Insights

Vicor 's Q3 2024 results present a mixed picture. Revenue decreased 13.6% year-over-year to $93.2 million, but increased 8.5% sequentially. Gross margin declined to 49.1% from 51.8% a year ago, primarily due to product mix. Net income fell to $11.6 million ($0.26 per share) from $16.6 million ($0.37 per share) in Q3 2023. However, this marks a significant improvement from the Q2 2024 net loss. Cash flow from operations remained strong at $22.6 million and cash reserves increased to $267.6 million. The 13.8% year-over-year decline in backlog to $150.6 million is concerning, potentially indicating softening demand. The company's focus on AI applications and assertive IP protection strategy could be pivotal for future growth, but current financial metrics suggest challenges in maintaining previous performance levels.

Vicor's strategic positioning in the AI power systems market is noteworthy. The imminent delivery of 2nd generation, high-density VPD systems for AI applications showcases their technological edge. These systems, featuring superior density, bandwidth and signal integrity, align well with the increasing power demands of advanced AI processors. The company's IP enforcement actions, particularly the recent ITC determination, could significantly impact the competitive landscape. By potentially restricting imports of infringing modules, Vicor may secure a stronger market position. However, this strategy also carries risks, as it might alienate some customers or lead to workarounds. The emphasis on licensing Vicor IP to AI leaders for a resilient supply chain is a smart move, potentially creating long-term revenue streams and strategic partnerships in the rapidly growing AI sector.

ANDOVER, Mass., Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $93.2 million, a 13.6% decrease from $107.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and an 8.5% sequential increase from $85.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Gross margin decreased to $45.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $55.9 million for the corresponding period a year ago but increased from $42.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 49.1% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 51.8% for the corresponding period a year ago and 49.8% for the second quarter of 2024. Operating expenses increased to $40.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $40.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and decreased sequentially from $42.6 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Net income for the third quarter was $11.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.6 million or $0.37 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year ago and net loss of $(1.2) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

Cash flow from operations totaled $22.6 million for the third quarter, compared to cash flow from operations of $23.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and cash flow from operations of $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. Capital expenditures for the third quarter totaled $8.4 million, compared to $7.7 million for the corresponding period a year ago and $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 increased 6.2% sequentially to approximately $267.6 million compared to approximately $251.9 million as of June 30, 2024.

Backlog for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 totaled $150.6 million, a 13.8% decrease from $174.7 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and 2.1% sequential decrease from $153.8 million at the end of the second quarter of 2024.

Commenting on third quarter performance, Chief Executive Officer Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli stated: “Revenues and cash flow improved in Q3 while gross margins were impacted primarily by product mix. We are close to initial deliveries of 2nd generation, high density VPD systems for leading AI applications with current multipliers achieving superior density, bandwidth and signal integrity. Vicor’s VPD will enable AI processors setting new standards for compute performance and power system efficiency.”

“We are off to a good start asserting our Intellectual Property against unscrupulous actors playing a game of “catch me if you can”. As indicated in a recent Initial Determination from the International Trade Commission (“ITC”), contract manufacturers may be precluded from importing computing systems using infringing modules. Redesigned modules, or discrete alternatives, may still infringe and OEMs condoning infringement are taking chances with their supply chain. Leaders in Artificial Intelligence licensing Vicor IP are wisely securing a resilient supply chain of enabling power system solutions.”
