This is consistent with our Growth Plan, which is designed to further improve Vishay’s position in the top ranks of the global electronics industry. At the same time, Vishay maintained its strong financial position, which has served the Company well during both upturns and downturns in the global economy. Organic growth has involved accelerating the development of new products, as well as improving market penetration through carefully planned capacity expansion. During 2014, Vishay made two strategic acquisitions, which closed technological gaps: Holy Stone Polytech and Capella Microsystems. We expect that these acquisitions will ensure future mid- and long-term growth of our capacitor and optoelectronics businesses, respectively. The acquisition of Holy Stone Polytech, a Japanese manufacturer of tantalum capacitors, brought with it polymer tantalum capacitor technology, which is new to Vishay. The acquisition of Capella, a Taiwan-based fabless IC design company, brought with it the capability to design ICs for infrared sensors that will considerably strengthen Vishay’s optoelectronics business, particularly in the fast growing market for optical sensors. In February 2014, Vishay announced its first ever cash dividend to Vishay stockholders. Vishay subsequently announced cash dividends in May, August, and November 2014. This cash dividend program was made possible by Vishay’s historically strong cash generation. Vishay has consistently generated in excess of $100 million in “free cash” (the amount of cash generated from operations in excess of capital expenditures and net of proceeds from the sale of assets) in each of the past nine years. Looking ahead, Vishay will continue to maintain its strong financial position, invest in R&D, stimulate organic growth, and explore opportunities for acquisitions to further strengthen the Company. Vishay’s leading market position in the global electronics industry and strong financial position lay the groundwork for continued growth that will enable the Company to return value to its stockholders. I sincerely thank Vishay’s employees, customers, vendors, strategic business partners, and stockholders. Thank you for believing in Vishay. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER For Vishay Intertechnology and the entire electronic components industry, 2014, like 2013, was a year in which developments in key market segments, as well as global political and economic events, had an impact on business. Although a strong first half in 2014 was followed by a weaker second half, 2014 was nevertheless a successful year overall for Vishay. The Company achieved organic revenue growth of 4% year over year while its adjusted operating income increased by 14% and adjusted EPS by 16%. Vishay generated “free cash” (the amount of cash generated from operations in excess of capital expenditures and net of proceeds from the sale of assets) of $143 million during 2014, which represents a continuation of the Company’s good long-term performance. Vishay continues to be a very reliable generator of “free cash.” During 2014, Vishay continued to expand its sales organization in Asia, particularly in China, by hiring field application engineers to better identify and support customers in industrial market segments. Vishay has started to reap the benefits of this program. The Company fully integrated its MCB Industrie acquisition and started to integrate the Holy Stone Polytech business into its tantalum capacitor division. Vishay will use Capella Microsystems technologies to strengthen and expand its optical sensors business in the industrial and automotive segments. Also in 2014, Vishay finalized its voluntary retirement program. Consistent with the Company’s Growth Plan, Vishay will continue to invest in manufacturing capacities for key products ahead of demand. Further growth in Asian industrial markets, technological innovation, and the finalization of major cost reduction projects are Vishay’s most important goals. Let me state quite clearly that, with its extensive product portfolio, wide range of customers in key market segments, and broad geographic footprint in combination with its operational excellence and fixed cost control, Vishay is well positioned for the future. I thank all Vishay’s employees, customers, vendors, strategic business partners, and stockholders for their support during 2014, and look forward to continued growth in 2015. Vishay Intertechnology Messages from the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer MARC ZANDMAN Executive Chairman of the Board DR. GERALD PAUL Chief Executive Officer 1 THE VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY STORY COMPANY ROOTS Dr. Felix Zandman, with a loan from his cousin Alfred P. Slaner, founded Vishay in 1962 to develop and manufacture Bulk Metal® foil resistors. The Company was named after Dr. Zandman’s ancestral village in Lithuania, in memory of family members who perished in the Holocaust. When Dr. Zandman passed away in 2011, he left a lasting legacy. His high standards and values are embedded in Vishay’s culture. They positively influence the ethical business practices implemented by Vishay personnel, across the globe, every day. GLOBAL INDUSTRY LEADER Vishay Intertechnology discrete semiconductors and passive components are used today by virtually all major manufacturers of electronic products worldwide, in the industrial, computing, automotive, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, power supply, and medical markets. Vishay components are inside products and systems used every day, from high-voltage transmission systems to smartphones to automobiles to LCD TVs to airplanes to pacemakers. In addition, Vishay has demonstrated an ability to customize components to meet specific customer needs. Vishay is very well positioned to provide components for new macroeconomic growth drivers such as connectivity (including