ANDOVER, MA -- (Marketwired - October 27, 2015) - Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. These results will be discussed later today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, during management's quarterly investor conference call. The details for the call are presented below.

Revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 decreased to $48,664,000, compared to $58,402,000 for the corresponding period a year ago, and decreased from $56,119,000 for the second quarter of 2015. Third quarter bookings decreased to $50,368,000 from $65,559,000 for the corresponding period a year ago, but increased from $48,096,000 for the second quarter of 2015.

Gross margin decreased to $21,286,000 for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $25,550,000 for the corresponding period a year ago, and decreased from $26,510,000 for the second quarter of 2015. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, at 43.7% for the third quarter of 2015, remained the same as for the third quarter of 2014, but decreased from 47.2% for the second quarter of 2015.

Net income for the third quarter was $2,503,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($3,674,000), or ($0.10) per share, for the corresponding period a year ago and net income of $805,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015. Included in net income for the third quarter of 2015 was a gain from equity method investment of $5,000,000, representing cash consideration received for the Company's investment in Great Wall Semiconductor Corporation ("GWS"), following the acquisition of GWS by Intersil Corporation in September 2015.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, increased by 2.3% to $168,800,000 from $164,996,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. Net income for the nine month period was $6,679,000, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($13,887,000), or ($0.36) per share, for the corresponding period a year ago.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $5,673,000 for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $3,672,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,423,000 to approximately $68,571,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2015 from $65,148,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2015.

Total backlog at the end of the third quarter of 2015 was $43,344,000, compared to $41,616,000 at the end of the second quarter, and $54,249,000 at the end of 2014.

Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Vicor's third quarter operating performance reflected generally soft demand and delayed shipments of datacenter solutions due to customer migration to Intel's next generation VR13 processor, now due to ramp in Q3 2016. While revenues from our 48 Volt solutions to VR13 applications have been delayed, this has enabled us to expand our VR13 customer base in datacenters, networking and high end computing applications. We are also making progress toward substantial design wins in other major markets, including automotive. Our roll-out of new SiP (System in Package) and ChiP (Converter housed in Package™) modules for motherboard applications, complemented by new ChiP and VIA (Vicor Integrated Adapter™) front-end systems, is expected to continue at an accelerating pace into 2016 and should set the stage for significant revenue growth."
