"I am quite pleased with EXFO's progress in fiscal 2016 in terms of sales, bookings and profitability, including a 60% increase in adjusted EBITDA to US$22.0 million, ahead of the US$20 million target we had set at the beginning of the year," said Germain Lamonde, EXFO's Chairman, President and CEO. "Many of the transformations implemented in 2015 started to pay off, contributing to market-share gains in strategic areas and delivering expected bookings and revenue growth in both our Physical-layer and Protocol-layer product groups. Our fourth quarter was particularly gratifying with double-digit sales, bookings and adjusted EBITDA growth year-over-year."

"Throughout 2016, we continued redefining EXFO for ongoing success and market-share gains by strengthening our innovation edge, strategic position and go-to-market capabilities, while leveraging new growth vectors and market segments," Mr. Lamonde added. "Combined with our solid foundation in high-speed optical testing and holistic test and systems offering, we are well positioned to sustain profitable growth in 2017 as the pace of network transformation is accelerating. With a heightened focus on execution, disciplined spending and improving our gross margin, I am confident we will increase adjusted EBITDA faster than revenue to achieve at least US$26 million in 2017."

Fiscal 2016 Highlights
 
§
Sales. Total sales increased 4.7% to US$232.6 million in fiscal 2016 largely due to EXFO's leadership in portable optical testing and a 100G investment cycle, especially in the United States. Sales of Physical-layer solutions (optical and copper access) increased 5.4% year-over-year, while sales of Protocol-layer solutions (transport, datacom, service assurance, analytics and wireless products) improved 3.4%.

Annual sales in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions increased by 6.7% and 5.6%, respectively, while sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) were relatively stable.

EXFO's largest customer accounted for 7.1% of sales in fiscal 2016, while the company's top-three customers represented 15.6%. In comparison, EXFO's largest customer accounted for 7.1% of sales in 2015, while the company's top-three customers represented 14.4%.

§
Profitability. EXFO generated adjusted EBITDA of US$22.0 million, or 9.5% of sales, in fiscal 2016 compared to US$13.8 million, or 6.2% of sales, in 2015. The company also delivered US$24.4 million in cash flows from operating activities in 2016.

§
Innovation. EXFO launched 15 new products or major enhancements in fiscal 2016. Key new product introductions included TestFlow, a unique cloud-based, field test automation solution simplifying and accelerating complex, labor-intensive deployment activities for home-broadband and wireless radio access networks (RAN); LTB-8 platform, a multi-module test and software-sharing automation suite accelerating high-speed optical testing in lab and manufacturing environments; a whole new family of OTDRs (a segment in which EXFO dominates), raising industry standards for technical specifications and time savings in characterizing optical networks; iSAM, an intelligent service activation software bringing speed and simplicity to testing Ethernet services; MaxTester-940 Fiber Certifier OLTS (optical loss test set) for data center and enterprise markets; and the telecom industry's first G.fast handheld test set for the roll out of ultra-broadband services on copper links.
 
Business Outlook
EXFO forecasts sales between US$59.0 million and US$64.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, while IFRS net results are expected to range between a loss of US$0.01 per share and earnings of US$0.03 per share.
IFRS net results include US$0.01 per share in after-tax amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation costs.
This guidance was established by management based on existing backlog as of the date of this press release, seasonality, expected bookings for the remaining of the quarter, as well as exchange rates as of the day of this press release.
For fiscal 2017, EXFO is targeting double-digit growth in adjusted EBITDA to least US$26 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Words such as may, expect, believe, plan, anticipate, intend, could, estimate, continue, or similar expressions or the negative of such expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statement that refers to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events and circumstances are considered forward-looking statements. They are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements due to various factors including, but not limited to, macroeconomic uncertainty as well as capital spending and network deployment levels in the telecommunications industry (including our ability to quickly adapt cost structures with anticipated levels of business and our ability to manage inventory levels with market demand); future economic, competitive, financial and market conditions; consolidation in the global telecommunications test and service assurance industry and increased competition among vendors; capacity to adapt our future product offering to future technological changes; limited visibility with regards to timing and nature of customer orders; longer sales cycles for complex systems involving customers' acceptances delaying revenue recognition; fluctuating exchange rates; concentration of sales; timely release and market acceptance of our new products and other upcoming products; our ability to successfully expand international operations; our ability to successfully integrate businesses that we acquire; and the retention of key technical and management personnel. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments and risks, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Other risk factors that may affect our future performance and operations are detailed in our Annual Report, on Form 20-F, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian securities commissions. We believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to us, but we cannot assure that the expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this document. Unless required by law or applicable regulations, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any of them to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this document.

*Non-IFRS Measures
EXFO provides non-IFRS measures (constant currency data, gross margin before depreciation and amortization and adjusted EBITDA) as supplemental information regarding its operational performance. The company uses these measures for the purpose of evaluating historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help the company to plan and forecast future periods as well as to make operational and strategic decisions. EXFO believes that providing this information, in addition to IFRS measures, allows investors to see the company's results through the eyes of management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance.
The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Constant currency data represents data before foreign currency impact. Data for the current period is translated using foreign exchange rates of the corresponding period from the preceding year.
Gross margin before depreciation and amortization represents sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation costs and foreign exchange gain or loss.
The following table summarizes the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net earnings in thousands of US dollars:
