Acquisition Activities


As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to expand through targeted acquisitions of other manufacturers of electronic components.  These acquisition targets include businesses that have established positions in major markets, reputations for product quality and reliability, and product lines with which the Company has substantial marketing and technical expertise.  It also includes certain businesses that possess technologies which the Company expects to further develop and commercialize.

MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc.

On October 28, 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc. ("MaxPower"), a San Jose, California-based fabless power semiconductor provider dedicated to delivering innovative and cost-effective technologies that optimize power management solutions.  The acquisition of MaxPower will enhance the Company's operationscurrent and future silicon carbide ("SiC") offerings for fast-growing markets such as electric vehicles.

The Company paid cash of $50,000, net of cash acquired, at closing.  Related to the transaction, Vishay may also be required to make certain contingent payments of up to $57,500, which would be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones, upon favorable resolution of certain technology licensing matters with a third party, and upon the disposition of MaxPower's investment in an equity affiliate.  The purchase price for U.S. GAAP purposes includes the People's Republicfair value, as of China, particularlythe acquisition date, of certain future contingent payments to non-employee equity holders of MaxPower.  The estimated fair value of this contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was $6,851.  The contingent consideration liability is included in Shanghai, were impacted by COVID-19 government mandated shut-downs of our facilitiesother accrued expenses and other liabilities in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.  The Company incurred incremental costs separable from normal operations that are directly related to the shut-downs, primarily wages paid to manufacturing employees during the shut-downs, additional wagesaccompanying balance sheet and hardship allowances for working during lockdown periods, and temporary housing for employees due to travel restrictions, which were partially offset by government subsidies.  The net impact of the costs and subsidies areis remeasured each reporting period, with changes reported as cost of products sold ($6,661) and selling, general, and administrative expenses of ($546) based on employee function on the consolidated condensed statementsstatement of operationsoperations.  See Note 13 for further discussion on the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended July 2, 2022.
fair value measurement. 

Based on an estimate of their fair values, the Company allocated $18,600 of the purchase price to definite-lived intangible assets.  After allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a preliminary estimation of their fair values at the date of acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $36,885 related to this acquisition.  The goodwill related to this acquisition is included in the MOSFETs reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing.  The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is considered preliminary as the Company is awaiting further information about the contingent payments.  The estimated values of definite-lived intangible assets and goodwill have not changed as of April 1, 2023.

The results and operations of this acquisition have been included in the MOSFETs segment since October 28, 2022.

Note 4 – Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and foreign income taxes.  The effective tax rates for the periods ended JulyApril 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 reflect the Company’s expected tax rate on reported income before income tax and tax adjustments.

Prior to December 15, 2024, the holders of the convertible senior notes due 2025 may convert their notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter ending September 29, 2018, if the sale price of Vishay common stock reaches 130% of the conversion price for a specified period; (2) the trading price of the notes falls below 98% of the product of the sale price of Vishay's common stock and the conversion rate for a specified period; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions.  The convertible senior notes due 2025 are not currently convertible.

Upon conversion of the convertible senior notes due 2025, Vishay will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying $1 cash per $1 principal amount of converted notes and settle any additional amounts due in common stock.

The quarterly cash dividend program of the Company results in adjustments to the conversion rate and effective conversion price for the convertible senior notes due 2025 effective as of the ex-dividend date of each cash dividend.  The conversion rate and effective conversion price for the convertible senior notes due 2025 is adjusted for quarterly cash dividends to the extent such dividends exceed $0.085 per share of common stock.

14Credit Facility

The Company maintains a credit facility with a consortium of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders, which was scheduled to mature on June 5, 2024 (the "Existing Credit Facility").  On May 8, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement, which provides an aggregate commitment of $750,000 of revolving loans available until May 8, 2028 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”).  The maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility will accelerate if within ninety-one days prior to the maturity of the Company’s convertible senior notes due 2025, the outstanding principal amount of such notes exceeds a defined liquidity measure as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

U.S. Dollar borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread and an interest margin.  The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also allows for borrowings in euro, British sterling, and Japanese yen, subject to a $250,000 limit.  Borrowings in foreign currency bear interest at a local reference rate plus an interest margin.  The applicable interest margin is based on Vishay's total leverage ratio.  Based on Vishay's current total leverage ratio, borrowings bear interest at SOFR plus 1.60%, including the applicable credit spread.  Vishay also pays a commitment fee, also based on its total leverage ratio, on undrawn amounts.  The undrawn commitment fee, based on Vishay's current total leverage ratio, is 0.25% per annum.

