Overview


We are an industry-leading provider of optical and photonic products defined by
revenue and market share, addressing a range of end-market applications
including Optical Communications ("OpComms") and Commercial Lasers ("Lasers")
for manufacturing, inspection and life-science applications.
We have two operating segments, OpComms and Lasers. The two operating segments
were primarily determined based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker
("CODM") views and evaluates our operations. Operating results are regularly
reviewed by the CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the
segments and to assess their performance. Other factors, including market
separation and customer specific applications, go-to-market channels, products
and manufacturing, are considered in determining the formation of these
operating segments.
We believe the global markets in which Lumentum participates have fundamentally
robust, long-term trends that increase the need for our photonics products and
technologies. We believe the world is becoming more reliant on ever-increasing
amounts of data flowing through optical networks and data centers. Lumentum's
products and technology enable the scaling of these optical networks and data
centers to higher capacities. We expect the accelerating shift to digital and
virtual approaches to all aspects of work and life that is driving staggering
amounts of data in the world's networks and cloud datacenters will continue into
the future. Virtual meetings, video calls, and hybrid in-person and virtual
environments for work and other aspects of life will continue to drive strong
needs for bandwidth growth and present dynamic new technology challenges that
our technology addresses. As manufacturers demand higher levels of precision,
new materials, and factory and energy efficiency, suppliers of manufacturing
tools globally are turning to laser based approaches, including the types of
lasers Lumentum supplies. Laser based 3D sensing and LiDAR for security,
industrial and automotive applications are rapidly developing markets. The
technology enables computer vision applications that enhance security, safety,
and new functionality in the electronic devices that people rely on every day.
The use of LiDAR and in-cabin 3D sensing in automobile and delivery vehicles
over time significantly adds to our long-term market opportunity. Frictionless
and contactless biometric security and access control is of increasing focus
globally given the world's experience with the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally,
we expect 3D enabled machine vision solutions to expand significantly in
industrial applications in the coming years.
To maintain and grow our market and technology leadership positions, we are
continually investing in new and differentiated products and technologies and
customer programs that address both nearer-term and longer-term growth
opportunities, both organically and through acquisitions, as well as continually
improving and optimizing our operations. Over many years, we have developed
close relationships with market leading customers. We seek to use our core
optical and photonic technology and our volume manufacturing capability to
expand into attractive emerging markets that benefit from advantages that
optical or photonics-based solutions provide.
Impact of COVID-19 to our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused public health officials to recommend, and
governments to enact, precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, including
travel restrictions and bans, extensive social distancing guidelines, closure or
restrictions on business and quarantine or other types of "shelter-in-place"
orders in many regions of the world. The pandemic and these related responses
have caused, and are expected to continue to cause a global slowdown of economic
activity (including a decrease in demand for a broad variety of goods and
services), disruptions in global supply chains, labor shortages, and significant
volatility and potential disruption of financial markets. We have adopted
several measures in response to the COVID-19 outbreak including complying with
local, state or federal orders that require employees to work from home,
instructing employees to work from home in certain jurisdictions, limiting the
number of employees onsite which slowed our manufacturing operations in certain
countries, enhanced use of personal protective equipment and restricting
non-critical business travel by our employees.
In the geographies where we have operations, we have, in general, been deemed an
essential business and been permitted to continue manufacturing and conducting
new product development operations in a more limited capacity during the
pandemic. This stems from our critical role in global supply chains for the
world's communications and health-care systems. Given the continually evolving
situation, it is difficult to predict the magnitude and duration of the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic to our markets or precisely when our ability to supply
our products will return to full capacity. We are continuing to actively monitor
the situation and may take further actions altering our business operations that
we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, communities,
business partners, suppliers and stockholders, or as required by federal, state,
or local authorities. It is not clear what the potential effects any such
alterations or modifications may have on our business, including the effects on
our customers, employees and prospects, or on our financial results for fiscal
year 2022.
                                       33
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on our reported results
for our first quarter of fiscal 2022, we are actively monitoring the impact of
the pandemic on our operations. The extent to which our operations will be
impacted by the outbreak will depend largely on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information
which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and additional
variants, the speed, efficacy and acceptance of vaccine distributions, variant
strains of the virus, actions by government authorities and private businesses
to contain the severity of the outbreak and emerging variants in various
geographies and the speed and trajectory of any recovery from the impact of the
pandemic, among other things.
COVID-19 has also created dynamics in the semiconductor component supply chains
that have led to shortages of the types of components we and our customers
require in our products. These shortages have impacted our ability to generate
revenue from certain products in early fiscal 2022 and, if our ability to
procure needed semiconductor components does not improve, this will impact our
ability to supply our products to our customers and may reduce our revenue and
profit margin. In addition, if our customers are unable to procure needed
semiconductor components, this could reduce their demand for our products and
reduce our revenue. The impact of semiconductor component shortages may increase
in the near term as supplier and customer buffer inventories and safety stocks
are exhausted.
Our primary strategic focus for several years has been technology and product
leadership combined with close customer relationships in long-term healthy and
growing markets. We believe this strategy is even more apt, and our long-term
opportunity is not diminished, with COVID-19. We believe there are long-term
opportunities, as the world's experience with COVID-19 could drive an
increasingly digital and virtual world touching all aspects of life and work
that increasingly emphasizes communications systems, cloud services, augmented
and virtual reality, and enhanced security. Additionally, ever advancing
electronic devices are needed to consume, produce, and communicate digital and
virtual content. All these trends could drive the need for higher volumes of
higher performing optical devices that we could supply. As such, we expect to
continue to invest strongly in new products, technology and customer programs.
For more information on risks associated with the COVID-19 outbreak and
regulatory actions, see the section titled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part II.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as set forth in the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification
("ASC"), and we consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other
applicable guidance issued by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). GAAP, as set forth within the ASC, requires us to make
certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates,
judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon
information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and
assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
periods presented. To the extent there are differences between these estimates,
judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be
affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates,
judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in
fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the
following:
•Inventory Valuation
•Revenue Recognition
•Income Taxes
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
our fiscal year ended July 3, 2021 provides a more complete discussion of our
critical accounting policies and estimates. There have been no significant
changes to these policies during the three months ended October 2, 2021.

