NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (“Vishay” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair summary of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The Company reports interim financial information for 13-week periods beginning on a Sunday and ending on a Saturday, except for the first fiscal quarter, which always begins on January 1, and the fourth fiscal quarter, which always ends on December 31. The four fiscal quarters in 2022 end on April 2, 2022, July 2, 2022, October 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The four fiscal quarters in 2021 ended on April 3, 2021, July 3, 2021, October 2, 2021, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.
Note 2 - Acquisition Activities
As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to expand through targeted acquisitions of other manufacturers of electronic components. These acquisition targets include businesses 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. It also includes certain businesses that possess technologies which the Company expects to further develop and commercialize.
Subsequent Event
On October 28, 2022, 2022, Vishay acquired MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc. ("MaxPower"), a San Jose, California-based fabless power semiconductor provider dedicated to delivering innovative and cost-effective technologies that optimize power management solutions. MaxPower's proprietary device structures and process techniques provide leading edge silicon and silicon carbide ("SiC") MOSFET products. Its SiC product development targets automotive and industrial applications.
Vishay paid cash of $50,000, net of cash acquired, at closing. Related to the transaction, Vishay may also be required to make certain contingent payments of up to $57,500, which would be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones and the occurrence of certain non-operating events. The purchase price for U.S. GAAP purposes will include the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of certain future contingent payments. To the extent contingent payments are deemed compensatory in nature, such payments will be recognized as expense in future periods, and will thus not be included in the U.S. GAAP purchase price.
MaxPower will be incorporated into Vishay’s MOSFETs reportable segment, and the goodwill related to this acquisition will be included in the MOSFETs reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing.
Note 3 – Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The Company's operations in the People's Republic of China, particularly in Shanghai, were impacted by COVID-19 government mandated shut-downs of the Company's facilities in the second fiscal quarter of 2022. The Company incurred incremental costs separable from normal operations that are directly related to the shut-downs, primarily wages paid to manufacturing employees during the shut-downs, additional wages and hardship allowances for working during lockdown periods, and temporary housing for employees due to travel restrictions, which were partially offset by government subsidies. The net impact of the costs and subsidies are reported as cost of products sold ($6,661) and selling, general, and administrative expenses of ($546) based on employee function on the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022.

Note 5 – 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 October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 reflect the Company’s expected tax rate on reported income 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.
The Company recognized tax benefits of $5,941 in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 for changes in uncertain tax positions following the resolution of a tax audit.
The Company repatriated $81,243 to the United States in the second fiscal quarter of 2022 pursuant to the repatriation program initiated in response to a change in Israeli tax law. The Company paid withholding taxes, foreign taxes, and Israeli clawback taxes of $25,201 due to the repatriation. Tax expense for the repatriation was recorded in 2021 when the tax law was enacted.
During the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $11,489 on a net basis, primarily due to payments, settlements, and currency translation adjustments, partially offset by accruals for current year tax positions and interest.

If the average market price of Vishay common stock is less than the effective conversion price of the convertible senior notes due 2025, no shares are included in the diluted earnings per share computation for the convertible senior notes due 2025. Upon Vishay exercising its existing right to legally amend the indenture governing the convertible senior notes due 2025, Vishay will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying $1 cash per $1 principal amount of converted notes and settle any additional amounts due in common stock. Accordingly, the notes are not anti-dilutive when the average market price of Vishay common stock is less than the effective conversion price of the convertible senior notes due 2025.

