Intevac reports Q3 adjusted EPS (8c) vs 0c last year

Reports Q3 revenue $28.5M vs $17.9M last year. “We are pleased to report third-quarter results favorable to our expectations going into the quarter,” commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. “Technology upgrades in support of next-generation HAMR (heat-assisted magnetic recording) media continue to drive the majority of our business, and total revenues from HDD upgrades, spares, and field service totaled over $13 million, exceeding our expectations. With an additional $15 million of largely pass-through revenue associated with the transfer of inventory to a customer, the gross margin and earnings per share performance of the core business likewise exceeded expectations. Positive free cash flow performance in the quarter drove an increase in total cash, restricted cash, and investments to over $72 million at quarter-end, and we remain on track to maintain the strength of the balance sheet in 2024 to enable strategic investments in support of future growth.”
