Thursday, July 27, 2000

FREMONT, California -(Business Wire) - July 27, 2000 - Avanex Corporation (Nasdaq: AVNX), pioneer of photonic processors that accelerate the deployment of the next generation optical networks, today reported results for its fourth fiscal quarter, which ended June 30, 2000.

Avanex CEO and President Walter Alessandrini noted, "This quarter marked a number of accomplishments for the company. We increased revenue 84% from last quarter and substantially exceeded our bottom line objectives in Q4. We also expanded manufacturing capacity with the addition of our new 91,000 square foot facility, increased employees to over 700 from less than 60 last year, introduced new cutting-edge photonic processors at SuperComm, announced a supply agreement with Cogent Communications, continued to increase our presence with current customers, and acquired Holographix, a developer of holographic diffraction gratings. These accomplishments serve notice that our cutting-edge technology is achieving rapid acceptance in the optical networking industry."

Net revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 2000 were $19.3 million, an increase of 84 percent over the company's revenues of $10.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 ending March 31, 2000. The company reported revenues of $510,000 in the fourth quarter ending June 30, 1999.

Pro forma net loss for the quarter was $288,000, or $0.01 per share excluding a non-cash charge for the amortization of deferred stock compensation. This compared with a pro forma net loss of $2.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 ending March 30, 2000. Pro forma net loss for the prior year's fourth quarter was $2.1 million, or $0.49 per share.

Net loss for the quarter including the amortization of deferred stock compensation was $7.4 million, or $0.14 per share compared to a net loss of $4.1 million or $0.97 per share for the same period in the prior year.

Net revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000 were $40.7 million, compared with $510,000 for the same period of fiscal 1999.
