Intevac Announces Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Mon, July 29 2019

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2019.

Q2 Highlights

- Photonics backlog grew to $43.4 million at quarter-end, and has since increased to approximately $83 million with receipt of new record order
- Photonics revenues of over $9 million, highest level since mid-2017
- Shipped VERTEX Spectra™ evaluation system to leading display cover glass manufacturer
- Finalized agreement to ship INTEVAC MATRIX® PVD evaluation system to leading outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (“OSAT”) manufacturer in the advanced semiconductor packaging market
- ENERGi® customer requested accelerated deliveries of remaining tools in backlog
- Revenues exceeded guidance primarily as a result of accelerated timing of hard disk drive (“HDD”) media upgrades into the first half of the year
- Two new independent directors, Dotty Hayes and Michele Klein, appointed to the Board

“The second quarter of 2019 was an important period of progress toward our growth and profitability objectives,” commented Wendell Blonigan, president and chief executive officer. “We delivered financial results that exceeded our forecast, with a strong quarter-over-quarter rebound in Photonics revenues and a pull-in of technology upgrades in our HDD media business. The rebound in Photonics revenues is being driven primarily by the IVAS contract award announced last December, which has since expanded in scope – to total $31.5 million – the largest Photonics award on record until this month. Earlier in July, we announced a new record order in Photonics, a $40 million award for multi-year night-vision camera deliveries in support of the U.S. Government. These record orders in Photonics support the continued growth trajectory for this business as well as demonstrate the key enabling role served by our digital night-vision technology.

“We also made significant progress during the quarter in our Thin-film Equipment (“TFE”) growth initiatives, finalizing evaluation agreements for both the VERTEX Spectra in the display cover glass market, and the INTEVAC MATRIX PVD system for advanced semiconductor packaging. The Spectra shipped in June, has now been installed, and we expect it will be quickly qualified for decorative back-cover glass applications by a leading display cover glass manufacturer. The MATRIX is scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter to a leading OSAT manufacturer, where we expect it will demonstrate the compelling technological and cost-of-ownership benefits of our platform. We are also ahead of schedule to ship the five ENERGi solar ion implant systems in the third quarter. Our positive results and progress during the second quarter support our objectives for revenue growth and profitability going forward,” added Mr. Blonigan. “Finally, in the second quarter we were pleased to announce the appointment of two new directors to our Board. Ms. Hayes and Ms. Klein bring a strong combination of company leadership, financial expertise and industry experience, and we look forward to their contributions to our Board.”

Second Quarter 2019 Summary

The net loss for the quarter was $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $167,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018. The non-GAAP net loss was $1.2 million or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to the second-quarter 2018 non-GAAP net loss of $158,000 or $0.01 per diluted share.

Revenues were $22.3 million, including $13.3 million of TFE revenues and $9.1 million of Photonics revenues. TFE revenues consisted of one 200 Lean HDD system, upgrades, spares and service. Photonics revenues consisted of $5.1 million of research and development contracts and $4.0 million of product sales. In the second quarter of 2018, revenues were $26.1 million, including $20.8 million of TFE revenues, which consisted of two 200 Lean HDD systems, upgrades, spares and service, and Photonics revenues of $5.3 million, which included $2.5 million of product sales and $2.8 million of research and development contracts.

TFE gross margin was 38.9% compared to 41.7% in the second quarter of 2018 and 31.5% in the first quarter of 2019. The decline from the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to lower revenues and lower factory absorption, while the increase from the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to more favorable product mix.

Photonics gross margin was 35.4% compared to 20.4% in the second quarter of 2018 and 21.5% in the first quarter of 2019. The improvement from the second quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to higher revenue levels and improved margins on both product sales and research and development contracts. Consolidated gross margin was 37.5%, compared to 37.4% in the second quarter of 2018 and 29.2% in the first quarter of 2019.

R&D and SG&A expenses were $9.3 million, compared to $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Order backlog totaled $93.7 million on June 29, 2019, compared to $102.6 million on March 30, 2019 and $64.6 million on June 30, 2018. Backlog at June 29, 2019 included four 200 Lean HDD systems and five ENERGi solar ion implant systems. Backlog at March 30, 2019 included five 200 Lean HDD systems and five ENERGi solar ion implant systems. Backlog at June 30, 2018 included three 200 Lean HDD systems and twelve ENERGi solar ion implant systems.

The Company ended the quarter with $40.5 million of total cash, restricted cash and investments and $87.8 million in tangible book value, defined as total stockholders’ equity, less intangible assets.

First Six Months 2019 Summary

The net loss was $3.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2018. The non-GAAP net loss was $3.6 million or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to the first-half 2018 non-GAAP net loss of $5.2 million or $0.23 per diluted share.

Revenues were $47.1 million, including $32.2 million of TFE revenues and $14.9 million of Photonics revenues, compared to first-half 2018 revenues of $44.1 million, which included $33.6 million of TFE revenues and $10.4 million of Photonics revenues.

TFE gross margin was 34.6%, a decline compared to 39.4% in the first six months of 2018, as a result of lower revenues and less favorable product mix. Photonics gross margin was 29.9% compared to 13.4% in the first six months of 2018. The improvement from the first half of 2018 was primarily due to higher revenue levels and improved margins on both product sales and research and development contracts. Consolidated gross margin was 33.1%, compared to 33.2% in the first six months of 2018.

R&D and SG&A expenses were $18.5 million compared to $19.7 million in the first six months of 2018. The lower level of expenses reflects lower spending on development costs.
