NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (“Vishay” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair summary of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.  The results of operations for the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company reports interim financial information for 13-week periods beginning on a Sunday and ending on a Saturday, except for the first fiscal quarter, which always begins on January 1, and the fourth fiscal quarter, which always ends on December 31.  The four fiscal quarters in 2025 end on March 29, 2025, June 28, 2025, September 27, 2025, and December 31, 2025, respectively.  The four fiscal quarters in 2024 ended on March 30, 2024, June 29, 2024, September 28, 2024, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Note 4 – Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and foreign income taxes.  The effective tax rates for the periods ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 reflect the Company’s expected tax rate on reported income before income tax and tax adjustments. The Company operates in a global environment with significant operations in various jurisdictions outside the United States. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the Company’s earnings and the applicable tax rates in the various jurisdictions where the Company operates. 

In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued model rules for a new global minimum tax (“Pillar Two”). Various jurisdictions around the world have passed legislation to enact Pillar Two and certain Pillar Two rules are in effect for 2025. The United States has not adopted Pillar Two.  The Company does not anticipate a material increase in income tax expense for 2025 due to Pillar Two and the Company is continuing to monitor Pillar Two developments and the potential future impact on its operations and income tax expense.

During the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased $963 on a net basis, primarily due to the settlement of tax audits, partially offset by accruals for the current period.

*As the Company has the intent and ability to refinance its convertible senior notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes") upon maturity using its revolving credit facility, the 2025 Notes remain classified as long-term liabilities.
**The 2025 Notes became convertible on December 15, 2024 and will remain convertible until maturity.  Accordingly, 130% of the conversion price of the 2025 Notes is not applicable.

Deferred financing costs are recognized as non-cash interest expense.  Non-cash interest expense was $1,223 and $1,213 for the fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively.

Note 6 – Stockholders' Equity

In 2022, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy that will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy.  The Stockholder Return Policy calls for the Company to return a prescribed amount of cash flows on an annual basis. The Company intends to return such amounts directly, in the form of dividends, or indirectly, in the form of stock repurchases.

If the average market price of Vishay common stock is less than the effective conversion prices of the convertible senior notes due 2025 and due 2030, respectively, no shares are included in the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation for the convertible senior notes due 2025 and due 2030.  Upon Vishay exercising its existing right to legally amend the indenture governing the convertible senior notes due 2025, Vishay will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying $1 cash per $1 principal amount of converted notes and settle any additional amounts due in common stock.  Pursuant to the indenture governing the convertible senior notes due 2030, Vishay will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying $1 cash per $1 principal amount of converted notes and settle any additional amounts due in cash and/or common stock. 

In connection with the issuance of the convertible senior notes due 2030, the Company entered into capped call transactions, which were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  The capped calls are intended to reduce the potential dilution to the Company's common stock in the event that at the time of conversion of the convertible senior notes due 2030 the Company's common stock price exceeds the conversion price of the convertible senior notes due 2030.

There have been no changes in the classification of any financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy in the periods presented.

The Company maintains non-qualified trusts, referred to as “rabbi” trusts, to fund payments under deferred compensation and non-qualified pension plans. Rabbi trust assets consist primarily of marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale and company-owned life insurance assets. The marketable securities held in the rabbi trusts are valued using quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The company-owned life insurance assets are valued in consultation with the Company’s insurance brokers using the value of underlying assets of the insurance contracts.  The fair value measurement of the marketable securities held in the rabbi trust is considered a Level 1 measurement and the measurement of the company-owned life insurance assets is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company holds investments in debt securities that are intended to fund a portion of its pension and other postretirement benefit obligations outside of the United States.  The investments are valued based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The fair value measurement of the investments is considered a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company may be required to make certain contingent consideration payments related to acquisitions.  The fair value of these contingent payments is determined by estimating the net present value of the expected cash flows based on the probability of expected payments.  The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration payments is considered a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the long-term debt, excluding the derivative liabilities and deferred financing costs, at March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is approximately $939,000 and $850,600, respectively, compared to its carrying value, excluding the deferred financing costs, of $1,009,911 and $927,911, respectively.  The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using a combination of quoted market prices for similar financing arrangements and expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)


