Critical Accounting Policies Using Significant Estimates

There were no material changes in the first three months of 2014 to the information provided under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies Using Significant Estimates” included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Fiscal Year

Under Article 35 of our Articles of Association, our financial year extends from January 1 to December 31, which is the period end of each fiscal year. The first quarter of 2014 ended on March 29, 2014. The second quarter and third quarter of 2014 will end on June 28 and September 27, respectively. The fourth quarter of 2014 will end on December 31, 2014. Based on our fiscal calendar, the distribution of our revenues and expenses by quarter may be unbalanced due to a different number of days in the various quarters of the fiscal year and can also differ from equivalent prior years’ periods. There were 88 days in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 89 days in the first quarter of 2013 and 94 days in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Business Overview

Our results of operations for each period were as follows:

	Three Months Ended									% Variation
	March 29, 2014			Dec 31, 2013			March 30, 2013			Sequential			Year-Over-Year

The total available market is defined as the “TAM”, while the serviceable available market, the “SAM”, is defined as the market for products produced by us (which consists of the TAM and excludes major devices such as Microprocessors (“MPUs”), DRAMs, optoelectronics devices, Flash Memories and the Wireless Application Specific market (Broadband and Application Processor)).

Based on the most recently published estimates by WSTS, semiconductor industry revenues increased in the first quarter of 2014 on a year-over-year basis by approximately 11% for the TAM and 9% for the SAM to reach approximately $79 billion and $36 billion, respectively. Sequentially, in the first quarter of 2014, the TAM decreased by approximately 2% while the SAM was basically flat.

In the first quarter, the combination of a positive macro-economic environment and our leading-edge product portfolio helped to drive higher year-over-year revenues in microcontrollers, automotive, industrial and power, as well as in the Distribution channel. Our general-purpose microcontroller business enjoyed the fourth consecutive quarter of record revenues, and today, based on the IHS iSuppli CLT report published in March 2014, ST is the second largest player worldwide in both general-purpose and secure microcontrollers.

First quarter 2014 revenues amounted to $1,825 million, a 9.2% decrease on a year-over-year basis. Sense & Power and Automotive Products (SP&A) segment revenues increased by about 6% primarily due to growth in Automotive and Industrial & Power Discrete. Embedded Processing Solutions (EPS) segment revenues decreased by approximately 28% mainly due to the phasing-out of the legacy ST-Ericsson products and weak performance in Digital Convergence Group product line, only partially offset by solid growth in microcontrollers. Excluding legacy ST-Ericsson products, our revenues increased by 0.7%. Sequentially, we registered a 9.4% decrease, which was in line with the 9.5% decrease at the mid-point of our guidance. Compared to the served market, our performance was below the SAM both on a year-over-year and sequential basis. For a detailed description of our segments, see “Results of Operations—Segment Information” below.

Our effective average exchange rate for the first quarter of 2014 was $1.35 for €1.00 compared to $1.31 for €1.00 for the first quarter of 2013 and $1.34 for €1.00 in the fourth quarter of 2013. For a more detailed discussion of our hedging arrangements and the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates, see “Impact of Changes in Exchange Rates” below.

Our first quarter 2014 gross margin was 32.8% of revenues, compared to the 32.4% mid-point of our guidance, and decreasing sequentially by 10 basis points, reflecting decreasing selling prices and manufacturing inefficiencies, partially offset by a more favorable product mix and the positive impact of licensing revenues. On a year-over-year comparison, our first quarter 2014 gross margin improved by 150 basis points, mainly due to improved manufacturing efficiencies, higher licensing revenues, lower unused capacity charges and a more favorable product mix, partially offset by the negative impact of selling prices.

Our combined selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) costs amounted to $606 million, decreasing by about 25% compared to $812 million in the prior-year quarter mainly due to the ST-Ericsson exit and ongoing cost reduction initiatives. On a sequential basis, operating expenses decreased by about 8% compared to $656 million in the prior quarter, benefiting from our cost savings initiatives and a shorter calendar.

First quarter other income & expenses, net, registered income of $15 million mainly benefiting from the sale of business totaling $13 million and $21 million of R&D grants. These R&D grants do not include the Nano2017 R&D grants, pending European Union approval now expected in the second quarter 2014.

Impairment and restructuring charges significantly decreased to $12 million from $101 million in the prior-year quarter which had been primarily impacted by $86 million impairment and restructuring charges related to ST-Ericsson restructuring plans.

Our operating losses were $4 million in the first quarter of 2014 improving from a loss of $281 million in the first quarter of 2013 and a loss of $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The improvement in our operating losses compared to the prior-year quarter was mainly due to the savings in our operating expenses and lower amounts of impairment and restructuring charges. Our strong and growing product momentum in our Sense & Power and Automotive segment translated into an operating margin improvement of 360 basis points in this segment compared to the year-ago quarter. In our Digital Convergence business, we made progress in building the pipeline to sustain its future turnaround; design-win momentum for our latest ARM-based client and server portfolio for HEVC and ultra-HD set-top-box continued during the quarter, as well as for our FD-SOI based IC solutions.

