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, 2023.  The results of operations for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 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 2024 end on March 30, 2024, June 29, 2024, September 28, 2024, and December 31, 2024, respectively.  The four fiscal quarters in 2023 ended on April 1, 2023, July 1, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023, respectively.  

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.

Note 2 – Acquisition Activities

As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to expand through targeted acquisitions of other manufacturers of electronic components.  These acquisition targets include businesses that have established positions in major markets, reputations for product quality and reliability, and product lines with which the Company has substantial marketing and technical expertise.  It also includes certain businesses that possess technologies which the Company expects to further develop and commercialize.

Newport wafer fab

On March 5, 2024, the Company acquired Nexperia’s wafer fabrication facility and operations located in Newport, South Wales, U.K. for $177,457 in cash, net of cash acquired.  The transaction included contingent payments of up to $15,000, held in escrow pending receipt of an export license.  The wafer fabrication facility is located on 28 acres and is an automotive-certified, 200mm semiconductor wafer fab with capacity to produce more than 30,000 wafers per month.  See Note 13 for further discussion on the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability.  

The transaction was funded by Vishay with cash on-hand.  To effect the transaction, Vishay acquired a 100% interest in the legal entity Neptune 6 Limited, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Nexperia Newport Limited, which owns and operates the Newport facility.  Neptune 6 Limited was renamed "Vishay UK Holdings Limited," and Nexperia Newport Limited was renamed "Vishay Newport Limited."

Based on an estimate of fair values, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition as follows:

Net working deficit (excluding cash and cash equivalents)
 
$
(339
)
Property and equipment
   
153,597
 
Customer relationships

Purchase price, net of cash acquired
    177,457
         
Goodwill
 
$
37,792
 

The acquired assets and liabilities are included in the MOSFETs segment.  The weighted average useful lives for customer relationships is 3 years.  The goodwill associated with this transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes.  The preliminary purchase price allocation is pending finalization of appraisals for property and equipment and intangible assets.  There can be no assurance that the estimated amounts recorded represent the final purchase price allocation.

12

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

The Company recognized $2,984 of acquisition costs classified as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses.  These costs were recognized in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2023 and first fiscal quarter of 2024.

The results and operations of this acquisition have been included in the MOSFETs segment since March 5, 2024.  The inclusion of this acquisition did not have material impact on the MOSFETs segment's or the Company's consolidated results.

Ametherm, Inc.

On June 5, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Ametherm, Inc., a Carson City, Nevada-based manufacturer of inrush current limiting solutions and power thermistors, for $31,478 in cash, net of cash acquired.  Based on a preliminary estimate of fair values, the Company allocated $17,000 of the purchase price to definite-lived intangible assets.  After allocating the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimation of their fair values at the date of acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $11,710 related to this acquisition.  The goodwill related to this acquisition is included in the Resistors reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing.  The results and operations of this acquisition have been included in the Resistors segment since June 5, 2024.

MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc.

In October 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc., ("MaxPower").  The Company paid cash of $50,000, net of cash acquired, at closing.  The transaction also included possible contingent payments of up to $57,500, which would be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones, upon favorable resolution of certain technology licensing matters with a third party, and upon the disposition of MaxPower's investment in an equity affiliate.  As of June 29, 2024, the contingent payments upon favorable resolution of certain technology licensing matters with a third party and upon the disposition of MaxPower's investment in an equity affiliate have been resolved.  Additionally, $2,500 has been paid upon the achievement of the first technology milestone.  The Company's estimate of the maximum possible contingent payments remaining is now $15,000.  See Note 13 for further discussion on the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability.

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 June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 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, or are in the process of passing, legislation to enact Pillar Two and certain Pillar Two rules take effect in 2024 and 2025 in those jurisdictions. The United States has not adopted Pillar Two.  The Company is continuing to monitor the impacts of Pillar Two on its operations and does not anticipate a material increase in income tax expense associated with jurisdictions that have implemented an income inclusion rule. The Company is continuing to monitor and assess the impacts of Pillar Two rules set to take effect in 2025, such as the under-taxed profits rule.

The Company repatriated $120,000 of accumulated earnings to the United States in the second fiscal quarter of 2024 and paid withholding taxes, in Israel, of $15,000.  The withholding tax expense for the repatriation was recorded in prior years.

During the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased $729 on a net basis, primarily due to statute expirations, partially offset by accruals for the current period.

