MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- May 6, 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 ended March 29, 2014.

Revenues for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014 were $602.4 million, compared to $554.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2013.  The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014 were $25.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $28.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2013.

Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014 include restructuring and severance costs of $6.4 million.  Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2013 include one-time tax benefits due to the retroactive enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, signed into law on January 2, 2013. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which exclude these items, were $0.20 and $0.18 for the fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively.

Commenting on the results for the first quarter 2014, Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The first quarter represented a promising start to 2014 for Vishay. We experienced continued economic improvement in almost all market segments and a positive outlook across the board. Point of sale, the sales of Vishay products by its distributors to end customers, increased 6% quarter over quarter while inventory turns of Vishay products at its distributors increased to 3.6. Due to the higher backlog we increased internal inventories by $19 million quarter over quarter, which benefited results. Lead times remained overall well under control."

Dr. Gerald Paul continued, "By continuously doing our 'homework'—such as implementing our announced restructuring programs, penetrating the Asian industrial markets, further expanding manufacturing capacities for strategic product lines—we believe we are very well positioned to exploit our opportunities."

Commenting on the outlook for the second quarter 2014 Dr. Paul stated, "We guide for revenues of $620 to $660 million at margins in line with this level of volume and similar levels of fixed costs."

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 and adjusted earnings per share, 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 and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share 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 adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share are meaningful to investors because they provide insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company. Reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net earnings represent significant charges or credits that are important to understanding the Company's intrinsic operations. These reconciling items are indicated on the accompanying reconciliation schedule 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 expected revenues, margins, cash generation, internal growth and acquisition activity, 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; 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.
