patent litigation settlement regulatory
"a patent litigation settlement of $45.0 million for the corresponding period a year ago"
gross margin financial
"Gross margin increased sequentially to $83.1 million for the second quarter of 2026"
Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.
backlog financial
"Backlog for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 totaled $380 million"
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
deferred tax assets financial
"Long-term deferred tax assets | | | 38,746 | | | | 27,463"
An item on a company’s balance sheet showing tax benefits it can use later to reduce future tax bills — think of it as an IOU from the tax system for past losses or timing differences. It matters to investors because it can boost future cash flow and apparent value if the company expects profits ahead, but those benefits vanish if the company cannot generate taxable income and the asset must be reduced.
accrued litigation financial
"Accrued litigation | | | — | | | | 28,275"
2nd Gen VPD ChiPs technical
"toward a second fab for high current density 2nd Gen VPD ChiPs"
Product and royalty revenues $143.4 million 26.9% sequential increase from $113.0 million in the first quarter of 2026
Net income $49.8 million Compared to $20.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $41.2 million a year ago

FINANCIAL NEWS BRIEF

July 21, 2026

For Immediate Release

Vicor Corporation Reports Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2026

Andover, Mass., July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. These results will be discussed at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, during management’s quarterly investor conference call. The details for the call are below.

Product and royalty revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 totaled $143.4 million, a 26.9% sequential increase from $113.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $141.0 million from product revenues, royalty revenues and a patent litigation settlement of $45.0 million for the corresponding period a year ago.

Gross margin increased sequentially to $83.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $62.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, and decreased from $92.1 million for the corresponding period a year ago. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 58.0% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 55.2% for the first quarter of 2026. Gross margin decreased from 65.3% for the corresponding period a year ago which included the aforementioned $45.0 million patent litigation settlement. Operating expenses increased sequentially to $48.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $45.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, and increased from $46.7 million for the corresponding period a year ago.

Net income for the second quarter was $49.8 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $20.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026 and net income of $41.2 million or $0.91 per diluted share, for the corresponding period a year ago.

Cash flow from operations totaled $34.0 million for the second quarter, compared to cash flow used for operations of $(3.9) million in the first quarter of 2026, which included the impact of a $28.6 million payment of an award for past litigation, and cash flow from operations of $65.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago. Capital expenditures for the second quarter totaled $11.2 million, compared to $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $6.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 increased 12.2% sequentially to approximately $453.6 million compared to approximately $404.2 million as of March 31, 2026.

Backlog for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 totaled $380 million, a 26% sequential increase from $301 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026, and increased 145% from $155 million for the corresponding period a year ago.

Commenting on second quarter performance, Chief Executive Officer Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli stated: “Rising demand across high-performance compute, automatic test equipment, and industrial, aerospace and defense applications is absorbing increased capacity within our first ChiP fab. As we get closer to full capacity utilization, we are taking steps toward a second fab for high current density 2nd Gen VPD ChiPs.

AI OEMs and Hyper-scalers are at a loss dealing with the current density and PDN limitations of 1st Gen. VPD systems. The industry’s fixation with PoL regulators (replacing VRs, operating from 12V or 6V, with IVRs, operating from 1.8V) merely trades off one handicap (low current density) for another (low current gain). Feeding IVRs with a current multiplier is an incremental opportunity for Vicor.

With its 2nd Gen VPD IP, Vicor is uniquely equipped to overcome the power system challenges standing in the way of future advances in TPUs, GPUs and Wafer Scale Engines.”
