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, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 31, 2020. The balance sheet at December 31, 2019 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, 2019 filed by the Company with the SEC on February 28, 2020 (“2019 Form
10-K”).
2.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined using the
first-in,
first-out
method) or net realizable value. Fixed production overhead is allocated to the inventory cost per unit based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Abnormal production costs, including fixed cost variances from normal production capacity, if any, are charged to cost of revenues in the period incurred. All shipping, handling and customs (e.g., tariff) costs incurred in connection with the sale of products are included in cost of revenues.
Inventory that is estimated to be excess, obsolete or unmarketable is written down to net realizable value. The Company’s estimation process for assessing net realizable value is based upon forecasted future usage which is derived based on backlog, historical consumption and expected market conditions. If the Company’s estimated demand and/or market expectation were to change or if product sales were to decline, the Company’s estimation process may cause larger inventory reserves to be recorded, resulting in larger charges to cost of revenues.
Inventories were as follows (in thousands):

|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
Raw materials |  | $ | 40,745 |  |  | $ | 35,901 |
Work-in-process |  |  | 8,139 |  |  |  | 5,184 |
Finished goods |  |  | 6,746 |  |  |  | 8,102 |
Net balance |  | $ | 55,630 |  |  | $ | 49,187 |

3.
Long-Term Investments
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held one 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. 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, 2020, 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, 2020.
The following is a summary of the
available-for-sale
security (in thousands):

|  |  |  |  | Gross Unrealized |  |  | Gross Unrealized |  |  | Estimated Fair |
June 30, 2020 |  | Cost |  |  | Gains |  |  | Losses |  |  | Value |
Failed Auction Security |  | $ | 3,000 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 445 |  |  | $ | 2,555 |

|  |  |  |  | Gross Unrealized |  |  | Gross Unrealized |  |  | Estimated Fair |
December 31, 2019 |  | Cost |  |  | Gains |  |  | Losses |  |  | Value |
Failed Auction Security |  | $ | 3,000 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 490 |  |  | $ | 2,510 |

As of June 30, 2020, the Failed Auction Security had been in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the Failed Auction Security on June 30, 2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below (in thousands):

|  |  |  |  | Estimated |
|  | Cost |  |  | Fair Value |
Due in twenty to forty years |  | $ | 3,000 |  |  | $ | 2,555 |

Based on the fair value measurements described in Note 4, the fair value of the Failed Auction Security on June 30, 2020, with a par value of $
3,000,000
, was estimated by the Company to be approximately $2,555,000. The gross unrealized loss of $445,000 on the Failed Auction Security consists of two types of estimated loss: an aggregate credit loss of $35,000 and an aggregate temporary impairment of $410,000. In determining the amount of credit loss, the Company compared the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost basis of the security, considering credit default risk probabilities and changes in credit ratings as significant inputs, among other factors.
The following table represents a rollforward of the activity related to the credit loss recognized in earnings on the Failed Auction Security for the six months ended June 30 (in thousands):

|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Balance at the beginning of the period |  | $ | 37 |  |  | $ | 41 |
Reductions in the amount related to credit gain for which other-than-temporary impairment was not previously recognized |  |  | (2 | ) |  |  | (2 | )
Balance at the end of the period |  | $ | 35 |  |  | $ | 39 |

At this time, the Company has no intent to sell the impaired Failed Auction Security and does not believe it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell this security. If current market conditions deteriorate further, the Company may be required to record additional unrealized losses. If the credit rating of the security deteriorates, the Company may be required to adjust the carrying value of the investment through impairment charges recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and any such impairment adjustments may be material.
Based on the Company’s ability to access cash and cash equivalents and its expected operating cash flows, management does not anticipate the current lack of liquidity associated with the Failed Auction Security held will affect the Company’s ability to execute its current operating plan.
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, 2020 (in thousands):

|  | Using |  |  |  |

As of June 30, 2020, there was insufficient observable auction rate security market information available to determine the fair value of the Failed Auction Security using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. As such, the Company’s investment in the Failed Auction Security was deemed to require valuation using Level 3 inputs. Management, after consulting with advisors, valued the Failed Auction Security using analyses and pricing models similar to those used by market participants (i.e., buyers, sellers, and the broker-dealers responsible for execution of the Dutch auction pricing mechanism by which each issue’s interest rate was set). Management utilized a probability weighted discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the estimated fair value of this security as of June 30, 2020. The major assumptions used in preparing the DCF model were similar to those described in Note 5
—
Fair Value Measurements in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2019 Form
10-K.
Quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2020 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  | Fai r Value |  |  | Valuation Technique |  | Unobservable Input |  | Weighted Average |
Failed Auction Security |  | $ | 2,555 |  |  | Discounted cash flow |  | Cumulative probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity |  |  | 0.11 | %

