Overview
Intevac is a provider of vacuum deposition equipment for a wide variety of
thin-film applications, and a leading provider of digital night-vision
technologies and products to the defense industry. The Company leverages its
core capabilities in high-volume manufacturing of small substrates to provide
process manufacturing equipment solutions to the hard disk drive ("HDD"),
display cover panel ("DCP"), and photovoltaic ("PV") solar cell industries.
Intevac also provides sensors, cameras and systems for government applications
such as night vision. Intevac's customers include manufacturers of hard disk
media, DCPs and solar cells as well as the U.S. government and its agencies,
allies and contractors. Intevac reports two segments: Thin-film Equipment
("TFE") and Photonics.
Product development and manufacturing activities occur in North America and
Asia. Intevac has field offices in Asia to support its TFE customers. Intevac's
products are highly technical and are sold primarily through Intevac's direct
sales force. Intevac also sells its products through distributors in Japan and
China.
Intevac's results are driven by a number of factors including success in its
equipment growth initiatives in the DCP and solar markets and by worldwide
demand for HDDs. Demand for HDDs depends on the growth in digital data creation
and storage, the rate of areal density improvements, and the
end-user
demand for PCs, enterprise data storage, nearline "cloud" applications, video
players and video game consoles that include such drives. Intevac continues to
execute its strategy of equipment diversification into new markets by
introducing new products, such as for a thin-film physical vapor deposition
("PVD") application for protective coating for DCP manufacturing and a thin-film
PVD application for PV solar cell manufacturing. Intevac believes that expansion
into these markets will result in incremental equipment revenues for Intevac and
decrease Intevac's dependence on the HDD industry. Intevac's equipment business
is subject to cyclical industry conditions, as demand for manufacturing
equipment and services can change depending on supply and demand for HDDs, cell
phones and PV cells, as well as other factors such as global economic conditions
and technological advances in fabrication processes.

Net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 increased compared to the
same period in the prior year primarily due to higher equipment sales to HDD
manufacturers, higher Photonics product sales and higher Photonics contract
research and development ("R&D"). TFE recognized revenue on two 200 Lean
®
HDD systems in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to one 200 Lean
HDD system in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company received $310,000
in government assistance related to
COVID-19
from the government of Singapore of which $180,000 was reported as a reduction
of cost of net revenues, $49,000 was reported as a reduction of R&D expenses and
$81,000 was reported as a reduction of selling, general and administrative
expenses. The Company reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2020
compared to a net loss for the second quarter of 2019 due to higher revenues,
higher gross profit and lower selling, general and administrative expenses,
offset in part by increased spending on R&D.
Net revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2020 increased compared to the
same period in the prior year primarily due to higher Photonics product sales
and higher Photonics contract R&D, offset in part by lower equipment sales to PV
manufacturers and lower equipment sales to HDD manufacturers. TFE recognized
revenue in the first half of fiscal 2020 on two 200 Lean
HDD systems compared to two 200 Lean
HDD systems and four ENERG
i
solar ion implant systems in the first half of fiscal 2019. The Company reported
net income for the first half of fiscal 2020 compared to net loss for the first
half of 2019 due to higher revenues and higher gross profit and decreased
spending on R&D, offset in part by higher selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Intevac expects that HDD equipment sales will be down from 2019 levels as a HDD
manufacturer took delivery of the two remaining 200 Lean HDD systems in backlog.
In 2020, Intevac expects lower sales of new TFE products as we expect to convert
one of the VERTEX systems under evaluation at a customer factory to revenue and
obtain
follow-on
production orders for our VERTEX coating system for DCPs, but we expect a delay
in a
follow-on
order for our solar ion implant ENERGi system. The second evaluation system at a
customer factory is expected to convert to revenue in 2021. In 2020, we expect
increased product revenue in Photonics as we continue to deliver product
shipments of the Apache camera and the night-vision camera modules for the F35
Joint Strike Fighter ("JSF") program. In 2020, we expect increased contract R&D
revenue as development work continues on the multi-year IVAS contract award for
the development and production of digital night-vision cameras to support the
U.S. Army's IVAS program. For fiscal 2020, Intevac expects that Photonics
profits will be higher than for fiscal 2019 as Photonics results will reflect
higher revenue levels.
The Impact of
COVID-19
We are unable to accurately predict the possible future effect of the
COVID-19
outbreak on the Company, which could be material to our 2020 results. Our
customers may delay or cancel orders due to reduced demand, supply chain
disruptions and/or travel restrictions and border closures. As the economic
impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic becomes clearer as the year progresses, we could see significant
changes to our operations. Our factories in California and Singapore remain open
as both TFE and Photonics businesses are within the critical infrastructure
sectors. We have also experienced pandemic-related delays in our TFE evaluation
and development work. In response to
COVID-19,
we have implemented initiatives to safeguard our employees in this time of
crisis. We have implemented work-from-home protocols and all employees that can
do so are working remotely and will continue to do so until restrictions are
lifted by the applicable authorities in the United States, Singapore and China.
The Company has been providing a
bi-weekly
update to its Board of Directors highlighting the impacts of
COVID-19
on its employees, business and financial condition. The following discussion
highlights how we are responding and the expected impacts of
COVID-19
on our business.
Essential Business
The Company's priorities during the
COVID-19
pandemic have been to protect the health and safety of employees while keeping
its manufacturing facilities open due to the essential nature of our products.
Our factories in California and Singapore remain open as both TFE and Photonics
businesses are within critical infrastructure sectors that are exempt from
government-mandated closures.
On March 16, 2020, multiple counties in the San Francisco bay area of California
issued a
"shelter-in-place"
order (the "State Order") requiring businesses to temporarily cease operations,
effective March 17, 2020. The State Order provides that Californians working
within 16 identified critical infrastructure sectors may continue with their
work because of the importance of these sectors to Californians' health and
well-being. Among the identified critical infrastructure sectors listed are
Communications and Information Technology ("IT") and the Defense Industrial Base
("DIB"). On March 20, 2020, Intevac received a communication from the Department
of Defense stating that the DIB is identified as a Critical Infrastructure
Sector by the Department of Homeland Security, and that the Essential Critical
Infrastructure Workforce for the DIB includes workers who support the essential
products and services required to meet national security commitments to the
Federal Government and the U.S. Military.

