JDSU Introduces a Fiber Optic Test First: I-PMD™
Innovation Enables Network Operators to Conduct Critical Tests Without Disrupting Customer Service
MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 19, 2012) -
JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU) (TSX: JDU) today introduced the first test solution that allows network operators to conduct critical fiber-optic network testing without disrupting customer service. Available on the T-BERD® /MTS-8000 field test platform, JDSU's In-Service PMD (I-PMD™) analyzer qualifies fiber-optic networks and tests polarization mode dispersion (PMD), a common impairment factor, without having to shut down links or re-route live traffic.
Measurement of PMD is critical as it impacts the speed with which data can be transmitted and causes issues such as increased bit error rate and packet loss. Unlike competing solutions that require extra equipment and traffic to be shut down or re-routed, JDSU's I-PMD can measure PMD inside live traffic streams without suspending voice, video and data services, reducing operating expenses while improving customer service.
JDSU's I-PMD was developed in collaboration with a leading U.S. tier-one telecommunication service provider. The I-PMD test analyzer can be placed anywhere in the network at any time and gathers data on PMD, in-band optical signal noise ratio and transmission problems. It simplifies fiber-optic network testing at a time when a growing number of high-bandwidth applications and the migration to 10G, 40G and 100G transmission speeds are adding network complexity.
"With new applications being delivered to customers every day, communication service providers are requiring a more sophisticated way to measure key performance metrics from live traffic in order to deliver the highest-caliber customer experience," said Enzo DiLuigi, vice president and general manager in JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "JDSU's I-PMD solution quickly identifies risks to service degradation and outages, and virtually eliminates network downtime, which are top priorities for network service providers."
In addition to its unique capability to monitor a network without shutting it down, JDSU's I-PMD also captures all relevant data in a single snapshot, reducing the time it takes to troubleshoot an issue. I-PMD cuts the number of technicians required to troubleshoot a problem in half and reduces the number of test instruments for a technician to carry by three.
To learn more about JDSU's I-PMD test analyzer, watch a recent JDSU video blog demonstration from OFC 2012, or click here for information available on the JDSU website.

GAAP Gross margin of 41.5%; Non-GAAP Gross margin of 45.5%
GAAP EPS of $(0.08); Non-GAAP EPS of $0.11
JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU) (TSX: JDU) today reported results for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012.
On a GAAP basis, net revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2012 was $409.2 million and net loss was $(17.4) million, or $(0.08) per share. This compares to net revenue of $412.8 million and net loss of $(10.2) million, or $(0.04) per share for the prior quarter, and net revenue of $454.0 million and net income of $38.6 million, or $0.16 per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2011.
On a non-GAAP basis, net revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2012 was $409.2 million and net income was $25.3 million or $0.11 per share. This compares to non-GAAP net revenue of $413.1 million and net income of $35.8 million, or $0.15 per share for the prior quarter, and non-GAAP net revenue of $455.4 million and net income of $51.0 million, or $0.22 per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2011.
"Although we saw lower than expected revenue in the quarter due to later than anticipated carrier orders and global macro-economic uncertainty, I am pleased with the progress we made on our strategic priorities and bottom line results," said Tom Waechter, JDSU's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our focus on operational execution led to operating margins at the high end of our guidance. We believe end-market drivers remain strong as our book to bill ratio exceeded 1 for the second consecutive quarter. Our differentiated products and solutions are well aligned with our customers' needs."

