NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The financial information for JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU,” also referred to as “the Company”) as of December 27, 2014 and for the three and six months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 is unaudited, and includes all normal and recurring adjustments Company management (“Management”) considers necessary for a fair statement of the financial information set forth herein, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2014.

The balance sheet as of June 28, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The results for the three and six months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 may not be indicative of results for the year ending June 27, 2015 or any future periods.

Fiscal Years

The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30th. The Company’s fiscal 2015 is a 52-week year ending on June 27, 2015. The Company’s fiscal 2014 was a 52-week year ending on June 28, 2014.

Change in Reportable Segments

During the first quarter of fiscal 2015 the Company reorganized its Network Service and Enablement (“NSE”) reportable segment into two separate reportable segments: Network Enablement (“NE”) and Service Enablement (“SE”). This change does not impact previously reported consolidated financial information. However, historical information related to the NSE reportable segment has been recast to reflect the new NE and SE reportable segment structure. Refer to “Note 16. Operating Segments” for more information.

JDSU Separation

On September 10, 2014, the Company announced plans to separate into two publicly traded companies to be named at a later date: an optical components and commercial lasers company consisting of JDSU’s current Communications and Commercial Optical Products (“CCOP”) segment, and a network and service enablement company consisting of JDSU’s current Network Enablement (“NE”), Service Enablement (“SE”) and Optical Security and Performance Products (“OSP”) segments. The separation is expected to occur through a tax-free pro rata spinoff of CCOP to JDSU shareholders, though the structure is subject to change based upon various tax and regulatory factors. The Company expects to complete the separation by the third calendar quarter of 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of net revenue and expenses and the disclosure of commitments and contingencies during the reporting periods. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions about the future believed to be reasonable based on available information. The Company’s reported financial position or results of operations may be materially different under changed conditions or when using different estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to significant accounting policies. If estimates or assumptions differ from actual results, subsequent periods are adjusted to reflect more current information.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new authoritative guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance will replace current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This guidance allows for two methods of adoption: (a) full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied to all periods presented, or (b) modified retrospective adoption, meaning the cumulative effect of applying this guidance is recognized as an adjustment to the fiscal 2018 opening Accumulated deficit balance. The Company is evaluating the two adoption methods as well as the impact this new guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance, which specifies that only disposals, such as a disposal of a major line of business, representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and may apply to the treatment of the proposed tax-free spinoff of the CCOP business expected to be completed by the third calendar quarter of 2015 (the first quarter of fiscal 2016). Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There is an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

The Company’s cash and investment instruments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. As of June 28, 2014 and during the three and six months ended December 27, 2014, the Company held no Level 3 investments.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company has foreign subsidiaries that operate and sell the Company’s products in various markets around the world. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments to manage foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables and to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows related to foreign-currency transactions.

The forward contracts, most with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near quarter end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts as of both December 27, 2014 and June 28, 2014 is not significant. The change in the fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Interest and other income (expense), net.

Note 8. Goodwill

Balance as of December 27, 2014	$	154.7		$	92.9		$	5.4		$	8.3	$	261.3

(1) In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company reorganized its NSE reportable segment into two separate reportable segments, NE and SE. The goodwill of NSE was allocated between the two new segments based on their relative fair value as of June 29, 2014, the first day of fiscal 2015. The Company determined that based on its cash flow structure, organizational structure and the financial information provided to and reviewed by Management, NE and SE also represented new reporting units for fiscal 2015. Refer to “Note. 16. Operating Segments” for more information.

(2) The goodwill balance as of December 27, 2014 for the CCOP segment relates to the acquisition of Time-Bandwidth and has been allocated to the Lasers reporting unit.

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company completed the annual impairment test of goodwill with no goodwill impairments indicated.

As the Company reorganized its NSE segment into two reportable segments during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the goodwill allocated to the new NE and SE reporting units was reviewed under the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test in accordance with the authoritative guidance. Under the first step of the authoritative guidance for impairment testing, the fair value of the new reporting units was determined based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices. Based on the first step of the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of each reporting unit is significantly above its carrying amount. As such, the Company was not required to perform step two of the analysis on the new reporting units to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The Company recorded no impairment charge as a result of the interim period impairment test performed during the three months ended September 27, 2014. There were no events or changes in circumstances which triggered impairment review for any of the reporting units during the three and six months ended December 27, 2014.

(1) Included in Additional paid-in-capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and held no short-term debt as of December 27, 2014 and June 28, 2014, respectively.

0.625% Senior Convertible Notes

On August 21, 2013, the Company issued $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from the 2033 Notes amounted to $636.3 million after issuance costs. The 2033 Notes are an unsecured obligation of the Company and bear interest at an annual rate of 0.625% payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2033 Notes mature on August 15, 2033 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2033 Notes and its terms are described in “Note 10. Debts and Letters of Credit” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2014. During the six months ended December 27, 2014, the price of the Company’s common stock did not exceed the initial conversion price of $18.83 per share and no conversion features were triggered.

In accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance, the Company separated the 2033 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying value of the liability component at issuance was calculated as the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 5.4% based on the 5-year swap rate plus credit spread as of the issuance date. The credit spread for the Company is based on the historical average “yield to worst” rate for BB rated issuers. The difference between the 2033 Notes principal and the carrying value of the liability component, representing the value of conversion premium assigned to the equity component, was recorded as a debt discount on the issuance date and is being accreted using the effective interest rate of 5.4% over the period from the issuance date through August 15, 2018 as a non-cash charge to interest expense. The carrying value of the liability component was determined to be $515.6 million, and the equity component, or debt discount, of the 2033 Notes was determined to be $134.4 million. As of December 27, 2014, the expected remaining term of the 2033 Notes is 3.6 years.

In connection with the issuance of the 2033 Notes, the Company incurred $13.7 million of issuance costs, which were bifurcated into the debt issuance costs, attributable to the liability component of $10.9 million and the equity issuance costs, attributable to the equity component of $2.8 million based on their relative values. The debt issuance costs were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method from issuance date through August 15, 2018. The equity issuance costs were netted against the equity component in additional paid-in capital at the issuance date. As of December 27, 2014, the unamortized portion of the debt issuance costs related to the 2033 Notes was $8.2 million, which was included in Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Based on quoted market prices as of December 27, 2014 and June 28, 2014, the fair market value of the 2033 Notes was approximately $685.5 million and $653.0 million, respectively. The 2033 Notes are classified within Level 2 as they are not actively traded in markets.

The income tax benefit and expense recorded differs from the expected tax expense or benefit that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s income or loss before income taxes primarily due to the increases in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to the Company’s domestic and foreign losses from continuing operations, due to the income tax benefit recorded in continuing operations under the income tax intraperiod tax allocation rules, and the recognition of the unrecognized tax benefits.

As of December 27, 2014 and June 28, 2014, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $58.4 million and $60.3 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net.

Approximately $1.8 million of stock-based compensation was capitalized in inventory at December 27, 2014.

Full Value Awards

“Full Value Awards” refer to RSUs and Performance Units that are granted with the exercise price equal to zero and are converted to shares immediately upon vesting. These Full Value Awards are performance-based, time-based or a combination of both and expected to vest over one year to four years. The fair value of the time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award.

During the six months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company granted 5.2 million and 4.9 million RSUs, of which 0.7 million and 0.6 million, respectively, are RSUs with market conditions (“MSUs”). These MSU shares represent the target amount of grants, and the actual number of shares awarded upon vesting of the MSUs may be higher or lower depending upon the achievement of the relevant market conditions. The majority of MSUs vest in equal annual installments over three years based on the attainment of certain total shareholder return performance measures and the employee’s continued service through the vest date. The aggregate grant-date fair value of MSUs granted during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was estimated to be $8.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively, and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The remaining 4.5 million and 4.3 million granted during the six months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 are mainly time-based RSUs. The majority of these time-based RSUs vest over three years, with 33% vesting after one year and the balance vesting quarterly over the remaining two years.

As of December 27, 2014, $95.9 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to Full Value Awards remains to be amortized. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated amortization period of 2.2 years.

Full Value Awards are converted into shares upon vesting. Shares equivalent in value to the minimum withholding taxes liability on the vested shares are withheld by the Company for the payment of such taxes. During the six months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company paid $11.9 million and $14.4 million, respectively, and classified the payments as operating cash outflows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Impact on Stock-based Compensation Due to Amendments of the Change of Control Benefits Plan

During the six months ended December 27, 2014, the Company amended its Change of Control Benefits Plan (the “Plan”) to add a spin-off of certain Company assets to the circumstances that could trigger benefits under the Plan as well as other revisions. In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee approved the separation of certain executives. Pursuant to the Plan, all unvested equity awards that have been granted or issued to certain executives terminated shall become immediately and completely vested and stock options shall become fully exercisable with an extended exercise period of two years from the termination date.

The amendments resulted in a modification of equity awards for certain executives and total incremental stock-based compensation of $5.6 million, which is being amortized over the period between the modification date and the expected termination dates of the executives. The Company recognized $1.7 million of stock-based compensation resulting from the modification in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimates the fair value of the MSUs on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions:

	Six Months Ended
	December 27,		December 28,
	2014		2013

Volatility of common stock	40.8	%	53.9	%
Average volatility of peer companies	53.4	%	58.6	%
Average correlation coefficient of peer companies	0.2156		0.2920
Risk-free interest rate	0.6	%	0.8	%

Note 14. Employee Defined Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors significant qualified and non-qualified pension plans for certain past and present employees primarily in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Germany and Switzerland. The Company also is responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation assumed from a past acquisition. Most of the plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany and Switzerland, assumed in connection with acquisitions during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2014. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation or stated amounts for each year of service.

As of December 27, 2014, the U.K. plan and Switzerland plan were partially funded while the other plans were unfunded. The Company’s policy for funded plans is to make contributions equal to or greater than the requirements prescribed by law or regulation. For unfunded plans, the Company pays the post-retirement benefits when due. During the six months ended December 27, 2014, the Company contributed $0.8 million to the U.K. and $0.1 million to the Switzerland plans. The funded plan assets consist primarily of managed investments.