The change in the estimated fair value calculated for the investment valued on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 inputs (i.e., the Failed Auction Security) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was as follows (in thousands):

Balance at the beginning of the period |  | $ | 2,510 |
Credit gain on available-for-sale security included in Other income (expense), net |  |  | 2 |
Gain included in Other comprehensive income |  |  | 43 |
Balance at the end of the period |  | $ | 2,555 |

The Company has classified its contingent consideration obligations as Level 3 because the fair value for these liabilities was determined using unobservable inputs. The liabilities were based on estimated sales of legacy products over the period of royalty payments at the royalty rate, discounted using the Company’s estimated cost of capital.
The change in the estimated fair value calculated for the liabilities valued on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 inputs (i.e., the Contingent consideration obligations) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was as follows (in thousands):

Balance at the beginning of the period |  | $ | 451 |
Payments |  |  | (144 | )
Balance at the end of the period |  | $ | 307 |

There were no
t
ransfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
5.
Stockholders’ Equity
In June 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of a total of 1,769,231 shares of registered Common Stock and net proceeds of approximately $109.7 million, after deduction of underwriting discounts and offering
expenses
. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to expand its manufacturing facilities and for other general corporate purposes.
6.

Accounts receivable |  | $ | 48,502 |  |  | $ | 38,115 |  |  | $ | 10,387 |
Short-term deferred revenue and customer prepayments |  |  | (7,817 | ) |  |  | (5,507 | ) |  |  | (2,310 | )
Long-term deferred revenue |  |  | (894 | ) |  |  | (1,054 | ) |  |  | 160 |
Deferred expenses |  |  | 1,552 |  |  |  | 1,897 |  |  |  | (345 | )
Sales allowances |  |  | (867 | ) |  |  | (741 | ) |  |  | (126 | )

The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase in net revenues of approximately $9,962,000 in June 2020 compared to December 2019.
Deferred expenses are included in Other current assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability, when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance under a contract with a customer. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $1,700,000 and $1,736,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of each respective period.

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. Stock-based compensation expense was as follows (in thousands):

The increase in stock option compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to an increase in the number of stock options granted and to the acceleration of
recognition of
compensation expense on stock options granted to retirement eligible employees.

Rental Income
Income, net under the Company’s operating lease agreement for its leased facility with a third party in California was approximately $198,000 and $396,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The (benefit) provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30 , |  |  | June 30 , |
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
(Benefit) provision for income taxes |  | $ | (406 | ) |  | $ | 113 |  |  | $ | (900 | ) |  | $ | 539 |
Effective income tax rate |  |  | (17.9 | )% |  |  | 4.2 | % |  |  | (2,195.1 | )% |  |  | 7.3 | %

The effective tax rates were lower than the statutory tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 due primarily to the utilization of tax credits in 2020 and the combination of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits in 2019. The net tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the impact of excess benefits (and shortfalls) for stock options exercised during those periods. The (benefit) provision for income taxes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 also included estimated foreign income taxes and estimated state taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have net operating loss carryforwards.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company ha
d
a valuation allowance of approximately $30,363,000 against
all 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. While positive operating results in 2018 and 2019 caused the Company to be in a cumulative income position as of June 30, 2020, its overall profitability has been declining since the third quarter of 2018 and the Company recorded an operating loss in the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to overall reduced bookings for both Advanced and Brick products, reflecting U.S.-China trade/tariff dynamics and elements of macro uncertainty. While the Company recorded modest operating income and bookings increased in the second quarter of 2020, the continued uncertain impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the Company’s supply chain, and certain process issues with the production of Advanced Products are still contributing to near-term uncertainty. As a result, management has concluded a full valuation allowance against all net domestic deferred tax assets is still warranted as of June 30, 2020. 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 quarterly earnings continue, and the Company’s concerns about industry uncertainty and world events, the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the Company’s supply chain, process issues with the production of Advanced Products, and order volumes are resolved or alleviated to the point that the Company believes future profits 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 continue to require a 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.

