Rhea-AI Summary

The company faced a net loss of $6.1 million, translating to a loss of $0.25 per share. Key drivers included technology upgrades by HDD customers, revealing a $15 million backlog increase in the Thin-film Equipment (TFE) sector. Photonics revenue decreased to $8.4 million due to integration costs with the IVAS platform. Despite challenges, Intevac maintains a strong financial position with $54.1 million in cash and a backlog of $51.7 million.

Positive

• $15 million increase in TFE backlog.
• Continued investment from the U.S. Military in Intevac's Photonics.
• Strong cash position of $54.1 million.

Negative

• Net loss of $6.1 million for Q2 2021.
• Revenues declined from $28.8 million in Q2 2020 to $13.8 million in Q2 2021.
• TFE gross margin dropped to 18.7% from 36.4% in Q2 2020.

Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended July 3, 2021.

“We are pleased to report revenues above forecast for the second quarter, chiefly as a result of the acceleration of technology upgrades by our hard disk drive (HDD) customers,” commented Wendell Blonigan, president and chief executive officer. “We announced a record HDD upgrade order in June, which also drove the majority of the $15 million increase in backlog in our Thin-film Equipment (TFE) business in the quarter. In our Photonics business, we announced two new development program awards in June, both of which are aimed at improving the low light level night vision performance of the current IVAS headset.

“In addition to these announcements, we are pleased to report positive developments on multiple other fronts during the second quarter. First, with recent HDD industry reports indicating continued upside in mass-capacity drives and overall HDD units, as well as in total media units and exabytes shipped, the discussions with our customers to add media capacity have resumed. Furthermore, we continued to attain progress with our INTEVAC VERTEX® protective coating programs, which increases our confidence in new orders as well as for our overall VERTEX growth initiative. Lastly, the U.S. Military continues to invest in Intevac Photonics as a key night vision technology provider for all of its digital programs, including IVAS.” Mr. Blonigan concluded, “While 2021 is a challenging year, we continue to maintain solid financial footing, with a strong balance sheet, increasing orders and backlog, and continued momentum on a number of programs and growth initiatives that put Intevac firmly on a path for growth in 2022 and beyond.”

Second Quarter 2021 Summary

The net loss for the quarter was $6.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020.

Revenues were $13.8 million, including $5.4 million of TFE revenues and $8.4 million of Photonics revenues. TFE revenues consisted of upgrades, spares and service. Photonics revenues consisted of $3.2 million of research and development contracts and $5.3 million of product sales. In the second quarter of 2020, revenues were $28.8 million, including $16.6 million of TFE revenues, which consisted of two 200 Lean HDD systems, upgrades, spares and service, and Photonics revenues of $12.2 million, which included $6.1 million of research and development contracts and $6.1 million of product sales.

TFE gross margin was 18.7% compared to 36.4% in the second quarter of 2020 and 23.1% in the first quarter of 2021. The decline from the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to lower revenues which affected factory utilization.

Photonics gross margin was 24.9% compared to 43.9% in the second quarter of 2020 and 13.1% in the first quarter of 2021. The decline from the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to lower revenue levels, as well as higher costs related to completing the integration of our camera into the IVAS platform. The improvement from the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a sequential increase in revenues and higher margins on development programs. Consolidated gross margin was 22.5%, compared to 39.6% in the second quarter of 2020 and 18.8% in the first quarter of 2021.

R&D and SG&A expenses were $9.4 million, compared to $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Order backlog totaled $51.7 million on July 3, 2021, compared to $43.1 million on April 3, 2021 and $69.0 million on June 27, 2020. Backlog at July 3, 2021, April 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 did not include any 200 Lean HDD systems.

The Company ended the quarter with $54.1 million of total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments and $91.7 million in tangible book value.

First Six Months 2021 Summary

The net loss was $12.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2020.

Revenues were $30.1 million, including $14.6 million of TFE revenues and $15.4 million of Photonics revenues, compared to first-half 2020 revenues of $47.7 million, which included $24.6 million of TFE revenues and $23.1 million of Photonics revenues.

TFE gross margin declined to 21.5%, compared to 38.9% in the first six months of 2020, primarily due to lower revenues and less favorable product mix. Photonics gross margin declined to 19.6%, compared to 43.4% in the first six months of 2020, primarily due to higher costs related to completing the integration of our camera into the IVAS platform, as well as lower product margins. Consolidated gross margin was 20.5%, compared to 41.1% in the first six months of 2020.

R&D and SG&A expenses were $19.0 million compared to $18.6 million in the first six months of 2020.
