JDS Uniphase Cuts Guidance for 4th Quarter

OTTAWA (Reuters) - JDS Uniphase Corp. (NasdaqNM:JDSU - news; Toronto:JDU.TO
- news) the world's largest supplier of fiber-optic components, on Thursday cut its sales
estimates for the fourth quarter, citing continued weakness in telecommunication carrier
spending.

JDS cut its forecast to revenues of $600 million from earlier projections of $700 million, it also said it expects first-quarter
revenues to reach only $450 million.

The company, which said it is reviewing its expenses, said the lowered forecast means it will take an increased excess inventory
writedown of $225 million to $250 million. The reserves are expected to result in a fourth-quarter loss of 6 to 8 cents a share,
excluding one-time charges.
