Management Commentary

John Croteau, MACOM's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "During the first quarter, our business performed as expected with revenue across Networks, Multi-market and Aerospace and Defense coming in essentially flat quarter-on-quarter.

Most notable, during the quarter we achieved a major milestone for the core MACOM business, reaching 60 percent adjusted gross margin excluding the impact of the two recent acquisitions. Our new, high-margin products have fueled the steady expansion of our gross margin and enabled us to achieve the target operating model we set for ourselves two years ago.”

Mr. Croteau concluded, "Comparing our second quarter guidance to our fiscal third quarter results six months ago, which included the automotive business that we divested last August, I’m proud to say that in five months we’ve replaced that revenue and EPS contribution and repositioned the company with higher quality revenue, faster growth and stronger earnings potential."

Business Outlook

For the fiscal second quarter ending April 1, 2016, MACOM expects revenue to be in the range of $128.0 million to $132.0 million. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be between 56 and 59 percent, and adjusted earnings per share between $0.42 and $0.45 on an anticipated 56.5 million diluted shares outstanding.