Deferred financing costs are recognized as non-cash interest expense.  Non-cash interest expense was $1,213 and $2,426 for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024, respectively, and $820 and $1,638 for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended July 1, 2023, 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 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 (see Note 5), 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 payments to non-employee equity holders of MaxPower pursuant to the acquisition agreement, which will be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones.  The Company may be required to make certain contingent payments upon the receipt of an export license pursuant to the Newport wafer fab acquisition agreement.  The fair value of these contingent consideration 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 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 June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is approximately $809,400 and $836,200, respectively, compared to its carrying value, excluding the deferred financing costs, of $845,102.  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.

At June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 16, 2024.

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

We are focused on enhancing 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.  To drive growth and optimize stockholder value, we plan to capitalize on the mega trends of e-mobility, sustainability, and connectivity through initiatives.  We are developing go-to-market strategies and 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.  To increase our internal capacity, we had planned to invest approximately $435 million in 2024.  At the midpoint of the year, the industry recovery is slower than expected.  Accordingly, we have adjusted our timetable for investments for our new 12-inch wafer fab in Itzehoe, Germany beyond 2024, and now expect total capital expenditures for 2024 to be between $360 million and $390 million.  We remain committed to spending a total of $2.6 billion in total capital expenditures for the period 2023 - 2028.  We can adjust the timing of our capital expenditures and still fulfill our customer commitments because we now have intermediate capacity due to the qualification of a foundry partner and the acquisition of the Newport wafer fab. 

On March 5, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Nexperia’s wafer fabrication facility and operations located in Newport, South Wales, U.K. for approximately $177.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired.  The wafer fabrication facility is located on 28 acres and is an automotive-certified, 200mm semiconductor wafer fab with capacity to produce more than 30,000 wafers per month. We plan to position the facility as a manufacturing excellence center and use it as the home for MaxPower to further develop and scale our SiC MOSFETs and diodes capabilities.  We expect the facility to initially generate a net loss while we invest in new equipment and qualify new products. 

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.  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 decreased slightly in the second fiscal quarter of 2024 primarily due to the negative impacts of an on-going distributor inventory correction.  Net revenues and margins decreased versus the prior year periods primarily due to lower sales volume.

Net revenues for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024 were $741.2 million, compared to $746.3 million and $892.1 million for the fiscal quarters ended March 30, 2024 and July 1, 2023, respectively.  The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024 were $23.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $30.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024, and $95.0 million, or $0.68 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2023.

Net revenues for the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 were $1,487.5 million, compared to $1,763.2 million for the six fiscal months ended July 1, 2023.  The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 were $54.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $206.8 million, or $1.47 per diluted share for the six fiscal months ended July 1, 2023.

We define adjusted net earnings as net earnings 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.

Net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2024, March 30, 2024, and July 1, 2023 and for the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 include no items affecting comparability.

Our results have been negatively impacted by the distributor inventory correction that began in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022 and continued through the second fiscal quarter of 2024.  Our results for the second fiscal quarter of 2024 remain strong, although weaker than our prior fiscal quarter and prior year results.

Our free cash results were significantly impacted by the installment payments of the U.S. transition tax of $37.6 million and $27.7 million in the second fiscal quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $15.0 million of payments of withholding taxes on foreign earnings for the $120.0 million that was repatriated to the U.S. in the second fiscal quarter of 2024.

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):

We have determined that substantially all unremitted foreign earnings in Germany and Israel are no longer indefinitely reinvested.  These indefinite reinvestment assertions provide greater access to our worldwide cash balances to fund our growth plan and our Stockholder Return Policy, but also negatively impact our effective tax rate.

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 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, 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.

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 second fiscal quarter of 2023 through the second fiscal quarter of 2024 (dollars in thousands):

_________________________________________




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


Revenues decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and the second fiscal quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower sales volume and lower average selling prices.  The book-to-bill ratio increased slightly versus the prior fiscal quarter, but orders and backlog continued to be negatively impacted by the distributor inventory correction that continued in the second fiscal quarter of 2024.  We continue to increase manufacturing 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 decreased average selling prices and the impact of the Newport acquisition.  Lower sales volume and cost inflation also contributed to the decrease versus the prior year quarter.


The book-to-bill ratio in the second fiscal quarter of 2024 increased to 0.86 versus 0.82 in the first fiscal quarter of 2024.

Despite the distributor inventory correction that we are experiencing, 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 fiscal quarter and prior year quarter are primarily due to sales volume and average selling prices.

