With me today from EMCORE are Jeff Rittichier, President and CEO, and Mark Weinswig, Chief Financial Officer. Mark will begin with a review of the financial results and Jeff will discuss business highlights and fiscal third-quarter guidance before we open up the call to questions. Now I will turn the call over to Mark.

Thank you, Erica, and good afternoon everyone. Today I'm going to focus my discussion on our fiscal second-quarter operating results and our balance sheet. Please note that, consistent with the prior quarters, today's results include the effects of classifying our telecom division and photovoltaic segment as discontinued operations. Therefore, the continuing operations results we have released and we will discuss today are only for our remaining business.

Consolidated revenue for our fiscal second quarter totaled $21.5 million, which is a decrease of $1 million, or roughly 4%, over the prior quarter and in line with our Q2 2016 revenue guidance of $21 million to $24 million. Similar to last quarter, the results reflect demand in our CATV and components product lines despite seeing continuing pressure on our chips product lines. Jeff will discuss the outlook for the business later in the call.

Gross margins were 32.6%, roughly flat with the prior quarter. Lower revenues contributed to our gross margins being on the lower side of our target range of the mid-30s%. While we are implementing new strategies that should improve our operating model in future periods, those activities will lead to some additional costs in the next couple of quarters and take some time to realize. As a result, we would expect our gross margins to be in the low to mid 30s% for Q3 2016 excluding any unusual items.

In the cable TV product lines, over the past seven quarters, we have seen significant strength in our results, particularly in comparison to the tough times faced in 2012 and 2013. We are excited about the growth opportunities ahead with the migration to DOCSIS 3.1 and the further investment by the MSOs to increase the capacity of their networks for their customers.

For the chip level device products, as we have discussed in prior quarters, our revenues have grown significantly from two years ago. This quarter, we recognized revenues of approximately $4 million, roughly flat with the prior quarter, with the majority being from GPON applications. While pricing pressure has continued, we are seeing opportunities for new chip development. Jeff will discuss the opportunities for this product line later in the call.

Total operating expenses for R&D and SG&A were $7.4 million, flat from the prior quarter. In SG&A, we expensed approximately $0.3 million associated with our legal activity.

On a GAAP basis, the consolidated net income for the second quarter was $4 million, which includes $4.1 million of net income from discontinued operations primarily related to the favorable Sumitomo arbitration binding announced in April. Our GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $0.2 million, a $0.1 million deterioration from the prior quarter. Our non-GAAP income from continuing operations after excluding certain adjustments, all of which are set forth in the non-GAAP tables included in today's release, was $0.6 million versus $1.3 million in the prior quarter. The reduction was primarily related to lower revenues and gross profits.

Please note that we have included additional information regarding amortization, stock comp, legal related costs and other items in today's release to provide further clarity on our results.

Moving on to the balance sheet, at the end of March, the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance was over $110 million. The decrease in the cash balance from December was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory. Please note that the cash balance at March does not include any receipts of cash from the result of the Sumitomo arbitration that was announced in April.

The Board of Directors continues to evaluate strategic alternatives and opportunities to determine the best use of our cash. Once any decision is made, we will communicate this to our shareholders.

Regarding our working capital metrics, DSO were at 81 days, higher than our typical range of 65 to 70 days, due to the quarter's shipment being backend loaded. Inventory turns was at 3.5 times as we increased purchases of certain components which increased inventory levels.

Overall, for the second quarter, our financial results showed positive results in this typically seasonally weak quarter. The key financial highlights include our margins remaining consistent on lower revenues and our continuing operations being profitable on a non-GAAP basis.

On the operating expense area, as we discussed before, we saw higher levels of expenses in Q2 due to additional costs for legal activities and stock compensation. We believe our SG&A levels should remain relatively flat in 2016, excluding any unusual items relating to legal activities, including any gains from the expected receipt of cash relating to the expected reimbursement for the legal fees of the arbitration.

