NEWS RELEASE
FINANCIAL NEWS BRIEF
February 23, 2023
For Immediate Release
Vicor Corporation Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2022
Andover, MA, February 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 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 fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 totaled $105.5 million, a 16.8% increase from $90.3 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and a 2.3% sequential increase from $103.1 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Gross margin increased to $49.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $40.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased sequentially from $47.0 million for the third quarter of 2022. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 46.6% for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 45.2% for the corresponding period a year ago, and from 45.5% for the third quarter of 2022.
Net income for the fourth quarter was $8.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.9 million or $0.20 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year ago and net income of $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022.
Cash flow from operations totaled $0.9 million for the fourth quarter, compared to cash flow from operations of $14.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and cash flow from operations of $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter totaled $12.7 million, compared to $16.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago and $14.4 million for the third quarter of 2022. The sum of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of December 31, 2022 decreased 5.7% sequentially to approximately $190.6 million compared to approximately $202.0 million as of September 30, 2022.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased 11.1% to $399.1 million, from $359.4 million for the prior year. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 45.2% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 49.6% for the prior year. Net income for 2022 was $25.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted share and 6.4% of revenues, compared to $56.6 million, or $1.26 per diluted share and 15.8% of revenue in the prior year. Cash flows from operations totaled $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a 57.9% decrease from cash flows from operations of $54.4 million for the prior year.
Commenting on fourth quarter performance, Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Demand has fallen short of last year’s peak and is anticipated to stay subdued until new AI, datacenter and automotive applications using advanced Power Distribution Networks (PDNs) get to production ramps. The Q4 book-to-bill came in far below 1 while backlog, which declined to $304 million, can only support essentially flat quarterly revenue in the near term.”
“Q4 profitability reflected manufacturing inefficiencies as Advanced Products have not yet fully transitioned to vertically integrated processes in our first ChiP foundry. We look forward to cutting manufacturing cycle times by nearly 2X soon after the balance of key outsourced processes are vertically integrated, which we anticipate to be Q2 2023.”
“Capital investment continued in Q4 to provide approximately one billion dollars per year total capacity in our Andover fab. A 3X advance in current density by ChiPs leveraging advanced processes, components and next generation silicon bodes well for the future utilization of this capacity.”
