NEWS RELEASE

FINANCIAL NEWS BRIEF

October 25, 2022

For Immediate Release

Vicor Corporation Reports Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

Andover, MA, October 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. 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 below.

Revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 totaled $103.1 million, a 21.4% increase from $84.9 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and a 0.9% sequential increase from $102.2 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Gross margin increased to $47.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $42.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased sequentially from $46.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 45.5% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 50.4% for the corresponding period a year ago, and decreased from 45.8% for the second quarter of 2022.

Net income for the third quarter was $8.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.3 million or $0.29 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year ago and net income of $10.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022.

Cash flow from operations totaled $6.6 million for the third quarter, compared to cash flow from operations of $10.1 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and cash flow from operations of $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. Capital expenditures for the third quarter totaled $14.4 million, compared to $15.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago and $14.2 million for the second quarter of 2022. The sum of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of September 30, 2022 decreased 2.7% sequentially to approximately $202.0 million compared to approximately $207.6 million as of June 30, 2022.

Commenting on third quarter performance, Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “A deteriorating macroeconomic environment caused a shortfall in demand for electronic products. Q3 profitability was significantly impacted by legal expenses ahead of a recent intellectual property litigation trial.”

“Reflecting a reduction in demand caused by recent market conditions, the Q3 book-to-bill ratio came in below 1. We look forward to reducing production lead times and getting caught up with our backlog.”

“Capital investment in our first ChiP foundry continued in Q3 to enable our Andover fab to support Advanced Product revenues with up to approximately one billion dollars per year total capacity. Major advances in power density by our next generation ChiPs and recent design wins in our primary markets bode well for the future utilization of this capacity.”
