  • "Revenues for our fourth fiscal quarter were $320.0 million, an increase of $13.8 million, or 4.5% compared to the prior quarter," said Jerry Rawls, Finisar's executive Chairman of the Board. "Revenue growth was primarily driven by the benefit from an extra week in the fourth quarter partially offset by the impact of Chinese New Year."
  • "We also reported record revenue for the full fiscal year 2015, an increase of 8.1% over fiscal 2014, primarily driven by demand for datacom applications," said Eitan Gertel, Finisar's Chief Executive Officer.
