Management Commentary

John Croteau, MACOM's president and chief executive officer, stated, "I am pleased to announce another quarter of solid execution. During the fiscal third quarter Networks grew on the back of strong demand in 100G for long haul and metro and lasers in the access market. In addition, we saw weakness in multi-market, including industrial. That said, end market demand across the full breadth of our catalog portfolio including Networks and A&D more than offset this weakness and actually grew sequentially.

During the quarter, we successfully achieved our goal of doubling laser production capacity at our Ithaca fab. We remain on track to double production capacity using our Lowellfab by the beginning of calendar 2016. These expansion efforts will enable us to address the next secular growth opportunity in datacenters."

Mr. Croteau concluded, "In mid-July we announced a definitive agreement to divest our automotive business to Autoliv ASP Inc. This divestiture supports MACOM's strategy to be a pure-play high performance analog company. We expect it will significantly accelerate our ability to meet our target operating model of 60% non-GAAP gross margin and 30% non-GAAP operating margin. We anticipate our optical and laser businesses will continue to outperform allowing us to meet our growth and profit objectives."

Business Outlook

For the fiscal fourth quarter ending October 2, 2015, MACOM expects another quarter of growth with revenue expected to be in the range of $133 to $137 million. Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 53 and 55 percent, and non-GAAP earnings per share between $0.43 and $0.46 on an anticipated 55.5 million shares outstanding, based on our increased share count following the public offering of common stock we completed in February.
