NEWS RELEASE

FINANCIAL NEWS BRIEF

October 22, 2020

For Immediate Release

Vicor Corporation Reports Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

Andover, MA, October 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. 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, 2020 totaled $78.1 million, a 10.4% increase from $70.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and also a 10.4% sequential increase from $70.8 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Gross margin increased to $33.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $33.0 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased sequentially from $30.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 42.7% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to 46.6% for the corresponding period a year ago, and decreased from 42.8% for the second quarter of 2020.

Net income for the third quarter was $5.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.9 million or $0.14 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year ago and net income of $2.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents sequentially increased by $6.9 million to approximately $203.6 million at the end of the third quarter of 2020, from $196.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020. Incremental capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $8.1 million, as compared with $3.3 million for the corresponding period a year ago and $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Third quarter bookings increased 49.5% to $90.5 million, from $60.5 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased sequentially from $87.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. Total backlog at the end of the third quarter of 2020 was $140.0 million, representing an increase of 9.8% from $127.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020 and 34.4 % from $104.2 million at the end of 2019.

Commenting on the third quarter, Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Despite supply-chain and product mix challenges, higher shipments of Advanced Products led to an increase in third quarter revenue. Bookings for Advanced Products grew across a multiplicity of applications and end markets. Our outlook for the fourth quarter is for a sequential increase in revenue and earnings per share. Capacity expansion is on schedule and vertical integration in our new manufacturing facility of all of the process steps required by Advanced Products should soon lead to shorter cycle times, greater efficiencies, and improved gross and net margins.”
