Capital expenditures for the first quarter totaled $22.7 million, compared to $9.3 million for the corresponding period a year ago and $16.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Commenting on first quarter performance, Dr. Patrizio Vinciarelli, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “For three consecutive quarters, component shortages and capacity constraints have caused revenues to fall short of expectations with increasing costs and manufacturing inefficiencies impacting margins.”
“The Q1 book-to-bill ratio came in well above 1, with one-year backlog increasing nearly 23% from the prior quarter. Substantial progress on production rates and margins awaits capacity expansion which is nearing completion for initial operations to start in Q3.”
“Capital investment into our first ChiP foundry accelerated in Q1. With its one million panels per year capacity, our Andover fab will support higher production rates necessary to catch up with rapidly expanding global demand for advanced power system solutions in major growth markets.”