Our factory in Singapore was given notice by the Singapore government to suspend
all
on-site
activities on April 27, 2020. We appealed this notice and were provided an
exemption on May 14, 2020. We were temporarily required to limit the number of
employees on site at our Singapore factory, but these restrictions were lifted
on June 2, 2020.
Employee Considerations
Our goal has been to support our employees during the present uncertainty while
remaining focused on meeting the needs of our customers and business continuity.
Early in the crisis, we provided employees with information about best practices
to prevent the spread of
COVID-19
and other viruses and illnesses. We instituted practices including symptom
checks and
non-contact
monitoring of body temperatures of those on site twice daily; requiring social
distancing and face coverings; streamlining onsite personnel to only those
required for production; strongly encouraging and, where mandated, requiring
remote work for all those who can work from home; and increasing hygiene through
disinfecting facilities. In addition, we have limited
in-person
meetings and
non-employee
visits to our locations, reduced room occupancies and eliminated
non-essential
business travel. In the United States, the Company has educated employees on
COVID-19-related
benefits (including leave benefits) under the Families First Coronavirus
Response Act ("FFCRA") and the CARES Act.
To further protect the health and welfare of our employees, we have also
required employees who potentially have been exposed to
COVID-19
to self-quarantine for 14 days and have committed to paying these employees
their normal wages during that quarantine period. To ease access to medical
assistance, we are waiving
co-payments
for
COVID-19
testing and telemedicine for those employees enrolled in our health insurance
plans.
Business Continuity Team
We have robust pandemic and business continuity plans that include our business
units and technology environments. When
COVID-19
was declared a pandemic, we activated our business continuity plan (the
"Continuity Plan"). As an element of the Continuity Plan, we activated our
Business Continuity Team ("BCT"), a group of senior corporate managers, who
directed a series of activities to address the health and safety of our
workforce, assist employees, sustain business operations, coordinate
communication and address our management concerning other ongoing pandemic
activities. The BCT monitors guidelines published by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention ("CDC"), the National Institutes of Health ("NIH"), the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"), the World Health
Organization ("WHO") and other state and local authorities, makes assessments of
these guidelines and implements the appropriate protocols. The BCT established a
COVID-19 Policy and continually updates this policy based on the latest
guidance. All employees continuing to work on site were required to complete
training on the Company's COVID-19 policy and any employees returning to work at
our facilities are provided additional training prior to returning to work. The
BCT also updated and revised policies related to visitors and travel to include
COVID-19-related
health and safety measures related to the pandemic and updated the Continuity
Plan to include a pandemic response appendix.
Productivity
There has been a modest decline in productivity for certain departments as our
people adjust to this significant change in work environment. We currently
believe our technology infrastructure is sufficient to maintain a remote-working
environment for the vast majority of our workforce for the foreseeable future
and that productivity should improve as our people adjust to this significant
change in work environment. The productivity level and ability of our employees
to continue working from home could change, however, as conditions surrounding
COVID-19
evolve and infections increase, if there are interruptions in the internet
infrastructure where our employees live or if internet service providers are
otherwise adversely affected.
Community
We understand that the communities in which our employees live, work, and serve
are also suffering distress as a result of
COVID-19.
Intevac is committed to help source supplies for local healthcare providers
fighting
COVID-19,
and has donated all of its surplus N95 industrial masks and gloves to local
hospitals and emergency responders.
Economic Relief
In Singapore, Intevac receives government assistance under the Job Support
Scheme ("JSS"). The purpose of the JSS is to provide wage support to employers
to help them retain their local employees. Under the JSS, Intevac expects to
receive approximately $535,000 in JSS grants in fiscal 2020. During the quarter
ended June 27, 2020, the Company received $310,000 in JSS grants. As previously
mentioned, under the CARES Act we have elected to defer the payment of the
employer portion of payroll taxes and will receive tax benefits from the
employee-retention-tax
credit.