The following table presents the components of the net periodic cost for the pension plans (in millions):

Pension Benefits

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	December 27,			December 28,			December 27,			December 28,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Service cost	$	0.1		$	0.1		$	0.3		$	0.2
Interest cost	1.0			1.2			2.0			2.4
Expected return on plan assets	(0.4		)	(0.4		)	(0.8		)	(0.8		)
Recognized net actuarial (gains)/losses	0.2			—			0.3			—
Net periodic benefit cost	$	0.9		$	0.9		$	1.8		$	1.8

Both the calculation of the projected benefit obligation and net periodic cost are based upon actuarial valuations. These valuations use participant-specific information such as salary, age, years of service, and assumptions about interest rates, pension increases and other factors. At a minimum, the Company evaluates these assumptions annually and makes changes as necessary.

The Company expects to incur cash outlays of approximately $4.9 million related to its defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2015 to make current benefit payments and fund future obligations. As of December 27, 2014, approximately $2.7 million had been incurred. These payments have been estimated based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s projected benefit obligation at June 28, 2014.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While Management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and Management’s view of these matters may change in the future. If an unfavorable final outcome occurs, it is possible there could be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.

Guarantees

In accordance with authoritative guidance which requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. In addition, disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a tabular reconciliation of the changes of the entity’s product warranty liabilities, are required.

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company’s businesses or assets; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship.

The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on its balance sheet as of December 27, 2014 and June 28, 2014.

Product Warranties

In general, the Company offers a three-month to one-year warranty for most of its products. The Company provides reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the costs of its warranty obligations based on its historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise with specific products. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

The following table presents the changes in the Company’s warranty reserve (in millions):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Note 16. Operating Segments

The Company evaluates its reportable segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance on segment reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Thomas H. Waechter, is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) pursuant to the guidance. The CODM allocates resources to the segments based on their business prospects, competitive factors, net revenue and operating results.

The Company is a leading provider of network service and enablement solutions and optical products for telecommunications service providers, cable operators, network equipment manufacturers (“NEMs”) and enterprises. JDSU’s diverse technology portfolio also fights counterfeiting and enables commercial lasers for a range of manufacturing applications.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company reorganized its NSE reportable segment into two separate reportable segments, Network Enablement and Service Enablement. Splitting NSE into two reportable segments provides greater clarity and transparency regarding the markets, financial performance and business models of the NE and SE businesses. NE is a hardware-centric and more mature business consisting primarily of NSE’s traditional communications test instrument products. SE is a more software-centric business consisting primarily of software solutions that are embedded within the network and enterprise performance management solutions. Historical segment numbers have been recast to conform to this new reporting structure in our financial statements.

The Company’s reportable segments are:

(i) Network Enablement:

NE provides testing solutions that access the network to perform build out and maintenance tasks. These solutions include instruments and software to design, build, turn-up, certify, troubleshoot, and optimize networks.

(ii) Service Enablement:

SE solutions are embedded systems that yield network, service and application performance data. These solutions—including microprobes and software—monitor, collect and analyze network data to reveal the actual customer experience and to identify opportunities for new revenue streams and network optimization.

Net revenue decreased by $10.5 million, or 2.3%, during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was due to decreases in our NE and OSP segments, partially offset by increases in our CCOP and SE segments as discussed below.

NE net revenue decreased by $22.1 million, or 14.2%, during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was driven by $28.8 million of net revenue decreases primarily from our Ethernet, MAC and Fiber product lines. These decreases were primarily due to a reduction in carrier spending, partially offset by $6.7 million of net revenue increases primarily due to increased volume from key customers of our Mobility product line.

SE net revenue increased by $6.5 million, or 16.6%, during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by $11.1 million of net revenue increases primarily due to incremental revenue from our Enterprise product line acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. This was partially offset by $4.6 million of net revenue decreases primarily from our MAA and RAN solutions products resulting from lower demand from solution-based customers in the current quarter compared to the same period a year ago.

CCOP net revenue increased by $9.1 million, or 4.6%, during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was driven by $22.3 million of net revenue increases primarily from products addressing our Lasers market. These increases were primarily due to higher demand from a key customer for our second generation fiber laser product. These increases were partially offset by $13.2 million of net revenue decreases from products addressing the Consumer and Industrial market, primarily due to lower demand for 3D sensing products in the current period compared to the prior period when our customer launched its next generation gaming console.

OSP net revenue decreased by $4.0 million, or 7.3%, during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was driven by $12.3 million of net revenue decreases primarily due to the planned exit of legacy products which was completed in the end of fiscal 2014 and lower demand from a key customer for 3D sensing products in our Consumer and Industrial product line. This decrease was partially offset by $8.3 million of net revenue increases primarily from our Anti-Counterfeiting product line driven by cyclical demand for our currency products.

Net revenue decreased by $5.9 million, or 0.7%, during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in our NE and OSP segments partially offset by increases in SE and CCOP as discussed below.

NE net revenue decreased by $34.4 million, or 11.4%, during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was driven by $40.4 million of net revenue decreases primarily from our MAC, Ethernet and Fiber product lines. These decreases were primarily due to a reduction in carrier spending in fiscal 2015. This was partially offset by $6.0 million of net revenue increases primarily due to increased volume from key customers of our Mobility product line.

