SANTA CLARA, Calif. — BUSINESS WIRE — April 30, 2007

April 30, 2007--Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq:IVAC) reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Net income for the first quarter was $9.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, on 22.2 million weighted-average shares outstanding. Net income included $1.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.04 per diluted share; $1.4 million of flat panel license fees, equivalent to $0.04 per diluted share; and $101,000 of intangible amortization expense, related to the Company's acquisition of certain assets of Delta Nu, LLC on January 31, 2007. For first-quarter 2006, net income was $7.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, on 21.8 million weighted average shares outstanding, which included $428,000 of stock-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.02 per diluted share.

Revenues for the quarter were $76.4 million, including $72.5 million of Equipment revenues and record Imaging revenues of $3.9 million. Equipment revenues consisted of thirteen magnetic media manufacturing systems, equipment upgrades, spares, consumables, and service. Imaging revenues consisted of $2.8 million of research and development contracts and $1.1 million of product sales. In first-quarter 2006, net revenues were $49.6 million, including $47.6 million of Equipment revenues and $2.0 million of Imaging revenues, which included $501,000 of product sales.

Equipment gross margins for the quarter rose to a record 43.3% from 35.2% in first quarter 2006, and Imaging gross margins increased to 36.6% from 26.2% in first-quarter 2006. Equipment margins improved primarily due to lower manufacturing costs, and higher sales of spares and upgrades. Imaging margins improved primarily as the result of higher margins on development contracts and favorable adjustments related to contract closeouts. Consolidated gross margins improved to 42.9% from 34.9% in first-quarter 2006.

Operating expenses for the quarter totaled $19.7 million, or 25.8% of revenues, versus $10.7 million, or 21.5% of revenues, in first-quarter 2006. Operating expenses grew primarily as the result of increased spending on development of new Equipment products, increased business development expense and higher stock based compensation expense.

Order backlog totaled $92.8 million on March 31, 2007, compared to $125.0 million on December 31, 2006, and $124.8 million on April 1, 2006. Backlog as of March 31, 2007 includes fourteen 200 Lean systems.
