Geneva, July 23, 2020 -
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor
leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, reported U.S. GAAP financial results for the second
quarter ended June 27, 2020. This press release also contains
non-U.S. GAAP measures (see Appendix for additional
information).
ST reported second quarter net revenues of $2.09
billion, gross margin of 35.0%, operating margin of 5.1%, and net
income of $90 million or $0.10 diluted earnings per share.
Jean-Marc Chery, STMicroelectronics President
& CEO, commented:
- “During the second quarter, we returned to normal
operations, supporting our customers’ demand and continuing to
ensure the health and safety of our employees.
- “Q2 net revenues decreased 6.5% sequentially. As
expected, this was due to the decline in Automotive, Analog and
Imaging products, partially offset by growth in Microcontrollers,
Digital and Power Discrete. Second quarter gross margin includes
310 basis points of unsaturation charges.
- “The first half of 2020 reflects year-over-year growth
of 1.6%, driven by Analog, Imaging and Microcontrollers, partially
offset by Automotive and Power Discrete.
- “Looking at the third quarter, we expect sequential
revenue growth of 17.4% at the mid-point. This growth will be
driven by engaged customer programs, new products and improved
market conditions. Gross margin is expected to be 36.0% at the
mid-point, including about 200 basis points of unsaturation
charges.
- “We will drive the Company based on an updated plan for
FY20 net revenues between $9.25 billion and $9.65 billion
with growth in the second half over the first half
to be in the range of $610 million to $1.01 billion. We expect this
growth to be driven by engaged customer programs, new products and
improved market conditions. Our CAPEX plan for
2020 is now about $1.2 billion.”

