Intevac Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Santa Clara, Calif.—February 5, 2024—Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC), a leading supplier of thin-film processing systems, today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 30, 2023.
Q4 and Fiscal 2023 Highlights
| • | Successfully completed TRIO™ development program and achieved qualification of initial TRIO system before year-end 2023. |
| • | Q4 sales of $12.9 million exceeded prior expectations due to the acceleration of heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology upgrades for our hard disk drive (HDD) customers. Total revenues of $52.7 million for fiscal 2023 represented very strong growth of 47% year-over-year. |
| • | Achieved all-time record sales of HDD upgrades – for both the fiscal third quarter and full year 2023 – in support of the HAMR technology transition currently underway on our industry-leading 200 Lean® flagship platform. |
| • | Successfully re-negotiated order backlog for two capacity-adding 200 Lean systems during Q4, in favor of additional HAMR process module upgrades. |
| • | Ended 2023 with $72.2 million in cash, restricted cash, and investments, which was slightly below forecast due to delayed collections from our largest customer. |
“We are pleased to announce a strong finish for fiscal 2023, within both of our primary served markets,” commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. “In our HDD business, during what was one of the most challenging years in the industry’s history, we achieved exceptionally strong year-over-year revenue growth of 47% and approached nearly $53 million of sales, the vast majority of which was aimed at enabling our customers to achieve the most significant new technology transition of the industry’s last 20 years. The initial ramp underway of drives incorporating heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology comes as a direct result of Intevac’s long history of HDD leadership and tireless efforts throughout 2023.
“Looking forward, the most important new driver of Intevac’s future revenue growth is our groundbreaking TRIO platform, and our first system achieved qualification in the fourth quarter. This is a key milestone in the growth trajectory of Intevac, as the TRIO achieved key performance metrics that will enable Intevac to address an estimated $1 billion served market.
“The achievements of 2023 place Intevac on a solid trajectory for future growth, with the strength of the balance sheet maintained.” Mr. Hunton concluded, “We have taken a key step forward in our plan to diversify and grow our product portfolio and customer base, and we look forward to achieving greater success and momentum in each of our end markets in 2024.”