At March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s short-term investments were comprised of time deposits with financial institutions that have maturities that exceed 90 days from the date of acquisition; however they all mature within one year from the respective balance sheet dates.  The Company's short-term investments are accounted for as held-to-maturity debt instruments, at amortized cost, which approximates their fair value. The investments are funded with excess cash not expected to be needed for operations prior to maturity; therefore, the Company believes it has the intent and ability to hold the short-term investments until maturity.  At each reporting date, the Company performs an evaluation to determine if any unrealized losses are other-than-temporary.  No other-than-temporary impairments have been recognized on these securities, and there are no unrecognized holding gains or losses for these securities during the periods presented.  There have been no transfers to or from the held-to-maturity classification.  All decreases in the account balance are due to returns of principal at the securities’ maturity dates.  Interest on the securities is recognized as interest income when earned.

At March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were comprised of demand deposits, time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased, and money market funds.  The Company estimates the fair value of its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments using Level 2 inputs.  Based on the current interest rates for similar investments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity, the fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and held-to-maturity short-term investments approximate the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The Company’s financial instruments also include accounts receivable and accounts payable.  The carrying amounts for these financial instruments reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets approximate their fair values.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is intended to provide an understanding of Vishay's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by focusing on changes in certain key measures from period to period. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in Item 1.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in Item 1A. "Risk Factors," filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2025.

Overview

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay," "we," "us," or "our") manufactures one of the world’s largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components that are essential to innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets.

We operate in six segments based on product functionality: MOSFETs, Diodes, Optoelectronic Components, Resistors, Inductors, and Capacitors.

Our goal is to enhance stockholder value by growing our business and improving earnings per share.  Since 1985, we have pursued a business strategy of growth through focused research and development and acquisitions.  We plan to continue to grow our business through intensified internal growth supplemented by opportunistic acquisitions, while maintaining a prudent capital structure.  We have developed go-to-market strategies and are investing in and expanding the key product lines for growth that we have identified.  In addition, we are strategically expanding our outsourced production of commodity products to subcontractors.  At the same time, we are enhancing our channel management while investing in internal resources by adding customer-facing engineers and filling gaps in technology and market coverage.  Taken together, each of these initiatives supports our Think Customer First organizational culture.

We are focused on realizing the full value of our broad product portfolio, becoming a customer-first company, and capitalizing on the mega trends of e-mobility, sustainability, and connectivity to drive top line growth, expand margins, and optimize stockholder returns.  We are using eight strategic levers to achieve these goals.  Despite the industry recovery being slower than expected, we remain committed to our long-term plan of increasing our capacity to assure our customers of reliable volume as they scale.  While we plan to advance our capacity expansion projects, we have and will continue to modulate spending in response to order flow and the timing of customer demand and qualification.  The decreased lead time for equipment and the increased subcontractor capacity are also variables that allow us to adjust our capacity spending.  For 2025, we plan to spend between $300 million to $350 million for capital expenditures, at least 70% of which will be invested in capacity expansion projects for high growth products lines, including our wafer fab expansions.

In addition to enhancing stockholder value through growing our business, in 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy, which calls for us to return at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, on an annual basis.  See further discussion in “Stockholder Return Policy” below.

Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be impacted by worldwide economic conditions.  Our revenues are dependent on end markets that are impacted by consumer and industrial demand, and our operating results can be adversely affected by reduced demand in those global markets.  In this volatile economic environment, we continue to closely monitor our fixed costs, capital expenditure plans, inventory, and capital resources to respond to changing conditions and to ensure we have the management, business processes, and resources to meet our future needs.  We believe we can react quickly and professionally to changes in demand to minimize manufacturing inefficiencies and excess inventory build in periods of decline and maximize opportunities in periods of growth.  The Company implemented restructuring programs in the third fiscal quarter of 2024 designed to optimize the Company's manufacturing footprint and streamline business decision making. We believe we have significant liquidity to withstand temporary disruptions in the economic environment. 