Gross Profit Margins

Gross profit margins for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024 were 22.0%, versus 22.8% and 28.9%, for the comparable prior quarter and prior year period, respectively.  Gross profit margins for the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 were 22.4%, versus 30.4% for the comparable prior year period.  The decreases versus the prior year periods are primarily due to lower sales volume and cost inflation.  Decreased average selling prices and the impact of the Newport acquisition contributed to the decreases versus the prior periods.

Net revenues of the MOSFETS segment increased slightly versus the prior fiscal quarter, but decreased significantly versus the prior year periods.  The increase versus the prior fiscal quarter is primarily due to the Newport wafer fab acquisition, partially offset by decreased sales to automotive end market customers.  The decrease versus the prior year quarter is primarily due decreased sales to distributor customers and customers in all regions.  The decrease versus the prior year-to-date period is due decreased sales to all end market customers and customers in all regions, partially offset by the Newport wafer fab acquisition.

Gross profit margin decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and prior year periods.  The decrease from the prior fiscal quarter is primarily due to costs associated with the Newport wafer fab.  The decreases versus the prior year periods are primarily due to lower sales volume, decreased average selling prices, and costs associated with the Newport wafer fab.

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

Average selling prices were flat versus the prior fiscal quarter, but decreased versus the prior year periods.

We continue to invest to expand mid- and long-term manufacturing capacity for strategic product lines.  We have begun 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.

Net revenues of the Inductors segment increased versus the prior fiscal quarter and prior year periods.  The increase versus the prior fiscal quarter was primarily due to increased sales to distribution and EMS customers, medical end market customers, and customers in the Americas region.  The increase versus the prior year quarter was primarily due to increased sales to distribution customers, military and aerospace and medical end market customers, and customers in the Americas region.  The increase versus the prior year-to-date period was primarily due to increased sales to distribution customers, automotive, military and aerospace, and medical end market customers, and customers in the Americas and Asia regions.

Gross profit margin was flat versus the prior fiscal quarter, but decreased versus the prior year periods.  The decreases versus the prior year periods are primarily due to decreased average selling prices, higher logistics, materials, and labor costs, and start-up costs of a new manufacturing facility.

Segment operating margin was flat versus the prior fiscal quarter, but decreased versus the prior year periods.  The decreases are primarily due to gross profit margin decreases.

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

We expect long-term growth in this segment, and are continuously expanding manufacturing capacity for certain product lines and evaluating acquisition opportunities, particularly of specialty businesses.

Gross profit margin decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter and prior year periods.  The decreases are due to lower sales volume, lower average selling prices, increased labor costs, and production inefficiencies.

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

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

The sequential decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily attributable to uneven attribution of stock-based compensation expense and lower bonus compensation.  SG&A expenses increased versus the prior year periods due to higher stock-based compensation expense and general cost inflation. 

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024 increased $0.2 million versus the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024 and increased $0.3 million versus the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2023.  Interest expense for the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 increased by $1.6 million versus the six fiscal months ended July 1, 2023.  The increase versus the prior fiscal quarter is due to higher average outstanding balances on the revolving credit facility.  The increases versus the prior year periods are due to the issuance of the convertible senior notes due 2030 in the third fiscal quarter of 2023.

Income Taxes

For the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024, our effective tax rate was 34.2%, as compared to 29.0% and 28.5% for the fiscal quarters ended March 30, 2024 and July 1, 2023, respectively.  For the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024, our effective tax rate was 31.3%, as compared to 28.5% for the six fiscal months ended July 1, 2023.  We expect that our effective tax rate will be higher than the U.S. statutory rate, excluding unusual transactions. 

During the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased $0.7 million on a net basis, primarily due to statute expirations, 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 June 29, 2024 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 $55.5 million for the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024, as compared to cash flows provided by operations of $237.1 million for the six fiscal months ended July 1, 2023.

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 second fiscal quarter of 2023 through the second fiscal quarter of 2024:

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 six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 was $115.6 million, as compared to $117.3 million for the six fiscal months ended July 1, 2023.  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.  To increase our internal capacity, we had planned to invest approximately $435 million in 2024.  At the midpoint of the year, the industry recovery is slower than expected.  Accordingly, we have adjusted our timetable for investments for our new 12-inch wafer fab in Itzehoe, Germany beyond 2024, and now expect total capital expenditures for 2024 to be between $360 million and $390 million.  We remain committed to spending a total of $2.6 billion in total capital expenditures for the period 2023 - 2028. 