Similar to the Existing Credit Facility, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires the maintenance of financial covenant ratios.  For compliance purposes, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the leverage ratio is computed on a net basis, reducing the measure of outstanding debt by up to $250,000 of unrestricted cash.  The Company must maintain a net leverage ratio of at least 3.25 to 1.00.  Permitted investments and restricted payments are also subject to a pro forma net leverage ratio (2.75 to 1.00 and 2.50 to 1.00, respectively).

Other terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are substantially similar to the Existing Credit Facility.

If the average market price of Vishay common stock is less than the effective conversion price of the convertible senior notes due 2025, no shares are included in the diluted earnings per share computation for the convertible senior notes due 2025.  Upon Vishay exercising its existing right to legally amend the indenture governing the convertible senior notes due 2025, Vishay will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying $1 cash per $1 principal amount of converted notes and settle any additional amounts due in common stock.  Accordingly, the notes are not anti-dilutive when the average market price of Vishay common stock is less than the effective conversion price of the convertible senior notes due 2025.

There have been no changes in the classification of any financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy in the periods presented.

The Company maintains non-qualified trusts, referred to as “rabbi” trusts, to fund payments under deferred compensation and non-qualified pension plans. Rabbi trust assets consist primarily of marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale and company-owned life insurance assets. The marketable securities held in the rabbi trusts are valued using quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The company-owned life insurance assets are valued in consultation with the Company’s insurance brokers using the value of underlying assets of the insurance contracts.  The fair value measurement of the marketable securities held in the rabbi trust is considered a Level 1 measurement and the measurement of the company-owned life insurance assets is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company holds investments in debt securities that are intended to fund a portion of its pension and other postretirement benefit obligations outside of the United States.  The investments are valued based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The fair value measurement of the investments is considered a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

From time to time, the Company purchases precious metals bullion in excess of its immediate manufacturing needs to mitigate the risk of supply shortages or volatile price fluctuations.  The metals are valued based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the period.  The fair value measurement of the metals areis considered a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.  The inventory of precious metals bullion in excess of its immediate manufacturing needs was not material at April 1, 2023.

The Company has entered into forward contractsmay be required to make certain contingent payments to non-employee equity holders of MaxPower pursuant to the acquisition agreement, which would be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones, upon favorable resolution of certain technology licensing matters with highly-rated financial institutions to mitigatea third party, and upon the foreign currency risk associated with intercompany loans denominateddisposition of MaxPower's investment in a currency other than the legal entity's functional currency.an equity affiliate.  The Company had 0 outstanding forward contracts as of July 2, 2022.  The notional amount of the forward contracts was $100,000 as of December 31, 2021.  The forward contracts were short-term in nature and were renewed at the Company's discretion until the intercompany loans were repaid.  We did not designate the forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and as such the change in the fair value of these contingent consideration payments is determined by estimating the contracts would be recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations as a component of other income (expense). The Company estimates the fairnet present value of the forward contractsexpected cash flows based on applicable and commonly used pricing models using current market information and wasthe probability of expected payments.  The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration is considered a Level 23 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.  The value of the forward contracts was immaterial as of December 31, 2021.  The Company does not utilize derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

The fair value of the long-term debt, excluding the derivative liabilities and deferred financing costs, at July 2, 2022April 1, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 is approximately $446,100$571,600 and $485,500,$491,100, respectively, compared to its carrying value, excluding the deferred financing costs, of $471,344$572,344 and $465,344,$507,344, respectively.  The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using a combination of quoted market prices for similar financing arrangements and expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
At July 2, 2022April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company’s short-term investments were comprised of time deposits with financial institutions that have maturities that exceed 90 days from the date of acquisition; however they all mature within one year from the respective balance sheet dates.  The Company's short-term investments are accounted for as held-to-maturity debt instruments, at amortized cost, which approximates their fair value. The investments are funded with excess cash not expected to be needed for operations prior to maturity; therefore, the Company believes it has the intent and ability to hold the short-term investments until maturity.  At each reporting date, the Company performs an evaluation to determine if any unrealized losses are other-than-temporary.  NaNNo other-than-temporary impairments have been recognized on these securities, and there are 0no unrecognized holding gains or losses for these securities during the periods presented.  There have been 0no transfers to or from the held-to-maturity classification.  All decreases in the account balance are due to returns of principal at the securities’ maturity dates.  Interest on the securities is recognized as interest income when earned.

