Q4 2012 revenues at EUR 80.3 million,
IFRS pro forma operating income of EUR 4.8 million (6.0% of revenues)
FY 2012 revenues at EUR 330.1 million,
IFRS pro forma operating income of EUR 21.8 million (6.6% of revenues)

between EUR 72 million and EUR 77 million with
IFRS pro forma operating income between -2% and +2% of revenues
Martinsried/Munich, Germany. February 28, 2013. ADVA Optical Networking
announced Q4 and audited full-year 2012 financial results for the period ended
December 31, 2012, and prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Q4 2012 IFRS FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenues totaled EUR 80.3 million in Q4 2012 and were in the upper half of
guidance of between EUR 77 million and EUR 82 million. Revenues are down 3.8%
vs. Q4 2011 at EUR 83.4 million and down 2.4% vs. Q3 2012 at EUR 82.3 million.
IFRS pro forma operating income, excluding stock-based compensation and
amortization & impairment of goodwill & acquisition-related intangible assets,
amounted to EUR 4.8 million in Q4 2012 or 6.0% of revenues, at the upper end of
guidance of between 2% and 6% of revenues. This compares to Q4 2011 IFRS pro
forma operating income of EUR 7.4 million or 8.9% of revenues, and to Q3 2012
IFRS pro forma operating income of EUR 5.6 million or 6.8% of revenues. These
developments are largely due to lower revenues and increased selling and
marketing expenses.
The IFRS operating income in Q4 2012 was EUR 4.3 million, down from EUR 6.7
million in Q4 2011. This is due to the above-mentioned reasons for lower pro
forma operating income.
The IFRS net income in Q4 2012 amounted to EUR 4.1 million after EUR 8.7 million
in Q4 2011. Beyond the reduced operating income, net foreign currency exchange
losses of EUR 0.1 million in Q4 2012 after gains of EUR 1.9 million in Q4 2011
contributed to this decrease. Basic and diluted IFRS net earnings per share were
EUR 0.09 and EUR 0.08, respectively, down from EUR 0.18 each in Q4 2011.
FULL-YEAR 2012 IFRS FINANCIAL RESULTS
Driven by increased Ethernet access business, revenues rose to a record high of
EUR 330.1 million in 2012, 6.2% above the EUR 310.9 million reported in 2011.
IFRS pro forma operating income increased from EUR 17.3 million or 5.6% of
revenues in 2011 to EUR 21.8 million or 6.6% of revenues in 2012. This
improvement is largely due to revenue and gross margin growth.
2012 IFRS operating income at EUR 18.8 million also increased significantly from
EUR 13.2 million in 2011. The main reason for this positive development is the
above-mentioned increase in pro forma operating income and a reduction in
amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions from EUR 2.5 million in
2011 to EUR 1.6 million in 2012.
Finally, IFRS net income amounted to EUR 16.7 million in 2012, slightly down vs.
EUR 16.9 million in 2011. The positive operating income development was mostly
compensated by income tax expenses of EUR 1.8 million after income tax benefits
of EUR 2.9 million in 2011. Furthermore, net foreign currency exchange gains of
EUR 0.8 million in 2012 were lower than the EUR 2.3 million recorded in 2011.
Basic and diluted IFRS net earnings per share were EUR 0.35 and EUR 0.34 in
2012, slightly down from EUR 0.36 and EUR 0.35, respectively, in 2011.
"We are very pleased with our Q4 2012 results which were achieved in a very
volatile macro-economic environment. At EUR 80.3 million, our Q4 2012 revenues
are in the upper half of guidance. Our pro forma gross margin strengthened from
39.3% in Q3 2012 and 40.0% in Q4 2011, to 41.8% in Q4 2012. Prior to
amortization of capitalized development expenses, pro forma gross margin
increased from 44.5% in Q3 2012 and 43.9% in Q4 2011, to 46.7% in Q4 2012. We
achieved pro forma operating income of 6.0% of revenues in Q4 2012, at the upper
end of guidance, demonstrating our focus on managing operational costs. In
addition, cash and cash equivalents were at another record high of EUR 70.6
million at the end of Q4 2012, slightly up from EUR 70.3 million at the end of
the previous quarter. Throughout the year, ADVA Optical Networking maintained
financial strength, with an equity ratio in excess of 50% and record high net
liquidity at the end of every quarter. At year-end 2012, net liquidity was at an
all-time high of EUR 41.6 million, up from EUR 41.3 million at the end of
Q3 2012. For the full year 2012, through a combination of revenue growth,
increased gross margins, and enhanced operational excellence, we were able to
further grow profitability. Pro forma operating income grew by 26%, from
EUR 17.3 million or 5.6% of revenues in 2011 to EUR 21.8 million or 6.6% of
revenues in 2012," commented Jaswir Singh, chief financial officer & chief
operating officer of ADVA Optical Networking.

Networking's website, www.advaoptical.com, located in the "About Us / Investor
Relations" section on the "Financial Results" page under "Conference Calls".
Q1 2013 OUTLOOK
In Q1 2013, ADVA Optical Networking expects revenues to range between EUR 72
million and EUR 77 million, and anticipates pro forma operating income of
between -2% and +2% of revenues. As a matter of caution, ADVA Optical Networking
notes that it will continue to perform quarterly reviews of the expected
business development with respect to all intangible assets, including
capitalized development expenses. In case of highly adverse business prospects,
these reviews may result in non-cash impairment charges in Q1 2013 and beyond.
The pro forma operating income guidance provided above excludes any such
potential impairment charges. ADVA Optical Networking will publish its Q1 2013
financial results on April 25, 2013.
"Despite the difficult macro-economic environment, we achieved our goal to grow
profitably. ADVA Optical Networking successfully recognizes and targets rapidly
changing technology trends and growth markets. We continue to be the multi-year
global market leader in Ethernet Access Devices with a market share of more than
20%, and remain a strong competitor in EMEA for metro optical transport
solutions. Although long-term growth perspectives continue to be strong, for
2013 we are likely to face significant volatility in our market. Current carrier
investment plans draw a mixed picture. However, an increasing share of the
carriers' spending will flow into the migration to LTE projects which should
translate into incremental business for ADVA Optical Networking. Beyond
potential full-year revenue growth, our focus on innovation and strategic
technology partnerships will result in an expanding share of higher-margin,
software-heavy applications as well as expanded service offerings, supporting
our long-term profitability commitment," stated Brian Protiva, chief executive
officer of ADVA Optical Networking.