Cost of net revenues consists primarily of purchased materials and costs
attributable to contract R&D, and also includes fabrication, assembly, test and
installation labor and overhead, customer-specific engineering costs, warranty
costs, royalties, provisions for inventory reserves and scrap.
TFE gross margin was 36.4% in the three months ended June 27, 2020 compared to
38.9% in the three months ended June 29, 2019 and was 38.9% in the six months
ended June 27, 2020 compared to 34.6% in the six months ended June 29, 2019. The
decline in the gross margin percentage for the three months ended June 27, 2020
compared to the same period in the prior year was due primarily to a lower mix
of higher-margin upgrades. The increase in the gross margin percentage for the
six months ended June 27, 2020 was due primarily to the lower margin on the sale
of four ENERG
i
solar ion implant systems in the six months ended June 29, 2019. Gross margins
in the TFE business will vary depending on a number of factors, including
product mix, product cost, system configuration and pricing, factory
utilization, and provisions for excess and obsolete inventory.
Photonics gross margin was 43.9% in the three months ended June 27, 2020
compared to 35.4% in the three months ended June 29, 2019 and was 43.4% in the
six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to 29.9% in the six months ended
June 29, 2019. The improvement in gross margin for the three and six months
ended June 27, 2020 was due to higher revenue levels and improved margins on
both products and contract R&D work. Gross margins in the Photonics business
will vary depending on a number of factors, including sensor yield, product mix,
product cost, pricing, factory utilization, provisions for warranty and
inventory reserves.

Research and development spending in TFE during the three months ended
June 27, 2020 increased compared to the same period in the prior year due to
higher spending on semiconductor
Fan-out,
HDD and PV development, offset in part by lower spending on DCP development.
Research and development spending in TFE during the six months ended
June 27, 2020 decreased compared to the same period in the prior year due to
lower spending on HDD and PV development, offset in part by higher spending on
semiconductor

Fan-out,
HDD and PV development. Research and development spending decreased in Photonics
during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, as compared to the same
periods in the prior year, primarily related to lower spending on the
development of the next generation of our low light level CMOS camera. Research
and development expenses do not include costs of $3.6 million and $6.5 million
for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, or $3.5 million
and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively,
which are related to customer-funded contract R&D programs in Photonics and
therefore included in cost of net revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of selling,
marketing, customer support, financial and management costs. Selling, general
and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 27, 2020 decreased
compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower spending to
support a customer evaluation of a next generation product, offset in part by
higher variable compensation expenses and incremental costs to launch our
Diamond Dog
e-commerce
website. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 27, 2020 increased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily

Intevac recorded income tax provisions of $642,000 and $909,000 for the three
and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, and $417,000 and $971,000 for
the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively. The income tax
provisions for these three and six month periods are based upon estimates of
annual income (loss), annual permanent differences and statutory tax rates in
the various jurisdictions in which Intevac operates. For the three and six month
periods ended June 27, 2020, Intevac recorded income tax provisions on earnings
of its international subsidiaries of $369,000 and $548,000, respectively, and
recorded $272,000 and $373,000, respectively, for withholding taxes on royalties
paid into the United States from Intevac's Singapore subsidiary as discrete
items. For the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2019, Intevac recorded
income tax provisions on earnings of its international subsidiaries of $201,000
and $563,000, respectively, and recorded $213,000 and $404,000, respectively,
for withholding taxes on royalties paid into the United States from Intevac's
Singapore subsidiary as discrete items. For all periods presented, Intevac
utilized net operating loss carry-forwards to offset the impact of the global
intangible
low-taxed
income ("GILTI"). Intevac's tax rate differs from the applicable statutory rates
due primarily to establishment of a valuation allowance, utilization of deferred
and current credits and the effect of permanent differences and adjustments of
prior permanent differences. Intevac's future effective income tax rate depends
on various factors, including the level of Intevac's projected earnings, the
geographic composition of worldwide earnings, tax regulations governing each
region, net operating loss carry-forwards, availability of tax credits and the
effectiveness of Intevac's tax planning strategies. Management carefully
monitors these factors and timely adjusts the effective income tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 27, 2020, Intevac had $44.8 million in cash, cash equivalents,
restricted cash and investments compared to $42.8 million at December 28, 2019.
During the first six months of fiscal 2020, cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash and investments increased by $2.0 million due primarily to cash provided by
operating activities and cash received from the sale of Intevac common stock to
Intevac's employees through Intevac's employee benefit plans, offset in part by
purchases of fixed assets and tax payments for net share settlement.
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments consist of the
following:
                                                                 June 27,        December 28,