Turning to our operating model, our current model is to be at a breakeven level on a non-GAAP basis, excluding the items we noted earlier, at roughly $20 million per quarter of revenue depending on product mix and the timing of certain spending. During the second fiscal quarter, on $21.5 million of revenue, we realized $0.6 million of non-GAAP income from continuing operations. While we are pleased with the financial results, we believe that there are further opportunities to improve these.

With that, I will turn the call over to Jeff who will discuss the Company's strategic and operating initiatives and provide revenue guidance for the third quarter. Jeff?

Thank you Mark and good afternoon everyone. I thought I'd take a moment to walk you through a few observations on each of our businesses as well as update you on the various operational improvements and initiatives that we have underway.

Starting with our cable television business, which is our largest by revenue, over the past year, we've seen an overall backdrop of strength in infrastructure spending along with a bit of turbulence over the past two quarters relating to inventory buildup in the channel and some consolidation in the market. We see this turbulent period ending as we've seen significant strength in new orders as we finished Q2 and in our first month of Q3. Based on this activity and going forward, we expect to see a return to growth in cable television.

The strength of our most recent orders clearly demonstrates that MSOs are making their planned shift to DOCSIS 3.1 deep fiber deployment. These new architectures allow them to compete more aggressively with telco and satellite products, offering a faster network that can deliver 4K and over-the-top services much more efficiently. Given our leadership position in the market and the significant investments that we've made in cable TV chip technology over the past few years, EMCORE is enabling the shift to DOCSIS 3.1.

Importantly, the successful commersion of our linear EML is a new opportunity for our cable television business over the next few years as LEMLs have superior cost performance ratios to the traditional externally modulated transmitter technology that exists in the market today. Over the next year, as we roll out new products based on the LEML and its derivatives, we expect that those products will set the standard for both DOCSIS 3.1 and RF over glass deployments in the future.

Despite consolidation at both the MSO and OEM levels, and a strong competitive market overall, EMCORE's technical position and strong market share has allowed us to keep pace with and even exceed overall market growth by entering new segments where we have not competed in the past. Given our position in the market, our strong relationships with customers, broad suite of product technology and leadership, we have good reason to be excited about the outlook for cable TV going forward.

As we think of the various product lines which make up EMCORE today, the cable television business, our largest by revenue, possesses a number of attractive traits. CapEx spending and network upgrade deployments are healthy and given our market share leadership and relationships with customers, we have an excellent technical position and a good handle on the dynamics in the market. Consequently, we feel confident in our ability to continue to provide differentiated products over time. When coupled with our manufacturing and operating cost reduction initiatives, cable television remains a very attractive, stable foundation upon which to grow into other areas.

Moving to our chip business now, as I've stated on prior calls, this has been an important growth opportunity for the Company over the past year and a half. Our revenue in the first fiscal half of 2016 is already greater than the business that we did in all of 2015.

In particular, the rapid rise in GPON volumes have not only helped accelerate growth in our top line but have also significantly improved our manufacturing utilization and allowed us to greatly reduce the fixed cost burden allocated to our remaining businesses, including our core cable television business.

While the competitive pressure within GPON has increased in the last two quarters, the chip business remains important to us because it spreads out fixed manufacturing costs over larger numbers of devices while laying the foundation for next-generation applications. One could think of our GPON business as really just our initial offering in the merchant chip market as EMCORE intends to become a broad supplier of chip level products to the entire telecom industry. As the market shifts from 2.5G GPON to the 10G standard, EMCORE will be in a far more favorable position given our long history as one of the industry's premier optical semiconductor manufacturers.

Although GPON is an important opportunity, we've also been working to shift our chip product mix. As we exit FY 2016, we expect a third of our chip revenue to come from non-GPON chips. As a result, we will optimize our product mix between captive and merchant use to drive a higher blended margin for both our chip business and the rest of the Company's products.

Switching now to satellite communications, while smaller than cable television, EMCORE enjoys a strong market share and close relationships with customers. Unlike the migration from DOCSIS 3.0 to 3.1 in the CATV market, the SATCOM business has not historically been network upgrade driven. However, this has the potential to change with the proliferation of distributed antenna solutions and ultimately 5G networks in general.

