Time) during management’s quarterly investor conference call.
The details for accessing the call are presented below.
Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December
31, 2018 totaled $73.7 million, a 25.4% increase from $58.8 million
for the corresponding period a year ago, and a 5.5% sequential
decrease from $78.0 million for the third quarter of 2018. Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $291.2 million, an
increase of 27.8% from $227.8 million the prior year.
Gross margin increased to $33.9 million for the

corresponding period a year ago, and decreased sequentially from
$39.0 million for the third quarter of 2018. Gross margin, as
a percentage of revenue, increased to 45.9% for the fourth quarter
of 2018, compared to 45.8% for the corresponding period a year ago
and decreased from 50.0% for the third quarter of 2018.
Net income for the fourth quarter was $6.9
million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.6
million, or $0.04 per share, for the corresponding period a year
ago, and net income of $13.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share,
for the third quarter of 2018. Net income for 2018 was $31.7
million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to net income of
$167,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the prior year.
Cash and cash equivalents sequentially increased
by $2.4 million to approximately $70.6 million at the end of the
fourth quarter of 2018, from $68.2 million at the end of the third
quarter of 2018. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter
totaled $11.3 million, up from $3.3 million for the third quarter
and $2.4 million for the corresponding period a year ago.
Fourth quarter bookings decreased 15.2% to $60.5
million, from $71.3 million for the corresponding period a year
ago, and decreased sequentially 33.6% from $91.1 million for the
third quarter of 2018. Total backlog at the end of the fourth
quarter of 2018 was $103.0 million, up 41% from $73.1 million at
the end of 2017.
Commenting on the fourth quarter, Dr. Patrizio
Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our Q4 results
reflect sudden headwinds including temporary softness in data
center spending and the impact of tariffs on imports by
China. Our revenue was lower than forecast as orders were
delayed and deliveries rescheduled. Lower production volumes and
inefficiency caused by shifting mix caused a sequential decline in
gross margins. Nevertheless, year-over-year Vicor recorded a 28%
increase in revenue and a 41% increase in backlog.”
Dr. Vinciarelli continued: “AI ASICs and GPUs
drawing hundreds of Amperes below 1 Volt are adopting Vicor’s
Power-on-Package™ (“PoP”) solutions. PoP design-in activity
using MCMs recently took on a new dimension with design wins
leveraging Geared MCMs, or “GCMs”. By providing efficient Vertical
Power Delivery, GCMs support peak currents in the thousands of
Amperes fueling the computational power necessary to make AI even
smarter. Advanced solutions are extending Vicor’s lead over
competition anchored by legacy 12V infrastructure or confused by
misinformed claims about GaN.”
“In automotive, Vicor is getting significant
traction with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers challenged by
electrification and the advent of the 48V bus. Our value
proposition importantly includes the high density and modular
flexibility needed by advanced autonomous driving systems. Based on
the trajectory of early engagements, we expect that within a few
years our growth in the automotive segment will be comparable to
the growth we are now experiencing powering AI and servers in
datacenters.”
“In general, across key growth markets, Vicor is
recognized for unrivaled technological leadership in high
performance power system solutions. We are addressing major
opportunities and scaling up capacity to support forecast
production requirements.”
