    Commenting on fourth quarter performance, Chief Executive Officer Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli stated: “As our products and applications pipeline create demand to fill our vertically integrated foundry, we have turned down deals that would have been inconsistent with our long term strategy.”

    “Competitive AI platforms require higher current density and Vertical Power Delivery (“VPD”). PoL systems with a large multiplicity of phases have inadequate current density. Our 5G product line and ChiP foundry put us well ahead of AI power system requirements, providing superior performance and scalable capacity to expand the market opportunity.”

    “We are also making progress protecting our IP from NBM copycat makers and users. Our initial action seeks to exclude importation of unlicensed servers and AI processors using infringing NBMs. Our OEM license provides access to NBMs and VPD from otherwise infringing sources, de-risking reliance on an ecosystem of copycat suppliers lacking the requisite power system IP. ”