Free cash flow for the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 decreased versus the six fiscal months ended July 1, 2023 primarily due to decreased net earnings and withholding taxes paid for the repatriation of cash to the U.S.  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.

The following table summarizes the components of net cash and short-term investments (debt) at June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

"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.

40

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 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.

During the second fiscal quarter of 2024, we repatriated $120 million of accumulated earnings to the United States and paid withholding taxes in Israel of $15 million.  As of June 29, 2024, $73.4 million of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were held by our U.S. subsidiaries.  Based on expected cash payments pursuant to our Stockholder Return Policy and funding of the Newport expansion, we expect to be in a net borrowing position in the U.S. before year-end 2024.  As of June 29, 2024, we have approximately $495 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 $74 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 substantially 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 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.

We had no amount outstanding on our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2023 and June 29, 2024.  We borrowed and repaid $52 million on the revolving credit facility during the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024.  No amounts were outstanding on our revolving credit facility at any fiscal month-end.  We expect to use the revolving credit facility from time-to-time to meet short-term financing needs. 

Pursuant to the credit facility, the financial maintenance covenants include (a) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 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 computation of these ratios is prescribed in Article VI of the Credit Agreement between Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed May 8, 2023.

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 June 29, 2024.  Our interest coverage ratio and net leverage ratio were 8.60 to 1 and 1.15 to 1, respectively.  We expect to continue to be in compliance with these covenants based on current projections.

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 2025 and due 2030 have cross-default provisions that could accelerate repayment in the event the indebtedness under the credit facility is accelerated.  The maturity date of the credit facility will accelerate if within ninety-one days prior to the maturity of our convertible senior notes due 2025, the outstanding principal amount of such notes exceeds a defined liquidity measure as set forth in the credit facility.  The repurchase of $370.2 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2025 in 2023 reduces the risk that the maturity date of the credit facility will accelerate. 

41

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 1.63 to 1, any new U.S. dollar borrowings will bear interest at SOFR plus 1.85% (including the applicable credit spread), and the undrawn commitment fee is 0.30% 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 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.  No principal payments on our debt are due before 2025.

The convertible senior notes due 2025 and 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

Item 3 of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024 describes certain of our legal proceedings.  Except as described below, there have been no material developments to the legal proceedings previously disclosed.

Environmental Matters

Vishay is involved in environmental remediation programs at various sites currently or formerly owned by Vishay and its subsidiaries both within and outside of the U.S., in addition to involvement as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at Superfund sites.  Certain obligations as a PRP have arisen in connection with business acquisitions. The remediation programs are on-going and the ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, and alternative cleanup methods.

Vishay GSI, Inc. (“VGSI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was a direct defendant in two separate, but related, litigation matters previously pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York: (1) Hicksville Water District v. United States Department of Energy, et al.; and (2) Hicksville Water District v. Alsy Manufacturing, Inc.  These cases contain claims for recovery of response costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), and allege that a predecessor’s manufacturing operations in Hicksville, New York (the “Site”), between 1960 and 1993, impacted groundwater beneath and downgradient of the Site.  The groundwater beneath and downgradient of the Site is part of the New Cassel/Hicksville Groundwater Contamination Site, which was added to the National Priorities List pursuant to CERCLA on September 15, 2011.

VGSI and the Hicksville Water District reached a comprehensive settlement of both cases brought by the Hicksville Water District that resolves all past and future claims, known and unknown.  Vishay admitted no liability and agreed to pay the Hicksville Water District $3 million.  The settlement was approved by the court and both cases were dismissed in late July 2024.

VGSI remains a defendant in one remaining case, 101 Frost Street Associates, L.P. v. United States Department of Energy et al., pending before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.  The remaining case contains claims for recovery of response costs under CERCLA, and alleges that a predecessor’s manufacturing operations in the Site, between 1960 and 1993, impacted groundwater beneath and downgradient of the Site.   VGSI is vigorously contesting plaintiff’s claims and will aggressively prosecute its affirmative claims.

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.

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, 2023.  The results of operations for the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024 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 2024 end on March 30, 2024, June 29, 2024, September 28, 2024, and December 31, 2024, respectively.  The four fiscal quarters in 2023 ended on April 1, 2023, July 1, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Acquisition Activities [Abstract]  
Acquisition and Divestiture Activities
Note 2 – Acquisition Activities

As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to expand through targeted acquisitions of other manufacturers of electronic components.  These acquisition targets include businesses that have established positions in major markets, reputations for product quality and reliability, and product lines with which the Company has substantial marketing and technical expertise.  It also includes certain businesses that possess technologies which the Company expects to further develop and commercialize.

