“The all-around record quarterly financial results we achieved in Q2 represent a positive and significant inflection point in the 8 year history of GigOptix, going back to our inception in July 2007. We delivered our first quarter of GAAP profitability, free of non-recurring items, and the highest ever non-GAAP profitability and Adjusted EBITDA. This record performance clearly shows the success we continue to achieve with our global growth and scalable strategy,” said Dr. Avi Katz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GigOptix, Inc. “Increasing customer demand across all our product lines for our ever-growing and innovative product portfolio is driving our continued revenue growth. In particular, we are seeing strong pull in our high-speed communications (HSC) business in both datacom, with our 40Gbps and 100Gbps drivers and TIAs for data center active optical cables (AOC) and transceivers, and in telecom, with our linear-coherent 100Gbps and 200Gbps devices used for both long-haul and metro applications. In addition, in our Industrial product line we are experiencing several new business opportunities that are driving continuous revenue growth. The combination of higher revenue, better margins and on-going strict expense controls translated into our record profitability this quarter.”

Financial Outlook

“We expect third quarter fiscal 2015 revenue to be approximately $10.3 million, which would be the highest quarterly revenue in GigOptix’s history, while maintaining the consistent high-level of profitability. The projected third quarter revenue would represent a continuous increase of about 5 percent compared with Q2, and 21 percent compared with the same quarter a year ago,” said Dr. Katz. “In addition, we are raising our initial revenue guidance for fiscal 2015 from about $37.5 million to at least $39 million, consistent with our pre-announcement on June 29, 2015. This current revenue forecast represents a year-over-year increase of approximately 20 percent compared with revenue of $32.9 million in fiscal year 2014. Overall, we expect 2015 to yield the highest annual revenue, best profitability and largest cash generation from operations in our history.”
