Item 1.02 – Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

In 2010, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay" or "the Company") issued $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040 (the "Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040").  The Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040 were governed by an Indenture, dated as of November 9, 2010 (the "Indenture"), between Vishay and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee.

In a series of transactions in 2018 and 2019, Vishay repurchased most of the outstanding Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040 in open market repurchases or through individually negotiated agreements with holders.

On February 4, 2021, Vishay redeemed all of the remaining $300,000 principal amount of its Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040 pursuant to the Company’s option set forth in the Indenture, as further described in the Company Notice delivered to holders on January 5, 2021.

On February 5, 2021, Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, confirmed that Vishay has satisfied and discharged its obligations under the Indenture.

Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 9, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure

Computational Guidance on Earnings Per Share Estimates

The Company frequently receives questions from analysts and stockholders regarding its diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computation.  The information furnished in this Form 8-K provides additional information on the impact of key variables on the EPS computation, particularly as they relate to the first fiscal quarter of 2021.

Accounting principles require that EPS be computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding ("basic"), and also assuming the issuance of potentially issuable shares (such as those subject to equity awards and convertible debt) if those potentially issuable shares would reduce EPS ("diluted").

Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), on January 1, 2021, the number of shares includable in the calculation of diluted EPS in respect of convertible or exchangeable securities is based on the "If Converted Method" prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share ("FASB ASC Topic 260").  This method assumes the conversion or exchange of these securities for shares of common stock.  In determining if convertible or exchangeable securities are dilutive, the interest savings (net of tax) subsequent to an assumed conversion are added back to net earnings.  The shares related to a convertible or exchangeable security are included in diluted EPS only if EPS as otherwise calculated is greater than the interest savings, net of tax, divided by the shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of the instrument ("incremental earnings per share").  Accordingly, the calculation of diluted EPS for these instruments is dependent on the level of net earnings.  Each series of convertible or exchangeable securities is considered individually and in sequence, starting with the series having the lowest incremental earnings per share, to determine if its effect is dilutive or anti-dilutive.

Pursuant to the indenture governing Vishay's 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 and the amendments thereto incorporated in the Supplemental Indenture dated December 23, 2020, Vishay will cash-settle the principal amount of $1,000 per note and share-settle any excess amounts.  Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 260, the diluted earnings per share calculation will not add back to net earnings the interest savings (net of tax) subsequent to an assumed conversion and the number of shares of common stock will only increase to the extent that the average market price of Vishay common stock during the period exceeds the conversion price of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.  Accordingly, the calculation of diluted EPS for Vishay's 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 is dependent on the average market price of Vishay common stock during the period and not on the level of net earnings.

The number of shares related to equity awards included in diluted EPS is based on the "Treasury Stock Method" prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 260.  This method assumes a theoretical repurchase of shares using the unrecognized compensation expense and any other proceeds at a price equal to the issuer's average stock price during the related earnings period.   Accordingly, the number of shares includable in the calculation of diluted EPS in respect of equity awards is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases.

The following estimates of shares expected to be used in the calculation of diluted EPS consider the number of the Company's shares currently outstanding and the Company's convertible securities currently outstanding and their exercise and conversion features currently in effect.  The Company adjusts its calculation for the estimated effect of expected quarterly activity.  The estimates assume no share or convertible debt instrument repurchases during the first fiscal quarter of 2021.  Changes in these parameters or estimates could have a material impact on the calculation of diluted EPS.

The following estimates of shares expected to be used in the calculation of diluted EPS should be read in conjunction with the information on earnings per share in the Company's filings on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.  These estimates are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the shares used in the diluted EPS computation for any prior period.  The estimates below are not necessarily indicative of the shares to be used in the quarterly diluted EPS computation for any period subsequent to the first fiscal quarter of 2021.  The Company assumes no duty to revise these estimates as a result of changes in the parameters on which they are based or any changes in accounting principles.  Also, the presentation is not intended as a forecast of EPS values or share prices of the Company's common stock for any period.


For the first fiscal quarter of 2021:

The Company has approximately 145 million shares issued and outstanding, including shares of common stock and class B common stock.
The number of shares included in diluted EPS related to restricted stock units does not vary significantly and is generally less than 1 million incremental shares.
The Company's Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 are convertible at a conversion price of $31.36 per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to 31.8836 shares per $1,000 principal<br> amount.  There is $465.3 million principal amount of the notes outstanding. The number of shares of common stock that Vishay will include in its diluted earnings per share computation, assuming an average market price for Vishay common<br> stock in excess of the conversion price, will be determined in accordance with the following formula:
S = [$465,344,000 / $1000] * [(P - $31.36) * 31.8836] / P
where
S = the number of shares to be included in diluted EPS, and
P = the average market price of Vishay common stock for the quarter.
If the average market price is less than $31.36, no shares will be included in the diluted earnings per share computation.
The Company's Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040 were redeemed by the Company on February 4, 2021.  The Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040 will be included in the diluted<br> earnings per share computation for the period prior to redemption.  The inclusion of the Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040 will have an immaterial impact on the diluted earnings per share computation.

The following table summarizes the approximate number of shares to be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation assuming net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders based on average stock price (number of shares in millions):

Malvern, PA, February 9, 2021—Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH), one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive components, today announced its results for the year and fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $2,501.9 million, compared to $2,668.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.  Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $122.9 million, or $0.85 per diluted share compared to $163.9 million, or $1.13 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Revenues for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020 were $667.2 million, compared to $640.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020, and $609.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019.  Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020 were $37.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $33.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020, and $14.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 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 $0.28 and $0.92 for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, $0.25 for the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2020, and $0.13 and $1.26 for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Commenting on results for the year 2020, Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “The year 2020 has been for Vishay and its business partners overshadowed by the global pandemic. From temporary plant shutdowns in Asia and temporary shortages in the early part of the year, to drastic reactions by automotive customers in the second quarter to a steep and broad recovery of orders since October, Vishay was able to defend efficiencies while minimizing fixed costs and then to quickly ramp back up again. During 2020, Vishay generated free cash flow of $192 million.”

Dr. Paul continued, commenting on the results for the fourth quarter 2020, “Revenues in the fourth quarter have been strong but Vishay’s incremental performance was negatively impacted by a lower than usual contributive margin in the quarter mainly caused by higher freight costs and a weaker dollar versus most currencies. The revenue increase quarter over quarter was driven by higher sales to automotive customers and to distribution. At the same time, inventories of Vishay’s products at distribution were reduced by a further $24 million, increasing again the inventory turns in all regions.”

Commenting on the outlook Dr. Paul stated, “For the first quarter 2021, based on the current order intake and Vishay’s increased 13-week backlog, we guide for revenues in the range of $705 to $745 million at a gross margin of 25.0% plus/minus 60 basis points, assuming the same exchange rates versus the dollar as in the fourth quarter.”

A conference call to discuss Vishay’s fourth quarter and full year financial results is scheduled for Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. ET. The dial-in number for the conference call is 877 589-6174 (+1 706-643-1406, if calling from outside the United States) and the access code is 4219657.

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.
