Lumentum Holdings Inc

Lumentum Holdings Inc. ("we," "us," "our", "Lumentum" or the "Company") is a global leader in optical and photonic technologies and an industry-leading provider of optical and photonic products based on revenue and market share. Our products are essential to a range of cloud, artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI/ML"), telecommunications, consumer, and industrial end-market applications. We operate in one reportable segment as a single, integrated enterprise. See "Note 17. Operating Segments and Geographic Information" to the consolidated financial statements.

We disaggregate revenue by type of product, which are Components and Systems, and by geography. A Components product is defined as one of the individual building blocks that goes into creating a larger solution. It is typically not a complete solution on its own but rather a specialized element that enables system functionality. This includes semiconductor laser chips, laser sub-assemblies, line subsystems and wavelength management systems. These are supplied to customers who then integrate them into their own full system solutions. Components represent foundational parts that support or enable that system’s operation and include optical chips and subsystems that are supplied to cloud data center operators, AI/ML infrastructure providers, and network equipment manufacturer customers.

A Systems product is defined as a complete, stand-alone solution that delivers full functionality to the end customer. It is typically self-contained and ready to operate within a customer’s network or application environment. This includes optical modules, optical circuit switches, and industrial lasers such as short-pulse solid-state lasers and kilowatt-class fiber lasers. These products integrate multiple technologies and subsystems into a finished solution that directly addresses a customer’s needs. A system represents the end-product that can be deployed and used independently.

Our products enable high-capacity optical links for cloud computing, AI/ML workloads, and data center interconnect ("DCI") applications, as well as for communications service provider networks. Our offerings support access (local), metro (intracity), long-haul (intercity and global), and submarine (undersea) network infrastructure. Our products serve enterprise network infrastructure needs, including storage area networks ("SANs"), local area networks ("LANs"), and wide area networks ("WANs"). Demand for our products is fueled by the ongoing expansion of network capacity required to support cloud services, AI/ML processing, streaming video, video conferencing, wireless and mobile connectivity, and the internet of things ("IoT"). In addition, our industrial laser products are used for precision material processing across diverse industries, including semiconductor and microelectronics fabrication, electric vehicle and battery production, metal cutting and welding, and advanced manufacturing that emphasize greater manufacturing precision, flexibility, and sustainability.
