99.1 | Press Release of Vicor Corporation dated October 25, 2011 |
ANDOVER, MA -- (Marketwire - October 25, 2011) - Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Revenues for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011, decreased to $58,560,000, compared to $68,672,000 for the corresponding period a year ago, and decreased from $65,402,000 for the second quarter of 2011.
Gross margin decreased to $24,440,000 for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $32,473,000 for the corresponding period a year ago, and decreased from $27,309,000 for the second quarter of 2011. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 41.7% for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 47.3% for the third quarter of 2010, and decreased on a sequential basis from 41.8% for the second quarter of 2011.
Net income for the third quarter was $1,082,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $15,819,000, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year ago and net income of $3,066,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a non-recurring, non-cash tax benefit of $5,158,000, or approximately $0.12 per diluted share, due to the release of a portion of its deferred tax valuation allowance.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, increased by 9.4% to $194,417,000 from $177,758,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. Net income for the nine month period was $8,166,000, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to net income of $22,518,000 or $0.54 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year ago.
The 2011 provision for income taxes, which is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate for 2011, approximates a full statutory tax rate, as compared with the lower effective tax rate for 2010, due to the utilization by the end of 2010 of all Federal operating loss carry-forwards.
Total backlog at the end of the third quarter was $62,803,000, compared to $64,914,000, at the end of the second quarter of 2011.
Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, commenting on the third quarter, stated, "Generally soft market conditions and the cancellation of a large program caused revenues and bookings to fall short of expectations. Our Brick Business Unit experienced a 10% sequential decline in revenues, largely due to a 23% decline in international shipments, reflecting economic uncertainty in Europe and Asia. VIChip bookings were negatively impacted by the termination of a large scale computer hardware project. Otherwise, VIChip had a strong quarter, achieving record production, unit shipments and margins."
Dr. Vinciarelli added, "Despite recent disappointments, we are encouraged about our prospects for Bricks, VIChip and Picor products. Owing to their differentiation and competitive advantages, our IBC Bricks are getting traction in networking and other applications. VIChip is completing development of second generation devices with considerably higher performance and cost-effectiveness. Picor is one quarter away from introducing its first SiP regulators, providing direct conversion to the Point Of Load from relatively high voltage sources at unprecedented density and efficiency."
Concluding his remarks, Dr. Vinciarelli stated, "Having hired executive sales and marketing talent with a track record of success in related industries, we have recently overhauled the front end of the business to support a high growth rate. While these initiatives will take years to come to complete fruition, we are projecting accelerating top and bottom line growth starting in 2012."
Depreciation and amortization for the third quarter of 2011 was approximately $2,813,000, and capital additions totaled $1,216,000. For the first nine months of 2011, depreciation and amortization was $8,214,000, and capital additions were $6,251,000, compared to $7,552,000 and $7,741,000, respectively, for the first nine months of 2010. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2,890,000 to approximately $66,889,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2011 from $69,779,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2011. There were no share repurchases during the quarter, and approximately $8,500,000 remains authorized for additional purchases under the company's stock repurchase plan.
As of September 30, 2011, the company held approximately $11,175,000, at par value, of auction rate securities classified as long-term investments purchased though broker / dealer affiliates of Bank of America NA. As previously disclosed, conditions in the market for auction rate securities and the repeated failure of auctions by which such securities are priced have led the company to classify its holdings as long-term investments and reduce their carrying value to an estimated market value. Based on the company's ability to access cash and other short-term investments and its expected operating cash flows, management does not anticipate the current lack of liquidity of holdings of auction rate securities will affect its ability to execute its current operating plan.
