Factors relating to our business generally
Our business is cyclical and the periods of decline in demand that we have experienced in the past few years may resume and may become more pronounced.
We have incurred and may continue to incur restructuring costs and associated asset write-downs.
In the past we have grown through acquisitions but this may not continue.
Our debt levels have increased, which could adversely affect the perception in the financial markets of our financial condition.
To remain successful, we must continue to innovate.
Our ability to compete effectively with other companies depends, in part, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology.
We have begun to invest in start-ups but our investments may not prove successful
Future acquisitions could require us to issue additional indebtedness or equity.
Our results are sensitive to raw material availability, quality and cost.
Our backlog is subject to customer cancellation.
We face intense competition in our business, and we market our products to an increasingly concentrated group of customers.
We may not have adequate facilities to satisfy future increases in demand for our products.
Future changes in our environmental liability and compliance obligations may harm our ability to operate or increase costs.
Our products may experience a reduction in product classification levels under various military specifications.
Our future success is substantially dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical, managerial, marketing, finance and administrative personnel.
Factors relating to Vishay s operations outside the United States
We obtain substantial benefits by operating in Israel, but these benefits may not continue.
We attempt to improve profitability by operating in countries in which labor costs are low, but the shift of operations to these regions may entail considerable expense.
We are subject to the risks of political, economic and military instability in countries outside the United States in which we operate.
Our business may be adversely affected by the widespread outbreak of diseases.
