Intevac Announces Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today reported financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 27, 2020.

"We are pleased to report profitable second-quarter financial results, demonstrating excellent execution by our team in delivering strong levels of business to our hard disk drive (HDD) customers and a record quarter in Photonics,” commented Wendell Blonigan, president and chief executive officer. "In light of the constraints placed on our operations and supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our financial results are indicative of the essential role Intevac plays within the critical IT and Defense infrastructure sectors. While 2020 will be an immensely challenging year overall, we are on very strong financial footing and further strengthened the balance sheet in the second quarter, increasing total cash and investments to $45 million. In our Thin-film Equipment (TFE) growth initiatives, we continue to experience pandemic-related delays in our evaluation and development work. Nonetheless, we expect solid levels of business with our HDD customers and a record year in Photonics will enable us to deliver operating profitability for the year and maintain our strong balance sheet until revenue growth resumes.”
