　　Business Outlook

　　Lumentum expects the following for the fiscal first quarter of 2025:

　　Non-GAAP operating margin of 0% - 3.0%

　　Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.07 to $0.17

　　We have not provided reconciliations from GAAP to non-GAAP measures or the equivalent GAAP measure for non-GAAP measures in our outlook, as they cannot be provided without unreasonable effort. A large portion of non-GAAP adjustments, such as restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, non-GAAP income tax reconciling adjustments, acquisition related costs, and other costs and contingencies unrelated to current and future operations are by their nature highly volatile and we have low visibility as to the range that may be incurred in the future.