SE net revenue increased by $27.9 million, or 42.3%, during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was driven by $29.5 million of net revenue increases primarily due to incremental net revenue from our Enterprise product line which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, coupled with revenue growth in our Location Intelligence and Packet Portal product lines driven by expansion of our customer base. This was offset by $1.6 million of net revenue decreases primarily from our MAA product line resulting from lower demand from solution-based customers.

CCOP net revenue increased by $13.8 million, or 3.4%, during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was driven by $45.5 million of net revenue increases primarily from our products addressing our Lasers and Telecom markets. These increases were primarily due to higher demand from a key customer for our second generation fiber laser product in the Laser market and for our 40G and 100G modulators in the Telecom market. These increases were partially offset by $31.7 million of net revenue decreases primarily from products addressing our Consumer and Industrial product line primarily due to lower demand for 3D sensing products in the current period compared to the prior period when our customer launched its next generation gaming console.

OSP net revenue decreased by $13.2 million, or 12.3%, during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was driven by $23.4 million of net revenue decreases primarily due to the planned exit of legacy products which was completed in the end of fiscal 2014 and lower demand from a key customer for our 3D sensing products in the Consumer and Industrial product line. This was partially offset by $10.2 million of net revenue increases primarily from our Anti-Counterfeiting product line driven by cyclical demand for our currency products.

Going forward, we expect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market risks and uncertainties that may limit our visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance, and that could create quarter over quarter variability in our financial measures. For example, continued economic issues in Europe have led to uncertain demand in our NE, SE and optical communications product portfolios, and we cannot predict when or to what extent this uncertainty will be resolved. Our revenues, profitability, and general financial performance may also be affected by: (a) strong pricing pressures, particularly within our optical communications markets, due to, among other things, a highly concentrated customer base, increasing competition, particularly from Asia-based competitors, and a general commoditization trend for certain products; (b) high product mix variability, particularly in our CCOP, NE and SE markets, which affects revenue and gross margin; (c) fluctuations in customer buying patterns, which cause demand, revenue and profitability volatility; (d) the current trend of communication industry consolidation, which is expected to continue, that directly affects our CCOP, NE and SE customer bases and adds additional risk and uncertainty to our financial and business projections; (e) our preparations for the proposed spinoff and executions of our savings initiatives may lead to disruptions in our day-to-day operations and (f) the proposed spinoff may result in disruptions to, and negatively impact our relationships with, our customers and other business partners. In addition, we anticipate lower demand and revenue from our 3D sensing products in our CCOP and OSP segments through fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014.

Table of Contents

We operate in three geographic regions: Americas, Europe Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia-Pacific. The following table presents net revenue by geographic region (in millions):

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	December 27,				December 28,				December 27,				December 28,
	2014				2013				2014				2013
Net revenue:
Americas	$	189.5	43.3	%	$	213.8	47.8	%	$	383.4	44.0	%	$	413.0	47.1	%
EMEA	97.7		22.4		104.8		23.4		202.7		23.3		208.8		23.8
Asia-Pacific	149.9		34.3		129.0		28.8		284.6		32.7		254.8		29.1

Net revenue is assigned to geographic regions based on customer shipment locations. Net revenue from customers in the Americas during the three months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 included net revenue from the United States of $140.0 million and $157.8 million, respectively. Net revenue from customers in the Americas during the six months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 included net revenue from the United States of $283.9 million and $302.6 million, respectively.

Net revenue from customers outside the Americas during the three months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 represented 56.7% and 52.2% of net revenue, respectively. Net revenue from customers outside the Americas during the six months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, represented 56.0% and 52.9% of net revenue, respectively. We expect revenue from customers outside of North America to continue to be an important part of our overall net revenue and an increasing focus for net revenue growth opportunities.

Gross Margin

Gross margin remained relatively flat, increasing by 0.1 percentage points during the three months ended December 27, 2014 from 45.8% in the same period a year ago to 45.9% in the current period. The increase was primarily due to an improvement in gross margin within each of our segments in the current period driven by operational efficiencies coupled with the addition of the higher-margin Enterprise product line acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 in our SE segment. This was partially offset by a change in segment mix as CCOP net revenue, which generates lower gross margin generally than our other three segments, represented a higher percentage of consolidated net revenue in the current period.

Gross margin increased 1.4 percentage points during the six months ended December 27, 2014 from 44.5% in the same period a year ago to 45.9 % in the current period. The increase was primarily due to an improvement in gross margin within each of our segments driven by operational efficiencies, coupled with the addition of higher-margin Enterprise product line acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 in our SE segment. This increase was partially offset by a change in segment mix as CCOP net revenue, which generates lower gross margin generally than our other three segments, represented a higher percentage of consolidated net revenue.

As discussed in more detail under “Net Revenue” above, we sell products in certain markets that are consolidating, undergoing product, architectural and business model transitions, have high customer concentrations, are highly competitive (increasingly due to Asia-Pacific-based competition), are price sensitive and/or are affected by customer seasonal and mix variant buying patterns. We expect these factors to continue to result in variability of our gross margin.

