Oclaro posted quarterly revenue of $88.7 million, compared with revenues of $86.5 million for the preceding quarter. Revenues and operating results for the quarter continued to be materially impacted by the flood in Thailand. Revenues for the quarter were also adversely impacted by approximately $4 million by a short-term work stoppage in Shenzhen, which has since been resolved. GAAP gross margin was 15% for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared with a GAAP gross margin of 13% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
"This quarter demonstrates our continued progress across all of our strategic initiatives and in our Thailand flood recovery, which is largely behind us," said Alain Couder, chairman and CEO of Oclaro. http://www.oclaro.com
