Avanex Corporation (Nasdaq: AVNX), a provider of photonic processors that accelerate the deployment of the next-generation optical networks, announced a revised outlook for its fiscal third quarter ended March 30, 2001.

The Company announced that it expects sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2001 to be approximately $30 million and pro forma basic and diluted loss per share to be 3 cents, excluding a pre-tax provision for excess inventory, expected to be $22 million.
