Management Commentary

John Croteau, MACOM's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We had yet another quarter of solid execution, achieving the top end of guidance for revenue and adjusted earnings per share. Aerospace & Defense and Multi-market were both up sequentially and year on year.

Networks was also up sequentially with and without the contribution of Applied Micro, with strong growth in Cloud Data Centers more than offsetting cyclical weakness in our carrier-based optical businesses. We are excited about the opportunity in Cloud Data Centers which is now a separate and distinct secular growth driver for MACOM and believe we are uniquely positioned in one of the highest growth markets of the electronics industry.”

Mr. Croteau concluded, “Also during the quarter, the AppliedMicro integration has gone exceptionally well. The opportunity for our combined businesses has exceeded our expectations, elevating our strategic status at many of the Cloud Data Center customers.”

Business Outlook

For the fiscal third quarter ending June 30, 2017, we expect revenue to be in the range of $194 million to $198 million. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be between 58% and 61%, and adjusted earnings per share between $0.67 and $0.71, on an anticipated 66.3 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
