Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Vicor Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 31, 2025. The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed by the Company with the SEC on March 3, 2025.

- Investments
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held one auction rate security with a par value of $3,000,000 and an estimated fair value of approximately $2,664,000 and $2,641,000, respectively, purchased through and held in custody by a broker-dealer affiliate of Bank of America, N.A., that has experienced failed auctions (the “Failed Auction Security”) since February 2008. The Failed Auction Security held by the Company is Aaa/AA+ rated by major credit rating agencies, is collateralized by student loans, and is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Management is not aware of any reason to believe the issuer of the Failed Auction Security is presently at risk of default. Through March 31, 2025, the Company has continued to receive interest payments on the Failed Auction Security in accordance with the terms of its indenture. Management believes the Company ultimately should be able to liquidate the Failed Auction Security without significant loss primarily due to the overall quality of the issue held and the collateral securing the substantial majority of the underlying obligation. However, current conditions in the auction rate securities market have led management to conclude the recovery period for the Failed Auction Security exceeds 12 months. As a result, the Company continued to classify the Failed Auction Security as long-term as of March 31, 2025.

- Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for certain financial assets at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-level hierarchy is used to show the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements.

- Segment Information
The Company has determined its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to be the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of managing the business, allocating resources, making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company is organized and operates as a single operating and reportable segment. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income. The CODM manages the business using consolidated expense information for thesingle operating segment. All expense categories on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are significant and there are no other significant segment expenses that would require disclosure.
The Company offers a comprehensive range of modular building blocks enabling rapid design of a power system specific to a customer’s precise needs. Based on design, performance, and form factor considerations, as well as the range of evolving applications for which the products are appropriate, the Company categorizes its product portfolios as either Advanced Products or Brick Products, which constitute one segment. Both product lines are built in the Company’s manufacturing facility in Andover, Massachusetts employing similar processing and production techniques, and are supported by the same sales and marketing organizations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

- Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards, whether they possess time-based vesting provisions or performance-based vesting provisions, and awards granted under the Vicor Corporation 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), as of their grant date.

| Total stock-based compensation | $4,349 | $3,780 |
- Rental Income
Income, net under the Company’s operating lease agreement, for its owned facility leased to a third party in California, was approximately $284,000 and $198,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The initial term of the lease agreement expired on May 31, 2024 and was extended for an additional eighty-four months, commencing June 1, 2024 and ending May 31, 2031.
- Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes includes estimated federal, state and foreign income taxes.
The provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Provision for income taxes | $424 | $1,071 |
| Effective income tax rate | 14.2% | (8.0)% |
The effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 primarily due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position against net domestic deferred tax assets. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 included estimated federal, state, and foreign income taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have sufficient tax attributes.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $61,488,000 againstall net domestic deferred tax assets, for which realization cannot be considered more likely than not at this time. Management assesses the need for the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and
-11- negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and past financial performance. Despite recent positive operating results, the Company faces uncertainties in forecasting its operating results due to the unpredictability of customer orders in certain markets, product transitions, new program introductions and adoption times of new technology offerings. This operating uncertainty also makes it difficult to predict the availability and utilization of tax benefits over the next several years. As a result, management has concluded, as of March 31, 2025, it is more likely than not the Company’s net domestic deferred tax assets will not be realized, and a full valuation allowance against all net domestic deferred tax assets is still warranted as of March 31, 2025. The valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets may require adjustment in the future based on changes in the mix of temporary differences, changes in tax laws, and operating performance. If the positive operating results continue, the Company’s concerns about industry uncertainty, product transitions, new program introductions and adoption times of new technology offerings are resolved, and the Company believes future taxable income can be more reliably forecasted, the Company may release all or a portion of the valuation allowance in the near-term. Certain state tax credits, though, will likely never be released by the valuation allowance. If and when the Company determines the valuation allowance should be released (i.e., reduced), the adjustment would result in a tax benefit reported in that period’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, the effect of which would be an increase in reported net income.
- Net Income (Loss) per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net income (loss) attributable to Vicor Corporation | $2,539 | $(14,473) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Denominator for basic net income (loss) per share – weighted average shares (1) | 45,217 | 44,516 |
| Effect of dilutive securities: | ||
| Employee stock options (2) | 278 | — |
| Denominator for diluted net income (loss) per share – adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions | 45,495 | 44,516 |
| Basic net income (loss) per share | $0.06 | $(0.33) |
| Diluted net income (loss) per share | $0.06 | $(0.33) |
(1)
Denominator represents the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding.
(2)
Options topurchase 1,016,008 and 2,500,448 shares of Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were not included in the calculation of net income (loss) per share as the effect would have been antidilutive.
- Commitments and Contingencies
At March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $6,525,000 of cancelable and non-cancelable capital expenditure commitments, principally for manufacturing equipment.
As previously reported in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K, the Company is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit originally filed on January 28, 2011 by SynQor, Inc. (“SynQor”) in the U.S. District Court for the
-12-
Eastern District of Texas (the “District Court”). SynQor alleged that certain Vicor products infringed certain United States Patents owned by SynQor.
On October 26, 2022, after a trial in the District Court, the jury returned a verdict finding that the Company willfully infringed one SynQor patent, and awarding SynQor damages in the amount of $6,500,000.
On May 20, 2024, the District Court issued an Amended Corrected Final Judgment, awarding SynQor actual damages of $6,500,000, enhanced damages of $4,500,000, costs in the amount of approximately $87,000, attorney fees in the amount of $9,500,000, and pre-judgment interest of approximately $5,400,000, for a total judgment of approximately $26,000,000. In addition, the District Court ordered that post-judgment interest would accrue at an amount of $2,323 per day starting on April 24, 2024 until the judgment is paid, compounded annually, and that additional post-judgment interest in the amount of $1,351 per day would accrue starting on May 20, 2024 until the judgment is paid, compounded annually.
On May 22, 2024, the Company filed an appeal of the District Court’s judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. That appeal remains pending.
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company recorded a litigation related accrual of $6,500,000 in the third quarter of 2022 and incremental litigation related accruals of $17,200,000 in the first quarter of 2024 and $2,300,000 in the second quarter of 2024 when the Amended Corrected Final Judgment was issued, for a total of $26,000,000, as its estimate based on the awarded judgments, including enhanced damages, pre-judgment interest, costs and attorney fees. The final determination of the litigation related accrual amount will be subject to appeal and could differ from the recorded liability.
Consistent with the court order, post-judgment interest will accrue on the pre-judgment amount until paid and the Company has recorded post-judgment interest of approximately $331,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, within the Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the associated Accrued litigation account.
On July 11, 2024, purported stockholders of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California styled Pouladian et al. v. Vicor Corporation et al., case number 3:24-cv-04196. The suit was brought against the Company and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman (the "Defendants"). The plaintiffs allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), due to allegedly false and misleading statements during earnings calls in 2023 about the Company’s commercial relationship with an existing customer. The complaint seeks damages, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs. The plaintiffs were appointed lead plaintiffs on October 24, 2024, and an amended complaint was filed on November 22, 2024. The Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the amended complaint on January 1, 2025 and the hearing for the motion to dismiss is scheduled for May 22, 2025. The Defendants believe the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
In addition, the Company is involved in certain other litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business, both as a defendant and a plaintiff. While the outcome of such other lawsuits and claims against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect such litigation or claims will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
- Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 requires a public business entity ("PBE") to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. For PBEs, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively by providing the
-13- revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or may apply the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. The Company expects this ASU to impact disclosures with no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after March 31, 2025 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
