CO2 and fiber lasers offer benefits in a wide variety of cutting, welding, drilling, ablation, cladding, heat treating and marking applications for materials such as steel alloys, non-ferrous metals, plastics, wood, paper, fiberboard, ceramics and composites.

Laser systems enable manufacturers to reduce parts cost and improve quality, as well as improve process precision, speed, throughput, flexibility, repeatability and automation. Automobile manufacturers, for example, deploy lasers both to cut body components and to weld those parts together in high-throughput production lines. Manufacturers of motorcycles, lawn mowers and garden tractors cut, trim, and weld metal parts with lasers to reduce post-processing steps and, therefore, lower overall manufacturing costs. Furniture manufacturers utilize lasers because of their easily reconfigurable, low-cost prototyping and production capabilities for customer-specified designs. In high-speed food and pharmaceutical packaging lines, laser marking is used to provide automated product, date and lot coding on containers.

In addition to being installed by original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) of laser systems in new machine builds, our optical components are purchased as replacement parts by end-users of laser machines to maintain proper system performance.

In newer and developing market segments, Silicon Carbide (“SiC”) and CVD Diamond both exhibit very high thermal conductivities for use in high-end applications in the semiconductor and optoelectronic markets.  CVD Diamond also has applications in the windows, tooling, microwave and radiation detection markets.

We devote significant resources to research, development and engineering programs directed at the continuous improvement of our existing products and processes and to the timely development of new technologies, materials and products. We believe that our research, development and engineering activities are essential to establish and maintain a leadership position in each of the markets we serve. As of June 30, 2016, we employed 892 people in research, development and engineering functions, 535 of who are engineers or scientists. In addition, certain manufacturing personnel support or participate in our research and development efforts on an ongoing basis. We believe this interaction between the development and manufacturing functions enhances the direction of our projects and design for manufacturing, reducing costs and accelerating technology transfers.

We have entered into selective intellectual property licensing agreements. When faced with potential infringement of our proprietary information, we have in the past and will continue to assert and vigorously protect our intellectual property rights.

Internally funded research and development expenditures were $60.4 million, $51.3 million and $42.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For these same periods, externally funded research and development expenditures were $8.7 million, $9.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

Marketing and Sales

We market our products through a direct sales force and through representatives and distributors around the world. Our market strategy is focused on understanding our customers’ requirements and building market awareness and acceptance of our products. New products are continually being produced and introduced to our new and established customers in all markets.

12


 

The Company has undertaken an initiative to centralize the worldwide marketing and sales functions across the Company’s business units. Sales offices have been strategically established to best serve and distribute products to our worldwide customer base. There is significant cooperation, coordination and synergies among our business units that capitalize on the most efficient and appropriate marketing channels to address diverse applications within our markets.

Our sales forces develop effective communications with our OEM and end-user customers worldwide. Products are actively marketed through targeted mailings, telemarketing, select advertising and attendance at trade shows and customer partnerships. Our sales force includes a highly-trained team of application engineers to assist customers in designing, testing and qualifying our parts as key components of our customers’ systems. As of June 30, 2016, we employed 262 individuals in sales, marketing and support.

We do business with a number of customers in the defense industry, who in turn generally contract with a governmental entity, typically a U.S. governmental agency. Most governmental programs are subject to funding approval and can be modified or terminated without warning by a legislative or administrative body. For further information regarding our exposure to government markets, see the discussion set forth in Item 1A – Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Manufacturing Technology and Processes

As noted in the “Our Strategy” section, many of the products we produce depend on our ability to manufacture and refine technically challenging materials and components. The ability to produce, process and refine these complex materials and to control their quality and yields is an expertise of the Company that is critical to the performance of our customers’ instruments and systems. In the markets we serve, there are a limited number of suppliers of many of the components we manufacture and there are very few industry-standard products.

Our network of worldwide manufacturing sites allows us to manufacture our products in regions that provide cost-effective advantages and proximity to our customers. We employ numerous advanced manufacturing technologies and systems at our manufacturing facilities. These include automated Computer Numeric Control optical fabrication, high throughput thin-film coaters, micro-precision metrology and custom-engineered automated furnace controls for crystal growth processes. Manufacturing products for use across the electro-magnetic spectrum requires the capability to repeatedly produce products with high yields to atomic tolerances. We embody a technology and quality mindset that gives our customers the confidence to utilize our products on a just-in-time basis straight into the heart of their production lines.

Export and Import Compliance

We are required to comply with various export/import control and economic sanction laws, including:

 

·

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) administered by the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, which, among other things, impose licensing requirements on the export from the U.S. of certain defense articles and defense services, which generally include items that are specially designed or adapted for a military application and/or listed on the U.S. Munitions List;

 

·

The Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, which, among other things, impose licensing requirements on the of certain dual-use goods, technology and software, which are items that potentially have both commercial and military applications;

 

·

The regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control, which implement economic sanctions imposed against designated countries, governments and persons based on U.S. foreign policy and national security considerations; and

 

·

The import regulations administered by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Foreign governments have also implemented similar export and import control regulations, which may affect our operations or transactions subject to their jurisdiction. For additional discussions regarding our import and export compliance, see the discussion set forth in Item 1A – Risk Factors of this Annual Report Form on Form 10-K.

Sources of Supply

The major raw materials we use include zinc, selenium, zinc selenide, zinc sulfide, hydrogen selenide, hydrogen sulfide, tellurium, yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, iridium, platinum, bismuth, silicon, thorium fluoride, antimony, carbon, gallium arsenide, copper, germanium, molybdenum, quartz, optical glass, diamond, and other materials. Excluding our own production, there are more than two external suppliers for all of the above materials except for zinc sulfide, hydrogen selenide and thorium fluoride, for which there is only one proven source of supply outside of the Company’s capabilities, and zinc selenide, for which there are no other proven external

13


 

sources of supply. For many materials, we have entered into purchase arrangements which provide discounts for annual volume purchases in excess of specified amounts.

The continued high-quality of and access to these materials is critical to the stability and predictability of our manufacturing yields. We test materials at the onset of the production process. Additional research and capital investment may be needed to better define future starting material specifications. We have not experienced significant production delays due to shortages of materials. However, we do occasionally experience problems associated with vendor-supplied materials not meeting contract specifications for quality or purity. As discussed in greater detail in Item 1A – Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, significant failure of our suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of necessary high-quality materials on a timely basis could have a materially adverse effect on our results of our operations.

Bookings and Backlog

We define our bookings as customer orders received that are expected to be converted to revenues over the next twelve months. For long-term customer orders, to address the inherent uncertainty of orders that extend far into the future, the Company records only those orders which are expected to be converted into revenues within twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Bookings are adjusted if changes in customer demands or production schedules move a delivery beyond twelve months. For the year ended June 30, 2016, our bookings were approximately $875 million compared to bookings of approximately $762 million for the year ended June 30, 2015.

We define our backlog as bookings that have not been converted to revenues by the end of the reporting period. As of June 30, 2016, our backlog was approximately $290 million, compared to approximately $242 million at June 30, 2015.

Employees

As of June 30, 2016, we employed approximately 8,927 persons worldwide. Of these employees, approximately 892 were engaged in research, development and engineering, approximately 7,131 in direct production (of which approximately 858 are employees of Photop in China who work under contract manufacturing arrangements for customers of the Company) and the remaining balance of the Company’s employees work in sales and marketing, administration, finance and support services. Our production staff includes highly skilled optical craftsmen. We have a long-standing practice of encouraging active employee participation in areas of operations management. We believe our relations with our employees are good. We reward our employees with incentive compensation based on achievement of performance goals. There are approximately 124 employees located in the United States and the Philippines who are covered under collective bargaining agreements. The Company’s collective bargaining agreement in the Philippines expired in June 2016 and we are in the ordinary course of re-negotiating this agreement. The collective bargaining agreement covering certain U.S. based employees expires in January of 2021.

Trade Secrets, Patents and Trademarks

We rely on a combination of trade secrets, proprietary know-how, invention disclosures, patents and contractual provisions to help us develop and maintain our competitive position with respect to our products and manufacturing processes. We aggressively pursue process and product patents in certain areas of our businesses. We have entered into selective intellectual property licensing agreements.  When faced with potential infringement of our proprietary information, we have in the past and will continue to assert and vigorously protect our intellectual property rights.  We have confidentiality and noncompetition agreements with certain personnel. We require that all U.S. employees sign a confidentiality and noncompetition agreement upon their commencement of employment with us.

The processes and specialized equipment utilized in crystal growth, infrared materials fabrication and infrared optical coatings as developed by us are complex and difficult to duplicate. However, there can be no assurance that others will not develop or patent similar technology or that all aspects of our proprietary technology will be protected. Others have obtained patents covering a variety of infrared optical configurations and processes, and others could obtain patents covering technology similar to our technology. We may be required to obtain licenses under such patents, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such licenses, if required, on commercially reasonable terms, or that claims regarding rights to technology will not be asserted which may adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our research and development contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government present a risk that project-specific technology could be disclosed to competitors as contract reporting requirements are fulfilled.

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS  

We caution our investors that our performance is subject to risks and uncertainties. The following material risk factors may cause our future results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement. You should carefully consider these factors, as well as the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K when evaluating an investment in our securities.

Our Future Success Depends on Continued International Sales

Sales to customers in countries other than the U.S. accounted for approximately 63%, 63% and 65% of revenues during the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. If we do not realize such international sales or if our international sales decrease substantially, we could suffer a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

Our Competitive Position Depends on Our Ability to Develop New Products and Processes

To meet our strategic objectives, we must develop, manufacture and market new products and continue to update our existing products and processes to keep pace with market developments to address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. Our success in developing and selling new and enhanced products and processes depends upon a variety of factors including strategic product selection, efficient completion of product design and development, timely implementation of manufacturing and assembly processes, effective sales and marketing, and successful product performance in the market.

The introduction by our competitors of products or processes using new developments better or faster than ours could render our efforts underway obsolete or unmarketable.  We intend to continue to make significant investments in research and development to achieve our goals.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to our existing products and processes in a manner which satisfies customer needs or achieves market acceptance. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business and maintain our competitive position.  

