Ccustomer inventory adjustments led to an order shortfall for CATV business, says CEO

Jeffrey Rittichier, Emcore's president and CEO commented: "Despite solid continued MSO capital expenditures, customer inventory adjustments led to an order shortfall this quarter for our cable TV business. However, we saw good design win traction with our LEML products, an uptick in demand from our other CATV customers and good performance in line with our expectations in our Chip and Navigation businesses."

GAAP operating margin was (21.1) percent, representing a decrease from (3.4) percent in the prior quarter, non-GAAP operating margin was (12.0) percent, representing a decrease from 2.5 percent in the prior quarter

GAAP diluted pre-tax EPS from continuing operations of $(0.12), representing a decrease from $(0.02) in the prior quarter, non-GAAP diluted pre-tax EPS from continuing operations of $(0.08), representing a decrease from $0.03 in the prior quarter

Outlook

The Company expects revenue for the fiscal third quarter ending June 30, 2018 to be in the range of $17 to $19 million.
