Fabrinet, a leading provider of advanced optical packaging and precision optical, electro-mechanical and electronic manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers of complex products, today announced its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
Seamus Grady, Chief Executive Officer of Fabrinet, said, “We exceeded our guidance for revenue and earnings per share in the fourth quarter. During the quarter we saw very strong growth in datacom revenue, driven by new AI products, which more than offset anticipated headwinds from inventory adjustments at some customers. Our strong fourth quarter results helped produce record performances for revenue, profitability and cash flow in fiscal 2023. As we look to the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we are optimistic that new datacom programs can continue to offset inventory absorption in the industry, and that we can extend our track record of strong execution.”