At July 2, 2022April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were comprised of demand deposits, time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased, and money market funds.  The Company estimates the fair value of its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments using levelLevel 2 inputs.  Based on the current interest rates for similar investments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity, the fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and held-to-maturity short-term investments approximate the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The Company’s financial instruments also include accounts receivable and accounts payable.  The carrying amounts for these financial instruments reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets approximate their fair values.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is intended to provide an understanding of Vishay's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by focusing on changes in certain key measures from period to period. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in Item 1.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in Item 1A. "Risk Factors," filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2022.22, 2023.

Overview

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay," "we," "us," or "our") manufactures one of the world’s largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components that are essential to innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets.

We operate in six segments based on product functionality: MOSFETs, Diodes, Optoelectronic Components, Resistors, Inductors, and Capacitors.

We are focused on enhancing stockholder value by growing our business and improving earnings per share.  Since 1985, we have pursued a business strategy of growth through focused research and development and acquisitions.  We plan to continue to grow our business through intensified internal growth supplemented by opportunistic acquisitions, while at the same time maintaining a prudent capital structure.  To foster intensified internaldrive growth and optimize stockholder value, we have increased our worldwide R&D and engineering technical staff; we are increasing our technical field sales force in Asia to increase our market access to the industrial segment and increase the design-in of our products in local markets; and we are directing increased funding and focus on developing productsplan to capitalize on the connectivity, mobility,mega trends of electrification, data storage, and sustainabilitywireless communications by developing go-to-market strategies and investing in and expanding the thirty key product lines for growth driversthat we have identified, increasing our capacity internally by investing approximately $385 million in 2023 and approximately $1.2 billion over the next three years primarily for capital expansion projects outside of China and externally by outsourcing production of commodity products to subcontractors, enhancing channel management, investing in internal resources by adding customer-facing engineers and filling gaps in technology and market coverage, promoting the full breadth of our business.  We are also investing in additional capital expenditures to expand key product lines.  Over the next few years, we expect to experience higher growth rates than over the last decade. This expectation is based upon accelerated electrification, such as factory automation, electrical vehicles,portfolio through solution selling, and 5G infrastructure.instituting a Think Customer First organizational culture.  

In addition to enhancing stockholder value through growing our business, on February 7,in 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy, which calls for us to return at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, on an annual basis.  See further discussion in “Stockholder Return Policy” below.

On May 8, 2023, we amended and restated our $750 million revolving credit agreement, which replaced our credit agreement that was scheduled to mature in June 2024.  The amendment and restatement extends the maturity date of the revolving credit agreement until May 8, 2028, replaces the existing total leverage ratio used for financial covenant compliance measurement with a net leverage ratio, and replaces the LIBOR-based interest rate and related LIBOR-based mechanics applicable to U.S. dollar borrowings under the revolving credit agreement with an interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (including a customary spread adjustment) and related SOFR-based mechanics.  The maturity date of the amended and restated facility will accelerate if within ninety-one days prior to the maturity of our convertible senior notes due 2025, the outstanding principal amount of such notes exceeds a defined liquidity measure as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.  Other terms and conditions are substantially unchanged.

Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be impacted by worldwide economic conditions.  Our revenues are dependent on end markets that are impacted by consumer and industrial demand, and our operating results can be adversely affected by reduced demand in those global markets.  The worldwide economy and, specifically, our business were and continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  While the wide-spread economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Vishay was temporary as evidenced by our revenues since the beginning of 2021, similar disruptions have continued to occur on a more limited scale. 

Our operations in the People's Republic of China, particularly in Shanghai, were impacted by COVID-19 government mandated shut-downs in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.  These manufacturing facilities were temporarily closed and some were operating at levels less than full capacity.  We incurred incremental costs separable from normal operations that are directly related to the government mandated shut-downs, primarily wages paid to manufacturing employees during the shut-downs, additional wages and hardship allowances for working during lockdown periods, and temporary housing for employees due to travel restrictions, which were partially offset by government subsidies.  The net impact of the costs and subsidies are reported as cost of products sold ($6.7 million) and selling, general, and administrative expenses ($0.5 million) based on employee function on the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended July 2, 2022.We exclude from the amounts reported above any expenses incurred outside of the People's Republic of China and all indirect financial changes from the COVID-19 pandemic such as general macroeconomic effects and higher shipping costs due to reduced shipping capacity.  In this volatile economic environment, we continue to closely monitor our fixed costs, capital expenditure plans, inventory, and capital resources to respond to changing conditions and to ensure we have the management, business processes, and resources to meet our future needs.  We will react quickly and professionally to changes in demand to minimize manufacturing inefficiencies and excess inventory build in periods of decline and maximize opportunities in periods of growth.  We have significant liquidity to withstand temporary disruptions in the economic environment.  

