Commenting on the third quarter, Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Vicor's consolidated performance continues to reflect trends we have addressed in recent investor communications. The markets and applications on which we have traditionally focused remain soft, and our new product and market initiatives have yet to build momentum. We remain focused on these initiatives, with the goal of expanding and diversifying our customer base in 2013." Dr. Vinciarelli concluded, "I, again, affirm my commitment to our strategy and determination to stay the course."

There were no share repurchases during the quarter, and approximately $8,500,000 remains authorized for additional purchases.
In October 2012, Vicor settled its lawsuit against its insurance carriers, receiving a cash payment of $1,975,000 in exchange for Vicor's release of the carriers from future claims. This amount will be recorded as a gain from litigation-related settlement in the fourth quarter of 2012.
