The tables above provide comparisons of quarterly results to prior periods, including sequential quarterly and year-over-year changes. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is contained in this release under the section titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Business Outlook

Lumentum expects the following for the fiscal second quarter 2021:

  • Net revenue in the range of $465 million to $485 million
  • Non-GAAP operating margin of 32.0% to 34.0%
  • Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.70 to $1.90

We have not provided reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP measures for our outlook. A large portion of non-GAAP adjustments, such as restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, non-cash income tax expense and credits, integration related costs, inventory write down due to plans to exit certain product lines and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, Lumentum provides investors with gross margin, gross profit, research and development expense, selling, general and administrative expense, operating margin, operating income, interest and other income (expense), net, income before income taxes, provision for taxes, net income, and net income per share on a non-GAAP basis as well as the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Lumentum believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going business operations and results, as well as cash generation, and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. In addition, the Company believes that providing certain of these measures allow investors to better understand the Company's cash flows and, importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such cash flows. However, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies.

Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share and Adjusted EBITDA exclude (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) inventory write-downs and fixed asset impairment due to cancelled programs, plans to exit certain lines of business and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations, (iii) acquisition and disposition related costs, (iv) integration related costs, (v) amortization of acquired intangibles, (vi) amortization of fair value adjustments, (vii) restructuring and related charges, (viii) non-cash interest expense, (ix) foreign exchange (gains) losses, net, (x) impairment charges, (xi) transferring product lines to Thailand, (xii) excess and obsolete inventory charges driven by U.S. trade restrictions and related decline in demand from Huawei, (xiii) certain expenses related to the COVID-19 outbreak, and (xiv) non-cash income tax impacts. The presentation of these and other similar items in Lumentum's non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual.

A quantitative reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data with respect to historical periods is included in the supplemental financial table attached to this press release.

(1)

For the three months ended September 26, 2020, June 27, 2020 and September 28, 2019, we recorded inventory and fixed asset write down
charges of $0.3 million, $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to the decision to exit the Datacom module and Lithium Niobate product lines.

(2)

During the three months ended June 27, 2020, we recorded expenses of $5.5 million related to the COVID-19 outbreak, which included incremental
costs for payroll expense such as overtime pay, pay for employees who are not working, facilities costs such as gloves, masks and temperature gauges,
and under-utilized capacity at certain facilities, in which manufacturing output was impacted. These COVID-19 related costs were partially offset by benefits
realized from government credits for employers' payroll tax.

(3)

Other charges excluded from gross profit on non-GAAP basis for September 26, 2020, June 27, 2020 and September 28, 2019, primarily include costs
of transferring product lines to new production facilities, including Thailand of $2.1 million, $3.0 million, and $4.8 million, respectively. We also incurred
excess and obsolete inventory charges driven by U.S. trade restrictions and the related decline in demand from Huawei of $5.9 million and $6.7 million
during the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended June 27, 2020,
we incurred $6.2 million impairment charges associated with excess capacity related to our Fiber laser business.

(4)

For the three months ended June 27, 2020, we recorded impairment charges of $1.8 million in property, plant and equipment related to the decision to
exit the Datacom module product line.

(5)

This adjustment represents weighted-average potentially dilutive securities from our stock-based benefit plans excluded from the computation of diluted
net loss per share attributable to common stockholders on a GAAP basis because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. This adjustment amount is
added for the computation of diluted net income per share on a non-GAAP basis as we had a net income on a non-GAAP basis.