There have been no changes in the classification of any financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy in the periods presented.
The Company maintains non-qualified trusts, referred to as “rabbi” trusts, to fund payments under deferred compensation and non-qualified pension plans. Rabbi trust assets consist primarily of marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale and company-owned life insurance assets. The marketable securities held in the rabbi trusts are valued using quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The company-owned life insurance assets are valued in consultation with the Company’s insurance brokers using the value of underlying assets of the insurance contracts. The fair value measurement of the marketable securities held in the rabbi trust is considered a Level 1 measurement and the measurement of the company-owned life insurance assets is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company holds investments in debt securities that are intended to fund a portion of its pension and other postretirement benefit obligations outside of the United States. The investments are valued based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The fair value measurement of the investments is considered a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
From time to time, the Company purchases precious metals bullion in excess of its immediate manufacturing needs to mitigate the risk of supply shortages or volatile price fluctuations. The metals are valued based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The fair value measurement of the metals are considered a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company has entered into forward contracts with highly-rated financial institutions to mitigate the foreign currency risk associated with intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than the legal entity's functional currency. The Company had no outstanding forward contracts as of October 1, 2022. The notional amount of the forward contracts was $100,000 as of December 31, 2021. The forward contracts were short-term in nature and were renewed at the Company's discretion until the intercompany loans were repaid. We did not designate the forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and as such the change in the fair value of the contracts would be recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations as a component of other income (expense). The Company estimates the fair value of the forward contracts based on applicable and commonly used pricing models using current market information and was considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The value of the forward contracts was immaterial as of December 31, 2021. The Company does not utilize derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
The fair value of the long-term debt, excluding the derivative liabilities and deferred financing costs, at October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is approximately $435,400 and $485,500, respectively, compared to its carrying value, excluding the deferred financing costs, of $465,344 and $465,344, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using a combination of quoted market prices for similar financing arrangements and expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, which are considered Level 2 inputs.
At October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s short-term investments were comprised of time deposits with financial institutions that have maturities that exceed 90 days from the date of acquisition; however they all mature within one year from the respective balance sheet dates. The Company's short-term investments are accounted for as held-to-maturity debt instruments, at amortized cost, which approximates their fair value. The investments are funded with excess cash not expected to be needed for operations prior to maturity; therefore, the Company believes it has the intent and ability to hold the short-term investments until maturity. At each reporting date, the Company performs an evaluation to determine if any unrealized losses are other-than-temporary. No other-than-temporary impairments have been recognized on these securities, and there are no unrecognized holding gains or losses for these securities during the periods presented. There have been no transfers to or from the held-to-maturity classification. All decreases in the account balance are due to returns of principal at the securities’ maturity dates. Interest on the securities is recognized as interest income when earned.
At October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were comprised of demand deposits, time deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased, and money market funds. The Company estimates the fair value of its cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments using level 2 inputs. Based on the current interest rates for similar investments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity, the fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and held-to-maturity short-term investments approximate the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.
The Company’s financial instruments also include accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts for these financial instruments reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets approximate their fair values.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is intended to provide an understanding of Vishay's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by focusing on changes in certain key measures from period to period. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in Item 1. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in Item 1A. "Risk Factors," filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2022.
Overview
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay," "we," "us," or "our") manufactures one of the world’s largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components that are essential to innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets.
We operate in six segments based on product functionality: MOSFETs, Diodes, Optoelectronic Components, Resistors, Inductors, and Capacitors.
We are focused on enhancing stockholder value by growing our business and improving earnings per share. Since 1985, we have pursued a business strategy of growth through focused research and development and acquisitions. We plan to continue to grow our business through intensified internal growth supplemented by opportunistic acquisitions, while at the same time maintaining a prudent capital structure. To foster intensified internal growth, we have increased our worldwide R&D and engineering technical staff; we are increasing our technical field sales force in Asia to increase our market access to the industrial segment and increase the design-in of our products in local markets; and we are directing increased funding and focus on developing products to capitalize on the connectivity, mobility, and sustainability growth drivers of our business. We are also investing in additional capital expenditures to expand key product lines. Over the next few years, we expect to experience higher growth rates than over the last decade. This expectation is based upon accelerated electrification, such as factory automation, electrical vehicles, and 5G infrastructure.
In addition to enhancing stockholder value through growing our business, on February 7, 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy, which calls for us to return at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, on an annual basis. See further discussion in “Stockholder Return Policy” below.
Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be impacted by worldwide economic conditions. Our revenues are dependent on end markets that are impacted by consumer and industrial demand, and our operating results can be adversely affected by reduced demand in those global markets. The worldwide economy and, specifically, our business were and continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the wide-spread economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Vishay was temporary as evidenced by our revenues since the beginning of 2021, similar disruptions have continued to occur on a more limited scale.
Our operations in the People's Republic of China, particularly in Shanghai, were impacted by COVID-19 government mandated shut-downs in the second fiscal quarter of 2022. These manufacturing facilities were temporarily closed and some were operating at levels less than full capacity. We incurred incremental costs separable from normal operations that are directly related to the government mandated shut-downs, primarily wages paid to manufacturing employees during the shut-downs, additional wages and hardship allowances for working during lockdown periods, and temporary housing for employees due to travel restrictions, which were partially offset by government subsidies. The net impact of the costs and subsidies are reported as cost of products sold ($6.7 million) and selling, general, and administrative expenses ($0.5 million) based on employee function on the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022. We exclude from the amounts reported above any expenses incurred outside of the People's Republic of China and all indirect financial changes from the COVID-19 pandemic such as general macroeconomic effects and higher shipping costs due to reduced shipping capacity. In this volatile economic environment, we continue to closely monitor our fixed costs, capital expenditure plans, inventory, and capital resources to respond to changing conditions and to ensure we have the management, business processes, and resources to meet our future needs. We will react quickly and professionally to changes in demand to minimize manufacturing inefficiencies and excess inventory build in periods of decline and maximize opportunities in periods of growth. We have significant liquidity to withstand temporary disruptions in the economic environment.
We utilize several financial metrics, including net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, segment operating margin, end-of-period backlog, book-to-bill ratio, inventory turnover, change in average selling prices, net cash and short-term investments (debt), and free cash generation to evaluate the performance and assess the future direction of our business. See further discussion in “Financial Metrics” and “Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources” below. Despite ongoing global challenges and further accelerating inflation, net revenues and margins have increased versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year quarter. We continue to maximize manufacturing output at all facilities and increase critical manufacturing capacities. Partially due to the resumption of sales in the third fiscal quarter following government mandated shut-downs, the book-to-bill ratios and backlogs have decreased. Average selling prices remain stable after broad increases in prior periods.

