Net loss for the fourth quarter was ($1,752,000), or ($0.05) per share, compared to a net loss of nil, or ($0.00) per share, for the corresponding period a year ago and net income of $2,503,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015, decreased by 2.5% to $220,194,000 from $225,731,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. Net income for the current year was $4,927,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($13,887,000), or ($0.36) per share, for the corresponding period a year ago.

Cash used for operating activities totaled $164,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015, after adjusting for the deconsolidation of a noncontrolling interest, compared to cash provided by operations of $740,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5,591,000 to approximately $62,980,000 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015 from $68,571,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2015.

Regarding the fourth quarter and full year, Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Vicor revenue and profitability came in short of our expectations for 2015. As indicated before, Vicor revenue should be approaching an inflection point with expanding penetration of next generation datacenter servers and supercomputers by our 48V Factorized Power Architecture solutions. However, delays in the delivery of Intel's VR13 processors have deferred our anticipated revenue ramp. Vicor's power system business remained a steady contributor throughout 2015, despite challenging market conditions. New solutions, enabled by our high efficiency, high density ChiP modules and VIA packages, are beginning to penetrate legacy and emerging markets and should also contribute to improved performance. Vicor introduced an unprecedented number of new products during 2015, with broadening families of ChiP modules, ChiPs in VIAs, and SiPs. These unique modules, reflecting our Power Component Design Methodology, enable the most advanced, highest performance source-to-load power conversion solutions available. New product introductions will occur at an accelerating pace throughout 2016. I am confident that customer enthusiasm for our state-of-the-art power component and systems capability will give rise to sustained revenue growth."
