In view of these continued headwinds, our revenue came in at the lower end of our guidance, with stronger OSP demand partially offsetting weaker than expected NSE demand. Our EPS came in at the lower half of our guidance range, driven by lower NSE volume and less favorable product mix" said Oleg Khaykin, VIAVI's President and Chief executive Officer.
