Income Taxes [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Note 3 – 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 July 4, 2015 and June 28, 2014 reflect the Company's expected tax rate on reported income from continuing operations 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. During the six fiscal months ended July 4, 2015, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $378 on a net basis, principally due to increases for tax positions taken in prior periods and interest. During 2014, the Company borrowed $53,000 on its revolving credit facility to achieve future flexibility given the legal entity and the financial structure utilized for the Capella Microsystems Inc. ("Capella") acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition of the noncontrolling interests in Capella on December 31, 2014, the Company planned to repatriate cash from the 2014 earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to the United States primarily to repay those borrowings on the revolving credit facility, and also to realign the acquired entity structure to have Capella's U.S. subsidiary directly owned by Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. The tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2014 included all U.S. federal and state income taxes, incremental foreign income taxes, and withholding taxes payable related to that anticipated repatriation transaction. During the second fiscal quarter of 2015, we reduced the balance of the revolving credit facility by approximately $45,000 using cash that was repatriated. An additional $11,000 is expected to be repatriated in August 2015 and used to further reduce the balance of the revolving credit facility.