We are encouraged by the signs of improvement in the macro-economic environment generally and by specific product dynamics expected in the next several quarters. In the second quarter, we see opportunities to continue to expand our customer base, driven by strength in microcontrollers, automotive and industrial and power applications and by the initial recovery in revenues of the Embedded Processing Solutions segment.

In the second quarter, we expect overall revenues to increase sequentially by about 2% at the mid-point. As anticipated, legacy ST-Ericsson products are winding down and revenues are expected to be less than half of the $63 million recorded in the first quarter. Gross margin in the second quarter is expected to be about 33.6%, plus or minus 2.0 percentage points.

In addition, we see opportunities to further advance ST’s leadership in key embedded processing solutions and technologies with the approval of the Nano2017 R&D program expected this quarter.

This outlook is based on an assumed effective currency exchange rate of approximately $1.36 = €1.00 for the 2014 second quarter and includes the impact of existing hedging contracts. The second quarter will close on June 28, 2014.

These are forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially; in particular, refer to those known risks and uncertainties described in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 3. “Key Information — Risk Factors” in our Form 20-F as may be updated from time to time in our SEC filings.

Other Developments

On April 28, 2014, we announced the appointment of Mr. Jean-Marc Chery as Chief Operating Officer. In this new role, Mr. Jean-Marc Chery will continue to hold overall responsibility for Embedded Processing Solutions, for which he serves as Executive Vice President and General Manager, as well as for central manufacturing operations including Packaging and Test Manufacturing. He will also continue in his role of Vice Chairman of our Corporate Strategic Committee and will continue to report to Carlo Bozotti, President and Chief Executive Officer.

On April 28, 2014, we announced the main resolutions to be submitted for shareholder adoption at our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders which will be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on June 13, 2014. The main resolutions, proposed by the Supervisory Board, include:

The distribution of a cash dividend of US$0.10 in the second quarter of 2014, and of US$0.10 in the third quarter of 2014, per common share, to be paid in June and September of 2014, respectively, to shareholders of record in the month of each quarterly payment. The amount of the proposed second and third quarter of 2014 cash dividend is stable with respect to previous quarterly dividend distributions;

The appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V.as our external auditor for the 2014 and 2015 financial years.

On April 30, 2014, we announced the appointment of Mr. Paul Grimme as Executive Vice President, Mass Market and Online Marketing Programs, a new position created to coordinate the sales & marketing activities in this strategic and growing area for the company. He will continue to report to Carlo Bozotti, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Paul Cihak takes over from Mr. Paul Grimme as Executive Vice President and General Manager, Sales & Marketing, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Mr. Bob Krysiak, Executive Vice President and President for the Americas Region, joins the Corporate Strategic Committee replacing Mr. Paul Grimme in his role.

In April 2014, we signed a strategic agreement with a top-tier foundry for 28-nm FD-SOI technology. This agreement expands the ecosystem and assures the industry of high-volume production of our FD-SOI based IC solutions. Our unique FD-SOI technology is well on its way to becoming a significant revenue generator for 2015 and beyond and strengthens the business and financial prospects of our EPS segment. This agreement includes certain commitments from both parties, out of which we committed to purchase a number of FD-SOI wafers after the qualification of the technology under terms to be defined between parties.

In the first quarter of 2014, we obtained a favorable ruling in Switzerland on the transfer of the majority of ST-Ericsson deductible operating losses. In addition, ST-Ericsson JVS entered into liquidation on April 15, 2014.

Results of Operations

Segment Information

We operate in two business areas: Semiconductors and Subsystems.

In the Semiconductors business area, we design, develop, manufacture and market a broad range of products, including discrete and standard commodity components, application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), full-custom devices and semi-custom devices and application-specific standard products (“ASSPs”) for analog, digital and mixed-signal applications. In addition, we further participate in the manufacturing value chain of Smartcard products, which include the production and sale of both silicon chips and Smartcards.

In 2014, our segments are as follows:

Sense & Power and Automotive Products (SP&A), including the following product lines:

Automotive (APG);

Industrial & Power Discrete (IPD);

Analog & MEMS (AMS); and

Other SP&A;

Embedded Processing Solutions (EPS), comprised of the following product lines:

Digital Convergence Group (DCG);

Imaging, BI-CMOS ASIC and Silicon Photonics (IBP);

Microcontroller, Memory & Secure MCU (MMS); and

Other EPS.

In 2014, we revised our revenues by product line from prior periods following the reclassification of Image Signal Processor business (about $11 million in revenues in the first quarter of 2014) from IBP product line to DCG product line. In addition, the Wireless former product line has been reclassified into the DCG product line. We believe that the revised 2013 revenues presentation is consistent with that of 2014 and we use these comparatives when managing our company.

