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, which we refer to as OpComms, and 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 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.

OpComms

Our OpComms products address the following markets: Telecom, Datacom and Consumer and Industrial.



Our OpComms products include a wide range of components, modules and subsystems
to support customers including carrier networks for access (local), metro
(intracity), long-haul (city-to-city and worldwide) and submarine (undersea)
applications. Additionally, our products address enterprise, cloud, and data
center applications, including storage-access networks ("SANs"), local-area
networks ("LANs") and wide-area networks ("WANs"). These products enable the
transmission and transport of video, audio and data over high-capacity
fiber-optic cables. We maintain leading positions in these fast growing OpComms
markets through our extensive product portfolio, including reconfigurable
optical add/drop multiplexers ("ROADMs"), coherent dense wavelength division
multiplexing ("DWDM") pluggable transceivers, and tunable small form-factor
pluggable transceivers. We also sell laser chips for use in manufacturing of
high-speed Datacom transceivers. In the Consumer and Industrial market, our
OpComms products include laser light sources, which are integrated into 3D
sensing platforms being used in applications for mobile devices, gaming,
computers, and other consumer electronics devices. New emerging applications
include virtual and augmented reality, as well as automotive and industrial
segments. Our products include vertical cavity surface emitting lasers
("VCSELs") and edge emitting lasers which are used in 3D sensing depth imaging
systems. These systems simplify the way people interact with technology by
enabling the use of natural user interfaces. Systems are used for biometric
identification, surveillance, and process efficiency, among numerous other
application spaces. Emerging applications for this technology include various
mobile device applications, autonomous vehicles, self-navigating robotics and
drones in industrial applications and 3D capture of objects coupled with 3D
printing. In addition, our industrial diode lasers are used primarily as pump
sources for pulsed and kilowatt class fiber lasers.

                                       44

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

Our OpComms customers include Accelink, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Ciena, Cisco
Systems (including Acacia Communications, which was acquired by Cisco), Comcast,
Infinera, Nokia Networks (including Alcatel-Lucent International), and ZTE.

Lasers

Our Lasers products serve our customers in markets and applications such as sheet metal processing, general manufacturing, biotechnology, graphics and imaging, remote sensing, and precision machining such as drilling in printed circuit boards, wafer singulation, glass cutting and solar cell scribing.



Our Lasers products are used in a variety of OEM applications including
diode-pumped solid-state, fiber, diode, direct-diode and gas lasers such as
argon-ion and helium-neon lasers. Fiber lasers provide kW-class output powers
combined with excellent beam quality and are used in sheet metal processing and
metal welding applications. Diode-pumped solid-state lasers provide excellent
beam quality, low noise and exceptional reliability and are used in
biotechnology, graphics and imaging, remote sensing, materials processing and
precision machining applications. Diode and direct-diode lasers address a wide
variety of applications, including laser pumping, thermal exposure,
illumination, ophthalmology, image recording, printing, plastic welding and
selective soldering. Gas lasers such as argon-ion and helium-neon lasers provide
a stable, low-cost and reliable solution over a wide range of operating
conditions, making them well-suited for complex, high-resolution OEM
applications such as flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, graphics and imaging and
semiconductor inspection.

We also provide high-powered and ultrafast lasers for the industrial and
scientific markets. Manufacturers use high-power, ultrafast lasers to create
micro parts for consumer electronics and to process semiconductor, LED, and
other types of chips. Use of ultrafast lasers for micromachining applications is
being driven primarily by the increasing use of consumer electronics and
connected devices globally.

Our Lasers customers include Amada, ASM Pacific Technology, DISCO, KLA-Tencor,
Lasertec, Life Technologies, LPKF Laser & Electronics, Malvern Panalytical, and
MKS Instruments.

Mergers and Acquisitions

NeoPhotonics



On August 3, 2022 (the "Closing Date"), we completed our acquisition of
NeoPhotonics Corporation ("NeoPhotonics"). The addition of NeoPhotonics expands
our opportunity in some of the fastest growing markets for optical components
used in cloud and telecom network infrastructure. We expect the integrated
company to be better positioned to serve the needs of a global customer base who
are increasingly utilizing photonics to accelerate the shift to digital and
virtual approaches to work and life, the proliferation of IoT, 5G, and
next-generation mobile networks, and the transition to advanced cloud computing
architectures.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, on Closing Date, NeoPhotonics stockholders received $16.00 per share in cash for each of their NeoPhotonics shares for a total cash consideration of $867.3 million.



Prior to the Closing Date, as contemplated by the merger agreement, on January
14, 2022, entered into a credit agreement with NeoPhotonics, pursuant to which
we agreed to make term loans ("loans") to NeoPhotonics in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $50.0 million to help fund capital expenditures and
increased working capital associated with NeoPhotonics' growth plans. During
fiscal 2022, we funded a $30.0 million loan request to NeoPhotonics. On
August 1, 2022, we funded an additional $20.0 million loan request to
NeoPhotonics. The interest is payable monthly in arrears on the first day of
each month. The loans will mature on January 14, 2024 unless earlier repaid or
accelerated. The $50.0 million loans in aggregate were not settled as of the
Closing Date and therefore were considered part of the total purchase price in
connection with the merger.

