Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018 Filed March 14, 2019 File No. 001-34679 Dear Mr. Clancy: We have limited our review of your filing to the financial statements and related disclosures and have the following comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please respond to these comments within ten business days by providing the requested information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview, page 26 1. In the last paragraph of page 26, we note your narrative discussion of the non-GAAP measures of adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share. Please expand your discussion on why management believes each of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, including adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin. In this regard, you should explain what management considers to be "intrinsic operating results" and why excluding certain costs and adjustments to GAAP financial results is meaningful to an understanding of your business and also how an investor should understand these measures. Also where you present adjusted net earnings per diluted share, you should begin the reconciliation with the amount of GAAP net earnings per share. Please revise William Clancy FirstName LastNameWilliam Clancy Vishay Precision Group, Inc. Comapany23, 2019 December NameVishay Precision Group, Inc. Page 2 December 23, 2019 Page 2 FirstName LastName accordingly. Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources, page 42 2. Refer to your use of "free cash" and "net cash (debt)" on page 44. As free cash, or free cash flow, is typically calculated as cash flows from operating activities as presented in the statement of cash flows under GAAP, less capital expenditures, and your description includes an additional adjustment, please revise your computation accordingly or revise the title of this measure to be "adjusted free cash flow". Refer to Question 102.07 of the C&DIs on Non-GAAP Financial Measures, updated April 4, 2018. Also, please revise to ensure that your disclosure does not imply that free cash represents residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, to provide a more fulsome disclosure regarding your liquidity section, please revise to provide a discussion of the changes in cash flows provided by investing and financing activities for each year as presented in the statements of cash flows. Financial Statements Note 2. Revenues, page F-13 3. Please consider expanding your discussion to disclose if revenue from the majority of your contracts is recognized at a point in time, or if for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time, upon satisfaction of the performance obligation. We note disclosure on page F-9 that revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with your customer are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of your products. In this regard, discuss how and when transfer of control of your precision products and solutions (including those "designed-in" by your customers) occur. Refer to ASC 606-10-25-24 and 606-10-50-12(a). Also please tell us the nature of the types of post-shipment obligations that you have on contracts, whether these are considered separate performance obligations, and how you recognize the revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-29. Further, disclose the significant payments terms of your contracts, including if there is a significant financing component, or any variable consideration. Refer to ASC 606-10-50-12(b).