Net Revenue
Net revenue decreased by $4.0 million, or 0.9%, during the three months ended
October 2, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020. This
decrease was due to $22.5 million lower OpComms revenue, partially offset by
increased sales of Lasers of $18.5 million.
OpComms net revenue decreased by $22.5 million, or 5.3%, during the three months
ended October 2, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020.
Within OpComms, Telecom and Datacom decreased by $45.3 million primarily a
result of continued material and component shortages and lower demand due to
continued delays in 5G deployments. Industrial and Consumer increased by
$22.8 million due primarily to seasonality and timing of customer product
releases, as well as an expansion of the available market as a result of an
increased dollar content of 3D sensing lasers and higher adoption rates of 3D
sensing in consumer electronic devices compared with the prior period.
Lasers net revenue increased by $18.5 million, or 77.4%, during the three months
ended October 2, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020,
primarily due to a return in customer demand for our kilowatt class fiber lasers
following the COVID-19 disruption in fiscal 2021.
During the three months ended October 2, 2021, our net revenue from a single
customer, which represented 10% or greater of total net revenue was concentrated
with one customer, who accounted for 41% of our total net revenue.
During the three months ended September 26, 2020, our net revenue from a single
customer, which represented 10% or greater of total net revenue was concentrated
with one customer, who accounted for 35% of our total net revenue.

Revenue by Region
We operate in three geographic regions: Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA. Net
revenue is assigned to the geographic region and country where our product is
initially shipped. For example, certain customers may request shipment of our
product to a contract manufacturer in one country; however, the location of the
end-customers may differ. The following table presents net revenue by the three
geographic regions we operate in and net revenue from countries within those
regions that represented 10% or more of our total net revenue (in millions,