Commitments and Contingencies
At June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $5,852,000 of capital expenditure commitments, principally for manufacturing equipment.
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 “Texas Action”). The complaint, as amended, alleges that the Company’s products, including but not limited to, unregulated bus converters used in intermediate bus architecture power supply systems, infringe SynQor’s U.S. patent numbers 7,072,190, 7,272,021, 7,564,702, and 8,023,290 (“the ‘190 patent”, “the ‘021 patent”, “the ‘702 patent”, and “the ‘290 patent”, respectively). SynQor’s complaint sought an injunction against further infringement and an award of unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, interest, costs and attorney fees. The Company has denied that its products infringe any of the SynQor patents, and has asserted that the SynQor patents are invalid and/or unenforceable. The Company has also asserted counterclaims seeking damages from SynQor for deceptive trade practices and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage arising from SynQor’s attempted enforcement of its patents against the Company.

On May 23, 2016, after extensive discovery, the Texas Action was stayed by the court pending completion of certain inter partes reexamination (“IPRx”) proceedings at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) (including any appeals from such proceedings to the Federal Circuit (as defined below)) concerning the SynQor patents, which are described below. That stay remains in force.
In 2011, in response to the filing of the Texas Action, the Company’s IPRx proceedings at the USPTO challenged the validity of all claims that were asserted against the Company by SynQor. The current status of these proceedings is as follows. Regarding the ‘190 patent IPRx, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”) issued a decision on March 13, 2015, determining that certain claims were invalid and remanding the matter to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the USPTO for further proceedings. On February 20, 2019, the PTAB issued a decision finding that all of the remaining challenged claims were unpatentable. SynQor has appealed that decision to the Federal Circuit, and the appeal remains pending. On August 30, 2017, the Federal Circuit issued rulings with regard to the IPRx proceedings for the ’021, ‘702 and ‘290 patents. With respect to the ‘021 patent, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s determination that all of the challenged claims of the ‘021 patent were invalid. The Federal Circuit remanded the case to the PTAB for further consideration of the patentability of certain claims that had been added by amendment during the reexamination. On February 20, 2019, the PTAB issued a decision affirming the examiner’s rejections of all challenged claims. SynQor has filed an appeal of that decision in the Federal Circuit, and that appeal remains pending. With respect to the ‘702 patent, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s determination that all of the challenged claims of the ‘702 patent were patentable. With respect to the ‘290 patent, the Federal Circuit vacated the PTAB’s decision upholding the patentability of the ‘290 patent claims, and remanded the case to the PTAB for further consideration. On February 20, 2019, the PTAB issued a decision reversing its prior affirmance of the examiner’s
non-adoption
of rejections with respect to the ‘290 patent, and entering rejections of all of the claims of the ‘290 patent. On May 20, 2019, as permitted by USPTO rules, SynQor requested the USPTO to reopen prosecution of this proceeding to address the new rejections made by the PTAB. While prosecution was reopened, the examiner has yet to issue a further substantive ruling.
On October 31, 2017, the Company filed a request with the USPTO for ex parte reexamination (“EPRx”) of the asserted claims of the ‘702 patent, based on different prior art references than had been at issue in the previous IPRx of the ‘702 patent. On September 12, 2018, a patent examiner found that all of the asserted claims were invalid. SynQor has appealed that ruling to the PTAB, where the appeal remains pending. On August 6, 2018, the Company filed a request with the USPTO for EPRx of the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent, based on different prior art references than had been at issue in the previous IPRx of the ‘190 patent. On August 9, 2019, the USPTO issued a final rejection of all of the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent. SynQor has appealed that ruling to the PTAB, where the appeal remains pending.
On January 23, 2018, the
20-year
terms of the ‘190 patent, the ‘021 patent, the ‘702 patent and the ‘290 patent expired. As a consequence of these expirations, the Company cannot be liable under any of the SynQor patents for allegedly infringing activities occurring after the patents’ respective expiration dates. In addition, any amended claims that may issue as a result of any of the still-pending reexamination proceedings will have no effective term and cannot be the basis for any liability by the Company.
The Company continues to believe none of its products, including its unregulated bus converters, infringe any valid claim of the asserted SynQor patents, either alone or when used in an intermediate bus architecture implementation. The Company believes SynQor’s claims lack merit and, therefore, it continues to vigorously defend itself against SynQor’s patent infringement allegations. The Company does not believe a loss is probable for this matter. If a loss were to be incurred, however, the Company cannot estimate the amount of possible loss or range of possible loss at this time.
In addition to the SynQor matter, the Company is involved in certain other litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. While the outcome of lawsuits and claims against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect any current 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 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance designed to simplify the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes, and also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This new guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements under Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The new guidance is effective for all entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. It is required to be applied on a retrospective approach with certain elements being adopted prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which will require measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for
available-for-sale
debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. It is required to be applied on a modified-retrospective approach with certain elements being adopted prospectively. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 30, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 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 voltage distribution on server motherboards, in server racks, and across datacenter infrastructure. We also target applications in aerospace and aviation, defense electronics, industrial automation, instrumentation, test equipment, solid state lighting, 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 automation, 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 among relatively fewer customers.
In June 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 1,538,462 shares of our Common Stock, at a price to the public of $65.00 per share. Pursuant to our agreement with the underwriter of this offering, the underwriter had a
30-day
option to purchase from us up to an additional 230,769 shares of our Common Stock. Including the shares associated with the exercise of this option, we issued a total of 1,769,321 shares of Common Stock in the offering and received net proceeds of approximately $109.7 million, after deduction of underwriting discounts and offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering for the expansion of our manufacturing facilities and other general corporate purposes.