We utilize several financial metrics, including net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, segment operating margin, end-of-period backlog, book-to-bill ratio, inventory turnover, change in average selling prices, net cash and short-term investments (debt), and free cash generation to evaluate the performance and assess the future direction of our business.  See further discussion in “Financial Metrics” and “Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources” below.  The key financial metrics were mixed versus the prior fiscal quarter, but mostly lower than the prior year period.  Net revenues and margins decreased versus the prior year period primarily due to lower sales volume and decreased average selling prices, but orders increased.

Net revenues for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025 were $715.2 million, compared to $714.7 million and $746.3 million for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively.  The net loss attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025 was $(4.1) million, or $(0.03) per share, compared to a net loss of $(66.3) million, or $(0.49) per share for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024, and net earnings of $30.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024.

We define adjusted net earnings as net earnings (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP adjusted for various items that management believes are not indicative of the intrinsic operating performance of our business.  We define free cash as the cash flows generated from continuing operations less capital expenditures plus net proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.  The reconciliations below include certain financial measures which are not recognized in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash.  These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity.  Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash 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 earnings per share are meaningful because they provide insight with respect to our intrinsic operating results.  Management believes that free cash is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisitions, repay debt, and otherwise enhance stockholder value through stock repurchases or dividends.  We utilize the free cash metric in defining our Stockholder Return Policy.

For the past several quarters, orders were negatively impacted by a distributor inventory correction and channel inventory that overhung the market, but there are indicators that the prolonged period of excess inventory digestion is ending. The long-term outlook for our business remains strong, although our results are weaker than our prior year results.
23


Recent Developments

The newly announced U.S. tariffs will impact our future results.  The tariff rates and application are currently unsettled and any potential demand distraction is not able to be estimated at this time.  Historically, we have charged tariff adders to customers to offset increased costs.  The gross profit impact of the tariffs and tariff adders is approximately zero, but they negatively impact gross profit margin.

The announcement of the U.S. tariffs has resulted in significant market volatility.  A decrease in our common stock price could impact our goodwill impairment assessment if a stock price recovery does not take place.

Stockholder Return Policy

In 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy, which calls for us to return at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, on an annual basis.  We intend to return such amounts to stockholders directly, in the form of dividends, or indirectly, in the form of stock repurchases.

The following table summarizes activity pursuant to this policy (in thousands):

The structure of our Stockholder Return Policy enables us to allocate capital responsibly among our business, our lenders, and our stockholders. We will continue to invest in growth initiatives including key product line expansions, targeted R&D, and synergistic acquisitions. 

We have paid dividends each quarter since the first quarter of 2014, and the Stockholder Return Policy will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy.  Implementation of the Stockholder Return Policy is subject to future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors, market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors.  The policy sets forth our intention, but does not obligate us to acquire any shares of common stock or declare any dividends, and the policy may be terminated or suspended at any time at our discretion, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Financial Metrics

We utilize several financial metrics to evaluate the performance and assess the future direction of our business.  These key financial measures and metrics include net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, segment operating income, segment operating margin, end-of-period backlog, and the book-to-bill ratio.  We also monitor changes in inventory turnover and our or publicly available average selling prices (“ASP”).

Gross profit margin is computed as gross profit as a percentage of net revenues.  Gross profit is generally net revenues less costs of products sold, but also deducts certain other period costs, particularly losses on purchase commitments and inventory write-downs.  Losses on purchase commitments and inventory write-downs have the impact of reducing gross profit margin in the period of the charge, but result in improved gross profit margins in subsequent periods by reducing costs of products sold as inventory is used.  We also regularly evaluate gross profit by segment to assist in the analysis of consolidated gross profit.  Gross profit margin and gross profit margin by segment are clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflect our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.

Operating margin is computed as gross profit less operating expenses, expressed as a percentage of net revenues.  Operating margin is clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflects our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.

