Intevac Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Mon, April 27 2020

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 28, 2020.

“Today we are pleased to report stronger-than-expected results for the first quarter of 2020, especially in light of the stress placed on our operations and supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic,” commented Wendell Blonigan, president and chief executive officer of Intevac. “During the quarter, we made several exciting announcements, including the debut of our branded Diamond Dog™ screen protectors, over $11 million of new contract awards in our Photonics business, and the finalization of the agreement to install a second INTEVAC VERTEX® evaluation system at a leading display cover glass manufacturer. Late in the quarter, our Santa Clara operations were impacted by the ‘shelter-in-place’ order that commenced in the Bay Area region on March 17th; however, with both our Thin-film Equipment (TFE) and Photonics businesses designated as within critical IT and Defense infrastructure sectors, Santa Clara factory operations resumed on March 30th, with employees working remotely wherever possible.

“The favorable results for Q1 were primarily driven by strong execution by our Photonics team, as they are doing an outstanding job delivering on the strong growth ramp expected for this business in 2020, which continues to proceed as planned. With Q1 TFE revenues aligned with our earlier forecasts, the team executed well, with both gross margin and operating expenses exceeding expectations in this challenging quarter.

“As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, specifically with activity in China and other hard-hit areas, we are experiencing delays in the progress of several TFE engineering programs, as well as the capacity expansion timelines we are driving in our 2020 plan. We anticipate these delays will elongate the sales process with our solar, display cover glass, and advanced semiconductor packaging growth initiatives in particular. Despite operating in this unprecedented environment, we remain confident in our strategy as we work through all the unknowns ahead. We have improved our balance sheet and operate on a very strong financial footing, and are confident we can continue to make solid progress toward our strategic growth objectives in this extremely challenging environment. I am also pleased to report that all of our employees around the world are well,” concluded Mr. Blonigan. “We are taking every precaution to protect and ensure the safety of our employees as they continue to perform essential work for the Company and the critical markets we serve.”

First Quarter 2020 Summary

The net loss was $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2019.

Revenues were $18.8 million, including $8.0 million of TFE revenues and $10.9 million of Photonics revenues. TFE revenues consisted of upgrades, spares and service.

Photonics revenues consisted of $2.7 million of product sales and $3.2 million of research and development contracts.

TFE gross margin improved to 44.0%, compared to 31.5% in the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to favorable product mix. Photonics gross margin improved to 42.8%, compared to 21.5% in the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to higher revenue levels and higher margins on both products and technology development contracts. Consolidated gross margin was 43.3%, compared to 29.2% in the first quarter of 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Intevac's non-GAAP results exclude the impact, where applicable, of changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities associated with business combinations. 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.
