Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq:IVAC) today reported financial results for the
fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.
"2011 was a challenging year for our equipment business, driven first by
reduced capital investments in the hard disk drive industry due to the
announced consolidations, and compounded by the effects of the
devastating flooding in Thailand," commented Kevin Fairbairn, president
and chief executive officer of Intevac. "As we look ahead to 2012, we
are projecting revenue growth in each of our businesses. We expect to
see a recovery in our hard drive equipment business in the second half
of the year as the consolidations are completed and as the industry
recovers from the effects of the flooding. Additionally, we anticipate
increasing sales of our solar manufacturing systems, and also expect a
return to growth in our Photonics business, as the impacts of the
military budget delays in 2011 are now behind us.
"During the fourth quarter, we achieved two key milestones in our
equipment diversification strategy. First, we recognized revenue on our
first LEAN SOLARTM crystalline silicon deposition
system, and second, we shipped our first LEAN SOLAR etch system to a
leading Asian solar cell manufacturer. In our Photonics business, we
have improved our gross margins by 500 basis points as compared to
fiscal year 2010, as we continue to improve our sensor yields,"
concluded Mr. Fairbairn.
Fourth Quarter 2011 Summary
The net loss was $6.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to
net income of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the fourth
quarter of 2010.
Revenues were $18.6 million, including $12.5 million of Equipment
revenues and Intevac Photonics revenues of $6.1 million. Equipment
revenues consisted of one LEAN SOLAR system, upgrades, spares and
service. Intevac Photonics revenues consisted of $1.8 million of
research and development contracts and $4.3 million of product sales or
71% of Photonics revenues. In the fourth quarter of 2010, revenues were
$36.2 million, including $26.8 million of Equipment revenues and Intevac
Photonics revenues of $9.4 million, which included $5.1 million of
product sales.
Equipment gross margin was 36.4%, compared to 47.7% in the fourth
quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of decreased revenues and lower
factory utilization. Intevac Photonics gross margin of 30.0% improved
compared to 19.1% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase was
primarily a result of improved manufacturing and warranty costs related
to our night vision camera module for our NATO customer. Consolidated
gross margin was 34.3%, compared to 40.3% in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Operating expenses were $14.9 million, compared to $14.5 million in the
fourth quarter of 2010 and increased primarily as a result of additional
R&D investments in new equipment products.
Order backlog totaled $32.9 million on December 31, 2011, compared to
$26.2 million on October 1, 2011 and $46.7 million on December 31, 2010.
Backlog as of December 31, 2011 and of October 1, 2011 included one
Solar system and no 200 Lean systems. Backlog as of December 31, 2010
included two 200 Lean systems.
Fiscal Year 2011 Summary
The net loss was $22.0 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to
net income of $28.0 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for 2010.
Revenues were $83.0 million, including $54.9 million of Equipment
revenues and Intevac Photonics revenues of $28.1 million, compared to
revenues of $202.5 million, including $168.3 million of Equipment
revenues and Intevac Photonics revenues of $34.3 million, for 2010.
Equipment gross margin was 40.7%, compared to 47.2% in 2010, primarily
as a result of lower revenues and lower factory utilization. Intevac
Photonics gross margin of 28.9% improved compared to 23.9% in 2010,
reflecting lower manufacturing and warranty costs related to our night
vision camera module for our NATO customer. Consolidated gross margin
was 36.7%, compared to 43.3% in 2010. Operating expenses were $61.2
million, compared to $56.4 million in 2010, and increased primarily as a
result of additional R&D investments in new equipment products.
