ANDOVER, Mass., July 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023 totaled $106.7 million, a 4.5% increase from $102.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and a 9.1% sequential increase from $97.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Gross margin increased to $55.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $46.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and increased sequentially from $46.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 51.7% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 45.8% for the corresponding period a year ago, and from 47.6% for the first quarter of 2023.

Net income for the second quarter was $17.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.6 million or $0.24 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year ago and net income of $11.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023.

Cash flow from operations totaled $19.0 million for the second quarter, compared to cash flow from operations of $10.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and cash flow from operations of $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. Capital expenditures for the second quarter totaled $8.5 million, compared to $14.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago and $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 increased 5.7% sequentially to approximately $203.8 million compared to approximately $192.9 million as of March 31, 2023.

Backlog for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 totaled $217.3 million, a 47.0% decrease from $410.0 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and 19.9% sequential decrease from $271.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2023.

Commenting on second quarter performance, Chief Executive Officer Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli stated: “Q2 bookings remained weak, ahead of production release of an AI platform with a Lateral Power Distribution Network (“PDN”) using a 4G ChiP-set, now expected to ramp in Q4. The same 4G ChiP-set will support a more adept Lateral-Vertical PDN, enabling a reduction of nearly 100W in total power consumption at heavy workloads and superior processor performance.”

“Further performance improvements will be enabled by 5G MCMs, raising current density by nearly 3X. High current density is necessary for 2^nd Gen VPD to circumvent the stacking complexity and cost of 1^st Gen VPD modules.”

“With the imminent completion of our first foundry, with 5G FPA enabling scalable, high efficiency Vertical Power Delivery (“VPD”), and with automotive electrification driving broad acceptance of ChiPs, I am confident about Vicor’s future growth and profitability.”
