Included in net income for the third quarter of 2016 was the reversal of approximately $768,000 of previously recorded stock-based compensation expense for certain performance-based stock options, as Management concluded the related performance targets would not be met. Included in net income for the third quarter of 2015 was a gain from equity method investment of $5,000,000, representing cash consideration received for the Company's investment in Great Wall Semiconductor Corporation ("GWS"), following the acquisition of GWS by Intersil Corporation in September 2015.

Commenting on third quarter financial performance, Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Approximately $0.04 out of $0.06 per share in recorded earnings was due to non-recurring items and seasonal influences on operating expenses. Nevertheless, we are encouraged by Q3 results, as lower shipments of legacy products were offset by higher shipments of ChiP VTM and SiP PRM modules. Higher volumes of ChiPs and SiPs contributed to improved gross margins."
Dr. Vinciarelli continued, "Ongoing weakness led to lower bookings of legacy Brick products. However, interest in ChiPs, VIAs and advanced new products continues to grow, as evidenced by an accelerating rate of projects funded by customers awarding us design wins. We are globally engaged with OEMs driven to our modular power solutions to achieve higher performance and a lower Total Cost of Ownership in Enterprise Computing (inclusive of Datacenters and Supercomputing), Instrumentation, LED Lighting, Networking, Wireless Telecom, Autonomous Driving and Aerospace applications. With a five-fold reduction in size relative to competing alternatives, power systems leveraging Vicor converters from the power source to the Point-of-Load enable superior end products. While conditions in certain markets continue to negatively influence our legacy business, demand from new customers has been escalating and supports our confidence in reaching an inflection point in revenues and profitability."
