About Vicor Corporation
About Vicor Corporation
Advanced Products drove 61.0% of Vicor Corporation's consolidated total net revenues in fiscal 2025, up from 55.0% in 2024, as adoption of the company's Factorized Power Architecture accelerated in hyperscaler data center applications. Brick Products contributed the remaining 39.0%. Order backlog was approximately $176.9 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $155.5 million a year earlier. Exports to China and Hong Kong reached approximately $48.3 million, or 11.9% of 2025 total net revenues, concentrated in Brick Products for industrial and rail applications.
Vicor sells power components through a direct sales force, independent non-stocking distributors in Europe and Asia, and four authorized stocking distributors worldwide: Arrow Electronics, Digi-Key Corporation, Avnet Electronics, and Mouser Electronics. Advanced Products target hyperscalers, OEMs, and contract manufacturers in data centers, using the Factorized Power Architecture — which separates power conversion into discrete modules, reducing thermal losses and enabling power delivery directly to GPUs and AI accelerators at up to 1,200A peak current. Brick Products serve aerospace, defense, industrial equipment, and transportation markets, competing with a fragmented mix of large global commodity suppliers and smaller regional producers. The company manufactures the majority of its products at a single facility in Andover, Massachusetts, with electroplating operations recently brought in-house. Section 301 Tariffs totaled approximately $7.4 million in 2025, representing roughly 1.8% of annual net revenues; the company added a 10% tariff surcharge on product pricing in the second half of 2025.

Customer dependency in the Advanced Products segment is the most directly cited risk in the 10-K: since the introduction of Advanced Products, the company has derived the majority of Advanced Products revenue from either one customer or a limited number of customers. Several product lines also depend on raw materials from a limited number of vendors and, in some instances, a single vendor. Unanticipated delays in purchase orders from large customers have produced lower-than-expected revenue in prior periods, and the 10-K notes that this strategic focus on fewer, higher-volume OEM accounts has caused a relative few such customers to disproportionately influence operating results.
