Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure

Computational Guidance on Earnings Per Share Estimates

The Company frequently receives questions from analysts and shareholders 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 quarter of 2008.

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 stock options, warrants, convertible notes, etc.) if those potentially issuable shares would reduce EPS ("diluted").

The number of shares related to options, warrants, and similar instruments included in diluted EPS is based on the "Treasury Stock Method" prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128. This method assumes a theoretical repurchase of shares using the proceeds of the respective stock option or warrant exercise 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 stock options, warrants and similar instruments is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases. This method is also utilized for net share settlement debt.

The number of shares includable in the calculation of diluted EPS in respect of conventional convertible or exchangeable securities is based on the "If Converted" method prescribed in SFAS No. 128. 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.

In June 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution pursuant to which the Company intends to waive its rights to settle the principal amount of its 3-5/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes, upon any conversion or repurchase of the notes, in shares of Vishay common stock.

Pursuant to the indenture governing the notes, Vishay had the right to pay the conversion value or purchase price for the notes in cash, Vishay common stock, or a combination of both.


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.

Vishay will now consider the notes to be "net share settlement debt." Accordingly, the notes will be included in the diluted earnings per share computation using the "treasury stock method" (similar to options and warrants) rather than the "if converted method" otherwise required for convertible debt. Under the "treasury stock method," Vishay will calculate 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 include that number in the total diluted shares figure for the period.

The following estimates of shares consider the number of the Company’s shares currently outstanding and the Company’s stock options, warrants and convertible or exchangeable securities currently outstanding and their exercise and conversion features currently in effect. Changes in these parameters could have a material impact on the calculation of diluted EPS.

The following estimates of shares 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 quarter of 2008. 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 quarter of 2008:

  • The Company has approximately 186 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 options, warrants, and similar instruments does not vary significantly and is generally less than 1 million incremental shares.
  • The Company’s Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 are convertible at a conversion price of $21.28 per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to 46.9925 shares per $1,000 principal amount.  There are 500,000 bonds 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 stock in excess of the conversion price, will be determined in accordance with the following formula:

S = 500,000 * [(P - $21.28) * 46.9925] / 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 $21.28, no shares will be included in the diluted earnings per share computation.

  • The Company’s Exchangeable unsecured notes due 2102 are dilutive at quarterly earnings levels in excess of approximately $28 million. The Exchangeable unsecured notes are exchangeable for approximately 6 million shares. Quarterly interest, net of tax, is approximately $0.9 million.

Vishay Reports Results for Year and Fourth Quarter 2007

  • Revenues for 2007 were an all-time record.
  • Net earnings from continuing operations of $0.74 per diluted share for year 2007 have been negatively affected by the after tax impact of certain items (enumerated below) of $0.21 per share for adjusted earnings from continuing operations per share of $0.95.
  • Net earnings from continuing operations of $0.06 per diluted share for fourth quarter of 2007 have been negatively affected by the after tax impact of certain items (enumerated below) of $0.13 per share for adjusted earnings from continuing operations per share of $0.19.
  • Cash generated from operations was $143 million for the fourth quarter 2007 and $354 million for the full year 2007.
  • Capital expenditures were $92 million for the fourth quarter 2007 and $200 million for the full year 2007.

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dr. Felix Zandman, 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 year ended December 31, 2007 were $2.833 billion, compared to net revenues of $2.581 billion for the year ended December 31, 2006. Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $140.4 million or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $139.7 million or $0.73 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2006.

As previously announced, Vishay intends to sell the automotive modules and subsystems business unit (“ASBU”) acquired on April 1, 2007 as part of the PCS business of International Rectifier. The operations of the ASBU have been classified as discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations in 2007 was $9.6 million, resulting in net earnings of $130.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share.

Income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 of $140.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, was impacted by pretax charges for restructuring and severance costs of $14.7 million, related asset write-downs of $3.9 million, and a contract termination charge of $18.9 million, partially offset by a gain on the sale of a building of $3.1 million. These items and their tax-related consequences, plus additional tax expense for changes in uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances totaling $8.3 million, had a negative $0.21 per share effect on income from continuing operations.

Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $139.7 million or $0.73 per diluted share were impacted by restructuring and severance costs of $40.2 million, related asset write-downs of $6.7 million, write-downs and write-offs of tantalum inventories totaling $9.6 million, losses resulting from adjustments to previously existing purchase commitments of $5.7 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 $0.26 effect on earnings per share.

Net revenues for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $729.6 million, as compared to revenues of $635.5 million, for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006. Income from continuing operations for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $11.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $26.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Income from continuing operations for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007 of $11.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, was impacted by pretax charges for restructuring and severance costs of $1.5 million, related asset write-downs of $1.2 million, and a contract termination charge of $18.9 million, partially offset by a gain on the sale of a building of $3.1 million. These items and their tax-related consequences, plus additional tax expense for changes in uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances totaling $5.9 million, had a negative $0.13 per share effect on income from continuing operations.

Net earnings of $26.3 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2006 were impacted by pre-tax charges for restructuring and severance costs of $12.1 million, related asset write-downs of $0.1 million, and losses resulting from adjustments to previously existing purchase commitments of $0.8 million. These items and their tax-related consequences had a negative $0.05 effect on earnings per share.

Commenting on the results for the fourth quarter and year 2007, Dr. Paul stated, “Vishay experienced in the fourth quarter 2007 a continuation of the friendly business environment worldwide. Revenues were on the projected level while gross margins were lower, mostly due to temporary shifts of product mix and some production inefficiencies.”

“For the year 2007, our adjusted EPS were in the same range as 2006, which was our second best year ever. In 2007, we generated cash from operations of $354 million while capital expenditures were $200 million. For 2008, we expect higher cash generation from operations and capital expenditures to be lower by about 15%.”

Regarding the outlook for the first quarter 2008, Dr. Paul continued, “Our guidance for revenues is in the range of $720 million to $740 million. Gross margins are projected to be up compared to the fourth quarter 2007.”

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 in niche businesses for 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 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, contract termination charges, 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.

(h) In June 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution pursuant to which the Company intends to waive its rights to settle the principal amount of the notes in shares of Vishay common stock. 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.

 
(i) The LYONs were redeemed in June 2006. Prior to redemption, they were convertible into 3,809 shares of common stock.
