II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The condensed consolidated financial statements of II-VI Incorporated (“II-VI” or the “Company”) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The June 30, 2015 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

Adopted Pronouncements

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowance, to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The classification change for all deferred taxes as noncurrent simplifies the Company’s processes as it eliminates the need to separately identify the net current and net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability in each jurisdiction and allocate valuation allowances. The Company has elected to prospectively adopt the accounting standard in the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of $13.3 million from current Deferred income tax assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015 to noncurrent Deferred income tax assets and $1.0 million from current Deferred income tax liabilities to noncurrent Deferred income tax liabilities. Prior periods in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements were not retrospectively adjusted.  

Pronouncements Currently Under Evaluation

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. This update requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The standard will be effective for the Company’s 2017 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This update simplifies the measurement of inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The new inventory measurement requirements will be effective for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year and will replace the current inventory valuation guidance that requires the use of a lower of cost or market framework. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This update provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. The update will be effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The update allows for the use of either a prospective or retrospective adoption approach. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  This ASU requires entities to present debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the corresponding debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance does not address situations in which debt issuance costs do not have an associated debt liability or exceed the carrying amount of the associated debt liability. The update will be effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

9

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which affects reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The update allows for the use of either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective adoption approach. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which supersedes virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The update's core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The update allows for the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective approach of adoption. On July 9, 2015 the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of the update. The update will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019). We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has an equity investment of 20.2% in Guangdong Fuxin Electronic Technology (“Fuxin”) based in Guangdong Province, China, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The total carrying value of the investment recorded at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 was $12.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively. During each of the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s pro-rata share of earnings from this investment was $0.2 million, and was $0.4 million and $0.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The components of inventories were as follows ($000):

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as part of the Company’s restructuring of its military related businesses in the Performance Products segment, the Company implemented a plan to sell one of its manufacturing facilities located in New Port Richey, Florida. The Company anticipates completing the sale within twelve months of the plan implementation, has reclassified the carrying value of the land and building of approximately $1.2 million as assets held for sale and has included the carrying value in Prepaid and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows ($000):

Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Management has evaluated goodwill for indicators of impairment and has concluded that there are no indicators of impairment as of December 31, 2015.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets other than goodwill as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 were as follows ($000):

Amortization expense recorded on the Company’s intangible assets was $3.0 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, and was $2.9 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively.  The technology and patents are being amortized over a range of 60 to 240 months, with a weighted average remaining life of approximately 104 months. The customer lists are being amortized over a range of approximately 120 to 240 months with a weighted average remaining life of approximately 135 months. The gross carrying amount of trademarks includes $14.2 million of acquired trade names with indefinite lives that are not amortized but tested annually for impairment or more frequently if a triggering event occurs. Included in the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets is the effect of foreign currency translation on that portion of the intangible assets relating to the Company’s German and Chinese subsidiaries.

At December 31, 2015, the estimated amortization expense for existing intangible assets for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows ($000):

11

The components of debt for the periods indicated were as follows ($000):

The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) provides for a revolving credit facility of $225 million, as well as a $100 million Term Loan. The Term Loan is being repaid in consecutive quarterly principal payments on the first business day of each January, April, July and October, with the first payment having commenced on October 1, 2013, as follows: (i) twenty consecutive quarterly installments of $5 million and (ii) a final installment of all remaining principal due and payable on the maturity date of September 10, 2018. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility are due and payable on the maturity date. The Credit Facility is unsecured, but is guaranteed by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company. The Company has the option to request an increase to the size of the Credit Facility in an aggregate additional amount not to exceed $100 million. The Credit Facility has a five-year term through September 10, 2018 and has an interest rate of either a Base Rate Option or a Euro-Rate Option, plus an Applicable Margin, as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facility. If the Base Rate option is selected for a borrowing, the Applicable Margin is 0.00% to 0.075% and if the Euro-Rate Option is selected for a borrowing, the Applicable Margin is 0.75% to 1.75%. The Applicable Margin is based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA. Additionally, the Credit Facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its Credit Facility.

The Company’s Yen denominated line of credit is a 500 million Yen (approximately $4.1 million) facility. The Yen line of credit was extended in September 2015 through August 2020 on substantially the same terms. The interest rate is equal to LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 0.625% to 1.50%. At each of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Company had 300 million Yen borrowed. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its Yen facility.

The Company had aggregate availability of $136.1 million and $116.6 million under its lines of credit as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The amounts available under the Company’s lines of credit are reduced by outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, total outstanding letters of credit supported by these credit facilities were $1.5 million.

The weighted average interest rate of total borrowings was 1.5% and 1.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Remaining annual principal payments under the Company’s existing credit facilities as of December 31, 2015 were as follows:

12

The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 18.3% and 16.4%, respectively. The variations between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% were primarily due to the consolidation of the Company’s foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates.  

U.S. GAAP clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Company’s gross unrecognized income tax benefit was $5.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as noncurrent income tax liabilities, as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. If recognized, substantially all of the gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2015 would impact the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the $5.1 million and $4.0 million of gross unrecognized income tax benefit at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively, was immaterial. Fiscal years 2012 to 2015 remain open to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2011 to 2015 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2008 to 2015 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company’s fiscal year 2011 and 2012 California state income tax returns are currently under examination by the state of California’s Franchise Tax Board. The Company’s fiscal year 2012 and 2013 German income tax returns are currently under examination by the Federal Central Tax Office in Germany.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share for the periods indicated. Weighted average shares issuable upon the exercises of stock options and the release of performance and restricted shares not included in the calculation because they were anti-dilutive totaled approximately 193,000 and 212,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, and 976,000 and 927,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively ($000 except per share data):

The Company reports its business segments using the “management approach” model for segment reporting. This means that the Company determines its reportable business segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker organizes business segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

The Company reports its financial results in the following three segments: (i) II-VI Laser Solutions, (ii) II-VI Photonics, and (iii) II-VI Performance Products, and the Company’s chief operating decision maker receives and reviews financial information based on these segments.  The Company evaluates business segment performance based upon segment operating income, which is defined as earnings before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. The segments are managed separately due to the market, production requirements and facilities unique to each segment.