June 30, 2020
Summary of Second Quarter 2020 Financial Performance
Consolidated net revenues for the second quarter of 2020 increased 11.6%, compared to consolidated net revenues for the first quarter of 2020, as net revenues of Advanced Products sequentially increased 36.1%, and net revenues of Brick Products sequentially increased 2.0%. For the second quarter of 2020, the percentage of total net revenues generated by sales of Advanced Products rose to 34.4% from 28.2% for the prior quarter, while the percentage of total net revenues generated by sales of Brick Products declined to 65.6% from 71.8% for the prior quarter.
Advanced Product revenue for the second quarter of 2020 rose 36.1% sequentially from the prior quarter, primarily reflecting increased shipments of Vicor’s
Power-on-Package
solutions for artificial intelligence applications in computing. Brick Product revenue rose 2.0% sequentially from the prior quarter, based on the recovery of Asian markets, notably China, offset by reduced domestic shipments, resulting from the negative influence of the
COVID-19
pandemic on U.S. manufacturing. Certain domestic customers significantly reduced production late in the first quarter of 2020 and, as of June 30, 2020, had yet to return to
pre-pandemic
demand levels, which also is reflected in both lower shipments to stocking distributors and, overall, lower turns volume.
Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of revenue declined three-tenths of a percentage point sequentially, from 43.1% for the first quarter of 2020, to 42.8% for the second quarter of 2020. Despite sequentially higher unit volume contributing to higher overhead absorption, product level profitability was influenced by the ongoing impact of the pandemic on our supply chain partners, resulting in production inefficiencies and cost variances. Certain suppliers curtailed operations during the second quarter of 2020 in response to the pandemic, reducing their ability to provide products and/or services to us in a timely manner. Other negative influences on gross margin percentage included a sequential shift in product mix and sequentially higher tariff charges, which totaled $2.0 million.
We recorded operating income of $2,033,000 in the second quarter of 2020, as operating expenses decreased 4.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. The sequential decline was associated with lower audit and legal costs, which typically are highest during the first quarter of each year, a decline in travel costs, given our restrictions on travel in response to the pandemic, and a decline in prototyping and related costs, which vary based on customer-specific requirements. For the second quarter of 2020, we incurred approximately $236,000 of incremental employee safety and well-being expenses directly associated with our response to the pandemic.
Overall results for the second quarter of 2020 were influenced by a $1.2 million
non-cash
charge associated with the acceleration of recognition of equity-based compensation expenses in connection with a Company-wide award of stock options in June. Because the Company’s option plan allows for participants who retire at age 62.5 or older retain their unvested options over their original vesting periods, the required accounting is to record at the time of the award all of the compensation expense for employees who have reached that age. The amounts of total equity-based compensation expenses, including such expenses associated with our 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Program, included in Cost of Goods Sold and Operating Expenses for the second quarter of 2020, were approximately $277,000 and $1,659,000, respectively, totaling $1,936,000.
We recorded a net income tax benefit of $406,000 for the second quarter of 2020. The net tax benefit for the second quarter and on a
year-to-date
basis reflects the impact of the high volume of stock options exercised during the two periods.
Net income attributable to Vicor Corporation (i.e., after net income or loss attributable to a noncontrolling interest) for the second quarter of 2020 was $2,667,000, representing net income per diluted share of $0.06, in contrast to a net loss of $(1,735,000), or $(0.04) per basic share, for the first quarter of 2020.
Bookings for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $87.5 million, an increase of 24.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. New orders for Brick Products increased 31.0% sequentially, largely driven by higher orders from our Chinese distributors. New orders for Advanced Products increased 15.8% sequentially, largely driven by higher orders from Asian contract manufacturers manufacturing on behalf of our OEM customers.