During the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022, we incurred $8.4 million of
transaction costs related to our acquisition of NeoPhotonics, which are recorded
under selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement
of operations.

Please refer to "Note 4. Business Combination" to the consolidated financial statements.



Other Acquisition

On August 15, 2022, we completed a transaction to acquire a business that develops and markets products for use in telecommunications and datacenter infrastructure, including Digital Signal Processors (DSP's), ASICs and optical transceivers. This acquisition will help us to expand our business in our OpComms segment. Please refer to "Note 21. Subsequent Events" to the consolidated financial statements.



We evaluate strategic opportunities regularly and, where appropriate, may
acquire additional businesses, products, or technologies that are complementary
to, or broaden the markets for our products. We believe we have strengthened our
business model by expanding our addressable markets, customer base and
expertise, diversifying our product portfolio and fortifying our core businesses
from acquisitions as well as through organic initiatives.

Impact of COVID-19 to Our Business



Since February 2020, 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 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. The ultimate extent to which
COVID-19 will impact our business depends on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and very difficult to predict, including the effectiveness and
utilization of vaccines for COVID-19 and its variants, the severity of COVID-19
and its variants, and the effectiveness of the actions to contain or limit their
spread.

                                       46

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

From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we proactively implemented preventative
measures and protocols, which we continuously assess and update for changes in
conditions and emerging trends. Some of these measures have included 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, enhancing use of personal protective equipment and restricting
non-critical business travel by our employees, enacting vaccine and testing
mandates in certain jurisdictions, and implementing health and safety
enhancements. These measures are intended to safeguard our team members,
contractors, suppliers, customers, distributors, and communities, and to ensure
business continuity. Currently, our major production facilities in Europe, Asia,
and the United States remain open. At most of our locations, we have
transitioned from business continuity plans to return-to-office plans while
continuing to maintain high standards of employee safety and sanitization
protocols.

In the geographies where we have operations, we have, in general and where
applicable, 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.
However, the pandemic continues to affect our suppliers and manufacturers who
are experiencing component materials and labor shortages. Given the continually
evolving situation, particularly in light of the recent Delta and Omicron
variants, it is difficult to predict the magnitude and duration of the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic to our markets, its effects, 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 the future.

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 the importance of 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, please refer to the section titled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part I of this report.



Supply Chain Constraints

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 meet
demand and generate revenue from certain products in 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
continue in the near term as supplier and customer buffer inventories and safety
stocks are exhausted. Due to the global supply chain constraint, we have had to
incur incremental supply and procurement costs in order to increase our ability
to fulfill demands from our customers. These costs have increased our inventory
balances as of July 2, 2022 and may decrease our gross margin in the near term.
We expect component supply to be a challenge at least through the second quarter
of fiscal 2023. For more information on risks associated with supply chain
constraints, please refer to the section titled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of
Part I of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Our 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
•Business Combinations
•Goodwill

As a result of our Merger Agreement with NeoPhotonics, we added Business
Combinations and Goodwill to our critical accounting policies and estimates in
fiscal 2022. Please refer to "Note 4. Business Combination" to the consolidated
financial statements.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory is recorded at standard cost, which approximates actual cost computed
on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of net realizable value. We assess
the value of our inventory on a quarterly basis and write down those inventories
which are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted demand to the lower of their
cost or estimated net realizable value. Our estimates of forecasted demand are
based upon our analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, expected
product lifecycles, product development plans and historical usage by product.
Our product line management personnel play a key role in our excess review
process by providing updated sales forecasts, managing product transitions and
working with manufacturing to minimize excess inventory. If actual market
conditions are less favorable than our forecasts, or actual demand from our
customers is lower than our estimates, we may be required to record additional
inventory write-downs. If actual market conditions are more favorable than
anticipated, inventory previously written down may be sold, resulting in lower
cost of sales and higher income from operations than expected in that period.

Revenue Recognition

Pursuant to Topic 606, our revenues are recognized upon the application of the following steps:



•identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
•identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
•determination of the transaction price;
•allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the
contract; and
•recognition of revenues when, or as, the contractual performance obligations
are satisfied

The majority of our revenue comes from product sales, consisting of sales of
Lasers and OpComms hardware products to our customers. Our revenue contracts
generally include only one performance obligation. Revenues are recognized at a
point in time when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to
our customers upon shipment or delivery, in an amount that reflects the
consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or
services. We have entered into vendor managed inventory ("VMI") programs with
our customers. Under these arrangements, we receive purchase orders from our
customers, and the inventory is shipped to the VMI location upon receipt of the
purchase order. The customer then pulls the inventory from the VMI hub based on
its production needs. Revenue under VMI programs is recognized when control
transfers to the customer, which is generally once the customer pulls the
inventory from the hub.

