Fabrinet Announces First Quarter Fiscal-Year 2016 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 first fiscal quarter, ended September 25, 2015.

Tom Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of Fabrinet, said, "We are off to a strong start in fiscal 2016 with first quarter revenue and non-GAAP profitability that exceeded our expectations. In addition to beginning production at our new product introduction and advanced packaging facility in Santa Clara, we recently broke ground on the first building of what will become a second manufacturing campus in Thailand. We expect this added space to enable us to continue scaling our business as our current facilities reach capacity levels. With overall manufacturing space at our new campus that will ultimately represent a more than doubling of capacity, we are setting the stage for continued profitable growth as we look ahead."

First Quarter Fiscal-Year 2016 Financial Highlights

GAAP Results

  • Revenue was $216.4 million for first quarter of fiscal year 2016, an increase of 14% compared to total revenue of $189.3 million for the comparable period in fiscal year 2015.
  • GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $1.6 million, compared to GAAP net income of $11.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. The decrease in GAAP net income was primarily due to a $(10.9) million unrealized foreign exchange loss for the mark-to-market adjustment of forward contracts entered into to partially hedge against future variable costs.
  • GAAP net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $0.04 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $0.31 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Non-GAAP Results

  • Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $16.2 million, an increase of 12% compared to non-GAAP net income of $14.5 million in the same period a year ago.
  • Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $0.45 per diluted share, an increase from non-GAAP net income of $0.41 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of November 2, 2015, Fabrinet is issuing guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 as follows:

  • Fabrinet expects second quarter revenue to be in the range of $218 million to $222 million.
  • GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.41 to $0.43, based on approximately 36.6 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
  • Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.45 to $0.47, based on approximately 36.6 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 continue to achieve profitable growth 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 second 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 annual report on Form 10-K, filed on August 19, 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, investigation cost, expenses related to flooding, amortization of debt issuance costs and unrealized loss on foreign currency. 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.
