Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAOI), a
leading provider of fiber-optic access network products for the
internet datacenter, cable broadband, telecom and fiber-to-the-home
(FTTH) markets, today announced financial results for its second
quarter 2020 ended June 30, 2020.
“Overall, we are pleased with the progress of our second quarter
financial performance, with revenue ahead of our guidance driven by
strong demand from our datacenter customers and record revenue in
our telecom segment led by deployments of 5G mobile technology,”
said Dr. Thompson Lin, Applied Optoelectronics Inc. Founder,
President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are also encouraged by
the increased contributions from our newer customers, which has led
to a meaningful improvement in customer and end market
diversification. Looking ahead, we expect this momentum to continue
into the third quarter driven by similar trends in increased demand
from both our data center and telecom end markets.”

customers' products or their rate of deployment of their products;
general conditions in the internet datacenter, cable television
(CATV) broadband, telecom, or fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) markets;
changes in the world economy (particularly in the United States and

we assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements for
any reason after the date of this press release to conform these
statements to actual results or to changes in the company's
expectations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss),
and non-GAAP earnings per share to eliminate the impact of items
that we do not consider indicative of our overall operating
performance. To arrive at our non-GAAP gross margin, we exclude
stock-based compensation expense, expenses associated with
discontinued products, and non-recurring expenses, if any, from our
GAAP gross margin. To arrive at our non-GAAP net income (loss), we
exclude all amortization of intangible assets, stock-based
compensation expense, non-recurring expenses, unrealized foreign
exchange gain (loss), losses from the disposal of idle assets, if
any, non-GAAP tax expenses (benefits), and expenses associated with
discontinued products, if any, from our GAAP net income (loss).
Included in our non-recurring expenses in Q2 2020 and Q2 2019 are
certain one-time legal (if any) and consulting fees (if any) and
employee severance expenses (if any). In computing our
non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit), we have applied an estimate
of our annual effective income tax rate and applied it to our net
income before income taxes. Our non-GAAP earnings per share
is calculated by dividing our non-GAAP net income by the fully
diluted share count (for periods in which non-GAAP net income is
positive) or basic share count (for periods in which our non-GAAP
net income is negative). We believe that our non-GAAP measures are
useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the
following reasons:
- We believe that elimination of items such as amortization of
intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring
revenue and expenses, losses from the disposal of idle assets,
unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, unamortized debt issuance
costs associated with the extinguishment of debt, and depreciation
on certain equipment undergoing reconfiguration is appropriate
because treatment of these items may vary for reasons unrelated to
our overall operating performance;
- We believe that elimination of expenses associated with
discontinued products, including depreciation and inventory
obsolescence is appropriate because these expenses are not
indicative of our ongoing operations;
- We believe that estimating non-GAAP income taxes allows
comparison with prior periods and provides additional information
regarding the generation of potential future deferred tax
assets;
- We believe that non-GAAP measures provide better comparability
with our past financial performance, period-to-period results and
with our peer companies, many of which also use similar non-GAAP
financial measures; and
- We anticipate that investors and securities analysts will
utilize non-GAAP measures as a supplement to GAAP measures to
evaluate our overall operating performance.
A reconciliation of our GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings
(loss) per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 to our
non-GAAP net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share is
provided below, together with corresponding reconciliations for the
quarter period ended June 30, 2019. A reconciliation of our
GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings (loss) per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 2020 to our non-GAAP net income (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share is provided in our earnings release dated
August 6, 2020, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6,
2020.
Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to
net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, or any other measure
of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other organizations because other organizations
may not calculate such other non-GAAP measures in the same manner.
We have not reconciled the non-GAAP measures included in our
guidance to the appropriate GAAP financial measures because the
GAAP measures are not readily determinable on a forward-looking
basis. GAAP measures that impact our non-GAAP financial measures
may include stock-based compensation expense, non-recurring
expenses, amortization of intangible assets, unrealized exchange
loss (gain), asset impairment charges, and loss (gain) from
disposal of idle assets. These GAAP measures cannot be reasonably
predicted and may directly impact our non-GAAP gross margin, our
non-GAAP net income and our non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per
share, although changes with respect to certain of these measures
may offset other changes. In addition, certain of these measures
are out of our control. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the
non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP
measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
