Intevac Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2023.

“2023 has been a year of both immense change for Intevac, as well as tremendous opportunity,” commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. “We are excited about continued progress in our joint development program for our groundbreaking TRIO platform year to date. Our JDA partner, one of the world’s leading innovators in glass and glass-ceramic materials for mobile consumer electronics applications, with whom we entered a joint development agreement for the TRIO platform in fiscal 2022, is currently evaluating the TRIO tool built by Intevac. The next step will be to move into the formal qualification cycle planned for this month. This partnership presents significant potential for revenue growth for Intevac as we look toward the next few years. During this period, while visibility in the hard disk drive (HDD) industry continues to present operational challenges for a company of our size, there is no doubt that our differentiated position as a key technology enabler is reinforcing the importance of our partnerships with our customers in the critical advancements of the industry’s technology roadmap. Finally, we expect our current restructuring efforts, which are anticipated to be completed by the end of the third quarter, will enable the Company to be cash-flow neutral from the P&L for fiscal 2024.”

Subsequent Event

Intevac expects to incur restructuring costs of $1.8 million in estimated severance and other employee-related expenses associated with the 2023 Cost Reduction Plan. Substantially all cash outlays in connection with the 2023 Cost Reduction Plan are expected to occur in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Implementation of the 2023 Cost Reduction Plan is expected to reduce salary, wages, and other employee-related expenses and contractor payments by approximately $4.0 million on an annual basis.

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.
