ALHAMBRA, California - EMCORE Corporation (EMKR), a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components, subsystems, and systems for the fiber optics market, announced its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

 Financial Statement Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2014:

    Consolidated revenue was $43.7 million, representing a 1.9% decrease from the immediate preceding quarter
    Fiber Optics revenues increased 8.8% to $28.5 million, and Photovoltaics revenue decreased 17.1% to $15.3 million over the immediate preceding quarter
    Consolidated gross margin was 14.4%, a decrease from the 21.1% gross margin reported in the immediate preceding quarter
    On a segment basis, Fiber Optics gross margin decreased to 11.1% from the 16.4% gross margin reported in the immediate preceding quarter due to an excess and obsolete inventory reserve of $2.8 million and Photovoltaics gross margin decreased to 20.5% from the 27.7% gross margin reported in the immediate preceding quarter

    A deferred tax valuation allowance release of $24.1 million was recorded as an income tax benefit during the fourth quarter of 2014. We expect that substantially all of the $24.1 million benefit in deferred tax assets will be used in fiscal year 2015 when income tax expense is recorded in fiscal year 2015 as a result of the sale of the Photovoltaics business

Business Outlook

As previously announced, on December 10, 2014, we completed the sale of our Space Photovoltaics business to SolAero Technologies Corp. In addition, we previously announced on October 23, 2014 that we had agreed to sell certain assets and liabilities of our Telecommunications Fiber Optics business to NeoPhotonics Corporation (the "Digital Products Sale"). Following the completion of the Digital Products Sale, we will continue to operate our Broadband Fiber Optics business. The Company currently expects to complete the Digital Products Sale in early January 2015.

On a consolidated basis, we expect revenue for the remaining Broadband Fiber Optics business first quarter ended December 31, 2014 to be in the range of $17 to $19 million and non-GAAP net loss of approximately $1 to $2 million. These amounts do not include any financial amounts associated with the Photovoltaics Business or Digital Products Business for the first quarter. The Company expects that beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Broadband business will be the only reporting entity. As a reference, the revenue for the Broadband Fiber Optics business for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $14.3 million.