smartphones, wearables, wireless chargers, solid-state drives, and mobile payment systems); mobility (including internal combustion systems, hybrid and fully electric vehicles, off-road equipment, lift trucks, railroad equipment, and ships); and sustainability (including solar, wind turbine, smart grid, energy harvesting, power transmission and distribution, and energy exploration systems). Vishay’s global footprint includes manufacturing plants in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Israel, as well as sales offices worldwide. Vishay’s technology innovations, acquisition strategy, focus on cost control, “one-stop shop” service to customers, and custom design capabilities have made it a global industry leader. Vishay has broad market penetration with a wide range of end markets, a balanced geographic footprint, and a good mix of sales channels. Vishay has strong relationships with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of end products, distributors, and electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies worldwide. ACQUISITIONS During the 1960s and 1970s, Vishay became known as the world’s leading manufacturer of foil resistors, PhotoStress® products, and strain gages. (These products later became part of Vishay Precision Group [NYSE: VPG], which was spun off as an independent, publicly traded company in 2010 through a tax-free stock dividend to Vishay Intertechnology stockholders.) Vishay’s decision in the mid-1980s to grow through acquisitions proved very successful. Starting in 1985, Vishay acquired resistor companies Dale Electronics (U.S.), Draloric Electronic (Germany), and Sfernice (France). These acquisitions helped produce dramatic sales growth. In the early 1990s, Vishay applied its acquisition strategy to the capacitor market by purchasing Sprague Electric (U.S.), Roederstein (Germany), and Vitramon (U.S.). In 2002, Vishay purchased BCcomponents, the former passive component businesses of Philips Electronics (Netherlands) and Beyschlag (Germany). In 1998, Vishay acquired the Semiconductor Business Group of TEMIC, which included Telefunken (Germany) and 80.4% of Siliconix (U.S.), producers of MOSFETs, RF transistors, diodes, optoelectronic products, and power and analog switching integrated circuits. Vishay’s next semiconductor acquisition came in 2001, with the purchase of the infrared component business of Infineon Technologies (Germany). That was followed the same year by the acquisition of General Semiconductor (U.S.), a leading global manufacturer of rectifiers and diodes. In 2005, Vishay purchased the remaining 19.6% of Siliconix shares. Two years later, Vishay acquired selected discrete semiconductor and module product lines from International Rectifier. Over the years, Vishay has made a number of other acquisitions to complement its portfolio of passive components. These include Electro-Films, Cera-Mite, and Spectrol in 2000; Tansitor and North American Capacitor Company (Mallory) in 2001; the thin film interconnect business of Aeroflex in 2004; Phoenix do Brasil in 2006; and the wet tantalum capacitor business of KEMET in 2008. Since 2011, Vishay’s acquisition strategy has focused on opportunistic small to mid-size acquisitions of niche businesses to supplement organic growth. Acquisitions have included the resistor businesses of Huntington Electric (composed of Huntington, Milwaukee, Central, and Mills Resistors) in 2011. The Huntington acquisition further enhanced Vishay’s broad resistor portfolio, particularly in the high-power and high-current ranges, as well as with resistor assemblies for industrial applications. In 2012, Vishay acquired HiRel Systems, a manufacturer of high- reliability transformers, inductors, coils, and power conversion products. The HiRel Systems product and technology portfolio includes custom magnetics for medical, military, aerospace and aviation, and applications in the industrial and commercial field such as renewable energy and test and measurement equipment. In 2013, Vishay acquired MCB Industrie, a manufacturer of specialty resistors for professional market segments. These resistors are used as motion sensors in avionics, military, and space applications and as power resistors in traction, energy distribution, and various other industrial applications. 2 Vishay Intertechnology In 2014, Vishay acquired Holy Stone Polytech, a Japanese manufacturer of tantalum capacitors. This acquisition brought with it polymer tantalum capacitor technology, which was new to Vishay. In 2014, Vishay also acquired Capella Microsystems, a Taiwan-based fabless IC design company specializing in optoelectronic products. Capella’s strong market position in optical sensors complements Vishay’s current capabilities in this field. DRIVING STOCKHOLDER VALUE Vishay is focused on driving stockholder value. It is doing this through intensified organic growth, supplemented by targeted acquisitions, a quarterly cash dividend program, and opportunistic stock buybacks, while at the same time maintaining a prudent capital structure. Vishay continues to be a reliable generator of “free cash” (the amount of cash generated from operations in excess of capital expenditures and net of proceeds from the sale of assets). Vishay has consistently generated in excess of $100 million in “free cash” in each of the past nine years. Vishay’s plan for intensified organic growth includes accelerating development of new products and technologies, increasing market share in Asia, primarily in the industrial segment, and improving product availability for key product lines during demand spikes. Vishay has expanded its technical sales force and field application engineering teams to spur its drive for increased market share in Asia, with a focus on China. NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Vishay has increased technical resources in focus areas to accelerate new product development.