Investments in Future Markets of Potential Significant Growth May Not Result in Expected Returns

We previously announced an investment program with the goal of gaining a greater share of end markets using semiconductor lasers, especially those used for 3D sensing.  We cannot guarantee that our investments in capital and capabilities will be sufficient.  The potential market may not materialize on the timeline anticipated or at all.  We cannot be sure of the end market price.  Our technology could fail to fulfill, completely or at all, our target customers’ finalized specifications.  We cannot guarantee the end market customers’ acceptance of our technology. Further, we may be unable to fulfill the terms of our contracts with our target customers, which could result in penalties of a material nature, including consequential damages, loss of market share and loss of reputation.

We May Fail to Accurately Estimate Our Customers’ Demand

We make significant decisions based on our estimates of customer requirements.  We use our estimates to determine the levels of business we seek and accept, production schedules, personnel needs and other resource requirements.

Customers may require rapid increases in production on short notice.  We may not be able to purchase sufficient supplies or allocate sufficient manufacturing capacity to meet such increases in demand. Rapid customer ramp up and significant increases in demand may strain our resources or negatively affect our margins.  Inability to satisfy customer demand in a timely manner may harm our reputation, reduce our other opportunities, damage our relationships with customers, reduce revenue growth, and/or incur contractual penalties.

Alternatively, downturns in the industries in which we compete may cause our customers to significantly reduce their demand.  With respect to orders we initiate with our suppliers prior to a downturn to address our customer’s demand, certain suppliers may have required non-cancelable purchase commitments or advance payments, from us, and those obligations and commitments could reduce our ability to adjust our inventory or expense levels to declining market demands. Unexpected decline in customer demands can result in excess or obsolete inventory and result in additional charges.  Because certain of our sales, research and development and internal manufacturing overhead expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand may decrease our gross margins and operating income.   

Global Economic Downturns May Adversely Affect Our Business, Operating Results and Financial Condition

Current and future conditions in the global economy have an inherent degree of uncertainty. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the level of growth or contraction for the global economy as a whole. It is even more difficult to estimate growth or contraction in various parts, sectors and regions of the economy, including industrial, military, optical communications, telecommunications, semiconductor, and medical and life science markets in which we participate. All aspects of our company forecast depend on estimates of growth or

18


 

contraction in the markets we serve.  Thus, prevailing global economic uncertainties render estimates of future income and expenditures very difficult to make.

Global economic downturns may affect industries in which our customers operate. These changes could include decreases in the rate of consumption or use of our customers’ products. Such conditions could have a material adverse effect on demand for our customers’ products, and in turn, on demand for our products.

Adverse changes may occur in the future as a result of declining or flat global or regional economic conditions, fluctuations in currency and commodity prices, wavering confidence, capital expenditure reductions, unemployment, decline in stock markets, contraction of credit availability or other factors affecting economic conditions. For example, factors that may affect our operating results include disruption in the credit and financial markets in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere, adverse effects of ongoing stagnation in the European economy, slowdown in the Chinese economy, reductions or limited growth in consumer spending or consumer credit, and other adverse economic conditions that may be specific to the Internet, e-commerce and payments industries.

These changes may negatively affect sales of products and increase exposure to losses from bad debt and commodity prices, the cost and availability of financing, and costs associated with manufacturing and distributing products. Any economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Global Operations are Complex to Manage

We manufacture products in the United States, China, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, Germany, and Switzerland, and through contract manufacturers in Thailand and China.  We also maintain direct sales offices in Hong Kong, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, the U.K., Belgium, China, Singapore, Italy and South Korea.  Our operations vary by location, are influenced by local customs, languages and work practices as well as different weather conditions, management styles, differences in education from country to country and the  inability of management to always act in a timely manner. In addition, different issues may arise in different countries at the same time, further hampering the management’s ability to respond. Inability to respond to issues in our global operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We Have Entered into Supply Agreements which Commit Us to Supply Products on Specified Terms

We have supply agreements with some customers which require us to supply products and to allocate sufficient capacity to make these products.  We have also agreed to pricing schedules and methodologies which could result in penalties if we fail to meet development, supply and quality commitments.  Failure to do so may cause us to be unable to generate the amount of revenue or the level of profitability we expect from these arrangements.  Our ability to realize a profit under some of these agreements will be subject to the level of customer demand, the cost of maintaining facilities and manufacturing capacity, and supply chain capability.

If we fail to fulfill our commitments under these supply agreements our business, after using all remedies available, financial conditions and results of operations may suffer a material adverse effect.

We Depend on Highly Complex Manufacturing Processes That Require Products from Limited Sources of Supply

Our operations are dependent upon a supply chain of difficult-to-make or difficult-to-refine products and materials.  Some of our product inflow is subject to yield from growth or fabrication operations, and thus the quantities we may receive are not consistently predictable.  Customers may also change the specification for a product that our suppliers cannot meet.

We also make products for which the Company is one of the world’s largest suppliers.  We use high-quality, optical grade zinc selenide (ZnSe) in the production of many of our IR optical products. We are the leading producer of ZnSe for our internal use and for external sale. The production of ZnSe is a complex process requiring a highly controlled environment. A number of factors, including defective or contaminated materials, could adversely affect our ability to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields of high quality ZnSe. No proven external sources of ZnSe are currently available. Lack of adequate availability of high quality ZnSe could have a material adverse effect upon our business. There can be no assurance that we will not experience manufacturing yield inefficiencies which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We produce Hydrogen Selenide gas which is used in our production of ZnSe. There are risks inherent in the production and handling of such material. Our lack of proper handling of Hydrogen Selenide could require us to curtail our production of Hydrogen Selenide. Hydrogen Selenide is available from only one outside source whose quantities and quality may be limited. The cost of purchasing such material is greater than the cost of internal production. As a result, the purchase of a substantial portion of such material from the outside source would increase our ZnSe production costs. Our potential inability to internally produce Hydrogen Selenide could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

In addition, we produce and use other high purity and relatively uncommon materials and compounds to manufacture our products including, but not limited to, Zinc Sulfide (ZnS), Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG), Yttrium Lithium Fluoride (YLF), Calcium Fluoride (CaF2), Germanium (Ge), Selenium (Se), Telluride (Te), Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3) and Silicon

19


 

Carbide (SiC). A significant failure of our internal production processes or our suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of these necessary materials on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Global Operations Are Subject to Complex Legal and Regulatory Requirements

We manufacture products in the United States, China, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, Germany, and Switzerland, and through contract manufacturers in Thailand and China.  We also maintain direct sales offices in Hong Kong, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, the U.K., Belgium, China, Singapore, Italy and South Korea.  Operations outside of the U.S. are subject to many legal and regulatory requirements, some of which are not aligned with others.  These include tariffs, quotas, taxes and other market barriers, restrictions on the export or import of technology, potentially limited intellectual property protection, customs import and export requirements, anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions, foreign investment rules and regulations, data privacy requirements, anti-competition laws, employment and labor laws, pensions and social insurance,  and environmental health, and safety laws and regulations.

Compliance with these laws and regulations can be onerous and expensive, and requirements differ among jurisdictions.  New laws, changes in existing laws and abrogation of local regulations by national laws result in significant uncertainties in how they will be interpreted and enforced. Failure to comply with any of these foreign laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We May Encounter Substantial Competition

We may encounter substantial competition from other companies in the same market, including established companies with significant resources. Some of our competitors may have financial, technical, marketing or other capabilities that are more extensive than ours.  They may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and other competitive pressures. We may not be able to compete successfully against our present or future competitors.  Our failure to effectively compete could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Competitive Position May Require Significant Investments in Strategic Acquisitions

We continuously monitor the marketplace for strategic opportunities, and our business strategy includes expanding our product lines and markets through both internal product development and acquisitions.  Consequently, we expect to continue to consider strategic acquisition of businesses, products or technologies complementary to our business.  This may require significant investments of management time and financial resources.  If market demand is outside our organic capabilities, if a strategic acquisition is required and we cannot identify one or execute on it, and/or if the financial investments do not result in a significant return on investment or the ability to serve our credit facility covenants due to inability to integrate the business, retain staff, or work with the customers, we could suffer a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Declines in the Operating Performance of One of Our Business Segments Could Result in an Impairment of the Segment’s Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

As of June 30, 2016, we had goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of approximately $233.8 million and $14.1 million, respectively, on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we test our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or when an indication of possible impairment exists, to determine whether the carrying value of our assets is still supported by the fair value of the underlying business. To the extent that it is not, we are required to record an impairment charge to reduce the asset to fair value. A decline in the operating performance of any of our business segments could result in an impairment charge which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

There Are Limitations on the Protection of Our Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trade secret, patent, copyright and trademark laws combined with employee confidentiality, noncompetition and nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or intellectual property. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that third-parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future.

Asserting our intellectual property rights or defending against third-party claims could involve substantial expense.  In the event a third-party were successful in a claim that one of our processes infringed its proprietary rights, we could be required to pay substantial damages or royalties, or spend substantial amounts in order to obtain a license or modify processes so that they no longer infringe such proprietary rights.  Any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

20


 

We Are Subject to Governmental Import and Export Regulations

We are subject to the passage of and changes in the interpretation of regulation by U.S. government entities at the federal, state and local levels and non-U.S. agencies, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

·

We are required to comply with import laws and export control and economic sanctions laws, which may affect our transactions with certain customers, business partners and other persons, including dealings with or between our employees and subsidiaries. In certain circumstances, export control and economic sanctions regulations may prohibit the export of certain products, services and technologies.  We may be required to obtain an export license before exporting a controlled item.  Compliance with the import laws that apply to our businesses may restrict our access to, and may increase the cost of obtaining, certain products and could interrupt our supply of imported inventory.

 

·

Exported technologies necessary to develop and manufacture certain products are subject to U.S. export control laws and similar laws of other jurisdictions.  We may be subject to adverse regulatory consequences, including government oversight of facilities and export transactions, monetary penalties and other sanctions for violations of these laws. In certain instances, these regulations may prohibit the Company from developing or manufacturing certain of its products for specific end applications outside the U.S.

Failure to comply with any of these laws and regulations could result in civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties, disruptions to our business, limitations on our ability to import and export products and services and damage to our reputation.

We Have Agreements with Government Entities

Our agreements relating to the sale of products to government entities may be subject to termination, reduction or modification in the event of changes in government requirements, reductions in federal spending and other factors. We are also subject to investigation and audit for compliance with the requirements of government contracts, including procurement integrity, export control, employment practices, the accuracy of records and the recording of costs.  Failure to comply with these requirements might result in suspension of these contracts and suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting.

