On September 10, 2014, the Company announced plans to separate into two publicly traded companies: an optical components and commercial lasers company consisting of JDSU–s current Communications and Commercial Optical Products (“CCOP”) segment, and a network and service enablement company consisting of JDSU–s current Network Enablement (“NE”), Service Enablement (“SE”) and Optical Security and Performance Products (“OSP”) segments. On February 26, 2015, the Company announced the new names of the two companies: the optical components and commercial lasers company will be named Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”), and the network and service enablement company will be renamed Viavi Solutions Inc. (“Viavi”) at the time of the separation. The separation is expected to occur through a tax-free spinoff of CCOP to JDSU shareholders, though the structure is subject to change based upon various business, tax and regulatory factors. The Company expects to complete the separation by the calendar third quarter of 2015.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include any anticipation or guidance as to future financial performance, including future revenue, gross margin, operating expense, operating margin, cash flow and other financial metrics, as well as the impact and duration of certain market conditions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. In particular, the Company–s ability to predict future financial performance continues to be difficult due to, among other things: (a) continuing general limited visibility across many of our product lines; (b) quarter-over-quarter product mix fluctuations, which can materially impact profitability measures due to the broad gross margin ranges across our portfolio; (c) consolidations in our customer base and customer purchasing delays as they assess or transition to new technologies and/or new architectures, which limit near-term demand visibility, and could negatively impact potential revenue; (d) continued decline of average selling prices across our businesses; (e) notable seasonality and a significant level of in-quarter book-and-ship business (f) various product and manufacturing transfers, site consolidations and product discontinuances that have caused and may cause short-term disruptions; (g) the ability of our suppliers and contract manufacturers to meet production and delivery requirements to our forecasted demand; and (h) inherent uncertainty related to global markets and the effect of such markets on demand for our products. Additionally, these statements include (i) information and guidance about the Company–s plans to separate the business into two independent, publicly traded companies, (ii) the composition of those companies, (iii) the anticipated benefits, timing, savings, costs and other impacts of the separation, and (iv) the plan to achieve the separation through a tax-free spinoff. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Risks related to the proposed separation include the requirement to obtain certain approvals, the ability to retain key employees, the ability to recognize anticipated cost savings, the ability of each company to function successfully as a stand-alone entity, potential business disruption caused by separation preparations, customer retention and financing risks. In addition, completion of the separation will be subject to certain conditions, such as approval by our Board of Directors, receipt of tax opinions, effectiveness of a registration statement and foreign regulatory requirements. For more information on the risks related to the operation of Company–s existing business segments, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section included in the Company–s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2014 and the Company–s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal second quarter ended December 27, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date thereof and the Company assumes no obligation to update such statements.

The following financial tables are presented in accordance with GAAP, unless otherwise specified.

The Company provides non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA financial measures as supplemental information regarding the Company–s operational performance. The Company uses the measures disclosed in this release to evaluate the Company–s historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses these items to further its own understanding of the Company–s core operating performance, which the Company believes represent its performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes from core operating performance items such as those relating to amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation, restructuring, separation costs, and certain investing expenses and non-cash activities that management believes are not reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and customary course activities.

The Company believes providing this additional information allows investors to see Company results through the eyes of management. The Company further believes that providing this information allows investors to better understand the Company–s financial performance and, importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.

The non-GAAP adjustments described in this release have historically been excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them, are outlined below.

Cost of sales, costs of research and development and costs of selling, general and administrative: The Company–s GAAP presentation of gross margin and operating expenses may include (i) additional depreciation and amortization from changes in estimated useful life and the write-down of certain property, equipment and intangibles that have been identified for disposal but remained in use until the date of disposal, (ii) workforce related charges such as severance, retention bonuses and employee relocation costs related to formal restructuring plans (iii) costs for facilities not required for ongoing operations, and costs related to the relocation of certain equipment from these facilities and/or contract manufacturer facilities, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) other non-recurring charges comprising mainly of one-time acquisition, integration, litigation and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations, including separation costs incurred to effect the Company–s plan to separate into two separate public companies, such as restructuring, accounting, legal, and professional fees and related non-recurring costs, (vi) product-line termination costs such as the write-off of inventory no longer being sold, and (vii) impairment charges resulting from a write-down or write-off of the carrying value of intangible assets assessed in accordance with authoritative guidance. The Company excludes these items in calculating non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes excluding these items enables investors to evaluate more clearly and consistently the Company–s core operational performance.

Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions: The Company includes amortization expense related to intangibles from acquisitions in its GAAP presentation of cost of sales and operating expense. The Company excludes these significant non-cash items in calculating non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, because it believes doing so provides investors a clearer and more consistent view of the Company–s core operating performance in terms of cost of sales and operating expenses.

Other income (loss), net and non-cash interest expense: The Company incurred non-cash interest expense accretion of the debt discount on its convertible debt instruments and a one-time write-off of unamortized issuance cost related to its revolving credit facility upon termination of the facility. The Company has sold investments or adjusted the value of investments from time to time based on market conditions, and includes the impact of these activities in its GAAP presentation of other income (expense), net. The Company eliminates these items in calculating non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, because it believes that in so doing, it can provide investors a clearer and more consistent view of the Company–s core operating performance.

Income tax expense or benefit: The Company excludes non-cash tax expense related to the utilization of net operating losses where valuation allowances were released, non-cash income tax intraperiod tax allocation benefit and other significant one-time events, such as the benefit realized in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 upon the settlement of a tax audit related to a foreign jurisdiction. The Company believes excluding these items enables investors to evaluate more clearly and consistently the Company–s core operational performance.

Interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments: The Company–s EBITDA calculation primarily excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other items that are not part of its core operating performance described above. The Company–s adjusted EBITDA excludes items in addition to the items excluded from the EBITDA calculation such as stock-based compensation and restructuring and related charges (benefits), and other charges related to non-recurring activities that are not part of its core operating performance described above. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is a good indicator of the Company–s core operational cash flow.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income (loss) is net income (loss). The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is net income (loss) per share. The Company believes these GAAP measures alone are not indicative of its core operating expenses and performance.
