MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYS: VSH) , one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive components, today announced its results for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended June 29, 2013.

Revenues for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2013 were $597.7 million, compared to $588.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012. The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2013 were $31.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $45.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2013 include an adjustment of $1.8 million related to performance-based stock compensation for certain former executives, following a determination that achievement of the three-year performance targets was no longer probable. These costs had been originally reported as a separate line item upon cessation of employment of these executives in 2011, and accordingly, this adjustment is also reported as a separate line item. Net earnings for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 include a pretax gain of $12.2 million on the sale of a vacated property in Belgium. These items are summarized on the attached reconciliation schedule. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share, which exclude these items, were $0.20 for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2013, compared to $0.24 for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Commenting on the results for the second quarter 2013, Dr. Gerald Paul, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In the second quarter the revenues of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. benefited from the general economic recovery. As forecasted, both manufacturing and operational fixed costs increased due to the end of the temporary cost savings measures. The fixed costs continue to be well under control and we expect them to stay at approximately the current level for the remainder of the year. In the second quarter operational results were impacted by a few adverse and temporary effects. The contributive margin suffered from start-up inefficiencies at a major foundry, valuation effects and unfavorable product mix shifts. For the third quarter we anticipate a return of the contributive margin to its traditional range."

Dr. Gerald Paul continued, "There is no change to our strategy to pursue our Growth Plan by expanding manufacturing capacities in strategic product lines, by increasing our R&D and design-in efforts, by expanding our sales presence in Asia, and by acquiring specialty businesses."

Commenting on the outlook for the third quarter 2013 Dr. Paul stated, "We guide for revenues of $605 to $645 million. Based on a return to Vishay's usual incremental performance, we also guide for improved gross and operating margins compared to the second quarter of 2013."

This press release includes certain financial measures which are not recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share, 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 and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share 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 adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per diluted share are meaningful to investors because they provide insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company. Reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net earnings represent significant charges or credits that are important to an understanding to the Company's intrinsic operations. These reconciling items are indicated on the accompanying reconciliation schedule 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 statements with respect to forecasted revenues, margins, cash generation, internal growth and acquisition activity, product lines, market share, and the general state of the Company, 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; difficulties in implementing our cost reduction strategies; 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; uncertainty related to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates; 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.