                                       48

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

Revenue from all sales types is recognized at the transaction price. The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be
entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer,
adjusted for estimated variable consideration, if any. We typically estimate the
impact on the transaction price for discounts offered to the customer for early
payments on receivables or net of accruals for estimated sales returns. These
estimates are based on historical returns, analysis of credit memo data and
other known factors. Actual returns could differ from these estimates. We
allocate the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative
standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order
is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input that
depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and
concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by
us from a customer and deposited with the relevant government authority, are
excluded from revenue. Our revenue arrangements do not contain significant
financing components as our standard payment terms are less than one year.

If a customer pays consideration, or if we have a right to an amount of
consideration that is unconditional before we transfer a good or service to the
customer, those amounts are classified as deferred revenue or deposits received
from customers which are included in other current liabilities or other
long-term liabilities when the payment is made or when it is due, whichever is
earlier.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations



Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to
performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of the
end of the reporting period. Unsatisfied and partially unsatisfied performance
obligations consist of contract liabilities and non-cancellable backlog.
Non-cancellable backlog includes goods and services for which customer purchase
orders have been accepted that are scheduled or in the process of being
scheduled for shipment. A portion of our revenue arises from vendor-managed
inventory arrangements where the timing and volume of customer utilization is
difficult to predict.

Warranty

Hardware products regularly include warranties to the end customers such that
the product continues to function according to published specifications. We
typically offer a twelve-month warranty for most of our products. However, in
certain circumstances depending upon the product, specific market, product line
and geography in which we operate, and what is common in the industry, our
warranties can vary and range from six months to five years. These standard
warranties are assurance type warranties and do not offer any services in
addition to the assurance that the product will continue working as specified.
Therefore, warranties are not considered separate performance obligations in the
arrangement. Instead, the expected cost of the warranty is accrued as expense in
accordance with authoritative guidance.

We provide reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time
revenue is recognized. We estimate the costs of our warranty obligations based
on our historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to
repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in
correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty
accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise.

Shipping and Handling Costs

We record shipping and handling costs related to revenue transactions within cost of sales as a period cost.

Contract Costs



We recognize the incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which consist
of sales commissions, when control over the products they relate to transfers to
the customer. Applying the practical expedient, we recognize commissions as
expense when incurred, as the amortization period of the commission asset we
would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

Contract Balances



We record accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right to
consideration. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received
or due in advance of performance. Contract liabilities consist of advance
payments and deferred revenue, where we have unsatisfied performance
obligations. Contract liabilities are classified as deferred revenue and
customer deposits, and are included in other current liabilities within our
consolidated balance sheet. Payment terms vary by customer. The time between
invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

                                       49

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

The following table reflects the changes in contract balances as of July 2, 2022 (in millions, except percentages):



Contract balances               Balance sheet location              July 2, 2022           July 3, 2021          Change          Percentage Change

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate revenue by geography and by product. Please refer to "Note 20.
Revenue Recognition" to the consolidated financial statements for a presentation
of disaggregated revenue. We do not present other levels of disaggregation, such
as by type of products, customer, markets, contracts, duration of contracts,
timing of transfer of control and sales channels, as this information is not
used by our CODM to manage the business.

Income Taxes



In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, we
recognize income taxes using an asset and liability approach. This approach
requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax
returns. The measurement of current and deferred taxes is based on provisions of
the enacted tax law, and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are
not anticipated.

The authoritative guidance provides for recognition of deferred tax assets if
the realization of such deferred tax assets is more likely than not to occur
based on an evaluation of both positive and negative evidence and the relative
weight of the evidence. We consider future growth, forecasted earnings, future
taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate,
historical earnings, taxable income in prior years, if carryback is permitted
under the law, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining
the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we
would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the
future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be
charged to earnings in the period in which we make such a determination, or
goodwill would be adjusted at our final determination of the valuation allowance
related to an acquisition within the measurement period. If we later determine
that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be
realized, we would reverse the applicable portion of the previously provided
valuation allowance as an adjustment to earnings at such time.

We are subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities of the
jurisdictions in which we operate. The determination of our income tax
liabilities in each of these jurisdictions requires the interpretation and
application of complex, and sometimes uncertain, tax laws and regulations. The
authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes prescribes both
recognition and measurement criteria that must be met for the benefit of a tax
position to be recognized in the financial statements. If a tax position taken,
or expected to be taken, in a tax return does not meet such recognition or
measurement criteria, an unrecognized tax benefit liability is recorded. If we
ultimately determine that an unrecognized tax benefit liability is no longer
necessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit in the period in
which it is determined that the unrecognized tax benefit liability is no longer
necessary.

The recognition and measurement of current taxes payable or refundable and deferred tax assets and liabilities requires that we make certain estimates and judgments. Changes to these estimates or a change in judgment may have a material impact on our tax provision in a future period.


                                       50

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

Business Combinations



In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether
a transaction or event is a business combination, which requires that the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business
combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method. If the
assets acquired are not a business, we account for the transaction or event as
an asset acquisition. Under both methods, we recognize the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquired entity. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated
with asset acquisitions and immediately expense acquisition-related costs and
fees associated with business combinations.