Net revenues for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2022 were $924.8 million, compared to $863.5 million and $813.7 million for the fiscal quarters ended July 2, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively. The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2022 were $140.1 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to $112.4 million, or $0.78 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2022, and $96.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share for the fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2021.
Net revenues for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 were $2,642.1 million, compared to $2,397.4 million for the nine fiscal months ended October 2, 2021. The net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 were $356.0 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, compared to $261.4 million, or $1.80 per diluted share for the nine fiscal months ended October 2, 2021.
We define adjusted net earnings as net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP adjusted for various items that management believes are not indicative of the intrinsic operating performance of our business. We define free cash as the cash flows generated from continuing operations less capital expenditures plus net proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. The reconciliations below include certain financial measures which are not recognized in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash do not have uniform definitions. These measures, as calculated by Vishay, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management believes that adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share are meaningful because they provide insight with respect to our intrinsic operating results. Management believes that free cash is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisitions, repay debt, and otherwise enhance stockholder value through stock repurchases or dividends. We utilize the free cash metric in defining our Stockholder Return Policy.

Our results for the fiscal quarters ended October 1, 2022, July 2, 2022, and October 2, 2021 represent the continuation of the favorable business conditions that we have been experiencing. Our percentage of euro-based sales approximates our percentage of euro-based expenses so the foreign currency impact on revenues was substantially offset by the impact on expenses. Our pre-tax results were consistent with expectations based on our business model.
Our free cash results were significantly impacted by a temporary inventory build in 2022, the installment payments of the U.S. transition tax of $14.8 million in the second fiscal quarters of 2022 and 2021, and $25.2 million of payments of foreign, withholding, and claw-back cash taxes on foreign earnings in Israel for the net $81.2 million that was repatriated to the U.S. in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.

Stockholder Return Policy
On February 7, 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy, which calls for us to return at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, on an annual basis. We intend to return such amounts to stockholders directly, in the form of dividends, or indirectly, in the form of stock repurchases.
The following table summarizes activity pursuant to this policy (in thousands):

| Fiscal quarter ended |  | Nine fiscal months ended |
| October 1, 2022 |  | October 1, 2022 |
Dividends paid to stockholders |  | $ | 14,254 |  |  | $ | 43,062 |
Stock repurchases |  |  | 18,510 |  |  |  | 54,671 |
Total |  | $ | 32,764 |  |  | $ | 97,733 |

