Intevac Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Wed, August 3 2022

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2022.

Q2 Highlights:

- Total backlog at quarter-end increased to over $100 million
- Revenues exceeded forecast at $9.3 million
- Gross margin of 48% was above forecast primarily due to favorable mix; and with continued control of expenses, our net loss from continuing operations was reduced to $0.10 per share, an improvement compared to the prior quarter and year-ago period
- Maintained strength of balance sheet, with $110 million in total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments at quarter-end; with subsequent receipt of customer deposits adding to our cash balance in Q3 to date

“We are pleased to report improved financial results for the second quarter of 2022, with upside to our forecast for revenues, gross margin, and net earnings,” commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. “With continued strong order momentum in our hard disk drive (HDD) business, we grew backlog to $100 million at quarter-end, reflecting the technology investments and media capacity expansion plans being deployed by HDD industry leaders over the next few years. Importantly, all expansions are taking place on our industry-leading 200 Lean® platform, either through the previously-announced new system purchases or our multi-year tool upgrade and refurbishment program. These backlog levels, along with our continued close partnership with our customers to enable their future media technology roadmaps, continue to support our forecast for at least $200 million of HDD revenues in the 2022 to 2025 timeframe.

“Given the recent softening in some areas of technology spending, we now expect our customers will spread their media capacity additions more evenly across the next three years, which we believe will result in continued year-over-year revenue growth for our HDD business as we look beyond 2022. Additional drivers for revenue growth beyond the HDD market are focused squarely on Intevac’s proprietary TRIO™ technology and manufacturing platform, which we believe offers a compelling solution that addresses the display cover glass market’s most pressing challenges. Our expertise and world-leading knowledge in materials science and creating highly precise and durable coatings from 30 years of HDD developments underpins this new innovation.” Mr. Hunton concluded, “We continue our targeted approach to increasing our revenue growth potential in order to move towards profitability and increased stockholder value. At the same time, we are steadfastly focused on streamlining the company, maintaining the strength of the balance sheet, and we continue to expect to end fiscal 2022 with a similarly strong cash position as year-end 2021.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Intevac’s non-GAAP results exclude the impact, where applicable, of restructuring charges, fixed asset disposals associated with a restructuring program and discontinued operations. A reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the financial tables included in this release.

Management uses non-GAAP results to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance in light of business objectives and for planning purposes. These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. Intevac believes these measures enhance investors’ ability to review the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
