SECOND FISCAL QUARTER DETAILS
For the second quarter of fiscal 2019, Coherent announced net sales of $372.9 million and net income, on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, of $20.8 million, or $0.85 per diluted share. These results compare to net sales of $481.1 million and net income of $65.3 million, or $2.61 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and net sales of $383.1 million and net income of $35.6 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $39.2 million, or $1.61 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $84.3 million, or $3.37 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $51.1 million, or $2.09 per diluted share. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 30, 2019, December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2018 and six months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 appear in the financial statements portion of this release under the heading "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP net income."
"Overall demand mirrored the behavior of global end markets. In the display space, revenue was consistent with our previous commentary that 2019 would be a down year for capital investment. Very recent conversations with panel manufacturers indicate a number of new fabs are scheduled to come online starting in 2020. Orders in materials processing improved sequentially and customer sentiment at the recent Shanghai show was upbeat. While encouraging, it seems too early to declare an imminent bounce back particularly given the unresolved trade issues between the U.S. and China as well as a weakening PMI in the Eurozone. Our OEM component business is robust and headed for a record-setting year. Growth is especially strong in the aerospace and defense market where our U.S. manufacturing base and product portfolio are highly valued," said John Ambroseo, Coherent's President and Chief Executive Officer.
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). A listen-only broadcast of the conference call and a transcript of management's prepared remarks can be accessed on the Company's website at http://www.coherent.com/Investors/. For those who are not able to listen to the live broadcast, the call will be archived for approximately three months on the Company's website.
