Financial Reporting

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is provided in the attached table.

Second Quarter 2017 Results

• Revenue was $19.7 million, compared to $21.6 million in Q2'16 and $21.2 million in Q1'17, reflecting lower European and North American product revenue slightly offset by increased service revenue.
• GAAP gross margin was 51.5%, compared to 46.7% in Q2'16 and 50.6% in Q1'17.  Non-GAAP gross margin was 51.6%, compared to 48.3% in Q2'16 and 50.6% in Q1'17. The increase was primarily due to greater service revenue at higher margins as well as the impact of geographic and product mix.
• GAAP operating expenses were $12.1 million, compared to $12.1 million in Q2'16 and $11.5 million in Q1'17.  Non-GAAP operating expenses were $10.5 million, compared to $11.8 million in Q2'16 and $10.9 million in Q1'17.
• GAAP operating loss was $1.9 million, compared to $2.1 million in Q2'16 and $0.8 million in Q1'17.  Non-GAAP operating loss was to $0.3 million, compared to $1.3 million in Q2'16 and $0.2 million in Q1'17.
• GAAP net loss increased to $2.1 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.29 per share, in Q2'16 and $1.0 million, or $0.15 per share, in Q1'17.
• Non-GAAP net loss was $0.4 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.19 per share, in Q2'16 and $0.5 million, or $0.08 per share, in Q1'17.

Non-GAAP Measures

The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share. The company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, litigation costs, severance and related transition costs, transaction costs and costs related to the sale of Tecnonet S.p.A., which the company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The company used these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal resource management, planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed in isolation from or as a substitute for the company's financial results in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is attached to this press release.

This press release may contain statements, including statements related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, statements regarding future financial and operating results of MRV, management's assessment of business trends, and other statements about management's future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects and those of the market segments in which MRV is engaged that are based on management's current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about MRV and its consolidated businesses and the respective market segments in which MRV's businesses operate, in addition to management's assumptions. Statements in this press release regarding MRV's future financial and operating results, which are not statements of historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "will likely result," "are expected to," " is anticipated," "appear," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "should," "outlook," "plan," "project," "contemplate," "target," "foresee," "goal," "likely," "will," and "would" or variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements which are not statements of historical facts. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance nor guarantees that the events anticipated will occur or expected conditions will remain the same or improve. These statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the likelihood of which are difficult to assess and may not occur, including risks that each of its business units may not make the expected progress in its respective market, or that management's long-term strategy may not achieve the expected results. Therefore, actual outcomes, performance and results may differ from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements, and such differences may vary materially from current expectations. 

With respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, there is no assurance that the transactions will be consummated. Potential risks and uncertainties related to such transactions include, among others, the impact of the announcement of the pending transactions on the Company's business, its financial and operating results and its employees, suppliers and customers; factors affecting the feasibility and timing of the consummation of the transactions, including, without limitation, the ability to satisfy the conditions to closing contained in the Merger Agreement and Offer; and risks related to realization of the expected benefits of these transactions to the Company and its stockholders.