We Use and Generate Hazardous Substances that Are Subject to Stringent Environmental Regulations

Hazardous substances used or generated in our research and manufacturing facilities are subject to stringent environmental regulation. We believe that our handling of such substances is in material compliance with applicable local, state and federal environmental, safety and health regulations at each operating location. We invest substantially in proper protective equipment, process controls and specialized training to minimize risks to employees, surrounding communities and the environment that could result from the presence and handling of such hazardous substances. We regularly conduct employee physical examinations and workplace monitoring regarding such substances. When exposure problems or potential exposure problems have been uncovered, corrective actions have been implemented and re-occurrence has been minimal or non-existent.

We have in place an emergency response plan with respect to our generation and use of the hazardous substance Hydrogen Selenide. Special attention has been given to all procedures pertaining to this gaseous material to minimize the chances of its accidental release into the atmosphere.

With respect to the manufacturing, use, storage and disposal of the low-level radioactive material Thorium Fluoride, our facilities and procedures have been inspected and licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Thorium-bearing by-products are collected and shipped as solid waste to a government-approved low-level radioactive waste disposal site in Clive, Utah.

The generation, use, collection, storage and disposal of all other hazardous by-products, such as suspended solids containing heavy metals or airborne particulates, are believed by us to be in material compliance with regulations. We believe that we have obtained all of the permits and licenses required for operation of our business.

We do not carry environmental impairment insurance. And, although we do not know of any material environmental, safety or health problems in our properties or processes, there can be no assurance that problems will not develop in the future which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We May Be Adversely Affected by Climate Change Regulations

In many of the countries in which we operate, government bodies are increasingly enacting legislation and regulations in response to potential impacts of climate change. These laws and regulations may be mandatory. They have the potential to impact our operations directly or indirectly as a result of required compliance by our customers or our supply chain. Inconsistency of regulations may also affect the costs of compliance with such laws and regulations. Assessments of the potential impact of future climate change legislation, regulation and international treaties and accords are uncertain, given the wide scope of potential regulatory change in countries in which we operate.

21


 

We may incur increased capital expenditures resulting from required compliance with revised or new legislation or regulations, added costs to purchase or lower profits from sales of our products, allowances or credits under a “cap and trade” system, increased insurance premiums and deductibles as new actuarial tables are developed to reshape coverage, a change in competitive position relative to industry peers, and changes to profit or loss arising from increased or decreased demand for goods produced by us and indirectly, from changes in costs of goods sold.

Data Breach Incidents and Breakdown of Information and Communication Technologies Could Disrupt our Operations and Impact Our Financial Results

In the course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property both proprietary and of our customers, as well as proprietary business information. We could be subject to service outages or breaches of security systems which may result in disruption, unauthorized access, misappropriation, or corruption of this information. Security breaches of our network or data including physical or electronic break-ins, vendor service outages, computer viruses, attacks by hackers or similar breaches can create system disruptions, shutdowns, or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Although we have not experienced an incident, if we are unable to prevent such security or privacy breaches, our operations would be disrupted or we could suffer legal claims, loss of reputation, financial loss, property damage, or regulatory penalties because of lost or misappropriated information.

Some Systems That Use our Products Are Complex in Design and May Contain Defects that Are Not Detected Until Deployed Which Could Increase Our Costs and Reduce Our Revenues

Some systems that use our products are inherently complex in design and require ongoing maintenance. Our customers may discover defects in our products after the products have been fully deployed and operated under peak stress conditions. In addition, some of our products are combined with products from other vendors which may contain defects. Should problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem. If we are unable to correct defects or other problems, we could experience, among other things loss of customers, increased costs of product returns and warranty expenses, damage to our brand reputation, failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance, diversion of development and engineering resources, or legal action by our customers.

The occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Significant Defense Spending Cuts and/or Reductions in Defense Programs Could Adversely Impact Our Business

Specific to the military business within our II-VI Laser Solutions and II-VI Performance Products segments, sales to customers in the defense industry totaled approximately 12% of revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. These customers generally contract with a governmental entity, typically a U.S. governmental agency. Future reductions in defense spending could result from the current or future economic or political environment.  For example, the ongoing sequestration of the defense budget could result in reductions in demand for defense-related products that we produce. Further, changes to existing defense procurement laws and regulations could adversely affect our results of operations.  Most governmental programs are subject to funding approval and can be modified or terminated with no warning upon the determination of a legislative or administrative body. The loss of or failure to obtain certain contracts or the loss of a major government customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Changes in Tax Rates, Tax Liabilities or Tax Accounting Rules Could Affect Future Results

As a global company, we are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various other countries and jurisdictions. As such, we must exercise a level of judgment in determining our worldwide tax liabilities. Our future tax rates could be affected by changes in the composition of earnings in countries with differing tax rates or changes in tax laws. Changes in tax laws or tax rulings may have a significantly adverse impact on our effective tax rate. For example, proposals for fundamental U.S. international tax reform, if enacted, could have a significant adverse impact on our effective tax rate. In addition, we are subject to regular examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of favorable or unfavorable outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that any final determination will not be materially different than the treatment reflected in our historical income tax provision and accruals, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation or financial condition.

Our Success Depends on Our Ability to Retain Key Personnel

We are highly dependent upon the experience and continuing services of certain scientists, engineers, production and management personnel. Competition for the services of these personnel is intense.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain or

22


 

attract the personnel necessary for our success. The loss of the services of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Natural Disasters or Other Global or Regional Catastrophic Events Could Disrupt Our Operations and Adversely Affect Our Results

We may be exposed to business interruptions due to catastrophe, natural disaster, pandemic, terrorism or acts of war that are beyond our control. Disruptions to our facilities or systems, or to those of our key suppliers, could also interrupt operational processes and adversely impact our ability to manufacture our products and provide services and support to our customers. As a result, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

A Significant Portion of Our Business is Dependent on Cyclical Industries

Our business is significantly dependent on the demand for products produced by end-users of industrial lasers and optical communication products. Many of these end-users are in industries that have historically experienced a highly cyclical demand for their products. As a result, demand for our products is subject to these cyclical fluctuations. Fluctuations in demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Increases in Commodity Prices May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of increases in commodity prices. Our businesses purchase, produce and sell high purity selenium and other raw materials based upon quoted market prices from minor metal exchanges. The negative impact from increases in commodity prices may not be recovered through our product sales which could have a material adverse effect on our net earnings and financial condition.

Regulations Related to Conflict Minerals Could Adversely Impact Our Business

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contain provisions to improve transparency and accountability concerning the supply of gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten, known as “conflict minerals,” originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries (collectively known as the "covered countries"). Pursuant to these rules, the SEC has adopted certain annual disclosure and reporting requirements for those companies that use conflict minerals in their products, regardless of whether such minerals were mined from the covered countries, compliance with which began in 2014. We could incur significant costs associated with complying with these disclosure requirements, including costs related to our due diligence efforts to determine the sources of any conflict minerals used in our products. These rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of materials we use in our products, particularly if there are only a limited number of suppliers offering conflict minerals that are from recycled or scrap sources, cannot be traced to a country of origin other than the covered countries, or cannot be traced to a source within the covered countries that does not finance or benefit armed groups in those countries. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain products from such suppliers in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, we may face reputational challenges if we determine that certain of our products contain conflict minerals originating from the covered countries and we cannot definitively determine whether the conflict minerals financed or otherwise benefited armed groups, or if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins of all of the conflict minerals used in our products through the due diligence procedures we implement.

The Market Price of Our Common Stock Can Be Highly Volatile

Factors that could cause fluctuation in our stock price include, among other things, general economic and market conditions, actual or anticipated variations in operating results, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, our inability to meet or exceed securities analysts’ estimates or expectations, conditions or trends in the industries in which our products are purchased, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic initiatives, capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel and sales of our Common Stock.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. However, these factors could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Provisions in Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws May Limit the Price that Investors May be Willing to Pay in the Future for Shares of Our Common Stock

Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws contain provisions that could make us a less attractive target for a hostile takeover and could make more difficult or discourage a merger proposal, a tender offer or a proxy contest. Such provisions include:

23


 

 

·

A requirement that shareholder-nominated director nominees be nominated in advance of the meeting at which directors are elected and that specific information be provided in connection with such nomination;  

 

·

The ability of the board of directors to issue additional shares of Common Stock or preferred stock without shareholder approval; and

 

·

Certain provisions requiring supermajority approval (at least two-thirds of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class).

In addition, the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law contains provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. All of these provisions may limit the price that investors may be willing to pay for shares of our Common Stock.

Because We Do Not Currently Intend to Pay Dividends, Shareholders Will Benefit From an Investment in our Common Stock Only if it Appreciates in Value

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our Common Stock, and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We currently anticipate that we will retain any future earnings to support operations and to finance the development of our business. As a result, the success of an investment in our Common Stock will depend entirely upon future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that our Common Stock will maintain its value or appreciate in value.

Item 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are also identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects” or similar expressions. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including those potential risks set forth in Item 1A, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Overview

The Company generates revenues, earnings and cash flows from developing, manufacturing and marketing engineered materials and optoelectronic components and devices for precision use in industrial, optical communications, military, semiconductor, medical and life science, and consumer applications. We also generate revenue, earnings and cash flows from government funded research and development contracts relating to the development and manufacture of new technologies, materials and products.

30


 

Our customer base includes OEMs, laser end-users, system integrators of high-power lasers, manufacturers of equipment and devices for the industrial, optical communications, military, semiconductor, medical and life science markets, consumer, U.S. government prime contractors, various U.S. Government agencies and thermoelectric integrators.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and accounting methods used in the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting estimates are those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, inventory valuation, business combinations, valuation of long-lived assets including acquired intangibles and goodwill, accrual of bonus and profit sharing estimates, accrual of income tax liability estimates and accounting for share-based compensation. Management believes these estimates to be critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed the related disclosure. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as described above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Revenues for product shipments are realizable when we have persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, the product has been shipped or delivered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss passes from the Company to its customer at the time of shipment in most cases, with the exception of certain customers for whom customer’s title does not pass and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the product at its physical location.

