Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 5, 2025, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("the Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.  

Item 2.06 – Material Impairments

In connection with its preparation of financial statements for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that an interim goodwill impairment test was required as of the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 for the MOSFETs reporting unit.  Prior to completing the interim assessment of goodwill for impairment, the Company performed a recoverability test of certain depreciable and amortizable long-lived assets within the MOSFETs reporting unit.

As a result of those assessments, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $66.5 million to write-off the goodwill of its MOSFETs reporting unit.  There was no impairment identified for the depreciable and amortizable long-lived assets tested for recoverability.  Further information about the impairment charge will be provided in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
