Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (including certain information incorporated herein by reference) contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”). The statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K that are not purely historical, but are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations, assumptions, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as, “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements address, among other things, our assumptions, our expectations, our assessments of the size and growth rates of our markets, our growth strategies, our efforts to increase bookings, sales and revenues, projections of our future profitability, cash generation, success of our research, development and engineering investments, results of operations, capital expenditures, our financial condition, our ability to integrate acquired businesses or other “forward-looking” information and include statements about revenues, costs, investments, earnings, margins, or our projections, actions, plans or strategies.

The forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results, performance or trends to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements herein or in previous disclosures. We believe that all forward-looking statements made by us have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that these expectations, beliefs or projections will actually occur or prove to be correct, at least on the timetable of our expectations. Actual results could differ materially. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the PSLRA for our forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect our financial performance and actual results, and could cause actual results for fiscal 2020 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or otherwise made by our management:

•Investments in future markets of potential significant growth may not result in the expected return.
•Our competitive position depends on our ability to develop new products and processes.
•Global economic downturns may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
•Some systems that use our products are complex in design, and our products may contain defects that are not detected until deployed, which could increase our costs, reduce our revenues, cause us to lose key customers and may expose us to litigation arising from derivative lawsuits related to consumer products.
•Foreign currency risk may negatively affect our revenues, cost of sales and operating margins and could result in foreign exchange losses.
•To retain our competitive position may require significant investments.
•We may be unable to successfully implement our acquisitions strategy or integrate acquired companies and personnel with existing operations.
•Our future success depends on continued international sales, and our global operations are complex and present multiple challenges to manage.
•We are subject to complex and rapidly changing governmental import and export regulations.
•Changes in U.S. trade policies could impact our international operations and the cost of goods imported into the United States, which may narrow the size of our markets, materially impact our revenues or increase our operating costs and expose us to contract litigation.
•Any inability to access financial markets from time to time to raise required capital, finance our working capital requirements or our acquisition strategies, or otherwise to support our liquidity needs could negatively impact our ability to finance our operations, meet certain obligations or implement our growth strategy.
•We may not be able to settle conversions of our convertible senior notes in cash or to repurchase the notes in accordance with their terms.
•We may fail to accurately estimate the size and growth of our markets and our customers’ demands.
•We may encounter increased competition.
•There are limitations on the protection of our intellectual property, and we may from time to time be involved in costly intellectual property litigation or indemnification.
•A significant portion of our business is dependent on cyclical industries.
•Our global operations are subject to complex legal and regulatory requirements.
•Changes in laws and regulations governing data privacy and data protection could have a material adverse impact on our business.
•Data breach incidents and breakdown of information and communication technologies could disrupt our operations and impact our financial results.
•We have entered into supply agreements which commit us to supply products on specified terms.
•We depend on highly complex manufacturing processes that require feeder materials, components and products from limited sources of supply.
•Increases in commodity prices may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
•We use and generate potentially hazardous substances that are subject to stringent environmental regulations.
•Unfavorable changes in tax rates, tax liabilities or tax accounting rules could negatively affect future results.
•Natural disasters or other global or regional catastrophic events could disrupt our operations, give rise to substantial environmental hazards and adversely affect our results.
•Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and develop key personnel and requires continued good relations with our employees.
•Our stock price has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the future.
•Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our articles of incorporation and by-laws, as well as provisions of Pennsylvania Law, could impair a takeover attempt, which could also reduce the market price of our common stock.
•Because we do not currently intend to pay dividends, holders of our common stock will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value, and by the intended anti-dilution actions of our share-buyback program.
•We contract with a number of large end-user service providers and product companies that have considerable bargaining power, which may require us to agree to terms and conditions that could have an adverse effect on our business or ability to recognize revenues.
•We may be adversely affected by climate change regulations.
•We depend on large purchases from a few significant customers, and any loss, cancellation, reduction or delay in purchases by these customers could harm our business.
•The manufacturing of our products may be adversely affected if we are unable to manufacture certain products in our manufacturing facilities.
•Failure to accurately forecast our revenues could result in additional charges for obsolete or excess inventories or non-cancelable purchase commitments.
•If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Pending Acquisition of Finisar Corporation (“Finisar”)

•Although we expect that our acquisition of Finisar will result in cost savings, synergies and other benefits, the combined company may not realize those benefits because of market conditions, trade and tariff changes, integration difficulties and other challenges.
•We will incur significant transaction-related costs in connection with our pending acquisition of Finisar.
•Our pending acquisition of Finisar is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied, and may not be completed on a timely basis, or at all. Failure to complete our pending acquisition of Finisar could have material and adverse effects on us.
•Each of II-VI and Finisar is subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while our acquisition of Finisar is pending, which could adversely affect each of Finisar’s and II-VI’s business and operations.
•The market price of our Common Stock may decline in the future as a result of the Merger.

The foregoing and additional risk factors are described in more detail herein under Item 1A. “Risk Factors”. All such factors, as well as factors described or referred to in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, should be considered in evaluating our business and prospects. Many of these factors are beyond our reasonable control. In addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment, and, therefore, new risk factors can arise and be present without market participants like us knowing until a substantial amount of time has passed. It is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business nor estimate the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of risk factors, nor to mitigate them all and therefore they may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by the securities laws. We caution you not to rely on them unduly.

II-VI Incorporated does communicate with securities analysts from time to time and those communications are conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that II-VI Incorporated agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst, irrespective of the content of the statement or report.