As a direct result of a change in tax law in Israel, we made the determination during the fourth quarter of 2021 that substantially all unremitted foreign earnings in Israel are no longer permanently reinvested. We intend to primarily utilize these earnings, distributed from Israel to the United States, to initially fund our Stockholder Return Program. We repatriated net $81.2 million to the United States from Israel during the second fiscal quarter of 2022. The repatriated cash is being used to fund our Stockholder Return Policy.
Over the long-term, we expect to fund the Stockholder Return Policy from our historically strong cash flows from operations. However, because most of our operating cash flow is typically generated by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, we may in the future need to change our permanent reinvestment assertion on current earnings of certain subsidiaries, which would have the effect of increasing the effective tax rate. Substantially all of these additional taxes would be withholding and foreign taxes on cash remitted to the U.S., as such dividends are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax.
The structure of our newly adopted Stockholder Return Policy enables us to allocate capital responsibly among our business, our lenders, and our stockholders. We will continue to invest in growth initiatives including key product line expansions, targeted R&D, and synergistic acquisitions.
We have paid dividends each quarter since the first quarter of 2014, and the Stockholder Return Policy will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy. Implementation of the Stockholder Return Policy is subject to future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors, market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The policy sets forth our intention, but does not obligate us to acquire any shares of common stock or declare any dividends, and the policy may be terminated or suspended at any time at our discretion, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Financial Metrics
We utilize several financial metrics to evaluate the performance and assess the future direction of our business. These key financial measures and metrics include net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, segment operating income, segment operating margin, end-of-period backlog, and the book-to-bill ratio. We also monitor changes in inventory turnover and our or publicly available average selling prices (“ASP”).
Gross profit margin is computed as gross profit as a percentage of net revenues. Gross profit is generally net revenues less costs of products sold, but also deducts certain other period costs, particularly losses on purchase commitments and inventory write-downs. Losses on purchase commitments and inventory write-downs have the impact of reducing gross profit margin in the period of the charge, but result in improved gross profit margins in subsequent periods by reducing costs of products sold as inventory is used. We also regularly evaluate gross profit by segment to assist in the analysis of consolidated gross profit. Gross profit margin and gross profit margin by segment are clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflect our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.
Operating margin is computed as gross profit less operating expenses, expressed as a percentage of net revenues. Operating margin is clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflects our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.
Our chief operating decision maker makes decisions, allocates resources, and evaluates business segment performance based on segment operating income. Only dedicated, direct selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of the segments are included in the calculation of segment operating income. We do not allocate certain SG&A expenses that are managed at the regional or corporate global level to our segments. Accordingly, segment operating income excludes these SG&A expenses that are not directly traceable to the segments. Segment operating income would also exclude costs not routinely used in the management of the segments in periods when those items are present, such as restructuring and severance costs, the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other items affecting comparability. Segment operating income is clearly a function of net revenues, but also reflects our cost management programs and our ability to contain fixed costs. Segment operating margin is segment operating income expressed as a percentage of net revenues.
End-of-period backlog is one indicator of future revenues. We include in our backlog only open orders that we expect to ship in the next twelve months. If demand falls below customers’ forecasts, or if customers do not control their inventory effectively, they may cancel or reschedule the shipments that are included in our backlog, in many instances without the payment of any penalty. Therefore, the backlog is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods.
An important indicator of demand in our industry is the book-to-bill ratio, which is the ratio of the amount of product ordered during a period as compared with the product that we ship during that period. A book-to-bill ratio that is greater than one indicates that our backlog is building and that we are likely to see increasing revenues in future periods. Conversely, a book-to-bill ratio that is less than one is an indicator of declining demand and may foretell declining revenues.
We focus on our inventory turnover as a measure of how well we are managing our inventory. We define inventory turnover for a financial reporting period as our costs of products sold for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the reporting period divided by our average inventory (computed using each fiscal quarter-end balance) for this same period. A higher level of inventory turnover reflects more efficient use of our capital.
Pricing in our industry can be volatile. Using our and publicly available data, we analyze trends and changes in average selling prices to evaluate likely future pricing. The erosion of average selling prices of established products is typical for semiconductor products. We attempt to offset this deterioration with ongoing cost reduction activities and new product introductions. Our specialty passive components are more resistant to average selling price erosion. All pricing is subject to governing market conditions and is independently set by us.