We utilize several financial metrics, including net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, segment operating margin, end-of-period backlog, book-to-bill ratio, inventory turnover, change in average selling prices, net cash and short-term investments (debt), and free cash generation to evaluate the performance and assess the future direction of our business.  See further discussion in “Financial Metrics” and “Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources” below.  Despite ongoing pandemic-related issues and further accelerating inflation, nearly allThe key financial metrics have increased versusremained strong in the priorfirst fiscal quarter andof 2023, but were negatively impacted by a distributor inventory correction that resulted in lower orders.  We have experienced increased input costs.  A portion of these increased costs are absorbed in inventory, which positively impacts gross profit when inventory is built, but will negatively impact gross profit when the prior year quarter.  We continueinventory is sold.  Average selling prices increased to maximize manufacturing output at all facilities, increase critical manufacturing capacities, and implement broad price increases due to inflationary pressures.  Order levels continue to be high and backlogs continue to increase.offset higher costs.

Net revenues for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2022April 1, 2023 were $863.5$871.0 million, compared to $853.8$855.3 million and $819.1$853.8 million for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2022 and April 2, 2022, and July 3, 2021, respectively.  The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2022April 1, 2023 were $112.4$111.8 million, or $0.78$0.79 per diluted share, compared to $72.8 million, or $0.51 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, and $103.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, and $93.2 million, or $0.64 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2021.2022.

Net revenues for the six fiscal months ended July 2, 2022 were $1,717.3 million, compared to $1,583.8 million for the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2021.  The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the six fiscal months ended July 2, 2022 were $216.0 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, compared to $164.6 million, or $1.13 per diluted share for the six fiscal months ended July 3, 2021.

We define adjusted net earnings as net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP adjusted for various items that management believes are not indicative of the intrinsic operating performance of our business.  We define free cash as the cash flows generated from continuing operations less capital expenditures plus net proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.  The reconciliations below include certain financial measures which are not recognized in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash.  These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity.  Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash do not have uniform definitions.  These measures, as calculated by Vishay, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management believes that adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share are meaningful because they provide insight with respect to our intrinsic operating results.  Management believes that free cash is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisitions, repay debt, and otherwise enhance stockholder value through stock repurchases or dividends.  We utilize the free cash metric in defining our Stockholder Return Policy.

OurDespite the distributor inventory correction that began in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022 and continued in 2023, our results for the fiscal quarters ended JulyApril 1, 2023, December 31, 2022, and April 2, 2022 July 3, 2021, and July 3, 2021 represent the continuation of the favorable business conditions that we have been experiencing.  Our percentage of euro-based sales approximates our percentage of euro-based expenses so the foreign currency impact on revenues was substantially offset by the impact on expenses.  Our pre-tax results were consistent with expectations based on our business model.

Our free cash results were significantly impacted by a temporary inventory build in 2022, the installment payments of the U.S. transition tax of $14.8 million in the second fiscal quarters of 2022 and 2021, and $25.2 million of payments of foreign, withholding, and claw-back cash taxes on foreign earnings in Israel for the net $81.2 million that was repatriated to the U.S. in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.

Stockholder Return Policy

On February 7,
We are focused on enhancing stockholder value by growing our business and improving earnings per share.  Over the next few years, we expect to experience higher internal growth rates than over the last decade.  This expectation is based upon accelerated electrification, such as factory automation, electrical vehicles, and 5G infrastructures.  To meet this expected increase in demand and to fully participate in growing markets, we intend to increase our capital expenditures for expansion outside of China in the mid-term.  The increased capital expenditures will be primarily used to increase manufacturing capacity for the thirty key product lines for growth that we identified.  The most significant expansion projects include building a 12-inch wafer fab in Itzehoe, Germany adjacent to our existing 8-inch fab, expanding our Inductors manufacturing, and expanding our GaAs fab in Heilbronn, Germany.

In 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy, which calls for us to return at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, on an annual basis.  We intend to return such amounts to stockholders directly, in the form of dividends, or indirectly, in the form of stock repurchases.

The following table summarizes activity pursuant to this policy (in thousands):

 Fiscal quarter ended Six fiscal months ended Fiscal quarters ended 
 
 July 2, 2022 July 2, 2022
 April 1, 2023 April 2, 2022
 
Dividends paid to stockholders  $14,339 $
28,808  $14,020  $14,469 
Stock repurchases  26,288  36,161   20,173  9,873 
Total  $40,627  $64,969  $34,193 $24,342 

DespiteDuring the slow start in free cash in the first six fiscal monthsfourth quarters of 2022 for the full year of 2022,and 2021, we expect to return at least $100 million to stockholders, consisting of approximately $58 million through our quarterly dividends, and at least $42 million through stock repurchases.

