The information furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair summary of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto filed with Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Note 2: Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except earnings per share):
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Numerator: Net income $ 131,853 $ 20,181 $ 206,124 $ 20,999 ---------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share - weighted average shares 135,574 126,723 132,796 126,722 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock appreciation rights - 530 290 530 Employee stock options 2,141 588 2,042 418 Other 204 82 200 82 ---------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Dilutive potential common shares 2,345 1,200 2,532 1,030 Denominator for diluted earnings per share - adjusted weighted average shares 137,919 127,923 135,328 127,752 Basic earnings per share $ 0.97 $ 0.16 $ 1.55 $ 0.17 ================ ============= ============= ============= Diluted earnings per share $ 0.96 $ 0.16 $ 1.52 $ 0.16 ================ ============= ============= =============
All share and per share amounts for all periods presented reflect a three-for-two stock split paid on June 9, 2000. 8 In connection with the Company's acquisition of 65% of Lite-On Power Semiconductor Corporation ("LPSC") in July 1997, the Company issued stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to the former owners of LPSC. The SARs represented the right to receive, in stock, the increase in value on the equivalent of 3,200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, above $11.68 per share. On January 24, 2000, the Company exercised its right to call the SARs. Based on the call price of $26.43 per share and the average closing price of Vishay shares for the thirty days prior to January 24, 2000, the Company would have had to issue 2,294,000 shares of Vishay Common Stock to settle the SARs. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, 1,537,000 and 1,625,000 shares were included in the calculation of basic earnings per share, respectively, and 1,537,000 and 1,915,000 shares were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, respectively. See Note 6 with respect to the sale of the Company's interest in LPSC for consideration including transfer to the Company of the rights under the SARs. Note 3: Business Segment Information The Company designs, manufactures, and markets electronic components that cover a wide range of products and technologies. The Company has two reportable segments: Passive Electronic Components (Passives) and Active Electronic Components (Actives). The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is the computation of business segment operating income excluding amortization of intangibles. The corporate component of operating income represents corporate selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Note 5: Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 22.3% as compared to 38.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The unusually high effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was due to the following: (i) the non-tax deductibility of the pretax loss on the sale of Nicolitch, S.A. ($10,073,000); (ii) the tax expense recorded on the sale of Nicolitch, S.A. ($1,416,000); and (iii) the change in the tax rate in Germany ($1,939,000). Exclusive of these items, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1999 would have been 24.9%. Note 6: Lite-On Power Semiconductor Corporation On May 31, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its 65% interest in LPSC to the Lite-On Group for $41,000,000 in cash, and the transfer to the Company of the rights under the SARs issued to the Lite-On Group in July 1997 when the Company acquired its interest in LPSC. Under this agreement, the Company surrendered control of LPSC. LPSC was deconsolidated and accounted for by the Company under the equity method beginning May 31, 2000. The sale of the Company's interest in LPSC was completed on July 12, 2000 and resulted in a pretax gain of $8,991,000, which will be included in the Company's results for the third quarter of 2000. The Company used the cash proceeds to repay a portion of the debt outstanding under its long-term revolving credit facility during July 2000. Note 7: Sale of Subsidiary On March 26, 1999, the Company finalized the sale of Nicolitch, S.A., its French manufacturer of printed circuit boards, to Leonische Drahtwerke AG. In connection with the sale, the Company received proceeds of $9,118,000 and recorded a non-cash book loss of $11,489,000, including tax expense of $1,416,000. 10 Note 8: Common Stock Offering and Termination of Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company completed a public offering of its Common Stock on May 15, 2000, selling 5,595,000 shares at a price of $73.50 per share ($49.00 adjusted for three-for-two stock split). The total net proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses, were approximately $395,747,000. These proceeds were used to repay a portion of the debt outstanding under its long-term revolving credit facility. In connection with this repayment of debt, the Company terminated $125,000,000 notional amount of interest rate swap agreements and recognized a pretax gain of $6,375,000, which is reflected in other income (expense). Note 9: Accounting Pronouncement Pending Adoption In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." This statement defers the effective date of the implementation of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," dealing with the accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company continues its process of assessing the impact of SFAS No. 133 on its financial statements. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. Any changes to the Company's revenue recognition policy resulting from the implementation of SAB 101 would not involve any restatement of prior periods, but would be reported as a change in accounting principles in the quarter ending December 31, 2000. To the extent that SAB 101 is relevant to the recognition of revenue on the Company's future shipments, the Company would adopt the new accounting principle effective January 1, 2001. Accordingly, any shipments previously reported as revenue that do not meet SAB 101 revenue recognition guidance would be recorded as revenue in future periods. The Company is still in the process of assessing the impact of SAB 101 on its financial statements. Management believes that SAB 101 will not affect the underlying strength of its business operations as measured by the dollar value of its products shipped and cash flows from operations. 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Income statement captions as a percentage of sales, and the effective tax rates, were as follows:
Three Months ended Six Months ended June 30, June 30, 2000 1999 2000 1999 Costs of products sold 58.5 % 74.4 % 61.6 % 75.4 % Gross profit 41.5 25.6 38.4 24.6 Selling, general and administrative expenses 12.1 14.5 12.4 14.6 Operating income 28.9 10.3 25.5 9.2 Earnings before income taxes and minority interest 29.0 7.1 24.5 5.0 Net earnings 21.5 4.7 17.9 2.5 Effective tax rate 22.1 24.6 22.3 38.7
Net Sales Net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $187,448,000, or 44.1%, and $303,284,000, or 35.7%, from the comparable periods in 1999. Both the passive and active components businesses contributed to these increases. The passive components business net sales were $394,297,000 for the second quarter of 2000 as compared to $246,440,000 for the second quarter of 1999, a 60.0% increase. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, passive net sales were $719,807,000 as compared to $497,972,000 for the comparable period in 1999, a 44.5% increase. The active components business net sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $218,474,000 as compared to $178,883,000 for the second quarter of 1999, a 22.1% increase. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net sales were $431,858,000 as compared to $350,409,000 for the comparable period in 1999, a 23.2% increase. The sales increases reflected continued strong demand for the Company's products and increases in average selling prices. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies had the effect of decreasing reported net sales by $22,606,000 and $45,479,000 for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. Costs of Products Sold Costs of products sold for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2000 were 58.5% and 61.6% of net sales, respectively, as compared to 74.4% and 75.4% for the comparable prior year periods. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 12 was 41.5% and 38.4% as compared to 25.6% and 24.6% for the comparable prior year periods. Both the passive and active components businesses contributed to the improved gross margins. The passive components business gross margins for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 were 42.5% and 38.4%, respectively, as compared to 21.9% and 20.8% for the comparable prior year periods. Price and volume increases in the resistor, tantalum capacitor, and multi-layer ceramic chip capacitor product lines were primarily responsible for this improvement in gross margins. The active components business gross margins for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 were 39.6% and 38.3%, respectively, as compared to 30.6% and 30.4% for the comparable prior year periods. Strong demand, continued cost reductions, increased manufacturing efficiencies and price increases in some product lines all contributed to the improved gross margins. Israeli government grants, recorded as a reduction of costs of products sold, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 were $3,740,000 and $7,417,000, respectively, as compared to $3,544,000 and $7,008,000 for the comparable prior year periods. Future grants and other incentive programs offered to the Company by the Israeli government will likely depend on the Company's continuing to increase capital investment and the number of Company employees in Israel. Deferred income at June 30, 2000 relating to Israeli government grants was $46,595,000, as compared to $50,462,000 at December 31, 1999. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 were 12.1% and 12.4% of net sales, respectively, as compared to 14.5% and 14.6% of net sales for the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was the result of higher net sales in 2000 as compared to 1999 and company-wide cost reduction initiatives, particularly the reduction of headcount in high labor cost countries. Interest Expense Interest costs for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased by $5,210,000 and $5,575,000, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods. This decrease was a result of lower outstanding bank borrowings during both periods of 2000 as compared to the prior year periods. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $395,747,000 from a Common Stock offering consummated in May 2000, which were used to pay down long-term debt (see Note 8). Other Income Other income for the second quarter of 2000 increased by $2,987,000 as compared to the second quarter of 1999. This was attributable to increases in foreign exchange gains, interest income and income recognized under the equity method, partially offset by losses on the sale of fixed assets. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased by $1,580,000 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Increases in interest income and income recognized under the equity method, partially offset by losses on the sale of fixed assets contributed to this increase. 13 Gain on Termination of Interest Rate Swap Agreements Proceeds received from the May 2000 Common Stock offering (see Note 8) were used to pay down a portion of the debt outstanding under the Company's long-term revolving credit agreement. In connection with this repayment of debt, the Company terminated $125,000,000 notional amount of interest rate swap agreements and recognized a pretax gain of $6,375,000. Minority Interest Minority interest for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 increased by $4,079,000 and $7,782,000 respectively, as compared to the comparable prior year periods. This increase was due to the increase in net earnings of Siliconix, of which Vishay owns 80.4%. Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 22.3% as compared to 38.7% for the comparable prior year period. The higher tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 1999 primarily reflected the non-tax deductibility of the loss on the sale of Nicolitch, S.A. Tax expense on the sale of Nicolitch, S.A. was $1,416,000. Also, a tax rate change in Germany resulted in a decrease in German deferred tax assets which increased 1999 tax expense by $1,939,000. Exclusive of the effect of the sale of Nicolitch, S.A. and the tax rate change in Germany, the effective tax rate on earnings before minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 1999 would have been 24.9%. The continuing effect of low tax rates in Israel applicable to the Company, as compared to the statutory rate in the United States, resulted in increases in net earnings of $23,077,000 and $4,228,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $37,009,000 and $7,225,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The favorable Israeli tax rates are applied to specific government approved projects and are normally available for a period of ten or fifteen years. Financial Condition and Liquidity Cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $199,100,000 compared to $63,476,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in cash generated from operations was primarily attributable to increased earnings. Net purchases of property and equipment were $89,616,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $60,504,000 in the comparable prior year period, reflecting the Company's efforts toward increasing capacity. The Company paid down $471,155,000 on its revolving credit lines during the first half of 2000. These payments were partially funded by $395,747,000 of proceeds from the sale of Common Stock in the May 2000 Common Stock offering and $39,617,000 of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. On July 12, 2000, the Company completed the sale of its 65% interest in LPSC to the Lite-On Group for $41,000,000 in cash and the transfer to the Company of the rights under the SARs. The cash proceeds were used to further pay down the Company's long-term debt. The Company's financial condition at June 30, 2000 was strong, with a current ratio of 2.89 to 1. The Company's ratio of long-term debt, less current portion, to stockholders' equity was .11 to 1 at June 30, 2000 as compared to .77 to 1 at June 30, 1999 and .65 to 1 at December 31, 1999. 14 On August 9, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the officers of the Company to take the appropriate actions to enable the repurchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock from time to time in the open market, subject to bank approval. Inflation Normally, inflation does not have a significant impact on the Company's operations. The Company's products are not generally sold on long-term contracts. Consequently, selling prices, to the extent permitted by competition, can be adjusted to reflect cost increases caused by inflation. Safe Harbor Statement From time to time, information provided by the Company, including but not limited to statements in this report, or other statements made by or on behalf of the Company, may contain "forward-looking" information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains cautionary statements that identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Market Risk Disclosure The Company's cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company manages its exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company does not speculate in derivative instruments for profit or execute derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to any leveraged derivatives. The Company monitors its underlying market risk exposures on an ongoing basis and believes that it can modify or adapt its hedging strategies as needed. The Company is exposed to changes in U.S. dollar LIBOR interest rates on its floating rate revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2000, the outstanding balance under this facility was $175,000,000. On a selective basis, the Company from time to time enters into interest rate swap or cap agreements to reduce the potential negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on its outstanding variable rate debt. At June 30, 2000, a fixed rate swap was in place on the entire balance of the Company's revolving credit facility. The impact of interest rate instruments on the Company's results of operations was not significant. 15 VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