June 30, 2020
At June 30, 2020, order backlog totaled $127.5 million, an increase of 15.1% over the prior quarter. Included in this figure is approximately $8.0 million of orders rescheduled from the second quarter of 2020 into subsequent quarters, either by us or by customers, due to challenges associated with the pandemic.
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. Our quarterly gross margin as a percentage of net revenues may vary, depending on production volumes, 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.
Impact of
COVID-19
Pandemic
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the
COVID-19
outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” (i.e., a health emergency requiring coordinated action by the governments of effected countries). On January 31, 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency for the entire United States, thereby facilitating a nationwide public health response. On March 11, 2020,
COVID-19
was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, an indication of its global severity. Governments worldwide have responded with measures intended to contain the further spread of
COVID-19,
including mandatory closures of businesses, schools, and organizations.
On March 23, 2020, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ordered
non-essential
businesses closed and prohibited gatherings of more than 10 people, extending the Commonwealth’s emergency declaration made on March 10, 2020. Our headquarters and primary manufacturing facility are located in Massachusetts. However, the Company is designated as essential by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, given our role in supporting industrial sectors considered “critical infrastructure.” As such, we have continued to operate at, or close to, full manufacturing capacity, although there can be no assurance we will be able to continue to operate at such levels of manufacturing capacity.
Widespread uncertainty associated with the pandemic has contributed to reduced business activity worldwide. As described above, our financial performance for the second quarter of 2020 was materially impacted by the pandemic, as approximately $8.0 million of orders originally scheduled for delivery during the quarter were rescheduled for delivery during the third and fourth quarters of 2020, due to production constraints we experienced or substantially reduced manufacturing by our customers, both of which have been a result of the pandemic. As described above, the production constraints we experienced during the second quarter of 2020 resulted in inefficiencies and higher costs that, in the aggregate, had a material influence on our financial results for the period.
There can be no assurance that our financial performance will not continue to be materially negatively impacted in future quarters as a result of the pandemic, given the continued uncertainty. Since early March 2020, we have taken actions intended to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, business partners, and suppliers. Following guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration, state and local health authorities, and existing internal crisis management policies, we developed and implemented comprehensive health and safety measures at all of our locations, including: establishing a central response team; distributing information and carrying out education initiatives; implementing social distancing requirements, including the installation of transparent panels to physically separate individuals when in close proximity; distributing breathing masks, disposable gloves, disinfectant wipes, and thermometers to employees; implementing temperature checks at the entrances to our manufacturing facility; extensive and frequent disinfecting of our workspaces; modifying our meal services to minimize physical contact; enabling work-from-home arrangements for those employees who do not need to be physically on premises to perform their work effectively; and suspending travel. We expect to maintain these measures until we determine the pandemic is adequately contained for purposes of our business, and we may take further actions we consider to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, business partners, and suppliers, or in response to further government mandates or requirements.

June 30, 2020
While our facilities are currently operational, the further spread of
COVID-19
and the measures we have taken in response may negatively impact our operations, as well as those of our customers, business partners, and suppliers. As described above, we experienced production constraints associated with the pandemic during the second quarter of 2020, and such constraints contributed to lower revenue, reduced shipments and productivity, production inefficiencies, higher costs, and lower profitability. As such, there can be no assurance that future circumstances associated with the pandemic will not have a materially negative impact on our operations and, in turn, our financial performance.
Rates of absenteeism associated with employee self-quarantine due to exposure to
COVID-19
declined during the second quarter of 2020, as compared to the first quarter. As of the date of this report, we continue to operate with three shifts in our factory, and our engineering, sales, and administrative personnel have returned to the Company’s offices, unless restricted from doing so by local laws. The productivity of our factory may be reduced if absenteeism increases or if an employee is diagnosed with
COVID-19,
which likely would require further restrictive health and safety measures, including factory closure, to be implemented.
We are closely monitoring the performance and financial health of our customers, business partners, and suppliers, but an extended period of operational constraints brought about by the pandemic could cause financial hardship within our customer base and supply chain. Such hardship may continue to disrupt customer demand and limit our customers’ ability to meet their obligations to us. Similarly, such hardship within our supply chain could continue to restrict our access to raw materials or services. Additionally, restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of cargo transport by ship or air, could result in higher costs and inbound and outbound delays.
Although there is uncertainty regarding the extent to which the pandemic will continue to impact our operational and financial results in the future, the Company’s high level of liquidity (supplemented by the approximately $109.7 million of net proceeds from the public offering of shares of our Common Stock during the second quarter of 2020), flexible operational model, existing raw material inventories, and increased use of second-sources for critical manufacturing inputs together support management’s belief the Company will be able to effectively conduct business until the pandemic passes.
We are monitoring the rapidly changing circumstances, and may take additional actions to address
COVID-19
risks as they evolve, particularly if federal and state governments so require. Because much of the potential negative impact of the pandemic is associated with risks outside of our control, we cannot estimate the extent of such impact on our financial or operational performance, or when such impact might occur.
Please refer to Item 1A, “Risk Factors” below for updates to our risk factors associated with the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates.
The following summarizes our financial performance for the second quarter of 2020, compared to the second quarter of 2019:

