1. 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 and six months ended June 30, 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.

3. Investments
As of June 30, 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 $2,584,000 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2025.

4. 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.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis included the following as of June 30, 2025 (in thousands):

5. 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 the single 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.

The effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2025, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $61,483,000 against all 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 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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.

SynQor Litigation and Litigation Contingency Accruals
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 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
-15-
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 $344,000 and $675,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, within the Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and the associated Accrued litigation account.
Class Action Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
On July 11, 2024, purported short sellers of the Company’s stock filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California styled Benjamin 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 alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5(b) promulgated thereunder, due to allegedly false and misleading statements during earnings calls in 2023 about the Company’s commercial relationship with an existing customer. The complaint sought damages, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs. The court appointed lead plaintiffs on October 24, 2024 and restyled the case as In re Vicor Securities Litigation. An amended complaint was filed on November 22, 2024 which similarly alleged purported violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5(b) promulgated thereunder. The Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the amended complaint on January 20, 2025 and, on June 6, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted the motion to dismiss with leave to amend.
Settlement of Certain Intellectual Property Claims
On May 1, 2025, the Company entered into various settlement agreements to resolve lawsuits, arbitrations, and appeals related to certain intellectual property claims between the Company and certain parties, pursuant to which a total of $45,000,000 was paid to the Company in May 2025 (collectively, the “patent litigation settlement”). The Company incurred $5,100,000 in legal fees in connection with the patent litigation settlement, which were paid in June 2025 and are included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other Proceedings
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.
12. 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
-16-
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 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 June 30, 2025 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
13. Subsequent Event
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements and the results of such evaluations will be reflected in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2025.

