NEWS RELEASE

FINANCIAL NEWS BRIEF

July 24, 2018

For Immediate Release

Vicor Corporation Reports Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2018

Andover, MA, July 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2018 increased 28.6% to $74,196,000, from $57,709,000 for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased 13.7% sequentially from $65,269,000 for the first quarter of 2018. Second quarter bookings increased 47.3% to $87,448,000, from $59,387,000 for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased 6.8% sequentially from $81,907,000 for the first quarter of 2018.

Gross margin increased to $35,883,000 for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $25,930,000 for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased from $30,211,000 for the first quarter of 2018. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 48.4% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 44.9% for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased from 46.3% for the first quarter of 2018.

Net income for the second quarter was $7,860,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(459,000), or $(0.01) per share, for the corresponding period a year ago, and net income of $3,943,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018, increased 24.3% to $139,465,000 from $112,171,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. Net income for the six month period was $11,803,000, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1,433,000), or $(0.04) per share, for the corresponding period a year ago.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $9,340,000 for the second quarter of 2018, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $644,000 for the corresponding period a year ago and cash used for operating activities of $812,000 for the preceding first quarter of 2018. Cash and cash equivalents sequentially increased by $11,242,000 to approximately $53,920,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2018, from $42,678,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2018.

Total backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2018 was $103,100,000, compared to $89,975,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2018 and $73,054,000 at the end of 2017.

Commenting on second quarter performance, Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Demand for Factorized Power solutions, including PRM-VTM systems powering CPUs directly from 48V in high efficiency datacenters, led to sequentially higher bookings and shipments. Having made their debut next to a high performance GPU, high density Power-on-Package MCD-MCM systems are finding new homes next to 7nm, high current ASICs for Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) applications extending parallel computing beyond the limits of Moore’s Law.

With contributions from Power-on-Package and other state-of-the-art power modules, backlog crossed the $100 million level. Sequential quarterly increases in shipments should result in further improvements in profitability and cash generation in anticipation of future expansions in manufacturing capacity.”
