Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- - - --------------------------------
General
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (together with its
consolidated subsidiaries, "Vishay" or the "Company") is a leading
international manufacturer and supplier of passive electronic
components, particularly resistors and tantalum and film
capacitors. Resistors, the most common component in electronic
circuits, are used to adjust and regulate levels of voltage and
current. Capacitors perform energy storage, frequency control,
timing and filtering functions in almost all types of electronic
equipment. The Company's products are used in a broad variety of
electronic applications, including those in the computer,
telecommunications, military/aerospace, instrument, industrial,
automotive, office equipment and entertainment industries.
Through a series of acquisitions over the last eight
years, the Company has grown from a small manufacturer of precision
resistors and strain gages to one of the world's largest manufac-
turers and suppliers of a broad line of passive electronic compo-
nents. The Company's acquisition strategy has focused on
acquiring manufacturers of those types of quality products in which
the Company has strong marketing organizations and technical
expertise but who have encountered operating, financial or
management difficulties. In connection with each acquisition, the
Company has implemented programs to realize synergies between its
existing businesses and the acquired business. These programs have
focused on reducing selling, general and administrative expenses
and maximizing production efficiencies, including the integration
of redundant sales offices and administrative functions and the
transfer of some production operations to regions where the Company
can take advantage of lower labor costs and available tax and other
incentives.
The Company's first major acquisition was the purchase in
1985 of a 50% interest in Dale Electronics, Inc. ("Dale"), a United
States producer of precision and commercial resistors, magnetic
components and plasma displays. In 1987, the Company established
a major presence in Germany with the acquisition of Draloric
Electronic GmbH ("Draloric"), strengthening the Company's metal
film resistor and specialty resistor businesses. In 1988, the
Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in Dale as well as all
of the outstanding shares of Sfernice, S.A., a French manufacturer
of resistors, potentiometers and printed circuit boards. Subse-
quently, Vishay acquired several small United States inductor
manufacturers and one French inductor manufacturer. In 1992, the
Company acquired the worldwide tantalum capacitor and United States
thick film resistor network businesses of American Annuity Group,
Inc., formerly Sprague Technologies, Inc. ("STI"). In January
3
1993, Vishay exercised its option to purchase 81% of the
outstanding share capital of Roederstein Spezialfabriken fur
Bauelemente der Elektronik und Kondensatoren der Starkstromtechnik
GmbH ("Roederstein"). Vishay acquired its initial 19% interest in
Roederstein in February 1992. Roederstein's principal products
include film, aluminum electrolytic and tantalum capacitors as well
as resistors. It also manufactures single layer ceramic
capacitors, heavy current capacitors and triplers.
Most recently, on July 2, 1993, Vishay acquired the
assets of the tantalum capacitor business of Philips Electronics
North America Corporation, a subsidiary of Philips Electronics
N.V., for approximately $11 million.
The Company currently operates as five separate business
units: (i) Vishay Electronic Components, U.S., which is comprised
of Dale, a manufacturer and supplier of resistors, the Vishay
Resistive Systems Unit, which primarily manufactures high
performance foil resistors and thin film resistor networks, and
Sprague, which consists of the tantalum capacitor and thick film
resistor network manufacturing businesses acquired from STI; (ii)
Draloric/Roederstein, German-based manufacturers and suppliers of
resistors and capacitors in Europe; (iii) Sfernice, S.A., a
resistor producer in France; (iv) Measurements Group, Inc., which
produces resistive sensors and other stress measuring devices in
the United States; and (v) Vishay Components (UK) Ltd., a
manufacturer and supplier of the Company's products in the United
Kingdom.
Vishay was incorporated in Delaware in 1962 and maintains
its principal executive offices at 63 Lincoln Highway, Malvern,
Pennsylvania 19355-2120. The telephone number is (610) 644-1300.
Products
Vishay designs, manufactures and markets electronic
components that cover a wide range of products and technologies.
The products primarily consist of fixed resistors, tantalum and
film capacitors, and, to a lesser extent, inductors, specialty
ceramic capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, plasma displays
and thermistors.
Resistors are basic components used in all forms of
electronic circuitry to adjust and regulate levels of voltage and
current. They vary widely in precision and cost, and are
manufactured in numerous materials and forms. Resistive components
may be either fixed or variable, the distinction being whether the
resistance is adjustable (variable) or not (fixed). Resistors can
also be used as measuring devices, such as Vishay's resistive
sensors. Resistive sensors, or strain gages, are used in
electronic measurement and experimental stress analysis systems, as
4
well as in transducers, for measuring loads (scales), acceleration
and fluid pressure.
Fixed resistive components can be broadly categorized as
discrete components or networks. A discrete component is designed
to perform a single function and is incorporated by the customer in
the circuitry of a system which requires that particular function.
A network, on the other hand, is a microcircuit (consisting of a
number of resistors placed on a ceramic base), which is designed to
perform a number of standard functions. Vishay manufactures
discrete resistors and networks both of which are principally sold
in the precision or higher quality segments of the resistor market
(i.e., fixed precision wirewound, metal film and foil resistors and
network resistors).