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistently applied across the Company’s segments, product lines and geographical locations. Further for the periods covered herein, we did not have post shipment obligations such as training or installation, customer acceptance provisions, credits and discounts, rebates and price protection or other similar privileges. Our distributors and agents are not granted price protection. Our distributors and agents, who comprise less than 10% of consolidated revenue, have no additional product return rights beyond the right to return defective products covered by our warranty policy. We believe our revenue recognition practices are consistent with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 and that we have adequately considered the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 Revenue Recognition. Revenues generated from transactions other than product shipments are contract-related and have historically accounted for less than 2% of the Company’s consolidated revenues.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and believes the collection of revenues, net of this reserve, is reasonably assured. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate for potential non-collection of accounts receivable based on historical experience. The Company did not experience a non-collection of accounts receivable materially affecting its financial condition or results of operations as of and for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, causing an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provisions for bad debts could be required in future periods. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reserve estimates have historically been proven to be materially correct based upon actual charges incurred.

The Company records a warranty reserve as a charge against earnings based on a historical percentage of revenues utilizing actual returns over a period that approximates historical warranty experience. If actual returns in the future are not consistent with the historical data used to calculate these estimates, additional warranty reserves could be required. The Company’s warranty reserve estimates have historically been proven to be materially correct based upon actual charges incurred.

The Company records an inventory reserve as a charge against earnings for all products on hand for more than twelve to twenty-four months, depending on the products that have not been sold to customers or cannot be further manufactured for sale to alternative customers. An additional reserve is recorded for products on hand that are in excess of product sold to customers over the same periods noted above. If actual market conditions are less favorable than projected, additional inventory reserves may be required. The Company’s inventory reserve estimates have historically been proven to be materially correct based upon actual write-offs incurred.

31


 

The Company accounts for business acquisitions by establishing the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Certain provisions of U.S. GAAP prescribe, among other things, the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration) and the exclusion of transaction and acquisition-related restructuring costs from acquisition accounting.

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The determination of the estimated useful lives of other intangible assets and whether goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles are impaired requires us to make judgments based upon long-term projections of future performance. Estimates of fair value are based on our projection of revenues, operating costs and cash flows of each reporting unit considering historical and anticipated results and general economic and market conditions. The fair values of the reporting units are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on historical and projected financial information as well as market analysis. The annual goodwill impairment analysis considers the financial projections of the reporting unit based on our most recently completed long-term strategic planning processes and also considers the current financial performance compared to our prior projections of the reporting unit. Changes in our internal structuring, financial performance, judgments and projections could result in an impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill prior to completing the two-step process described above to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the Company concludes that this is the case, it must perform the two-step process. Otherwise, the Company will forego the two-step process and does not need to perform any further testing.

As a result of the purchase price allocations from our acquisitions, and due to our decentralized structure, our goodwill is included in multiple reporting units which are the same as the Company’s operating segments. Due to the cyclical nature of our business, and the other factors described in the section on Risk Factors set forth in Item 1A, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the profitability of our individual reporting units may periodically suffer from downturns in customer demand, operational challenges and other factors. These factors may have a relatively more pronounced impact on the individual reporting units as compared to the Company as a whole, and might adversely affect the fair value of the individual reporting units. If material adverse conditions occur that impact one or more of our reporting units, our determination of future fair value may not support the carrying amount of one or more of our reporting units, and the related goodwill would need to be impaired.

Based upon our annual quantitative goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests, the Company did not record any impairments of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

The Company records certain bonus and profit sharing estimates as a charge against earnings. These estimates are adjusted to actual based on final results of operations achieved during the fiscal year. Certain partial bonus amounts are paid quarterly based on interim company performance, and the remainder is paid after the fiscal year end. Other bonuses are paid annually.

The Company prepares and files tax returns based on its interpretation of tax laws and regulations and records estimates based on these judgments and interpretations. In the normal course of business, the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities, which may result in future tax, interest and penalty assessments by these authorities. Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of many tax positions due to changes in tax law resulting from legislation, regulation and/or as concluded through the various jurisdictions’ tax court systems. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted for changes in facts and circumstances. For example, adjustments could result from significant amendments to existing tax law and the issuance of regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of an examination. The Company believes that its estimates for uncertain tax positions are appropriate and sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examinations of its tax returns. The Company recognizes both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

The Company has recorded valuation allowances against certain of its deferred tax assets, primarily those that have been generated from net operating losses in certain foreign taxing jurisdictions and acquired U.S. carryforwards. The Company adopted an accounting policy to apply acquired deferred tax liabilities to pre-existing deferred tax assets before evaluating the need for a valuation allowance for acquired deferred tax assets. During fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a $36.2 million valuation allowance as part of its purchase accounting. In evaluating whether the Company would more likely than not recover these deferred tax assets, it has not assumed any future taxable income or tax planning strategies in the jurisdictions associated with these carry-forwards where history does not support such an assumption. Implementation of tax planning strategies to recover these deferred tax assets or future income

32


 

generation in these jurisdictions could lead to the reversal of these valuation allowances and a reduction of income tax expense. During fiscal year 2016, $8.5 million of a valuation allowance impacted income tax expense.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of share-based equity expense using assumptions such as the risk-free interest rate, expected stock price volatility, expected stock option life and expected dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Note rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant related to the expected life of the options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The expected life calculation is based on the observed time to post-vesting exercise and/or forfeitures of options by our employees. The dividend yield is zero, based on the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no current intention to pay cash dividends in the future.

Fiscal Year 2016 Compared to Fiscal Year 2015

The Company aligns its organizational structure into the following three reporting segments for the purpose of making operational decisions and assessing financial performance: (i) II-VI Laser Solutions, (ii) II-VI Photonics, and (iii) II-VI Performance Products. The Company is reporting financial information (revenue through operating income) for these reporting segments in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Summary

Net earnings for fiscal year 2016 were $65.5 million ($1.04 per-share diluted), compared to $66.0 million ($1.05 per-share diluted) for the same period last fiscal year. The acquisitions of EpiWorks and ANADIGICS contributed approximately $13.9 million in revenues but were dilutive to earnings. Including the operating losses of these two acquisitions, as well as acquisition related expenses and one-time severance expenses, the negative impact of these acquisitions to the Company’s results of operations during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 was $20.2 million, or $0.32 per share diluted. Offsetting the losses from the recent acquisitions were strong financial results experienced by the Company’s II-VI Photonics segment. This segment realized revenue increases of over 25% during the current fiscal year compared to last fiscal year which drove stronger earnings from the incremental margins realized. The revenue increase for this segment was driven by broad-based demand across the whole spectrum of optical communication markets, including data center infrastructure build-outs, China broadband initiatives and continued expansion of undersea network deployment. The current year operating results included increased income tax expense as the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $8.5 million or $0.14 per share diluted on certain U.S. based deferred income tax assets.

Consolidated

Bookings. Bookings are defined as customer orders received that are expected to be converted to revenues over the next twelve months. For long-term customer orders, the Company does not include in bookings the portion of the customer order that is beyond

33


 

twelve months, due to the inherent uncertainty of such an order that far out in the future.  Bookings for the year ended June 30, 2016 increased 15% to $875.3 million, compared to $761.7 million for the same period last fiscal year. All of the Company’s operating segments experienced stronger booking volumes compared to last year. The increase in bookings was primarily lead by II-VI Photonics which realized increased bookings of $89.3 million or 32% over the prior fiscal year. This segment has continued to experience strong orders from the China broadband buildout program as well as increased demand for 100G metro deployments in the United States and continued demand for products that serve the data center expansion. 

Revenues. Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2016 increased 11% to $827.2 million, compared to $742.0 million for the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenues for the year ended June 30, 2016 was driven by optical and data communication markets continuing to undergo a cycle of investment and expansion. The Company’s II-VI Photonics segment has capitalized on these markets dynamics and realized increased revenues of $65.1 million for the current fiscal year compared to last fiscal year.   

Gross margin. Gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2016 was $312.8 million, or 37.8%, of total revenues, compared to $271.6 million, or 36.6%, of total revenues for the same period last fiscal year.  The improvement in gross margin for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to last fiscal year was primarily driven by incremental margins realized on the Company’s higher revenue levels as well as product mix at II-VI Photonics towards higher margin products relating to 980 nm pumps and undersea network deployments. The inclusion of the recent acquisitions did not have a material impact to the current year’s gross margin but going forward, the Company’s anticipates the margin to be impacted somewhat by the lower margin profile that each of EpiWorks and ANADIGICS historically has realized.

Internal research and development. Company-funded internal research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 were $60.4 million, or 7.3% of revenues, compared to $51.3 million, or 6.9% of revenues, last fiscal year.  The increase in internal research and development expense is the result of the Company’s continued investments in the development of the technology required to fabricate VCSELs in large volume for future applications as well as new product introductions across the Company’s business units. The Company anticipates the internal research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues to continue to increase as the Company continues to invest in its growth strategy around high-volume VCSELs platform.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the year ended June 30, 2016 were $160.6 million, or 19.4% of revenues, compared to $143.5 million, or 19.3% of revenues, last fiscal year. The increase in SG&A expense in relative dollars was primarily due to the current year acquisitions’ transaction expenses and severance totaling approximately $11.3 million. The remaining increase in relative dollars was to support a higher revenue base in the current fiscal year.   

Interest and other, net. Interest and other, net for the year ended June 30, 2016 was expense of $1.9 million compared to income of $2.3 million last fiscal year.  Included in interest and other, net for the year ended June 30, 2016 were earnings on the Company’s equity interest in Guangdong Fuxin Electronic Technology (“Fuxin”), interest expense on borrowings, interest income on excess cash reserves, and unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s deferred compensation plan and foreign currency gains and losses. The current fiscal year expense of $1.9 million includes $3.1 million of interest expense on the Company’s outstanding borrowings offset by $1.2 million of interest income on the Company’s excess cash reserves. The prior year’s income of $2.3 million primarily included a one-time settlement gain of $7.7 million related to certain payment obligations from prior year acquisitions offset by foreign currency losses of $2.2 million and $2.0 million impairment charge on certain tradenames in the II-VI Photonics segment.

Income taxes. The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at June 30, 2016 was 27.3%, compared to an effective tax rate of 16.6% last fiscal year. The variation between the Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations and the U.S. statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to the Company’s foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates. The higher effective tax rate during the current fiscal year is due to an $8.5 million valuation allowance against certain U.S. based deferred tax assets.

