EMCORE Reports Fiscal 2021 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results

ALHAMBRA, CA, November 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR), a leading provider of advanced mixed-signal products that serve the aerospace and defense, communications, and sensing markets, today announced results for the fiscal 2021 fourth quarter (4Q21) and full fiscal year (FY21) ended September 30, 2021. Management will host a conference call to discuss financial and business results tomorrow, Wednesday, December 1, 2021, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time (ET).

For 4Q21, consolidated revenue was $44.0 million, comprised of $11.7 million from the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) segment and $32.2 million from the Broadband segment. Net income was $5.1 million and $6.8 million on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.8 million.

For FY21, consolidated revenue was $158.4 million, comprised of $50.8 million from the A&D segment and $107.6 million from the Broadband segment. Net income was $25.6 million and $24.0 million on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $28.1 million.

"We delivered record-setting financial performance in the fiscal fourth quarter and for the full fiscal year 2021 despite headwinds from semiconductor shortages and supply chain problems. Strong demand from our Broadband customers and solid execution by the Emcore operating team combined to showcase the operating leverage in our business. For FY21, revenue was up 44%, gross margin expanded to 39%, and net income was 16% of revenue," said Jeff Rittichier, Chief Executive Officer of EMCORE. "While the global pandemic impacted our A&D results in FY21, we made strong progress with the development and integration of new products for the navigation market and in strengthening our sales and marketing team. Now that our A&D customers are returning to more normal working environments, we expect significant growth from this segment in FY22."

Aerospace and Defense Segment

For 4Q21, A&D's sequential-quarter revenue decrease was due to lower sales of QMEMS and Defense Optoelectronics products, partially offset by higher FOG revenue. The lower A&D gross margin was primarily due to lower QMEMS margins. Research and development (R&D) expense increased primarily due to lower customer-funded R&D and increased project material costs. For FY21, A&D's revenue decrease was due to lower Navigation revenue (QMEMS and FOG) and lower sales of Defense Optoelectronics products. The lower A&D gross margin was primarily due to the revenue decrease. The reduced R&D expense was primarily attributable to our FOG product line.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company conforms to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the preparation of its financial statements. We disclose supplemental non-GAAP earnings measures for gross profit margin, operating expenses, research and development expenses, operating profit, operating profit margin, net income, and earnings per share, as well as adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes these supplemental non-GAAP measures reflect the Company's core ongoing operating performance and facilitates comparisons across reporting periods. The Company uses these measures when evaluating its financial results and for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe that these supplemental non-GAAP measures are also useful to investors in assessing our operating performance. While we believe in the usefulness of these supplemental non-GAAP measures, there are limitations. Our non-GAAP measures may not be reported by other companies in our industry and/or may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in calculation. We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP measures as a supplement to GAAP and by providing the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure.

The schedules at the end of this press release reconcile the Company's non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The adjustments share one or more of the following characteristics: they are unusual and the Company does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business, they do not involve the expenditure of cash, they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course, or their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the Company's control. For all reporting periods disclosed, the Company has applied consistent rationale, method, and adjustments in reconciling non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP, nor are they meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. Our disclosures of these measures should be read only in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.
