Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 8, 2022, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("the Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 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 Company’s convertible debt repurchase activity over the past three years, together with the adoption of the new convertible debt standard and related actions, significantly reduces the variability of the shares to be utilized in the calculation of diluted EPS.

The expected shares to be utilized in the calculation of diluted EPS for the first fiscal quarter of 2022 is approximately 146 million.

This estimate 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.  This estimate is unaudited and not necessarily indicative of the shares used in the diluted EPS computation for any period subsequent to the first fiscal quarter of 2022.  The Company assumes no duty to revise this estimate as a result of significant changes versus the assumed average stock price for the quarter and other parameters on which it is based.

Item 8.01 – Other Events

On February 7, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has adopted a Stockholder Return Policy that will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy.  A copy of the press release announcing the Stockholder Return Policy is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report

Exhibit 99.1

Vishay Intertechnology Adopts Stockholder Return Policy

Structured to enhance returns to stockholders and to invest in growth initiatives
Calls for an annual return to stockholders at least 70% of free cash flow
--- ---
For 2022, Company expects to return at least $100 million to stockholders consisting of $58 million in dividend payments and at least $42 million<br> in share repurchases
--- ---

Malvern, PA – Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.  (NYSE: VSH), one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive components, today announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a Stockholder Return Policy that will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy.

The Stockholder Return Policy calls for Vishay to return at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, on an annual basis. Vishay intends to return such amounts directly, in the form of dividends, or indirectly, in the form of stock repurchases. For 2022, Vishay expects to return at least $100 million to stockholders consisting of approximately $58 million through its existing quarterly dividend program and at least $42 million through share repurchases.

Commenting on the Stockholder Return Policy, Marc Zandman, Executive Chairman of the Board, said, “The Stockholder Return Policy reflects the Board’s commitment to increasing the Company’s allocation of capital to stockholders and to enhancing their returns over the long term while demonstrating its confidence in the sustainability of Vishay’s strong cash flow generation and balance sheet.”

Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our primary focus will continue to be on investing in growth initiatives including key product line expansions, targeted R&D, and synergistic acquisitions.  The structure of our newly adopted Stockholder Return Policy enables us to allocate capital responsibly among our business, our lenders and our stockholders.”

Over the long-term, Vishay intends to fund the Stockholder Return Policy from the Company’s historically strong cash flows from operations.  The Company may also use its revolving credit facility from time to time, to finance these initiatives on a short-term basis.

Non-GAAP Measure

This Stockholder Return Policy and this press release use “free cash” as a measure. Free cash is a financial measure which is not recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and is considered a "non-GAAP financial measure" under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. 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 free cash do not have uniform definitions. These measures, as calculated by Vishay, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Vishay defines “free cash” as cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures, and plus proceeds from the sale of fixed assets, each as presented in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Although “free cash” is not defined in GAAP, the measure is derived using various line items measured in accordance with GAAP.  Calculations of free cash and reconciliation to comparable GAAP measures 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.


Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained herein that relate to the Company's future performance, including statements with respect to the Stockholder Return Policy and its objectives, forecasted revenues, operating cash flows, margins, inventories, product demand, anticipated areas of growth, market segment performance, capital expenditures, cash taxes, tax rates, cash repatriation to the United States, 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 or otherwise; 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.

Implementation of the Stockholder Return Policy is subject to future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors, market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors.  The policy sets forth the Company’s intention, but does not obligate the Company to acquire any shares of common stock or declare any dividends, and the policy may be terminated or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

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, 2021.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $3,240.5 million, compared to $2,501.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.  Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $298.0 million, or $2.05 per diluted share compared to $122.9 million, or $0.85 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Revenues for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 were $843.1 million, compared to $813.7 million for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2021, and $667.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020.  Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 were $36.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $96.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2021, and $37.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020.

As a direct result of a change in tax law in Israel, the Company made the determination during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 that substantially all unremitted foreign earnings in Israel are no longer permanently reinvested, and recorded additional tax expense of $53.3 million.

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 $0.62 and $2.32 for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, $0.63 for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2021, and $0.28 and $0.92 for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

Commenting on results for the year 2021, Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Despite ongoing pandemic related issues and accelerated inflation, the year 2021 was one of Vishay’s most successful years. We continued to expand in critical manufacturing capacities and we defined programs for higher growth in the future. Even with elevated capital expenditures Vishay generated free cash of $240 million in the year.”

Dr. Paul continued, commenting on the results for the fourth quarter 2021, “Revenues came in at the high end of our guidance but margins were negatively impacted by higher than anticipated costs for logistics as well as for materials and services. We expect to continue to raise prices and to return to historical levels of contribution margins in the course of 2022.”

Commenting on the outlook Dr. Paul stated, “For the first quarter 2022, we guide for revenues in the range of $820 to $860 million at a gross margin of 27.3% plus/minus 50 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 8, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. ET. The dial-in number for the conference call is 201-389-0921 (+1 877-407-0989, if calling from outside the United States) and the access code is 13725599.

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 forecasted revenues, margins, product pricing, product demand, anticipated areas of growth, market segment performance, capital expenditures, 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.