The Company's resistive products primarily consist of
fixed resistors (foil and thin film resistors, wire-wound
resistors, metal film resistors, oxide film resistors, thermistors,
thick film resistor chips, networks (microcircuits) and resistive
sensors); variable resistors (trimmers and potentiometers);
magnetic components (inductors and transformers) and printed
circuit boards. Vishay produces resistors for virtually every
segment of the resistive product market, from resistors used in the
highest quality precision instruments for which the performance of
the resistors is the most important requirement, to resistors for
which price is the most important factor.
Capacitors perform energy storage, frequency control,
timing and filtering functions in most types of electronic equip-
ment. The more important applications for capacitors are (i)
electronic filtering for linear and switching power supplies, (ii)
decoupling and bypass of electronic signals or integrated circuits
and circuit boards, and (iii) frequency control, timing and
conditioning of electronic signals for a broad range of applica-
tions. The Company's capacitor products primarily consist of solid
tantalum chip capacitors, solid tantalum leaded capacitors,
wet/foil tantalum capacitors and film capacitors. The tantalum
capacitor is the smallest and most stable type of capacitor for its
range of capacitance.
Markets
The Company's products are sold primarily to other
manufacturers and, to a much lesser extent, to United States and
foreign government agencies. Its products are used in, among other
things, the circuitry of measuring instruments, industrial equip-
ment, automotive applications including engine controls and fuel
injection systems, process control systems, computer-related
products, telecommunications, military and aerospace applications,
medical instruments and scales.
5
Approximately 41% of the Company's net sales for the year
ended December 31, 1993 was attributable to sales to customers in
the United States while the remainder was attributable to sales
primarily in Europe. In the United States, products are marketed
primarily through independent manufacturers' representatives (who
are compensated solely on a commission basis), the Company's
own sales personnel and independent distributors. The
Company has regional sales personnel in several locations to
provide technical and sales support for independent manufacturers'
representatives throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada.
In addition, the Company uses independent distributors to resell
its products. Internationally, products are sold to customers in
Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Japan, Singapore,
South Korea and other European and Pacific Rim countries through
Company sales offices, independent manufacturers' representatives
and distributors.
The Company endeavors to have its products incorporated
into the design of electronic equipment at the research and proto-
type stages. Vishay employs its own staff of application and field
engineers who work with its customers, independent manufacturers'
representatives and distributors to solve technical problems and
develop products to meet specific needs.
One of the fastest growing markets for passive electronic
components is for surface mounted devices. These devices adhere to
the surface of a circuit board rather than being secured by leads
that pass through holes to the back side of the board. Surface
mounting provides certain advantages over through-hole mounting,
including the ability to place more components on a circuit board.
The Company believes it has taken advantage of the growth of the
surface mount market and is an industry leader in designing and
marketing surface mount devices. The Company offers a wide range
of these devices, including both thick and thin film resistor chips
and networks, capacitors, inductors, oscillators, transformers and
potentiometers, as well as a number of component packaging styles
to facilitate automated product assembly by its customers.
Sales of the Company's products to manufacturers in
defense-related industries have continued to decline over the past
year, primarily as a result of reduced governmental procurements of
defense-related products. The Company has qualified certain
products under various military specifications, approved and
monitored by the United States Defense Electronic Supply Center
("DESC"), and under certain European military specifications.
Classification levels have been established by DESC based upon the
rate of failure of products to meet specifications (the "Classifi-
cation Level"). In order to maintain the Classification Level of
a product, tests must be continuously performed, and the results of
these tests must be reported to DESC. If the product fails to meet
the requirements for the applicable Classification Level, the
product's classification may be reduced to a less stringent level.
In that event, the Company's product may not qualify for use as a
6
component in other products required to meet a more stringent
Classification Level, although the Company's product may still be
sold for use in other products requiring a less stringent classifi-
cation. After completion of additional retesting, however, the
product may again be classified at its original level. Sales of
the product may be adversely affected pending the completion of any
such additional retesting and the resumption of the original
Classification Level. Various United States manufacturing facili-
ties from time to time experience a product Classification Level
modification. During the time that such level is modified for any
specific product, net sales and earnings derived from such product
may be adversely affected.
The Company is undertaking to have the quality systems at
all of its major manufacturing facilities approved under the
established ISO 9000 international quality control standard. ISO
9000 is a comprehensive set of quality program standards developed
by the International Standards Organization. Several of the
Company's manufacturing operations have already received ISO 9000
approval and others are actively pursuing such approval.
Vishay's largest customers vary from year to year, and no
customer has long-term commitments to purchase products of the
Company. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's
sales for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Research and Development
The Company maintains separate research and development
staffs and promotes separate programs at a number of its production
facilities to develop new products and new applications of existing
products, and to improve product and manufacturing techniques.
This decentralized system encourages individual product development
and, from time to time, developments at one manufacturing facility
will have applications at another facility. Most of the Company's
products and manufacturing processes have been invented, designed
and developed by Company engineers and scientists. Company
research and development costs were approximately $7.1 million for
1993, $7.1 million for 1992 and $7.0 million for 1991. The Company
spends additional amounts for the development of machinery and
equipment for new processes and for cost reduction measures. See
"Competition".
