Insights

Vishay Precision Group's (VPG) financial results for the fiscal year 2023 indicate a contraction in revenue and net earnings per share, both on a reported and adjusted basis. This contraction could suggest a tightening of market conditions or increased competition. However, the increased gross profit margins, both reported and adjusted, imply improvements in cost management or pricing power. The repayment of the revolving credit facility and the repurchase of stock are signs of strong liquidity and a management team that is confident in the company's intrinsic value. Investors should consider the potential for reduced interest expenses in 2024 due to the debt repayment, which may improve net income margins.

Moreover, the sequential growth in revenue and the record adjusted free cash flow highlight a resilient operational performance despite the year-over-year decline. This resilience, coupled with the expectation of an improved business environment in the second half of 2024, could be a positive signal for future growth prospects. Nevertheless, the decline in bookings and the mixed performance across segments warrant a cautious approach, as it may reflect underlying volatility in demand across VPG's diverse markets.

The reported decrease in Vishay Precision Group's year-over-year revenue and diluted net earnings per share reflects a challenging macroeconomic environment that may have affected the precision measurement industry. The growth in adjusted gross profit margin suggests that VPG has been able to maintain or improve profitability, possibly through operational efficiencies or cost-saving measures. The positive performance in the Sensors segment, with increased gross profit margin, indicates a potential demand stability in the Test and Measurement market, which could be promising for the company's future performance in this area.

However, the decline in orders for the Measurement Systems segment due to the timing of customer projects could point to a cyclical nature of business in this segment, which stakeholders should monitor closely. The company's outlook for improved performance in the second half of 2024 suggests that VPG is expecting a rebound in customer activity, which could be driven by an expanding pipeline of opportunities in precision measurement and sensor technologies.

Vishay Precision Group's financial performance may be influenced by broader economic factors such as foreign exchange rates, which have been mentioned as having a favorable impact on the company's gross profit margin. The repayment of debt and stock repurchases reflect a strategic allocation of capital that could be seen as a positive response to the current low-interest-rate environment. Additionally, the mention of a 'more challenging macro environment' in the latter half of the year indicates that external economic pressures, possibly including trade tensions or market uncertainties, may have impacted the company's performance.

The company's expectation for improvement in the latter half of 2024 could be predicated on assumptions about economic recovery or sector-specific growth trends. However, the reliance on such assumptions necessitates a careful analysis of economic indicators and industry trends to validate these expectations. The company's diversified product offerings across different markets may serve as a hedge against sector-specific downturns, but they also expose the company to a variety of economic risks.

We continued to deploy our capital to create stockholder value in the fourth quarter with $4.7 million of stock repurchases and the $22.0 million repayment of our revolving credit facility that is expected to significantly reduce interest expense in 2024.

Fourth quarter bookings of $75.2 million declined 2.2% sequentially. While orders in our Measurement Systems segment declined due to timing of customer projects, orders in our Sensors and Weighing Solutions segment grew slightly, reflecting a modestly improved business environment.

The Company's fourth fiscal quarter 2023 net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders were $4.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $8.8 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, net earnings attributable to VPG stockholders were $25.7 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, compared to $36.1 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

The fourth fiscal quarter 2023 adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders were $8.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders of $10.4 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders were $29.7 million, or $2.17 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net earnings* attributable to VPG stockholders of $35.9 million, or $2.62 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.

Segment Performance
The Sensors segment revenues of $34.3 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023 decreased 5.7% from the prior year of $36.3 million and increased 5.3% sequentially from $32.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to lower sales of advanced sensors in our Other markets for consumer applications, and in our Avionics, Military and Space ("AMS") market, and in our General Industrial market, which offset higher sales of precision resistors in the Test and Measurement market. Sequentially, the increase in revenues primarily reflected higher precision resistor sales in the Test and Measurement market.

Gross profit margin for the Sensors segment of 40.2% for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023 was higher compared to 37.6% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, and higher compared to 35.9% in the third fiscal quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to favorable foreign exchange rates and improved manufacturing efficiencies, which offset the impact of lower volume. Sequentially, the increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to higher volume and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

The Weighing Solutions segment revenues of $30.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023 decreased 8.0% from $33.1 million in the prior year and increased 5.1% from $29.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decline in revenues was primarily attributable to lower revenues in our Industrial Weighing market and lower revenues from OEM customers for precision agriculture applications in our Other market segment. The sequential increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased revenues from OEM customers for precision agriculture and construction applications in our Other market segment and higher revenue in our General Industrial market, partially offset by lower sales in the Transportation market.   

Gross profit margin for the Weighing Solutions segment was 35.6% for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023, an increase compared to 33.4% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, and a decrease compared to 38.7% in the third fiscal quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to increased selling prices, favorable foreign currency exchange rates, and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by lower volume. Sequentially, the decline in gross profit margin was primarily due to a reduction in inventory and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by higher volume.

The Measurement Systems segment revenues in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023 of $24.8 million decreased 7.5% from $26.8 million in the prior year and increased 2.0% sequentially from $24.4 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2023.   The year-over-year decline in revenues was primarily attributable to lower sales of Dynamic Systems Inc. ("DSI") and KELK products to the steel market and lower sales of Diversified Technical Systems, Inc. ("DTS") products to the Transportation market, which was partially offset by higher sales of DTS products to the AMS market. The sequential increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher sales of DTS products to the AMS market, which was partially offset by lower sales of DSI and KELK products to the Steel market.

Gross profit margin for the Measurement Systems segment was 56.0% for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023, compared to 55.9% (or 56.8% adjusted to exclude the $0.2 million purchasing accounting adjustments related to the DTS acquisition) in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, and compared to 53.6% (or 54.5% adjusted to exclude the $0.2 million of purchasing accounting adjustments related to the DTS acquisition) from the third fiscal quarter of 2023. Year-over-year, the decline in adjusted gross profit margin* was primarily due to lower volume. Sequentially, the higher adjusted gross profit margin* in the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected higher volume and favorable product mix.

Near-Term Outlook
“For the first fiscal quarter of 2024 at constant fourth fiscal quarter 2023 exchange rates, we expect net revenues to be in the range of $80 million to $90 million,” said Mr. Shoshani.