The quarter-to-quarter trends in these financial metrics can also be an important indicator of the likely direction of our business. The following table shows net revenues, gross profit margin, operating margin, end-of-period backlog, book-to-bill ratio, inventory turnover, and changes in ASP for our business as a whole during the five fiscal quarters beginning with the third fiscal quarter of 2021 through the third fiscal quarter of 2022 (dollars in thousands):

(1) Gross margin for the second fiscal quarter of 2022 includes $6.7 million of expenses directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (see Note 3 to our consolidated condensed financial statements).
(2) Operating margin for the second fiscal quarter of 2022 includes $7.2 million of expenses directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (see Note 3 to our consolidated condensed financial statements).
See “Financial Metrics by Segment” below for net revenues, book-to-bill ratio, and gross profit margin broken out by segment.
Revenues increased significantly versus the third fiscal quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher volume and higher average selling prices. Revenues increased slightly versus the prior fiscal quarter primarily due to higher volume. The increased volume is partially due to operations and sales resuming following the two-month government mandated COVID-19 shut-down of our manufacturing facilities in Shanghai, People's Republic of China that significantly impacted our semiconductor segments in the second fiscal quarter of 2022. The book-to-bill ratio and backlog were negatively impacted by the catch-up in sales during the third fiscal quarter. We continue to increase manufacturing capacity for critical product lines. Average selling prices were stable in the third fiscal quarter following broad price increases that we implemented in prior periods across the product portfolio to offset increased materials and transportation costs and accelerating general inflation.
Gross profit margin increased versus prior fiscal quarter and the second fiscal quarter of 2021. The increase versus the prior fiscal quarter is primarily due to higher volume. The increase versus the third fiscal quarter of 2021 is primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher volume.
The book-to-bill ratio in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 decreased to 0.88 versus 1.07 in the second fiscal quarter of 2022. The book-to-bill ratio was negatively impacted by the catch-up in semiconductor sales during the third fiscal quarter. The book-to-bill ratios in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 for distributors and original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") were 0.77 and 1.03, respectively, versus ratios of 1.05 and 1.11, respectively, during the second fiscal quarter of 2022.
For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, we anticipate revenues between $860 million and $900 million at a gross margin of 30.0% plus/minus 50 basis points.

Acquisition Activity
As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to expand through targeted acquisitions of other manufacturers of electronic components. These acquisition targets include businesses 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. It also includes certain businesses that possess technologies which the Company expects to further develop and commercialize. To limit our financial exposure, we have implemented a policy not to pursue acquisitions if our post-acquisition debt would exceed 2.5x our pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). For these purposes, we calculate pro forma EBITDA as the adjusted EBITDA of Vishay and the target for Vishay’s four preceding fiscal quarters, with a pro forma adjustment for savings which management estimates would have been achieved had the target been acquired by Vishay at the beginning of the four fiscal quarter period.
Subsequent Event
On October 28, 2022, we acquired MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc. ("MaxPower"), a San Jose, California-based fabless power semiconductor provider dedicated to delivering innovative and cost-effective technologies that optimize power management solutions. MaxPower's proprietary device structures and process techniques provide leading edge silicon and silicon carbide ("SiC") MOSFET products. Its SiC product development targets automotive and industrial applications.
We paid cash of $50.0 million, net of cash acquired, at closing. Related to the transaction, we may also be required to make certain contingent payments of up to $57.5 million, which would be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones and the occurrence of certain non-operating events. The purchase price for U.S. GAAP purposes will include the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of certain future contingent payments. To the extent contingent payments are deemed compensatory in nature, such payments will be recognized as expense in future periods, and will thus not be included in the U.S. GAAP purchase price.
There is no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire additional suitable acquisition candidates at price levels and on terms and conditions we consider acceptable.

Net change |  |  | 7.1 | % |  |  | 13.7 | % |  |  | 10.2 | %

We continue to experience good economic conditions while we continue to increase critical manufacturing capacities. Average selling prices were stable in the third fiscal quarter following broad price increases implemented across the product portfolio in prior periods. Net revenues increased significantly versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year periods primarily due to increases in volume and increases in average selling prices versus the prior year periods. Volume in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 was positively impacted by the resumption of operations and sales following a two-month government mandated shut-down of two facilities in Shanghai, People's Republic of China, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the second fiscal quarter.
Gross Profit Margins
Gross profit margins for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2022 were 31.3%, versus 30.3% and 27.7%, for the comparable prior quarter and prior year period, respectively. Gross profit margins for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 were 30.7%, versus 27.4% for the comparable prior year period. The increases versus the prior year periods are primarily due to higher average selling prices and increased volume, partially offset by inflationary impacts, particularly increased metals and transportation costs, and negative exchange rate impacts. The gross profit margin increased versus the prior fiscal quarter primarily due to increased volume, partially offset by inflationary impacts, particularly increased metals and transportation costs and the negative impact of an inventory decrease.