In the Subsystems business area, we design, develop, manufacture and market subsystems and modules for the telecommunications, automotive and industrial markets including mobile phone accessories, battery chargers, ISDN power supplies and in-vehicle equipment for electronic toll payment. Based on its immateriality to our business as a whole, the Subsystems business area does not meet the requirements for a reportable segment as defined in the guidance on disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. All the financial values related to Subsystems including net revenues and related costs, are reported in the segment “Others”.

The following tables present our consolidated net revenues and consolidated operating income (loss) by product segment. For the computation of the segments’ internal financial measurements, we use certain internal rules of allocation for the costs not directly chargeable to the segments, including cost of sales, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and a part of research and development (“R&D”) expenses. In compliance with our internal policies, certain cost items are not charged to the segments, including impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, unused capacity charges, phase-out and start-up costs of certain manufacturing facilities, certain one-time corporate items, strategic and special R&D programs or other corporate-sponsored initiatives, including certain corporate-level operating expenses and certain other miscellaneous charges. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense is part of the manufacturing costs allocated to the product segments and is neither identified as part of the inventory variation nor as part of the unused capacity charges; therefore, it cannot be isolated in the costs of goods sold.

Year-over-year comparison

Our first quarter 2014 net revenues decreased by 9.2% as a result of an approximate 6% decrease in average selling prices and 3% lower volume. The decrease in average selling prices resulted from a pure pricing effect down by approximately 5% and a less favorable product mix partially due to the phase-out of legacy ST-Ericsson products. Excluding legacy ST-Ericsson products, our revenues increased by 0.7%. First quarter 2014 net revenues benefited from a one-time licensing revenue of $15 million in AMS following the settlement with InvenSense of all pending proceedings. Under the terms of the patent cross license agreement with InvenSense, we will collect royalties in the future which are not expected to be material to our financial results.

By product segment, our revenues were down by approximately 28% in EPS, while SP&A registered an increase of approximately 6%. Within the SP&A segment, APG and IPD revenues increased by about 16% and 3% respectively while AMS registered a decline of approximately 3%. Within EPS, DCG sales including legacy ST-Ericsson products registered a decline of approximately 59% while MMS and IBP increased by about 16% and 7% respectively.

By market channel, our revenues registered a major increase in Distribution, whose share of total revenues was up by approximately 5%, reaching 30% of our total revenues.

By location of shipment, all regions dropped mostly due to the phase-out of legacy ST-Ericsson products except Greater China-South Asia which increased by approximately 1%.

In the first quarter of 2014, no customer exceeded 10% of our total net revenues.

Sequential comparison

On a sequential basis, our revenues decreased by 9.4%, mainly due to seasonal effect and phasing-out of legacy ST-Ericsson products, in line with our quarterly guidance. The sequential decrease resulted from an approximate 11% decrease in units sold partially offset by an increase in average selling prices.

By product segment, both SP&A and EPS decreased their revenues by approximately 4% and 19% respectively. Within EPS segment, legacy ST-Ericsson products sales decreased by about 52%.

By market channel, the first quarter of 2014 showed a sequential improvement for Distribution from the 27% share registered in the fourth quarter of 2013.

By location of shipment, revenues were down in all regions.

In the first quarter of 2014, we recorded $12 million of impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, mainly due to the following:

$10 million restructuring charges related to our headcount reduction initiative targeting quarterly net operating expenses in the range of $600 to $650 million by the beginning of 2014 (“plan 600” initiative); and

$2 million restructuring charges related to the manufacturing consolidation plans.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we recorded $29 million of impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, of which: $20 million restructuring charges related to our “plan 600”, a $5 million impairment charge on Veredus as a result of the reclassification of its assets as Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2013, $2 million restructuring charges related to the manufacturing consolidation plans and $2 million related to other restructuring initiatives.

In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded $101 million of impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, of which: $82 million impairment and restructuring charges related to the ST-Ericsson exit, $14 million restructuring charges related to our “plan 600”, $4 million restructuring charges related to the previously announced ST-Ericsson restructuring plans, and $1 million restructuring charges in relation to our Digital restructuring plan announced in October 2012.

The first quarter 2014 registered an operating loss of $4 million compared to an operating loss of $281 million in the year-ago quarter and an operating loss of $11 million in the prior quarter. Compared to the year-ago period, the improvement in our operating results was mainly due to the savings in operating expenses and lower amounts of impairment and restructuring charges.

Our SP&A segment reported an increase in its operating income compared to the year-ago period. Our EPS segment decreased its operating losses due to the exit from the ST-Ericsson joint venture. The segment “Others” decreased its losses to $28 million, from $129 million in the year-ago period, mainly driven by a lower amount of impairment and restructuring charges.

Impact of Changes in Exchange Rates

Our results of operations and financial condition can be significantly affected by material changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies, particularly the Euro.

