The primary engine behind the results was Lumentum's Cloud & Networking segment, which generated $365.20 million, or roughly 86% of total revenue, as hyperscale customers ramped spending on data center interconnects and next-generation transceiver technology. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 10.8%, up 1,100 basis points from the year-ago quarter, reflecting improving operating leverage even as the company navigated a leadership transition and trade-related headwinds including a $3.20 million bad debt reserve tied to Huawei. New CEO Michael Hurlston, early in his tenure, guided fiscal Q4 revenue of $440 million to $470 million with non-GAAP EPS of $0.70 to $0.80, signaling continued confidence in AI-driven demand.
Key Takeaways
- • Strong demand from cloud customers
- • Recovering networking market
- • AI data center scaling driving demand for optical components
- • Non-GAAP gross margin expansion to 35.2% from 28.7% year-over-year
