MACOM Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Results

"In the December quarter, we expect Networks demand to remain soft, and the A&D and Multi-market businesses to return to more normalized levels. We expect the December quarter will be the bottom of the down-cycle in network infrastructure, which appears to be on the verge of turning.

"We see 2018 providing a more positive environment. In addition to expecting a cyclical recovery in Telecom networks, we’ve expanded our customer footprint, and several of our secular growth drivers look to be approaching major inflection points as we secure deals with industry franchise players. We believe we are poised to be a major beneficiary of the upgrade from 40G to 100G CWDM that’s well underway inside the Data Center."

Mr. Croteau concluded, "While the near-term environment remains challenging, we believe we have the design wins and customer commitments to support market share growth in areas of existing strength as well as across new growth engines. When global demand recovers from the temporary pause in China, MACOM will return to our long track record of outperformance over the course of 2018."

Business Outlook

For the fiscal first quarter ending December 29, 2017, we expect revenue to be in the range of $130 million to $136 million. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be between 55% and 58%, and adjusted earnings per share between $0.10 and $0.16, on an anticipated 66.5 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