We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets
acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration
over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as
goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, we make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect
to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets
include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from customer
relationships and acquired developed technology and discount rates. Our
estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable
using best information available. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and
unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ materially from
estimates. Certain estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may
change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed. Any change in facts and circumstances that existed as
of the acquisition date and impacts to our preliminary estimates is recorded to
goodwill if identified within the measurement period. Subsequent to the
measurement period or our final determination of fair value of assets and
liabilities, whichever is earlier, the adjustments will affect our earnings.

We estimate the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are
used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the
economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be
accelerated or slowed.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business
over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
We test goodwill impairment on an annual basis in the fiscal fourth quarter and
at any other time when events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of goodwill may not be recoverable.

We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it
is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The
qualitative factors we assess include long-term prospects of our performance,
share price trends and market capitalization, and Company specific events.
Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that affect the accuracy of our
assumptions, estimates and judgments. For example, if the price of our common
stock were to significantly decrease combined with other adverse changes in
market conditions, thus indicating that the underlying fair value of our
reporting units may have decreased, we may reassess the value of our goodwill in
the period such circumstances were identified.

If we determine that, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more
likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood) that the fair value of a
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we perform the quantitative
test by estimating the fair value of our reporting units. If the carrying value
of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we record goodwill impairment loss
equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill over
its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The fair value of
each of our goodwill reporting units is generally estimated using a combination
of public company multiples and discounted cash flow methodologies.

Net Revenue

Net revenue decreased by $30.2 million, or 1.7%, during fiscal 2022 as compared
to fiscal 2021, due to a $102.2 million decrease in OpComms revenue, partially
offset by a $72.0 million increase in Lasers revenue.

OpComms net revenue decreased by $102.2 million, or 6.3%, during fiscal 2022 as
compared to fiscal 2021. Within OpComms, Telecom and Datacom decreased by
$51.0 million primarily a result of continued material and component shortages
for our Telecom products, which impacted our ability to meet demand. Industrial
and Consumer decreased by $51.2 million primarily due to a decrease in average
selling price for our chips as a result of a smaller chips design.

Lasers net revenue increased by $72.0 million, or 59.0%, during fiscal 2022 as
compared to fiscal 2021, primarily due to a return in customer demand for our
kilowatt class fiber lasers following the recent recovery in industrial
production.

Net revenue increased by $64.2 million, or 3.8%, during fiscal 2021 as compared
to fiscal 2020. This increase was primarily due to a $105.6 million increase in
OpComms revenue, partially offset by a $41.4 million decrease in Lasers revenue.

OpComms net revenue increased by $105.6 million, or 7.0%, during fiscal 2021 as
compared to fiscal 2020. Within OpComms, sales of Industrial and Consumer
increased $67.7 million and Telecom and Datacom products increased by $37.9
million. The Industrial and Consumer increase was primarily driven by an
expansion of the available market due to an increased dollar content of 3D
sensing lasers and higher adoption rates of 3D sensing in consumer electronic
devices compared with the prior year. Telecom and Datacom increased by
$37.9 million primarily due to market growth and recovery from the impact of
COVID-19 supply constraints. Revenue from EML chips for datacenters increased by
more than $40.0 million in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. These increases,
along with growth in Transport product lines more than offset the $57.2 million
of lower sales from product lines we exited, such as Datacom transceiver modules
and certain Lithium Niobate product lines. These results also include a deferral
of $14.8 million of revenue due to delays in 5G deployments in China.

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

Lasers net revenue decreased by $41.4 million, or 25.3%, during fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020, primarily due to reduced customer demand for our kilowatt class fiber lasers as a result of COVID-19.

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 generally represented 10% or more of our total net revenue (in
millions, except for percentages):

States, based on customer shipping location, represented 89.8%, 92.3% and 91.1%
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 adversely impact
net revenue from customers outside the United States.

(1) In fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recorded inventory and fixed assets write
down charges of $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively,
related to the decision to exit the Datacom module and Lithium Niobate product
lines.

(2) Other (charges) gains of unallocated corporate items in fiscal 2022
primarily relate to $14.0 million of charges to acquire components from various
brokers to satisfy customer demand, offset by a $5.9 million gain from 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 fiscal 2021 relate to
costs of transferring product lines to new production facilities, including
Thailand, of $6.9 million, excess and obsolete inventory charges of $7.7 million
driven by U.S. trade restrictions and the related decline in demand from Huawei,
and fixed asset write-off of $5.0 million associated with excess capacity
related to our Fiber laser business.

Other (charges) gains of unallocated corporate items for fiscal 2020 primarily
include costs of transferring product lines to new production facilities,
including Thailand, of $11.5 million, excess and obsolete inventory charges of
$12.8 million driven by U.S. trade restrictions and the related decline in
demand from Huawei, and fixed asset write-off of $6.2 million associated with
excess capacity related to our Fiber laser business.