| • |  | Net revenues increased 11.7% to $70,761,000 for the second quarter of 2020, from $63,355,000 for the second quarter of 2019, as total bookings for the quarter increased 45.4% as compared to the second quarter of 2019, and 24.9% sequentially from the first quarter of 2020. Net revenues of Advanced Products in the second quarter of 2020 increased nearly 60% as compared to the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to increased demand from Asian subcontract manufacturers, as further described below.

June 30, 2020

| • |  | Export sales represented approximately 71.4% of total net revenues in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 51.0% in the second quarter of 2019. This increase primarily reflects a partial recovery of Asian demand for Brick Products and a near doubling of shipments of Advanced Products to Asian subcontract manufacturers building systems for our OEM customers.

| • |  | Gross margin increased to $30,318,000 for the second quarter of 2020 from $29,117,000 for the second quarter of 2019, but gross margin, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased to 42.8% for the second quarter of 2020 from 46.0% for the second quarter of 2019. Despite higher unit sales/production volume in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the corresponding prior year period, this increase was partially offset by decreased product-level profitability, which was negatively influenced by production inefficiencies and cost variances caused by the ongoing impact of the pandemic on our supply chain partners. Other negative influences on gross margin as a percentage of net revenues included an unfavorable shift in product mix and higher tariff charges, which totaled $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2020.

| • |  | Backlog, which represents the total value of orders received for products received for which shipment is scheduled within the next 12 months, was approximately $127,514,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $100,665,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2019, $110,832,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2020 and $104,164,000 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.

| • |  | Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2020 increased $1,549,000, or 5.8%, to $28,285,000 from $26,736,000 for the second quarter of 2019, due to an increase in research and development expense of $1,124,000 and an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses of $425,000.

| • |  | We reported net income for the second quarter of 2020 of $2,667,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2,563,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.

| • |  | For the second quarter of June 30, 2020, depreciation and amortization totaled $2,728,000, and capital additions totaled $5,725,000, as compared to $2,553,000 of depreciation and amortization and $2,542,000 of capital additions, respectively, for the second quarter of December 31, 2019.

| • |  | Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $113,953,000, or 137.7%, to $196,704,000 compared to $82,751,000 at March 31, 2020, primarily due to the completion of a public offering of our Common Stock in June 2020, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $109,700,000.

| • |  | Inventories increased by approximately $2,278,000, or 4.3%, to $55,630,000 at June 30, 2020, compared to $53,352,000 at March 31, 2020. The increase in inventories was primarily due to an increase in raw materials to support our near term outlook for increasing production and to offset potential risks of future supply constraints.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Consolidated net revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $70,761,000, an increase of $7,406,000, or 11.7%, as compared to $63,355,000 for the second quarter of 2019, and an increase of $7,360,000, or 11.6%, on a sequential basis from $63,401,000 for the first quarter of 2020. Net revenues, by product line, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The increase in consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from the three months ended June 30, 2019 reflected an increase in total bookings of 45.4 % from the second quarter of 2019, and a 24.9% sequential increase from the first quarter of 2020. Bookings increased across all product lines in both the three-month and the
six-months
periods ended June 30, 2020, compared to the comparable periods in 2019. Shipments of Advanced Products increased primarily due to increased demand from Asian subcontract manufacturers building systems for our OEM customers.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2020 increased $1,201,000, or 4.1%, to $30,318,000, from $29,117,000 for the second quarter of 2019. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 42.8% for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 46.0% for the second quarter of 2019. The increase in gross margin dollars was primarily due to the increase in net revenue. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to an unfavorable change in product mix shipped (i.e., a higher percentage of lower margin products were produced and shipped during the quarter), certain supply chain constraints associated with the
COVID-19
pandemic, and higher tariff charges.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $15,455,000 for the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $425,000, or 2.8%, from $15,030,000 for the second quarter of 2019. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 21.8% for the second quarter of 2020 from 23.7% for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to the overall increase in net revenues. The components of the $425,000 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2020 from the second quarter of 2019 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  | Increase (decrease) |

