2017 SECOND FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS

For the second fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2017, Coherent announced net sales of $422.8 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $41.8 million, or $1.69 per diluted share.  These results compare to net sales of $199.9 million and net income of $17.8 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $72.1 million, or $2.91 per diluted share.  Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $25.3 million, or $1.04 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended April 1, 2017, December 31, 2016 and April 2, 2016 and six months ended April 1, 2017 and April 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 first quarter of fiscal 2017 were $346.1 million and net income, on a GAAP basis, was $30.4 million, or $1.23 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $63.4 million, or $2.57 per diluted share.

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. As a result, Rofin's operating results were consolidated for the period from November 7, 2016 through December 31, 2016 in Coherent's first fiscal quarter results ended December 31, 2016, and a full quarter of Rofin's operating results in Coherent's second fiscal quarter results ended April 1, 2017.

"Coherent delivered operating results that exceeded the high end of guidance with almost all markets and geographies making contributions. We are seeing unprecedented demand across many of our verticals as we capitalize upon market trends as well as R&D investments made over the last few years.  The largest opportunity is in FPD where customers are projecting capacity at the high-end of our model.  We will likely make additional capital investments during fiscal 2018 in system test, optics fabrication and depot repair to address the demand.  We are also encouraged by the performance of our materials processing business, especially the early traction with high power fiber lasers," said John Ambroseo, Coherent's President and CEO.  "Our balance sheet is also in very good shape.  The record results led to meaningful cash generation and we have voluntarily begun to pay down the debt we assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of Rofin-Sinar.  In addition, a favorable credit environment in Europe has enabled us to reprice the Euro denominated debt to 3.0% from 4.25%.  This is an outstanding outcome that will allow us to accelerate pay down of the debt," Ambroseo added.

On May 8, 2017, Coherent entered into a repricing amendment to its Credit Agreement to, among other things, reflect a reduction in the interest rate on borrowings for its Euro Term Loan. As a result of a voluntary prepayment, the outstanding principal amount repriced was 636.7 million Euro (approximately $680 million).

CONFERENCE CALL REMINDER

The Company will host a conference call today to discuss its financial results at 1:30 P.M. Pacific (4:30 P.M. Eastern).
