99.1 Press Release of Vicor Corporation dated February 22, 2007

Vicor Corporation Earnings Release for the Quarter Ended December 31st, 2006

ANDOVER, MA -- 02/22/2007 -- Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Revenues for the quarter increased to $48,033,000 compared to $46,294,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. Net loss for Q4 was $38,150,000, or $.92 per diluted share compared to net income of $2,080,000, or $.05 per diluted share, in Q4 2005. The net loss in Q4 2006 was primarily due to a loss from a litigation-related settlement described below.

For the year ended December 31, 2006 revenues increased by 7.1% to $192,047,000 from $179,351,000 for the same period of 2005. The Company reported a net loss for 2006 of $29,738,000, or $.71 per diluted share compared to net income of $3,916,000 or $.09 per diluted share in 2005.

Gross margin declined to 41.0% in Q4 2006 from 42.7% in Q4 2005 and decreased on a sequential basis from 42.5% in Q3 2006. The book-to-bill ratio for Q4 2006 was 0.94:1 as compared to 1.00:1 in Q3 2006. Backlog at the end of 2006 was $36.4 million as compared to $38.6 million at the end of 2005.

In Q4 2006, the Company recorded $200,000 for expensing stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R).

Commenting on the fourth quarter, Vicor's CEO Patrizio Vinciarelli noted: "Demand fell short of expectations as we continued to experience delays in significant orders projected to be booked in Q4. As in Q3, these delays caused disappointing book-to-bill and revenue levels. While demand for Vicor bricks was relatively soft, there was progress with key V-I Chip engagements, leading to record bookings and shipment of V-I Chips. Margins were lower than expected because of non-recurring factors."

"For 2007, we are anticipating revenue growth at a rate slightly higher than 2006 with a small expansion in operating margins. Revenues for 2007 will largely consist of bricks experiencing low year-over-year growth and expanding V-I Chip sales. Given the low starting point, V-I Chip's contribution to total revenues should become significant to overall revenue growth in 2008. Picor product introductions slated for 2007 should begin to make a significant contribution to top line growth in 2009."

The Company announced that it has reached an agreement in principle with Ericsson, Inc., to settle a lawsuit brought by Ericsson against the Company in California state court. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, reached on February 16 after a Court ordered mediation, the Company will pay $50 million to Ericsson, of which $12.8 million will be paid by the Company's insurance carriers. The Company's decision to enter into the settlement followed an adverse ruling by the court in January in connection with a settlement between Ericsson and co-defendants Exar Corporation and Rohm Device USA, LLC, two of the Company's component suppliers prior to 2002. The Company strongly disagrees with the ruling, which it is appealing. Although a successful appeal would enable the Company to seek recoveries from Exar and Rohm, there is no assurance that it will be successful in the appeal. In light of this ruling and after taking into consideration the possibility of further recoveries from the insurance carriers, the Company decided to settle the Ericsson case at this time. Accordingly, the Company recorded a net loss of $37.2 million from litigation-related settlement in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Within the quarter, the Company recorded a loss of $1.0 million for a decline in the value of an investment judged to be other than temporary, which was charged to other income (expense), net.

Depreciation and amortization in Q4 was $3.5 million and capital additions were $1.3 million. In 2006, depreciation and amortization was $14.2 million and capital additions were $5.5 million. This compares to $17.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively for 2005. Prior to any payment related to the aforementioned settlement which is anticipated to occur in 2007, cash and short and long-term investments increased by $2.3 million to approximately $118.6 million at the end of Q4 2006 from $116.3 million at the end of Q3 2006. For the year, cash and short and long-term investments decreased by $7.5 million from $126.1 million at the end of 2005. During 2006 the Company has paid approximately $11.3 million in dividends and repurchased 825,700 shares, for approximately $10.8 million. There were no share repurchases during Q4 2006. At the end of 2006 there was approximately $8.5 million remaining in the authorized stock buy-back plan.

In 2006, the tax provision included estimated income taxes for federal and state taxes for certain minority-owned subsidiaries that are not part of the Company's consolidated income tax returns, for the Federal alternative minimum tax and for estimated income taxes due in various state and international taxing jurisdictions. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company reduced its tax reserves by $468,000 due to closing tax periods in certain jurisdictions.

Vicor's Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend of $.15 per share payable on March 27, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2007. The Board of Directors anticipates reviewing its dividend policy on a semi-annual basis. Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Board and depend on actual cash from operations, the Company's financial condition, capital requirements and any other factors the Company's Board of Directors may consider relevant.