With the buildout of 5G networks on the horizon, DAS, distributed antenna systems, represents an important new opportunity for our existing SATCOM technology as the sheer number of devices needed in DAS applications is in order of magnitude greater than our served market today. As wireless networks are upgraded to the new 5G standard, we expect the linear fiber transmission between equipment racks and smaller, more densely populated antennas will be critical. Additionally, not having to convert from digital to RF at the antenna itself provides significant cost savings. We seek EMCORE's linear optics technology continuing to reach further into wireless applications going forward and are excited about the partnership that we have with one of the world leaders in DAS technology for their 5G system deployments. While this market remains in its early stages, the progress over the past year has been healthy and we look forward to continuing to work with customers in the space and increase our number of design wins ahead of full-scale deployment in the years ahead.

Last but certainly not least, our Gyro business is starting to generate production revenue while it holds great long-term potential as it relates to both revenue and margin expansion. Leveraging largely the same optical chip, packaging, and small signal technology we developed for our cable television business, the Gyro product line shares common technical and production assets with our larger businesses. Our Gyros are becoming well-recognized in the market and are winning business against larger competitors in the defense industry. These products have significant size, weight, and power advantages, as well as being lower-priced solutions.

While we are really just starting to develop the Gyro market, we are increasingly encouraged with the commitments we've seen from the world leaders in defense systems. We were recently awarded a production contract from one of the leading defense primes for $2.5 million in production orders for this fiscal year. If we continue to meet our commitments here, we expect to significantly grow the revenue from these unique long-lifecycle and high-margin products.

Shifting gears away from the individual businesses into operations, as you've heard me discuss on prior calls, operational excellence has been a focus of ours since I joined last year. Over the past 12 months, we've made significant progress toward laying the foundation for a best-in-class engineering and manufacturing company. By leveraging Six Sigma training across the organization, EMCORE's people now have a more powerful set of tools to use as we redesign significant parts of our business. Training includes white belt for all of our professionals and more advanced green belt and black belt training for key operations, quality, and technical employees. My whole staff is being trained to green belt level in addition to the three black belts already on my team. With this initiative, we are building our operations and design processes on quality and lean manufacturing principles. Furthermore, we are integrating these disciplines into the innovative culture which already existed at EMCORE. In doing so, not only do we expect to improve our manufacturing costs and quality, but we expect to optimize our working capital needs and decrease our fixed cost burden and operating expenses. This will also create an organization which is nimble enough to identify opportunities where EMCORE can create sustained and differentiated value as well as identify and outsource those functions, which are neither core nor create significant value for customers.

To help understand how our operational strategy translates into action and improved financial performance, let me take a moment to discuss three of the specific initiatives we've taken on so far. Implementing our hybrid EMS model to reduce cost and convert fixed cost to variable. This means the commodity processes will no longer be done at EMCORE, even in China. We are moving SATCOM Assembly & Test from our US facilities to Thailand this quarter and several commodity processes have already been moved from our Chinese facility to our two primary EMS partners. Examples include TOCAN packaging, box builds, turnkey assembly, as these can be built more efficiently by EMS partners.

Concerning operating leverage into operations, we've already started to insert robotics into our Alhambra chip fab operations and just finished installing new automated processes which reduce labor by 80% in our transmitter tune and test processes in China. This produces much better return on assets, improves operating leverage, and ultimately reduces costs.

Process reengineering -- again, Six Sigma is really about giving the organization better tools to drive waste and cash out of the business. Six Sigma is not about manufacturing at EMCORE. For example, our finance team used these techniques to improve our sales and use tax process for suppliers and audits. Engineering is now working on eliminating production inventory and E&O exposure by designing our CAD component list to match what our EMS providers already buy for other customers. Manufacturing engineering designed a bar stacking system that eliminates 85% of the labor in the coating operation. Six Sigma discipline is already improving every part of EMCORE's business.

