PITTSBURGH, Aug. 15, 2024 – Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR) (“Coherent,” “We,” or the “Company”), a global leader in materials, networking, and lasers, announced financial results today for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2024.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 was $1.314 billion, with GAAP gross margin of 32.9% and GAAP net loss of $(0.52) per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 37.2% with net income per diluted share of $0.61.

Revenue for fiscal year 2024 was $4.708 billion, with GAAP gross margin of 30.9% and GAAP net loss of $(1.84) per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 36.0% with net income per diluted share of $1.67.

Jim Anderson, CEO, said, “After meeting with many of our employees and customers, I am more excited today about Coherent’s potential than when I joined two months ago. Coherent is a deeply innovative company with many secular growth opportunities. While we have many strengths, we also have opportunity for improvement, and I look forward to working with all my Coherent teammates to unlock the full potential of the company and drive outstanding shareholder value creation.”

Rich Martucci, Interim CFO, said, “Fourth quarter fiscal 2024 revenue increased by 9% on a sequential basis primarily driven by ongoing AI-related strength in our Datacom transceiver business. Our strong sequential revenue growth together with a GAAP gross margin improvement of 255 basis points and non-GAAP gross margin improvement of 145 basis points drove a sequential increase in GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin.”

(1) The Company has disclosed financial measurements in earnings release that present financial information considered to be non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although the Company’s management uses these measurements as an aid in monitoring the Company’s on-going financial performance. The non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Coherent Corp., the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, the non-GAAP operating income, the non-GAAP gross margin, the non-GAAP internal research and development, the non-GAAP selling, general and administration, the non-GAAP operating expenses, the non-GAAP interest and other (income) expense, and the non-GAAP income tax (benefit), measure earnings and operating income (loss), respectively, excluding non-recurring or unusual items that are considered by management to be outside the Company’s standard operation and excluding certain non-cash items. EBITDA is an adjusted non-GAAP financial measurement that is considered by management to be useful in measuring the profitability between companies within the industry by reflecting operating results of the Company excluding non-operating factors. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including that such measures may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, due to potential differences among calculation methodologies. Thus, there can be no assurance whether (i) items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures will occur in the future or (ii) there will be cash costs associated with items excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures. The Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. All non-GAAP amounts exclude certain adjustments for share-based compensation, acquired intangible amortization expense, restructuring charges (recoveries), integration and site consolidation expenses, integration transaction expenses, start-up costs related to the start-up of new devices for new customer applications, and various one-time adjustments. See Table 8 for the Reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures.

Exhibit 99.2 INVESTOR PRESENTATION August 2024 Copyright 2024, Coherent. All rights reserved. 1


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements relating to future events and expectations, including our expectations regarding (i) our future financial and operational results; (ii) the growth and megatrends in the markets we serve including industrial, communications, electronics, and instrumentation; (iii) artificial intelligence, the growth in the datacom transceiver market, and the domination of 800G/1.6T; and (iv) improvement opportunities and shareholder value creation, each of which is based on certain assumptions and contingencies. The forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and relate to the Company’s performance on a going-forward basis. The forward-looking statements in this investor presentation 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. The Company believes that all forward-looking statements made by it in this presentation have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, or projections as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct. In addition to general industry and global economic conditions, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements in this presentation include but are not limited to: (i) the failure of any one or more of the assumptions stated herein to prove to be correct; (ii) the risks relating to forward-looking statements and other risk factors that may be identified from time to time in filings of the Company; (iii) the substantial indebtedness the Company incurred in connection with its acquisition of Coherent, Inc. (the “Transaction”), the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such debt and the Company’s ability to generate sufficient funds to meet its anticipated debt reduction goals; (iv) the possibility that the Company may not be able to continue its integration progress on and/or take other restructuring actions, or otherwise be able to achieve expected synergies, operating efficiencies, including greater scale, focus, resiliency, and lower operating costs, and other benefits within the expected time frames or at all and ultimately to successfully fully integrate the operations of Coherent, Inc. (“Coherent”), with those of the Company; (v) the possibility that such integration and/or the restructuring actions may be more difficult, time-consuming, or costly than expected or that operating costs and business disruption (including, without limitation, disruptions in relationships with employees, customers, or suppliers) may be greater than expected in connection with the Transaction and/or the restructuring actions; (vi) any unexpected costs, charges, or expenses resulting from the Transaction and/or the restructuring actions; (vii) the risk that disruption from the Transaction and/or the restructuring actions materially and adversely affects the respective businesses and operations of the Company and Coherent; (viii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the completion of the Transaction and/or the restructuring actions; (ix) the ability of the Company to retain and hire key employees; (x) the purchasing patterns of customers and end users; (xi) the timely release of new products and acceptance of such new products by the market; (xii) the introduction of new products by competitors and other competitive responses; (xiii) the Company’s ability to assimilate other recently acquired businesses and realize synergies, cost savings, and opportunities for growth in connection therewith, together with the risks, costs, and uncertainties associated with such acquisitions; (xiv) the Company’s ability to devise and execute strategies to respond to market conditions; (xv) the risks to realizing the benefits of investments in R&D and commercialization of innovations; (xvi) the risks that the Company’s stock price will not trade in line with industrial technology leaders; and/or (xvii) the risks of business and economic disruption related to worldwide health epidemics or outbreaks that may arise. The Company disclaims any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, or otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated in this presentation, all information in this presentation is as of August 15, 2024. This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics relating to the Company’s past performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As required by Regulation G, we have provided reconciliations of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the section captioned “GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION.” 2 Copyright 2024, Coherent.
