Quarterly trend — last 8 quarters
The eight-quarter window from Q3 FY2024 (December 2023 quarter) through Q2 FY2026 (December 2025 quarter) captures three distinct regimes for Lumentum: the FY2024 trough, the FY2025 AI-driven recovery, and the FY2026 inflection as 200G/lane EML volume scales and the Cloud Light hyperscaler-direct business contributes meaningfully. Lumentum’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30 — FY2025 ended June 28, 2025; FY2026 ends approximately June 27, 2026.
Quarterly revenue and margins
| Fiscal quarter | Calendar period | Net revenue ($M) | GAAP GM | Non-GAAP GM | Non-GAAP op margin | Non-GAAP diluted EPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q3 FY2024 | Jan–Mar 2024 | $366.5 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Q4 FY2024 | Apr–Jun 2024 | $308.3 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Q1 FY2025 | Jul–Sep 2024 | $336.9 | 23.1% | 32.8% | 3.0% | $0.18 |
| Q2 FY2025 | Oct–Dec 2024 | $402.2 | n/a | ~33% | ~6% | n/a |
| Q3 FY2025 | Jan–Mar 2025 | $425.2 | n/a | ~35% | ~10% | $0.57 |
| Q4 FY2025 | Apr–Jun 2025 | $480.7 | n/a | 37.8% | ~13% | n/a |
| Q1 FY2026 | Jul–Sep 2025 | $533.8 | 34.0% | 39.4% | 18.7% | $1.10 |

Annual roll-up
| Fiscal year | Net revenue ($M) | Net revenue YoY | GAAP net income ($M) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2023 | $1,767.0 | n/a | n/a | Pre-Cloud-Light; pre-AI-cycle |
| FY2024 | $1,359.2 | -23.1% | -$546.5 | Inventory-correction trough; included Cloud Light contribution from Nov 2023 |
| FY2025 | $1,645.0 | +21.0% | +$25.9 | Recovery + AI-led Cloud & Networking ramp |
| H1 FY2026 (6mo) | $1,199.3 | n/a | +$82.4 | First-half FY2026; full-year run-rate suggests $2.6–3.0B |
H1 FY2026 net income of $82.4M compares to a $143.3M net loss in H1 FY2025 — reflecting the combined operating-leverage and mix-shift uplift from the cloud-led recovery.
Q3 FY2026 guidance
Lumentum’s Q2 FY2026 release (Feb 3, 2026) provided the following Q3 FY2026 (Jan–Mar 2026) guidance:
| Metric | Q3 FY2026 guidance |
|---|---|
| Net revenue | $780–$830M |
| Non-GAAP operating margin | 30.0%–31.0% |
| Non-GAAP diluted EPS | $2.15–$2.35 |
Mid-point implied:
- Revenue: $805M (+21% sequential, +90% YoY)
- Non-GAAP op income: ~$245M
- Non-GAAP diluted EPS: $2.25
This guidance is the most aggressive sequential-growth trajectory Lumentum has guided to in recent history, and it sits before the NVDA-funded San Jose fab capacity hits production — meaning the guide is achieved primarily on existing capacity yield/throughput improvements plus mix shift to higher-ASP 200G/lane EML and 1.6T modules.
Three regimes — narrative summary
Regime 1: FY2024 trough (Q1 FY2024 – Q4 FY2024)
Revenue fell 23% YoY in FY2024 driven by a broad inventory correction across the optical-networking industry: cloud customers had over-ordered during the post-COVID capacity buildout and spent much of FY2024 digesting excess inventory (Lumentum FY2024 10-K MD&A discussion). GAAP net loss of $546.5M reflected the operating deleverage. The Cloud Light acquisition closed November 7, 2023 and contributed only a partial year to FY2024.
Regime 2: FY2025 recovery (Q1 FY2025 – Q4 FY2025)
The trough bottomed in Q4 FY2024 / Q1 FY2025. From Q1 FY2025 ($336.9M) through Q4 FY2025 ($480.7M), revenue increased 43% in four quarters — driven by AI-cluster-led cloud demand. Gross margin rebuilt from 23.1% GAAP / 32.8% non-GAAP in Q1 FY2025 to ~37.8% non-GAAP by Q4 FY2025. The recovery was Cloud & Networking-led; Industrial Tech remained weak.
Regime 3: FY2026 inflection (Q1 FY2026 onward)
Q1 FY2026 ($533.8M, +58% YoY) and Q2 FY2026 ($665.5M, +65% YoY) mark a discontinuous step-change. Non-GAAP operating margin reached 25.2% in Q2 FY2026, the highest in Lumentum’s post-Oclaro history. This is the regime in which the NVDA $2B strategic investment (March 2026) layered on top of an already-accelerating organic ramp.
The operating-leverage characteristics of the inflection are notable:
- Q1 FY2026 revenue +58% YoY translated to non-GAAP op margin expansion from 3.0% to 18.7% — extreme operating leverage
- Q2 FY2026 revenue +65% YoY translated to non-GAAP op margin 25.2% — leverage continues
- This is consistent with a fixed-cost-heavy InP fab and module-assembly business where contribution margins on incremental volume are very high once base fixed costs are absorbed
Forward path
Lumentum’s stated revenue milestones (CEO Alan Lowe — March 2026 OFC investor commentary):
| Milestone | Target window |
|---|---|
| $1.25B quarterly revenue run rate | 9–12 months from March 2026 |
| $2.0B quarterly revenue run rate | 18–24 months from March 2026 |
| $30+ annualized EPS | CY2028 |
These targets are management-framed; treat as ⚠ aspirational unless / until they are reaffirmed in formal SEC filings.
