VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY UPDATES THIRD QUARTER 2020 GUIDANCE AND SCHEDULES THIRD QUARTER 2020 EARNINGS CALL

Malvern, PA, October 14, 2020. Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., (NYSE: VSH), one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, today announced that its results for the third fiscal quarter of 2020 are expected to be above the Company’s previous outlook. The Company now expects third quarter revenues of approximately $640 million at an adjusted gross margin of approximately 23.6% plus/minus 20 basis points. The previous expectation was for revenues in the range of $580 to $620 million at a gross margin of 22.8% plus/minus 70 basis points, assuming a USD/EUR exchange rate of 0.87.

The change in outlook is the result of stronger than expected demand mainly from automotive end customers as well as from distribution, in particular in Asia.

Vishay will release its results for the third quarter before the New York Stock Exchange opens on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.