Segment Reporting

Bookings, revenues and operating income for each of the Company’s reportable segments are discussed below. Operating income differs from income from operations in that operating income excludes certain operational expenses included in other expense (income) – net as reported. Management believes operating income to be a useful measure for investors, as it reflects the results of segment performance over which management has direct control and is used by management in its evaluation of segment performance. See “Note 11. Segment and Geographic Reporting,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the Company’s reportable segments and for the reconciliation of operating income to net earnings, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company’s II-VI Laser Solutions segment includes the combined operations of II-VI Infrared Optics, II-VI HIGHYAG, II-VI Laser Enterprise, II-VI Suwtech and, II-VI LaserTech, II-VI OptoElectronic Devices Division, and II-VI EpiWorks. The Company acquired II-VI EpiWorks on February 1, 2016 and II-VI OptoElectronic Devices Division, formerly known as ANADIGICS, on March 15, 2016.

Bookings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 for II-VI Laser Solutions increased 7% to $306.0 million, compared to $284.8 million last fiscal year. Included in the current year’s bookings amounts was $14.3 million of bookings attributed to the current year acquisitions.  Exclusive of this amount, bookings increased approximately $6.9 million driven by demand for one-micron components for the industrial materials processing market as well higher aftermarket demand for the segment’s CO2 laser optics.  

Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 for II-VI Laser Solutions increased 5% to $303.0 million, compared to revenues of $287.9 million last fiscal year. Included in the current year’s revenue amount was $13.9 million of revenue attributed to the current year acquisitions.  Exclusive of this amount, revenues were consistent with that of the prior fiscal year levels.  

Operating income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 for II-VI Laser Solutions decreased 34% to $36.2 million, compared to $55.0 million last fiscal year. The decrease in operating income compared to last fiscal year was primarily due to the inclusion of the operating results of the current year acquisitions.  Operating income was also negatively impacted by acquisition related transaction and severance expenses of $11.3 million.

Consolidated

Bookings. Bookings for the year ended June 30, 2015 increased 10% to $761.7 million, compared to $691.3 million for the 2014 fiscal year. The increase in bookings was mostly attributable to a full year of bookings from the acquisitions of II-VI Laser Enterprise and II-VI Network Solutions. In addition, the II-VI HIGHYAG business within the II-VI Laser Solutions segment recorded increased bookings for fiber beam delivery systems and laser processing heads used in automotive manufacturing.

Revenues. Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2015 increased 9% to $742.0 million, compared to $683.3 million for fiscal year June 30, 2014. The increase in revenues was mostly attributable to a full year of revenues from the acquisitions of II-VI Laser Enterprise and II-VI Network Solutions. In addition, increased revenues at II-VI HIGHYAG from the automotive markets as well as

36


 

higher revenues at II-VI Photonics driven by increased demand across a variety of products, such as optical components and modules required by global cable television operators for their broadband initiatives and ongoing investments drove this increase. Somewhat offsetting these higher revenue levels was a decrease in shipment volumes at the Company’s military related businesses, driven primarily by reduced U.S. defense spending.

Gross margin. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2015 was 36.6%, compared to 33.2% for fiscal year June 30, 2014. The increase in gross margin during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of the incremental margin realized on the 9% revenue increase during this period and the elimination of unprofitable product lines. In addition, as noted above, the Company begun to realize synergies and operational improvements in connection with its fiscal year 2014 acquisitions, which resulted in higher margin levels. Gross margin for fiscal year 2014 was negatively impacted by a one-time purchase accounting fair market inventory adjustment of $4.1 million relating to the fiscal year 2014 acquisitions as well as product lines with lower margins.

Internal research and development. Company-funded internal research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2015 were $51.3 million, or 6.9% of revenues, compared to $42.5 million, or 6.2% of revenues, for fiscal year June 30, 2014. The increase in research and development expense as a percentage of revenues in fiscal year 2015 was due to a full year of internal research and development from businesses acquired in prior fiscal years, which invest in higher levels of research and development activity to support their ongoing product development of fiber and direct diode laser components, fiber optical amplifiers and micro-optics.

Selling, general and administrative. SG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 were $143.5 million, or 19.3% of revenues, compared to $137.7 million, or 20.2% of revenues, for fiscal year June 30, 2014. In relative dollar amounts, the increase in SG&A expenses was the result of increased expenses incurred to support an overall revenue base increase from the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced leverage improvement with respect to SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues through synergies, cost savings and restructuring programs undertaken during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Interest and other, net. Interest and other, net for the year ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was income of $2.3 million compared to expense of $0.8 million for the prior fiscal year. Other income of $2.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of a one-time settlement income of $7.7 million (pre-tax, $7.1 million after tax) related to certain payment obligations from the prior fiscal year acquisitions offset by foreign currency losses of $2.2 million due to weakened foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar and a $2.0 million impairment recorded during the fiscal year 2015 for the write-off of certain tradenames in the II-VI Photonics segment. Included in interest and other, net for the year ended June 30, 2015 were earnings from the Company’s equity investment in Fuxin, interest expense on borrowings, interest income on excess cash reserves, unrealized gains on the Company sponsored deferred compensation plan, foreign currency gains and losses.   

Income taxes. The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at June 30, 2015 was 16.6%, compared to an effective tax rate of 16.0% in fiscal year 2014. The variation between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35% was primarily due to the Company’s foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates. The year-to-date effective tax rate between the two fiscal years was consistent.

Company Credit Facilities

The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility), which was in effect through the period covered by this report, provided for a revolving credit facility of $225 million, as well as a $100 million term loan (“the Term Loan”). The Term Loan was being re-paid 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 $5.0 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 were due and payable on the maturity date. The Credit Facility was unsecured, but was guaranteed by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company. The Company had 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 had a five-year term through September 10, 2018 and had 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 was selected for a borrowing, the Applicable Margin would have been 0.00% to 0.075% and if the Euro-Rate Option was selected for a borrowing, the Applicable Margin would have been 0.75% to 1.75%. The Applicable Margin was based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA. Additionally, the Credit facility was subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. As of June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

In conjunction with the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the Company incurred approximately $1.0 million of deferred financing costs which were being amortized over the term of the agreement. As a result of the overall increase in borrowing capacity, existing deferred financing costs at the time of the amendment of $0.5 million were also being amortized over the term of the Credit Facility.

The Company’s yen denominated line of credit is a 500 million Yen ($4.9 million) facility. The Yen line of credit was extended in September 2015 through August 2020 on substantially the same terms. The interest rate equal to LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 0.625% to 1.50%. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had 300 million yen outstanding under the line of credit. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $2.9 million outstanding and was in compliance with all financial covenants under its Yen facility.

The Company had aggregate availability of $37.7 million and $116.6 million under its lines of credit as of June 30, 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 June 30, 2016 and 2015, total outstanding letters of credit supported by the Credit Facility 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 years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

In August 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $50.0 million of its Common Stock. The repurchase program has no expiration date and provides for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time. Shares purchased by the Company are retained as treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased 380,538 shares of its Common Stock for $6.3 million under this repurchase program. Since inception of the repurchase program the Company has repurchased 1,316,587 shares of its Common Stock for approximately $19.0 million.

On July 28, 2016, subsequent to fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amended Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility of $325 million (increased from $225 million), as well as a $100 million term loan, which mature on July 27, 2021. The term loan is to be re-paid in quarterly principal payments of $5.0 million commencing in October 2016, with any remaining principal due on the maturity date. The Amended Credit Facility is unsecured, but is guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing or subsequently acquired or organized wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The Company may request an increase to the size of the Amended Credit Facility in an aggregate additional amount not to exceed $100 million. Amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%-2.25% based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA.

40


 

The Amended Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, repurchases of the Company’s common stock and transactions with affiliates. The covenants permit the Company to use proceeds of the Amended Credit Facility for the repayment of existing indebtedness, permitted acquisitions, working capital and capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes. The Amended Credit Facility also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 4.0 and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.25. In conjunction with the new credit facility, the Company incurred $1.4 million of deferred financing costs which will be amortized over the term of the new facility.

The Company believes cash flow from operations, existing cash reserves and additional available borrowing capacity from its new credit facility will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs, capital expenditures and internal and external growth for fiscal year 2017. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances are generated and held in numerous locations throughout the world, including amounts held outside the U.S. As of June 30, 2016, the Company held approximately $177 million of cash and cash equivalents outside of the U.S. Cash balances held outside the United States could be repatriated to the U.S., but, under current law, would potentially be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes related to the majority of its undistributed earnings outside of the U.S., as the majority of the earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements include the operating lease obligations and the purchase obligations disclosed in the contractual obligations table below as well as letters of credit as discussed in Note 6 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company enters into these off-balance sheet arrangements to acquire goods and services used in its business.

(1)

Variable rate interest obligations are based on the interest rate in place at June 30, 2016 and relate to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility.  

(2)

Includes an obligation for the use of two parcels of land related to II-VI Performance Metals. The lease obligations extend through years 2039 and 2056, respectively.

(3)

A purchase obligation is defined as an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; minimum or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the transaction. These amounts are primarily comprised of open purchase order commitments to vendors for the purchase of supplies and materials.

(4)

Includes cash earnout opportunities based upon II-VI EpiWorks for the achievement of certain agreed upon financial and operational targets for capacity, wafer output and gross margin.

Pension obligations are not included in the table above. The Company expects defined benefit plan employer contributions to be $2.5 million in 2017. Estimated funding obligations are determined by asset performance, workforce and retiree demographics, tax and employment laws and other actuarial assumptions which may change the annual funding obligations. The funded status of our defined benefit plans is disclosed in Note 14 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

41


 

The gross unrecognized income tax benefits at June 30, 2016, which are excluded from the above table, were $5.6 million. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount by which the liability will increase or decrease over time; however, at this time, the Company does not expect a significant payment related to these obligations within the next fiscal year.

Item 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISKS

The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Company uses certain techniques and a derivative financial instrument as part of its overall risk management strategy, primarily focused on its exposure to the Japanese Yen. The Company also has transactions denominated in Euros, British Pounds Sterling, Chinese Renminbi and Swiss Francs. No significant changes have occurred in the techniques and instruments used by the Company during the current fiscal year.

Foreign Exchange Risks

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with its financial institutions. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge ordinary business risks regarding foreign currencies on product sales. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency rates. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts provide the Company with an economic hedge in which settlement will occur in future periods, thereby limiting the Company’s exposure. These contracts had a total notional amount of $9.2 million and $10.8 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of the parties to these contracts. While the Company may be exposed to potential losses due to risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to these financial instruments, it does not currently anticipate such losses.

