Summary
Ciena Corporation (CIEN) filed an 8-K on December 9, 2004, to announce its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The report primarily serves as a vehicle to furnish a press release detailing these financial outcomes, making the information available to investors and the public. While the 8-K itself does not contain the detailed financial statements, it points investors to the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1) for comprehensive figures and commentary on operations and financial condition. Investors should refer to the press release for specific revenue, profit, and loss figures for both the quarter and the fiscal year. This filing indicates that Ciena is providing an update on its performance and outlook. It is crucial for investors to consult the referenced press release for a thorough understanding of the company's financial health and any forward-looking statements or management discussions included therein, as the 8-K filing itself is limited in its disclosure beyond announcing the availability of these results.