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 in fiscal 2022 increased to 46.0% from 44.9% in fiscal 2021, driven
by higher gross margin from the Lasers segment due to the higher manufacturing
levels and improved factory utilization as a result of return in customer demand
for our kilowatt class fiber products following the recent recovery in
industrial production. However, these improvements in gross margin were
partially offset by $14.0 million of charges to acquire components from various
brokers to satisfy customer demand.

Gross margin in fiscal 2021 increased to 44.9% from 38.7% in fiscal 2020, due to
both higher OpComms and Lasers segment gross margins. The increase was primarily
driven by a higher mix of higher margin product lines, particularly due to
increased revenue of 3D sensing, pump lasers and High-Reliability ("HiRel")
components products, which have higher than average margins.

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.

                                       55

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

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. Due to the global
supply chain constraint, we have had to incur incremental supply and procurement
costs in order to increase our ability to fulfill demands from our customers.
These costs have increased our inventory balances by $16.8 million as of July 2,
2022 and will decrease our gross margin in the near term.

Segment Gross Margin

OpComms

OpComms gross margin in fiscal 2022 remained relatively flat at 51.4% as compared to 51.2% in fiscal 2021.



OpComms gross margin in fiscal 2021 increased to 51.2% from 46.5% in fiscal
2020. The increase was primarily due to higher manufacturing volumes, a more
profitable mix of products, including higher sales of higher margin Datacom,
pump lasers, and HiRel components products. We also benefited from exiting lower
margin product lines, such as Datacom transceiver module and Lithium Niobate
modulator products, as well as from ongoing operational improvements.

Lasers



Lasers gross margin in fiscal 2022 increased to 52.6% from 46.9% in fiscal 2021.
The increase was primarily due to the higher manufacturing levels and improved
factory utilization as a result of return in customer demand for our kilowatt
class fiber products following the recent recovery in industrial production.

Lasers gross margin in fiscal 2021 increased to 46.9% from 46.6% in fiscal 2020.
This increase was primarily driven by the streamlining of our manufacturing
supply chain related to our kilowatt class fiber products over the past year,
offset by the impact of lower manufacturing levels related to COVID-19 reducing
customer demand for our kilowatt class fiber products.

Research and Development ("R&D")



R&D expense increased by $6.2 million, or 2.9%, in fiscal 2022 as compared to
fiscal 2021. The increase in R&D expense was primarily driven by a $4.1 million
increase in new product development activities in our factories, and a
$2.6 million increase in share-based compensation.

R&D expense increased by $15.9 million, or 8.0%, in fiscal 2021 as compared to
fiscal 2020. The increase in R&D expense was primarily due to an increase in
payroll related expense and stock-based compensation partially due to the
additional week in fiscal year 2021, partially offset by a decrease in R&D
materials, as well as a reduction in discretionary travel, primarily due to
COVID-19 restrictions.

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 $24.3 million, or 10.1%, in fiscal 2022 as compared to
fiscal 2021. The increase in SG&A expense for fiscal 2022 was primarily due to a
$13.9 million increase in outside services and professional fees related to the
NeoPhotonics acquisition and increased investments in information technology and
professional service fees for optimizing our international legal structure, as
well as a $6.0 million increase in share-based compensation primarily due to
increased employee headcount.

SG&A expense increased by $6.2 million, or 2.6%, in fiscal 2021 as compared to
fiscal 2020. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to an increase in
payroll related expense due to incremental headcount and additional week in
fiscal year 2021, an increase in stock-based compensation, and an increase in
legal expenses, offset by lower discretionary travel and trade shows, primarily
due to COVID-19 restrictions. In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2021, we sold land and building located in San Jose, California for
$23.0 million and recognized a $8.3 million gain in SG&A.

From time to time, we expect to incur non-recurring expenses, such as mergers
and acquisition-related expenses, which will likely increase our SG&A expenses
in the near term and potentially impact our profitability expectations in any
particular quarter.

                                       56

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

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 fiscal 2022, we recorded a net reversal to our restructuring and related
charges of $1.1 million, which was attributable to lower than anticipated
employee severance charges primarily as a result of retaining and re-assigning
certain employees.

During fiscal 2021, we recorded $7.7 million in restructuring and related
charges in our consolidated statements of operations. The charges were mainly
attributable to severance charges associated with the decision to move certain
manufacturing from San Jose, California, as well as other cost reduction
measures taken across the Company impacting all regions.

During fiscal 2020, we recorded $8.0 million in restructuring and related
charges in our consolidated statements of operations. The charges were mainly
attributable to severance charges associated with the decision to move certain
manufacturing from San Jose, California to our facility in Thailand.

Please refer to "Note 13. Restructuring and Related Charges" to the consolidated financial statements.

Merger Termination Fee and Related Costs, Net



On January 18, 2021, we entered into a merger agreement with Coherent, under
which we would acquire all outstanding shares of Coherent common stock. In March
2021, Coherent terminated the merger agreement and paid us a termination fee of
$217.6 million in accordance with the merger agreement. For the year ended July
3, 2021, we recorded $217.6 million gain related to the receipt of a termination
fee from Coherent in March 2021 as a result of the termination of our merger
agreement. This gain was offset by $10.1 million of Coherent acquisition related
charges and presented as "merger termination fee and related costs, net" in our
consolidated statements of operations for the year ended July 3, 2021.