A 10% change in the yen to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have changed revenues in the range from a decrease of approximately $5.2 million to an increase of approximately $6.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2016.

The Company has short-term intercompany notes that are denominated in U.S. dollars with certain European subsidiaries. A 10% change in the euro to dollar exchange rate would have changed net earnings in the range from a decrease of $1.8 million to an increase of $2.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2016.

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate, while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.

Interest Rate Risks

As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s total borrowings of $235.9 million were from a line of credit borrowing of $188.0 million denominated in U.S. dollars, a term loan denominated in U.S. dollars of $45.0 million and a line of credit borrowing of $2.9 million denominated in Japanese yen. As such, the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates. A change in the interest rate of 100 basis points on these borrowings would have changed net earnings by $2.0 million, or $0.02 per-share diluted, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Discount Rate Risks

During fiscal year 2016, the discount rate for the Switzerland Defined Benefit Plan was decreased from 1.10% at June 30, 2015 to 0.30% at June 30, 2016 resulting from a decrease in the yield on the 20-year Switzerland government bond. The resulting change to the discount rate increased the unfunded pension liability to $18.2 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $10.0 million at June 30, 2015.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA  

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management’s Responsibility for Preparation of the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts that are based on the best estimates and judgments of management. The other financial information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is consistent with the financial statements.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance concerning the reliability of the financial data used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, as well as reasonable assurance with respect to safeguarding the Company’s assets from unauthorized use or disposition.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation and other results of such systems.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Management’s evaluation included reviewing the documentation of its controls, evaluating the design effectiveness of controls and testing their operating effectiveness. Management excluded from the scope of its assessment of internal control over financial reporting the operations and related assets of II-VI EpiWorks which was acquired on February 1, 2016, and ANADIGICS which was acquired on March 15, 2016. The recent acquisitions excluded from management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting represented approximately $101.4 million and $81.3 million of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2016 and approximately $13.9 million and $11.0 million of total revenues and net losses, respectively, for the fiscal year then ended. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that as of June 30, 2016, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective and provide reasonable assurance that the accompanying financial statements do not contain any material misstatement.

Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued its report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. Its report is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries

We have audited II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of II-VI EpiWorks and ANADIGICS, which is included in the 2016 consolidated financial statements of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries and constituted $101.4 million and $81.3 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2016 and $13.9 million and $11.0 million of revenues and net losses, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of II-VI EpiWorks and ANADIGICS.

In our opinion, II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016 of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries and our report dated August 26, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries at June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated August 26, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

II-VI Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1.

Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business. II-VI Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a global leader in engineered materials and optoelectronic components and devices, is a vertically-integrated manufacturing company that develops innovative products for diversified applications in the industrial, optical communications, military, life sciences, semiconductor equipment and consumer markets. The Company markets its products through its direct sales force and through distributors and agents.

The Company uses certain uncommon materials and compounds to manufacture its products. Some of these materials are available from only one proven outside source. The continued high quality of these materials is critical to the stability of the Company’s manufacturing yields. The Company has not experienced significant production delays due to a shortage of materials. However, the Company does occasionally experience problems associated with vendor-supplied materials not meeting specifications for quality or purity. A significant failure of the Company’s suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of necessary high-quality materials on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Principles of Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States  (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation. For II-VI Singapore Pte., Ltd. and its subsidiaries, II-VI Suisse S.a.r.l. and II-VI Laser Enterprise of the II-VI Laser Solutions segment, II-VI Network Solutions Division of the II-VI Photonics segment, and II-VI Performance Metals of the II-VI Performance Products segment the functional currency is the United States (U.S.) dollar. The determination of the functional currency is made based on the appropriate economic and management indicators.

For all other foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We place our cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions and to date have not experienced credit losses in these instruments. Cash of foreign subsidiaries is on deposit at banks in China, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, the Philippines, Belgium, Italy, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and South Korea.

Accounts Receivable. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and believes the collection of revenues, net of this allowance, is reasonably assured.

The Company factored a portion of the accounts receivable of its Japan subsidiary during each of the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Factoring is done with high credit quality financial institutions in Japan. During the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, $20.5 million and $17.8 million, respectively, of accounts receivable had been factored. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the amount included in other accrued liabilities representing the Company’s obligation to the bank for these receivables factored with recourse was immaterial.

Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (“LCM”), with cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Market cannot exceed the net realizable value (i.e., estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predicted costs of completion and disposal) and market shall not be less than net realizable value reduced by an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin. In evaluating LCM, management also considers, if applicable, other factors as well, including known trends, market conditions, currency exchange rates and other such issues. The Company records an inventory reserve as a charge against earnings for all products on hand more than twelve to twenty-four months depending on the products that have not been sold to customers or cannot be further manufactured for sale to alternative customers. An additional reserve is recorded for product on hand that is in excess of product sold to customers over the same periods noted above. Inventories are presented net of reserves. The reserves totaled $17.7 million and $22.3 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

51


 

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost or fair market value upon acquisition. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred. The Company reviews its property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for building, building improvements and land improvements of 10 to 20 years and 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment.

Business Combinations. The Company accounts for business acquisitions by establishing the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Certain provisions of U.S. GAAP prescribe, among other things, the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration) and the exclusion of transaction and acquisition-related restructuring costs from acquisition accounting. The Company accounts for contingent consideration received in accordance with the “Loss Recovery Approach” under U.S. GAAP. Contingent consideration is accounted for as a gain contingency and not recognized until all contingencies have been satisfied.

Goodwill. The excess purchase price over the fair market value allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible net assets of businesses acquired is reported as goodwill in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually as of April 1, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the Company’s reporting units to the recorded value (including goodwill). The Company uses a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model and a market analysis to determine the current fair value of its reporting units. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in estimating the forecasted cash flows used in the DCF model, including markets and market shares, sales volume and pricing, costs to produce, working capital changes and income tax rates. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of the reporting units are estimated.

The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill prior to completing the two-step process described above to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If the Company concludes that this is the case, it must perform the two-step process. Otherwise, the Company will forego the two-step process and does not need to perform any further testing.

Intangibles. Intangible assets are initially recorded at their cost or fair market value upon acquisition. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 5 to 20 years. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but tested annually for impairment at April 1, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that indefinite-lived intangible assets might be impaired.

Equity Method Investments. The Company has an equity investment in Guangdong Fuxin Electronic Technology (“Fuxin”) based in Guangdong Province, China of 20.2%, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The total carrying value of the investment recorded at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 was $11.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s pro-rata share of earnings from this investment was less than $0.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and was recorded in other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. During the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 the Company recorded dividends from this equity investment of $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. The Company had no loss contingency liabilities at June 30, 2016 related to commitments and contingencies.

Accrued Bonus and Profit Sharing Contribution. The Company records bonus and profit sharing estimates as a charge against earnings. These estimates are adjusted to actual based on final results of operations achieved during the fiscal year. Certain partial bonus amounts are paid on an interim basis, and the remainder is paid after the fiscal year end after the final determination of the applicable percentage or amounts. Other bonuses are paid annually.

Warranty Reserve. The Company records a warranty reserve as a charge against earnings based on a percentage of revenues utilizing actual returns over a period that approximates historical warranty experience with adjustments possible for changes in product lines or unusual conditions that come to the Company’s attention.  

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount more likely than not

52


 

to be realized. The Company adopted an accounting policy to apply acquired deferred tax liabilities to pre-existing deferred tax assets before evaluating the need for a valuation allowance for acquired deferred tax assets.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted for changes in facts and circumstances. For example, adjustments could result from significant amendments to existing tax law and the issuance of regulations or interpretations by the taxing authorities, new information obtained during a tax examination, or resolution of an examination. The Company believes that its estimates for uncertain tax positions are appropriate and sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examinations of its tax returns. The Company recognizes both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenues for product shipments when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the product has been shipped or delivered, the sale price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss passes from the Company to its customer at the time of shipment in most cases with the exception of certain customers. For these customers, title does not pass and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the product at its physical location.

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and believe the collection of revenues, net of this reserve, is reasonably assured. Our reserve estimate has historically been proven to be materially correct based upon actual charges incurred.

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistently applied across the Company’s segments, product lines and geographical locations. Further for the periods covered herein, we did not have post shipment obligations such as training or installation, customer acceptance provisions, credits and discounts, rebates and price protection, or other similar privileges. Our distributors and agents are not granted price protection. Our distributors and agents, which comprise less than 10% of consolidated revenues, have no additional product return rights beyond the right to return defective products covered by our warranty policy. Revenues generated from transactions other than product shipments are contract related and have historically accounted for less than 2% of consolidated revenues. We believe our revenue recognition practices have adequately considered the requirements under U.S. GAAP.

Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Total shipping and handling revenue and costs included in revenues and in selling, general and administrative expenses were not significant for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Research and Development. Internal research and development costs and costs not related to customer and government funded research and development contracts are expensed as incurred.

Share-Based Compensation.  Share-based compensation arrangements requires the recognition of the grant-date fair value of stock compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period.

Workers’ Compensation. The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to workers’ compensation for the majority of its U.S. employees. When estimating the self-insurance liability, the Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic and severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party consultants. At least annually, management reviews its assumptions and valuations to determine the adequacy of the self-insurance liability.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Accumulated other comprehensive income is a measure of all changes in shareholders’ equity that result from transactions and other economic events in the period other than transactions with owners. Accumulated other comprehensive income is a component of shareholders’ equity and consists of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments of ($6.2) million and $9.5 million as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and pension adjustments of ($7.8) million and ($0.8) million as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are required to be recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact, and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

53


 

Leases. The Company classifies leases as operating in accordance with the provisions of lease accounting. Rent expense under noncancelable operating leases with scheduled rent increases or rent holidays is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term, beginning on the date of initial possession or the effective date of the lease agreement. The amount of the excess of straight-line rent expense over scheduled payments is recorded as a deferred liability. The current portion of unamortized deferred lease costs is included in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

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 early adopted this standard and 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 May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments in the update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this update affect only narrow aspects of Topic 606. The update will be effective for the Company’s 2019 fiscal year. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, 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 eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest. The ASU also requires unrealized holding gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income related to an available for sale security that becomes eligible for the equity method to be recognized in earnings when it qualifies for the equity method. The standard will be effective for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year. 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.