The change in net revenues versus the comparable prior periods was as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  | Fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2022 |  |  | Nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 |
|  | Change in net revenues |  |  | % change |  |  | Change in net revenues |  |  | % change |

October 2, 2021 |  | $ | 49,687 |  |  |  | 28.3 | % |  | $ | 59,596 |  |  |  | 12.0 | %

Changes in MOSFETs segment net revenues were attributable to the following:

|  | vs. Prior Quarter |  |  | vs. Prior Year Quarter |  |  | vs. Prior Year-to-Date |
Change attributable to: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Increase in volume |  |  | 44.9 | % |  |  | 18.2 | % |  |  | 2.8 | %
Increase in average selling prices |  |  | 0.1 | % |  |  | 10.9 | % |  |  | 11.3 | %
Foreign currency effects |  |  | -1.3 | % |  |  | -3.7 | % |  |  | -2.4 | %

Net change |  |  | 42.2 | % |  |  | 28.3 | % |  |  | 12.0 | %

The MOSFET segment net revenues increased significantly versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year periods. The increases versus the prior fiscal quarter and prior year quarter are primarily due to increased volume as operations and sales resumed following the two-month government mandated COVID-19 shut-down in Shanghai, People's Republic of China that required an almost complete closure of our main manufacturing facility in the second fiscal quarter of 2022. Increased average selling prices are the primary factor for the increase versus the prior year-to-date period and also contributed to the increase versus the prior year quarter. All regions and sales channels, particularly distribution customers in the Americas region, contributed to the increased revenue.
Gross profit margin increased versus the prior fiscal quarter and especially versus the prior year periods. The increase versus the prior fiscal quarter was primarily due to increased sales volume, partially offset by the negative impact of an inventory decrease following the resumption of operations and sales in Shanghai, People's Republic of China in the third fiscal quarter. The increases versus the prior year periods were primarily due to increased average selling prices, increased sales volume, and a positive change in the sales mix toward more profitable products such as ICs.
The segment operating margin increased versus the prior fiscal quarter and prior year periods. The increases are primarily due to increased gross profit. Increased segment SG&A expenses primarily due to increased R&D activity limited the increases.
Average selling prices were flat versus the prior fiscal quarter, but increased versus the prior year periods due to the strategic price increases implemented in prior periods.
We continue to invest to expand mid- and long-term manufacturing capacity for strategic product lines. We have begun building a 12-inch wafer fab in Itzehoe, Germany adjacent to our existing 8-inch wafer fab, which we expect will increase our in-house wafer capacity by approximately 70% within 3-4 years and allow us to balance our in-house and foundry wafer supply.

Net revenues of the Diodes segment increased significantly versus the prior fiscal quarter and the prior year periods. Most end markets and customer channels contributed to the increases. The increase versus the prior fiscal quarter is also due to increased volume as operations and sales resumed following extended government mandated COVID-19 shut-downs of our manufacturing facilities in the People's Republic of China, particularly Shanghai, in the second fiscal quarter. The increases were negatively impacted by increased inventory at distribution customers in Asia.
Gross profit margin decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter, but increased versus the prior year periods. The decrease versus the prior fiscal quarter is due to the negative impact of an inventory decrease following the resumption of operations and sales in Shanghai, People's Republic of China in the third fiscal quarter and cost inflation, partially offset by increased sales volume. The increases versus the prior year periods are primarily due to increased average selling prices, our cost reduction measures, and increases in sales volume, partially offset by significant cost inflation.
The segment operating margin decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter, but increased versus the prior year periods. The fluctuations are primarily due to gross profit fluctuations. The impact of a weaker euro decreased segment SG&A expenses, particularly versus the prior year periods.
Average selling prices decreased versus the prior fiscal quarter, but remain significantly higher than the prior year periods due to the strategic price increases implemented across the product portfolio in prior periods.

