SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infinera Corporation (NASDAQ:INFN) today released financial results for its second quarter ended June 29, 2024.

GAAP revenue for the quarter was $342.7 million compared to $306.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $376.2 million in the second quarter of 2023.

GAAP gross margin for the quarter was 39.6% compared to 36.0% in the first quarter of 2024 and 38.0% in the second quarter of 2023. GAAP operating margin for the quarter was (8.7)% compared to (14.0)% in the first quarter of 2024 and (3.8)% in the second quarter of 2023.

GAAP net loss for the quarter was $(48.3) million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(61.4) million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024, and net loss of $(20.3) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP gross margin for the quarter was 40.3% compared to 36.6% in the first quarter of 2024 and 39.3% in the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP operating margin for the quarter was (1.3)% compared to (8.4)% in the first quarter of 2024 and 2.8% in the second quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $(14.0) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(38.3) million, or $(0.17) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024, and non-GAAP net loss of $(0.7) million, or $(0.00) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023.

We ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at $115.7 million.

A further explanation of the use of non-GAAP financial information and a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found at the end of this press release.

Infinera CEO, David Heard said "I am pleased with our second quarter results with revenue, gross margin and operating margin all above the midpoint of our outlook range. While the timing and pace of customer demand recovery remain uncertain, we continued our design-win momentum across our optical networking product portfolio in the quarter, with bookings up both sequentially and on a year-over-year basis. We ended Q2 with a book-to-bill ratio above 1."

"We remain excited about our pending combination with Nokia. Customers see value in accelerating the pace of innovation to lower both the cost per bit and power per bit required to stay ahead of the capacity demands fueled by high-bandwidth usage applications including AI. Together, the combined business would have a broadened portfolio, greater scale and geographic reach, while leveraging vertically integrated optical semiconductor technologies developed here in the U.S."

Pending Merger with Nokia

On June 27, 2024, Infinera, Nokia Corporation, a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Finland ("Nokia") and Neptune of America Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Nokia ("Merger Sub") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, modified or waived from time to time, the "Merger Agreement") that provides for Merger Sub to merge with and into Infinera (the "Merger"), with Infinera surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nokia. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2025.

In light of the proposed transaction with Nokia, and as is customary during the pendency of an acquisition, Infinera will not be providing financial guidance during the pendency of the acquisition.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude in certain cases stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and other related costs, warehouse fire recovery, merger-related charges, foreign exchange (gains) losses, net, and income tax effects. Infinera believes these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of its underlying financial performance and also its prospects for the future and are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for its planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for gross margin, operating expenses, operating margin, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to limitations.

For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the table titled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" and related footnotes.

⁽²⁾	Amortization of acquired intangible assets consists of developed technology and customer relationships acquired in connection with the acquisitions of Coriant and Transmode AB. GAAP accounting requires that acquired intangible assets are recorded at fair value and amortized over their useful lives. As this amortization is non-cash, Infinera has excluded it from its non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses and net income measures. Management believes the amortization of acquired intangible assets is not indicative of ongoing operating performance and its exclusion provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business performance.

⁽³⁾	Restructuring and other related costs are primarily associated with the reduction of headcount and the reduction of operating costs. In addition, this includes accelerated amortization on operating lease right-of-use assets due to the cessation of use of certain facilities. Management has excluded the impact of these charges in arriving at Infinera's non-GAAP results as they are non-recurring in nature and its exclusion provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business performance.

⁽⁴⁾	Warehouse fire losses were incurred due to inventory destroyed in a warehouse fire in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022. Recoveries are recorded when they are probable of receipt. Management has excluded the impact of this loss and subsequent recoveries in arriving at Infinera's non-GAAP results as it is non-recurring in nature and its exclusion provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business performance.

⁽⁵⁾	Merger-related charges represent costs incurred directly in connection with the pending merger with Nokia. Management has excluded the impact of these charges in arriving at Infinera's non-GAAP results as they are non-recurring in nature and the exclusion of these charges provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business performance.

⁽⁶⁾	Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net, have been excluded from Infinera's non-GAAP results because management believes that this expense is not indicative of ongoing operating performance and its exclusion provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business performance.

⁽⁷⁾	The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP tax provision is due to the net tax effects of above non-GAAP adjustments. Management believes the exclusion of these tax effects provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business performance.

⁽⁸⁾	The GAAP diluted shares include potentially dilutive securities from Infinera's stock-based benefit plans and convertible senior notes. These potentially dilutive securities are added for the computation of diluted net income per share on a GAAP basis in periods when Infinera has net income on a GAAP basis, as its inclusion provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business performance.

For purposes of calculating GAAP diluted earnings per share, we used the following net loss and weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share data):

	^(a)	For the three- months ended June 29, 2024, March 30, 2024, and July 1, 2023, there were 1.9 million, 1.9 million and 9.0 million shares, respectively, excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect. For the six-months ended June 29, 2024, and July 1, 2023, there were 1.9 million, and 9.7 million shares, respectively, excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

	^(b)	For each of the three- months ended June 29, 2024, March 30, 2024, and July 1, 2023, there were 26.1 million shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect. For each of the six-months ended June 29, 2024, and July 1, 2023, there were 26.1 million shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

For the six-months ended June 29, 2024, there were no shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share. For the six-months ended July 1, 2023, there were 1.8 million shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

⁽⁹⁾	The non-GAAP diluted shares include the potentially dilutive securities from Infinera's stock-based benefit plans and convertible senior notes. These potentially dilutive securities are added for the computation of diluted net income per share on a non-GAAP basis in periods when Infinera has net income on a non-GAAP basis as its inclusion provides a better indication of Infinera's underlying business performance. Refer to the diluted earnings per share reconciliation presented below.

⁽¹⁰⁾	Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to operating loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP. Infinera's adjusted EBITDA is calculated by excluding the above non-GAAP adjustments, interest expense, net, other gain (loss), net, income tax effects and depreciation expenses. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an important financial measure for use in evaluating Infinera's financial performance, as it measures the ability of our business operations to generate cash.

For purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, we used the following net income (loss) and weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share data):

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the period minus the purchase of property and equipment made in the period.

Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SEC's rules. Management believes that free cash flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating Infinera's financial performance, as it measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net loss as a measure of our performance or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, our definition of free cash flow is limited and does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other obligations. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as supplemental to our entire statement of cash flows.

⁽¹⁾	Non-GAAP adjustments include stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and other related costs and warehouse fire recovery. For a description of this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section titled, "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" of this press release for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. For reconciliations of prior periods that are not otherwise provided herein, see the prior period earnings releases available on our Investor Relations webpage.

⁽²⁾	Infinera calculates DSO based on 91 days. Fiscal year 2022 was 53 weeks and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 was 98 days. When calculation is based on 98 days, DSO was 85 days for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.

⁽³⁾	Infinera calculates non-GAAP inventory turns as annualized non-GAAP cost of revenue, which is calculated as GAAP cost of revenue less stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and other related costs and warehouse fire recovery, as illustrated in the reconciliation of gross profit above, divided by the average inventory for the quarter.