It's tempting to think that virtually everything can be outsourced, but that's not the case. Our wafer fab, coating operations, and ITAR products will be manufactured in the US to take advantage of the tremendous technical resources we have here in Southern California.

Within our chip business, we have a number of process and technology initiatives in the fab which will help drive down costs such as migration to 3 inch wafers, outsourcing of commodity epi-growth and automated techniques for coating singulation, test and sort. These steps will enable us to compete more aggressively in the market over the long-term. Automation is especially important to this initiative as chip fab operations have been labor-intensive here at EMCORE. New equipment is being installed as we speak to modernize our fab and improve its productivity. In addition, we've looked at the option of supplying wafers, bars, and even bare die to our customers and have determined that supplying bars to third-party dicing, packaging and sorting vendors provides the right mix of value-added services on EMCORE's part versus what could be done more efficiently elsewhere. As these products begin absorption in the market within the next year, we expect that they will drive higher gross margins in our chip products while marginally reducing ASPs since the product will not have undergone as many manufacturing steps and thus will be sold at a lower price from EMCORE. As we implement these initiatives and others across our business, you should expect to see some inventory buildup over the next couple of quarters. Additionally, we've been incurring some double costs on the personnel side during the transition of certain manufacturing processes, which will improve as we exit the calendar year. We are now two quarters into this transformation of our manufacturing operation and are beginning to realize improvements in operating leverage, cycle times, yields, and product costs. Even last year's revenue dip came with slightly better margins. Once our manufacturing initiatives are complete, we expect to see further upside in the model over time.

As I said, we see that the trends in cable television are continuing to improve and quite nicely I might add. For the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2016 ending June 30, we expect revenue to be in the range of $22 million to $24 million.

Now I will turn the call over to the operator and open it up for questions. Operator, take it away.

(Operator Instructions). Dave Kang, B. Riley.

Good afternoon. Regarding your revenue outlook, I was wondering if you can -- first of all, can I get, for the second quarter, can I get the mix between cable TV and GPON?

Dave, it's Mark. Yes, our cable TV business remains in the 60% to 65% of our total revenue. We did about $4 million of GPON, so we are roughly within $4 million of chips, so we are roughly 15% to 20% of our business is in the chip area.

Got it. And then what about for the current quarter? What are the assumptions? Are they both going to be flat again or --?

Dave, Jeff. No, we are not saying that we are going to be flat. We're going to be up and we'll expect a lot of strength, in particular in cable television.

So it's more cable TV. So it's GPON? What's going on with GPON? It's been kind of flat for the last two quarters. The chips we're getting from China, that optical market is very strong. Even MACOM said the Chinese GPON business is very, very strong. And why aren't we seeing this?

Dave, we actually shipped more GPON products in Q2 than we did in Q1, which has been a bit of pricing pressure. And as we said, our real focus is to really go after parts of the chip market that offer significantly better markets, even the GPON. So GPON is really just the first entry point for us. It is not the end game. The end game is higher-margin product.

And can you just kind of quantify when you say pricing pressure? Because I thought when we met at OSC, I thought pressure was alleviated a little bit, but it sounds like it's still an issue.

It will always be an issue in a market with this many competitors. It's the closest thing -- it's almost like the MSA problem in the rest of the telco world. There's very little differentiation between suppliers. So there's -- it's going to continue to be very competitive.

All right. And then you talked about GPON 2.5G to 10G. I guess is this sort of like a second-half event, I mean calendar 2016, or is it already happening?

We are already sampling significant numbers of customers. You know, it's just a question of where the economics pan out. Over in China, our expectation is more toward the end of the year, we'll see more 10G. But you know, it's dangerous to put your crystal ball that far ahead in a market where there is a fair bit of volatility.

Got it. And then what does it mean for you in terms of like a dollar content? I know some ASP will be higher and also margins.

You know, margins will be up from the 2.5G. You know, the complexity of the parts are quite similar and the yields are not altogether different. So, it's not like you are -- when you jump to 10G, you take 20 points of a hit in yield at bar or even chip. 10G technology has been around in the telecom business for a long time. This is really just the first time that a particular segment of 10G is moving up the volume curve.