Research and Development (“R&D”)

As a percentage of net revenue R&D increased 1.9 percentage points during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago as we continue to invest in our portfolio to develop new technologies, products and services that offer our customers increased value and strengthen our position in our core markets. R&D expense increased by $6.9 million, or 9.5%, during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by (i) a $3.4 million increase in labor and benefits expense primarily due to higher headcount and corresponding compensation associated with our ongoing investment in R&D and our strategic acquisitions in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2014 (ii) a $1.9 million IPR&D impairment charge related to our fiscal 2014 acquisition and (iii) a $1.6 million increase in R&D materials expense.

Table of Contents

As a percentage of net revenue, R&D expense increased 1.7 percentage points. R&D expense increased by $13.7 million, or 9.7%, during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by (i) a $10.9 million increase in labor and benefits expense primarily due to higher headcount and corresponding compensation associated with our ongoing investment in R&D and our strategic acquisitions in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2014 (ii) a 1.9 million IPR&D impairment charge related to our fiscal 2014 acquisition and (iii) a $1.7 million increase in R&D materials expense. This was partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in R&D offsets from CCOP customer-funded development projects.

We believe that continuing our investments in R&D is critical to attaining our strategic objectives. We plan to continue to invest in R&D and new products that will further differentiate us in the marketplace and expect our investment in dollar terms to increase in future quarters.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

As a percentage of revenue SG&A expense increased 1.9 percentage points compared to the same period a year ago. SG&A expense increased by $5.8 million, or 5.3 %, during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by a $7.1 million increase in non-recurring expenses related to the separation of the CCOP segment into a separate company. This was partially offset by a $2.1 million reduction in various other charges as a result of our continuing cost reduction efforts.

As a percentage of net revenue SG&A expense increased 1.3 percentage points compared to the same period a year ago. SG&A expense increased by $9.4 million, or 4.3%, during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by a $7.7 million increase in non-recurring expenses related to the separation of the CCOP segment into a separate company and $4.2 million increase in labor and benefits expense primarily due to sales and marketing expenses related to the acquisition of our Enterprise product line which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. This was partially offset by a $3.8 million reduction in various other charges as a result of our continuing cost reduction efforts.

We intend to continue to focus on reducing our SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue. However, we have in the recent past experienced, and may continue to experience in the future, certain non-core expenses, such as mergers and acquisitions-related expenses, expenses related to our proposed separation of the business into two public companies and litigation expenses, which could increase our SG&A expenses and potentially impact our profitability expectations in any particular quarter.

Restructuring and Related Charges

We continue to reduce costs through targeted restructuring efforts intended to consolidate our operations, rationalize the manufacturing of our products and align our businesses in response to market conditions. We estimate annualized cost savings of approximately $53.0 million, excluding any one-time charges as a result of the restructuring activities initiated in the past year. Refer to “Note 11. Restructuring and Related Charges” for more detail.

During the three and six months ended December 27, 2014, we incurred restructuring and related charges of $9.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, we incurred restructuring and related charges of $1.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we incurred restructuring and related charges of $9.7 million. The charges are a combination of new and previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily the result of the following:

· During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, Management approved a plan to eliminate certain positions in its shared services functions in connection with the Company’s plan to split into two separate public companies. Further, certain sales and operations positions will be eliminated in CCOP, NE and SE to match product market strategy, lower manufacturing costs, and align with the new go-to-market focus as the Company moves forward with its separation plan. As a result, a restructuring charge of $9.0 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for approximately 170 employees primarily in manufacturing and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we incurred restructuring and related charges of $1.0 million. These charges are primarily the result of the following:

· During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan in the Finance and IT organization to eliminate positions and re-define roles and responsibilities to align with the future state of the organization under new executive management and move positions to lower-cost locations where appropriate. As a result, a restructuring charge of $1.6 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for approximately 30 employees primarily in SG&A functions located in North America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Table of Contents

· We recorded a $1.5 million benefit to adjust the lease liability accrual for the Germantown location related to the NSE Lease Restructuring Plan originally approved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

During the six months ended December 27, 2014, we recorded $12.6 million in restructuring and related charges. The charges are a combination of new and previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily the result of the following:

· We incurred a restructuring charge of $9.0 million primarily for severance and benefits for the JDSU Consolidated Spin Off Restructuring Plan announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

· We incurred a restructuring charge of $1.5 million primarily for severance and benefits for the Robbinsville Closure Plan announced in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

During the six months ended December 28, 2013, we recorded $0.2 million in restructuring and related charges. The charges are primarily the result of the following:

· $1.6 million for severance and benefits for the Central Finance and IT Plan announced in the current quarter offset by $0.8 million benefit relating to a reduction in the number of employees impacted by the OSP Operational Realignment Plan approved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Our restructuring and other lease exit cost obligations are net of sublease income or lease settlement estimates of approximately $5.6 million. Our ability to generate sublease income, as well as our ability to terminate lease obligations and recognize the anticipated related savings, is highly dependent upon the economic conditions, particularly commercial real estate market conditions in certain geographies, at the time we negotiate the lease termination and sublease arrangements with third parties as well as the performances by such third parties of their respective obligations. While the amount we have accrued represents the best estimate of the remaining obligations we expect to incur in connection with these plans, estimates are subject to change. Routine adjustments are required and may be required in the future as conditions and facts change through the implementation period. If adverse macroeconomic conditions continue, particularly as they pertain to the commercial real estate market, or if, for any reason, tenants under subleases fail to perform their obligations, we may be required to reduce estimated future sublease income and adjust the estimated amounts of future settlement agreements, and accordingly, increase estimated costs to exit certain facilities. Amounts related to the lease expense, net of anticipated sublease proceeds, will be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal 2019.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest and other income (expense), net remained flat at $0.4 million during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago.