Sources of Supplies
Although most materials incorporated in the Company's
products are available from a number of sources, certain materials
(particularly tantalum) are available only from a limited number of
suppliers. In order to protect itself from manufacturing
disruptions due to potential supply shortages, the Company
7
maintains a supply of certain critical materials, the nondelivery
of which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
Tantalum metal is the principal material used in the
manufacture of tantalum capacitor products. Tantalum is purchased
in powder form, primarily under annual contracts with domestic
suppliers, at prices that are subject to periodic adjustment. The
Company is a major consumer of the world's annual tantalum
production. Tantalum, and other required raw materials have
generally been available in sufficient quantities, but have been
subject to wide price variations. Disruptions in the supply of, or
substantial increases in the price of, tantalum metal could have a
materially adverse effect on the Company.
Inventory and Backlog
Although Vishay manufactures standardized products, a
substantial portion of its products are produced to meet specific
customer specifications. The Company does, however, maintain an
inventory of resistors and other components. Backlog of outstand-
ing orders for the Company's products was $198.4 million, $134.3
million and $104.5 million, at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively. The increase in backlog at December 31, 1993 and
1992, as compared with prior periods, is attributable to the
acquisitions of Roederstein and Sprague, respectively. The current
backlog is expected to be filled during the next 12 months. Most
of the orders in the Company's backlog may be cancelled by its
customers, in whole or in part, although sometimes subject to
penalty. To date, however, cancellations have not represented a
material portion of the backlog.
Competition
The Company faces strong competition in its various
product lines from both domestic and foreign manufacturers that
produce products using technologies similar to those of the
Company. Certain of the Company's products compete on the basis of
its marketing and distribution network, which provides a high level
of customer service, such as design assistance, order expediting
and prompt delivery. In addition, the Company's competitive
position depends on its product quality, know-how, proprietary
data, marketing and service capabilities, business reputation and
price.
A number of the Company's customers are contractors or
subcontractors on various United States and foreign government
contracts. Under certain United States Government contracts,
retroactive adjustments can be made to contract prices affecting
the profit margin on such contracts. The Company believes that its
profits are not excessive and, accordingly, no provision has been
made for any such adjustment.
8
In several areas the Company strengthens its market
position by conducting seminars and educational programs for
customers and for potential customers.
Although the Company has numerous United States and
foreign patents covering certain of its products and manufacturing
processes, and acquired various patents with the acquisition of the
STI tantalum capacitor and network lines, no particular patent is
considered material to the business of the Company.
Manufacturing Operations
The Company conducts manufacturing operations in three
principal geographic regions: the United States, Europe and
Israel. At December 31, 1993, approximately 40% of the Company's
identifiable assets were located in the United States,
approximately 50% were located in Europe, approximately 9% were
located in Israel and 1% in other regions. In the United States,
the Company's main manufacturing facilities are located in
Nebraska, South Dakota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Maine. In
Europe, the Company's main manufacturing facilities are located in
Selb and Landshut, Germany and Nice and Tours, France. In Israel,
manufacturing facilities are located in Holon and Dimona. The
Company also maintains manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico
and Toronto, Canada.
For the year ended December 31, 1993, sales of products
manufactured in Israel accounted for approximately 8% of the
Company's net sales. The Company conducts manufacturing operations
in Israel in order to take advantage of the relatively low wage
rates in Israel and several incentive programs instituted by the
Government of Israel, including certain tax abatements. These
programs have contributed substantially to the growth and
profitability of the Company. The Company may be materially and
adversely affected if these incentive programs were no longer
available to the Company or if hostilities were to occur in the
Middle East that materially interfere with the Company's operations
in Israel.
Due to a shift in manufacturing emphasis, resulting from
the growing market for surface mount devices, over-capacity at a
number of the Company's manufacturing facilities and the relocation
of some production to regions with lower labor costs, portions of
the Company's work force and certain facilities may not be fully
utilized in the future. As a result, the Company may incur
significant costs in connection with work force reductions and the
closing of additional manufacturing facilities.
9
Environment
The Company's manufacturing operations are subject to
various federal, state and local laws restricting discharge of
materials into the environment. The Company is not involved in any
pending or threatened proceedings which would require curtailment
of its operations at this time. However, the Company is involved
in various legal actions concerning state government enforcement
proceedings and various dump site clean-ups. These actions may
result in fines and/or clean-up expenses. The Company believes
that any fine and/or clean-up expense, if imposed, would not be
material. The Company continually expends funds to ensure that its
facilities comply with applicable environmental regulations. The
Company has nearly completed its undertaking to comply with new
environmental regulations, relating to the elimination of
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and ozone depleting substances (ODS), and
other anticipated compliances with the Clean Air Act amendments of
1990. The Company anticipates that it will undertake capital
expenditures of approximately $1,000,000 in fiscal 1994 for general
environmental enhancement programs.
