Management Commentary

“Overall the quarter played out largely as expected," commented John Croteau, President and CEO of MACOM. "We made tangible progress in yield improvements for our 25G lasers and are now starting to execute a controlled ramp, scaling into high volume production. Based on our expected higher production volumes of 25G lasers, we added a new white-box transceiver customer, thereby launching our Data Center solutions business model. This business model provides dedicated transceiver manufacturing capacity and a ready-made supply chain to the end markets, and for MACOM, a dedicated customer which we anticipate will consume our Data Center semiconductor components as we scale production in the second half of calendar 2018.”

Mr. Croteau concluded, “With increasing availability of our lasers, we believe that we are well positioned to step and repeat, scaling our solutions business model by enabling multiple, high-volume manufacturing customers to begin production ramps to meet industry demand over the course of the coming quarters.”

Business Outlook

For the fiscal fourth quarter ending September 28, 2018, MACOM expects adjusted revenue to be in the range of $149 million to $155 million. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be between 55% and 57%, and adjusted earnings per share between $0.15 and $0.17 on an anticipated 66.5 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