Effective income tax rate |  |  | (17.9 | )% |  |  | 4.2 | %

The effective tax rates were lower than the statutory tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 due primarily to the utilization of tax credits in 2020 and the combination of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits in 2019. The net tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the impact of excess benefits (and shortfalls) for stock options exercised during the period. The (benefit) provision for income taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 also included estimated foreign income taxes and estimated state taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have net operating loss carryforwards.
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 2020 of $2,667,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2,563,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Consolidated net revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 were $134,162,000, an increase of $5,082,000, or 3.9%, from $129,080,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Net revenues, by product line, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Increase (decrease) |
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | $ |  |  | % |
Brick Products |  | $ | 91,945 |  |  | $ | 94,630 |  |  | $ | (2,685) |  |  |  | (2.8 | )%

Total |  | $ | 134,162 |  |  | $ | 129,080 |  |  | $ | 5,082 |  |  |  | 3.9 | %

The overall increase in consolidated net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to an overall 24.3% increase in bookings for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, principally due to an increase of 114.5% in bookings for Advanced Products.
Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $2,554,000, or 4.2%, to $57,649,000 from $60,203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 43.0% for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 as compared to 46.6% for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. Despite higher net revenues for the
six-month
period ended June 30, 2020, gross margin dollars and gross margin as a percentage of net revenues both decreased as compared to the
six-month
period ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to an unfavorable change in product mix shipped (i.e., a higher percentage of lower margin products were produced and shipped during the
six-month
period ended June 30, 2020), certain supply chain constraints associated with the
COVID-19
pandemic, and higher tariff charges.

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 other subsidiaries in Europe and Asia experienced more unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in 2020 compared to 2019. Interest income decreased due to a decrease in interest rates.
Income before income taxes was $41,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $7,401,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The primary sources of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were: (i) approximately $109.7 million of cash received in the form of net proceeds from the completion of the public offering of our Common Stock in June 2020 , (ii) $7,385,000 of cash 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 , and (iii) $3,669,000 of cash generated through operating activities . The primary use of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $8,724,000 for the purchase of equipment.
In November 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30,000,000 of our Common Stock (the “November 2000 Plan”). The November 2000 Plan authorizes us to make such repurchases from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amounts of Common Stock repurchases are at the discretion of management based on its view of economic and financial market conditions. We did not repurchase shares of Common Stock under the November 2000 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $8,541,000 remaining available for repurchases of our Common Stock under the November 2000 Plan.
As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $5,852,000 of capital expenditure commitments, principally for manufacturing equipment, which we intend to fund with existing cash. Our primary needs for liquidity are for making continuing investments in manufacturing equipment and for funding the construction of approximately 90,000 square feet of additional manufacturing space adjoining our existing Andover manufacturing facility, including architectural and construction costs. We believe cash generated from operations together with our available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund planned operational needs, capital equipment purchases, and the planned construction, for the foreseeable future.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As our cash and cash equivalents consist principally of cash accounts and money market 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, 2020, our long-term investment portfolio, recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Long-term investments, 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 (loss) income”, 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 in this security as of June 30, 2020.
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 risk to 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.
Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

(a) | Disclosure regarding controls and procedures.

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, 2020). 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, 2020, 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
-33-

Table of Contents
Vicor Corporation
June 30, 2020
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.