As a market rule, the reference currency for the semiconductor industry is the U.S. dollar and the market prices of semiconductor products are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. However, revenues for some of our products (primarily our dedicated products sold in Europe) are quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and as such are directly affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar. As a result of currency variations, the appreciation of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar could increase, in the short-term, our level of revenues when reported in U.S. dollars. Revenues for all other products, which are either quoted in U.S. dollars and billed in U.S. dollars or in local currencies for payment, tend not to be affected significantly by fluctuations in exchange rates, except to the extent that there is a lag between the changes in currency rates and the adjustments in the local currency equivalent of the price paid for such products. Furthermore, certain significant costs incurred by us, such as manufacturing costs, SG&A expenses, and R&D expenses, are largely incurred in the currency of the jurisdictions in which our operations are located. Given that most of our operations are located in the Euro zone and other non-U.S. dollar currency areas, including Singapore, our costs tend to increase when translated into U.S. dollars when the dollar weakens or to decrease when the U.S. dollar strengthens.

In summary, as our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, exchange rate fluctuations affect our results of operations: in particular, if the U.S. dollar weakens, our results are negatively impacted since we receive a limited part of our revenues, and more importantly, we incur a significant part of our costs, in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. On the other hand, our results are favorably impacted when the dollar strengthens. The impact on our accounts could therefore be material, in the case of a material variation of the U.S. dollar exchange rate.

Our principal strategy to reduce the risks associated with exchange rate fluctuations has been to balance as much as possible the proportion of sales to our customers denominated in U.S. dollars with the amount of materials, purchases and services from our suppliers denominated in U.S. dollars, thereby reducing the potential exchange rate impact of certain variable costs relative to revenues. Moreover, in order to further reduce the exposure to U.S. dollar exchange fluctuations, we have hedged certain line items on our Consolidated Statements of Income, in particular with respect to a portion of the costs of goods sold, most of the R&D expenses and certain SG&A expenses, located in the Euro zone, which we account for as cash flow hedging contracts. We use three different types of hedging contracts, consisting of forward contracts, collars and options.

Our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 29, 2014 included income and expense items translated at the average U.S. dollar exchange rate for the period, plus the impact of the hedging contracts expiring during the period. Our effective average exchange rate was $1.35 for €1.00 for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.31 for €1.00 in the first quarter of 2013 and $1.34 for €1.00 in the fourth quarter of 2013. These effective exchange rates reflect the actual exchange rates combined with the impact of cash flow hedging contracts that matured in the period.

The time horizon of our cash flow hedging for manufacturing costs and operating expenses may run up to 24 months, for a limited percentage of our exposure to the Euro and under certain currency market circumstances. As of March 29, 2014, the outstanding hedged amounts were €534 million to cover manufacturing costs and €423 million to cover operating expenses, at an average exchange rate of about $1.3872 for €1.00 and $1.3839 for €1.00 (considering the options and collars at strike), maturing over the period from April 1, 2014 to January 5, 2015. As of March 29, 2014, these outstanding hedging contracts and certain expiring contracts covering manufacturing expenses capitalized in inventory represented a deferred profit of approximately $20 million before tax, recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Equity, compared to a deferred profit of approximately $39 million before tax at December 31, 2013.

We also hedge certain manufacturing costs denominated in Singapore dollars (SGD); as of March 29, 2014, the outstanding hedged amounts were SGD 139 million at an average exchange rate of about SGD 1.2625 to $1.00 maturing over the period from April 3, 2014 to March 5, 2015. As of March 29, 2014, these outstanding hedging contracts and certain expiring contracts covering manufacturing expenses capitalized in inventory did not result in any deferred result.

Our cash flow hedging policy is not intended to cover our full exposure and is based on hedging a portion of our exposure in the next four quarters and a declining percentage of our exposure in each quarter thereafter. In the first quarter of 2014, as a result of our cash flow hedging, we recorded a net profit of $12 million, consisting of a profit of about $5 million to R&D expenses, a profit of about $6 million to costs of goods sold and a profit of $1 million to SG&A expenses, while in the first quarter of 2013, we recorded a net profit of $17 million.

In addition to our cash flow hedging, in order to mitigate potential exchange rate risks on our commercial transactions, we purchase and enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency options to cover foreign currency exposure in payables or receivables at our affiliates, which we account for as fair value instruments. We may in the future purchase or sell similar types of instruments. See Item 11. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Form 20-F, which may be updated from time to time in our public filings. Furthermore, we may not predict in a timely fashion the amount of future transactions in the volatile industry environment. No assurance may be given that our hedging activities will sufficiently protect us against declines in the value of the U.S. dollar. Consequently, our results of operations have been and may continue to be impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates. The net effect of our consolidated foreign exchange exposure resulted in a net loss of $1 million recorded in “Other income and expenses, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the first quarter of 2014.

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are, for consolidation purposes, translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate. Income and expenses, as well as cash flows, are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The balance sheet impact, as well as the income statement and cash flow impact, of such translations have been, and may be expected to be, significant from period to period since a large part of our assets and liabilities and activities are accounted for in Euros as they are located in jurisdictions where the Euro is the functional currency. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded directly in equity, and are shown as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Equity. At March 29, 2014, our outstanding indebtedness was denominated mainly in U.S. dollars and in Euros.

