"Coherent had a very strong fourth fiscal quarter that capped a record setting year. Mix and volume were favorably aligned, especially within our FPD business, enabling us to handily exceed the high end of our long-term EBITDA goals. Record backlog and a strong order pipeline have us very well positioned for fiscal 2017," said John Ambroseo, Coherent's president and chief executive officer. "We are also pleased to have received clearance from the European Commission to complete the acquisition of Rofin conditional on the divestment of Rofin’s low-power CO2 business in Hull, England." Ambroseo added.