Employees
As of December 31, 1993, the Company employed
approximately 14,200 full time employees of whom approximately
8,600 were located outside the United States. The Company hires
few employees on a part time basis. While many of the Company's
foreign employees are members of trade unions, none of the
Company's employees located in the United States are represented by
unions except for approximately 172 employees at the North Adams,
Massachusetts facility acquired from STI, who are represented by
three unions. The Company is currently negotiating the collective
bargaining agreements of such domestic employees with each of these
unions. The Company believes that its relationship with its
employees is excellent.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- - - ------- CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------------------------------
Introduction and Background
The Company's sales and net income have increased
significantly in the past several years primarily as a result of
its acquisitions. Following each acquisition, the Company
implemented programs to take advantage of distribution and
operating synergies among its businesses. This implementation is
reflected in an increase in the Company's sales and in the decline
in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
the Company's sales. Since mid-1990, sales of most of the
Company's products have been adversely affected by the worldwide
slowdown in the electronic components industry. In addition, sales
to defense-related industries have declined since the first quarter
of 1991. These trends are continuing.
Year ended December 31, 1993 compared to
Year ended December 31, 1992
Results of Operations
- - - ---------------------
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1993 increased
by $192,046,000 over the comparable period of the prior year. The
increase resulted from the acquisition of Roederstein, effective
January 1, 1993. Net sales of Roederstein were $212,124,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1993. Net sales, exclusive of
Roederstein, decreased by $20,078,000, compared to the same period
of the prior year. This decrease in net sales is attributable to
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies,
which resulted in a decrease in reported Vishay sales of
$15,671,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993, and recessionary
pressures in Europe.
Costs of products sold for the year ended December 31,
1993 were 77.5% of net sales as compared to 76.5% for the
comparable period of the prior year. The reason for this increase
is that the costs of products sold for Roederstein (prior to the
full implementation of synergistic cost reductions) are approx-
imately 80% of net sales, while Vishay's business, exclusive of
Roederstein, has been operating in the 76% to 78% range. In 1993,
grants of $3,424,000 received from the government of Israel, which
were utilized to offset start-up costs of new facilities, were
recognized as a reduction of costs of products sold.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year
ended December 31, 1993 were 13.9% of net sales as compared to
15.3% for the comparable period of the prior year. The current
year's lower rates reflect the effect of the acquisition of
16
Roederstein and the ongoing cost savings programs implemented with
the acquisition of certain businesses of STI during 1992.
Restructuring charges of $6,659,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993 consist primarily of severance costs related to
the Company's decision to downsize its European operations,
primarily in France, as a result of the European business climate.
Income from unusual items of $7,221,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993 represents proceeds received for business
interruption insurance claims principally related to operations in
Dimona, Israel.
Interest costs increased by $1,514,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993 as a result of increased debt incurred for the
acquisition of Roederstein.
Other income for the year ended December 31, 1993
decreased by $4,410,000 over the comparable period of the prior
year because other income for the year ended December 31, 1992
included consulting fees of $2,307,000 from Roederstein. These
fees to Vishay were for time and expenses of Vishay personnel
utilized by Roederstein in its attempt to restructure itself.
Also, other income for the year ended December 31, 1992 included
fees of approximately $3,325,000 from STI under one-year sales and
distribution agreements. Foreign currency losses for the year
ended December 31, 1993 were $1,382,000, as compared to foreign
currency losses of $1,594,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992.
The effective tax rate of 16.2% for the year ended
December 31, 1993 reflects the non-taxability of certain insurance
recoveries. The 1993 rate was also affected by increased
manufacturing in Israel, where the Company's average income tax
rate was approximately 4% in 1993. The effective tax rate for the
year ended December 31, 1993, exclusive of the effect of the non-
taxable insurance proceeds, was 18.6%. The effective tax rate for
the year ended December 31, 1992 was 19.8%.
Accounting Changes
- - - ------------------
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method
of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the
liability method required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes". The cumulative effect of adopting Statement 109
as of January 1, 1993 was to increase net income by $1,427,000.
Application of the new income tax rules also decreased pretax
earnings by $2,870,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 because
of increased depreciation expense as a result of Statement 109's
requirement to report assets acquired in prior business
combinations at their pretax amounts.
17
The Company also adopted FASB Statement No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions", effective January 1, 1993. The Company has elected to
recognize the transition obligation on a prospective basis over a
twenty-year period. In 1993, the new standard resulted in
additional annual net periodic postretirement benefit costs of
$1,200,000 before taxes, and $792,000 after taxes, or $0.04 per
share. Prior-year financial statements have not been restated to
apply the new standard.
Year ended December 31, 1992 compared to
Year ended December 31, 1991
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1992 increased
$221,943,000 over the comparable period of the prior year. The
increase was the result of the inclusion of the businesses acquired
from STI effective as of January 1, 1992. Net sales of the
acquired businesses were $230,492,000 for the year ended December
31, 1992. For the year ended December 31, 1992, net sales,
exclusive of the acquired businesses, decreased by $8,549,000
compared to the same period of the prior year when recessionary
pressures affecting sales were not as great.
The weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign
currencies resulted in an increase in reported Vishay sales of
$10,418,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992.