For a more detailed discussion, see Item 3. “Key Information — Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Operations” in our Form 20-F, which may be updated from time to time in our public filings.

Impact of Changes in Interest Rates

Interest rates may fluctuate upon changes in financial market conditions and material changes can affect our results of operations and financial condition, since these changes can impact the total interest income received on our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, as well as the total interest expense paid on our financial debt.

Our interest income (expense), net, as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Income, is the balance between interest income received from our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities investments and interest expense paid on our financial liabilities (including the sale without recourse of receivables) and bank fees (including fees on committed credit lines). Our interest income is dependent upon fluctuations in interest rates, mainly in U.S. dollars and Euros, since we invest primarily on a short-term basis; any increase or decrease in the market interest rates would mean an equivalent increase or decrease in our interest income. Our interest expenses are also dependent upon fluctuations in interest rates, since our financial liabilities mainly consist of European Investment Bank Floating Rate Loans at Libor and Euribor plus variable spreads.

At March 29, 2014, our total financial resources, including cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, generated an average interest income rate of 0.33%. At the same date, the average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 0.96%.

Impact of Changes in Equity Prices

As of March 29, 2014, we did not hold any significant equity participations, which could be subject to a material impact in changes in equity prices. However, we hold equity participations whose carrying value could be reduced due to further losses or impairment charges of our equity-method investments. See Note 17 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Treasury activities are regulated by our policies, which define procedures, objectives and controls. The policies focus on the management of our financial risk in terms of exposure to currency rates and interest rates. Most treasury activities are centralized, with any local treasury activities subject to oversight from our head treasury office. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. dollars and Euros and are placed with financial institutions rated at least a single A long-term rating, meaning at least A3 from Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”) and A- from Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or better. Marginal amounts are held in other currencies. See Item 11. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Form 20-F, which may be updated from time to time in our public filings.

Cash flow

We maintain a significant cash position and a low debt-to-equity ratio, which provide us with adequate financial flexibility. As in the past, our cash management policy is to finance our investment needs mainly with net cash generated from operating activities.

During the first quarter of 2014, our net cash decreased by $92 million, due to the net cash used in investing and financing activities exceeding the net cash from operating activities.

The components of our cash flow for the comparable periods are set forth below:

	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013
	(In millions)
Net cash from operating activities	$	53		$	66
Net cash used in investing activities		(39	)		(81	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(105	)		(481	)
Effect of changes in exchange rates		(1	)		(36	)
Net cash decrease	$	(92	)	$	(532	)

Net cash from operating activities. Net cash from operating activities is the sum of (i) net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and (ii) changes in net working capital. The net cash from operating activities in the first quarter of 2014 was $53 million, decreasing compared to $66 million in the prior-year quarter. Net cash from operating activities in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the year-ago quarter benefited from a reduced net loss adjusted for non-cash items, which was more than offset by the unfavorable changes in net working capital, mainly due to the negative impact of trade receivables and other assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities. Investing activities used $39 million of cash in the first quarter of 2014, mainly due to payments for the purchase of tangible and intangible assets, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of marketable securities and the proceeds received in sale of businesses. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities compared to the prior-year quarter ($81 million) was primarily due to the proceeds received in sale of businesses for $19 million and the lower amount of payments for the purchase of intangible and financial assets. Payments for purchase of tangible assets, net of proceeds, totaled $112 million compared to $111 million registered in the prior-year quarter.

Net cash used in financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $105 million in the first quarter of 2014 decreasing compared to the $481 million used in the first quarter of 2013 due to the $455 million repayment of the residual outstanding 2013 Senior Bonds. The first quarter 2014 amount included $85 million in dividends paid to stockholders compared to $89 million in the prior-year quarter.

Free Cash Flow (non U.S. GAAP measure).

We also present Free Cash Flow, which is a non U.S. GAAP measure, defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus (ii) net cash used in investing activities, excluding payment for purchases (and proceeds from the sale) of marketable securities, 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 and proceeds received in sale of businesses. We believe Free Cash Flow, a non U.S. GAAP measure, 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 is not a U.S. GAAP measure and 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 (and proceeds from the sale) of marketable securities and net cash variation from joint ventures deconsolidation, 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. Free Cash Flow is determined as follows from our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013

_____________

(1) Reflects the total of the following line items reconciled with our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows relating to the investing activities: Payment for purchase of tangible assets, Proceeds from sale of tangible assets, Payment for purchase of intangible assets, Payment for purchase of financial assets, Proceeds from sale of financial assets, Proceeds received in sale of businesses.

Free Cash Flow was negative $51 million in the first quarter of 2014, improving compared to negative $65 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Net Financial Position (non U.S. GAAP measure).

