| Vicor Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results |
 |
ANDOVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2004--Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Revenues for the quarter increased to $45,374,000 compared with $38,693,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. The Company reported net income for the quarter of $61,000 compared with a net loss of $5,958,000 in the corresponding period of 2003, and a diluted net income per share of $.00 compared with a diluted loss per share of $.14 in the corresponding period of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 revenues increased to $87,895,000 from $76,433,000 for the same period of 2003. The Company reported a net loss for the period of $1,129,000 compared with a net loss of $12,587,000 in 2003, and a diluted loss per share of $.03 compared with a diluted loss per share of $.30 in 2003. In the second quarter, revenues increased by 17.3% from the second quarter of 2003, and increased by 6.7% on a sequential basis from the first quarter of 2004. The book to bill ratio for the second quarter was .97:1 as compared with .98:1 in the second quarter of 2003 and 1.13:1 in the first quarter of 2004. The Company ended the second quarter of 2004 with approximately $41.2 million in backlog compared to $42.7 million at the end of the first quarter and $37.0 million at the end of 2003. In the second quarter, gross margin improved to 38.3%, compared with 27.2% in the second quarter of 2003 and 35.3% in the first quarter of 2004. The sequential improvement in gross margin is attributable to higher levels of shipments and to a non-recurring $800,000 reduction in an accrual associated with the settlement of a commercial dispute. The improvement was offset, in part, by increased depreciation of approximately $200,000 resulting from shortening of the useful lives of certain equipment as a consequence of the conversion of second-generation products to the FasTrak platform. This increase in depreciation expense is expected to continue through the next three quarters. Depreciation and amortization in the quarter was $5.3 million and capital additions were $1.2 million. Depreciation expense decreased approximately $275,000 from the second quarter of 2003 and remained essentially the same as in the first quarter of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 depreciation and amortization was $10.6 million and capital additions were $2.2 million. This compares with depreciation and amortization of $11.3 million and capital additions of $3.3 million in the corresponding period of 2003. The Company reported income before taxes of $362,000 for the quarter compared with a loss before taxes of $5,729,000 in the corresponding period of 2003. Tax provisions in 2004 and 2003 are required as the Company operates in various state and international taxing jurisdictions, subject to a variety of income and related taxes, and due to federal and state taxes for certain minority-owned subsidiaries that are not part of the Company's consolidated income tax returns. Based on the Company's current estimate of its tax provision for the year, we expect that the tax expense for each of the remaining quarters in 2004 will approximate that of the second quarter. Inventories increased by approximately $1.7 million to $23.8 million as compared with $22.1 million at the end of 2003 and increased by approximately $300,000 from the end of the first quarter of 2004. Cash and short-term investments were $117.4 million, an increase of approximately $3.3 million from the end of the first quarter of 2004 and an increase of approximately $8.7 million from the end of 2003. During the quarter, the Company did not repurchase any shares and has $26.0 million remaining on its authorized stock buy-back plan. On June 30, 2004 the Company announced that it had entered into a non-exclusive license with Sony Corporation relating to Vicor's Factorized Power Architecture, V--I Chip(TM) power converters and the enabling technologies and semiconductor components used in V--I Chips. The license grants Sony rights to design and manufacture power converters, using V--I Chip technology and Factorized Power, for use within its products and for sale to its customers in certain agreed-upon applications. Royalties are based upon the value of licensed converters used or sold. For more information on Vicor and its products, please visit the Company's website at www.vicorpower.com.
