Revenues steady; GAAP net loss reduced; non-GAAP income rises; Commercial Laser and Optical Communication sectors show improvements.

JDSU has reported results for its fiscal 2007 first quarter ended September 30, 2006. The company executed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split on October 16, 2006, so all earnings per share calculations were presented on a split-adjusted basis.

Net revenue for Q1 2007 was $318.1 million and GAAP net loss was $(17.4) million. This compares to net revenue of $318.2 million and GAAP net loss of $(45.8)  million, reported for Q4 2006, and to net revenue of $258.3 million and a GAAP net loss of $(67.0) million, for Q1 2006.

On a non-GAAP basis, revenue for the first quarter was $318.2 million and net income was $6.8 million. This compares to non-GAAP net revenue of $318.6 million and a non-GAAP net loss of $(2.1)  million, for Q4 2006, and to non-GAAP net revenue of $259.2 million and a non-GAAP net loss of $(15.4)  million, for Q1 2006.

On a non-GAAP EBITDA basis, the company earned $9.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, which compares to $5.5 million for Q4 2006, and to a loss of $(4.3)  million for the Q1 2006.

"The achievement of positive earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis for the first time in more than five years marks another significant milestone on the company's journey to sustained profitability" said Kevin Kennedy, JDSU's CEO.