As a direct result of a change in tax law in Israel, we made the determination during the fourth quarter of 2021determined that substantially all unremitted foreign earnings in Israel and Germany, respectively, are no longer permanentlyindefinitely reinvested.  We intendThe changes in these indefinite reinvestment assertions will provide greater access to primarily utilize these earnings, distributed from Israelour worldwide cash balances to the United States, to initially fund our growth plan and our Stockholder Return Program.  We repatriated net $81.2 million to the United States from Israel during the second fiscal quarter of 2022.  The repatriated cash is being used to fundPolicy, but also increased our Stockholder Return Policy.

Over the long-term, we expect to fund the Stockholder Return Policy from our historically strong cash flows from operations.  However, because most of our operating cash flow is typically generated by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, we may in the future need to change our permanent reinvestment assertion on current earnings of certain subsidiaries, which would have the effect of increasing the effective tax rate.  Substantially all of these additional taxes would be withholding and foreign taxes on cash remitted to the U.S., as such dividends are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax.

The structure of our newly adopted Stockholder Return Policy enables us to allocate capital responsibly among our business, our lenders, and our stockholders. We will continue to invest in growth initiatives including key product line expansions, targeted R&D, and synergistic acquisitions. 

We have paid dividends each quarter since the first quarter of 2014, and the Stockholder Return Policy will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy.  Implementation of the Stockholder Return Policy is subject to future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors, market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors.  The policy sets forth our intention, but does not obligate us to acquire any shares of common stock or declare any dividends, and the policy may be terminated or suspended at any time at our discretion, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan

To better align our compensation programs with stockholders' interests, our Board has approved, and is proposing that its stockholders approve, the 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan") at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held May 23, 2023.  If approved by stockholders, the 2023 Plan will replace the Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Program (the “2007 Program”), which expires on May 20, 2024.  The 2023 Plan allows the Company to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, phantom stock units, and other cash-based awards to employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates.  If approved, the 2023 Plan will, among other changes, increase the total number of shares available for issuance to our employees and other service providers by up to 6,000,000 shares (subject to certain adjustments described in the 2023 Plan).  If approved, we plan to grant an aggregate of approximately 800,000 time-vested restricted stock units to approximately 1,000 employees.  Accordingly, stock compensation expense will increase in future periods.

Financial Metrics

We utilize several financial metrics to evaluate the performance and assess the future direction of our business.  These key financial measures and metrics include net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, segment operating income, segment operating margin, end-of-period backlog, and the book-to-bill ratio.  We also monitor changes in inventory turnover and our or publicly available average selling prices (“ASP”).

Gross profit margin is computed as gross profit as a percentage of net revenues.  Gross profit is generally net revenues less costs of products sold, but also deducts certain other period costs, particularly losses on purchase commitments and inventory write-downs.  Losses on purchase commitments and inventory write-downs have the impact of reducing gross profit margin in the period of the charge, but result in improved gross profit margins in subsequent periods by reducing costs of products sold as inventory is used.  We also regularly evaluate gross profit by segment to assist in the analysis of consolidated gross profit.  Gross profit margin and gross profit margin by segment are clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflect our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.

Operating margin is computed as gross profit less operating expenses, expressed as a percentage of net revenues.  Operating margin is clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflects our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.

Our chief operating decision maker makes decisions, allocates resources, and evaluates business segment performance based on segment operating income.  Only dedicated, direct selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of the segments are included in the calculation of segment operating income.  We do not allocate certain SG&A expenses that are managed at the regional or corporate global level to our segments.  Accordingly, segment operating income excludes these SG&A expenses that are not directly traceable to the segments.  Segment operating income would also exclude costs not routinely used in the management of the segments in periods when those items are present, such as restructuring and severance costs, the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other items affecting comparability.  Segment operating income is clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflects our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.  Segment operating margin is segment operating income expressed as a percentage of net revenues. 

End-of-period backlog is one indicator of future revenues. We include in our backlog only open orders that we expect to ship in the next twelve months.  If demand falls below customers’ forecasts, or if customers do not control their inventory effectively, they may cancel or reschedule the shipments that are included in our backlog, in many instances without the payment of any penalty.  Therefore, the backlog is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods.

An important indicator of demand in our industry is the book-to-bill ratio, which is the ratio of the amount of product ordered during a period as compared with the product that we ship during that period. A book-to-bill ratio that is greater than one indicates that our backlog is building and that we are likely to see increasing revenues in future periods. Conversely, a book-to-bill ratio that is less than one is an indicator of declining demand and may foretell declining revenues.