Interest and other income (expense), net was $0.9 million during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to $(0.2) million during the same period a year ago. This $1.1 million change was primarily driven by an increase in interest income due to balances in higher-yielding investment vehicles in our investment portfolios.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $0.1 million, or 1.2%, during the three months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in accretion of unamortized debt discount related to the 0.625% Convertible Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”) which were issued on August 21, 2013, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in interest expense during the current period.

Interest expense increased by $3.2 million, or 23.5%, during the six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.9 million and $0.6 million in accretion of the debt discount and contractual interest expense related to our 2033 Notes, partially offset by a $1.3 million write-off of unamortized issuance costs related to the termination of the revolving credit facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. During the six months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, our debt discount accretion was $12.5 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

Provision for Income Tax

We recorded an income tax expense of $8.8 million and $14.9 million for the three and six months ended December 27, 2014, respectively. We recorded an income tax expense of $3.0 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, respectively. We recorded an adjustment related to prior periods which reduced income tax expense by $1.7 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013, of which $0.8 million and $0.9 million related to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014, respectively.

These income tax expenses recorded for the three and six months ended December 27, 2014, and December 28, 2013, primarily relate to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on our forecasted pre-tax income for the year in those locations. A tax benefit of $0.9 million and $5.1 million was recorded in the Company’s income tax provision for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, respectively, related to the income tax intraperiod tax allocation rules in relation to other comprehensive income.

The income tax benefit and expense recorded differs from the expected tax expense or benefit that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our income or loss before income taxes primarily due to the increases in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to our domestic and foreign losses from continuing operations, the income tax benefit recorded in continuing operations under the income tax intraperiod tax allocation rules, and the recognition of the unrecognized tax benefits.

As of December 27, 2014 and June 28, 2014, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $58.4 million and $60.3 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. We had $23.6 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 27, 2014. The unrecognized tax benefits that may be recognized during the next twelve months are approximately $23.1 million.

NE operating margin decreased 3.0 percentage points during the three months ended December 27, 2014 from 19.8% in the same period a year ago to 16.8% in the current period. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue driven by reductions in net revenue as described above. This was partially offset by an improvement in gross margin primarily due to a more favorable product mix.

Table of Contents

NE operating margin decreased 1.7 percentage points during six months ended December 27, 2014 from 17.7% in the same period a year ago to 16.0% in the current period. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue driven by reductions in net revenue as described above. This was partially offset by an improvement in gross margin primarily due to a more favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiencies.

SE operating margin remained relatively flat during the three months ended December 27, 2014 from (5.6) % in the same period a year ago to (5.5) % in the current period. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to the higher-margin Enterprise product line which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. This was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses primarily due to the acquisition, development of new products, and our ongoing R&D investments in other product lines.

SE operating margin increased 16.5 percentage points during six months ended December 27, 2014 from (18.3) % in the same period a year ago to (1.8) % in the current period. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to an improvement in gross margin driven by the addition of the higher-margin Enterprise product line acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. This was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue primarily due to our acquisitions in the second half of fiscal 2014, coupled with higher R&D investments for the ongoing development of our product portfolio.

CCOP

CCOP operating margin increased 0.7 percentage points during the three months ended December 27, 2014 from 12.1% in the same period a year ago to 12.8% in the current period. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to an improvement in gross margin driven by higher volume, which improved factory utilization, coupled with improvements in yield and a more favorable product mix due to our lasers product line which generates a higher margin. This was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue primarily due to higher headcount and spending associated with our ongoing R&D investments.

CCOP operating margin decreased 0.3 percentage points during six months ended December 27, 2014 from 12.7% in the same period a year ago to 12.4% in the current period. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue driven by a higher headcount associated with our ongoing investments in R&D projects. This was partially offset by an improvement in gross margin primarily due to higher volume, which improved factory utilization, coupled with improvements in yield and a more favorable product mix as a result of our lasers product line which generates a higher margin.

OSP

OSP operating margin remained relatively flat during the three and six months ended December 27, 2014.

OSP operating margin remained relatively flat during the three months ended December 27, 2014 decreasing by 0.3 percentage points from 37.5% in the same period a year ago to 37.2% in the current period. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue, partially offset by an improvement in gross margin.

