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 - September 9, 2004 - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) announced today that revenues and net earnings for the third quarter of 2004 will not meet our previous guidance of flat versus the second quarter of 2004. Results for the fourth quarter of 2004 are expected to show sequential improvement both in revenues and net earnings. Dr. Felix Zandman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vishay stated, "Because of weakness in our bookings for July and August, caused by lower demand in all of our end markets, our third quarter revenues and net earnings will be lower than the second quarter of 2004. Early indications are that September's bookings have improved over the levels of July and August, however probably not enough to meet our previous guidance for the third quarter of 2004. We still believe that we will see improved business conditions in the fourth quarter and be able to show sequential improvements." 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).