(b) | Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A — Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A – “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the following additional risk factors, which supplement and, in some cases, update those risk factors discussed in our Form
10-K:
Our financial and operational performance has been and may continue to be negatively influenced by the consequences of the
COVID-19
pandemic.
The
COVID-19
pandemic and the response of governments worldwide to contain its spread negatively influenced our financial and operational performance for the first and second quarters of 2020, and future developments may have a potentially more substantial negative influence on our financial and operational performance over an unknown period of time. We experienced certain supply chain constraints associated
with COVID-19 during
the first quarter of 2020, and such constraints contributed to lower revenue, reduced shipments, production inefficiencies, reduced productivity, and higher costs. In addition, we experienced similar pandemic-related circumstances during the second quarter of 2020, as the impact of the pandemic shifted, from the first quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2020, from affecting primarily Asian, and principally Chinese, customers, distribution partners, and suppliers, to affecting primarily domestic customers, distribution partners, and suppliers. In March 2020, certain U.S. customers, including stocking distributors, began curtailing new order placement, reflecting their own lowered sales or production forecasts. This contributed to lower revenue from these domestic customers during the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, approximately $8.0 million of shipments scheduled for delivery during the second quarter of 2020 were rescheduled for delivery during the third and fourth quarters of 2020, by us or our customers, in response to consequences of the pandemic. During the second quarter of 2020, certain suppliers continued to experience pandemic-related constraints on their ability to supply us goods and services in a timely manner. As a consequence, we experienced production inefficiencies, lower productivity, and higher costs, which contributed to lower profitability. Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the
COVID-19
pandemic, there can be no assurance that future circumstances associated with the pandemic will not have a materially negative influence on our future financial and operational performance.
We have taken action to protect the health and safety of our workforce, the costs of which, to date, have not had a material effect on our financial performance. We expect to maintain the measures put in place until we determine the
COVID-19
pandemic is adequately contained for purposes of our business, and we may take further actions we consider to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, business partners, and suppliers or in response to government mandate or requirement. Such further actions may have a negative influence on our costs and productivity and, in turn, our financial and operational performance.
Our customers, business partners, and suppliers have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the
COVID-19
pandemic, which also may contribute to a negative influence on our future financial and operational performance.
The expansion of the production area of our Andover manufacturing facility may result in disruptions, delays, or cost increases.
We have been making and will continue to make capital investments for the expansion of manufacturing capacity for the production of Advanced Products at our Andover facility. Based on our extended long-term volume forecast, we anticipate additional capacity will be required to meet expected requirements. We believe the most appropriate manner of meeting our long-term capacity requirements will be to initially expand the production area of our Andover facility by approximately 90,000 square feet, through the addition of a
two-story
wing. In December 2019, we acquired, for approximately $1.5 million, approximately three acres adjacent to our facility to accommodate our Andover facility expansion. During the second quarter of 2020, we began construction of the approximately 90,000 square feet addition to our existing plant in the first half of 2020 and take occupancy later in the year. Full operational capacity is scheduled for late in the first half of 2021. Construction activity can be difficult to schedule, and construction sites can present management and operational challenges. As such, given the proximity of the addition to our existing operations, this construction activity has the potential to disrupt our current operations, which could cause production to be delayed and costs to increase.

Vicor Corporation
Part II – Other Inforamtion
June 30, 2020
We continue to invest in our production machinery and equipment in order to enhance the efficiency and capacity of our current manufacturing capabilities. However, sustained, uniform, high-volume production levels may not be achievable due to difficulties in planning, implementing or executing such improvements. In such event, our product-level profitability may not reach the levels necessary to adequately cover manufacturing costs and operating expenses. Similarly, our estimates for revenue capacity generated through capital expenditures on our existing machinery and facility (or the possible construction of any new facilities) may not meet management expectations.
In addition, once the facility expansion is completed, we may not experience the anticipated operating efficiencies as we commence manufacturing operations within the newly-expanded facility. Any delay in achieving anticipated operating efficiencies associated with added capacity may cause manufacturing costs to be higher than expected for some period of time, thereby potentially negatively influencing our operating and financial results.
We may experience challenges in implementing the manufacturing processes we expect to be transitioning from an external third-party partner to a dedicated, internal capability. This transition will require near-term development of new operational competencies, and if such development is delayed, we may experience reduced manufacturing yields, delays in product deliveries, and/or increased expenses as we develop these competencies.
Our scheduled facility expansion described above includes installation of certain equipment and implementation of certain manufacturing steps associated with manufacturing processes we currently outsource to a third-party partner. These manufacturing processes are associated with a proprietary packaging approach requiring complex metal surface finishing using advanced, environmentally safe technologies. Given our volume expectations and the proprietary elements of these processes, we have chosen to accelerate the development of a captive capacity that we expect will exceed the capacity currently available from our third-party partner. Today, we own and, with our employees, operate equipment on premises at our third-party partner and, as such, have established a level of operational competencies we believe will enable us to successfully install and implement these manufacturing processes internally. Additionally, we previously entered into a supply agreement with the third-party partner providing for technology and process transfer, including the purchase of uniquely enabling equipment developed by the third-party partner. We expect to rely on our third-party partner for production requirements through the expected equipment installation and qualification in the first half of 2021. We also expect to rely on our third-party partner in the future for surge capacity requirements. If we are unable to complete our expansion in a timely manner, or if we are unable to implement the new manufacturing processes, we may not be able to achieve the capacity anticipated and, as a result, may experience reduced manufacturing yields, delays in product deliveries, and/or increased expenses, which would negatively influence our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any interruptions to or issues with our relationships with third-party partners may negatively influence our manufacturing yields and revenue capacities.
