SANTA CLARA, Calif. — BUSINESS WIRE — 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."
