ANDOVER, MA--(Marketwire - July 22, 2010) - Vicor Corporation (
NASDAQ:
VICR) (the
"Company") today reported its financial results for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2010.
Revenues for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, increased to
$57,377,000, compared to $50,627,000 for the corresponding period a year
ago, and increased from $51,709,000 for the first quarter of 2010. Gross
margin increased to $25,739,000 for the second quarter of 2010, compared to
$22,598,000 for the corresponding period a year ago and $23,324,000 for the
first quarter of 2010. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased
to 44.9% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 44.6% for the second
quarter of 2009, but decreased slightly on a sequential basis from 45.1%
for the first quarter of 2010. Net income for the second quarter was
$4,747,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net income of
$1,341,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year
ago and net income of $1,952,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2010.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased by 7.9% to
$109,086,000 from $101,075,000 for the corresponding period a year ago.
Net income for the six month period was $6,699,000, or $0.16 per diluted
share, compared to a net loss of $(1,202,000) or $(0.03) per diluted share,
for the corresponding period a year ago.
Commenting on the Company's second quarter performance, Patrizio
Vinciarelli, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated: "Second quarter shipments and bookings were robust. Consolidated
revenue increased 11.0% sequentially while the consolidated book-to-bill
ratio was 1.43:1. Total backlog at the end of the second quarter was
$103,227,000, compared to $78,407,000, at the end of the first quarter."
"Brick components revenue grew 9.9% sequentially, with growth balanced
across product lines. V-I Chip revenue for the second quarter grew 11.3%
sequentially. V-I Chip bookings were strong on an absolute basis, but
declined 19.5% sequentially, reflecting the sizeable initial orders placed
by a large customer during the first quarter. This customer, along with
others, continued to place orders through the second quarter. Picor also
performed well, with strong second quarter sequential revenue and bookings
growth."
Dr. Vinciarelli concluded, "New product releases and design-in activities
with Bricks, V-I Chips and Picor products are progressing. An important
milestone that was recently reached is the engineering release of the PFM,
which is scheduled for general introduction after Labor Day. Significant
customer interest in DCMs in VIBrick packages points to growth
opportunities for our 'V-I Chip inside' Brick product strategy. Finally,
Picor's development of innovative silicon-centric solutions complements our
vision of enabling efficient power systems made from standard, yet
flexible, building blocks."
Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2010 was
approximately $2,524,000, and capital additions totaled $2,385,000. For
the first six months of 2010, depreciation and amortization was $4,957,000
and capital additions were $4,814,000, compared to $5,234,000 and
$2,749,000, respectively, for the first six months of 2009. Cash,
restricted cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by
$13,276,000 to approximately $55,701,000 at the end of the second quarter
of 2010 from $42,425,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2010. The
Company's Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.30 per share of
the Company's stock. The total dividend of approximately $12,506,000 is
payable on July 30, 2010, to shareholders of record at the close of
business on July 16, 2010. 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 June 30, 2010, the Company held approximately $19,250,000, 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. The Company's
remaining $8,600,000 of auction rate securities held by UBS AG ("UBS") were
redeemed at par on June 30, 2010, pursuant to an earlier agreement with
UBS, with a trade settlement date of July 1, 2010. Accordingly, the UBS
auction rate securities were recorded at par and classified as short-term
investments as of June 30, 2010. 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 the Company's ability to
execute its current operating plan.
In 2010, the tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax
rate for 2010, which includes estimated federal, state and foreign income
taxes on the Company's projected annual pre-tax income and estimated
federal and state income taxes for certain minority-owned subsidiaries that
are not part of the Company's consolidated income tax returns, offset by
the expected utilization of federal and foreign net operating loss
carryforwards. The tax provision in 2009 provided for estimated income
taxes due in various state and international taxing jurisdictions for which
losses incurred by the Company cannot be offset, and for estimated federal
and state income taxes for certain minority-owned subsidiaries that are not
part of the Company's consolidated income tax returns. The 2010 and 2009
tax provisions also include discrete items, principally expense for net
increases in state taxes and accrued interest for potential liabilities.