We focus on our inventory turnover as a measure of how well we are managing our inventory.  We define inventory turnover for a financial reporting period as our costs of products sold for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the reporting period divided by our average inventory (computed using each fiscal quarter-end balance) for this same period.  A higher level of inventory turnover reflects more efficient use of our capital.

Pricing in our industry can be volatile.  Using our and publicly available data, we analyze trends and changes in average selling prices to evaluate likely future pricing.  The erosion of average selling prices of established products is typical for semiconductor products.  We attempt to offset this deterioration with ongoing cost reduction activities and new product introductions.  Our specialty passive components are more resistant to average selling price erosion.  All pricing is subject to governing market conditions and is independently set by us.

The quarter-to-quarter trends in these financial metrics can also be an important indicator of the likely direction of our business. The following table shows net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, end-of-period backlog, book-to-bill ratio, inventory turnover, and changes in ASP for our business as a whole during the five fiscal quarters beginning with the secondfirst fiscal quarter of 20212022 through the secondfirst fiscal quarter of 20222023 (dollars in thousands):

See “Financial Metrics by Segment” below for net revenues, book-to-bill ratio, and gross profit margin broken out by segment.

Revenues increased significantly versus the second fiscal quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher volume and higher average selling prices.  Revenues increased slightly versus the prior fiscal quarter primarily due to higher average selling prices and positive foreign currency impacts.  Revenues increased slightly versus the first fiscal quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher average selling prices.  We continue to experience robust demand for our products, withThe book-to-bill ratio and backlog were negatively impacted by a distributor inventory correction that continued in the backlog continuing to grow.first fiscal quarter of 2023.  We continue to increase manufacturing capacity but sales continue to be limited by our capacity.  Pressure on averagefor critical product lines.  Average selling prices continuesincreased in the first fiscal quarter to be very low and we are implementing broad price increases across the product portfolio to offset increased materials and transportation costs and accelerating general inflation.

Sequentially, gross profit margin was flat, with higher average selling prices offset by directly related COVID-19 pandemic costs.  Gross profit margin increased versus the secondprior fiscal quarter and the first fiscal quarter of 20212022.  The increase versus the prior fiscal quarter is primarily due to higher average selling prices, positive foreign currency impacts, and the absorption of a portion of increased costs in inventory, which positively impacted gross profit in the current period, but will negatively impact gross profit when the inventory is sold.  The increase versus the first fiscal quarter of 2022 is primarily due to higher volume.average selling prices.

During the three fiscal months ended July 3, 2021.

We repatriated $81.2 million to the United States in the second fiscal quarter of 2022 pursuant to the repatriation program initiated in response to a change in Israeli tax law.  We paid withholding taxes, foreign taxes, and Israeli clawback taxes of $25.2 million due to the repatriation.  Tax expense for the repatriation was recorded in 2021 when the tax law was enacted.

During the six fiscal months ended July 2, 2022,April 1, 2023, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreasedincreased by $5.1$0.5 million on a net basis, primarily due to payments, statute expiration, and currency translation adjustments, partially offset by accruals for current year tax positions, and interest.

We operate in a global environment with significant operations in various locations outside the United States. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting our earnings and the applicable tax rates in the various locations where we operate. Part of our historical strategy has been to achieve cost savings through the transfer and expansion of manufacturing operations to countries where we can take advantage of lower labor costs and available tax and other government-sponsored incentives. 

Additional information about income taxes is included in Note 4 to our consolidated condensed financial statements.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Our financial condition as of July 2, 2022April 1, 2023 continued to be strong.  Cash and short-term investments exceed our long-term debt balances, and we have historically been a strong generator of operating cash flows.  The cash generated from operations is used to fund our capital expenditure plans, and cash in excess of our capital expenditure needs is available to fund our acquisition strategy, to reduce debt levels, and to pay dividends and repurchase stock.  We have generated cash flows from operations in excess of $200 million in each of the last 20 years, and cash flows from operations in excess of $100 million in each of the last 27 years.

Management uses a non-GAAP measure, "free cash," to evaluate our ability to fund acquisitions, repay debt, and otherwise enhance stockholder value through stock repurchases or dividends.  See "Overview" above for "free cash" definition and reconciliation to GAAP. Vishay has generated positive "free cash" in each of the past 25 years, and "free cash" in excess of $80 million in each of the last 20 years. In this volatile economic environment, we continue to focus on the generation of free cash, including an emphasis on cost controls.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $108.3$129.9 million for the sixthree fiscal months ended July 2, 2022,April 1, 2023, as compared to cash flows provided by operations of $174.8$33.6 million for the sixthree fiscal months ended July 3, 2021.April 2, 2022.

