Viavi (VIAV) Beats Q1 Earnings Estimates on Record Revenues
Read MoreHide Full Article
Viavi Solutions Inc. (VIAV - Free Report) reported solid first-quarter fiscal 2022 (ended Oct 2, 2021) results, wherein both the bottom and the top lines beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Bottom Line
On a GAAP basis, net loss in the quarter was $54.8 million or a loss of 24 cents per share against a net income of $19.7 million or 8 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The deterioration was primarily due to higher operating and other expenses.
Non-GAAP net income was $58.2 million or 24 cents per share compared with $48.3 million or 21 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents.
Viavi Solutions Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Quarterly total revenues grew 14.8% year over year, despite supply chain challenges, to reach a record of $326.8 million. The top line surpassed the consensus estimate of $311 million.
The result reflects end-market strength in fiber, wireless, and cable products in NSE (Network and Service Enablement) and demand for anti-counterfeiting and 3D sensing products in OSP (Optical Security and Performance Products). Viavi expects the strong momentum in NSE to carry over into 2022.
Segment-wise, revenues from NE were up 26.4% from the year-ago quarter to $204.9 million driven by an increase in fiber, wireless, and cable products. SE revenues grew 7.5% to $23 million led by growth in assurance and data center products. OSP revenues decreased 2.3% year over year to $98.9 million.
Region-wise, Viavi generated 37.2% of total revenues from the Americas, 38.6% from the Asia Pacific, and 24.2% from EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa).
Cash Flow & Liquidity
During the fiscal first quarter, Viavi generated $53.4 million of cash from operating activities. As of Oct 2, 2021, the company had $915.6 million in cash and cash equivalents with $800.7 million of long-term debt.
Q2 Guidance
For the second quarter of fiscal 2022 (ending Jan 1, 2022), Viavi expects revenues in the range of 296-$310 million. Non-GAAP earnings are estimated in the band of 18-20 cents per share.
