Preliminary Guidance Regarding Expected First Quarter Financial Performance
Today, the Company provided an update on its expected results for the first quarter of 2013. On February 20, 2013, the Company stated it expected to record first quarter revenue and earnings sequentially lower than levels recorded for the fourth quarter of 2012. Based on preliminary information for the first quarter, the Company now expects to record first quarter revenue of approximately $42.0 million, compared to fourth quarter revenue of $50.4 million, and a first quarter pre-tax loss of approximately ($8.4 million), including $1.4 million of severance costs relating to the first quarter reduction in work force, compared to a fourth quarter pre-tax loss of ($4.3 million).
Dr. Vinciarelli stated, “First quarter bookings improved significantly from the depressed level of the fourth quarter, but we still see weakness across many of our targeted markets. New products are being well-received, but are early in their sales cycle. I look forward to addressing investors’ questions during the Company’s upcoming earnings call, as I do believe Vicor has a bright future, despite current disappointments.”
