Viavi Solutions (VIAV) Tops Q3 EPS by 1c

Viavi Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) reported Q3 EPS of $0.14, $0.01 better than the analyst estimate of $0.13. Revenue for the quarter came in at $265.2 million versus the consensus estimate of $275.81 million.

"Fiscal Q3 2020 revenue came in below our guidance range. The emerging COVID-19 pandemic was the principal driver behind the revenue shortfall. Despite that, through disciplined OPEX management, we managed to deliver the midpoint of our non-GAAP EPS guidance range, at 14 cents per share," said Oleg Khaykin, VIAVI's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The NSE business segment was most impacted by the COVID-19 headwinds, as our customers increasingly went into WFH and lockdown mode of operations and many purchase decisions were either pushed out or put on hold. The OSP business segment, on another hand, saw some late quarter customer order upsides and expedites, coming in above the revenue and non-GAAP operating margin guidance range."

Khaykin added, "VIAVI has a strong balance sheet with more than $530M in cash and a $300M line of credit. Strong liquidity position combined with many counter-cyclical businesses in our portfolio sets us up well to manage the near-term macroeconomic uncertainty. We remain positive on our long-term growth drivers in 5G Wireless, Fiber and 3D Sensing."
