The tables above provide comparisons of quarterly results to prior periods, including sequential quarterly and year-over-year changes. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is contained in this release under the section titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Business Outlook

Lumentum expects the following for the fiscal third quarter 2023:

Net revenue in the range of $430 million to $460 million
Non-GAAP operating margin of 17% to 19%
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.00 to $1.15

We have not provided reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP measures for our outlook. A large portion of non-GAAP adjustments, such as restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments, acquisition related costs, and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, Lumentum provides investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures: gross profit, gross margin, research and development expense, selling, general and administrative expense, operating margin, income from operations, interest and other income (expense), net, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share on a non-GAAP basis, as well as the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Lumentum believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's ongoing business operations and results, as well as cash generation, and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's ongoing operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. In addition, the Company believes that providing certain of these measures allows investors to better understand the Company's cash flows and, importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such cash flows. However, these measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies.

Our non-GAAP measures used in this press release exclude (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) acquisition related costs, (iii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iv) amortization of acquired inventory fair value adjustments, (v) restructuring and related charges, (vi) foreign exchange (gains) losses, net, (vii) non-cash interest expense on convertible notes and other expenses, (viii) non-recurring expenses related to litigation matters, (ix) inventory and fixed assets write down due to product line exits, (x) integration related costs, (xi) non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments, and (xii) other (gains) charges related to non-recurring activities.

A quantitative reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial data with respect to historical periods is included in the supplemental financial table attached to this press release.

⁽¹⁾	Other gains (charges) excluded in deriving non-GAAP gross profit for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 primarily relate to $11.7 million and $19.0 million, respectively, of incremental charges to acquire components from various brokers to satisfy customer demand.

⁽²⁾	In connection with the NeoPhotonics merger, certain equity awards for NeoPhotonics employees were accelerated. The total stock-based compensation associated with the acceleration was $11.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, of which $9.0 million was settled in cash.

⁽³⁾	Acquisition related costs of $16.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2022 mainly include professional, advisory and legal service fees related to the merger with NeoPhotonics and the acquisition of IPG Photonics' telecom transmission product lines during the fiscal first quarter of 2023.

⁽⁴⁾	During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded restructuring and related charges of $13.9 million in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, which was primarily due to company-wide integration efforts as a result of the merger with NeoPhotonics, as well as our cost reduction initiatives.

	During the six months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded restructuring and related charges of $23.2 million in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, which was primarily attributable to company-wide integration efforts as a result of the merger with NeoPhotonics, our cost reduction initiatives, as well as severance and employee-related benefits associated with NeoPhotonics' executive severance and retention agreements. These agreements provide for payments and benefits upon an involuntary termination of employment under certain circumstances.

⁽⁵⁾	During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a charge of $7.8 million with respect to the settlement of certain non-ordinary course litigation matters.

⁽⁶⁾	Shares used for net income per share on non-GAAP basis include incremental dilutive shares that would occur upon conversion of our convertible notes assuming we settle the face value of the notes in cash as the Company intends, and shares related to restricted stock units ("RSUs") and shares issuable under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan that are anti-dilutive on GAAP basis.