Our chief operating decision maker makes decisions, allocates resources, and evaluates business segment performance based on segment gross profit and segment operating income.  Only dedicated, direct selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of the segments are included in the calculation of segment operating income.  We do not allocate certain SG&A expenses that are managed at the regional or corporate global level to our segments.  Accordingly, segment operating income excludes these SG&A expenses that are not directly traceable to the segments.  Segment operating income would also exclude costs not routinely used in the management of the segments in periods when those items are present, such as restructuring and severance costs, goodwill impairment charges, and other items affecting comparability.  Segment operating income is clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflects our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.  Segment operating margin is segment operating income expressed as a percentage of net revenues. 

End-of-period backlog is one indicator of future revenues. We include in our backlog only open orders that we expect to ship in the next twelve months.  If demand falls below customers’ forecasts, or if customers do not control their inventory effectively, they may cancel or reschedule the shipments that are included in our backlog, in many instances without the payment of any penalty.  Therefore, the backlog is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods.

An important indicator of demand in our industry is the book-to-bill ratio, which is the ratio of the amount of product ordered during a period as compared with the product that we ship during that period. A book-to-bill ratio that is greater than one indicates that our backlog is building and that we are likely to see increasing revenues in future periods. Conversely, a book-to-bill ratio that is less than one is an indicator of declining demand and may foretell declining revenues.

We focus on our inventory turnover as a measure of how well we are managing our inventory.  We define inventory turnover for a financial reporting period as our costs of products sold for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the reporting period divided by our average inventory (computed using each fiscal quarter-end balance) for this same period.  A higher level of inventory turnover reflects more efficient use of our capital.

Pricing in our industry can be volatile.  Using our and publicly available data, we analyze trends and changes in average selling prices to evaluate likely future pricing.  The erosion of average selling prices of established products is typical for semiconductor products.  We attempt to offset this deterioration with ongoing cost reduction activities and new product introductions.  Our specialty passive components are more resistant to average selling price erosion.  All pricing is subject to governing market conditions and is independently set by us.
25


The quarter-to-quarter trends in these financial metrics can also be an important indicator of the likely direction of our business. The following table shows net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, end-of-period backlog, book-to-bill ratio, inventory turnover, and changes in ASP for our business as a whole during the five fiscal quarters beginning with the first fiscal quarter of 2024 through the first fiscal quarter of 2025 (dollars in thousands):

(1) Operating margin for the third fiscal quarter of 2024 includes $40.6 million of restructuring and severance expenses (see Note 2 to our consolidated condensed financial statements).  Operating margin for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024 includes $66.5 million of goodwill impairment charges.

See “Financial Metrics by Segment” below for net revenues, book-to-bill ratio, and gross profit margin broken out by segment.

Revenues increased slightly versus the prior fiscal quarter, but decreased versus the prior year quarter.  The increase versus the prior fiscal quarter is primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by lower average selling prices.  The decrease versus the prior year quarter is primarily due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volume.  The book-to-bill ratio and backlog increased versus the prior fiscal quarter. We continue to increase capacity for critical product lines.  Average selling prices decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and prior year quarter.


Gross profit margin decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year quarter primarily due to lower average selling prices and higher fixed costs.  Costs associated with the Newport wafer fab also contributed to the decrease versus the prior year quarter.


The book-to-bill ratio in the first fiscal quarter of 2025 increased to 1.08 versus 1.01 in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024.

There are indications that the channel inventory that has overhung the market is normalizing and the prolonged period of excess inventory digestion is ending.  The long-term prospects for our business remain favorable, and we continue to increase manufacturing capacities for critical product lines.  The decrease in net revenues versus the prior year quarter is primarily due to lower average selling prices and decreased sales volume.

Gross Profit Margins

Gross profit margins for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025 were 19.0%, versus 19.9% and 22.8% for the comparable prior fiscal quarter and prior year period, respectively.  Gross profit margin decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year quarter primarily due to lower average selling prices and higher fixed costs.  Costs associated with the Newport wafer fab also contributed to the decrease versus the prior year quarter.

Net revenues of the MOSFETs segment decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year quarter.  The decreases are primarily due to decreased sales to distribution and OEM customers, automotive and industrial end market customers, and customers in all regions.  An increase in sales to computing end market customers partially offset the decreases versus the prior fiscal quarter and prior year quarter.

