percentage of revenue, increased to 51.1% for the fourth quarter of
2023, compared to 46.6% for the corresponding period a year ago,
but decreased from 51.8% for the third quarter of 2023.

Cash flow from operations totaled $22.1 million
for the fourth quarter, compared to cash flow from operations of
$0.9 million for the corresponding period a year ago, and cash flow
from operations of $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter totaled $7.7 million,
compared to $12.7 million for the corresponding period a year ago
and $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. Cash and cash
equivalents as of December 31, 2023 increased 6.3% sequentially to

Backlog for the fourth quarter ended December

year. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 50.6%

prior year. Net income for 2023 was $53.6 million, or $1.19 per

$0.57 per diluted share and 6.4% of revenue in the prior year. Cash
flows from operations totaled $75.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023, a 227.3% increase from cash flows from
operations of $22.9 million for the prior year.
Commenting on fourth quarter performance, Chief
Executive Officer Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli stated: “As our products
and applications pipeline create demand to fill our vertically
integrated foundry, we have turned down deals that would have been
inconsistent with our long term strategy.”
“Competitive AI platforms require higher current
density and Vertical Power Delivery (“VPD”). PoL systems with a
large multiplicity of phases have inadequate current density. Our
5G product line and ChiP foundry put us well ahead of AI power
system requirements, providing superior performance and scalable
capacity to expand the market opportunity.”
“We are also making progress protecting our IP
from NBM copycat makers and users. Our initial action seeks to
exclude importation of unlicensed servers and AI processors using
infringing NBMs. Our OEM license provides access to NBMs and VPD
from otherwise infringing sources, de-risking reliance on an
ecosystem of copycat suppliers lacking the requisite power system
IP. ”
