Jim Anderson, CEO, said, “We delivered strong growth in the December quarter on both a sequential and year-over-year basis, resulting in record revenue, driven by another quarter of strong AI-related Data Center demand as well as growth in our Telecom business. We also drove significant improvement in gross margin and operating margin. I would like to thank my Coherent teammates for their strong execution.”
Sherri Luther, CFO, said, “I am pleased by our profitability, cash generation and debt reduction in the second quarter. Revenue growth and margin expansion drove significant sequential and year-over-year increases in our GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS. We also paid down $132 million of our outstanding debt.”