And then regarding your chip business diversification strategy, can you give us any ideas of what areas you are looking at or planning to address?

I'd love to but I can't. There's lots of competitors that listen on these calls too.

Sure. Okay. And my last question is regarding your RFoG. So my understanding is that RFoG is more for greenfield. So is there a lot of greenfield activities going on in cable TV industry?

I was actually -- I've been a little bit surprised at how much of it is going on. Actually even over in Europe, Liberty Global is going to be deploying a lot more RFoG than thought last year. So, Comcast has publicly said they'd like to do 0.5 million RFoG installation homes this year. Whether or not they get there is up to them of course, but it's not insignificant.

So can we see some revenues like second half this calendar year or --?

Yes, you will.

Okay. And then Mark, just a couple of numbers please. Depreciation and CapEx?

Yes, CapEx for the quarter was about $1 million, and depreciation was up $600,000.

Okay. And then will CapEx go up? Because you talked about all this modernization of your fab and all the new equipment. So, what kind of CapEx should we be expecting over the next few quarters?

When we started the fiscal year, we noted that we expected our CapEx to be at roughly 5% of revenues for the year, maybe a little bit slightly up. And that's really due to the fact that, a couple of years ago, we really curtailed spending as we were going through a strategic process. This year, we are going to be a little bit north of the 5% level, but roughly in line with that figure. And so far, we are still sticking to that forecast. Through the first two quarters of the year, we are about $2.2 million, so right on track.

Okay thank you.

Tim Savageaux, Northland Capital Markets.

A couple of questions. I wonder if you -- you referenced the strength that you are seeing in the cable TV optics sector. I wonder if you are able to put any metrics or quantification around that with regard to a book to bill perhaps or kind of overall kind of market growth rate expectations that you are seeing here as the business picks up.

Fair. So, you know, you normally have a seasonally weak Q1, and we ended up about flat pretty much in CATV, which we viewed somewhat perversely I guess as a victory. With that said, you know, the order rate has really started to ramp up, actually started in the end of February, strong through March, very strong through April, and now in May we've got -- we are already starting to fill bits in Q3. So you know, it's been -- or sorry, Q4. So for us, it's been quite good.

Book to bill, Mark? 1. --?

North of 1.

North of 1. that's for sure.

Yes, I was guessing that. Maybe looking for a little more.

How far north of 1? Well, so, you know, you have to be a little careful with these things because of the lumpiness and the way that they come in, but it's pushing up against 1.2.

Yes, it sounds like -- and it can be I guess in the cable TV sector in particular kind of front-end loaded. Among those lines, I wonder if you can discuss major customers in the quarter and whether you had -- I imagine you might have had some 10% type customers and --?

Yes, you know, obviously, we released the Q today. And if you look at the Q this quarter and last quarter, you know, with the recent consolidation activity, we now have really two or three customers that make up more than 50% of our revenue. We expect that to continue to be very, very highly weighted towards just a few customers because of the limited number of OEMs in the cable TV space specifically.

Right, okay. And then a question over on the Gyro side. You mentioned, what I gathered and please correct me if I'm wrong, orders in-hand I gather for shipments this year. I wonder if you can give us any expectation for when you might think those will translate into revenue I guess in calendar 2016.

Those orders are currently scheduled for this quarter and next for production. Some may push out right over the end of our fiscal year. It just depends on how the government decides to pay for things. So their fiscal year is -- fiscal year end is the same as ours. But you're basically looking at that one order filling this quarter and next with follow-on orders we expect after that, but we are already shipping to other tier 1s and received two additional development programs this quarter, a little on the small side but still nice in terms of the eventual production shipments that will come out of them.

Got it. And the final question on the chip side, do you anticipate kind of a continuation of this trend, which is greater volume and continued price pressure in the GPON space? And perhaps we could hope to keep that flat at best heading forward and look to new applications either outside of access or different data rates to drive any growth in that overall chip business? Or how are you thinking about it as the year progresses?