For the three months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, net revenue
from customers outside the United States, based on customer shipping location,
represented 93.7% and 95.5% of net revenue, respectively.
Our net revenue is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, including our net
revenue from customers outside the United States as presented above. We expect
revenue from customers outside of the United States to continue to be an
important part of our overall net revenue and an increasing focus for net
revenue growth opportunities. However, regulatory and enforcement actions by the
United States and other governmental agencies, as well as changes in tax and
trade policies and tariffs, have impacted and may continue to impact net revenue
from customers outside the United States.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) "Other (charges) gains" of unallocated corporate items for the three months
ended October 2, 2021 primarily relate to $5.9 million gain as a result of
selling equipment that was no longer needed after we transferred certain product
lines to new production facilities in fiscal 2021. "Other (charges) gains" of
unallocated corporate items for the three months ended September 26, 2020
primarily include costs of $2.1 million of transferring certain product lines to
new production facilities and excess and obsolete inventory charges of
$5.9 million driven by U.S. trade restrictions and the related decline in demand
from Huawei.
The unallocated corporate items for the periods presented include the effects of
amortization of acquired developed technologies and other intangibles,
share-based compensation and certain other charges. We do not allocate these
items to the gross margin for each segment because management does not include
such information in measuring the performance of the operating segments.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the three months ended October 2, 2021 increased to 51.8% from
45.5% for the three months ended September 26, 2020. The increase was primarily
driven by higher gross margin from both OpComms and Lasers segment for the three
months ended October 2, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 26,
2020. The increase in gross margin during the three months ended October 2, 2021
as compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020 was also due to lower
excess and obsolescence charges.
We sell products in certain markets that are consolidating, undergoing product,
architectural and business model transitions, have high customer concentrations,
are highly competitive, are price sensitive and/or are affected by customer
seasonal and mix variant buying patterns. We expect these factors to continue to
result in variability of our gross margin.
Although the magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 on our business operations
remains uncertain and difficult to predict, and this remains a highly dynamic
situation, we have experienced, and we expect that we may continue to experience
disruptions to our and our customers' businesses that will adversely impact our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Segment Gross Margin
OpComms
OpComms gross margin for the three months ended October 2, 2021 increased to
55.6% from 52.5% for the three months ended September 26, 2020. The increase was
primarily due to a more profitable mix of products, including higher sales of
higher margin 3D sensing products and benefits from ongoing operational
improvements.
Lasers
Lasers gross margin for the three months ended October 2, 2021 increased to
49.1% from 43.5% for the three months ended September 26, 2020. This increase
was primarily due to the higher manufacturing levels related to the return in
customer demand for our kilowatt class fiber products, following the COVID-19
disruption in fiscal 2021.
Research and Development ("R&D")
R&D expense increased by $3.7 million, or 7.3%, for the three months ended
October 2, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020. The
increase in R&D expense was primarily driven by increased payroll and
compensation expenses due to additional headcount and increased costs in
supplies and tooling for R&D projects.
We believe that continuing our investments in R&D is critical to attaining our
strategic objectives. Despite the uncertainty related to COVID-19 and the global
economic outlook, we plan to continue to invest in R&D and new products that we
believe will further differentiate us in the marketplace and expect our
investment in R&D to increase in absolute dollars in future quarters.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")
SG&A expense increased by $7.0 million, or 12.4%, during the three months ended
October 2, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020. The
increase in SG&A expense was primarily attributable to increased payroll and
compensation expenses due to additional headcount and expenses incurred related
to optimizing our tax structure.
From time to time, we incur non-recurring expenses, such as mergers and
acquisition-related expenses, for example, those related to our pending
acquisition of NeoPhotonics, which will likely increase our SG&A expenses in the
near term and potentially impact our profitability expectations in any
particular quarter.

                                       38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Restructuring and Related Charges
We have initiated various strategic restructuring events primarily intended to
reduce costs, consolidate our operations, rationalize the manufacturing of our
products and align our business in response to market conditions.
During the three months ended October 2, 2021, we recorded a net reversal to our
restructuring and related charges of $1.1 million in our condensed consolidated
statements of operations which was attributable to lower than anticipated
employee severance charges primarily as a result of retaining and re-assigning
certain employees.
During the three months ended September 26, 2020, we did not record any
restructuring and related charges in our condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, we recorded
interest expense of $16.9 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The increase
was driven by the amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs of our
2024 Notes and 2026 Notes.
Other Income (Expense), Net
The components of other income (expense), net are as follows (in millions):
                                                        Three Months Ended
                                             October 2, 2021

     Foreign exchange gains (losses), net   $     (0.1)           $             (2.3)
     Interest and investment income                0.6                           2.4
     Other income (expense), net                   0.1                           0.5
     Total other income (expense), net      $      0.6            $              0.6


For the three months ended October 2, 2021, other income (expense), net remained
constant as compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020. During the
three months ended October 2, 2021, we recorded $2.2 million less in foreign
exchange losses as compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020 as a
result of more stable exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and certain foreign
currencies. The $1.8 million decrease in interest and investment income during
the three months ended October 2, 2021 as compared to the three months ended
September 26, 2020 is a result of our cash equivalent and investments acquired
before COVID-19 maturing and being reinvested at lower yielding investments,
while our average maturity and liquidity profile remained consistent.
Provision for Income Taxes
         (in millions)                             Three Months Ended
                                        October 2, 2021       September 26, 2020
         Provision for income taxes    $     18.1            $             16.5


We recorded a tax provision of $18.1 million and $16.5 million for the three
months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. Our tax
provision for the three months ended October 2, 2021 includes a discrete tax
expense of $1.1 million primarily related to return-to-provision differences.
Our estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 differs from the 21% U.S.
statutory rate primarily due to the income tax benefit from the earnings of our
foreign subsidiaries being taxed at rates that differ from the U.S. statutory
rate and U.S. federal R&D tax credits, partially offset by the income tax
expense from the tax effect of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), net
of benefit for foreign tax credits, subpart F inclusion and non-deductible
stock-based compensation.

Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of October 2, 2021 and July 3, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents of $611.0
million and $774.3 million, respectively, were largely held in the United
States. As of October 2, 2021 and July 3, 2021, our short-term investments of
$1,273.6 million and $1,171.7 million, respectively, were all held in the United
States. Cash equivalents and short-term investments are primarily comprised of
money market funds and US treasury securities. Our investment policy and
strategy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity
requirements.
                                       39
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The total amount of cash outside the United States held by the non-United States
entities as of October 2, 2021 was $185.3 million, which was primarily held by
entities incorporated in the United Kingdom, the British Virgin Islands, Japan,
Hong Kong, China, Canada and Thailand. Although the cash currently held in the
United States, as well as the cash generated in the United States from future
operations, is expected to cover our normal operating requirements, a
substantial amount of additional cash could be required for other purposes, such
as capital expenditures to support our business and growth, including costs
associated with increasing internal manufacturing capabilities, particularly in
our Thailand facility, strategic transactions and partnerships, and future
acquisitions.
Our intent is to indefinitely reinvest funds held outside the United States and,
except for the funds held in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands,
Japan and Hong Kong, our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate
them to fund our domestic operations. However, if in the future, we encounter a
significant need for liquidity domestically or at a particular location that we
cannot fulfill through borrowings, equity offerings, or other internal or
external sources, or the cost to bring back the money is not significant from a
tax perspective, we may determine that cash repatriations are necessary or
desirable. Repatriation could result in additional material taxes. These factors
may cause us to have an overall tax rate higher than other companies or higher
than our tax rates have been in the past. Additionally, if conditions warrant,
we may seek to obtain additional financing through debt or equity sources. To
the extent we issue additional shares, our existing stockholders may be diluted.
However, any such financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, or
may not be available at all.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Requirements
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of October 2, 2021 and cash
flows from our operating activities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and
capital spending requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, if
market conditions are favorable, we may evaluate alternatives to
opportunistically pursue additional financing.
There are a number of factors that could positively or negatively impact our
liquidity position, including:
•global economic conditions which affect demand for our products and services
and impact the financial stability of our suppliers and customers, including the
impact of COVID-19;
•fluctuations in demand for our products as a result of changes in regulations,
tariffs or other trade barriers, and trade relations in general;
•changes in accounts receivable, inventory or other operating assets and
liabilities, which affect our working capital;
•increase in capital expenditures to support our business and growth;
•the tendency of customers to delay payments or to negotiate favorable payment
terms to manage their own liquidity positions;
•timing of payments to our suppliers;
•volatility in fixed income and credit, which impact the liquidity and valuation
of our investment portfolios;
•volatility in foreign exchange markets, which impacts our financial results;
•investments or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or
technologies, or other strategic transactions or partnerships;
•issuance of debt or equity securities, or other financing transactions,
including bank debt;
•funding of pension liabilities either voluntarily or as required by law or
regulation;
•the settlement of any conversion or redemption of the 2024 Notes and the 2026
Notes in cash;
•common stock repurchases under the 2021 share buyback program;
•payment of tax obligations; and
•acquisitions, in particular our recently announced acquisition of NeoPhotonics
                                       40

The following table summarizes certain of our contractual obligations as of October 2, 2021, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years (in millions):

