“We achieved a number of significant milestones in 2019, in support of our long-term growth initiatives,” continued Mr. Blonigan. “We booked a record $40M order in July in Photonics, which along with the IVAS program, drove Photonics backlog to new record levels, giving us multi-year visibility for continued strong growth and profitability for this business. In our TFE growth initiatives, in 2019 we launched our new Marathon™ system and ultra-durable DiamondClad™ coatings, which enable best-in-class protective films at an attractive price point for the mobile device market. We were successful in placing evaluation systems with industry leaders, including VERTEX in the display cover panel market, and MATRIX in the advanced semiconductor packaging industry.
“Each of these milestones supports the long-term revenue growth and profitability objectives for Intevac,” concluded Mr. Blonigan. “As we look towards our outlook for 2020, we continue to drive towards another year of growth, which we expect will be supported by continued momentum in our Photonics business and the successful execution of our TFE growth initiatives.”

Results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 29, 2018 include the reversal of the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets of the Company’s Singapore operations.
