Intevac Inc. Reports Financial Results for Third-Quarter 2006

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — BUSINESS WIRE — October 30, 2006

Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq:IVAC) reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Net income for the quarter was $9.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share on 21.9 million weighted-average shares outstanding, which included $878,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. For third-quarter 2005, net income was $6.2 million, or $0.29 per share on 21.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding, which did not include non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Revenues for the quarter were $54.8 million, including $51.6 million of Equipment revenues and $3.2 million of Imaging revenues. Equipment revenues consisted of nine magnetic media manufacturing systems, disk lubrication systems, equipment upgrades, spares, consumables, and service. Imaging revenues consisted of $2.7 million of research and development contracts and $465,000 of product sales. In third-quarter 2005, net revenues were $43.5 million, including $41.5 million of Equipment revenues and $2.0 million of Imaging revenues, which included $343,000 of product sales.

Equipment gross margins for the quarter rose to 42.5% from 32.0% in third-quarter 2005, and Imaging gross margins increased to 41.1% from 13.8% in third-quarter 2005. Equipment margins improved primarily from lower manufacturing costs, higher average selling prices for 200 Lean(R) systems, and higher sales of spares and upgrades. Imaging margins improved primarily as the result of favorable adjustments related to closing our prior year government rate audits and a higher percentage of revenue being derived from fully funded development contracts. Consolidated gross margins improved to 42.5% from 31.2% in third-quarter 2005.

Operating expenses for the quarter totaled $14.1 million, or 26% of revenues, versus $7.6 million, or 18% of revenues, in third-quarter 2005. Operating expenses increased as the result of higher spending in Equipment related to research and development and business development, provisions for employee profit sharing and bonus plans, and the inclusion of stock-based compensation expense in third-quarter 2006 results.

Net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $25.4 million, or $1.16 per diluted share on 21.9 million weighted-average shares outstanding, which included $2.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. For the first nine-months of 2005, net income was $6.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share on 21.1 million weighted-average shares outstanding, which did not include non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2006 were $164.0 million, including $155.7 million of Equipment revenues and $8.3 million of Imaging revenues. Equipment revenues consisted of 29 magnetic media manufacturing systems, disk lubrication systems, equipment upgrades, spares, consumables, and service. Imaging revenues consisted of $7.0 million of research and development contracts and $1.3 million of product sales. In the first nine months of 2005, net revenues were $84.5 million, including $78.4 million of Equipment revenues and $6.1 million of Imaging revenues.

Equipment and Imaging gross margins for the first nine-months of 2006 increased to 38.0% and 31.6%, respectively, from 31.2% and 12.7%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2005. Equipment margins for the quarter improved primarily from lower manufacturing costs, higher average selling prices for 200 Lean(R) systems, and increased sales of spares and upgrades. Imaging margins improved primarily as the result of favorable adjustments related to closing our prior year government rate audits and a higher percentage of revenue being derived from fully funded development contracts. Consolidated gross margins improved to 37.7% from 29.8% in the first nine months of 2005.

Order backlog totaled $129.7 million on September 30, 2006, compared to $96.2 million on July 1, 2006, and $65.4 million on October 1, 2005. Backlog as of September 30, 2006, included twenty-four 200 Lean systems and excludes orders for two 200 Lean systems subsequently received.

Intevac Chief Executive Kevin Fairbairn commented: "This was a tremendous quarter for Intevac. We delivered significantly more revenue and net income than we expected at the beginning of the quarter. Our Imaging business significantly improved its financial performance and received its first volume production order for LIVAR(R) cameras. Good progress was made in both Equipment and Imaging in new product development activities that will drive the future growth of the company."

The non-GAAP measures provided herein exclude the impact of non-cash
charges related to stock-based compensation expense. We believe these
measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternative
method for measuring the operating performance of the Company's
business, excluding stock-based compensation expense, and provide for
comparability between periods due the absence of stock-based
compensation in comparative prior year periods.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from
non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP
financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or
superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