Newport wafer fab

On March 5, 2024, the Company acquired Nexperia’s wafer fabrication facility and operations located in Newport, South Wales, U.K. for $177,457 in cash, net of cash acquired.  The transaction included contingent payments of up to $15,000, held in escrow pending receipt of an export license.  The wafer fabrication facility is located on 28 acres and is an automotive-certified, 200mm semiconductor wafer fab with capacity to produce more than 30,000 wafers per month.  See Note 13 for further discussion on the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability.  

The transaction was funded by Vishay with cash on-hand.  To effect the transaction, Vishay acquired a 100% interest in the legal entity Neptune 6 Limited, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Nexperia Newport Limited, which owns and operates the Newport facility.  Neptune 6 Limited was renamed "Vishay UK Holdings Limited," and Nexperia Newport Limited was renamed "Vishay Newport Limited."

Based on an estimate of fair values, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition as follows:

Net working deficit (excluding cash and cash equivalents)
 
$
(339
)
Property and equipment
   
153,597

Purchase price, net of cash acquired
    177,457
         
Goodwill
 
$
37,792
 

The acquired assets and liabilities are included in the MOSFETs segment.  The weighted average useful lives for customer relationships is 3 years.  The goodwill associated with this transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes.  The preliminary purchase price allocation is pending finalization of appraisals for property and equipment and intangible assets.  There can be no assurance that the estimated amounts recorded represent the final purchase price allocation.

The Company recognized $2,984 of acquisition costs classified as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses.  These costs were recognized in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2023 and first fiscal quarter of 2024.

The results and operations of this acquisition have been included in the MOSFETs segment since March 5, 2024.  The inclusion of this acquisition did not have material impact on the MOSFETs segment's or the Company's consolidated results.

Ametherm, Inc.

On June 5, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Ametherm, Inc., a Carson City, Nevada-based manufacturer of inrush current limiting solutions and power thermistors, for $31,478 in cash, net of cash acquired.  Based on a preliminary estimate of fair values, the Company allocated $17,000 of the purchase price to definite-lived intangible assets.  After allocating the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimation of their fair values at the date of acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $11,710 related to this acquisition.  The goodwill related to this acquisition is included in the Resistors reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing.  The results and operations of this acquisition have been included in the Resistors segment since June 5, 2024.

MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc.

In October 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc., ("MaxPower").  The Company paid cash of $50,000, net of cash acquired, at closing.  The transaction also included possible contingent payments of up to $57,500, which would be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones, upon favorable resolution of certain technology licensing matters with a third party, and upon the disposition of MaxPower's investment in an equity affiliate.  As of June 29, 2024, the contingent payments upon favorable resolution of certain technology licensing matters with a third party and upon the disposition of MaxPower's investment in an equity affiliate have been resolved.  Additionally, $2,500 has been paid upon the achievement of the first technology milestone.  The Company's estimate of the maximum possible contingent payments remaining is now $15,000.  See Note 13 for further discussion on the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability.

Income Taxes
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 June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 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, or are in the process of passing, legislation to enact Pillar Two and certain Pillar Two rules take effect in 2024 and 2025 in those jurisdictions. The United States has not adopted Pillar Two.  The Company is continuing to monitor the impacts of Pillar Two on its operations and does not anticipate a material increase in income tax expense associated with jurisdictions that have implemented an income inclusion rule. The Company is continuing to monitor and assess the impacts of Pillar Two rules set to take effect in 2025, such as the under-taxed profits rule.

The Company repatriated $120,000 of accumulated earnings to the United States in the second fiscal quarter of 2024 and paid withholding taxes, in Israel, of $15,000.  The withholding tax expense for the repatriation was recorded in prior years.

During the six fiscal months ended June 29, 2024, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased $729 on a net basis, primarily due to statute expirations, partially offset by accruals for the current period.

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 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 (see Note 5), 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 payments to non-employee equity holders of MaxPower pursuant to the acquisition agreement, which will be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones.  The Company may be required to make certain contingent payments upon the receipt of an export license pursuant to the Newport wafer fab acquisition agreement.  The fair value of these contingent consideration 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 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 June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is approximately $809,400 and $836,200, respectively, compared to its carrying value, excluding the deferred financing costs, of $845,102.  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.

At June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 June 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

Discussion on convertible debt included in computation of earnings per share diluted
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 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.