OSP operating margin remained flat at 37.0% during six months ended December 27, 2014 compared to the same period a year ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash investments are made in accordance with an investment policy approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In general, our investment policy requires that securities purchased be rated A-1/P-1, A/A2 or better. In November, 2012, the policy was amended to allow an allocation to securities rated A-2/P-2, BBB/Baa2 or better, with such allocation not to exceed 10% of any investment portfolio. Securities that are downgraded subsequent to purchase are evaluated and may be sold or held at management’s discretion. No security may have an effective maturity that exceeds 37 months, and the average duration of our holdings may not exceed 18 months. At any time, no more than 5.0% or $5.0 million, whichever is greater, of each of our investment portfolios may be concentrated in a single issuer other than the U.S. or sovereign governments or agencies. Our investments in debt securities and marketable equity securities are primarily classified as available-for-sale investments or trading assets and are recorded at fair value. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are recorded as other comprehensive (loss) income and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We did not hold any investments in auction rate securities, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, or variable rate demand notes at December 27, 2014 and virtually all debt securities held were of investment grade (at least BBB-/Baa3). As of December 27, 2014, U.S. entities owned approximately 80.9% of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash.

Table of Contents

As of December 27, 2014, the majority of our cash investments have maturities of 90 days or less and are of high credit quality. Although we intend to hold these investments to maturity, in the event that we are required to sell any of these securities under adverse market conditions, losses could be recognized on such sales. During the six months ended December 27, 2014, we have not realized material investment losses but can provide no assurance that the value or the liquidity of our investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. In addition, we maintain cash balances in operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions. These balances in the U.S. may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail.

As of December 27, 2014 our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash decreased by $13.7 million to $867.6 million from $881.3 million as of June 28, 2014.

During the six months ended December 27, 2014, cash provided by operating activities was $57.4 million, primarily resulting from $85.8 million of net income adjusted for both non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) and changes in our deferred tax balances which are non-cash in nature, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $28.4 million. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $23.7 million primarily due to collections timing, a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $10.9 million and a decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses of $8.5 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred taxes, net of $13.5 million.

During the six months ended December 28, 2013, cash provided by operating activities was $83.9 million, resulting from our net income adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation of $118.1 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $34.2 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities related primarily to a decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses of $7.2 million due to timing of salary payments, an increase in accounts receivable of $28.3 million due to an increase in sales and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $10.2 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $21.8 million due to lower payment activity.

During the six months ended December 27, 2014, cash used in investing activities was $38.7 million, primarily resulting from $300.2 million of purchases of available-for-sale investments and $50.4 million of cash used for capital expenditures, partially offset by $305.1 million of maturities and sales of available-for-sale investments.

During the six months ended December 28, 2013, cash used for investing activities was $442.7 million, primarily related to the investment of proceeds from the 2033 Notes for purchases of available-for-sale investments of $671.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities of available-for-sale investments of $135.3 million and sales of available-for-sale investments of $154.7 million.

During the six months ended December 27, 2014, cash used in financing activities was $10.7 million, primarily resulting from holdback payments of $12.3 million related to our acquisitions in fiscal 2014 and $4.7 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock, partially offset by $6.9 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

During the six months ended December 28, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $549.7 million, primarily related to the $650.0 million proceeds from the 2033 Notes, partially offset by repurchase of 7.4 million shares of our outstanding common stock for $100.0 million.

We believe that our existing cash balances and investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital spending requirements over the next twelve months. However, there are a number of factors that could positively or negatively impact our liquidity position, including:

· global economic conditions which affect demand for our products and services and impact the financial stability of our suppliers and customers;

· changes in accounts receivable, inventory or other operating assets and liabilities which affect our working capital;

· increase in capital expenditure to support the revenue growth opportunity of our business;

· the tendency of customers to delay payments or to negotiate favorable payment term to manage their own liquidity positions;

Table of Contents

· timing of payments to our suppliers;

· factoring or sale of accounts receivable;

· volatility in fixed income and credit market which impact the liquidity and valuation of our investment portfolios;

· volatility in foreign exchange market which impacts our financial results;

· possible investments or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies;

· issuance or repurchase of debt or equity securities;

· potential funding of pension liabilities either voluntarily or as required by law or regulation, and

· compliance with covenants and other terms and conditions related to our financing arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2014, except for those occurring in the ordinary course of our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than the guarantees discussed in “Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies.”

Employee Stock-based Benefit Plans

Our stock-based benefit plans are a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain employees and align stockholder and employee interests. Refer to “Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation” for more information.

Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits

We sponsor significant pension plans for certain past and present employees primarily in the U.K., Germany and Switzerland. We are also responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation of a previously acquired subsidiary. Most of these plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for the plans assumed in connection with acquisitions during fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2014. The U.K. plan and Switzerland plan are partially funded and the German plans, which were established as “pay-as-you-go” plans, are unfunded. As of December 27, 2014, our pension plans were under funded by $98.3 million since the projected benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of its plan assets. Similarly, we had a liability of $1.1 million related to our non-pension post-retirement benefit plan. Pension plan assets are managed by external third parties and we monitor the performance of our investment managers. As of December 27, 2014, the fair value of plan assets had increased approximately 8.0% since June 28, 2014, our most recent fiscal year end.

