Over the five-year period, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. experienced robust growth in revenue, gross profit, operating income, and net income from 2020 through 2022. Revenue grew significantly from approximately USD 2.50 billion in 2020 to nearly USD 3.50 billion in 2022, representing successive annual increases of about 29.5% and 7.9%. Gross profit followed a similar pattern, rising from USD 581.9 million in 2020 to USD 1.06 billion in 2022, indicating improving production efficiency or favorable pricing conditions in a competitive semiconductor components market. Operating income more than doubled during this period—from USD 209.7 million to USD 615.5 million—and net income notably increased from roughly USD 123 million to USD 429 million, reflecting enhanced profitability and potential economies of scale. However, the performance metrics declined markedly in 2023 and 2024. Revenue fell from USD 3.50 billion in 2022 to USD 3.40 billion in 2023 and further to USD 2.94 billion in 2024, alongside a drastic contraction in gross profit from USD 1.06 billion to USD 626.3 million over the two-year span, a decline of nearly 41% from the 2022 peak. Most strikingly, operating income dropped from USD 615.5 million in 2022 to USD 5.6 million in 2024 while net income swung to a loss of USD 31.2 million. These over 20% year-over-year declines in key profitability metrics suggest significant operational challenges or market headwinds, possibly driven by adverse shifts in demand, increased competition, or rising input costs. Overall, while the company demonstrated strong financial health through 2022, the severe downturn in 2023-2024 raises concerns about the sustainability of its profitability in the near term.