Impairment Charges



In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we announced our plan to discontinue the
development and manufacturing of future Datacom transceiver modules which
impacted the California and China based Datacom module teams. As a result of
these actions, we recorded impairment charges of $4.3 million in fiscal 2020 to
our long-lived assets that were not deemed to be useful. While we expect strong
growth in Datacom volumes in the future, gross margins at the transceiver market
level are lower due to extreme competition.

We had no impairments in fiscal 2022 or fiscal 2021.

Interest Expense



The components of interest expense are as follows for the years presented (in
millions):

                                                           Years Ended
                                        July 2, 2022      July 3, 2021      June 27, 2020
            Interest expense           $       80.2      $       66.7      $         61.2


For fiscal 2022, we recorded interest expense of $80.2 million, driven by the
amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs of our Notes. The increase
in interest expense is primarily a result of issuing $861.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of 2028 Notes in March 2022.

For fiscal 2021, we recorded interest expense of $66.7 million related to the
amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs of our Notes. The increase
in interest expense during fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020 was mainly
driven by the increase in amortization of the debt discount and contractual
interest expense of our 2026 Notes issued in December 2019, partially offset by
a loss and decreased interest expense due to the early extinguishment of our
term loan facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

                                       57

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

Other Income (Expense), Net



The components of other income (expense), net are as follows for the years
presented (in millions):

                                                                    Years Ended
                                                 July 2, 2022      July 3, 2021      June 27, 2020

Foreign exchange gains (losses), net $ 6.1 $ (4.4) $ (1.4)


   Interest and investment income                        6.1               5.7                15.8
   Other income (expense), net                          (0.2)              1.5                17.0
   Total other income (expense), net            $       12.0      $        

2.8 $ 31.4




During fiscal 2022, other income (expense), net increased by $9.2 million as
compared to fiscal 2021, primarily due to $10.5 million more in foreign exchange
gains as a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar relative to other foreign
currencies, offset by $1.7 million decrease in other income.

During fiscal 2021, other income (expense), net decreased by $28.6 million as
compared to fiscal 2020, mainly driven by a gain on the sale of Lithium Niobate
modulators business of $13.8 million completed in fiscal 2020 and $10.1 million
decrease in interest and investment income due to lower returns from our
short-term investments at lower interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes:

                                                            Years Ended
       (in millions)                     July 2, 2022      July 3, 2021      June 27, 2020

       Provision for income taxes       $       36.2      $       65.8      $         38.8



Our tax provision for fiscal 2022 differs from the 21% U.S. statutory rate
primarily due to the income tax benefit from earnings of our foreign
subsidiaries being taxed at rates that differ from the U.S. statutory rate,
offset by the tax expense from U.S. income inclusions from Subpart F and GILTI.
Additionally, our provision for income taxes includes an income tax benefit from
various tax credits, offset by an income tax expense from non-deductible
stock-based compensation as well as change in valuation allowance because it is
not more-likely-than-not that certain deferred tax assets will be realizable in
the future.

Our provision for income taxes for fiscal 2021 differs from the 21% U.S.
statutory rate primarily due to the income tax benefit from earnings of our
foreign subsidiaries being taxed at rates that differ from the U.S. statutory
rate, which is offset by the tax expense from U.S. income inclusions from
Subpart F and GILTI. Further our provision for income taxes includes an income
tax benefit from various tax credits and non-U.S. statutory rate changes enacted
during the year, offset by an income tax expense from non-deductible stock-based
compensation as well as change in valuation allowance because it is not
more-likely-than-not that certain deferred tax assets will be realizable in the
future.

Our provision for income taxes for fiscal 2020 differs from the 21% U.S.
statutory rate primarily due to the income tax benefit of the earnings of our
foreign subsidiaries being taxed at rates that differ from the U.S. statutory
rate and certain tax credits, which is offset by the tax expense from U.S.
income inclusions from Subpart F and GILTI. Further our provision for income
taxes includes an income tax expense from changes in our valuation allowance
because it is not more-likely-than-not that certain deferred tax assets will be
realized in the future.

Subsequent to fiscal 2022, President Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science
Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. The new legislation provide tax incentives
as well as impose a 15% minimum tax on certain corporation's book income and a
1% excise tax on certain stock buybacks. We are evaluating the effect, if any,
of these new laws will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Defined Benefit Plans


                                       58

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

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans covering employees in Japan,
Switzerland, and Thailand. Pension plan benefits are based primarily on
participants' compensation and years of service credited as specified under the
terms of each country's plan. Employees are entitled to a lump sum benefit upon
retirement or upon certain instances of termination. The funding policy is
consistent with the local requirements of each country. As of July 2, 2022, a
defined benefit plan in Switzerland was partially funded, while defined benefit
plans in Japan and Thailand were unfunded. As of July 2, 2022, our projected
benefit obligations, net, in Japan, Switzerland, and Thailand were $2.6
million, $1.7 million, and $3.4 million, respectively. They were recorded in our
consolidated balance sheets as other non-current liabilities and represent the
total projected benefit obligation ("PBO") less the fair value of plan assets.