Gross profit margin decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year quarter.  The decreases are primarily due to lower average selling prices and higher fixed costs.  Costs associated with the Newport wafer fab also contributed to the decrease versus the prior year quarter.

Segment operating margin decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year quarter.  The decreases are primarily due to gross profit decreases.

Average selling prices decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year quarter.

We continue to invest to expand mid- and long-term manufacturing capacity for strategic product lines.  We are building a 12-inch wafer fab in Itzehoe, Germany adjacent to our existing 8-inch wafer fab, which we expect will increase our in-house wafer capacity by approximately 70% by 2028 and allow us to balance our in-house and foundry wafer supply.

We acquired leading edge silicon and silicon carbide MOSFETs products with our acquisition of MaxPower in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022.  We plan to use the Newport wafer fabrication facility acquired in the first fiscal quarter of 2024 as the home for MaxPower to further develop and scale our SiC MOSFETs and diodes capabilities.  The acquisitions of MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc. and the Newport wafer fab, as well as the planned capacity expansions at Itzehoe and Newport, are long-term investments which are not expected to generate significant income or cash flows in the near-term, but should greatly enhance the long-term position of our MOSFETs business.  We remain committed to these long-term projects.

Interest expense for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025 increased by $1.1 million versus the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024 and increased by $2.3 million versus the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024.  The increases versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year quarter are due to higher outstanding balances on our revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes

For the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025, our effective tax rate was 3.2%, as compared to (12.3)% and 29.0% for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively.  We expect that our effective tax rate will be higher than the U.S. statutory rate, excluding unusual transactions, at higher levels of pre-tax income. 

During the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $1.0 million on a net basis, primarily due to the settlement of tax audits, partially offset by accruals for the current period.

We operate in a global environment with significant operations in various locations outside the United States. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting our earnings and the applicable tax rates in the various locations where we operate. Part of our historical strategy has been to achieve cost savings through the transfer and expansion of manufacturing operations to countries where we can take advantage of lower labor costs and available tax and other government-sponsored incentives. 

Additional information about income taxes is included in Note 4 to our consolidated condensed financial statements.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Our financial condition as of March 29, 2025 continued to be strong.  We have historically been a strong generator of operating cash flows.  The cash generated from operations is used to fund our capital expenditure plans, and cash in excess of our capital expenditure needs is available to fund our acquisition strategy, fund our Stockholder Return Policy, and to reduce debt levels.  

Management uses a non-GAAP measure, "free cash," to evaluate our ability to fund acquisitions, repay debt, and otherwise enhance stockholder value through stock repurchases or dividends.  See "Overview" above for "free cash" definition and reconciliation to GAAP. 

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $16.1 million for the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025, as compared to cash flows provided by operations of $80.2 million for the three fiscal months ended March 30, 2024.

In order to manage our working capital and operating cash needs, we monitor our cash conversion cycle.  The following table presents the components of our cash conversion cycle during the five fiscal quarters beginning with the first fiscal quarter of 2024 through the first fiscal quarter of 2025:

a)  DSO measures the average collection period of our receivables.  DSO is calculated by dividing the average accounts receivable by the average net revenue per day for the respective fiscal quarter.
b)  DIO measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of our product.  DIO is calculated by dividing the average inventory by average cost of goods sold per day for the respective fiscal quarter.
c)  DPO measures the average number of days our payables remain outstanding before payment.  DPO is calculated by dividing the average accounts payable by the average cost of goods sold per day for the respective fiscal quarter.

Cash paid for property and equipment for the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025 was $61.6 million, as compared to $53.1 million for the three fiscal months ended March 30, 2024.  To be well positioned to service our customers and to fully participate in growing markets, we have increased and expect to maintain a relatively high level of capital expenditures for expansion in the mid-term.  We remain committed to our long-term plan of increasing Vishay's capacity, to assure our customers of reliable volume as they scale.  While we plan to advance our capacity expansion projects, we have and will continue to modulate spending in response to order flow and the timing of customer demand and qualifications.  The decreased lead time for equipment and the increased subcontractor capacity are also variables that allow us to adjust our capacity spending.  For 2025, we plan to spend between $300 million to $350 million for capital expenditures, at least 70% of which will be invested in capacity expansion projects for high growth product lines, including our wafer fab expansions.