Our Net Financial Position represents the balance between our total financial resources and our total financial debt. Our total financial resources include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, short-term deposits and restricted cash, and our total financial debt includes bank overdrafts, short-term debt and long-term debt, as represented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net Financial Position is not a U.S. GAAP measure but we believe it provides useful information for investors 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 and marketable securities and the total level of our financial indebtedness. Our Net Financial Position for each period has been determined as follows from our Consolidated Balance Sheets:

	As at
	March 29, 2014			December 31, 2013			March 30, 2013
	(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,744		$	1,836		$	1,718

Short-term debt		(225	)		(225	)		(250	)
Long-term debt		(908	)		(928	)		(647	)
Total financial debt		(1,133	)		(1,153	)		(897	)
Net Financial Position	$	612		$	741		$	1,013

Our Net Financial Position as of March 29, 2014 was a net cash position of $612 million, decreasing compared to the net cash position of $741 million at December 31, 2013, as a result of our negative Free Cash Flow and dividends payment.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1,744 million as at March 29, 2014, as a result of our cash flow evolution as presented above.

Financial debt was $1,133 million as at March 29, 2014, composed of (i) $225 million of current portion of long-term debt and (ii) $908 million long-term debt. The breakdown of our total financial debt included: (i) $1,112 million in European Investment Bank loans (the “EIB Loans”), (ii) $19 million in loans from other funding programs, and (iii) $2 million of capital leases. The EIB Loans are comprised of four long-term amortizing credit facilities as part of our R&D funding programs. The first for R&D in France was drawn in U.S. dollars from 2006 to 2008 for a total amount of $341 million, of which $78 million remained outstanding as of March 29, 2014. The second for R&D projects in Italy, was drawn in U.S. dollars in 2008 for a total amount of $380 million, of which $163 million remained outstanding as of March 29, 2014. The third, signed in 2010, is a €350 million multi-currency loan to support our industrial and R&D programs. It was drawn mainly in U.S. dollars for an amount of $321 million and only partially in Euros for an amount of €100 million, of which the equivalent of $400 million remained outstanding as of March 29, 2014. The fourth, signed in the first quarter of 2013, is a €350 million multicurrency loan which also supports our R&D programs. It was drawn in U.S. dollars for an amount of $471 million. At March 29, 2014, the amounts available under our short-term lines of credit were unutilized.

Our long-term debt contains standard conditions, but does not impose minimum financial ratios.

On December 19, 2013, Moody’s lowered our senior debt rating from “Baa2” to “Baa3” with stable outlook.

On December 18, 2012, S&P lowered our senior debt rating from “BBB+” to “BBB” with negative outlook.

We are also rated “BBB-” from Fitch on an unsolicited basis.

As of March 29, 2014, debt payments due by period were as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
	Total		2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter

Long-term debt (including current portion)	$	1,133	$	205	$	205	$	195	$	119	$	117	$	292

Financial Outlook: Capital Investment

Our policy is to modulate our capital spending according to the evolution of the semiconductor market. Based on current visibility on demand, we anticipate our capital expenditure to be approximately $510-550 million in 2014, to be adjusted based on demand thereafter. The most important of our 2014 capital expenditure projects are expected to be: (a) for our front-end facilities: (i) in our 300-mm fab in Crolles, technology evolution to consolidate the capability for 20-nm processes and mix evolution to support the production ramp up of new technologies for microcontrollers and automotive advanced products; (ii) a few selective programs of mix evolution, mainly in the area of analog processes; (iii) qualification of technologies in 200-mm in Singapore and Catania; and (iv) quality, safety, maintenance, and productivity and cost savings investments in both 150-mm and 200-mm front-end fabs; (b) for our back-end facilities, capital expenditures will mainly be dedicated to: (i) capacity growth on certain package families, to sustain market demand; (ii) modernization and rationalization of package lines targeting cost savings benefits; and (iii) specific investments in the areas of factory automation, quality, environment and energy savings; and (c) an overall capacity adjustment in final testing and wafers probing (EWS) to meet increased demand and changed product mix.

We will continue to monitor our level of capital spending by taking into consideration factors such as trends in the semiconductor industry and capacity utilization. We expect to need significant financial resources in the coming years for capital expenditures and for our investments in manufacturing and R&D. We plan to fund our capital requirements from cash provided by operating activities, available funds and support from third parties, and may have recourse to borrowings under available credit lines and, to the extent necessary or attractive based on market conditions prevailing at the time, the issuance of debt, convertible bonds or additional equity securities. A substantial deterioration of our economic results, and consequently of our profitability, could generate a deterioration of the cash generated by our operating activities. Therefore, there can be no assurance that, in future periods, we will generate the same level of cash as in prior years to fund our capital expenditure plans for expanding/upgrading our production facilities, our working capital requirements, our R&D and manufacturing costs.

In support of our R&D activities, we signed with the French Government a funding program called “Nano2017”, which will provide funding for our activities in the region of Grenoble, over the period 2013 to 2017, subject to obtaining approval from the European Union.

