MALVERN, Pa., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dr. Felix Zandman, Chairman
of the Board, and Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH), announced today that revenues for the
fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2005 were $566,077,000 compared to revenues of
$584,320,000 for the third quarter of 2004, a 3.1% decrease, and $582,388,000
for the second quarter of 2005, a 2.8% decrease. Net earnings for the quarter
ended October 1, 2005 were $19,956,000 or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with
net earnings for the quarter ended October 2, 2004 of $22,070,000 or $0.13 per
diluted share and net earnings for the quarter ended July 2, 2005 of $9,716,000
or $0.05 per diluted share.
Net earnings of $19,956,000 or $0.11 per diluted share for the third
quarter of 2005 were impacted by restructuring and severance costs of $3,924,000
and related asset write-downs of $4,682,000, partially offset by gains resulting
from adjustments to previously existing purchase commitments of $1,146,000.
These items and their tax-related consequences had a negative $0.03 effect on
earnings per share. Net earnings for the third quarter of 2004 were impacted by
restructuring and severance costs of $4,997,000 and by charges for purchased
in-process research and development of $1,500,000, partially offset by a
favorable settlement of a note receivable of $3,100,000. These items and their
tax-related consequences had a negative $0.01 effect on earnings per share for
the third quarter of 2004.
Revenues for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2005 were
$1,702,831,000, a 9.0% decrease as compared to revenues of $1,871,940,000 for
the comparable prior year period. Net earnings for the nine fiscal months ended
October 1, 2005 were $35,384,000 or $0.20 per diluted share compared to net
earnings of $99,154,000 or $0.55 per diluted share for the comparable prior year
period. Net earnings for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2005 were
impacted by restructuring and severance costs of $18,178,000, by related asset
write-downs of $4,813,000, by charges for purchased in-process research and
development of $9,201,000, by Siliconix transaction-related expenses of
$3,751,000, and by losses resulting from adjustments to previously existing
purchase commitments of $2,454,000, partially offset by a gain on sale of land
of $2,120,000. In addition, tax expense includes a $3,698,000 favorable benefit,
primarily due to a foreign tax ruling. These items and their tax-related
consequences had a negative $0.13 effect on earnings per share. Net earnings for
the nine fiscal months ended October 2, 2004 were impacted by restructuring and
severance costs of $7,057,000, and by charges for purchased in-process research
and development of $1,500,000, partially offset by a favorable settlement of a
note receivable of $3,100,000. These items and their tax-related consequences
had a negative $0.02 effect on earnings per share for the nine fiscal months
ended October 2, 2004.
Commenting on the results for the third quarter of 2005, Dr. Paul stated,
"We are looking back at a good third quarter. While sales were slightly lower
sequentially - in line with our expectation and guidance - we are reporting
higher margins. We achieved this through our program to reduce fixed costs by
$50 million in 2005, which contributed a $13 million reduction compared to last
year but also through our continuous reduction of variable costs, which
contributed $10 million."
Commenting on the outlook for the fourth quarter 2005, Dr. Paul continued,
"Based on a book-to-bill of 1.07 in the third quarter and a solid backlog, we
guide for sales in the range of $570 million to $590 million. We expect gross
margins to be higher than in the third quarter due to better volume and
continued cost reduction."
Commenting on the Company's Research and Development activities, Dr. Felix
Zandman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Technical and Business Development
Officer, stated, "We are starting to reap the benefits of our strong focus on
Research and Development across the Company. For example, our new series of
high-current Schottky diodes in Trench technology represents a technological
breakthrough: they have the ability to handle double the power in the same
package size compared to the industry standard. The recent introduction into the
market was very successful and we expect this product to ramp fast in 2006. An
example for a breakthrough technology launched two years ago is our MICRO FOOT
(R) chip scale technology. The two new product families of this technology,
MICRO FOOT MOSFETs and MICRO FOOT analog switches, are forecasted to sell this
year already at a rate of $25 million. Both product lines are designed in with
most high-end cell phones and demand is growing fast. We are in the process to
ramp capacity as fast as possible to meet the need of the market."

certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results 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,
particularly in the markets that we serve, the availability of appropriate

difficulties in integrating acquired companies, difficulties in implementing our
cost reduction strategies such as labor unrest or legal challenges to our
lay-off or termination plans, under-utilization of production facilities in
lower-labor-cost countries, operation of redundant facilities due to
difficulties in transferring production to lower-labor-cost countries,
difficulties in new product development, an inability to attract and retain
highly qualified personnel, and other factors affecting the Company's

Management believes that stating the impact on net earnings of items such

research and development, gains or losses on purchase commitments, and other
items is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to
intrinsic operating results of the Company.
