by growth in both processor and wireless products. Synaptics Inc (NASDAQ:SYNA) has a strong leadership position in several markets, being either the number one or number two player in enterprise, automotive, and mobile touch markets. The company successfully retired its term loan B, reducing total debt and cash interest expense, while returning approximately $75 million to shareholders through share repurchases. The departure of CEO Michael Hurlston introduces uncertainty, as the company is in the process of searching for a new CEO. Mobile touch product revenue decreased by 25% year-over-year due to the end of life of product shipments to a large US customer. The automotive segment is experiencing sluggishness, with most exposure to US and European customers, potentially impacting future growth. Non-GAAP operating expenses increased due to the inclusion of the Packet Craft acquisition and incremental variable expenses. The company has not yet seen a significant refresh cycle in the enterprise space, which could impact future revenue growth. Q: Can you provide more details on the $40 million in annualized sales from the Broadcom transaction? Is it more related to the core IoT segment or mobile? A: The $40 million in annualized sales from the Broadcom transaction will fall into the core IoT segment as it primarily involves wireless technologies. - Ken Rizvi, Interim CEO & CFO Q: Are there specific areas driving the improvement in bookings and orders within the enterprise segment? A: The improvement is fairly broad, with good traction on the peripheral side. Overall, we have lean inventories and see a path for sequential growth of about $10 million throughout the calendar year, despite a slower growth economic environment. The automotive space remains sluggish. - Ken Rizvi, Interim CEO & CFO Q: Can you elaborate on the potential of the Broadcom transaction in the Android and AR/VR markets? Are there designs in progress? A: The transaction strengthens our core IoT segment, especially in wireless. We expect to ramp revenue with existing and new customers, particularly in calendar years 2026 and 2027. We acquired advanced technologies like WiFi 8 combo chipsets and UWB IP, which will help us in these markets. - Ken Rizvi, Interim CEO & CFO Q: With the Broadcom acquisition, do you see any synergy between your high-end touch position and the Android wireless opportunity? A: We have a strong presence in the high-end Android market, and the Broadcom acquisition allows us to offer complementary WiFi technology. This presents an opportunity to expand our presence among Android OEMs. - Ken Rizvi, Interim CEO & CFO Q: How does the Google collaboration impact your Astra platform and revenue projections? A: The Google collaboration validates our Astra platform but does not change our fiscal '27 ramp forecast. It strengthens our position in the AI edge ecosystem, and we expect sequential growth of about $10 million per quarter, with Broadcom contributing to this growth. - Ken Rizvi, Interim CEO & CFO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

The change does not impact the Company's financial position, cash flows, or GAAP consolidated results of operations. Prior period non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release have been recast to conform to the current presentation. The tables above provide comparisons of quarterly results to prior periods, including sequential quarterly and year-over-year changes. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is contained in this release under the section titled 'Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.' Business Outlook Lumentum expects the following for the fiscal third quarter 2025: Net revenue in the range of $410 million to $425 million Non-GAAP operating margin of 9.5% to 10.5% Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.47 to $0.53 We have not provided reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP measures or the equivalent GAAP measure for non-GAAP measures in our outlook, as they cannot be provided without unreasonable effort. A large portion of non-GAAP adjustments, such as restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments, acquisition related costs, and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future.

Lumentum believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going business operations and results, and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. In addition, the Company believes that providing certain of these measures allows investors to better understand the Company's operating performance and importantly, to evaluate the methodology and information used by management to monitor, manage, evaluate and measure the Company's business and results of operations. However, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies. Our non-GAAP measures used in this press release exclude (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) acquisition related costs, (iii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iv) amortization of acquired inventory fair value, (v) restructuring and related charges, (vi) foreign exchange (gains) losses, net, (vii) non-cash interest expense on convertible notes, (viii) intangible assets write-off, (ix) integration related costs, (x) non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments, and (xi) other charges or income related to non-recurring activities. We utilize a long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate to compute our non-GAAP income tax provision. The long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate is based on a multi-year projection of our estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for the tax effect of non-GAAP pretax adjustments as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items. Our non-GAAP tax provision for fiscal 2025 is 16.5%. The difference between our GAAP income tax provision and our non-GAAP income tax provision is presented as non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments.