We have an equity investment in 3Sun. We are currently evaluating our strategy and multiple scenarios are being considered. We currently foresee that there may be a need to provide additional financial resources to 3Sun. In the event of a withdrawal by one of our partners, our financial support could cover up to 50% of the required funding.

Furthermore, as a result of the exit from the ST-Ericsson joint venture, our exposure is limited to covering 50% of ST-Ericsson needs to complete the wind-down, which are estimated not to exceed $30 million.

We believe that we have the financial resources needed to meet our currently projected business requirements for the next twelve months, including capital expenditures for our manufacturing activities, working capital requirements, approved dividend payments and the repayment of our debts in line with their maturity dates.

Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Contingencies

Our contractual obligations, commercial commitments and contingencies are mainly comprised of: operating leases for land, buildings, plants and equipment; purchase commitments for equipment, outsourced foundry wafers and for software licenses; long-term debt obligations; pension obligations and other long-term liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements at March 29, 2014.

Impact of Recently Issued U.S. Accounting Standards

See Note 5 Recent Accounting Announcements to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Backlog and Customers

During the first quarter of 2014, our bookings plus frames orders declined compared to the fourth quarter 2013, reflecting seasonality (a shorter calendar and Chinese New Year seasonal holidays in Asia) and lower demand at some of the major wireless customers. The two segments, Sense & Power and Automotive and Embedded Processing Solutions experienced similar bookings decline. Notwithstanding the decline in bookings plus net frames orders, we entered the second quarter 2014 with a backlog higher than the level we had when entering the first quarter 2014 mainly due to robust demand for automotive and microcontrollers. Backlog (including frame orders) is subject to possible cancellation, push back and a lower ratio of frame orders being translated into firm orders and, thus, it is not necessarily indicative of the amount of billings or growth to be registered in subsequent periods.

In the first quarter of 2014, no customer exceeded 10% of our total net revenues. There is no guarantee that any customer will continue to generate revenues for us at the same levels as in prior periods. If we were to lose one or more of our key customers, or if they were to significantly reduce their bookings, not confirm planned delivery dates on frame orders in a significant manner or fail to meet their payment obligations, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this periodic report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our quarterly evaluation of Disclosure Controls includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting, and internal control over financial reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis.

The evaluation of our Disclosure Controls included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and their effect on the information generated for use in this periodic report. In the course of the controls evaluation, we reviewed identified data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and sought to confirm that appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation is performed at least on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the CEO and CFO, concerning the effectiveness of the Disclosure Controls can be reported in our periodic reports on Form 6-K and Form 20-F. The components of our Disclosure Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by our Internal Audit Department, which reports directly to our Audit Committee. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls, and to modify them as necessary. Our intent is to maintain the Disclosure Controls as dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant.

Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this periodic report, our Disclosure Controls were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

No system of internal control over financial reporting, including one determined to be effective, may prevent or detect all misstatements. It can provide only reasonable assurance regarding financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of the results of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting into future periods are subject to inherent risk that the relevant controls may become inadequate due to changes in circumstances or that the degree of compliance with the underlying policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Other Reviews

We have sent this report to our Audit Committee, which had an opportunity to raise questions with our management and independent auditors before we submitted it to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this Form 6-K that are not historical facts, particularly in “Business Overview” and in “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Outlook: Capital Investment”, 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:

uncertain macro-economic and industry trends;

customer demand and acceptance for the products which we design, manufacture and sell;

unanticipated events or circumstances, which may either impact our ability to execute the planned reductions in our net operating expenses and / or meet the objectives of our R&D programs, which benefit from public funding;

government and/or European Union regulatory decisions regarding funding for our R&D programs;

the loading and the manufacturing performance of our production facilities;

the functionalities and performance of our IT systems, which support our critical operational activities including manufacturing, finance and sales;

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 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;

restructuring charges and associated cost savings that differ in amount or timing from our estimates;

changes in our overall tax position as a result of changes in tax laws, 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;

the outcome of ongoing litigation as well as the impact of any new litigation to which we may become a defendant;

natural events such as severe weather, earthquakes, tsunami, volcano eruptions or other acts of nature, health risks and epidemics in locations where we, our customers or our suppliers operate;

changes in economic, social, political, or infrastructure conditions in the locations where we, our customers, or our suppliers operate, including as a result of macro-economic or regional events, military conflict, social unrest, or terrorist activities; and

availability and costs of raw materials, utilities, third-party manufacturing services, or other supplies required by our operations.

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” in our Form 20-F. 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 our Form 20-F 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 Form 6-K to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Unfavorable changes in the above or other factors listed under “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors” from time to time in our SEC filings, could have a material adverse effect on our business and/or financial condition.

STMicroelectronics N.V.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company

STMicroelectronics N.V. (the “Company”) is registered in The Netherlands with its corporate legal seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and its corporate headquarters located in Geneva, Switzerland.