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

54


 

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. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions/Divesture

Acquisition of 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 in the amount of $2.0 million for the achievement of each specific annual 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, primarily relating to the valuation of the earnout arrangement as well as deferred income taxes.

The goodwill of $27.6 million is included in the II-VI Laser Solutions segment and is attributed to the expected synergies and the assembled workforce of EpiWorks. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of accounts receivable acquired was $2.1 million with the gross contractual amount being $2.1 million. At the time of acquisition, the Company expected to collect all of the accounts receivable. The Company expensed transaction costs of $0.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2016.

The amount of revenues and net loss of EpiWorks included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings were $2.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2016.

Acquisition of ANADIGICS, Inc.

In March 2016, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of ANADIGICS (Nasdaq:ANAD), which was a publicly traded company based in New Jersey. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the consideration consisted of both a working capital advance of $3.5 million and cash paid of $78.2 million at the acquisition date, 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, at the time of the acquisition, ANADIGICS designed and manufactured innovative radio frequency (RF) solutions for CATV infrastructure, small-cell, WIFI and cellular markets. The Company divested this portion of the business in June 2016. In conjunction with the sale of the RF business, the Company renamed ANADIGICS as II-VI Optoelectronic Devices Division. OED 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, primarily relating to the valuation of property, plant and equipment as well as deferred income taxes.

The following adjustments were made at June 30, 2016 to ANADIGICS’ preliminary opening balance sheet from the preliminary balances recorded at March 31, 2016:

56


 

 

·

The carrying amount of property, plant & equipment decreased $15.7 million to reflect further refinement of the valuation procedures employed and reflected increased levels of economic obsolescence. 

 

·

The identifiable intangible assets decreased $22.5 million.

 

·

The carrying amount of goodwill increased $27.3 million.

The impact of the changes was not material to either depreciation expense or amortization expense as the acquisition occurred on March 15, 2016.

The goodwill of $48.3 million is included in the II-VI Laser Solutions segment and is attributed to the expected synergies and the assembled workforce of ANADIGICS. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. In conjunction with the June 3, 2016 sale of the RF business noted below, the Company disposed of $35.4 million of goodwill. The fair value of accounts receivable acquired was $4.0 million with the gross contractual amount being $4.0 million. At the time of acquisition, the Company expected to collect all of the accounts receivable. The Company expensed transaction costs of $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2016.

The amount of revenues and net loss of ANADIGICS included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings were $11.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2016.

Deferred Income Taxes

In connection with above acquisitions, the Company adopted an accounting policy to apply acquired deferred tax liabilities to pre-existing deferred tax assets before evaluating the need for a valuation allowance for acquired deferred tax assets. During fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a $36.2 million valuation allowance within purchase accounting as a result of the Company incurring a cumulative U.S. three year loss. 

Pro Forma Information (Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the year ended June 30, 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 $3.3 million (net of tax) recorded in Selling, general and administrative in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended June 30, 2016 were only included in the earliest period presented below ($000 except per share data).

Divesture of the RF Business of ANADIGICS

On June 3, 2016, the Company sold the RF business of ANADIGICS that it acquired on March 15, 2016.  The consideration consisted of $45.0 million of cash received at closing, a working capital adjustment of $0.6 million to be received within 60 days after closing and $5.0 million contingent consideration to be earned based upon supplying minimum volumes of wafers to the purchaser over an 18-month period through December 2017. The $5.0 million contingent consideration will be recognized in net earnings when earned and received from the purchaser. The Company believes the sale of this non-strategic business will allow the Company to focus its financial resources and devote greater attention to the 6-inch wafer fab business. The Company incurred approximately $0.4 million in transaction expenses and recorded an immaterial gain of less than $0.1 million on the sale of the RF business.

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 & equipment in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 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.

Depreciation expense was $44.3 million, $41.1 million and $41.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Included in the cost and accumulated depreciation of property, plant and equipment is the effect of foreign currency translation on the portion relating to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based upon fair market value at the date of acquisition.

58


 

In connection with the two acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded the excess purchase price over the net assets of the business acquired as goodwill in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the preliminary purchase price allocation.

In connection with the sale of ANADIGICS’ RF business on June 3, 2016, the Company disposed of $35.4 million of goodwill attributed to the RF business that was sold.  The goodwill allocated to the RF business of ANADIGICS was based on a relative fair value allocation approach in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance.

The Company reviews the recoverability of goodwill at least annually and any time business conditions indicate a potential change in recoverability. The measurement of a potential impairment begins with comparing the current fair value of the Company’s reporting units to the recorded value (including goodwill). The Company used a discounted cash flow (DCF) model and a market analysis to determine the current fair value of all its reporting units. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in estimating the forecasted cash flows used in the DCF model, including markets and market shares, sales volume and pricing, costs to produce, working capital changes and income tax rates. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of the reporting units are estimated. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill and other intangible assets. As of April 1 of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, the Company completed its annual impairment tests of its reporting units. Based on the results of these analyses, the Company’s goodwill was not impaired.

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

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $12.3 million, $12.0 million, and $11.3 million, respectively. The technology and patents are being amortized over a range of 60 to 240 months with a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 101 months. The customer lists are being amortized over 60 to 240 months with a weighted-average remaining life of approximately 144 months.

In conjunction with the acquisitions of EpiWorks and ANADIGICS, the Company recorded $4.6 million of technology and patents, $10.3 million of customer lists, and $0.3 million of trade names. 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 acquisitions.

59


 

In connection with past acquisitions, the Company acquired trade names with indefinite lives. The carrying amount of these trade names of $14.1 million as of June 30, 2016 is not amortized but tested annually for impairment. The Company completed its impairment test of these trade names with indefinite lives in the fourth quarter of fiscal years 2016 and 2015. Based on the results of these tests, the trade names were not impaired in fiscal year 2016.  

During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized an impairment charge on two of its indefinite lived trade names in the II-VI Photonics reporting unit as these trade names were abandoned as a result of the Company’s rebranding efforts. Total impairment recorded during the year ended June 30, 2015 was $2.0 million, which represented the entire carrying value of these two trade names and was recorded in other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Included in the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s technology and patents, customer list and other component of intangible assets and goodwill is the effect of the foreign currency translation on the portion relating to the Company’s German and China subsidiaries. The estimated amortization expense for existing intangible assets for each of the five succeeding years is 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”). 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. The Credit Facility is unsecured, but is guaranteed by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has the option to request an increase to the size of the Amended Credit Facility in an aggregate additional amount not to exceed $100 million. The Credit Facility has a five-year term through September 10, 2018. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility are due and payable on the maturity date 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 June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.   

The Company’s Yen denominated line of credit is a 500 million Yen ($4.9 million) facility. The Yen line of credit was extended in September 2015 through August 2020 on substantially the same terms. The interest rate equal to LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 0.625% to 1.50%. At  June 30, 2016 the Company had 300 million yen outstanding under the line of credit. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $2.9 million outstanding and was in compliance with all financial covenants under its Yen facility.

The Company had aggregate availability of $37.7 million and $116.6 million under its lines of credit as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The amounts available under the Company’s lines of credit are reduced by outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, total outstanding letters of credit supported by the credit facilities were $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

The weighted-average interest rate of total borrowings for each of the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 1.6% and 1.8%, respectively. The weighted-average of total borrowings for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $193.7 million and $210.0 million, respectively.

The Company has a line of credit facility with a Singapore bank which permits maximum borrowings in the local currency of approximately $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Borrowings are payable upon demand with interest charged at the rate of 1.00% above the bank’s prevailing prime lending rate. The interest rate was 5.25% at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility. The Company had $0.2 million of letters of credit supported by the Singapore line of credit facility as of June 30, 2016 and 2015.

There are no interim maturities or minimum payment requirements related to the credit facilities before their respective expiration dates. Interest and commitment fees paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $3.1 million and $4.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, net cash paid by the Company for income taxes was $18.5 million, $13.0 million, and $17.2 million, respectively.

Our foreign subsidiaries in the Philippines operate under various tax holiday arrangements.  The benefits of such arrangements phase out through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.  The impact of the tax holidays on our effective rate is a reduction in the rate of 0.37%, 0.22% and 0.12% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The cumulative amount of the Company’s foreign undistributed net earnings for which no deferred taxes have been provided was approximately $479 million at June 30, 2016. If the earnings of such foreign subsidiaries were not indefinitely reinvested, an additional deferred tax liability of approximately $89 million would have been required as of June 30, 2016. It is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest substantially all of its undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries; therefore, no provision has been made for future income taxes on the undistributed earnings of the majority of foreign subsidiaries, as they are considered indefinitely reinvested. The Company has provided a deferred tax liability for future income taxes on the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries as these earnings are planned to be repatriated.

The Company classifies all estimated and actual interest and penalties as income tax expense. During the fiscal years 2016 and 2014, there were no interest and penalties within income tax expense.  During the fiscal year 2015, there was a benefit of $0.1 million of interest and penalties within tax expense.  The Company had $0.1 million, $0.1 million, and $0.2 million of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The increase in the Company’s current year tax positions are the result of certain unrecognized tax benefits associated with transfer pricing. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. Including tax positions for which the Company determined that the tax position would not meet the more likely than not recognition threshold upon examination by the tax authorities based upon the technical merits of the position, the total estimated unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was approximately $4.6 million and $3.6 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company expects a decrease of $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months due to the expiration of statutes of limitation.  

Fiscal years 2013 to 2016 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2011 to 2016 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2007 to 2016 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company’s fiscal years 2011 and 2012 California and fiscal years 2012 through 2015 New Jersey state income tax returns are currently under examination. The Company’s Vietnam subsidiary has been notified of an examination to start in fiscal year 2017.

Share-Based Compensation Plans

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the II-VI Incorporated Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which was approved by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting in November 2014. The Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred shares, performance shares and performance share units to employees, officers and directors of the Company. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is limited to 4,900,000 shares of Common Stock, not including any remaining shares forfeited under the predecessor plans that may be rolled into the Plan. The Plan has vesting provisions predicated upon the death, retirement or

64


 

disability of the grantee. As of June 30, 2016, there were approximately 2,805,911 shares available to be issued under the Plan, including forfeited shares from predecessor plans.

