November 3, 2020 7:00 AM

MALVERN, Pa., Nov. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 and nine fiscal months ended October 3, 2020.

Revenues for the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020 were $640.2 million, compared to $581.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 4, 2020, and $628.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019. Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020 were $33.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $24.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended July 4, 2020, and $30.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019.

As summarized on the attached reconciliation schedule, all periods presented include items affecting comparability. Adjusted earnings per diluted share, which exclude these items net of tax and the unusual tax items, were $0.25, $0.18, and $0.26 for the fiscal quarters ended October 3, 2020, July 4, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively.

Commenting on results for the third quarter 2020, Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Following an historically unprecedented drop of sales to automotive customers in the second quarter, Vishay experienced a stronger than anticipated rebound of sales to automotive customers in the third quarter, as well as continued strength from Asian markets. Inventories of Vishay products at distribution were reduced by $18 million driven by high demand for consumer related products.”

Dr. Paul continued, “The expected recovery in the third quarter occurred more steeply than anticipated. Having reacted promptly by reducing fixed costs, Vishay is now ready to exploit the next upturn to the full extent. Our focus stays on profitability and cash generation while pursuing our long-term strategies as well as, especially during COVID-19, safeguarding the health and well-being of our employees.”

Commenting on the outlook Dr. Paul stated, “For the fourth quarter 2020 we guide for revenues in the range of $620 to $660 million at a gross margin of 23.9% plus/minus 70 basis points, assuming a EUR/USD exchange rate of 0.86.”

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; adjusted earnings per share; adjusted gross margin; adjusted operating margin; free cash; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"); adjusted EBITDA; and adjusted EBITDA margin; 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 or liquidity and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, free cash, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin 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 such measures are meaningful to investors because they provide insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company. Although the terms "free cash" and "EBITDA" are not defined in GAAP, the measures are derived using various line items measured in accordance with GAAP. Reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net earnings represent significant charges or credits that are important to understanding the Company's intrinsic operations. Reconciling items to calculate adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin and adjusted EBITDA represent those same items used in computing adjusted net earnings, as relevant. Furthermore, the presented calculation of adjusted EBITDA is substantially similar to, but not identical to, a measure used in the calculation of financial ratios required for covenant compliance under Vishay's revolving credit facility. These reconciling items are indicated on the accompanying reconciliation schedules 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 forecasted revenues, margins, inventories, product demand, anticipated areas of growth, market segment performance, and the performance of the economy in general, 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; manufacturing or supply chain interruptions or changes in customer demand because of COVID-19; delays or difficulties in implementing our cost reduction strategies; delays or difficulties in expanding our manufacturing capacities; an inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; uncertainty related to the effects of 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; changes in U.S. and foreign trade regulations and tariffs, and uncertainty regarding the same; changes in applicable domestic and foreign tax regulations, and uncertainty regarding the same; changes in applicable accounting standards 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.