In order to manage our working capital and operating cash needs, we monitor our cash conversion cycle.  The following table presents the components of our cash conversion cycle:

  Fiscal quarters ended 
  April 1, 2023  December 31, 2022  April 2, 2022 
Days sales outstanding ("DSO") (a)
  45   45   43 
Days inventory outstanding ("DIO") (b)
  98   93   87 
Days payable outstanding ("DPO") (c)
  (32)   (31)  (37)
Cash conversion cycle  111   107   93 
a)  DSO measures the average collection period of our receivables.  DSO is calculated by dividing the average accounts receivable by the average net revenue per day for the respective fiscal quarter.
b)  DIO measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of our product.  DIO is calculated by dividing the average inventory by average cost of goods sold per day for the respective fiscal quarter.
c)  DPO measures the average number of days our payables remain outstanding before payment.  DPO is calculated by dividing the average accounts payable by the average cost of goods sold per day for the respective fiscal quarter.

The increase in inventory is partly due to an increase in input costs.  The recognition of higher input costs in inventory will negatively impact gross profit when the inventory is sold.

Cash paid for property and equipment for the sixthree fiscal months ended July 2, 2022April 1, 2023 was $95.7$45.6 million, as compared to $60.7$35.9 million for the sixthree fiscal months ended July 3, 2021.April 2, 2022.  To be well positioned to service our customers and to fully participate in growing markets, we intend to increase our capital expenditures for expansion in the mid-term.  For the year 2022, weWe expect to invest approximately $325$385 million in 2023 and approximately $1.2 billion over the next three years primarily for capital expenditures.expansion projects outside of China.

Free cash flow was lower than historical levels infor the sixthree fiscal months ended July 2, 2022 due to working capital changes,April 1, 2023 was negatively impacted by higher than usual capital expenditures, and cash taxes paid for repatriation.but still increased significantly versus the three fiscal months ended April 2, 2022 primarily due to a smaller increase in working capital.  We expect our business to continue to be a reliable generator of free cash.  There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to continue to generate cash flows from operations and free cash at our historical levels, or at all, going forward if the economic environment worsens. The COVID-19 pandemic and the mitigation efforts by governments to control its spread have not had a significant impact on our financial condition, liquidity, or capital resources.

On February 7,In 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy that will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy.  See “Stockholder Return Policy” above for additional information.

The following table summarizes the components of net cash and short-term investments (debt) at July 2, 2022April 1, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 (in thousands):

"Net cash and short-term investments (debt)" does not have a uniform definition and is not recognized in accordance with GAAP. This measure should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity.  However, management believes that an analysis of "net cash and short-term investments (debt)" assists investors in understanding aspects of our cash and debt management. The measure, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We invest a portion of our excess cash in highly liquid, high-quality instruments with maturities greater than 90 days, but less than 1 year, which we classify as short-term investments on our consolidated balance sheets.  As these investments were funded using a portion of excess cash and represent a significant aspect of our cash management strategy, we include the investments in the calculation of net cash and short-term investments (debt).

37

The interest rates on our short-term investments vary by location.  Transactions related to these investments are classified as investing activities on our consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.  We are aligning the maturity dates of our cash equivalents and short-terms investments in preparation of a planned repatriation late in the second fiscal quarter or early in the third fiscal quarter of 2023.  This has resulted in a decrease in our short-term investment balance.

As of July 2, 2022,April 1, 2023, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investmentinvestments were held in countries outside of the United States.  Cash dividends to stockholders, share repurchases, and principal and interest payments on our debt instruments need to be paid by the U.S. parent company, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.  Our U.S. subsidiaries also have cash operating needs.  The distribution of earnings from Israel and Germany to the United States will initially be used, in part, to fund our Stockholder Return Policy.  We expect that cash on-hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our longer-term financing needs related to normal operating requirements, regular dividend payments, share repurchases pursuant to our Stockholder Return Policy, and our research and development and capital expenditure plans.  Our substantially undrawn credit facility provides us with significant operating liquidity in the United States. 

Our
On May 8, 2023, we amended and restated our $750 million revolving credit facility provides an aggregate commitmentagreement, which replaced our credit agreement that was scheduled to mature in June 2024.  The amendment and restatement extends the maturity date of $750 million ofthe revolving loans availablecredit agreement until June 5, 2024.  May 8, 2028.

The maximum amount available on the revolving credit facility is restricted by the financial covenants described below.  The credit facility also provides us the ability to request up to $300 million of incremental facilities, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which could take the form of additional revolving commitments, incremental “term loan A” or “term loan B” facilities, or incremental equivalent debt.