Costs of products sold for the year ended December 31,
1992 were 76.5% of net sales as compared to 71.9% for the
comparable period of the prior year. The reason for this increase
is that the costs of products sold for the newly purchased
businesses from STI (prior to any synergistic cost reductions) are
80% of net sales, while Vishay's resistor businesses traditionally
operate at levels of 70% to 75%.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year
ended December 31, 1992 were 15.3% of net sales compared to 17.2%
for the comparable period of the prior year. The 15.3% rate
reflects the effect of the businesses acquired from STI. The rate
applicable to the businesses acquired from STI (approximately 11%)
includes the effects of initial cost saving programs installed
subsequent to the acquisition. For the year ended December 31,
1992, selling, general and administrative expenses of the Vishay
resistor business (approximately 17%) were comparable to the levels
experienced in the prior year.
Interest costs increased by $3,903,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1992 as a result of the increased debt incurred for
the purchase of the businesses from STI.
Other income for the year ended December 31, 1992 includes
consulting fees of $2,307,000 from Roederstein. Other income for
the year ended December 31, 1992 also includes fees of approxi-
18
mately $3,325,000 from STI under one-year sales and distribution
agreements expiring February 14, 1993, which were entered into in
connection with the acquisition of the businesses from STI.
The effective tax rate was 19.8% for the year ended
December 31, 1992. The effective rate is comparable to the rate of
23.3% for 1991. The 1992 rate was in part affected by increased
manufacturing in Israel where the Company's average income tax rate
was 7% for 1992.
Year ended December 31, 1991 compared to
Year ended December 31, 1990
Net sales decreased by $3,313,000 or approximately 1% to
$442,283,000 for the year ended December 31, 1991 from $445,596,000
for the year ended December 31, 1990. Sales increased in the
United States by 2.7% as a result of acquisitions, which partially
offset the effect of the worldwide recession. Sales in Western
Europe declined 4.9% compared to the year ended December 31, 1990
as a result of the recession and the strengthening of the dollar
against foreign currencies. Price increases did not materially
affect sales.
Costs of products sold increased to $318,166,000 or 71.9%
of sales for the year ended December 31, 1991 from $312,925,000 or
70.2% of sales for the year ended December 31, 1990. The increase
in costs of products sold as a percentage of sales reflects
increased production costs of relatively flat sales in addition to
certain manufacturing inefficiencies during the latter part of
1991.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased
to $75,973,000 or 17.2% of sales for the year ended December 31,
1991 from $77,740,000 or 17.4% of sales for the year ended December
31, 1990 primarily because of the continuation of cost reduction
programs introduced during 1990.
Expenses of approximately $3,700,000 for layoff costs at
the Company's European subsidiaries were incurred during the latter
half of 1991. This correction to the work force was made to
strengthen the subsidiaries' ability to attain earnings goals and
to respond to the current recession.
Interest expense decreased by $4,219,000 to $15,207,000
for the year ended December 31, 1991 from $19,426,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1990 primarily as a result of payments made on
long-term debt and lower interest rates.
Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 1991 were
$289,000 compared to income of $2,344,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1990, primarily due to decreases in investment grants
from Israel and interest income. Investment grants and interest
19
income for the year ended December 31, 1991 were $106,000 and
$797,000, respectively, compared to $980,000 and $2,257,000,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1990.
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31,
1991 was 23.3% versus 31.5% for the year ended December 31, 1990.
The decrease in the effective tax rate resulted from a reduced tax
rate for certain Israeli operations and an increase in the propor-
tion of earnings taxable in Israel. The lower rate was primarily
due to tax advantages of doing business in Israel where the
Company's effective average tax rate was approximately 10% at that
time.
Financial Condition
Cash flows from operations were $50,114,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1993 compared to $54,357,000 for the prior year
and were used primarily to finance capital expenditures. Purchases
of property and equipment were $76,813,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1993 compared to $49,801,000 for the prior year
primarily due to additions of manufacturing equipment for surface
mount products and expansion of manufacturing facilities in Israel.
The Company's financial condition at December 31, 1993 is strong
with the Company's current ratio of 2.1 to 1. The Company's ratio
of long-term debt to stockholders' equity was .7 to 1 at December
31, 1993 as compared to .4 to 1 at December 31, 1992. The increase
in this ratio resulted from additional borrowings in connection
with the acquisition of Roederstein.
In connection with the Roederstein acquisition, Vishay
entered into a DM 104,316,000 term loan agreement with its lending
banks in January 1993. In addition, an Israeli subsidiary of
Vishay borrowed $20 million pursuant to an unsecured credit
agreement. The funds from the credit facilities were used in
connection with the Roederstein acquisition and the refinancing of
Roederstein's debt. Vishay and the Banks also amended certain
terms of the outstanding $170,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term
Loan Agreement dated as of January 10, 1992 among Vishay and the
Banks and the Amended and Restated DM 42,375,000 Revolving Credit
and DM 57,036,000 Term Loan Agreement dated as of January 10, 1992
among Vishay, Draloric and the lending banks in order to, among
other things, allow Vishay to draw upon its revolving credit
facilities to refinance a portion of Roederstein's debt.
See Note 6 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements elsewhere herein for additional information with respect
to Vishay's loan agreements, long-term debt and available short-
term credit lines.
