INTEVAC REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2004 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenues Rise on Customer Acceptance of Nine Disk Sputtering Systems
Santa Clara, Calif. -- October 19, 2004 -- Intevac, Inc. (Company) (Nasdaq:
IVAC) reported financial results for the third quarter and nine-months ended
September 25, 2004.
Total revenues for the quarter were $34.9 million, compared to $7.6 million in
the third quarter of 2003. Equipment revenues were $32.6 million, versus $5.0
million in the third quarter last year. The increase resulted from revenue
recognition of eight next-generation Intevac(R)200 Lean disk sputtering systems
and one Intevac(R)MDP-250B disk sputtering system. Imaging revenues were $2.2
million, down from $2.7 million, due to lower revenues from research and
development contracts.
Net income for the third quarter of 2004 was $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted
share on 20.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding, compared to a net
loss of $2.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share on 12.3 million
weighted-average shares, in the third quarter of 2003. The improvement was
primarily attributable to higher sales of disk manufacturing equipment. The
number of shares outstanding rose primarily as a result of conversion of the
Company's 6 -1/2% convertible notes dues 2009 in November 2003 and the Company's
secondary offering in February 2004.
Total revenues for the first nine months of 2004 were $59.4 million, up from
$24.2 million in the first nine-months of 2003. Equipment revenues were $52.2
million, compared to $17.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was
attributable primarily to higher sales of disk sputtering systems and components
in 2004, which were partially offset by a reduction in sales from flat panel
display manufacturing equipment. Imaging revenues were $7.2 million, up from
$6.4 million in the prior-year period, due to higher revenues from research and
development contracts.
Net loss for the first nine months of 2004 fell to $1.2 million, or $0.06 per
diluted share on 19.6 million weighted-average shares outstanding, from net
losses of $11.7 million, or $0.96 per diluted share on 12.2 million
weighted-average shares, for the same period in 2003. The improvement was
primarily due to the substantial increase in equipment sales with only a slight
increase in operating expenses. Also contributing was a reduction of interest
expense due to conversion of the Company's 6 -1/2% convertible notes and the
absence of $639,000 of fixed-asset write-offs included in 2003 results.
Order backlog totaled $16.2 million on September 25, 2004, compared to $46.4
million on June 26, 2004, and $24.1 million on September 27, 2003. Backlog
declined primarily as the result of the nine disk sputtering systems recognized
for revenue during the quarter.
Intevac Chief Executive Kevin Fairbairn commented: "In our equipment business,
eight 200 Leans were accepted by our first customer. Production on these systems
ramped up
rapidly through the quarter, and they are now producing disks in high volume.
The remaining 200 Lean from this customer was accepted early in the fourth
quarter. We are now competing for the production systems business at a second
large hard-drive manufacturer. Our position as the only supplier with multiple
perpendicular-capable tools in volume production helps us build our case for the
200 Lean as the tool of choice.
"We expect product costs on the next production build of 200 Leans to be about
20% lower than the initial build," Fairbairn continued." The savings are
expected to come from reduced labor and material costs and the absence of
one-time costs related to the initial production build. We also expect that
future 200 Lean systems for perpendicular production will ship in a more fully
populated configuration, which should increase average selling prices and
contribute to margin expansion.
"We expect to see continued variability in our quarterly results, as customers
tend to add capacity and capability to their factories in time for their peak
production quarters," Fairbairn stated. " We believe that production deliveries
of our systems will resume about the middle of 2005."
Fairbairn added: "In our Imaging business, a major milestone and a catalyst for
future growth was the selection, by a major defense contractor, of Intevac's
proprietary low-light-imaging camera technology for use in a next-generation
head-mounted night vision system for a NATO ally. This is a critical win for us.
The program is a multi-phased development and production effort. The development
phase is expected to be completed in Q3 of 2005 and should be followed by a
low-rate initial production phase. Volume production deliveries are expected to
begin in 2006. The market for these advanced head-mounted night vision systems
is significant, as these new systems are designed to replace traditional night
vision tube-based systems, whose market is currently about $350 million a year."