Free cash flow for the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025 decreased versus the three fiscal months ended March 30, 2024 primarily due to decreased net earnings.  We expect that free cash flow will be negatively impacted by the expected high level of capital expenditures for expansion in 2023 - 2025 after which we expect to generate increasingly higher levels of free cash.  There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to continue to generate cash flows from operations and free cash at our historical levels, or at all, going forward if the economic environment worsens. 

In 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy that will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy.  See “Stockholder Return Policy” above for additional information.

"Net cash and short-term investments (debt)" does not have a uniform definition and is not recognized in accordance with GAAP. This measure should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity.  However, management believes that an analysis of "net cash and short-term investments (debt)" assists investors in understanding aspects of our cash and debt management. The measure, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We invest a portion of our excess cash in highly liquid, high-quality instruments with maturities greater than 90 days, but less than 1 year, which we classify as short-term investments on our consolidated condensed balance sheets.  As these investments were funded using a portion of excess cash and represent a significant aspect of our cash management strategy, we include the investments in the calculation of net cash and short-term investments (debt).

The interest rates on our short-term investments vary by location.  Transactions related to these investments are classified as investing activities on our consolidated condensed statements of cash flows. 

Our business is geographically diverse and our cash is generated by our subsidiaries around the world.  Cash dividends to stockholders, share repurchases, and principal and interest payments on our debt instruments need to be paid by the U.S. parent company, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.  We continue to allocate capital responsibly between our business, our lenders, and our stockholders.  The capital allocated to our business is further allocated between our subsidiaries to meet local operating cash needs, to fund capital expenditures as part of our growth plan, and to meet corporate funding needs while also aiming to minimize our tax expense.

As of March 29, 2025, $12.7 million of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were held by our U.S. subsidiaries.  As of March 29, 2025, we are in a net borrowing position in the U.S. and we expect to continue to be at least throughout 2025, primarily due to Newport expansion funding requirements.  As of March 29, 2025, we have approximately $535.8 million of German and Israeli earnings that are deemed not indefinitely reinvested.  Based on the expected timing of future repatriations, we estimate that the tax liability to repatriate these unremitted earnings will be approximately $79.8 million, which has been accrued, but will only be paid upon repatriation of the unremitted earnings.  Repatriating these unremitted earnings earlier than currently planned may not be possible and would incur additional tax expense.  We also have amounts of unremitted foreign earnings held by subsidiaries in countries other than Israel and Germany, which continue to be reinvested indefinitely, that we have not accrued for the incremental foreign income taxes and withholding taxes payable to foreign jurisdictions that would be incurred to repatriate these amounts.  Certain of these subsidiaries are located in countries with restrictive regulations and high tax rates for repatriating cash.  Due to the uncertainties associated with the ability, timing, and method to repatriate these unremitted earnings and other complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation, determination of the amount of tax expense that would be incurred to repatriate the unremitted earnings is not practicable, but could be significant.  Our undrawn credit facility provides us with adequate operating liquidity in the United States.

Upon successful completion of our growth plan, we expect to generate increasingly higher levels of free cash that will be sufficient to meet our long-term financing needs related to normal operating requirements, regular dividend payments, share repurchases pursuant to our Stockholder Return Policy, while allowing us to manage our repatriation and financing activities to minimize tax and interest expense.  During the current period of intensified capital expenditures to achieve our growth plans, we are considering a combination of additional and alternative sources of financing and our cash on hand to fund a portion of the capital expenditures that would conserve cash for future acquisitions while enabling us to minimize tax expense.

We maintain a $750 million revolving credit agreement with a consortium of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., that matures on May 8, 2028.  The maximum amount available on the revolving credit facility is restricted by the financial covenants described below.  The credit facility also provides us the ability to request up to $300 million of incremental facilities, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which could take the form of additional revolving commitments, incremental “term loan A” or “term loan B” facilities, or incremental equivalent debt.

