On August 12, 2015, a major explosion occurred in the port of Tianjin, China. Vishay owns and operates a diodes manufacturing facility in Tianjin near the port. The shockwave of the explosion resulted in some damage to the facility and caused a temporary shutdown. Full production resumed on September 8, 2015. As a result of this incident, through the end of 2015, the Company estimates that it has incurred $9,946 for inventory, property, and equipment damage (at net book value) and related repair and clean-up costs. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has recorded a receivable of $4,596 for amounts which are probable of recovery under its insurance policies. The accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes, as a separate line item, a loss of $5,350 related to these items, which represents the insurance deductible and certain costs which are potentially not recoverable. The Company's insurance coverage generally provides for replacement cost of damaged items. Any amount expected to be received in excess of the book value of the damaged item will be treated as a gain, but will not be recorded until contingencies are resolved. The Company also believes that it has valid claims under its business interruption insurance policies, but those claims cannot be quantified at this time. The Company will not record a receivable for business interruption claims until all contingencies have been resolved.
