Intevac Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Mon, May 9 2022

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

Q1 Highlights:

• Achieved new 12-year record high in quarterly bookings and backlog for thin-film equipment
  • New orders totaled $67 million
  • Backlog increased to $87 million

• Booked $54 million order for multiple 200 Lean® systems
• Announced multi-year upgrade and refurbishment agreement valued at over $20 million
• Completed significant amount of restructuring activities, which included streamlining the Company by eliminating one layer of senior management, as well as ceasing development and marketing activities in multiple growth initiatives
• Limited the Company’s use of cash in Q1 to transaction-related costs, ending the quarter with total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments of $117 million

“The first quarter of 2022 marked multiple important achievements for Intevac, which together build the foundation for future growth and profitability,” commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. “With two major announcements of planned media capacity additions on our industry-leading 200 Lean platform, Intevac is firmly established as the market leader for advanced HDD media production, and the backlog and visibility in our core HDD business is the strongest we’ve seen in at least 12 years, and gives us confidence for the future.

“During my first few months as CEO, we have already completed a significant amount of our restructuring activities, which in the first quarter included the elimination of an entire layer of management and the disposal of equipment that will no longer be utilized. Additional growth potential beyond the HDD industry has now been focused solely on Intevac’s proprietary optically clear ballistic coatings, targeted at providing scratch protection and enhanced durability for multiple applications.” Mr. Hunton concluded, “We will continue our efforts to streamline the Company, make targeted R&D investments and build continued momentum toward our objective of significant revenue growth and a return to profitability in 2023.”

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.