Yes, so I think, if you left it alone, it would do exactly what you said, which is greater volumes of chips at lower prices. But we've been working since the beginning on moving the capacity into the highest priced applications we can find. We were in the mid-20s% in terms of non-GPON chips this quarter in terms of a percent of revenue, and we have several other applications which are about to hit. Again, I was being a little cagey with Mr. Kang because it is a competitive world out there where we have a fair bit of control, and those parts, for example, sell for about four times the amount as the GPON chip and they have similar costs. Now, they are smaller volumes, but you get my point. It's a real estate game. We are trying to sell, maximize the value of the indium phosphide dollars per square millimeter that go out the door. And, the more options you have between captive and merchant use and then in the merchant space between, say, PON and non-PON applications, the better off you are. And we've gone this direction from the start, and it's starting to pay off. We're not just relying on commodity GPON.

Okay. Then actually maybe one final question there. It does sound like you have a number of initiatives underway, both just new products and maybe natural mix. And I assume Gyro might be part of that in terms of a higher-margin product, but you tell me.

Then Mark, you mentioned some other initiatives underway. You referenced some costs, although still seemed to be moving margins up a bit sequentially. You know, it sounds in the sum total of that that we might be able to expect kind of an upward bias of gross margins throughout the year. I'm just wondering if you had any comments on that.

Yes, it's a great question, Tim. In the quarter, despite a $1 million decrease in revenues, we were able to keep gross margins roughly flat. We are guiding up for $22 million, so with increased strength in the revenue line. The fact that we are seeing some positive trends in terms of some of the operating initiatives, we do think that there is a good opportunity for us to continue to drive our gross margins closer to our target range, which is in the mid-30s%.

Great, thanks. I'll pass it on.

Jaeson Schmidt, Lake Street Capital.

Wondering if -- obviously DSO has jumped a little bit here in March. Would we expect a more historical normal level in June, or what are the linearity expectations for Q3?

Yes. As I mentioned in my script, we do expect our -- our normal range is between about 65 and 70 days for our DSOs. This quarter was a little bit backend loaded, more so than usual, primarily due to the seasonality as much as anything else. So we would expect our DSOs to go back to our normal range over the next quarter or two. Obviously, it also depends on the growth of the business. The business starts growing a little bit faster, obviously that would cause some DSOs maybe to potentially increase.

Okay that's helpful. And what was utilization in Q2?

Utilization is sort of a tough question to answer because it's not a static measurement. If you'd say, all right, where were you? You could argue that the fab was probably running at 60% to 70%, for example, overall. If you looked at assembly operations, they range from being very under-loaded in January to being very well and even over-absorbed in March, hence the nonlinearity that Mark described. And with the strength in orders we've received over the past 2, 2.5 months, it's reverting back to our normal quite linear pattern at this point in the quarter. Does that help?

Yes, it does, thanks. Then looking at SG&A, Mark, you mentioned you expect it to be roughly flat in June. I assume that's off a base that excludes the legal expenses?

Yes.

Okay. How should we look at OpEx then throughout the rest of the calendar year?

We would expect our CapEx to hit the $5 million for the full year. On the operating expense line, you know, we expect our operating expenses to also be roughly flat throughout the year. Obviously, in the December quarter is the year-end, so we typically we have a little bit of an increase in expenses that is offset by lower payroll taxes. So overall it should be roughly similar to prior quarters. But at this point, those are the expectations that we have in terms of absolute dollars for the operating expenses.

Okay, thanks a lot.

Thank you. I'm showing no further questions at this time. I'd like to turn the call back over to the Company for any closing remarks.

Okay. In closing, I'd like to thank the entire EMCORE team for all the hard work they put in every day and actually coming through strong at the end of a backend loaded quarter. And I think I speak for all of us here when I say how proud we are of the business that we've built and the opportunity that lies ahead.

Thank you all for your time, and I look forward to speaking with you again on our next earnings call, or for some of you probably over the next day or two. Thank you again.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for participating in today's conference. This does conclude today's program. You may all disconnect. Everyone have a great day.
