MRV Reports Second-Quarter Results

– Packet and Optical Revenue Increases 19% Sequentially Driving Total Revenue to $21.6 Million –

CHATSWORTH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 4, 2016– MRV Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRVC), a global provider of innovative packet and optical solutions for service providers, data center operators and enterprises, reported financial results for the three- and six-months endedJune 30, 2016.

“Second quarter 2016 packet and optical revenue grew 19% sequentially, demonstrating our strong progress executing our go-to-market strategy,” stated MRV President and CEO Mark Bonney. “We remain focused exclusively on solutions for the Metro, expanding our relationships with Tier 1 customers while targeting new regional service providers and carrier neutral providers in the data center market that are not as well served by larger competitors. As a result, we are gaining momentum across our strategic product portfolio. Our bookings increased for the third consecutive quarter in the Americas, and total bookings reached their highest levels since late 2013 for both our Carrier Ethernet and optical transport solutions globally. Also, orders for our 100G products for the first half of 2016 have already equaled those from all of 2015. Furthering our transition to our next generation solutions, we introduced OptiDriver® and OptiSwitch® product line extensions this quarter. Combined, these factors fuel our confidence as we look forward.”

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results as compared to Second Quarter 2015

The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is provided in the attached table.

  • Revenue was $21.6 million, compared to $24.5 million. The reduction reflects the impact of certain significant network project installations completed in the second quarter of 2015 as well as a reduction of sales of our legacy infrastructure management products. Sequentially, revenue grew 14% from $18.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, driven by 19% growth in packet and optical products.
  • Gross margin was 46.7%, compared to 48.8%. The decline reflects the impact of product mix including the reduced contribution from our legacy infrastructure management products and the impact of increased revenue of 100G products that have higher average costs in current quantities. Gross margin was also negatively impacted by $325,000 of one-time costs associated with the company’s contract manufacturing consolidation.
  • Operating expenses were $12.1 million, compared to $12.7 million, reflecting lower commission expense due to the lower revenue and careful management of all operating expenses.
  • GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $2.0 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.16 per share.
  • Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $1.3 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $0.8 million, or $0.11 per share.
  • Total GAAP net loss, including discontinued operations, was $2.0 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to $0.3 million, or $0.04 per share.

Year-to-date June 30, 2016 Financial Results as compared to Year-to-date 2015

  • Total revenue amounted to $40.5 million, compared to $46.7 million, primarily due to reduced sales of legacy infrastructure management products and fewer network expansion projects in the first half of 2016.
  • Year-to-date, total gross margin was 49.1%, compared to 50.3%.
  • GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $5.9 million, or $0.84 per share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.34 per share.
  • Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $4.8 million, or $0.69 per share, compared $1.7 million, or $0.24 per share.
  • Total GAAP net loss, including discontinued operations, was $5.9 million, or $0.84 per share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.19 per share.

Balance Sheet Highlights

At June 30, 2016, the company remained debt free with cash and investments totaling $30.0 million. This compared to $31.4 million atDecember 31, 2015. In March 2016, the company initiated a $10 million share buyback program. During the second quarter, the company used$1.8 million to repurchase approximately 183,000 shares, bringing the year-to-date total to $1.9 million for approximately 189,000 shares. Lower working capital requirements in the period partially offset the use of cash for the share repurchase program.