Management believes that available sources of credit,
together with cash expected to be generated from operations, will
be sufficient to satisfy the Company's anticipated financing needs
20
for working capital and capital expenditures during the next twelve
months.
Inflation
Normally, inflation has not had a significant impact on
the Company's operations. The Company's products are not generally
sold on long-term contracts. Consequently, selling prices, to the
extent permitted by competition, can be adjusted to reflect cost
increases caused by inflation.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and
stockholders equity for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These
financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. at December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in
1993 the Company changed its methods of accounting for income
taxes (Note 5) and postretirement benefits other than pensions
(Note 10).

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1993
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. include
the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all
significant intercompany transactions, accounts, and profits.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in,
first-out method, or market.
Depreciation
Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method based upon the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation of capital lease assets is
included in total depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was $43,493,000,
$30,995,000, and $23,706,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and
1991, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over net assets of
businesses acquired, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
Accumulated amortization amounted to $10,945,000 and $7,679,000 at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers demand
deposits and all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Research and Development Expenses
The amount charged to expense aggregated $7,097,000, $7,149,000, and $6,967,000
for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. The
Company spends additional amounts for the development of machinery and
equipment for new processes and for cost reduction measures.
Grants
Grants received from governments by certain foreign subsidiaries are recognized
as income when conditions for receipt are met. In 1993, grants of $3,424,000
received from the government of Israel, which were utilized to offset startup
costs of new facilities, were recognized as a reduction of costs of products
sold.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive common equivalent shares (from the assumed conversion of convertible
subordinated debentures) outstanding during the period. In October 1992, the
convertible subordinated debentures were converted into 2,536,783 shares of
Common Stock. For the year ended December 31, 1992, where assumed conversion
of the debentures has a dilutive effect, net earnings used in the computations
are adjusted for interest expense, net of income taxes, on the convertible
subordinated debentures. Earnings per share amounts for all periods presented
reflect 5% stock dividends paid on June 11, 1993, June 16, 1992, and June 11,
1991. Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992
reflect the weighted effect of the issuance of 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock
on December 24, 1992.
Accounting Changes
In 1993, the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes (Note
5) and postretirement benefits other than pensions (Note 10).
Reclassifications
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
presentation.
2. Acquisitions
During January 1993, Vishay exercised its option to purchase the remaining 81%
of the outstanding share capital of Roederstein GmbH, a passive electronic
components manufacturer with headquarters in Germany for 4,050,000 Deutsche
Marks ("DM") ($2,502,000) pursuant to an option agreement dated February 18,
1992. Vishay had acquired its initial 19% interest in Roederstein on February
18, 1992 for DM 950,000 ($577,000). In connection with the acquisition, Vishay
refinanced all of Roederstein's existing bank debt of DM 160,381,000
($99,062,000). Funds to refinance Roederstein's debt were provided by a DM
104,316,000 term loan with a group of banks, $20,000,000 borrowed under an
unsecured credit agreement, and borrowings under an existing line of credit.
Effective January 1, 1992, the Company acquired the worldwide tantalum
capacitor and U.S. thick film resistor network businesses of Sprague
Technologies, Inc. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Vishay paid
$127,000,000 cash, transferred to Sprague real property with a fair value of
$4,771,000, and assumed certain liabilities relating to the businesses. Vishay
also entered into certain ancillary agreements with the seller, including
one-year sales and distribution agreements under which Vishay received fees of
$3,325,000 during 1992, which are included in other income. The purchase price
was funded primarily from a $125,000,000 term loan facility.
34
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2. Acquisitions (continued)
The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The operating results of Roederstein and Sprague have been
included in the Company's consolidated results of operations from January 1,
1993 and January 1, 1992, respectively. Excess of cost over the fair value of
net assets acquired (Roederstein--$45,210,000; Sprague--$19,534,000) is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years.
Had the Roederstein and Sprague acquisitions been made at the beginning of the
year prior to their acquisition, the Company's pro forma unaudited results
would have been (in thousands, except per share amounts):
Year ended December 31
1992 1991
-------------------------
Net sales $913,398 $679,183
Net earnings (loss) (22,992) 20,591
Earnings (loss) per share $(1.19) $1.24
The unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results
that would have been attained had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of
the periods presented or of results which may occur in the future. Pro forma
net earnings for 1992 reflect $31,860,000 of restructuring costs incurred
by Roederstein for work force reductions.
During 1992, Vishay provided Roederstein with management and sales support,
short-term working capital advances, and assistance in renegotiating
Roederstein's bank debt. Vishay also assisted Roederstein in developing a
cost-savings program involving reductions in the Roederstein work force,
including the closing of an unprofitable division. Vishay recognized
consulting fees, which are included in other income, from Roederstein of
$2,307,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992 for its assistance to
Roederstein. As of December 31, 1992, Vishay had investments in Roederstein of
$3,229,000, advances to Roederstein, included in other assets, of $16,918,000,
accounts receivable and other current receivables from Roederstein of
$5,166,000, and accounts payable to Roederstein of $1,158,000.
The Company made several minor acquisitions in 1993 and 1991, all of which were
accounted for under the purchase method. The results of operations of these
businesses have been included in the consolidated results of the Company from
the dates of acquisition.