Income Taxes
For the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2022, our effective tax rate was 22.4%, as compared to 23.8% and 16.6% for the fiscal quarters ended July 2, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively. For the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022, our effective tax rate was 23.2%, as compared to 18.3% for the nine fiscal months ended October 2, 2021. With the reduction in the U.S. statutory rate to 21% beginning January 1, 2018, we expect that our effective tax rate will be higher than the U.S. statutory rate, excluding unusual transactions. Discrete tax items of $(5.9) million (tax benefits) and $(5.7) million (tax benefits) impacted our effective tax rate for the fiscal quarters ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively. Discrete tax items of $(5.9) million (tax benefits) and $(14.0) million (tax benefits) impacted our effective tax rate for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively.
We recognized tax benefits of $5.9 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2022 for changes in uncertain tax positions following the resolution of a tax audit.
We repatriated $81.2 million to the United States in the second fiscal quarter of 2022 pursuant to the repatriation program initiated in response to a change in Israeli tax law. We paid withholding taxes, foreign taxes, and Israeli clawback taxes of $25.2 million due to the repatriation. Tax expense for the repatriation was recorded in 2021 when the tax law was enacted.
During the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $11.5 million on a net basis, primarily due to payments, settlements, and currency translation adjustments, partially offset by accruals for current year tax positions and interest.
We operate in a global environment with significant operations in various locations outside the United States. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting our earnings and the applicable tax rates in the various locations where we operate. Part of our historical strategy has been to achieve cost savings through the transfer and expansion of manufacturing operations to countries where we can take advantage of lower labor costs and available tax and other government-sponsored incentives.
Additional information about income taxes is included in Note 5 to our consolidated condensed financial statements.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
Our financial condition as of October 1, 2022 continued to be strong. Cash and short-term investments exceed our long-term debt balances, and we have historically been a strong generator of operating cash flows. The cash generated from operations is used to fund our capital expenditure plans, and cash in excess of our capital expenditure needs is available to fund our acquisition strategy, to reduce debt levels, and to pay dividends and repurchase stock. We have generated cash flows from operations in excess of $200 million in each of the last 20 years, and cash flows from operations in excess of $100 million in each of the last 27 years.
Management uses a non-GAAP measure, "free cash," to evaluate our ability to fund acquisitions, repay debt, and otherwise enhance stockholder value through stock repurchases or dividends. See "Overview" above for "free cash" definition and reconciliation to GAAP. Vishay has generated positive "free cash" in each of the past 25 years, and "free cash" in excess of $80 million in each of the last 20 years. In this volatile economic environment, we continue to focus on the generation of free cash, including an emphasis on cost controls.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $317.8 million for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022, as compared to cash flows provided by operations of $310.5 million for the nine fiscal months ended October 2, 2021.
Cash paid for property and equipment for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 was $172.2 million, as compared to $118.2 million for the nine fiscal months ended October 2, 2021. To be well positioned to service our customers and to fully participate in growing markets, we intend to increase our capital expenditures for expansion in the mid-term. For the year 2022, we expect to invest approximately $325 million in capital expenditures.
Free cash flow for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 was negatively impacted by working capital changes, higher than usual capital expenditures, and cash taxes paid for repatriation. We expect our business to continue to be a reliable generator of free cash. There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to continue to generate cash flows from operations and free cash at our historical levels, or at all, going forward if the economic environment worsens. The COVID-19 pandemic and the mitigation efforts by governments to control its spread have not had a significant impact on our financial condition, liquidity, or capital resources.
On February 7, 2022, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Return Policy that will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy. See “Stockholder Return Policy” above for additional information.
The following table summarizes the components of net cash and short-term investments (debt) at October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

|  | October 1, 2022 |  |  | December 31, 2021 |
Credit facility |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
Convertible senior notes, due 2025 |  |  | 465,344 |  |  |  | 465,344 |
Deferred financing costs |  |  | (7,224 | ) |  |  | (9,678 | )
Total debt |  |  | 458,120 |  |  |  | 455,666 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  |  | 734,992 |  |  |  | 774,108 |
Short-term investments |  |  | 182,646 |  |  |  | 146,743 |
Net cash and short-term investments (debt) |  | $ | 459,518 |  |  | $ | 465,185 |

