Frequently Asked Questions

Lumentum's primary revenue driver in fiscal year 2020 was its Optical Communications (OpComms) segment, which saw a 10.6% increase in net revenue. This growth was driven by strong sales in Telecom and Datacom products, partly due to the Oclaro acquisition, and an increase in 3D sensing products for mobile devices. The Lasers segment experienced a revenue decrease of 16.2%.

The acquisition of Oclaro, completed in December 2018, significantly strengthened Lumentum's OpComms product portfolio, particularly in indium phosphide laser and photonic integrated circuit capabilities. It contributed to the revenue growth in the OpComms segment and improved gross margins due to its higher-margin product offerings. However, it also led to increased operating expenses, notably in SG&A and amortization of acquired intangibles.

Key risks identified include the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operations and demand, intense competition leading to pricing pressures, reliance on a limited number of customers (such as Apple and Huawei), potential disruptions in the supply chain, and the complexity of integrating acquisitions. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and China, and trade policies pose risks, especially concerning sales to Chinese customers like Huawei.

Lumentum is focusing on technology and product leadership within its OpComms segment by developing more integrated products and focusing on higher-margin chip-level components for Datacom. They are also streamlining their product portfolio by divesting lower-margin or less strategic product lines, such as Lithium Niobate modulators and Datacom transceiver modules, to concentrate resources on core strengths and emerging growth areas like 3D sensing and 5G.
