Other Income (Expense) | Note 5 – Other Income (Expense) In March 2017, the Company sold its 50% interest in an investment accounted for using the equity method, and recorded a loss of $7,060. The recorded loss includes Vishay's proportionate share of the investee's accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1,110, recognized upon discontinuation of the equity investment. The loss on disposal is not deductible for income tax purposes. There are certain contingencies pending resolution related to the investee, which may require adjustment to the amount of the recognized loss. The resolution of such additional contingencies is not expected to be material to the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
