INTEVAC ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Santa Clara, Calif.—February 3, 2016—Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended January 2, 2016.

Highlights for Fiscal 2015:

 

    Revenues at the high end of guidance, up 15% from 2014

 

    Gross margin improved 842bp, compared to 2014

 

    Orders up 43% from 2014 – reflecting 40% and 47% increases in Thin-Film Equipment and Photonics, respectively

 

    Achieved sign-off on first VERTEX™ system for display cover panel; received order on second system from a new Tier 1 customer

 

    Achieved sign-off on first MATRIX™ PVD system for solar; received order on second system from a new Tier 1 customer

 

    Passed key milestones of joint development program and received first MATRIX implant order from Tier 1 solar customer

 

    Multiple contract awards in Photonics, and $25 million funding vehicle in place for next-generation sensor development

 

    Upgrades, spares and services for the hard disk drive industry up over 130% from 2014

 

    Executed $18.5 million in stock repurchases, bringing the cumulative total to $28.5 million at year-end out of a $30 million plan

“2015 was a year of execution on our strategic growth initiatives; and we made significant progress on all fronts,” commented Wendell Blonigan, president and chief executive officer of Intevac. “We won new Tier 1 customers in our growth markets for our Thin-Film Equipment business, we increased the program opportunity pipeline for Photonics, and raised revenue guidance each quarter based upon significant strengthening of upgrade business with our hard disk drive customers. We accomplished all this while demonstrating a disciplined approach to capital management and reducing R&D and SG&A expenses by 5% compared to 2014. We limited the decline in cash, restricted cash and investments, net of stock repurchases, to $3.5 million for the full year, well below our $5 million goal. As we enter 2016, we expect revenues for the year to be weighted toward the second half, as we continue to execute on our Thin-Film Equipment growth strategy. Based on our customers’ current factory build-out plans, continued traction and follow-on system orders will help us achieve our 2016 objective to be cash flow positive from operations.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2015 Summary

The net loss for the quarter was $2.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $14.4 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. The non-GAAP net loss was $2.4 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss $5.2 million, or $0.23 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2014.

Revenues were $16.4 million, including $8.3 million of Thin-film Equipment revenues and Photonics revenues of $8.1 million. Thin-film Equipment revenues consisted of upgrades, spares and service. Photonics revenues included $1.4 million of research and development contracts. In the fourth quarter of 2014, revenues were $19.1 million, including $9.1 million of Thin-film Equipment revenues and Photonics revenues of $10.0 million, which included $2.3 million of research and development contracts.

Thin-film Equipment gross margin was 41.8% compared to (20.1)% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 17.8% in the third quarter of 2015. The improvement from the fourth quarter of 2014 and the third quarter of 2015 reflected a higher mix of higher-margin upgrades and improved factory absorption.Thin-film Equipment gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2014 reflected a $3.1 million reserve against certain solar implant inventory, equivalent to 34.3 percentage points of margin. Thin-film Equipment gross margin in the third quarter of 2015 reflected the lower margin on the first MATRIX PVD system for solar panels.

Photonics gross margin was 39.6% compared to 44.4% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 35.5% in the third quarter of 2015. The decline from the fourth quarter of 2014 was due to lower margins on technology development contracts and higher factory overhead due to the modified cost structure implemented in the second quarter of 2015. The improvement from the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to improved sensor yields, offset in part by lower margins on technology development contracts. Consolidated gross margin was 40.7%, compared to 13.6% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and 26.7% in the third quarter of 2015.


R&D and SG&A expenses were $8.9 million, compared to $8.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2015.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Intevac’s non-GAAP results exclude the impact of the following, where applicable: (1) changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities associated with business combinations; (2) restructuring charges and (3) deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

1  Results for all periods presented include changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations associated with the Solar Implant Technology (SIT) acquisition in 2010.
2  Results for all periods presented include severance and other employee-related costs related to various restructuring programs.
3  In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the company determined based upon an evaluation of all available objectively verifiable evidence, including but not limited to the company’s Singapore operations falling into a cumulative four year loss, that a non-cash valuation allowance should be established against its Singapore deferred tax assets which are comprised of accumulated and unused Singapore net operating losses and other temporary book-tax differences. The establishment of a non-cash valuation allowance on the company’s Singapore deferred tax assets does not have any impact on its cash, nor does such an allowance preclude the company from utilizing its tax losses or other deferred tax assets in future periods.
4  The amount represents the estimated income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments. The company calculated the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments by applying an applicable estimated jurisdictional tax rate to each specific non-GAAP item.