At December 31, 2021, weWe had no amounts$42 million outstanding on our revolving credit facility.  We had $6facility at December 31, 2022 and $107 million outstanding at July 2, 2022.April 1, 2023.  We borrowed $504$87 million and repaid $498$22 million on the revolving credit facility during the sixthree fiscal months ended July 2, 2022.April 1, 2023.  The average outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility calculated at fiscal month-ends was $62.5$91.7 million and the highest amount outstanding on our revolving credit facility at a fiscal month end was $124$107 million during the sixthree fiscal months ended July 2, 2022.April 1, 2023.

The revolvingamendment and restatement of the facility replaces the leverage ratio used for compliance measurement with a net leverage ratio, reducing the measure of outstanding debt by up to $250 million of unrestricted cash.  Measurements prior to the amendment and restatement are based on a total leverage ratio.

Pursuant to the amended and restated credit facility, limits or restricts us from, among other things, incurring indebtedness, incurring liens on its respective assets, making investments and acquisitions (assuming our pro forma leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00), making asset sales, and paying cash dividends and making other restricted payments (assuming our pro forma leverage ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1.00), and requires us to comply with other covenants, including the maintenance of specific financial ratios.

The financial maintenance covenants include (a) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1; and (b) a net leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1 (and a pro forma ratio of 3.00 to 1 on the date of incurrence of additional debt). The computation of these ratios is prescribed in Article VI of the Credit Agreement between Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed June 5, 2019.May 8, 2023.

The revolving credit facility limits or restricts us from, among other things, incurring indebtedness, incurring liens on its respective assets, making investments and acquisitions (assuming our pro forma net leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00), making asset sales, and paying cash dividends and making other restricted payments (assuming our pro forma net leverage ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1.00).

We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the credit facility at July 2, 2022.April 1, 2023.  Our interest coverage ratio and (total) leverage ratio were 32.0331.69 to 1 and 0.670.71 to 1, respectively.  We expect to continue to be in compliance with these covenants based on current projections.

If we are not in compliance with all of the required financial covenants, the credit facility could be terminated by the lenders, and any amounts then outstanding pursuant to the credit facility could become immediately payable. Additionally, our convertible senior notes due 2025 have cross-default provisions that could accelerate repayment in the event the indebtedness under the credit facility is accelerated.  The maturity date of the amended and restated credit facility will accelerate if within ninety-one days prior to the maturity of our convertible senior notes due 2025, the outstanding principal amount of such notes exceeds a defined liquidity measure as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

BorrowingsPrior to the amendment and restatement, borrowings under the credit facility bearbore interest at LIBOR plus an interest margin.  The applicable interest margin is based on our total leverage ratio.  We also paypaid a commitment fee, also based on our total leverage ratio, on undrawn amounts.  The amended and restated credit facility replaces the LIBOR-based interest rate and related LIBOR-based mechanics applicable to U.S. dollar borrowings under the revolving credit agreement with an interest rate based on SOFR (including a customary spread adjustment) and related SOFR-based mechanics.  Borrowings in foreign currency bear interest at a local reference rate plus an interest margin.  Based on our current total leverage ratio, any new borrowings will bear interest at LIBORSOFR plus 1.50%1.60% (including the applicable credit spread), and the undrawn commitment fee is 0.25% per annum. 

The borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and general intangibles (but excluding real estate, intellectual property registered or licensed solely for use in, or arising solely under the laws of, any country other than the United States, assets located solely outside of the United States and deposit and securities accounts), of Vishay and certain significant subsidiaries located in the United States, and pledges of stock in certain significant domestic and foreign subsidiaries; and are guaranteed by certain significant subsidiaries.

We expect, at least initially, to fund certain future obligations required to be paid by the U.S. parent company by borrowing under our revolving credit facility.  We also expect to continue to use the credit facility from time-to-time to meet certain short-term financing needs.  Additional acquisition activity, convertible debt repurchases, or conversion of our convertible debt instruments may require additional borrowing under our credit facility or may otherwise require us to incur additional debt.  No principal payments on our debt are due before our revolving credit facility expires in June 2024.2025.

The convertible senior notes due 2025 are not currently convertible.  Pursuant to the indenture governing the convertible senior notes due 2025 and the amendments thereto incorporated in the Supplemental Indenture dated December 23, 2020, we will cash-settle the principal amount of $1,000 per note and settle any additional amounts in shares of our common stock.  We intend to finance the principal amount of any converted notes using borrowings under our credit facility.  No conversions have occurred to date.
