Highlight of Business Operations:

Net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $6,306,000 ($0.21 per share-diluted). This compares to net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated of $17,495,000 ($0.57 per share-diluted) in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in net earnings attributable to II-VI Incorporated during the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period last fiscal year was due to several factors. During the prior years quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized a favorable income tax benefit in accordance with U.S. GAAP relating to the reversal of unrecognized income tax benefits resulting from the completion of the Internal Revenue Services examination of certain of the Companys federal income tax returns. This benefit was partially offset by additional tax exposure at certain foreign locations. The net favorable impact was approximately $3.6 million or $0.12 per share-diluted. In addition to the absence of the income tax benefit, other factors that contributed to lower earnings during the current three months compared to the same period last fiscal year were lower margins realized at the Companys Infrared Optics, Near-Infrared Optics and Marlow business units resulting from reduced shipments to their industrial-based customers as a result of the global recession. Also, the Company recorded approximately $0.9 million more in share-based compensation expense during the current fiscal quarter as compared to the same period last fiscal year as a result of an increased use of share-based compensation and an adjustment to the actual forfeiture rates from the estimated forfeitures rates for stock options that became fully vested during the current fiscal quarter.

Also, the Company recorded $0.9 million more in share-based compensation expense during the current fiscal quarter as compared to the same period last fiscal year as a result of an increased use of share-based compensation and an adjustment to the actual forfeiture rates from the estimated forfeiture rates for stock options that became fully vested during the current fiscal quarter.

Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 for Near-Infrared Optics decreased 35% to $8,901,000 from $13,680,000 in the first quarter of last fiscal year. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily due to the planned reduction of the shipment volume of the UV Filter product line as well as a general decline in shipments to the segments industrial and medical customers as a result of the poor economic climate. In addition, the segment also recorded $0.9 million less in contract revenues during the current quarter compared to the prior year as a result of a delay in the receipt of a certain government research and development contract that is now expected to be received in the segments second quarter of the current fiscal year.
