INTEVAC ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2009 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Santa Clara, Calif.—February 2, 2010—Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.
Net income for the quarter was $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, on 22.7 million weighted-average shares outstanding. Net income included $546,000 of equity-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.02 per diluted share. For the fourth quarter of 2008, the net loss was $12.6 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, on 21.8 million weighted-average shares outstanding, which included goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $10.5 million, equivalent to $0.34 per diluted share, and $1.6 million of equity-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.06 per diluted share.
Revenues for the quarter were $34.2 million, including $26.9 million of Equipment revenues and Intevac Photonics revenues of $7.3 million. Equipment revenues included three 200 Lean® systems, as well as upgrades, spares and service. Intevac Photonics revenues consisted of $4.6 million of research and development contracts and $2.7 million of product sales or 37.1% of Photonics revenues. For the fourth quarter of 2008, revenues were $16.4 million, including $11.9 million of Equipment revenues and $4.5 million of Intevac Photonics revenues, which included $1.6 million of product sales or 36.4% of Photonics revenues.
Equipment gross margin was 48.8%, compared to 48.2% in the third quarter of 2009 and 41.4% in the fourth quarter of 2008. The sequential improvement in Equipment gross margin reflected increased business levels partially offset by a higher mix of systems, while the year-over-year increase reflected increased business levels and improved system margins. Intevac Photonics gross margin was 29.2%, compared to 40.1% in the third quarter of 2009 and 19.5% in the fourth quarter of 2008. The sequential decrease in Photonics gross margin reflected initial higher costs as we began to ramp to high-volume production of our digital night-vision camera module to our NATO customer, while the year-over-year increase reflected improved overall product margins. Consolidated gross margin was 44.6%, compared to 45.3% in the third quarter of 2009 and 35.3% in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter totaled $11.2 million, a decline of 25.9% compared to $15.1 million, in the fourth quarter of 2008 and a decline of 9.9% compared to $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2009. These declines resulted from our global cost reduction plan.
The net loss for the full year 2009 was $10.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, on 22.0 million weighted-average shares outstanding. The net loss included $4.3 million of equity-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.14 per diluted share. The net loss for the full year 2008 was $15.3 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, on 21.7 million weighted-average shares outstanding. The 2008 net loss included the goodwill and intangibles asset impairment charges of $10.5 million, equivalent to $0.34 per diluted share. The 2008 net loss also included $6.6 million of equity-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.22 per diluted share.
Revenues for the full year 2009 were $78.0 million, including $51.4 million of Equipment revenues and $26.6 million of Intevac Photonics revenues. Equipment revenues consisted of four 200 Lean® systems as well as disk lubrication systems, equipment upgrades, spares and service. Intevac Photonics revenues consisted of $16.1 million of research and development contracts and $10.5 million of product sales or 39.5% of Photonics revenues. For the full year 2008, revenues were $110.3 million, including $87.5 million of Equipment revenues and $22.8 million of Intevac Photonics revenues, which included $8.5 million of product sales or 37.2% of Photonics revenues.
Equipment and Intevac Photonics gross margins for the year were 45.3% and 35.6%, respectively, compared to 40.9% and 33.0% in 2008. The improvement in Equipment gross margin reflected changes in product mix to higher-margin technology upgrades partially offset by lower revenues and factory absorption. The increase in Intevac Photonics margin reflected higher-margin development contracts and an increased percentage of revenue derived from higher-margin product shipments. Consolidated gross margins were 42.0%, compared to 39.3% in 2008.
Research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses for the full year totaled $50.1 million, and declined 20.9% from $63.3 million in 2008, primarily due to decreased spending on development of new Equipment products as well as cost savings resulting from our global cost reduction plan. Total operating expenses in 2008 were $73.8 million and included non-cash asset impairment charges of $10.5 million.
Order backlog totaled $73.8 million on December 31, 2009, compared to $52.2 million on September 26, 2009 and $20.2 million on December 31, 2008. Backlog at year end includes ten 200 Lean® systems, compared to five on September 26, 2009 and one on December 31, 2008.
“We are pleased to report our return to profitability in the fourth quarter of 2009,” commented Kevin Fairbairn, president and chief executive officer of Intevac. “2009 started off as a challenging year for the hard drive industry, yet by the second half the industry was struggling to keep up with demand with our customers’ factories running at record utilization rates. Customers and analysts are predicting ongoing growth for 2010 and indicative of these positive market dynamics are our recently-announced multiple-system orders for incremental new capacity and legacy tool retirements.
“Further, we continued to demonstrate our operational capabilities in the fourth quarter, exceeding guidance in profitability, by focusing on driving short term incremental business while exercising tight control of expenses. Finally, our Intevac Photonics business achieved record revenues for the fourth quarter and full year, and made positive progress in 2009 with several new contracts and higher-volume production ramps on multiple platforms utilizing our digital low-light camera and Raman system technologies,” concluded Mr. Fairbairn.
