Third quarter net revenues up 9.8% year-over-year and adjusted diluted earnings per share is $0.23. Cash generated from operations for the third quarter was $7.7 million and free cash flow was $5.5 million.*

MALVERN, Pa. (November 5, 2014) -- Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG), a leading producer of precision sensors and systems, based on its resistive foil technology, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 27, 2014.

Ziv Shoshani, VPG’s chief executive officer said, “I am pleased with our results this quarter as well as for the first nine months of the year. Organic growth continues to increase at a good pace, fueled by higher volumes. Top line growth also continues to drive increased diluted earnings per share. We also had a very good quarter for cash generated from operations and free cash flow.”

Mr. Shoshani added, “We are confident that our recently launched new products and applications should continue to contribute to our increased revenues and profitability and we also remain focused on our acquisition strategy as a key driver of long term value creation.”

Net revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $63.4 million, representing a 9.8% increase from $57.7 million of net revenues for the comparable prior year period. Net revenues for the nine months of 2014 were $189.6 million, representing a 6.5% increase from the $178.0 million of net revenues for the comparable prior year period. Comparing sequential results, net revenues for the third quarter of 2014 decreased by $1.8 million, or 2.7%, from $65.2 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the third quarter of 2014 were $3.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the third quarter of 2013 of $1.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the nine months of 2014 were $8.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the nine months of 2013 of $3.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the third quarter of 2014 were $3.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, versus adjusted net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders of $1.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the third quarter of 2014 include $0.2 million of KELK acquisition purchase accounting adjustments (which impacted costs of products sold), and restructuring costs, and related tax effects of $0.1 million, versus $0.9 million of KELK purchase accounting adjustments (which impacted costs of products sold) $0.1 million of restructuring costs, $0.1 million of restructuring costs, and the impact of a one-time tax benefit of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the nine months of 2014 were $8.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, versus adjusted net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders of $6.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the nine months of 2014 include $0.5 million of KELK acquisition purchase accounting adjustments (which impacted cost of goods sold) and restructuring costs, and the related tax effects of $0.1 million, versus approximately $4.4 million

of KELK acquisition purchase accounting adjustments (which impacted costs of products sold), $0.8 million of acquisition costs, $0.5 million of restructuring costs, and the related tax effects of $2.6 million which include the impact of a one-time tax benefit of $1.3 million.

Segments

The Foil Technology Products segment revenues were $27.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, up 21.8% from $22.4 million in the third quarter last year, and down 2.5% from $28.0 million in the second quarter of 2014. The gross margin for the segment has increased to 41.4% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 36.7% in the third quarter last year, and up from 40.2% in the second quarter of 2014. Increased year-over-year revenues are attributable primarily to higher volume. Lower sequential revenues are attributable mainly to lower volume. The gross margin improved from the comparable prior year period primarily due to increased volume and labor efficiency. The sequential gross margin increase was due to labor efficiencies, partially offset by lower volume.

The Force Sensors segment revenues of $17.5 million in the third quarter of 2014 were up 6.7% compared to $16.4 million in the third quarter last year, and were up 2.9% from $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2014. The gross margin for the segment was 22.5% in the third quarter of 2014 versus 17.6% in the third quarter of 2013 and 21.9% in the second quarter of 2014. Increased year-over-year revenues are attributable primarily to higher volume and by the positive effect of exchange rates. The increase in sequential revenues is attributable to higher volume. The gross margin for the quarter increased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to manufacturing efficiencies and higher volume. The sequential gross margin improved due to higher volume.

The Weighing and Control Systems segment revenues were $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, down 1.7% from $18.9 million in the third quarter last year, and down 7.7% from $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2014. Decreased year-over-year revenues are attributable primarily to lower volume, partially offset by the positive effect of exchange rates. The sequential decrease in revenues is attributable mainly to lower volume due to seasonality in the business. The gross margin for the segment was 45.9% in the third quarter of 2014 versus 43.0% in the third quarter of 2013 (47.8% excluding the KELK acquisition purchase accounting adjustments of $0.9 million) and 48.2% in the second quarter of 2014. The year-over-year decrease in adjusted gross margin is primarily due to lower volume and product mix. The sequential decrease in adjusted gross margin is due mainly to seasonally lower volume.

Outlook

Mr. Shoshani concluded, “In light of the current market demand levels, we expect net revenues in the range of $60 million to $65 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.”

* Note: Free cash flow is defined as the amount of cash generated from operations ($7.7 million for the third quarter of 2014), in excess of our capital expenditures ($2.2 million for the third quarter of 2014) and net of proceeds, if any, for the sale of assets (none in the third quarter of 2014).
