MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA – October 28, 2014 – Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH), one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive components, today announced its results for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2014.

Revenues for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2014 were $638.2 million, compared to $602.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013.  The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2014 were $27.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $32.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013.

Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2014 include restructuring and severance costs of $3.5 million and U.S. pension settlement charges of $15.6 million.  Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013 include a one-time tax benefit of $2.9 million to adjust deferred taxes subsequent to the enacting of a new tax law in Israel.  Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which exclude these items, were $0.26 and $0.20 for the fiscal quarters ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively.

Commenting on the results for the third quarter 2014, Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Revenues in the third quarter 2014 were slightly below the mid-point of our guidance. A strengthening US dollar and lower than expected shipments to distribution impacted the top line. In the third quarter, Asian distribution, as in previous years, reduced its orders placed with Vishay compared to previous quarters. At the same time, Vishay achieved a contributive margin for the quarter in its traditional range while keeping its fixed costs under control resulting overall in acceptable margins."

Commenting on Vishay's Merger and Acquisition activity, Marc Zandman, Vishay's Executive Chairman and Chief Business Development Officer, stated, "In September, we acquired an 88.95% interest in Taiwan-based Capella Microsystems, Inc. through a successful tender offer.  We expect to acquire the remaining shares through a merger, which was approved by Capella's shareholders on October 24, 2014. We anticipate the merger to close by the end of January 2015.  Capella is a leading fabless IC design company for optical sensors. Its strong market position for optical sensors complements Vishay's current capabilities in this high growth field very well. Capella is expected to grow as a business within Vishay while strengthening Vishay's position for optical sensors by adding in-house IC design capability and thus ensuring further growth in the mid- to long-term for our Opto business."

Commenting on the outlook Dr. Paul stated, "For the fourth quarter 2014 we anticipate a temporary slow-down of shipments to distribution and guide for revenues of $600 to $640 million at gross margins in line with this volume."

This press release includes certain financial measures which are not recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted net earnings;  adjusted earnings per share; adjusted operating margin; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"); adjusted EBITDA; and adjusted EBITDA margin; which are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These non-GAAP measures supplement our GAAP measures of performance or liquidity and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA; and adjusted EBITDA margin 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 such measures are meaningful to investors because they provide insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company. Although the term "EBITDA" is not defined in GAAP, the measure is derived using various line items measured in accordance with GAAP.  Reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net earnings and adjusted operating margin represent significant charges or credits that are important to understanding the Company's intrinsic operations. Reconciling items to calculate adjusted EBITDA represent those same items used in computing adjusted net earnings, as relevant.  Furthermore, the presented calculation of adjusted EBITDA is substantially similar to, but not identical to, a measure used in the calculation of financial ratios required for covenant compliance under Vishay's revolving credit facility.  These reconciling items are indicated on the accompanying reconciliation schedules and are more fully described in the Company's financial statements presented in its annual report on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports presented on Forms 10-Q.

Statements contained herein that relate to the Company's future performance, including statements with respect to forecasted revenues, margins, cash generation, internal growth and acquisition activity and results, product lines, market share, cost reduction programs, and the general state of the Company, are forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believe," "estimate," "will be," "will," "would," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "project," "intend," "could," "should," or other similar words or expressions often identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations only, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include: general business and economic conditions; difficulties in implementing our cost reduction strategies; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; competition and technological changes in our industries; difficulties in new product development; difficulties in identifying suitable acquisition candidates, consummating a transaction on terms which we consider acceptable, and integration and performance of acquired businesses, including with respect to the pending Capella acquisition; uncertainty related to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and other factors affecting our operations that are set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual reports on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
