Acquisition and Divestiture Activities [Abstract] |
Acquisition and Divestiture Activities | Note 2 - Acquisition and Divestiture Activities As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to expand through targeted acquisitions of other manufacturers of electronic components that have established positions in major markets, reputations for product quality and reliability, and product lines with which the Company has substantial marketing and technical expertise. Year ended December 31, 2016 In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015, the Company deposited the $6,750 purchase price of Sonntag Electronic GmbH ("Sonntag"). The purchase price, net of cash acquired was $5,450. The acquisition was effective January 1, 2016. Sonntag is a distributor of electronic components in Germany. The inclusion of this business did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2016. After allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimation of their fair values at the date of acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $3,485 related to this acquisition. The goodwill related to this acquisition is included in the Resistors & Inductors reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing. Had this acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, the pro forma statements of operations would not be materially different than the consolidated statements of operations presented. Year ended December 31, 2015 Vishay did not complete any acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2015. Year ended December 31, 2014 Holy Stone Polytech Co., Ltd. On June 11, 2014, Vishay acquired Holy Stone Polytech Co., Ltd. ("Holy Stone Polytech"), a Japanese manufacturer of tantalum capacitors and formerly a subsidiary of Holy Stone Enterprise Co. Ltd., for $20,576, net of cash acquired. The Company is using the technology acquired to begin to penetrate the polymer tantalum capacitor market. For financial reporting purposes, the results of operations of Holy Stone Polytech have been included in the Capacitors segment since June 11, 2014. The inclusion of this business did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2014. Based on an estimate of their fair values, the Company allocated $3,736 of the purchase price to definite-lived intangible assets. After allocating the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on an estimation of their fair values at the date of acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $6,328 related to this acquisition. The goodwill related to this acquisition is included in the Capacitors reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing. See Note 3 for further information. Capella Microsystems Inc. On July 11, 2014, Vishay entered into an agreement to acquire Capella for approximately $205,000. Capella is a fabless IC design company specializing in optoelectronic products. As a first step in the acquisition, Vishay launched a tender offer for Capella's outstanding shares. A total of 38,703,705 shares of Capella, or 88.95% of outstanding shares, were tendered and accepted by Vishay. The offer period expired on September 1, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, Vishay paid NT$139 for each share tendered. The aggregate purchase price was $180,167. Capella had cash and short-term investments on hand of $50,195 at the date of acquisition. Vishay funded the acquisition with cash on hand and $53,000 of borrowings under its credit facility. Subsequent to the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in December 31, 2014, the Company repatriated cash from the current 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 acquisition has strengthened the in-house design capabilities of our entire optoelectronic components business. Upon the close of the tender offer, Vishay controlled Capella and began consolidating it in its financial statements. For financial reporting purposes, the results and operations and net assets of Capella are included in the Optoelectronic Components segment. Capella's results were not material to the Company's consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2014. Vishay acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Capella on December 31, 2014 pursuant to the merger agreement. In connection with the closing of the merger, all remaining holders of Capella common stock other than Vishay and its subsidiaries received the same consideration for their shares as the holders who tendered their shares in the tender offer, or $21,067 in the aggregate. In evaluating the acquisition of Capella, the Company focused primarily on the ability to synergize Capella's optoelectronics design capabilities with Vishay's existing optoelectronics product lines and customers. As a result, the fair value of the acquired assets, including identified intangible assets, corresponds to a relatively smaller portion of the acquisition price, with the Company recording a substantial amount of goodwill associated with the acquisition. The Company recognized intangible asset impairment charges of $57,600 in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 to write-down acquired Capella assets to their fair value. See Note 3 for further information on the impairment charges. The Company recognized $843 of acquisition costs classified as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. Note 2 - Acquisition and Divestiture Activities (continued) Pro Forma Results The unaudited pro forma results would have been as follows, assuming the 2014 acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2014:
|  | Year ended |
|  | December 31, 2014 |
Pro forma net revenues |  | $ | 2,522,010 |
Pro forma net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders |  |  | 114,510 |
Pro forma basic earnings per share attributable to Vishay stockholders |  | $ | 0.78 |
Pro forma diluted earnings per share attributable to Vishay stockholders |  | $ | 0.75 |
The pro forma information presented for the year ended December 31, 2014 was adjusted to exclude acquisition-related costs incurred in 2014. The pro forma information also includes adjustments for interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the acquisition, amortization of acquired intangible assets (excluding effects of the 2015 impairment charges), depreciation of acquired property and equipment, and tax related effects. The unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been attained had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2014.