A key actuarial assumption in calculating the net periodic cost and the PBO is
the discount rate. Changes in the discount rate impact the interest cost
component of the net periodic benefit cost calculation and PBO due to the fact
that the PBO is calculated on a net present value basis. Decreases in the
discount rate will generally increase pre-tax cost, recognized expense and the
PBO. Increases in the discount rate tend to have the opposite effect. We
estimate a 100 basis point decrease or increase in the discount rate would cause
a corresponding increase or decrease of $2.8 million or $2.4 million,
respectively, in the PBO based upon data as of July 2, 2022.

We expect to contribute $1.4 million to our defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2023.



Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents of $1,290.2
million and $774.3 million, respectively, were largely held in the United
States. As of July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, our short-term investments of
$1,258.8 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, treasuries, agencies, high quality investment grade fixed
income securities, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. Our investment
policy and strategy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our
liquidity requirements.

The total amount of cash outside the United States held by the non-U.S. entities
as of July 2, 2022 was $216.1 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.

Beginning in fiscal 2023, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 requires taxpayers
to capitalize research and development expenditures and amortize domestic
expenditures over five years and foreign expenditures over fifteen years. This
will delay deductibility of these expenses and potentially increase the amount
of cash taxes we pay in the next several years.

Indebtedness



As of July 2, 2022, the debt component of our 2024 Notes of $409.9 million
(principal balance of $450 million maturing in 2024) is presented in short-term
liabilities since our stock price exceeded $78.80 for 20 of the last 30 trading
days of the quarter ended July 2, 2022 and the 2024 Notes are convertible at the
option of the holders. During the year ended July 2, 2022, we received
conversion requests of $1.8 million principal amount of the 2024 Notes, which we
settled with a combination of $1.8 million of cash and approximately 9 thousand
shares of the Company's stock in accordance with the applicable indenture.

                                       59

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

As of July 2, 2022, the debt component of our 2026 Notes of $831.4 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.

As of July 2, 2022, the debt component of our 2028 Notes of $634.7 million
(principal balance of $861.0 million maturing in 2028) is presented in
non-current liabilities. If the closing price of our stock exceeds $170.34 for
20 of the last 30 trading days in any fiscal quarter commencing after July 2,
2022, our 2028 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.

Share Repurchases

Repurchase Made in Connection with Convertible Note Offering



In fiscal 2022, concurrent with the issuance of the 2028 Notes, we repurchased
2.0 million shares of our common stock in privately negotiated transactions at
an average price of $99.0 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200.0
million. We recorded the $200.0 million aggregate purchase price as a reduction
of retained earnings within our condensed consolidated balance sheet. These
shares were retired immediately.

Share Buyback Program



On May 7, 2021, our board of directors approved the 2021 share buyback program,
which authorizes us to use up to $700.0 million to purchase our own shares of
common stock. The 2021 share buyback program was authorized for 2 years. On
March 3, 2022, our board of directors approved an increase in our share buyback
program, which authorizes us to use up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion to
purchase our own shares of common stock.

During fiscal 2022, we repurchased 4.0 million shares of our common stock as
part of the share buyback program at an average price of $87.21 per share for an
aggregate purchase price of $348.9 million. During fiscal 2021, we repurchased
3.1 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $77.84 per share
for an aggregate purchase price of $241.0 million. Since the share buyback
program was approved by the board of directors, we have repurchased 7.1 million
shares in aggregate at an average price of $83.12 per share for a total purchase
price of $589.8 million. We recorded the $589.8 million aggregate purchase price
as a reduction of retained earnings within our consolidated balance sheets. 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.

Contractual Obligations



The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of July 2, 2022,
and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash

(1) The amounts of operating lease liabilities do not include any sublease
income amounts nor do they include payments for short-term leases or variable
lease payments. As of July 2, 2022, we expect to receive sublease income of
approximately $2.4 million over the next year. Please refer to "Note 9. Leases"
to the consolidated financial statements.

(2) The amount of pension plan contributions 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. Please refer to "Note 17. Employee Retirement Plans" to the
consolidated financial statements.

(3) Purchase obligations represent legally-binding commitments to purchase inventory and other commitments made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. Please refer to "Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies" to the consolidated financial statements.



