Business Editors MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2007--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 net revenues for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2007 were $729.6 million, compared to $654.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006. Income from continuing operations for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2007 was $37.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with net earnings for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006 of $32.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. On April 1, 2007, Vishay acquired the Power Control Systems ("PCS") business of International Rectifier Corporation. The Company intends to sell the automotive modules and subsystems business unit ("ASBU") acquired as part of the PCS business. The operations of the ASBU have been classified as discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations for the third quarter was $1.9 million, resulting in net earnings of $35.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2007 of $37.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, was impacted by a pretax charge for restructuring and severance costs of $9.9 million. Additionally, reported income tax expense is net of benefits totaling $0.9 million for changes in uncertain tax positions and a change in enacted tax rates. These items, net, had a negative $0.05 per share effect on income from continuing operations. Net earnings for the third quarter of 2006 of $32.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, were impacted by pretax charges for restructuring and severance costs of $19.2 million, related asset write-downs of $2.7 million, inventory obsolescence charges for discontinued tantalum products of $1.4 million, losses resulting from adjustments to previously existing purchase commitments of $0.7 million, and charges totaling $2.9 million to settle past quality claims. These items and their tax-related consequences had a negative $0.10 effect on earnings per share. Net revenues for the nine fiscal months ended September 29, 2007 were $2,103.7 million, compared to $1,946.0 million for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2006. Income from continuing operations for the nine fiscal months ended September 29, 2007 was $129.1 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared with net earnings for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2006 of $113.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share. The loss from discontinued operations for nine fiscal months ended September 29, 2007 was $3.2 million, resulting in net earnings of $125.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share. Income from continuing operations for the nine fiscal months ended September 29, 2007 of $129.1 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, was impacted by pretax charges for restructuring and severance costs of $13.2 million and related asset write-downs of $2.7 million. These items and their tax-related consequences, plus additional tax expense for changes in uncertain tax positions net of benefits for a change in enacted tax rates totaling $2.5 million, had a negative $0.09 per share effect on income from continuing operations. Net earnings for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2006 of $113.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, were impacted by pretax charges for restructuring and severance costs of $28.1 million, related asset write-downs of $6.6 million, losses resulting from adjustments to previously existing purchase commitments of $4.8 million, write-downs and write-offs of tantalum inventories totaling $9.6 million, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million, an adjustment to increase the estimated cost of environmental remediation obligations associated with the 2001 General Semiconductor acquisition of $3.6 million, and charges totaling $2.9 million to settle past product quality issues. These items and their tax related consequences had a negative $0.21 effect on earnings per share. Commenting on the results for the third quarter 2007, Dr. Paul stated, "The friendly business environment Vishay experiences since the end of 2005 continued in the third quarter. The sales of distribution to the end customers increased in the third quarter compared to the previous quarter, especially driven by Asia. During the third quarter 2007 we reduced manufacturing inventories by $20 million. Our strong generation of cash from operations continued during the third quarter 2007 with $117 million." Dr. Paul continued, "The two discrete semiconductor product lines that we acquired on April 1, 2007 from International Rectifier achieved revenues of $59 million in third quarter 2007, approximately the projected yearly run-rate of $240 million. These businesses contributed $4.8 million to our operating income." Regarding the outlook for the fourth quarter 2007, Dr. Paul continued, "Our guidance for revenues is in the range of $710 million to $730 million. Gross margins are projected to be at similar to slightly improved levels." Commenting on the Company's acquisition activities, Dr. Felix Zandman, Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Technical and Business Development Officer, stated, "We continue to explore acquisition targets in all spaces we operate in, namely passive components, semiconductors and weighing systems. At the same time, we are actively pursuing the divestiture of the automotive systems business that was part of our acquisition of the Power Control Systems business from International Rectifier." Regarding the Company's R&D activities, Dr. Zandman noted, "Our R&D programs are on target. The share of new products released to the market continues to increase."

Statements contained herein that relate to the Company's future performance, including statements with respect to forecasted revenues and the anticipated future benefits of the Company's acquisition and research and development programs 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 in the markets that we serve; competition and technological changes in our industries; difficulties in implementing our cost reduction strategies; difficulties in new product development; our ability to identify suitable acquisition targets and to successfully negotiate and consummate their acquisition, difficulties in integrating acquired companies, including the recently acquired PCS business, and otherwise realizing the anticipated benefits of their operations; our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, particularly in respect of our acquired businesses; and other factors affecting our operations that are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 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. Also, we can provide no assurance as to the timing of the disposition of ASBU or whether we can dispose of ASBU on terms we consider attractive or at all. Management believes that stating the impact on net earnings of items such as restructuring and severance, asset write-downs, charges for in-process research and development, gains or losses on purchase commitments, special tax items 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. VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC.

In accordance with the resolution of its Board, in the future if notes are tendered for repurchase, Vishay will pay the repurchase price in cash, and if notes are submitted for conversion, Vishay will value the shares issuable upon conversion and will pay in cash an amount equal to the principal amount of the converted notes and will issue shares in respect of the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. Accordingly, for the second quarter of 2007 and future periods, the Company calculates the number of shares issuable under the terms of the notes based on the average market price of Vishay common stock during the period, and includes that number in the total diluted shares figure for the period. If the average market price is less than $21.28, no shares will be included in the diluted earnings per share computation, as the effect would be antidilutive. For periods prior to the second quarter of 2007, the notes were considered conventional convertible debt, and included in the earnings per share computation assuming they were converted into 23,496 shares of common stock if the effect of their inclusion was dilutive. (f) The LYONs were redeemed in June 2006. Prior to redemption, they were convertible into 3,809 shares of common stock. CONTACT: Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Richard N.
