Exhibit 99 NEWS RELEASE Contact: Richard N. Grubb, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer or Robert A. Freece, Executive Vice President 610-644-1300 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, rectifiers, transistors, and optoelectronics) and selected ICs, and passive electronic components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transducers). Vishay's components can be found in products manufactured in a very broad range of industries worldwide. Vishay is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and has operations in 17 countries employing over 27,000 people. Vishay can be found on the Internet at http://www.vishay.com.