(4) The amounts related to convertible notes include principal and interest on
our 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2024 (the "2024 Notes"), principal and
interest on our 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2026 (the "2026 Notes"),
and principal and interest on our 0.50% Convertible Notes due in 2028 (the "2028
Notes", and together with the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes, the "Notes"). The 2024
Notes have a maturity date of March 15, 2024, the 2026 Notes have a maturity
date of December 15, 2026, and the 2028 Notes have a maturity date of June 15,
2028. The principal balances of our Notes are reflected in the payment periods
in the table above based on their respective contractual maturities assuming no
conversions. Please refer to "Note 11. Debt" to the consolidated financial
statements.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of July 2, 2022, our other non-current liabilities also include $30.5 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Requirements



We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of July 2, 2022, 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. Following the end of fiscal year
2022, we used approximately $867.3 million in cash from our balance sheet for
the acquisition of NeoPhotonics which closed on August 3, 2022. In addition,
because the term loans we provided to NeoPhotonics were not settled as of the
closing of the acquisition, the outstanding amounts of such loans were included
as part of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition.

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;
                                       61

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

•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, including increases in manufacturing capacity;

•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;

•possible 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;

•potential funding of pension liabilities either voluntarily or as required by law or regulation;

•other acquisitions or strategic transactions;

•the settlement of any conversion or redemption of the 2024 Notes, the 2026 Notes, and the 2028 Notes in cash, and

•common stock repurchases under 2021 share buyback program

Fiscal 2022



As of July 2, 2022, our consolidated balance of cash and cash equivalents
increased by $515.9 million, to $1,290.2 million from $774.3 million as of
July 3, 2021. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to cash
provided by operating activities of $459.3 million and financing activities of
$282.9 million, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $226.3
million during the year ended July 2, 2022.

Cash provided by operating activities was $459.3 million during the year ended
July 2, 2022, which reflects net income of $198.9 million and non-cash items
(such as depreciation, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles,
amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs on our Notes, and other
non-cash charges) of $351.0 million, partially offset by $90.6 million of
changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities of $226.3 million during the year ended July
2, 2022 was attributable to purchases of short-term investments, net of sales
and maturities of $111.5 million, capital expenditures of $91.2 million, and a
$30.0 million term loan provided to NeoPhotonics to support their on-going
growth plans through the anticipated merger completion, partially offset by
proceeds from the sales of property, plant and equipment of $6.4 million. The
term loan to NeoPhotonics is described in "Note 4. Business Combination" to the
consolidated financial statements.

Cash provided by financing activities of $282.9 million during the year ended
July 2, 2022, was primarily a result of proceeds from the issuance of the 2028
Notes, net of issuance costs of $854.1 million and proceeds from employee stock
plans of $13.5 million, partially offset by the repurchase of shares of our
common stock of $543.9 million, tax payments related to net share settlement of
restricted stock of $39.0 million, and $1.8 million to settle conversion
requests for the principal amount of the 2024 Notes.

Fiscal 2021



As of July 3, 2021, our consolidated balance of cash and cash equivalents
increased by $476.3 million, to $774.3 million from $298.0 million as of June
27, 2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to cash
provided by operating activities of $738.7 million and investing activities of
$1.0 million, offset by cash used in financing activities of $263.4 million
during the year ended July 3, 2021.

Cash provided by operating activities was $738.7 million during the year ended
July 3, 2021. Our net income was $397.3 million for the year ended July 3, 2021
and included the merger termination fee paid by Coherent, net of related costs
of $207.5 million. Cash provided by operating activities was also generated from
$339.9 million of non-cash items (such as depreciation, stock-based
compensation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of debt discount and
debt issuance costs on our Notes, and other non-cash charges), offset by $1.5
million of changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

                                       62

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

Cash provided by investing activities of $1.0 million during the year ended July
3, 2021 was primarily attributable to proceeds from maturities and sales of
short-term investment, net of purchases of $71.2 million and proceeds from sales
of product lines of $1.3 million and sales of property and equipment of $23.3
million. However, we had capital expenditures of $84.8 million and a payment for
an asset acquisition of $10.0 million.

Cash used in financing activities of $263.4 million during the year ended July
3, 2021, was primarily resulted from the repurchase of shares of our common
stock of $236.0 million and tax payments related to restricted stock of $39.7
million, offset by the proceeds from employee stock plans of $12.6 million.

Fiscal 2020



As of June 27, 2020, our consolidated balance of cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $134.6 million, to $298.0 million from $432.6 million as of June
29, 2019. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to cash used
in investing activities of $987.7 million, offset by cash provided by operating
activities of $524.3 million and cash provided by financing activities of $328.8
million during the year ended June 27, 2020.

Cash provided by operating activities of $524.3 million during the year ended
June 27, 2020, primarily resulted from $323.4 million of non-cash items (such as
depreciation, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles,
amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs on our term loan and the
Notes, and other non-cash items), net income of $135.5 million, and $65.4
million of changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities of $987.7 million during the year ended June
27, 2020, was primarily attributable to purchases of short-term investments, net
of sales and maturities of $917.8 million. In addition, we had capital
expenditures of $86.0 million, payment for asset acquisitions of $4.0 million,
offset by proceeds from sales of product lines of $20.1 million.

Cash provided by financing activities of $328.8 million during the year ended
June 27, 2020, primarily resulted from the proceeds of the issuance of the 2026
Notes of $1,042.2 million, net of issuance costs, offset by repayment of our
term loan facility of $497.5 million and the repurchase of shares of our common
stock of $200.0 million.
