Revenue of $135.3 million up 107% and Net Income up 295% year-over-year

MAYNARD, Mass., Nov. 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acacia Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACIA), a leading provider of high-speed coherent optical interconnect products, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

"Our third quarter results exceeded our expectations driven by strong global demand for our products across metro and inter-data center networks," said Raj Shanmugaraj, President and CEO of Acacia Communications. "To satisfy this continued demand, we further scaled our manufacturing capacity during the quarter. As was the case in the second quarter, we continued to diversify our revenue base, with two of our newer top tier customers ranking among the top five contributors to our revenue in the third quarter. Additionally, we recently announced sampling of our coherent CFP2-DCO module, leveraging our sixth DSP ASIC developed in 16nm CMOS, which we believe demonstrates our continued technology leadership position."

"We are pleased that the continued market success of our highly-integrated product portfolio, combined with our ability to increase production capacity, led to enhanced profitability during the third quarter," said John Gavin, CFO of Acacia Communications. "We are also pleased to have completed our follow-on offering last month, which strengthened our balance sheet and provides us with financial flexibility to pursue our growth objectives and expand our product offerings."
