Martinsried/Munich, Germany. July 23, 2015. ADVA Optical Networking (FSE: ADV;
Prime Standard Segment, TecDAX) announced Q2 2015 financial results for the
quarter ended on June 30, 2015 and prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Q2 2015 IFRS Financial Results
Revenues in Q2 2015 rose by 28.8% to a record high of EUR 112.3 million (prev.
year: EUR 87.2 million) and 17.4% sequentially (Q1 2015: EUR 95.6 million). This
result is at the upper end of the revised guidance provided on June 16, 2015 of
between EUR 109 million and EUR 113 million. Year-on-year, the increase is
primarily due to higher demand for carrier infrastructure and enterprise
solutions, most notably in the EMEA region. The quarter-on-quarter increase is
driven largely by investments in carrier infrastructure solutions across all
regions.
IFRS pro forma operating income in Q2 2015 increased significantly and came in
at EUR 7.7 million or 6.8% of revenues (prev. year: EUR 0.4 million or 0.5% of
revenues / Q1 2015: EUR 3.7 million or 3.9% of revenues), in line with the
revised guidance of between 6.0% and 7.5% of revenues. Both the year-on-year and
the quarter-on-quarter increases of pro forma operating income are largely due
to higher revenues.
The IFRS operating income rose to a solid EUR 7.4 million in Q2 2015 (prev.
year: EUR 38 thousand). The key driver for this improvement is the above-
mentioned increase of pro forma operating income.
IFRS net income in Q2 2015 was up substantially and amounted to EUR 5.1 million
(prev. year: EUR 3 thousand). Beyond the improvement of the operating income,
the effect was partly compensated by net foreign currency exchange losses of
EUR 1.6 million (prev. year: net foreign exchange gains of EUR 0.3 million) and
a tax expense of EUR 0.4 million (prev. year: tax expense of EUR 33 thousand).
Basic and diluted IFRS net earnings per share in Q2 2015 were EUR 0.11 each
(prev. year: nil each respectively).
"We continued the dynamic growth in the second quarter of 2015 with a
significant increase in revenue and earnings - above our original expectations.
Our Q2 2015 revenue level marks the sixth consecutive quarter with year-on-year
growth and represents the second sequential quarter with double-digit growth. We
delivered a solid and significantly improved operating profit - the highest
level in years. With our focus on operational excellence and continuous
improvements, we seized the momentum to grow our business profitably," commented
Ulrich Dopfer, CFO, ADVA Optical Networking.
Additional Key Data
The pro forma gross margin increased to 34.4% in Q2 2015 (prev. year: 32.8%) but
decreased sequentially (Q1 2015: 36.2%), mainly due to variations in product and
customer mix. As of June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents rose by 7.4% to
EUR 78.8 million and were EUR 5.4 million above the previous quarter (March
31, 2015: EUR 73.4 million). Net liquidity increased to EUR 47.5 million, up
EUR 7.0 million or 17.3% vs. the end of the previous quarter (March 31, 2015:
EUR 40.5 million).

Q3 2015 Outlook
In Q3 2015, ADVA Optical Networking expects revenues to range between EUR 120
million and EUR 125 million and anticipates a pro forma operating income of
between 5% and 8% of revenues. ADVA Optical Networking performs quarterly
reviews of the expected business development with respect to all intangible
assets, including capitalized development expenses. In case of adverse business
prospects, these reviews may result in non-cash impairment charges in Q3 2015
and beyond which are excluded from the above guidance. The Company will publish
its Q3 2015 financial results on October 22, 2015.
"Our strategy to aggressively invest in game-changing innovation in the right
markets is manifesting itself in ADVA Optical Networking's dramatic top-line
growth. Our focus on cloud and mobility is rapidly paying off. With Internet
Content Providers (ICPs) and Communication Service Providers (CSPs) driving a
fundamental shift in the Data Center Interconnect (DCI) landscape, ADVA Optical
Networking is positioned well. We are benefiting from our relentless effort to
deliver the most advanced and state-of-the-art technology for our broad customer
base and strategic partners as evidenced by the recent launch of our all-new DCI
solution. The ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect(TM) has been jointly engineered with
leading ICPs and CSPs and represents an industry first. Our thought leadership
will create further value for shareholders," stated Brian Protiva, CEO, ADVA
Optical Networking.
