Lumentum Announces Fiscal First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
On November 8, 2022, Lumentum Holdings reported results for its fiscal first quarter ended October 1, 2022. Lumentum reported Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.69 versus the consensus estimate of $1.56. The company reported Q1 revenue of $506.8M versus the consensus estimate of $503.57M.
“Solid execution drove first quarter revenue above the midpoint of our guidance, earnings per share to the high end of our range, and operating margin above guidance,” said Alan Lowe, President and CEO. “Demand is robust from our Telecom and Industrial Lasers customers. Looking forward, and consistent with industry trends, supply of specific IC components has not materialized as quickly as expected, and we now expect these shortages to continue into our fiscal 2024. Also, our near-term Datacom and 3D sensing outlook is lower than our prior projections.” Lowe added, “The closing of our two announced acquisitions in the first quarter position us to accelerate long-term technology trends in advanced networking hardware and adjacent markets, and expand our share in the growing telecom infrastructure market. Since closing these acquisitions, we have even higher confidence in accomplishing our goals. We look forward to sharing more on our progress in the coming quarters.”