They are used to store electrical charges, to limit or resist electrical current, and to help in filtering, surge suppression, measurement, timing, and tuning applications. PASSIVE COMPONENTS RESISTORS Resistors restrict current flow. Vishay manufactures many different types of resistive products, including single (discrete) resistors based on film, wirewound, Power Metal Strip®, and other technologies, as well as resistor networks and arrays, in which multiple resistors are combined in a single package. Vishay also manufactures battery management shunts, chip fuses, pyrotechnic initiators/igniters, variable resistors (including potentiometers), and non-linear resistors (including thermistors, used for current protection and temperature sensing). Vishay is a market and technology leader in wirewound and other power resistors, leaded film resistors, and thin film surface-mount resistors. INDUCTORS Inductors, a category of magnetics, use an internal magnetic field to change AC current phase and resist AC current. Inductor functions include controlling AC current and voltage and filtering out unwanted electrical signals. Transformers, also a type of magnetics, are made up of two inductors on a common core of magnetic material. Transformers increase or decrease AC voltage or AC currents. Vishay innovations include IHLP® power inductors, which outperform competing devices. Vishay is a market and technology leader in power inductors and custom magnetics. CAPACITORS Capacitors store energy and discharge it when needed. Applications include power conversion, DC-linking, frequency conversion, bypass, decoupling, and filtering. Types of capacitors manufactured by Vishay Intertechnology include tantalum (solid, wet, and molded polymer), ceramic (both multilayer chip and disc), film, power, heavy-current, aluminum electrolytic, and, most recently, energy storage capacitors. Vishay is a market and technology leader in wet and conformal- coated tantalum capacitors, as well as capacitors for power electronics. Vishay is also one of the largest manufacturers of molded tantalum surface-mount capacitors. 4 5 Vishay Intertechnology Vishay Intertechnology SEMICONDUCTORS MOSFETs Metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) function as solid-state switches to control power. For example, they turn off specific functions of smartphones when these functions are not in use, thereby extending battery life. They also help convert power into levels required by other components. Vishay offers low-voltage TrenchFET® power MOSFETs, medium-voltage power MOSFETs, high-voltage planar MOSFETs, high-voltage Super Junction MOSFETs, and automotive-grade MOSFETs that switch and manage power very efficiently. Vishay is a market and technology leader in low- voltage power MOSFETs. INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (ICs) DIODES Integrated circuits combine the functions of multiple semiconductors and passive components on a single chip. IC products from Vishay are focused on analog signal switching and routing, power conversion, and power management. They are used in end products such as tablet, notebook, and desktop computers; smartphones; fixed telecommunications systems; and other products and systems. The Vishay IC portfolio includes power management and power control ICs, smart load switches, and analog switches and multiplexers. RECTIFIERS Rectifiers are diodes used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), a unidirectional current required for operation of many power electronic systems. For example, a bridge rectifier is used in a phone charger to change the AC voltage from a wall outlet to a specific DC voltage. Vishay rectifiers, including TMBS®, FRED Pt®, HEXFRED®, Superectifier®, eSMP®, and isoCink+™ devices, save space, reduce power losses, and improve efficiency in automotive, industrial, computing, and other applications. Vishay is a market and technology leader in power rectifiers. THYRISTORS, IGBTs, AND POWER MODULES Thyristors, also called silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), are semiconductor components made with four layers of p-n material creating three p-n junctions and mainly used as switches for analog and power signals. Insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) function as high-efficiency electronic switches in industrial motor drives, welders, electric cars, solar inverters, and many modern appliances. IGBTs combine the simple gate-drive of MOSFETs and the high-current, low- saturation voltage of bipolar transistors. Power modules are semiconductor packages that are higher in power density and reliability than standard discrete plastic packages. Several power semiconductor components in die form are typically soldered or sintered on a power electronic substrate inside a power module. Vishay offers a competitive portfolio of thyristors and power modules. Recently, Vishay entered the IGBT market and started to ship 600 V/650 V IGBT wafers to customers. Vishay Intertechnology Vishay Intertechnology Diodes are semiconductor components made with p-n junction technology. Most diodes with single or dual semiconductor p-n junctions are used in a wide range of electronics systems to route, regulate, and block radio frequency (RF), analog, and power signals and also to protect systems from surges or electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. The Vishay diodes portfolio includes a variety of devices including Zener diodes, switching diodes, and PIN diodes, as well as products such as PAR® and TransZorb® diodes for transient voltage suppression (TVS), diodes for ESD protection, and diodes for electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering. Vishay is an industry leader in TVS diodes. INFRARED OPTOELECTRONICS Optoelectronic components emit light, detect light, or do both. Vishay’s broad range of optoelectronic components includes infrared (IR) emitters and detectors; IR remote control receivers; optical sensors for detection; optocouplers and solid-state relays for circuit isolation; LEDs for light sources; 7-segment displays; IR data transceiver modules for wireless, two-way data transfer; and custom products. Vishay is a market and technology leader in infrared components. Discrete semiconductors (including MOSFETs, rectifiers, diodes, and infrared optoelectronics components) typically perform the function of switching, amplifying, rectifying, or transmitting electrical signals. Semiconductors are referred to as “active” components because they require power to function. 5 6 DIVERSE MARKETS Vishay supports customers in virtually every major market sector.
