VPG Reports Fiscal 2016 Third Quarter and Nine Month Results

MALVERN, Pa. (November 8, 2016) -- Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG), a leading producer of precision sensors and systems, today announced its results for its fiscal 2016 third quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2016.

Highlights:

• Third quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.08.

• Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.21.*

• Cash generated from operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $6.3 million and free cash flow was $4.5 million.*

• Force Sensors segment achieved gross profit margins of 31.0% in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to 21.0% in the third quarter of 2015.

“Our adjusted earnings per diluted share performance was $0.21 for the third quarter of 2016 as compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.18 in the third quarter of 2015, in spite of softer sales this quarter compared to the third quarter of 2015,” said Ziv Shoshani, VPG chief executive officer. “We also generated cash from operations of $6.3 million, with free cash flow of $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, which validates the effectiveness of our restructuring and cost reduction programs.”

Net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 were $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to VPG stockholders for the third fiscal quarter of 2015 of ($1.9) million, or ($0.15) per diluted share. Net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the fiscal nine months ended October 1, 2016 were $3.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 were $2.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders of $2.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders for the fiscal nine months ended October 1, 2016 were $6.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders of $5.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted net earnings for the fiscal quarter and fiscal nine months ended October 1, 2016 exclude, among other costs, $1.1 million of costs associated with the Company’s evaluation of strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value. There are no assurances that the evaluation will result in any particular strategic alternative. The Company does not intend to comment on or disclose developments regarding the evaluation process unless it deems further disclosure is appropriate or required.

Segments

The Foil Technology Products segment revenues were $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2016, down 11.7% from $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, and down 5.9% from $25.4 million in the second quarter of 2016. Decreased year-over-year revenues were attributable to lower volume, partially offset by the additional volume from Pacific Instruments of $0.7 million and positive exchange rate impact of $0.3 million. The decrease in sequential revenues was also attributable to lower volumes. The gross profit margin for the segment was 36.2% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 42.0% in the third quarter of 2015 and 36.8% in the second quarter of 2016. The gross profit margin for the quarter compared to the comparable prior year period and the second quarter of 2016 decreased primarily due to lower volume.

The Force Sensors segment revenues were $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, up 4.5% from $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2015, and down 1.1% from $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase in year-over-year revenues was attributable to an increase in volume offset by negative exchange rate impact of $0.3 million. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, the sequential revenues were flat. The gross profit margin for the segment was 31.0% in the third quarter of 2016, compared to 21.0% in the third quarter of 2015 and 29.0% in the second quarter of 2016. The gross profit margin for the quarter increased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to the increase in volume and the realization of cost savings from our previously announced cost reduction programs. The sequential gross profit margin increase was due to favorable product mix.

The Weighing and Control Systems segment revenues were $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2016, down 1.0% from $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2015, and down 10.6% from $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Decreased year-over-year revenues were attributable to a negative exchange rate impact of $0.5 million and decrease in volumes, offset by the acquisition

2

of Stress-Tek. The sequential decrease in revenues was attributable to a decrease in volume coupled with negative exchange rate impact of $0.4 million. The gross profit margin for the segment was 44.9% in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 45.4% in the third quarter of 2015 and 44.7% in the second quarter of 2016 (45.6% excluding the Stress-Tek acquisition purchase accounting adjustment of $0.1 million). Excluding foreign currency, the gross profit margin for the quarter was flat compared to the prior year period. The sequential gross profit margin decrease was due to the decrease in volume.

Outlook

“In light of global economic conditions and the continued strength of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies, we expect net revenues in the range of $55 million to $60 million for the fourth quarter of 2016,” concluded Mr. Shoshani. “We are updating our expectation for fiscal year 2016 adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.75, at constant exchange rates as of the third quarter of 2016.”

*Editor’s Note

We define adjusted net earnings as net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders before acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, strategic alternative evaluation costs, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and associated tax effects. Free cash flow is defined as the amount of cash generated from operations ($6.3 million for the third quarter of 2016), in excess of our capital expenditures ($1.8 million for the third quarter of 2016) and net of proceeds, if any, for the sale of assets (none in the third quarter of 2016). For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information, refer to the quarterly financial tables.