Use of Supplemental Non-U.S. GAAP Financial
Information
This press release contains supplemental
non-U.S. GAAP financial information.
Readers are cautioned that these measures are
unaudited and not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should
not be considered as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures.
In addition, such non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may not be
comparable to similarly titled information from other
companies.
See the Appendix of this press release for a
reconciliation of the Company’s non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to
their corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures. To compensate for
these limitations, the supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial
information should not be read in isolation, but only in
conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Forward-looking Information
Some of the statements contained in this release
that are not historical facts are statements of future expectations
and other forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended) that are based on
management’s current views and assumptions, and are conditioned
upon and also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results, performance, or events to differ
materially from those anticipated by such statements, due to, among
other factors:
- changes in global trade policies, including the adoption and
expansion of tariffs and trade barriers, that could affect the
macro-economic environment and adversely impact the demand for our
products;
- uncertain macro-economic and industry trends, which may impact
end-market demand for our products;
- customer demand that differs from projections;
- the ability to design, manufacture and sell innovative products
in a rapidly changing technological environment;
- changes in economic, social, public health, labor, political,
or infrastructure conditions in the locations where we, our
customers, or our suppliers operate, including as a result of
macroeconomic or regional events, military conflicts, social
unrest, labor actions, or terrorist activities;
- unanticipated events or circumstances, which may impact our
ability to execute our plans and/or meet the objectives of our
R&D and manufacturing programs, which benefit from public
funding;
- the Brexit vote and the impact of the withdrawal of the U.K.
may adversely affect business activity, political stability and
economic conditions in the U.K., the Eurozone, the EU and
elsewhere. The U.K. withdrawal from the EU took place on January
31, 2020 and the UK majority government is expected to complete
Brexit even if no formal withdrawal agreement is in place with the
EU by the end of the transition period running until December 31,
2020. The specific terms of the U.K. withdrawal from the EU are
still uncertain and while we do not have material operations in the
U.K. and have not experienced any material impact from Brexit on
our underlying business to date, we cannot predict its future
implications;
- financial difficulties with any of our major distributors or
significant curtailment of purchases by key customers;
- the loading, product mix, and manufacturing performance of our
production facilities and/or our required volume to fulfill
capacity reserved with suppliers or third party manufacturing
providers;
- availability and costs of equipment, raw materials, utilities,
third-party manufacturing services and technology, or other
supplies required by our operations;
- the functionalities and performance of our IT systems, which
are subject to cybersecurity threats and which support our critical
operational activities including manufacturing, finance and sales,
and any breaches of our IT systems or those of our customers or
suppliers;
- theft, loss, or misuse of personal data about our employees,
customers, or other third parties, and breaches of global and local
privacy legislation, including the EU’s General Data Protection
Regulation (“GDPR”);
- the impact of intellectual property (“IP”) claims by our
competitors or other third parties, and our ability to obtain
required licenses on reasonable terms and conditions;
- changes in our overall tax position as a result of changes in
tax rules, new or revised legislation, the outcome of tax audits or
changes in international tax treaties which may impact our results
of operations as well as our ability to accurately estimate tax
credits, benefits, deductions and provisions and to realize
deferred tax assets;
- variations in the foreign exchange markets and, more
particularly, the U.S. dollar exchange rate as compared to the Euro
and the other major currencies we use for our operations;
- the outcome of ongoing litigation as well as the impact of any
new litigation to which we may become a defendant;
- product liability or warranty claims, claims based on epidemic
or delivery failure, or other claims relating to our products, or
recalls by our customers for products containing our parts;
- natural events such as severe weather, earthquakes, tsunamis,
volcano eruptions or other acts of nature, the effects of climate
change, health risks and epidemics such as the novel coronavirus
COVID-19 in locations where we, our customers or our suppliers
operate;
- industry changes resulting from vertical and horizontal
consolidation among our suppliers, competitors, and customers;
and
- the ability to successfully ramp up new programs that could be
impacted by factors beyond our control, including the availability
of critical third party components and performance of
subcontractors in line with our expectations.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to
various risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results and
performance of our business to differ materially and adversely from
the forward-looking statements. Certain forward-looking statements
can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, such
as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “are expected to,” “should,”
“would be,” “seeks” or “anticipates” or similar expressions or the
negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable
terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or
intentions.
Some of these risk factors are set forth and are
discussed in more detail in “Item 3. Key Information — Risk
Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year
ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on February 26,
2020. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those described in this
release as anticipated, believed, or expected. We do not intend,
and do not assume any obligation, to update any industry
information or forward-looking statements set forth in this release
to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial InformationU. S. GAAP –
Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation
The supplemental non-U.S. GAAP information
presented in this press release is unaudited and subject to
inherent limitations. Such non-U.S. GAAP information is not based
on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and
should not be considered as a substitute for U.S. GAAP
measurements. Also, our supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial
information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-U.S. GAAP
measures used by other companies. Further, specific limitations for
individual non-U.S. GAAP measures, and the reasons for presenting
non-U.S. GAAP financial information, are set forth in the
paragraphs below. To compensate for these limitations, the
supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information should not be read
in isolation, but only in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company believes that these non-U.S. GAAP
financial measures provide useful information for investors and
management because they offer, when read in conjunction with the
Company’s U.S. GAAP financials, (i) the ability to make more
meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going
operating results, (ii) the ability to better identify trends
in the Company’s business and perform related trend analysis, and
(iii) to facilitate a comparison of the Company’s results of
operations against investor and analyst financial models and
valuations, which may exclude these items.
Net Financial Position
(non-U.S. GAAP measure)
Net Financial Position, not a U.S. GAAP measure,
represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total
financial debt. Our total financial resources include cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash and short-term
deposits, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt,
including bank overdrafts, and long-term debt, as represented in
our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We believe our Net Financial Position provides
useful information for investors and management because it gives
evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness
or net cash by measuring our capital resources based on cash and
cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits and
marketable securities and the total level of our financial
indebtedness. In addition, our definition of Net Financial Position
may differ from definitions used by other companies and therefore
comparability may be limited.

(1) Tranche A of our 2017 convertible bonds was reclassified to
short-term debt in line with contractual terms.
(2) Long-term debt contains standard conditions but does not
impose minimum financial ratios. Also, committed credit facilities
for $1.1 billion equivalent, including a €500 million long-term
line with the European Investment Bank, are currently undrawn.

Free Cash Flow
(non-U.S. GAAP measure)
Free Cash Flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP
measure, is defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus
(ii) net cash used in investing activities, excluding payment for
purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and
net investment in short-term deposits, which are considered as
temporary financial investments. The result of this definition is
ultimately net cash from operating activities plus payment for
purchase and proceeds from sale of tangible, intangible and
financial assets, proceeds received in the sale of businesses and
cash paid for business acquisitions.
We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful
information for investors and management because it measures our
capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing
activities to sustain our operations. Free Cash Flow does not
represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows
generated by or used in financing activities.
Free Cash Flow reconciles with the total cash
flow and the net cash increase (decrease) by including the payment
for purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities
and net investment in short-term deposits, the net cash from (used
in) financing activities and the effect of changes in exchange
rates. In addition, our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ
from definitions used by other companies.