Operating activities generated cash of $3.5 million during the first six months
of fiscal 2020 and generated cash of $1.0 million during the first six months of
2019. Improved operating cash flow in the first six months of fiscal 2019 was a
result of a return to profitability.
Accounts receivable totaled $29.0 million at June 27, 2020 compared to
$28.6 million at December 28, 2019. Net inventories totaled $22.2 million at
June 27, 2020 compared to $24.9 million at December 28, 2019. Net inventories at
June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019 included one VERTEX SPECTRA system for DCP
under evaluation in a customer's factory and one MATRIX PVD system for advance
semiconductor packaging under evaluation in a customer's factory. Net
inventories at June 27, 2020 also included one VERTEX SPECTRA system for DCP at
Intevac's factory pending delivery to a customer for evaluation. Accounts
payable increased to $5.1 million at June 27, 2020 from $4.2 million at
December 28, 2019 due to increased manufacturing activities and a larger book
overdraft at June 27, 2020. Accrued payroll and related liabilities decreased to
$6.3 million at June 27, 2020 compared to $6.5 million at December 28, 2019.
Other accrued liabilities increased to $3.9 million at June 27, 2020 compared to
$3.6 million at December 28, 2019. Customer advances decreased from $4.0 million
at December 28, 2019 to $433,000 at June 27, 2020, primarily due the recognition
of revenue offset in part by the recognition of new orders.
Investing activities generated cash of $460,000 during the first six months of
fiscal 2020. Proceeds from sales net of purchases of investments totaled
$2.3 million. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 27, 2020 were
$1.8 million.
Financing activities generated cash of $256,000 in the first six months of
fiscal 2020. The sale of Intevac common stock to Intevac's employees through
Intevac's employee benefit plans generated cash of $994,000. Tax payments
related to the net share settlement of restricted stock units were $345,000.
Cash used to repurchase shares of common stock under the Company's stock
repurchase program totaled $393,000 for the six months ended June 27, 2020.

Intevac's investment portfolio consists principally of investment grade money
market mutual funds, U.S. Treasury and agency securities, certificates of
deposit, commercial paper and corporate bonds. Intevac regularly monitors the
credit risk in its investment portfolio and takes measures, which may include
the sale of certain securities, to manage such risks in accordance with its
investment policies.
As of June 27, 2020, approximately $13.5 million of cash and cash equivalents
and $2.9 million of short term investments were domiciled in foreign tax
jurisdictions. Intevac expects a significant portion of these funds to remain
offshore in the short term. If the Company chose to repatriate these funds to
the United States, it would be required to accrue and pay additional taxes on
any portion of the repatriation subject to foreign withholding taxes.
Intevac believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will
be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future. Intevac
intends to undertake approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million in capital
expenditures during the remainder of 2020.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Off-balance
sheet firm commitments relating to outstanding letters of credit amounted to
approximately $787,000 as of June 27, 2020. These letters of credit and bank
guarantees are collateralized by $787,000 of restricted cash. We do not maintain
any other
off-balance
sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations, or other relationships that would
be expected to have a material current or future effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("US GAAP") requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates
that affect the amounts reported. Intevac's significant accounting policies are
described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8
of Intevac's Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed on February 12, 2020. Certain of these significant accounting policies are
considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the
presentation of Intevac's financial statements and requires management to make
difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on
Intevac's financial conditions and results of operations. Specifically, critical
accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) Intevac is required to
make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the
estimate; and 2) different estimates Intevac could reasonably have used, or
changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a
material effect on Intevac's financial condition or results of operations.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be
determined with certainty. Intevac bases its estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under
the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional
information is obtained and as Intevac's operating environment changes. These
changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated
financial statements as soon as they become known. In addition, management is
periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its
control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Many of these
uncertainties are discussed in the section below entitled "Risk Factors." Based
on a critical assessment of Intevac's accounting policies and the underlying
judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies,
management believes that Intevac's consolidated financial statements are fairly
stated in accordance with US GAAP, and provide a meaningful presentation of
Intevac's financial condition and results of operation.
For a description of critical accounting policies that affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed
consolidated financial statements, refer to our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 28, 2019 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2020.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during
the six months ended June 27, 2020.
