FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VISHAY PROVIDES UPDATED GUIDANCE FOR THIRD QUARTER 2004
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA - October 15, 2004 - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:
VSH) announced today that revenues for the third quarter of 2004 will be
approximately $580 million. In addition, based on bookings levels for the third
quarter and October 2004 to date, revenues for the fourth quarter of 2004 are
expected to be no higher than revenues were for the third quarter of 2004.
Dr. Felix Zandman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vishay stated, "In
the third quarter of 2004 and so far in October, we have not seen the
improvement in bookings that we had anticipated. Therefore it appears that the
revenues for the fourth quarter of 2004 will not be sequentially up as we had
previously guided."
Vishay is scheduled to report its third quarter results on November 3, 2004.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Fortune 1,000 Company listed on the NYSE (VSH),
is one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors (diodes,
