Summary
Lumentum Holdings Inc. (LITE) reported its second quarter fiscal year 2019 results, ending December 29, 2018. The company experienced a significant year-over-year decline in revenue for the quarter, primarily driven by a decrease in sales of 3D sensing products for mobile devices. This was partially offset by an increase in Telecom product sales and the initial revenue contribution from the recently acquired Oclaro business. Despite the revenue decline, the company's six-month revenue showed an increase, primarily due to growth in Telecom products and the Oclaro acquisition. However, gross margins saw a notable decrease for both the quarter and the six-month period, largely attributed to lower-margin product sales and increased costs associated with the company's Thailand facility startup. Significant increases in Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses were also noted, largely due to acquisition-related costs and equity award acceleration following the Oclaro merger.

- 1Net revenue for the three months ended December 29, 2018, decreased by 7.6% to $373.7 million compared to $404.6 million in the prior year period.
