    2024 Year-end Cash Expected to be $70-$72 million

    2025 Revenue Expected to be $52-$55 million

    Quarterly Dividend of $0.05 per share to Begin in Q1 2025

    HDD Business Projected to Generate ~$200 million of Revenue Over Next Three Years

    Intevac, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVAC) ("Intevac" or the "Company") today announced its anticipated year end cash position, 2025 revenue guidance, commencement of quarterly dividends, further restructuring to strengthen profitability, and a renewed focus on its pursuit of strategic options.

    At year end Intevac's cash position, composed of restricted cash, and investments, is expected to be in the range of $70-$72 million. 2025 revenue is expected to be in the range of $52-$55 million. The Company is committed to maintaining disciplined spending and balance sheet strength for long-term competitiveness and sustainability.

    Intevac also announced today that its Board of Directors intends to commence quarterly dividends of $0.05 per share to be paid beginning in the First Quarter of 2025. These quarterly dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors at the customary times that those dividends are declared.

    "The strength of Intevac allows us to commence a capital distribution to our shareholders," commented Chairman of the Board Kevin Barber. "This is supported by our strong cash flows enabling a sustainable ongoing quarterly dividend. This new dividend policy demonstrates our confidence in the growth potential and future cash flow of the Company."

    As previously announced on the Company's Third Quarter earnings call, Intevac has made a strategic shift from its TRIO technology ("TRIO") to focus on the Hard Disk Drive ("HDD") sector. This was the result of TRIO not meeting the Company's expected performance and market penetration, and as a consequence, the Company has decided to close the TRIO business and impair the remaining assets. This rightsizing has been completed with Intevac recording a one-time charge of up to $35 million consisting of the following:

    • Up to $1.0 million in cash charges, consisting of severance payments and purchase order commitments
    • Up to $34 million in non-cash charges, consisting of inventory, fixed assets, intangible assets and facilities costs

    The Company anticipates that this restructuring will materially strengthen its profitability, with annualized savings being realized in 2025.

    Intevac is a critical supplier to the HDD industry. The restructuring will allow Intevac to both increase efficiency and streamline complexity as it strengthens its core HDD business in anticipation of HAMR being adopted industry wide. This industry adoption of HAMR is driven by data center growth fueled by the cloud and AI, and the Company expects growth in HDD moving forward.

    "There is no question that our outlook for the HDD business over the 2025 to 2027 time period has improved materially and we now have a strong outlook for growth, and a return to EBITDA profitability and positive free cash flow generation expected in our 2025 forecast," said Mr. Barber. "Intevac has value embedded across the range of our HDD products, technology, and customer relationships that we've developed over the years, and we believe our current market capitalization does not fully reflect the growth potential and profitability of the Company."

    "We see a robust HDD business in the future with around $200 million of revenue forecasted for the next three years," said CEO, Nigel Hunton. "We have strong confidence in our long-term strategy, the capability of our leadership team and ability to deliver growth, and we have the vision and capabilities to achieve our goal of enabling the HDD industry's transition to HAMR."

    In 2024, Intevac secured a second significant customer for HAMR with initial upgrades completed. As the HDD market opportunity strengthens, the Company plans to leverage its large installed base, its leadership position in HDD, its R&D capabilities in Santa Clara, CA, and its infrastructure in Singapore to deliver on its next phase of growth.

    As announced in June 2023, Intevac has retained investment banking firm Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. ("Houlihan Lokey") to advise management and the Board of Directors on the Company's strategic alternatives. The active pursuit and focus on TRIO opportunities during 2023 and the first three quarters of 2024, along with unfavorable market conditions for the Company's HDD products, inhibited Intevac's ability to pursue strategic alternatives at that time.

    Following Intevac's restructuring with an increased focus and improved market conditions for HDD, and the resulting improved pro forma forecasted EBITDA profitability, Houlihan Lokey is actively pursuing strategic alternatives, including discussions with interested parties, for the Company.

    Additionally, the Company's Board of Directors has updated the composition of its Strategic Committee. This committee is now comprised of independent directors Kevin Barber, David Dury and Ryan Vardeman. The Strategic Committee will work with Company management and Houlihan Lokey in evaluating options to increase stockholder value.

    Regarding the appointment of Houlihan Lokey and a Strategic Committee of the Board of Directors, there can be no assurance that the exploration process will result in any transaction or other strategic alternative, and Intevac has not set a definitive timetable for completion of this process. The Company does not expect to disclose further developments relating to this strategic evaluation process, unless and until the Board of Directors approves a specific transaction or otherwise concludes this review of strategic alternatives.
