Management Commentary

John Croteau, MACOM's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Top line revenue for the quarter was effectively flat sequentially due to expected seasonality across our businesses. Networks and Multi-market were up year on year 31% and 48%, respectively. Aerospace and Defense grew sequentially due to strength in MMICs, and was up 20% year on year.

“The merits of diversification across our Optical businesses were apparent during the quarter as a substantial correction in PON was offset by strength in Metro, Long Haul, and Data Centers.”

Mr. Croteau concluded, “I am proud to announce the completion of the AppliedMicro transaction. Its leadership in MACsec and 100G to 400G single-Lambda PAM4 positions MACOM as a preferred supplier to major Enterprise and Cloud Data Center providers, many of whom are actively moving forward with the technologies this year.”

Business Outlook

For the fiscal second quarter ending March 31, 2017, including the partial quarter results of our recently closed AppliedMicro acquisition, MACOM expects revenue to be in the range of $180 million to $186 million. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be between 58% and 61%, and adjusted earnings per share between $0.59 and $0.63, on an anticipated 64.0 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