Overview
We design, develop, manufacture, and market modular power components and power systems for converting electrical power for use in electrically-powered devices. Our competitive position is supported by innovations in product design and achievements in product performance, largely enabled by our focus on the research and development of advanced technologies and processes, often implemented in proprietary semiconductor circuitry, materials, and packaging. Many of our products incorporate patented or proprietary implementations of high-frequency switching topologies enabling power system solutions that are more efficient and much smaller than conventional alternatives. Our strategy emphasizes demonstrable product differentiation and a value proposition based on competitively superior solution performance, advantageous design flexibility, and a compelling total cost of ownership. While we offer a wide range of alternating current (“AC”) and direct current (“DC”) power conversion products, we consider our core competencies to be associated with 48V DC distribution, which offers numerous inherent cost and performance advantages over lower distribution voltages. However, we also offer products addressing other DC voltage standards (e.g., 380V for power distribution in data centers, 110V for rail applications, 28V for military and avionics applications, and 24V for industrial automation).
Based on design, performance, and form factor considerations, as well as the range of evolving applications for which our products are appropriate, we categorize our product portfolios as either “Advanced Products” or “Brick Products.” The Advanced Products category consists of our more recently introduced products, which are largely used to implement our proprietary Factorized Power Architecture™ (“FPA”), an innovative power distribution architecture enabling flexible, rapid power system design using individual components optimized to perform a specific conversion function.
The Brick Products category largely consists of our broad and well-established families of integrated power converters, incorporating multiple conversion stages, used in conventional power systems architectures. Given the growth profiles of the markets we serve with our Advanced Products line and our Brick Products line, our strategy involves a continuing transition in organizational focus, emphasizing investment in our Advanced Products line and targeting high growth market segments with a low-mix, high-volume operational model, while maintaining a profitable business in the mature market segments we serve with our Brick Products line with a high-mix, low-volume operational model.
The applications in which our Advanced Products and Brick Products are used are typically in the higher-performance, higher-power segments of the market segments we serve. With our Advanced Products, we generally serve large Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”), Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”), and their contract manufacturers, with sales currently concentrated in the data center and hyperscaler segments of enterprise computing, in which our products are used for power delivery on server motherboards, in server racks, and across datacenter infrastructure. We have established a leadership position in the emerging market segment for powering high-performance processors used for acceleration of applications associated with artificial intelligence (“AI”). Our customers in the AI market segment include the leading innovators in processor and accelerator design, as well as early adopters in cloud computing and high performance computing. We also serve applications in aerospace and aviation, defense electronics, satellites, factory automation, instrumentation, test equipment, transportation, telecommunications and networking infrastructure, and vehicles (notably in the autonomous driving, electric vehicle, and hybrid vehicle niches of the vehicle segment). With our Brick Products, we generally serve a fragmented base of large and small customers, concentrated in aerospace and defense electronics, industrial equipment, instrumentation and test equipment, and transportation (notably in rail and heavy equipment applications). With our strategic emphasis on larger, high-volume customers, we expect to experience over time a greater concentration of sales, including from intellectual property licensing, among relatively fewer customers. Aggregate royalty revenues of $88,000,000 from our patent licensing arrangements and income of $45,000,000 from certain patent litigation settlements relating to Vicor’s power-conversion technology (as described in more detail in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) have resulted in combined gross cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $133,000,000 since January 1, 2021.
Our quarterly consolidated operating results can be difficult to forecast and have been subject to significant fluctuations. We plan our production and inventory levels based on management’s estimates of customer demand, customer forecasts, and other information sources. Customer forecasts, particularly those of OEM, ODM, and contract manufacturing customers to which we supply Advanced Products in high volumes, are subject to scheduling changes on short notice, contributing to operating inefficiencies and excess costs. In addition, external factors such as supply chain uncertainties, which are often associated with the cyclicality of the electronics industry, regional macroeconomic and trade-related circumstances, and force majeure events (most recently evidenced by the COVID-19 pandemic), have caused our operating results to vary meaningfully. Supply chain disruptions, including those associated with our reliance on outsourced package process steps that are essential in the production of some of our Advanced Products, and those relating, for example, to the procurement of raw material, have in the past negatively impacted and may in the
-19-
future negatively impact our operating results. We have taken steps to mitigate the impact of supply chain disruptions by, among other things and in varying degrees, moving outsourced manufacturing steps in-house to the Company, ordering supplies with extended lead times, paying higher prices for certain supplies or outsourced production, and expediting deliveries at a cost premium. The resulting impact of the steps taken to mitigate supply chain disruptions have, to varying degrees and at different times, reduced our revenue, gross margin, operating profit and cash flow and may continue to do so in the future. Our quarterly gross margin as a percentage of net revenues may vary, depending on production volumes, licensing income, average selling prices, average unit costs, the mix of products sold during that quarter, and the level of importation of raw materials subject to tariffs. Our quarterly operating margin as a percentage of net revenues also may vary with changes in revenue and product level profitability, but our operating costs are largely associated with compensation and related employee costs, which are not subject to sudden or significant changes.
Summary of Second Quarter 2025 Financial Performance Compared to First Quarter 2025 Financial Performance
The following summarizes our financial performance for the second quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter of 2025:
-20-
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $96,046,000, an increase of $10,192,000, or 11.9%, as compared to $85,854,000 for the second quarter of 2024. Net revenues, by product line, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The increase in net revenues for Advanced Products was primarily due to available capacity for increased demand. The decrease in net revenues for Brick Products was primarily due to reduced market demand.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company received a patent litigation settlement payment of $45,000,000.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2025 increased $49,357,000, or 115.4%, to $92,128,000, from $42,771,000 for the second quarter of 2024. Gross margin, as a percentage of total net revenues and patent litigation settlement, increased to 65.3% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 49.8% for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross margin dollars and gross margin percentage was primarily attributable to the $45,000,000 patent litigation settlement payment received by the Company in the second quarter of 2025 and the favorable impact from higher sales volume and improved sales mix on that revenue, including royalty revenue, offset by the unfavorable impact of production inefficiencies including an increase in freight-in and tariff spending of $2,305,000 (net of approximately $0 in duty drawback recovery in the second quarter of 2025 and $662,000 in duty drawback recovery in the second quarter of 2024 of previously paid tariffs).
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27,952,000 for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $4,634,000, or 19.9%, from $23,318,000 for the second quarter of 2024.

