Intevac reports Q3 EPS 0c, consensus (13c)

Reports Q3 revenue $17.9M, consensus $12.5M. “We are pleased to deliver third-quarter 2023 results well above our prior expectations, reflecting media technology upgrade initiatives currently underway in the hard disk drive (HDD) industry,” commented Nigel Hunton, president and chief executive officer. “Industry leaders are focused on executing the ramp of next-generation media technology, and within this evolving landscape Intevac has emerged as the enabling technology partner for HDD media production. The revenue upside we achieved in Q3 also demonstrates our operational agility and ability to execute to meet customer timelines for technology upgrades. We expect the collection of HDD receivables in Q4 will drive an increase in our total cash balance by year-end, which we continue to expect will be within the range of $75 to $80 million, as communicated previously.”
