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

Intevac, Inc. (Company) (Nasdaq: IVAC) reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Net income for the quarter was $11.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, on 22.1 million weighted-average shares outstanding. Net income included $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.05 per diluted share. Second quarter earnings include the effect of adjusting the Company's 2007 year-to-date income tax provision to an effective tax rate of 26.9%, from the 31.6% tax rate provided for in the first quarter of 2007. For the second quarter of 2006, net income was $9.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, on 22.0 million weighted average shares outstanding, which included $695,000 of stock-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.03 per diluted share.

Revenues for the quarter were $72.1 million, including $68.5 million of Equipment revenues and Imaging revenues of $3.6 million. Equipment revenues consisted of twelve 200 Lean® systems as well as disk lubrication systems, equipment upgrades, spares, consumables and service. Imaging revenues consisted of $2.5 million of research and development contracts and $1.1 million of product sales. In the second quarter of 2006, revenues were $59.5 million, including $56.4 million of Equipment revenues and $3.1 million of Imaging revenues, which included $378,000 of product sales.

Equipment and Imaging gross margins for the second quarter of 2007 rose to 43.1% and 39.5%, respectively, from 36.4% and 25.4% in the second quarter of 2006. Equipment margins improved primarily due to lower manufacturing costs as well as higher sales of spares and upgrades. Imaging margins improved primarily as the result of higher margins on development contracts and products. Consolidated gross margins improved to 42.8% from 35.7% in second quarter 2006.

Operating expenses for the quarter totaled $17.5 million, or 24.3% of revenues, versus $11.3 million, or 19.0% of revenues, in the second quarter of 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.

Net income for the first six months of 2007 was $21.4 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, on 22.2 million weighted-average shares outstanding. Net income included $2.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, equivalent to $0.09 per diluted share.

Equipment revenues consisted of twenty-five 200 Lean® systems as well as disk lubrication systems, equipment upgrades, spares, consumables and service.

In the first six months of 2006, revenues were $109.2 million, including $104.1 million of Equipment revenues and $5.1 million of Imaging revenues, which included $879,000 of product sales.

Equipment and Imaging gross margins for the first six months of 2007 increased to 43.2% and 38.0%, respectively, from 35.8% and 25.7% in the first six months of 2006. Equipment margins improved primarily due to lower manufacturing costs as well as 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 42.8% from 35.3% in first six months of 2006.

Operating expenses for the first six months of 2007 totaled $37.2 million, or 25.0% of revenues, versus $22.0 million, or 20.1% of revenues, in the first six months of 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 $57.5 million on June 30, 2007, compared to $92.8 million on March 31, 2007, and $96.2 million on July 1, 2006. Backlog as of June 30, 2007 includes four 200 Lean® systems.
