Intevac Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

November 02, 2022 at 16:05 PM EDT

Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2022.

Q3 Highlights:

Total backlog at quarter-end increased to over $110 million
Revenues exceeded forecast at $10.8 million
Gross margin of 45.5% was above forecast primarily due to favorable mix, and our net loss from continuing operations was above guidance at $0.13 per share
Further built upon our balance sheet strength, with $125 million in total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments at quarter-end

“We are pleased to report financial results exceeding our forecast for the third quarter of 2022, with upside in revenues, gross margin, and net earnings, as well as positive cash flow generation,” commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. “2022 is shaping up to be one of our strongest bookings years on record, with year-to-date orders topping $110 million. While the hard disk drive (HDD) industry has witnessed a sharp decline in demand since earlier this year, the importance of this market long-term and the future growth trajectory of data storage remain strong. As such, our customers continue to execute on multi-year capital investment strategies for technology upgrades and media capacity additions. These multi-year plans have been recently adjusted to defer near-term capacity adds in favor of accelerating technology upgrades, which are being deployed aggressively during this current period of reduced capacity utilization levels. We are pleased to report that our forecast for continued growth in our HDD business over the next several years is largely unchanged with this recent shift in investment strategy.

“Our revenue growth strategy beyond the HDD market is focused squarely on Intevac’s novel TRIO™ platform, and we are pleased to report today that we have executed a non-binding term sheet with Corning Incorporated. The objective of our partnership is the development and deployment of the TRIO platform to apply coatings to Corning’s glass and glass ceramic materials, as Corning is a leading player in the use of these materials in consumer electronics applications. We are advancing to a definitive agreement with Corning and expect to have it signed by year-end. Our confidence in the collaboration is such that we are starting to invest in long-lead capital items to support the program, which in turn will have a modest impact on our cash forecast for year-end 2022.” Mr. Hunton concluded, “We continue our targeted approach to increasing our revenue growth potential in order to move towards profitability and increased stockholder value, while remaining steadfastly focused on protecting the Company’s strong balance sheet. We look forward to continued growth and progress as we look to 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. 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.
