Intevac Announces $10 Million Expansion of Existing $30 Million Share Repurchase Program

Intevac (NASDAQ: IVAC), today announced that its board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $10 million of the company’s ordinary shares, incremental to the $30 million stock repurchase plan currently in place; thereby increasing the total repurchase plan to $40 million. With our current plan, the company has repurchased 4.8 million shares for a total of $28.5 million.

“Intevac’s management team and board of directors firmly believe in our long-term growth prospects, and we are also committed to efficient capital allocation,” said Wendell Blonigan, president and chief executive officer of Intevac. “Given the board’s confidence in our positive cash flow generation in 2018, as well as our solid financial footing, we have allocated an additional $10 million in capital toward opportunistic stock repurchases,” added David S. Dury, chairman of the board.

This incremental $10 million share repurchase program is effective immediately and will be funded using the company’s available cash and future cash flows. Share repurchases under this program may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions, at times and in such amounts as the board and management deem appropriate, subject to market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

As of June 30, 2018, Intevac had $39 million in cash and restricted cash, no long-term debt, and approximately 22.5 million shares outstanding.
