Intevac Announces Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2024.

"We witnessed strengthening demand for hard disk drive (HDD) media technology upgrades during the second quarter, and our team in Singapore provided solid execution, which led to revenues well ahead of expectations," commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. "Today's media upgrade initiatives, including those in support of the HAMR (heat-assisted magnetic recording) technology transitions now underway, demonstrate Intevac's critical role within the HDD ecosystem. Our flagship 200 Lean^® is the world's leading platform for media production, both today and for the years to come, providing strong visibility for a solid base of business as we drive incremental growth with our groundbreaking TRIO platform, which will serve multiple markets, including the display cover glass coating market. We are now in the process of qualifying our first TRIO system, which has been successfully installed at a new customer facility in Asia and is currently demonstrating the benefits of its modular and flexible design. Our focus is now on completing the field qualification and securing initial orders. Strong collections in the quarter drove an increase in total cash, restricted cash, and investments to over $70 million at quarter-end, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to maintain the strength of the balance sheet while still aggressively pursuing the strong growth opportunities ahead. Overall, an excellent quarter for Intevac across all fronts."