3. Restructuring Expense and Unusual Items
Restructuring expenses of $6,659,000 for 1993 related to the downsizing of some
of the Company's European operations. Income from unusual items of $7,221,000
for 1993 represents insurance recoveries the Company has received for business
interruption insurance claims.
The Company incurred restructuring costs of $3,700,000 in 1991 relating
primarily to costs associated with layoffs in France.
35
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
4. Foreign Subsidiaries
The following amounts relating to foreign subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements (in thousands):
As of and for the year ended December 31
1993 1992 1991
----------------------------------------
Current assets $239,371 $141,334 $113,515
Current liabilities 135,003 81,532 50,288
Net property and equipment 258,279 127,740 93,708

(including intercompany accounts) 199,955 161,529 119,097
Sales to customers 429,578 258,226 200,475
Earnings after eliminating intercompany
earnings and expenses 23,620 12,490 7,333
5. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by FASB
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As permitted under the new
rules, prior years' financial statements have not been restated.
The cumulative effect of adopting Statement 109 as of January 1, 1993 was to
increase net earnings by $1,427,000, or $.07 per share. For the year ended
December 31, 1993, application of the new income tax rules decreased pretax
income by $2,870,000 because of increased depreciation expense as a result of
Statement 109's requirement to report assets acquired in prior business
combinations at their pretax amounts.
At December 31, 1993, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax
purposes of approximately $96,300,000 in Germany (no expiration date),
$3,100,000 in France (expire December 31, 1998), and $1,800,000 in Portugal
(expire December 31, 1997). Approximately $70,800,000 of the carryforward in
Germany, and the full $1,800,000 in Portugal, resulted from the Company's
acquisition of Roederstein. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation
allowance of $34,862,000 has been recognized to offset deferred tax assets
related to German net operating loss carryforwards. If tax benefits are
recognized in the future through reductions of the valuation allowance, such
amounts will reduce goodwill of acquired companies. The valuation allowance
decreased from January 1, 1993 by $6,584,000 primarily due to a decrease
in German tax rates which had the effect of reducing the deferred tax
asset for German net operating loss carryforwards.
36
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
5. Income Taxes (continued)
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components
of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 1993
are as follows (in thousands):
Deferred tax liabilities:
Tax over book depreciation $57,401
Other--net 2,685
---------
Total deferred tax liabilities 60,086
---------
Deferred tax assets:
Pension and other retiree obligations 20,179
Net operating loss carryforwards 38,773
Restructuring reserves 7,354
Other accruals and reserves 12,300
---------
Total deferred tax assets 78,606
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (34,862)

--------------------------------
$8,246 $7,511 $6,363
================================
For the year ended December 31, 1992, deferred income taxes resulted from
accelerated methods of depreciation used for tax purposes ($2,494,000) and
restructuring reserves ($2,012,000). These amounts were partially offset by
differences relating to inventory valuation methods ($900,000) and other items
($757,000). For the year ended December 31, 1991, deferred taxes resulted
principally from use of accelerated methods of depreciation for tax purposes.

actual income tax expense is as follows (in thousands):

7.69% at December 31, 1993), and an additional Deutsche Mark term loan
(interest 8.25% at December 31, 1993).
During March 1994, the Company's bank group agreed to amend the Revolving
Credit and Term Loan and Deutsche Mark Revolving Credit and Term Loan
agreements in effect at December 31, 1993. The terms of the five facilities,
as agreed in March 1994, are summarized below. The first facility is a
$90,000,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility which is available to the
Company on a revolving basis until December 31, 1996, at which time the Company
may elect a term out option, with quarterly payments due beginning March 31,
1997 through December 31, 2000. Interest is payable at prime or at other
interest rate options. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee equal
to 3/8% per annum on the average unused line. The second facility is a
$102,500,000 term loan, with interest payable at prime plus 1/8% or at other
interest rate options. Principal payments are due as follows: 1994 --
$5,000,000; 1995--$10,000,000; 1996--$10,000,000;

of the Company with three Deutsche Mark ("DM") facilities. The first DM
facility is a DM 40,000,000 ($23,035,000) revolving credit facility which is
available until December 31, 1996, at which time the Company may elect a term
out option, with quarterly payments due beginning March 31, 1997 through

Company is required to pay a commitment fee equal to 3/8% per annum on the
average unused line. The second DM facility is a DM 19,012,000 ($10,948,000)
term loan. Principal of DM 4,753,000 ($2,737,000) and interest at DM market
rates plus 1-1/8% is due quarterly with final payment on December 31, 1994.
The third DM facility is a DM 104,316,000 ($60,073,000) term loan.
Interest is based on DM market rates plus 1-11/16%. Principal
payments of DM 18,700,000, 34,100,000, 37,000,000, and 14,516,000 ($10,769,000,
$19,637,000, $21,307,000, and $8,360,000) are due on or before December 31,
1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively. Additional principal payments may be
required based on excess cash flow as defined in the agreement.
Under the loan agreements, the Company is restricted from paying cash dividends
and must comply with other covenants, including the maintenance of specific
ratios. The Company is in compliance with the restrictions and limitations
under the terms of loan agreements, as amended. All of the Company's U.S.
assets and the stock of certain foreign subsidiaries are pledged as collateral
under loan agreements.