A key actuarial assumption is the discount rate. Changes in the discount rate impact the interest cost component of the net periodic benefit cost calculation and, due to the fact that the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) is calculated on a net present value basis, changes in the discount rate will also impact the current PBO. Decreases in the discount rate will generally increase pre-tax cost, recognized expense and the PBO. Increases in the discount rate tend to have the opposite effect. We estimate a 50 basis point decrease or increase in the discount rate would cause a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in the PBO of approximately $9.7 million based upon June 28, 2014 data.

In estimating the expected return on plan assets, we consider historical returns on plan assets, adjusted for forward-looking considerations, inflation assumptions and the impact of active management of the plan’s invested assets. While it is not possible to accurately predict future rate movements, we believe our current assumptions are appropriate. Refer to “Note 14. Employee Defined Benefit Plans” for more details.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivatives and other financial instruments are used to mitigate exposures subject to market risk. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Table of Contents

Foreign Exchange Risk

We utilize foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments, including option contracts, to hedge foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables. Our foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts are reflected as Prepayments and other current assets or Other current liabilities in Consolidated Balance Sheets and the associated gains and losses are reflected in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. The gains and losses on those derivatives are expected to be offset by re-measurement gains and losses on the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

Forward contracts, most with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near quarter-end and therefore, the fair value of the contracts is approximately zero at quarter-end. The change in the fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as income or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Interest and other income (expense), net.

The following table provides information about our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of December 27, 2014.

The counterparties to these hedging transactions are creditworthy multinational financial institutions. We actively manage these counterparty exposures by seeking to diversify our hedge positions across multiple counterparties to avoid concentration of risk and by monitoring such exposure on an on-going basis. Nevertheless, under current market conditions, failure of one or more of these financial institutions could result in losses.

Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate some foreign exchange risks, we do not hedge all of our foreign currency exposures, and there can be no assurances that our mitigating activities related to the exposures that we do hedge will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations.

Investments

We maintain an investment portfolio in a variety of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, U.S. government and agency bonds, corporate obligations, money market funds, asset-backed securities, and other investment-grade securities. The majority of these investments pay a fixed rate of interest. The securities in the investment portfolio are subject to market price risk due to changes in interest rates, perceived issuer creditworthiness, marketability, and other factors. These investments are generally classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of Stockholders’ equity. We did not hold any investments in auction rate securities, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, or variable rate demand notes at December 27, 2014.

Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The fair market values of our fixed-rate securities decline if interest rates rise, while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may be less than expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have experienced a decline in market value because of changes in interest rates.

Table of Contents

Debt

The fair market value of the 2033 Notes is subject to interest rate and market price risk due to the convertible feature of the notes and other factors. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The fair market value of the notes may also increase as the market price of JDSU stock rises and decreases as the market price of the stock falls. Interest rate and JDSU stock price changes affect the fair market value of the notes but do not impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Based on quoted market prices, as of December 27, 2014, the fair market value of the 2033 Notes was $685.5 million. Refer to “Note10. Debt and Letters of Credit” for more details.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risks described below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q related to the decision to separate our business into two separate public companies, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2014.

We may not be able to complete the proposed spinoff of our CCOP business within the expected time frame or at all. The proposed transaction will require significant time and attention from our management, will result in increased operating expenses and, if completed, may not produce the anticipated benefits.

On September 10, 2014, we announced plans to separate into two publicly traded companies: an optical components and commercial lasers company consisting of our current CCOP segment and a network and service enablement company consisting of our current NE, SE and OSP segments. Completion of the separation will be subject to certain conditions, such as approval by our Board of Directors, receipt of tax opinions, effectiveness of a registration statement and foreign regulatory requirements. Our ability to complete the separation could be affected by unanticipated developments or changes in market conditions. For these and other reasons, we may not be able to complete the separation within the expected time frame, or at all.

Even if the separation is completed, we may not realize the anticipated benefits. In the near-term, the separation will result in additional operating expenses, including one-time transaction expense associated with the spinoff, and will require significant time and attention of our management, which could distract management from the operation of our business. In addition, we could face difficulties retaining key customers or employees as a result of the separation. If any of these risks materialize, they could adversely affect our operating results.

Table of Contents

The proposed spinoff of our CCOP business could result in substantial tax liability to us and our shareholders.

One of the conditions for completing the spinoff will be our receipt of a tax opinion from our advisors substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the spinoff will qualify as a tax-free distribution under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. If any of the factual representations and assumptions made in connection with obtaining the tax opinion are inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, then we will not be able to rely on the tax opinion. Furthermore, the tax opinion will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the courts. Accordingly, the IRS or the courts may challenge the conclusions stated in the tax opinion and such challenge could prevail.

If, notwithstanding our receipt of the tax opinion, the spinoff is determined to be taxable, then (i) we would be subject to tax as if we sold the stock distributed in the spinoff in a taxable sale for its fair market value; and (ii) each shareholder who receives stock distributed in the spinoff would be treated as receiving a distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of such stock that would generally result in varied tax liabilities for each shareholder, which may be substantial.

The proposed spinoff may result in disruptions to, and negatively impact our relationships with, our customers and other business partners.

Uncertainty related to the proposed separation may lead customers and other parties to terminate or attempt to negotiate changes in existing business relationships. These disruptions could have a material and adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The effect of such disruptions could be exacerbated by any delays in the completion of the separation.