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains, and the discussions in our subsequent conference call will contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include: (i) any anticipation or guidance as to future financial performance, including future revenue, gross margin, operating expense, operating margin, cash flow and other financial metrics; and (ii) the Company's beliefs regarding the purpose, usefulness and efficacy of non-GAAP results and the measures and items the Company includes in the same, as well as any benefits to investors the Company believes its non-GAAP measures provide. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. In particular, the Company's ability to predict future financial performance continues to be difficult due to, among other things: (a) continuing general limited visibility across many of our product lines exacerbated by continued credit and financial market uncertainty, as well as the migration to vendor managed inventory programs; (b) quarter-over-quarter product mix fluctuations, which can materially impact profitability measures due to the broad gross margin range across our portfolio; (c) consolidation of our customer base, which, in the shorter term limits demand visibility, and, in the longer term, could reduce our business potential; (d) average selling prices continue to decline across our businesses; (e) our Communications Test and Measurement business experiences notable seasonality and a significant level of in-quarter book-and-ship business, further limiting our forecasting abilities; (f) we are currently engaged in various product and manufacturing transfers, site consolidations and product discontinuances, which has caused and may cause short term disruptions; and (g) the ability of our suppliers and contract manufacturers to meet production and delivery requirements to our forecasted demand.
For more information on these and other risks affecting the Company's business, please refer to the "Risk Factors" section included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP (Adjusted) Financial Measures
The Company provides non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share financial measures as supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance. The Company evaluates Company-wide segment performance using, among other things, the measures disclosed in this release for the purposes of evaluating the Company's historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to its competitors. Specifically, management uses these items to further its own understanding of the Company's core operating performance. The Company believes its "core operating performance" represents the Company's performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes from "core operating performance" those items, such as those relating to restructuring, investing, stock-based compensation expense and non-cash activities that management does not believe are reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and customary course activities.
The Company believes that providing this information to its investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to see Company results "through the eyes" of management. The Company further believes that providing this information allows Company investors to both better understand the Company's financial performance and, importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.
The non-GAAP adjustments described in this release have historically been excluded by the Company from its non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them, are outlined below.
Revenue from acquisition related deferred revenue: The Company excludes the fair value adjustment to acquisition related deferred revenue when calculating non-GAAP revenue. The Company believes that the non-GAAP revenue provides useful information for the investors as they review for underlying trends in the business and facilitate the investors' comparisons of the Company's revenue performance with prior and future periods and to the Company's peers.
Cost of sales, costs of research and development and costs of selling, general and administrative: The Company has incurred periodic expenses, included in its GAAP presentation of gross margin and operating expenses that may include (i) additional depreciation from changes in estimated useful life and the write-down of certain property and equipment that has been identified for disposal but remained in use until the date of disposal, (ii) workforce related charges such as severance, retention bonuses and employee relocation costs related to a formal restructuring plan, (iii) costs for facilities not required for ongoing operations, and costs related to the relocation of certain equipment from these facilities and/or contract manufacturer facilities, (iv) stock-based compensation under authoritative guidance, (v) other non-recurring charges comprising mainly of incremental costs as a result of flooding in Thailand at one of our manufacturing partners, Fabrinet, one-time acquisition, integration, litigation contingency and other costs. The Company excludes these items for the purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. The Company believes that the impact of these items does not reflect expected future gross profits or operating expenses nor does the Company believe that they provide a meaningful evaluation of current versus past core operational performance.
Gain or loss on sale of available for-sale investments and impairment of investments: The Company has sold investments or adjusted the value of investments from time to time based on market conditions. The Company's activities in this respect are included in the Company's GAAP presentation of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share. The Company's core business does not include making financial investments in third parties, and such investments do not constitute a material portion of the Company's assets. Moreover, the amount and timing of gains and losses and adjustments to the value of investments are unpredictable. Consequently, the Company believes that gains or losses on these sales and adjustments to the value of investments are not related to the ongoing core business and operating performance of the Company. The Company excludes these items for the purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. The Company believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of the Company's "core operating performance".
Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions: The Company records amortization expense related to intangibles. These expenses are included in its GAAP presentation of cost of sales and operating expense, related to the various acquisitions it has made. The Company excludes these items for the purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. The Company believes that eliminating this expense from operating income is useful to investors because it believes the GAAP measure, alone, is not indicative of its "core operating performance" on cost of sales and operating expenses.
Non-cash interest expense: The Company incurs non-cash interest expense accounted for under the authoritative guidance on convertible debt instruments, which requires to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of such instruments. The Company believes that eliminating this item for the purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, is useful to investors. The Company describes the impact of this guidance, in its fiscal 2011 annual report on Form 10-K. The Company believes this GAAP measure is not indicative of its "core operating performance".
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income (loss) is net income (loss). The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is net income (loss) per share. The Company believes that these GAAP measures alone are not indicative of its core operating expenses and performance.

JDSU's Post-Earnings Trading Pattern Sets Up Plays For Longs And Shorts
November 1, 2011
JDSU (JDSU) is due to report its Q1 results after the bell tonight, and analysts polled by Thomson Reuters are expecting the company to post revenue of $415 million and a profit of $0.13 per share.
JDSU is one to watch for potential next-day wider movement as the stock has seen more aggressive next-day action following 24 of its last 31 after-hours earnings events, or about 77% of the time.