(1) The amounts of operating lease liabilities in the table above do not include
any sublease income amounts nor do they include payments for short-term leases
or variable lease payments. As of October 2, 2021, we expect to receive sublease
income of approximately $2.8 million over the next two years. Refer to "Note 7.
Leases" in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
(2) The amount in the preceding table represents planned contributions to our
defined benefit plans. Although additional future contributions will be
required, the amount and timing of these contributions will be affected by
actuarial assumptions, the actual rate of returns on plan assets, the level of
market interest rates, legislative changes, and the amount of voluntary
contributions to the plan. Any contributions for the following fiscal year and
later will depend on the value of the plan assets in the future and thus are
uncertain. As such, we have not included any amounts beyond one year in the
table above.
(3) Purchase obligations represent legally-binding commitments to purchase
inventory and other commitments made in the normal course of business to meet
operational requirements. Refer to "Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies" in
the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
(4) Includes principal and interest payment in cash on our 0.25% Convertible
Notes due in 2024 (the "2024 Notes") through March 2024, and principal and
interest on our 0.50% Convertible Notes due in 2026 (the "2026 Notes" and
together with the 2024 Notes, the "Notes") through December 2026. We have the
right to redeem the 2024 Notes and the 2026 Notes in whole or in part at any
time on or after March 15, 2024 and on or after December 15, 2026, respectively.
The principal balances of our Notes are reflected in the payment periods in the
table above based on their respective contractual maturities assuming no
conversion. Refer to "Note 9. Debt" in the notes to condensed consolidated
financial statements.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined in
rules promulgated by the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our liquidity or capital resources that are material
to investors.
Indebtedness
As of October 2, 2021, the debt component of our 2024 Notes of $395.8 million
(principal balance of $450.0 million maturing in 2024) is presented in current
liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet since our stock price
exceeded $78.80 for 20 of the last 30 trading days of the quarter ended
October 2, 2021 and the 2024 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders.
During the three months ended October 2, 2021, we received conversion requests
for less than $0.1 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes, which were
settled in cash in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
As of October 2, 2021, the debt component of our 2026 Notes of $800.0 million
(principal balance of $1,050.0 million maturing in 2026) is presented in
non-current liabilities. If the closing price of our stock exceeds $129.08 for
20 of the last 30 trading days of any future quarter, our 2026 Notes would also
become convertible at the option of the holders and the debt component would be
reclassified to current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
                                       41
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Share Buyback Program
On May 7, 2021, our board of directors approved the two year share buyback
program, which authorizes the repurchase of up to $700.0 million of our own
shares of common stock, in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions. In the fiscal first quarter of 2022, we repurchased 1.1 million
shares of our common stock at an average price of $82.45 per share for an
aggregate purchase price of $91.7 million.
Since the share buyback program was approved by the board of directors, we have
repurchased in aggregate, a total of 4.2 million shares of our common stock at
an average price of $79.05 per share for total proceeds of $332.7 million. All
repurchased shares were retired immediately. The price, timing, amount, and
method of such repurchases will be determined based on the valuation of market
conditions and other factors, at prices determined to be attractive and in the
best interests of both Lumentum and our stockholders.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of October 2, 2021, our other non-current liabilities also include $24.7
million of unrecognized tax benefit for uncertain tax positions. We are unable
to reliably estimate the timing of future payments related to uncertain tax
positions.
Cash Flows
As of October 2, 2021, our balance of cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$163.3 million, to $611.0 million from $774.3 million as of July 3, 2021. The
decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended October 2,
2021 was due to lower cash provided by operating activities of $61.9 million,
and higher cash used in investing activities of $116.9 million and financing
activities of $108.3 million, respectively.
Operating Cash Flow
Cash provided by operating activities was $61.9 million during the three months
ended October 2, 2021. Our net income was $81.5 million for the three months
ended October 2, 2021. Cash provided by operating activities was also generated
from $79.9 million of non-cash items (such as depreciation, stock-based
compensation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of debt discount and
debt issuance costs, and other non-cash charges), offset by $99.5 million of
changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Changes in our operating assets
and liabilities related primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $50.4
million and inventories of $10.3 million, offset by a decrease in income taxes,
net of $18.1 million, a decrease of accrued payroll and related expenses of
$11.4 million, and a decrease in accounts payable of $10.5 million.
Cash provided by operating activities was $104.7 million during the three months
ended September 26, 2020. Our net income was $67.1 million for the three months
ended September 26, 2020. Cash provided by operating activities was generated
primarily from $80.3 million of non-cash items (such as depreciation,
stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of debt
discount and debt issuance costs on our convertible notes, and other non-cash
charges), offset by $42.7 million of changes in our operating assets and
liabilities. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily
to an increase in accounts receivable of $30.3 million and inventories of $22.9
million, offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other current and
non-current liabilities of $16.3 million.
Investing Cash Flow
Cash used in investing activities of $116.9 million during the three months
ended October 2, 2021 was primarily attributable to purchases of short-term
investments, net of sales and maturities of $104.9 million, capital expenditures
of $17.9 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sales of property, plant
and equipment of $5.9 million.
Cash used in investing activities of $114.0 million during the three months
ended September 26, 2020 was primarily attributable to purchases of short-term
investments, net of sales and maturities of $88.2 million and capital
expenditures of $26.3 million.
Financing Cash Flow
Cash used in financing activities of $108.3 million during the three months
ended October 2, 2021 resulted primarily from the repurchase of shares of our
common stock of $91.7 million and tax payments related to restricted stock of
$16.6 million.
Cash used in financing activities of $19.2 million during the three months ended
September 26, 2020 resulted primarily from tax payments related to restricted
stock of $19.1 million.
