EMCORE Reports Fiscal 2021 Third Quarter Results
ALHAMBRA, CA, August 4, 2021 - EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR), a leading provider of advanced mixed-signal products that serve the aerospace & defense and broadband communications markets, today announced results for the fiscal 2021 third quarter ended June 30, 2021 (3Q21). Management will host a conference call to discuss financial and business results tomorrow, Thursday, August 5, 2021, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time.
Consolidated revenue for 3Q21 was $42.7 million, comprised of $12.3 million from the Aerospace & Defense segment and $30.3 million from the Broadband segment. Net income was $13.6 million and $7.9 million on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $8.9 million. Please refer to the schedules at the end of this press release for GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations and other information related to non-GAAP financial measures.
'The Broadband business segment drove record financial performance for EMCORE. Revenue, up 11% on a sequential quarter basis, and gross margins above 40% drove substantial bottom-line growth on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, as well as strong operating cash flow,' said Jeff Rittichier, Chief Executive Officer of EMCORE. 'A&D gross margin increased as our Navigation business grew sequentially on stronger QMEMS and FOG revenue.'

Aerospace and Defense (A&D) Segment
A&D's sequential-quarter revenue decrease was due to lower sales of Defense Optoelectronics products, partly offset by increased Navigation revenue. The higher A&D gross margin was driven primarily by improved QMEMS margins. R&D expense was higher as a result of increased project material costs and lower revenue-related engineering labor recorded as cost of goods sold.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company conforms to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('GAAP') in the preparation of its financial statements. We disclose supplemental non-GAAP earnings measures for gross profit margin, operating expenses, operating profit margin, net income, and earnings per share, as well as adjusted EBITDA.
Management believes these supplemental non-GAAP measures reflect the Company's core ongoing operating performance and facilitates comparisons across reporting periods. The Company uses these measures when evaluating its financial results and for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe that these supplemental non-GAAP measures are also useful to investors in assessing our operating performance. While we believe in the usefulness of these supplemental non-GAAP measures, there are limitations. Our non-GAAP measures may not be reported by other companies in our industry and/or may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in calculation. We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP measures as a supplement to GAAP and by providing the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure.
The schedules at the end of this press release reconcile the Company's non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The adjustments share one or more of the following characteristics: they are unusual and the Company does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business, they do not involve the expenditure of cash, they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course, or their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the Company's control. For all reporting periods disclosed, the Company has applied consistent rationale, method, and adjustments in reconciling non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP, nor are they meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. Our disclosures of these measures should be read only in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.
