Fabrinet Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal-Year 2015 Financial Results

BANGKOK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fabrinet (NYSE:FN), a leading provider of advanced optical packaging and precision optical, electro-mechanical and electronic manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers of complex products, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 26, 2015.

Fabrinet reported total revenue of $206.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, its highest quarterly revenue to-date and an increase of 29% compared to total revenue of $160.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal year 2014. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 was $13.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $10.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $14.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, an increase of 20% compared to non-GAAP net income of $12.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago.

For fiscal year 2015, Fabrinet reported total revenue of $773.6 million, an increase of 14% compared to total revenue of $677.9 million for fiscal year 2014. GAAP net income for fiscal year 2015 was $43.6 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $91.7 million, or $2.58 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2014. GAAP net income in fiscal 2014 was positively impacted by $44.0 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, due to the collection of insurance proceeds. Non-GAAP net income in fiscal year 2015 was $56.4 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, an increase of 3% compared to non-GAAP net income of $54.6 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2014.

Tom Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of Fabrinet, said, "We ended fiscal 2015 on a strong note with record revenue and growth across all our market segments. As we start fiscal 2016, I am confident that our initiatives to expand our new product introduction and advanced packaging capabilities, combined with our focus on total customer satisfaction and world-class quality will enable us to deliver another year of profitable growth in fiscal 2016."

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of August 17, 2015, Fabrinet is issuing guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 as follows:

Fabrinet expects first quarter revenue to be in the range of $206 million to $210 million. GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.33 to $0.35 with expected non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.41 to $0.43, based on approximately 36.5 million fully diluted shares outstanding.

Forward-Looking Statements

"Safe Harbor" Statement Under U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include our expectation that we will achieve profitable growth in fiscal 2016 and all of the statements under the "Business Outlook" section regarding our expected revenue and GAAP and non-GAAP net income per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: less customer demand for our products and services than forecasted; less growth in the optical communications, industrial lasers and sensors markets than we forecast; difficulties expanding into additional markets, such as the semiconductor processing, biotechnology, metrology and materials processing markets; increased competition in the optical manufacturing services markets; difficulties in delivering products and services that compete effectively from a price and performance perspective; our reliance on a small number of customers and suppliers; difficulties in managing our operating costs; difficulties in managing and operating our business across multiple countries (including the U.S., Thailand and the People's Republic of China); and other important factors as described in reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the factors described under the section captioned "Risk Factors" in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q, filed on May 5, 2015. We disclaim any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financials

The Company refers to the non-GAAP financial measures cited above in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's ongoing operational performance. Non-GAAP net income excludes share-based compensation expenses, follow-on offering expenses, executive separation cost, investigation cost and income related to flooding. We have excluded these items in order to enhance investors' understanding of our ongoing operations. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations because they should not be used to evaluate our company without reference to their corresponding GAAP financial measures. As such, we compensate for these material limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are used to: (1) measure company performance against historical results, (2) facilitate comparisons to our competitors' operating results, and (3) allow greater transparency with respect to information used by management in financial and operational decision making. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are used to measure company performance for the purposes of determining employee incentive plan compensation.