Our exposure to market risk fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates to the operations of Vicor Japan Company, Ltd. (“VJCL”), for which the functional currency is the Japanese Yen, and all other subsidiaries in Europe and Asia, for which the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. These subsidiaries in Europe and Asia experienced favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

Income before income taxes was $49,042,000 for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $3,021,000 for the second quarter of 2024.
The provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
The effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2025 and 2024 included estimated federal, state, and foreign income taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have sufficient tax attributes.
The Company’s tax expense and the rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by the capitalization of research and development expenses under Section 174 in the U.S., which given the Company’s close to breakeven performance, was having an outsized impact on the rate by effectively moving from a book loss to a taxable income position, which caused a significant tax.
See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure regarding our current assessment of the valuation allowance against all domestic deferred tax assets, and the possible release (i.e., reduction) of the allowance in the future.
We reported net income for the second quarter of 2025 of $41,192,000, or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1,196,000), or $(0.03) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $190,014,000, an increase of $20,288,000, or 12.0%, from $169,726,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net revenues, by product line, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The increase in net revenues for Advanced Products was primarily due to available capacity for increased demand and increased royalty revenue. The decrease in net revenues for Brick Products was primarily due to reduced market demand.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received a patent litigation settlement payment of $45,000,000.
Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $48,599,000, or 55.3%, to $136,493,000 from $87,894,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin, as a percentage of total net revenues and patent litigation settlement, increased to 58.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 51.8% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The increase in gross margin dollars and gross margin percentage was primarily attributable to the $45,000,000 patent litigation settlement payment received by the Company in the second quarter of 2025 and the favorable impact from higher sales volume and improved sales mix on that revenue, including royalty revenue, when compared to the first six months of 2024, offset by the unfavorable impact of production inefficiencies including an increase in freight-in and tariff spending of $1,985,000 (net of approximately $0 in duty drawback recovery in the first six months of 2025 and $662,000 in duty drawback recovery in the first six months of 2024 of previously paid tariffs).

Our exposure to market risk fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates to the operations of Vicor Japan Company, Ltd., for which the functional currency is the Japanese Yen, and all other subsidiaries in Europe and Asia, for which the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. These subsidiaries in Europe and Asia experienced favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Income (loss) before income taxes was $52,027,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $(10,370,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
The effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 included estimated federal, state, and foreign income taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have sufficient tax attributes.

The Company’s tax expense and the rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by the capitalization of research and development expenses under Section 174 in the U.S., which given the Company’s six month performance, is having an outsized impact on the rate by effectively moving from a book loss to a taxable income position, which caused a significant tax expense. This is further compounded by the Company not getting a deferred tax benefit from temporary differences due to the full valuation allowance on domestic deferred tax assets.
We reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $43,731,000, or $0.97 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $(15,669,000), or $(0.35) per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $338,541,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The ratio of total current assets to total current liabilities was 7.0:1 as of June 30, 2025 and 7.5:1 as of December 31, 2024. Working capital, defined as total current assets less total current liabilities, increased $39,727,000 to $440,941,000 as of June 30, 2025 from $401,214,000 as of December 31, 2024.

The primary sources of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $85,353,000 generated from operations and $4,140,000 received in connection with the exercise of options to purchase our Common Stock awarded under our stock option plans and the issuance of Common Stock under our 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The primary uses of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were for the repurchases of Common Stock of $17,609,000 and property and equipment of $10,754,000.
In November 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30,000,000 of our Common Stock (the “November 2000 Plan”). In July 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100,000,000 of our Common Stock (the “New Repurchase Authorization”). The New Repurchase Authorization replaces the November 2000 Plan in its entirety and no further repurchases will be made pursuant to the November 2000 Plan. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $82,028,000 remaining available for repurchases of our Common Stock under the New Repurchase Authorization.
The timing and amounts of Common Stock repurchases under the New Repurchase Authorization are at the discretion of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer based upon economic and financial market conditions.