The Company records share-based compensation expense for these awards which requires the recognition of the grant-date fair value of share-based compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. The Company accounts for cash-based stock appreciation rights, cash-based restricted share unit awards and cash-based performance share unit awards as liability awards, in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Share-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is as follows ($000):

The share-based compensation expense is allocated approximately 20% to cost of goods sold and 80% to selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, based on the employee classification of the grantees. Share-based compensation expense associated with liability awards was $1.2 million in fiscal year 2016 and $1.6 million in both fiscal years 2015 and 2014.

Stock Options and Cash-Based Stock Appreciation Rights:

The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock option expense. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the weighted-average fair value of options granted under the stock option plan was $7.35, $5.76 and $8.21, respectively, per option using the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Note rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant related to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate shown above is the weighted average rate for all options granted during the fiscal year. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The expected life calculation is based on the observed time to post-vesting exercise and/or forfeitures of options by our employees. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no current intention to pay cash dividends in the future. The estimated annualized forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and are estimated at a rate of 17.43%. The Company will record additional expense in future periods if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will adjust expense in future periods if the actual forfeitures are higher than estimated.

As of June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options and cash-based stock appreciation rights outstanding and exercisable was $10.1 million, $14.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the year ended June 30, 2016, and the option’s exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2016. This amount varies based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. The total intrinsic value of stock options and cash-based stock appreciation rights exercised during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $4.5 million, $2.9 million, and $3.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and cash-based stock appreciation rights was $7.2 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years. Outstanding and exercisable stock options at June 30, 2016 were as follows:

Restricted Share Awards and Cash-Based Restricted Share Unit Awards:

Restricted share awards and cash-based restricted share unit awards compensation expense was calculated based on the number of shares or units expected to be earned by the grantee multiplied by the stock price at the date of grant (for restricted share awards) or the stock price at the period end date (for cash-based restricted share unit awards), and is being recognized over the vesting period. Generally, the restricted share awards and restricted share unit awards have a three year cliff-vesting provision and an estimated forfeiture rate of 12.0%.

restricted share compensation expense was calculated based on the number of shares expected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the date of grant and is being recognized over the vesting period. The cash-based restricted share unit compensation expense was calculated based on the number of shares expected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the period-end date and is being recognized over the vesting period. The total fair value of the restricted share and cash-based restricted share unit awards granted during the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, was $6.3 million, $5.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The total fair value of restricted shares vested was $5.5 million, $5.1 million and $3.8 million during fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Performance Share Awards and Cash-Based Performance Share Unit Awards:

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has granted certain executive officers and employees performance share awards and performance share unit awards under the Plan. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding grants covering performance periods ranging from 24 to 36 months. These awards are intended to provide continuing emphasis on specified financial performance goals that the Company considers important contributors to the creation of long-term shareholder value. These awards are payable only if the Company achieves specified levels of financial performance during the performance periods.

The performance share compensation expense was calculated based on the number of shares expected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the date of grant, and is being recognized over the vesting period. The cash-based performance share unit compensation expense was calculated based on the number of shares expected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the period-end date, and is being recognized over the vesting period. Performance share and cash-based performance share unit award activity relating to the plan during the year ended June 30, 2016, was as follows:

As of June 30, 2016, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance share and cash-based performance share unit awards was $1.7 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately one year. The total fair value of the performance share and cash-based performance share unit awards granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2.4 million, $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The total fair value of performance shares vested during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $1.5 million, $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.  

For our relative Total Shareholder Return, or TSR, performance-based awards, which are based on market performance of our stock as compared to the Russel 2000 Index, the compensation cost is recognized over the performance period on a straight-line basis net of forfeitures, because the awards vest only at the end of the measurement period and the probability of actual shares expected to be earned is considered in the grant date valuation. As a result, the expense is not adjusted to reflect the actual shares earned. We estimate the fair value of the TSR performance-based awards using the Monte-Carlo simulation model.

Segment and Geographic Reporting

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The FASB defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous markets for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:

 

·

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

·

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

·

Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. At June 30, 2016, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts recorded at fair value. The fair values of these instruments were measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. The Company also had a contingent earnout arrangement which 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 for the achievement of each specific annual target over the next three years. The fair value of the contingent earnout arrangement was measured using valuations based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement (Level 3).

The following tables provide a summary by level of the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 ($000):

The Company’s policy is to report transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy at fair values as of the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur. There were no transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 among the fair value hierarchy and approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company’s borrowings are considered Level 2 among the fair value hierarchy and are variable interest rates and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate fair value.

 

Note 13.

Derivative Instruments

The Company, from time to time, purchases foreign currency forward exchange contracts, primarily in Japanese Yen, that permit it to sell specified amounts of these foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. These contracts are entered into to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates of export sales transactions in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company, on the basis of its aggregate net cash flows in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk.

The Company has recorded the fair market value of these contracts in the Company’s financial statements. These contracts had a total notional amount of $9.2 million and $10.8 million at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, these forward contracts had expiration dates ranging from July 2016 through October 2016, with Japanese Yen denominations individually between 200 million and 300 million Yen. The Company does not account for these contracts as hedges as defined by U.S. GAAP and records the change in the fair value of these contracts in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as they occur. The fair value measurement takes into consideration foreign currency rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties to these contracts, as applicable, and is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments and thus represents a Level 2 measurement. These contracts are recorded in other accrued liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the fair value of these contracts for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was insignificant.

 

Note 14.

Employee Benefit Plans

Eligible U.S. employees of the Company participate in a profit sharing retirement plan. Contributions accrued for the plan are made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and were $3.4 million, $2.8 million, and $2.5 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan available for employees who have completed six months of continuous employment with the Company. The employee may purchase the Company’s Common Stock at 5% below the prevailing market price. The amount of shares which may be bought by an employee during each fiscal year is limited to 10% of the employee’s base pay. This plan, as amended, limits the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase to 1,600,000 shares. There were 492,913 and 514,031 shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the plan at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Switzerland Defined Benefit Plan

In conjunction with the acquisition of II-VI Laser Enterprise in fiscal year 2014, the Company assumed a pension plan covering employees of our Swiss subsidiary (the “Swiss Plan”). Employer and employee contributions are made to the Swiss Plan based on various percentages of salary and wages that vary according to employee age and other factors. Employer contributions to the Swiss Plan for year ended June 30, 2016 were $2.0 million. Expected employer contributions in fiscal year 2017 are $2.5 million.

The funded status of the Swiss Plan in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

The projected and accumulated benefit obligations for the Swiss Plan were calculated as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 using the following assumptions:

The discount rate is based on assumed pension benefit maturity and estimates developed using the rate of return and yield curves for high quality Swiss corporate and government bonds. The fiscal year 2016 decrease in the discount rate was a result of a decrease in the yield on the 20-year Swiss government bond. As a result of the decrease in the Swiss Plan’s discount rate utilized in the current fiscal year the underfunded pension liability increased from the $10.1 million at the beginning of the fiscal year to $18.2 million at June 30, 2016. The salary increase rate is based on our best assessment for on-going increases over time. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on the expected asset allocation and taking into consideration historical long-term rates of return for the relevant asset categories.

As is customary with Swiss pension plans, the assets of the plan are invested in a collective fund with multiple employers. We have no investment authority over the assets of the plan that are held and invested by a Swiss insurance company. The Swiss Plan assets are measured at fair value and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The investment strategy of the Swiss Plan is managed by an independent asset manager with the objective of achieving a consistent long-term return which will provide sufficient funding for future pension obligations while limiting risk.  

The Swiss Plan is legally separate from II-VI, as are the assets of the plan. As of June 30, 2016, the Swiss Plan’s asset allocation was as follows:

Other Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has no program for post-retirement health and welfare benefits.

The II-VI Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”) is designed to allow officers and key employees of the Company to defer receipt of compensation into a trust fund for retirement purposes. Under the Compensation Plan, as it is currently implemented by the Company, eligible participants can elect to defer up to 100% of certain discretionary incentive compensation and certain equity awards into the Compensation Plan. The Compensation Plan is a nonqualified, defined contribution employees’ retirement plan. At the Company’s discretion, the Compensation Plan may be funded by the Company making contributions based on compensation deferrals, matching contributions and discretionary contributions. Compensation deferrals will be based on an election by the participant to defer a percentage of compensation under the Compensation Plan. All assets in the Compensation Plan are subject to claims of the Company’s creditors until such amounts are paid to the Compensation Plan participants. Employees of the Company made contributions to the Compensation Plan in the amounts of approximately $1.2 million,

$0.7 million, and $1.9 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. There were no employer contributions made to the Compensation Plan for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has purchase commitments for materials and supplies as part of the ordinary conduct of business. A portion of the commitments are long-term and are based on minimum purchase requirements. Certain short-term raw material purchase commitments have a variable price component which is based on market pricing at the time of purchase. Due to the proprietary nature of some of the Company’s materials and processes, certain contracts may contain penalty provisions for early termination. The Company does not believe that a significant amount of penalties are reasonably likely to be incurred under these commitments based upon historical experience and current expectation. Total future commitments are as follows:

Share Repurchase Programs

In August 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $50 million of its Common Stock. The repurchase program has no expiration and calls for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time. Shares purchased by the Company will be retained as treasury stock and available for general corporate purposes. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company purchased 380,538 and 936,049 shares of its Common Stock for $6.3 million and $12.7 million respectively, under this repurchase program.

Subsequent Events

 

On July 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”) which amended the related existing credit facility. The Amended Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility of $325 million (increased from $225 million), as well as a $100 million term loan, which mature, on July 27, 2021. The term loan is to be re-paid in quarterly principal payments commencing in October 2016, with any remaining principal due on the maturity date. The Amended Credit Facility is unsecured, but is guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing or subsequently acquired or organized wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The Company may request an increase to the size of the Amended Credit Facility in an aggregate additional amount not to exceed $100.0 million.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls’ stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance concerning the reliability of the financial data used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, as well as reasonable assurance with respect to safeguarding the Company’s assets from unauthorized use or disposition. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation and other results of such systems. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we

77


 

conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Management excluded from the scope of its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, the operations and related assets of II-VI EpiWorks which was acquired on February 1, 2016, and ANADIGICS which was acquired on March 15, 2016.  The recent acquisitions excluded from management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting represented approximately $101.4 million and $81.3 million of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2016 and approximately $13.9 million and $11.0 million of total revenues and net losses, respectively, for the fiscal year then ended. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that as of June 30, 2016, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective and provides reasonable assurance that the accompanying financial statements do not contain any material misstatement.

Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

The report of Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, with respect to our internal control over financial reporting is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