Borrowings under a $20,000,000 unsecured credit agreement with First
International Bank of Israel are at LIBOR plus 1-1/8% (4.25% at December 31,

borrowings are at various interest rates ranging from 3.9% to 7.2%.
The industrial development revenue bonds are at various interest rates ranging
from 8% to 12% and mature at various dates from 1996 through 1999. The French
industrial bonds are payable in French francs and bear interest at rates
ranging from zero to 10% and require periodic payments through 2004.
Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt, as revised to reflect the
agreement reached with the Company's bank group in March 1994
and excluding payments which may be required based on excess cash flow, are as
follows: 1994--$30,536,000; 1995--$32,132,000; 1996--$41,729,000;
1997--$50,393,000; 1998--$48,305,000; thereafter--$94,440,000.
The Company has short-term credit lines with various banks aggregating
$64,667,000, of which $29,030,000 was unused at December 31, 1993.
Interest paid was $20,587,000, $16,496,000, and $12,775,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.

9. Employee Retirement Plans
Two U.S. subsidiaries of Vishay, Dale Electronics, Inc. and Sprague North
Adams, Inc., which was acquired effective January 1, 1992, maintain defined
benefit pension plans (the "Plans"). Substantially all full-time employees of
Dale and hourly employees of Sprague's North Adams facility are eligible to
participate. The benefits under the Dale Plan are based on the employees'
compensation during all years of participation. The benefits under the
Sprague Plan are based on number of years of credited service.
The Plans are tax qualified subject to the minimum funding requirements of
ERISA. Employees participating in the Dale Plan are required to contribute an
amount based on annual earnings. The Company's funding policy is to contribute
annually amounts that satisfy the funding standard account requirements of
ERISA. The assets of the Dale Plan are invested primarily in guaranteed
investment contracts issued by an insurance company and mutual funds.
The assets of the Sprague Plan are invested primarily in fixed income
securities and common stock.

The Company's U.S. subsidiary, Measurements Group, Inc., maintains a defined
contribution pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees.
Contributions are made based on participants' compensation. Costs for this
plan were $530,000, $512,000, and $485,000 for the years ended December 31,
1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. In addition, many of the Company's U.S.
employees are eligible to participate in 401(k) Savings Plans, some of which
provide for Company matching under various formulas. The Company's matching
expense for the plans was $1,996,000, $1,894,000, and $1,170,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
The Company provides pension and similar benefits to employees of certain
foreign subsidiaries consistent with local practices. German subsidiaries of
the Company (including Roederstein, which was acquired in January 1993) have
noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering management and
employees. Pension benefits are based on years of service. Net pension cost
for the German Plans included the following components (in thousands):

Discount rate 7.0% 6.0%
Rate of increase in compensation levels 3.0% 4.0%
10. Postretirement Medical Benefits
The Company pays limited health care premiums for certain eligible retired U.S.
employees. Prior to 1993, the cost of these benefits, which was not
significant, was charged to expense when the benefits were paid.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement
No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions." Under this new standard, the Company recognizes the cost of
postretirement benefits over the active service period of its employees. The
Company elected to recognize the transition obligation, which represents the
previously unrecognized prior service cost, on a prospective basis over a
twenty-year period. In 1993, the new standard resulted in additional annual
net periodic postretirement benefit cost of $1,200,000 before taxes and
$792,000 after taxes, or $0.04 per share. Prior-year financial statements have
not been restated to apply the new standard.
Net postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 1993 included
the following components (in thousands):
Service cost $ 351
Interest cost 713
Net amortization and deferral 424
-------
Net postretirement benefit cost $ 1,488
=======
The cost information does not include the effects of Plan amendments made at
the end of 1993, which are expected to reduce future costs. Cash payments
for these benefits were $288,000 for 1993. The Company continues to fund
postretirement medical benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis.
The status of the plan and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1993 were as follows (in thousands):
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:
Retirees $(2,234)
Actives eligible to retire (956)
Other actives (3,028)
------------
Total (6,218)
Unrecognized loss 955
Unrecognized transition obligation 4,063
------------
Accrued postretirement benefit liability $(1,200)
============
The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation reflects Plan amendments
made at the end of 1993 which capped employer contributions for each
participant at the 1993 dollar amounts. The discount rate used in the
calculation was 7.5%.

11. Leases
Total rental expense under operating leases was $7,528,000, $9,577,000, and
$4,435,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments for operating leases with initial or remaining
noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows: 1994--
$5,694,000; 1995--$4,226,000; 1996--$3,582,000; 1997--$2,947,000; 1998--
$2,602,000; thereafter--$7,492,000
12. Financial Instruments
Financial instruments with potential credit risk consist principally of
accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables
are limited due to the Company's large number of customers and their dispersion
across many countries and industries. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the
Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk. The amounts reported
in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents and for short-term and
long-term debt approximate fair value.

is total revenue less operating expenses. In computing operating profit,
general corporate expenses, interest expense, and income taxes were not
deducted.
