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 nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 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 nine months ended March 31, 2016 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 March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification in the statement of cash flows. The standard will be effective for the Company’s 2017 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. 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 February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires that a lessee recognize leased assets with terms greater than 12 months on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The standard will be effective for the Company’s 2019 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

9

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 the Company’s 2017 fiscal year. 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 update will be effective for the Company’s 2017 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 the Company’s 2017 fiscal year. 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 the Company’s  2019 fiscal year. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

EpiWorks, Inc.

In February 2016, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of EpiWorks, Inc. (“EpiWorks”) a privately held company based in Illinois. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the consideration consisted of initial cash paid at the acquisition date of $43.0 million, net of cash acquired and a working capital adjustment of $0.2 million. In addition, the agreement provides up to a maximum of $6.0 million of additional cash earnout opportunities based upon EpiWorks achieving certain agreed upon financial and operational targets for capacity, wafer output and gross margin, which if earned would be payable $2.0 million for the achievement of each specific target over the next three years. EpiWorks develops and manufactures compound semiconductor epitaxial wafers for applications in optical components, wireless devices and high-speed communication systems. EpiWorks is a business unit of the Company’s II-VI Laser Solutions operating segment for financial reporting purposes. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the Company is still in the process of completing its fair market valuation, including the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets, earnout opportunities, as well as deferred income taxes.

The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition ($000):

In March 2016, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANAD) (“ANADIGICS”) a publicly traded company based in New Jersey. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the consideration consisted of cash paid at the acquisition date of $75.5 million, net of cash acquired of $2.7 million. ANADIGICS has a 6-inch gallium arsenide wafer fabrication capability allowing for the production of high performance lasers and integrated circuits in high volume.  In addition, ANADIGICS designs and manufactures innovative radio frequency (RF) solutions for CATV infrastructure, small-cell, WIFI and cellular markets. ANADIGICS is a business unit of the Company’s II-VI Laser Solutions operating segment for financial reporting purposes. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the Company is still in the process of completing its fair market valuation, including the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets as well as deferred income taxes.

The amount of revenues and net loss of ANADIGICS included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings were $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016.

Deferred Income Taxes

In connection with above acquisitions, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $29.0 million against the U.S. net deferred income tax assets as part of the preliminary purchase price allocation.  The Company’s policy is to allocate the available sources of future taxable income first to the Company’s existing deferred tax assets before considering acquired deferred tax assets.

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared as if the acquisitions of EpiWorks and ANADIGICS had occurred on July 1, 2014, the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2015, which is the fiscal year prior to the acquisitions. As a result, certain transaction related expenses of $2.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, (net of tax) recorded in Selling, general and administrative in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 were only included in the earliest period presented below ($000 except per share data).

12

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the transactions had occurred as described above. The pro forma results are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect any cost savings that might be achieved from the combined operations.

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 March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was $12.6 million and $11.9 million, respectively. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s pro-rata share of earnings from this investment was $0.2 million, and was $0.6 million and $0.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016, the Company’s one year timeframe to sell its manufacturing facility in New Port Ritchey, Florida under U.S. GAAP accounting for assets held for sale expired. The Company reclassified the carrying value of the land and building of approximately $1.2 million from Prepaid and other current assets to Property, plant and equipment in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2016. The Company cumulatively adjusted suspended depreciation for the period in which the asset was classified as held for sale. The depreciation adjustment was insignificant.

13

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 March 31, 2016.

In connection with the acquisitions of EpiWorks and ANADIGICS in February 2016 and March 2016, respectively, the Company recorded the excess purchase price over the net assets of the businesses acquired as goodwill in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet based on preliminary purchase price allocations.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets other than goodwill as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows ($000):

In conjunction with the acquisitions of EpiWorks and ANADIGICS, the Company recorded $10.3 million of technology and patents, $32.8 million of customer lists, and $ 0.3 million of trademarks. The intangibles were recorded based on the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation which is expected to be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition.

Amortization expense recorded on the Company’s intangible assets was $3.2 million and $9.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and was $3.0 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.  The technology and patents are being amortized over a range of 60 to 240 months, with a weighted average remaining life of approximately 106 months. The customer lists are being amortized over a range of approximately 120 to 240 months with a weighted average remaining life of approximately 167 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.

14

At March 31, 2016, the estimated amortization expense for existing intangible assets for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows ($000):

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 revolving 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 March 31, 2016, 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 $4.5 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 March 31, 2016 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 March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its Yen facility.

The Company had aggregate availability of $15.4 million and $116.6 million under its lines of credit as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The amounts available under the Company’s lines of credit are reduced by outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, total outstanding letters of credit supported by these credit facilities were $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

The weighted average interest rate of total borrowings was 1.6% and 1.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

15

Remaining annual principal payments under the Company’s existing credit facilities as of March 31, 2016 were as follows:

The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at March 31, 2016 and 2015 was 17.1% and 13.6%, 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 March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Company’s gross unrecognized income tax benefit was $4.6 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 March 31, 2016 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 $4.6 million and $4.0 million of gross unrecognized income tax benefit at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively, was immaterial. Fiscal years 2013 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 are not included in the calculation because they were anti-dilutive totaled approximately 109,000 and 178,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and 334,000 and 729,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, 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.

The II-VI Laser Solutions segment is located in the U.S., Singapore, China, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Belgium, the U.K., Italy, South Korea and the Philippines. II-VI Laser Solutions is directed by the President of II-VI Laser Solutions, while each geographic location is directed by a general manager, and is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. II-VI Laser Solutions designs, manufactures and markets optical and electro-optical components and materials sold under the II-VI Infrared brand name and used primarily in high-power CO₂ lasers, fiber-delivered beam delivery systems and processing tools and direct diode lasers for industrial lasers sold under the II-VI HIGHYAG and II-VI Laser Enterprise brand names. II-VI Laser Solutions also manufactures compound semiconductor epitaxial wafers for applications in optical components, wireless devices, and high-speed communication systems and manufactures 6-inch gallium arsenide wafers allowing for the production of high performance lasers and integrated circuits in high volume sold under the EpiWorks and ANADIGICS brand names.  

The II-VI Photonics segment is located in the U.S., China, Vietnam, Germany, Japan, the U.K., Italy and Hong Kong. II-VI Photonics is directed by the President of II-VI Photonics and is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. II-VI Photonics manufactures crystal materials, optics, microchip lasers and opto-electronic modules for use in optical communication networks and other diverse consumer and commercial applications.  In addition, the segment also manufactures pump lasers, optical amplifiers and micro-optics for optical amplifiers for both terrestrial and submarine applications within the optical communications market.

The II-VI Performance Products segment is located in the U.S., Vietnam, Japan, China, Germany and the Philippines. II-VI Performance Products is directed by the President of II-VI Performance Products, while each geographic location is directed by a general manager. II-VI Performance Products is further divided into production and administrative units that are directed by managers. II-VI Performance Products designs, manufactures and markets infrared optical components and high-precision optical assemblies for military, medical and commercial laser imaging applications.  In addition, the segment designs, manufactures and markets unique engineered materials for thermo-electric and silicon carbide applications servicing the semiconductor, military and medical markets.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company. The Company’s corporate expenses are allocated to the segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based upon reported segment operating income, which is defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. Inter-segment sales and transfers are eliminated.

On February 1, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of EpiWorks. On March 15, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of ANADIGICS. See Note 3. Acquisitions. The operating results of these acquisitions have been reflected in the selected financial information of the Company’s II-VI Laser Solutions segment since the respective dates of acquisition.