Pursuant to the credit facility, the financial maintenance covenants include (a) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.25 to 1; and (b) a net leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1 (and a pro forma ratio of 3.00 to 1 on the date of incurrence of additional debt).  Net leverage ratio reduces the measure of outstanding debt by up to $250 million of unrestricted cash.

The credit facility limits or restricts us from, among other things, incurring indebtedness, incurring liens on its respective assets, making investments and acquisitions (assuming our pro forma net leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00), making asset sales, and paying cash dividends and making other restricted payments (assuming our pro forma net leverage ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1.00).

We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the credit facility at March 29, 2025.  Our interest coverage ratio and net leverage ratio were 12.96 to 1 and 2.47 to 1, respectively.  We expect to continue to be in compliance with these covenants based on current projections.  Based on our current EBITDA and outstanding revolver balance, the usable capacity on the credit facility is approximately $248 million.


38

If we are not in compliance with all of the required financial covenants, the credit facility could be terminated by the lenders, and any amounts then outstanding pursuant to the credit facility could become immediately payable. Additionally, our convertible senior notes due 2030 have cross-default provisions that could accelerate repayment in the event the indebtedness under the credit facility is accelerated.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at variable reference rates plus an interest margin.  The applicable interest margin is based on our total leverage ratio.  We also pay a commitment fee, also based on our total leverage ratio, on undrawn amounts.  U.S. dollar borrowings under the credit facility are based on SOFR (including a customary spread adjustment).  Borrowings in foreign currencies bear interest at currency-specific reference rates plus an interest margin.  Based on our current total leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1, any new U.S. dollar borrowings will bear interest at SOFR plus 2.10% (including the applicable credit spread), and the undrawn commitment fee is 0.35% per annum.

The borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and general intangibles (but excluding real estate, intellectual property registered or licensed solely for use in, or arising solely under the laws of, any country other than the United States, assets located solely outside of the United States and deposit and securities accounts), of Vishay and certain significant subsidiaries located in the United States, and pledges of stock in certain subsidiaries; and are guaranteed by certain significant subsidiaries.

We had $136 million outstanding on our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2024 and $218 million outstanding at March 29, 2025.  We borrowed $123 million and repaid $41 million on the revolving credit facility during the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025.  The average outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility calculated at fiscal month-ends was $187 million and the highest amount outstanding at a fiscal month end was $218 million during the three fiscal months ended March 29, 2025.  We expect, at least initially, to fund certain future obligations required to be paid by the U.S. parent company by borrowing under our credit facility.  We also expect to continue to use the credit facility from time-to-time to meet certain short-term financing needs.  Additional acquisition activity, convertible debt repurchases, or conversion of our convertible debt instruments may require additional borrowing under our credit facility or may otherwise require us to incur additional debt.  Except for the maturity of $41.9 million of convertible senior notes due 2025, which will be funded by the revolving credit facility, no principal amounts of our debt are due until 2028.

The convertible senior notes due 2025 became convertible on December 15, 2024 and will remain convertible until maturity.  The convertible senior notes due 2030 are not currently convertible.  Pursuant to the indenture governing the convertible senior notes due 2030, we will cash-settle the principal amount of $1,000 per note and settle any additional amounts in cash or shares of our common stock.  Pursuant to the indenture governing the convertible senior notes due 2025 and the amendments thereto incorporated in the Supplemental Indenture dated December 23, 2020, we will cash-settle the principal amount of $1,000 per note and settle any additional amounts in shares of our common stock.  We intend to finance the principal amount of any converted notes using borrowings under our credit facility.  No conversions have occurred to date.  We have the intent and ability to finance the principal amount of the convertible senior notes due 2025 using borrowings under our credit facility upon maturity of the notes.

In 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy, which calls for us to return at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, on an annual basis.  We intend to return such amounts to stockholders directly, in the form of cash dividends, and/or indirectly, in the form of stock repurchases.  The policy sets forth our intention, but does not obligate us to acquire any shares of common stock or declare any dividends, and the policy may be terminated or suspended at any time at our direction, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
