The results include the integration of Cobham's test and measurement group.

"VIAVI executed well on its strategic priorities in fiscal year 2018.  We improved NSE revenue quality, resulting in operating margin expansion, and increased revenue scale with the acquisitions of Trilithic and the recent T&M businesses of Cobham.
