Intevac, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVAC) today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Fiscal 2022 Highlights

Exceeded financial performance objectives for the year, with $36 million in revenues, 42% gross margins, and solid cash flow performance, resulting in $113 million in total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments at year end
Record-level orders of $133 million for the year, contributing to year-end backlog of $122 million, establishing the foundation for future revenue growth
Entered into a joint development agreement (JDA) with a leading provider of glass and glass ceramic materials, adding a significant new revenue opportunity in the consumer electronics display industry

"The fourth quarter marked a great finish to 2022, culminating in the completion of the joint development agreement for our ground-breaking TRIO™ platform," said Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer of Intevac. "The TRIO provides an innovation in technology for the coating of glass and glass ceramic materials on consumer devices that builds upon our decades of materials science expertise in high-productivity manufacturing environments. The agreement includes approximately $100 million in system revenue over five years, in order for our customer to maintain exclusive access to the TRIO platform for consumer electronics applications.

"The record level of orders and backlog for our HDD business in 2022 established a solid foundation for growth for the next several years, and we look forward to gaining momentum in both businesses in 2023 in order to position Intevac for a major growth year in 2024, which is when we expect to return to a full year of profitable and cash-flow positive results. Finally, the strength of our balance sheet remains critically important to our customers, partners, suppliers, and stockholders, and we are pleased to report a net use of cash of only $8 million over the course of 2022." Mr. Hunton concluded, "We will continue to maintain a strong balance sheet as we make the necessary investments for transformational growth ahead."
