MALVERN, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
Dr. Felix Zandman, Executive 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 September
26, 2009 were $525.3 million, compared to $739.1 million for the fiscal quarter
ended September 27, 2008. Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for
the fiscal quarter ended September 26, 2009 were $2.3 million, or $0.01 per
diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Vishay stockholders of
$301.3 million, or $1.62 per share for the fiscal quarter ended September 27,
2008. 

Revenues for the nine fiscal months ended September 26, 2009 were $1,435.1
million, compared to $2,246.8 million for the nine fiscal months ended September
27, 2008. The net loss attributable to Vishay stockholders for the nine fiscal
months ended September 26, 2009 was $85.7 million, or $0.46 per share, compared
to a net loss attributable to Vishay stockholders of $1,079.9 million, or $5.79
per share for the nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2008. 

Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended
September 26, 2009 were impacted by restructuring and severance costs of $3.5
million. This item and its related tax effect had a negative $0.02 per share
effect on the net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders. 

The net loss attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended
September 27, 2008 was impacted by restructuring and severance costs of $6.8
million, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $357.9
million, and costs associated with the terminated tender offer to acquire
International Rectifier of $4.0 million. These items and their related tax
effect had a negative $1.79 per share effect on the net earnings (loss)
attributable to Vishay stockholders. 

The net loss attributable to Vishay stockholders for the nine fiscal months
ended September 26, 2009 was impacted by pretax charges for restructuring and
severance costs of $34.5 million and for an amended executive compensation
agreement of $57.8 million, partially offset by a gain of $28.2 million on
settlement of matters related to the acquisition of International Rectifier`s
Power Control Systems business. These items and their related tax effects had a
negative $0.31 per share effect on the net loss attributable to Vishay
stockholders. 

The net loss attributable to Vishay stockholders for the nine fiscal months
ended September 27, 2008 was impacted by pretax charges for goodwill impairment
of $1,157.9 million, restructuring and severance costs of $34.0 million, related
asset write-downs of $4.2 million, and $9.9 million of tax expense associated
with the repatriation of cash from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. Including the
tax effects of the pretax charges, these items had a negative $6.09 per share
effect on earnings (loss) from continuing operations. The net loss for the nine
fiscal months ended September 27, 2008 also included a loss on discontinued
operations of $42.1 million, or $0.23 per share. 

As previously disclosed, the results of operations for the fiscal quarter and
nine fiscal months ended September 27, 2008 have been recast to include the
retrospective effects of FSP APB 14-1. The retrospective application of this FSP
decreased the previously reported loss from continuing operations for the
quarter by $11.5 million ($0.06 per share) and increased the previously reported
loss from continuing operations for the nine fiscal months ended September 27,
2008 by $0.8 million ($0.01 per share), respectively. 

Commenting on the results for the third quarter 2009, Dr. Paul stated, "Vishay
is experiencing a recovery across all geographies, all markets and all sales
channels. The book-to-bill for Vishay was 1.11 and for each of our businesses
was above one. We again reduced our inventories, by 5% compared to the previous
quarter. Our distributors reduced their inventories of our products by 10%; the
inventory turns at distribution were 3.7 for the third quarter. In the third
quarter cash generated from operations was $110 million and capital expenditures
were $8 million. We expect capital expenditures of below $55 million for the
full year 2009." 

Dr. Paul continued, "Since the economic crisis has begun, we have over the last
12 months reduced fixed costs by 20%, most of it permanently. In the same time
frame, we also have generated $255 million cash from operations while we had
capital expenditures of $79 million. This quarter we regained profitability. We
look ahead with great confidence: we are recognized as a market leader; our
total long term debt was $349 million, of which $105 million are due only in 93
years, and our cash was $508 million; we have lowered our break-even point by
$500 million. We are well positioned to participate in the upturn generating
better results than before the crisis. Due to our strong record of generating
cash we will be able to return to our strategy of synergetic acquisitions." 

Commenting on the outlook for the fourth quarter 2009, Dr. Paul concluded, "We
anticipate revenues of between $530 to $570 million and improved results." 

Commenting on the Company's business, Dr. Felix Zandman, Executive Chairman of
the Board and Chief Technical and Business Development Officer, stated, "In
light of challenging economic conditions we are proud of our strong cash
generation and operating improvements. These improvements will position Vishay`s
electronic components business to take advantage of the economic recovery." 

Dr. Zandman continued, "In 2010 Vishay intends to spin off its Precision Group
consisting of the following product lines: strain gages (Micromeasurement), load
cells, load cell based systems and ultra precision foil resistors. The Precision
Group is planned to be spun off into a publicly traded company as a tax free
dividend to its shareholders." 

As mentioned above, in a separate press release Vishay today announced its
intention to spin-off its measurements and foil resistor businesses into an
independent, publicly-traded company to be named Vishay Precision Group, Inc.

spin-off of the measurements business is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Statements contained herein that relate to the Company's future performance,
including statements with respect to forecasted revenues, cash generation,
capital expenditures, cost reduction, business recovery, acquisition activity,
and the general state of the Company, are forward-looking statements within the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Such statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many
of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those anticipated. Such statements are
based on current expectations only, and are subject to 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 the
current recessionary environment and the pace of economic recovery; difficulties
in implementing our cost reduction strategies; difficulties in identifying
suitable acquisition candidates; difficulties in new product development;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates; competition and technological
changes in our industries; and other factors affecting our operations that are
set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise. 

Management believes that stating the impact on net earnings of items such as
restructuring and severance, asset write-downs and other items not reflecting
on-going operating activities is meaningful to investors because it provides
insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company and,
management believes, is a common measure of performance in the industries in
which the Company competes. Investors should be aware, however, that this is a
non-GAAP measure of performance and should not be considered as a substitute for
the comparable GAAP measure.