As of June 30, 2025, we had a total of approximately $4,894,000 of cancelable and non-cancelable capital expenditure commitments, principally for manufacturing and production equipment, which we intend to fund with existing cash, and approximately $2,279,000 of capital expenditure items and internal-use software which had been received and included in Property, plant and equipment, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but not yet paid for. Our primary needs for liquidity are for making continuing investments in manufacturing and production equipment. We believe cash generated from operations together with our available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund planned operational needs and capital equipment purchases, for both the short and long term.
We do not consider the impact of inflation or fluctuations in the exchange rates for foreign currency transactions to have been significant during the last three fiscal years.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes in our judgments and assumptions associated with the development of our critical accounting estimates during the period ended June 30, 2025. Refer to the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company licenses its intellectual property under right to use licenses, in which royalties due to the Company are generally based upon a percentage of the licensee’s sales. For these licensing transactions, the Company utilizes the exception under the revenue recognition guidance for the recognition of sales- or usage-based royalties, in which the royalties are not recognized until the later of when 1) the customer’s subsequent sales or usages occur, or 2) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales- or usage-based royalty has been allocated is satisfied or partially satisfied. In certain right to use licenses where payment is not based on sales-or-usage-based royalties, the Company estimates consideration it expects to be entitled to considering minimum expected payments and potential price concessions. Revenue for these licenses is recognized in an amount that is probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized would not occur.

Vicor Corporation
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents, our short-term investments and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consist principally of cash accounts, money market securities, and U.S. Treasury securities, which are short-term in nature, we believe our exposure to market risk on interest rate fluctuations for these investments is not significant. As of June 30, 2025, our long-term investment portfolio, recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Long-term investment, net”, consisted of a single auction rate security with a par value of $3,000,000, 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. While the Failed Auction Security is Aaa/AA+ rated by major credit rating agencies, collateralized by student loans and guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program, continued failure to sell at its periodic auction dates (i.e., reset dates) could negatively impact the carrying value of the investment, in turn leading to impairment charges in future periods. Periodic changes in the fair value of the Failed Auction Security attributable to credit loss (i.e., risk of the issuer’s default) are recorded through earnings as a component of “Other income (expense), net”, with the remainder of any periodic change in fair value not related to credit loss (i.e., temporary “mark-to-market” carrying value adjustments) recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”, a component of Stockholders’ Equity. Should we conclude a decline in the fair value of the Failed Auction Security is other than temporary, such losses would be recorded through earnings as a component of “Other income (expense), net”. We do not believe there was an “other-than-temporary” decline in value of this security as of June 30, 2025.
Our exposure to market risk for fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates to the operations of VJCL, for which the functional currency is the Japanese Yen, and changes in the relative value of the Yen to the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of all other subsidiaries in Europe and other subsidiaries in Asia is the U.S. Dollar. While we believe the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for these subsidiaries is generally not significant, they can be subject to substantial currency changes, and therefore foreign exchange exposures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (who is our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (who is our principal financial officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the last fiscal quarter (i.e., June 30, 2025). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Accordingly, management, including the CEO and CFO, recognizes our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any control’s effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company implemented a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system to replace its operational and financial systems. The Company completed significant pre-implementation testing prior to the implementation and post-implementation testing and monitoring during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 to ensure the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of this implementation, during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company modified certain existing internal controls over financial reporting and implemented new controls and procedures related to the new ERP system. During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, no other changes occurred in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company will continue to evaluate and monitor the internal controls over financial reporting during this period of change and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls.