"Net cash and short-term investments (debt)" does not have a uniform definition and is not recognized in accordance with GAAP. This measure should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. However, management believes that an analysis of "net cash and short-term investments (debt)" assists investors in understanding aspects of our cash and debt management. The measure, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We invest a portion of our excess cash in highly liquid, high-quality instruments with maturities greater than 90 days, but less than 1 year, which we classify as short-term investments on our consolidated balance sheets. As these investments were funded using a portion of excess cash and represent a significant aspect of our cash management strategy, we include the investments in the calculation of net cash and short-term investments (debt).
The interest rates on our short-term investments vary by location. Transactions related to these investments are classified as investing activities on our consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

As of October 1, 2022, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment were held in countries outside of the United States. Cash dividends to stockholders, share repurchases, and principal and interest payments on our debt instruments need to be paid by the U.S. parent company, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Our U.S. subsidiaries also have cash operating needs. The distribution of earnings from Israel to the United States will initially be used to fund our Stockholder Return Policy. We expect that cash on-hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our longer-term financing needs related to normal operating requirements, regular dividend payments, share repurchases pursuant to our Stockholder Return Policy, and our research and development and capital expenditure plans. Our substantially undrawn credit facility provides us with significant operating liquidity in the United States.
Our revolving credit facility provides an aggregate commitment of $750 million of revolving loans available until June 5, 2024. The maximum amount available on the revolving credit facility is restricted by the financial covenants described below. The credit facility also provides us the ability to request up to $300 million of incremental facilities, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which could take the form of additional revolving commitments, incremental “term loan A” or “term loan B” facilities, or incremental equivalent debt.
We had no amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility at December 31, 2021 and October 1, 2022. We borrowed $558 million and repaid $558 million on the revolving credit facility during the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022. The average outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility calculated at fiscal month-ends was $47.9 million and the highest amount outstanding on our revolving credit facility at a fiscal month end was $124 million during the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022.
The revolving credit facility limits or restricts us from, among other things, incurring indebtedness, incurring liens on its respective assets, making investments and acquisitions (assuming our pro forma leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00), making asset sales, and paying cash dividends and making other restricted payments (assuming our pro forma leverage ratio is greater than 2.50 to 1.00), and requires us to comply with other covenants, including the maintenance of specific financial ratios.
The financial maintenance covenants include (a) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1; and (b) a leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1 (and a pro forma ratio of 3.00 to 1 on the date of incurrence of additional debt). The computation of these ratios is prescribed in Article VI of the Credit Agreement between Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed June 5, 2019.
We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the credit facility at October 1, 2022. Our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio were 36.01 to 1 and 0.61 to 1, respectively. We expect to continue to be in compliance with these covenants based on current projections.
If we are not in compliance with all of the required financial covenants, the credit facility could be terminated by the lenders, and any amounts then outstanding pursuant to the credit facility could become immediately payable. Additionally, our convertible senior notes due 2025 have cross-default provisions that could accelerate repayment in the event the indebtedness under the credit facility is accelerated.
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an interest margin. The applicable interest margin is based on our leverage ratio. We also pay a commitment fee, also based on our leverage ratio, on undrawn amounts. Based on our current leverage ratio, any new borrowings will bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%, and the undrawn commitment fee is 0.25% per annum.
The borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and general intangibles (but excluding real estate, intellectual property registered or licensed solely for use in, or arising solely under the laws of, any country other than the United States, assets located solely outside of the United States and deposit and securities accounts), of Vishay and certain significant subsidiaries located in the United States, and pledges of stock in certain significant domestic and foreign subsidiaries; and are guaranteed by certain significant subsidiaries.
We expect, at least initially, to fund certain future obligations required to be paid by the U.S. parent company by borrowing under our revolving credit facility. We also expect to continue to use the credit facility from time-to-time to meet certain short-term financing needs. Additional acquisition activity, convertible debt repurchases, or conversion of our convertible debt instruments may require additional borrowing under our credit facility or may otherwise require us to incur additional debt. No principal payments on our debt are due before 2025 and our revolving credit facility expires in June 2024.
The convertible senior notes due 2025 are not currently convertible. Pursuant to the indenture governing the convertible senior notes due 2025 and the amendments thereto incorporated in the Supplemental Indenture dated December 23, 2020, we will cash-settle the principal amount of $1,000 per note and settle any additional amounts in shares of our common stock. We intend to finance the principal amount of any converted notes using borrowings under our credit facility. No conversions have occurred to date.