The Company is a global independent semiconductor company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of semiconductor integrated circuits (“ICs”) and discrete devices. The Company offers a diversified product portfolio and develops products for a wide range of market applications, including automotive products, computer peripherals, telecommunications systems, consumer products, industrial automation and control systems. Within its diversified portfolio, the Company is focused on developing products that leverage its technological strengths in creating customized, system-level solutions with digital and mixed-signal content.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Interim periods are established for accounting purposes on a thirteen-week basis.

The Company’s first quarter ended on March 29, 2014, its second quarter will end on June 28 and its third quarter will end on September 27. Its fourth quarter will end on December 31.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied for the year ended December 31, 2013. The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

All balances and values in the current and prior periods are in millions of U.S. dollars, except shares and per-share amounts.

The accompanying Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include certain footnotes and financial presentation normally required on an annual basis under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 5, 2014.

F-6

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The primary areas that require significant estimates and judgments by management include, but are not limited to:

sales returns and allowances,

inventory obsolescence reserves and normal manufacturing capacity thresholds to determine costs capitalized in inventory,

provisions for litigation and claims and recognition and measurement of loss contingencies,

valuation at fair value of assets acquired or sold, including intangibles, goodwill, investments and tangible assets,

annual and trigger-based impairment review of goodwill and intangible assets, as well as an assessment, in each reporting period, of events, which could trigger interim impairment testing on long-lived assets,

estimated value of the consideration to be received and used as fair value for asset groups classified as assets held for sale and the assessment of probability of realizing the sale,

assessment of other-than-temporary impairment charges on financial assets, including equity-method investments,

restructuring charges and other related exit costs,

assumptions used in assessing the number of awards expected to vest on stock-based compensation plans,

assumptions used in calculating pension obligations, and

determination of the income tax expenses estimated on the basis of the projected tax amount for the full year, including deferred income tax assets, valuation allowance and provisions for uncertain tax positions and claims.

The Company bases the estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors such as market trends, market information used by market participants and the latest available business plans that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. While the Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions, the actual results experienced by the Company could differ materially and adversely from those estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations, cash flows and financial position could be significantly affected.

F-7

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements effective in 2014

In March 2013, the FASB issued new guidance on obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. An entity should recognize the respective portion of the obligation it agrees to pay among its co-obligors and assess any additional amounts it expects to pay related to amounts borrowed by its co-obligors applying the measurement principles of the contingencies model under ASC 450. Enhanced disclosures similar to those required for financial guarantees will be required for those obligations. The Company adopted the new guidance in 2014, which did not have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB issued clarified guidance on whether, when and how to release cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) into earnings in various deconsolidation and consolidation transactions. Complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign entity is required to release CTA for transactions occurring within a foreign entity. Transactions impacting investments in the foreign entity may result in a full or partial release of CTA even though complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity has not occurred. For transactions involving step acquisitions, the CTA associated with the previous equity-method investment will be fully released when control is obtained and consolidation occurs. The Company adopted the guidance in 2014 and the guidance did not have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company

In April 2014, the FASB issued new guidance which redefines discontinued operations by changing the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results”. A strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. The guidance also enhances disclosure requirements and adds new disclosures for individually material dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for new disposals or new classifications as held for sale that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The new guidance significantly changes current practice for assessing discontinued operations and affects income and earnings per share from continuing operations. The Company will adopt the guidance when effective.

Other Income and Expenses, Net

Other income and expenses, net consisted of the following:

	Three months ended
In millions of U.S. dollars	March 29, 2014	March 30, 2013

Research and development funding	21	10
Phase-out and start-up costs	(3)	-
Exchange gain (loss), net	(1)	3
Patent costs	(13)	(7)
Gain on sale of businesses and non-current assets	13	-
Other, net	(2)	(2)

Total Other income and expenses, net	15	4

The Company receives significant public funding from governmental agencies in several jurisdictions. Public funding for research and development is recognized ratably as the related costs are incurred once the agreement with the respective governmental agency has been signed and all applicable conditions have been met.

Phase-out costs are costs incurred during the closing stage of a Company’s manufacturing facility. They are treated in the same manner as start-up costs. Start-up costs represent costs incurred in the start-up and testing of the Company’s new manufacturing facilities, before reaching the earlier of a minimum level of production or six months after the fabrication line’s quality certification.

Exchange gains and losses included in “Other income and expenses, net” represent the portion of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency and the changes in fair value of trading derivative instruments which are not designated as hedge and which have a cash flow effect related to operating transactions, as described in Note 24.

Patent costs include legal and attorney fees and payment for claims, patent pre-litigation consultancy and legal fees. They are reported net of settlements, if any, which primarily include reimbursements of prior patent litigation costs.

Gain on sale of businesses and non-current assets is mostly related to the sale of businesses associated with the Smart Connectivity Business (Display Port products).

Manufacturing consolidation

In July 2013, the Company announced that it will wind down certain 6-inch manufacturing lines and consolidate back-end activities in China to Shenzhen. As part of this restructuring plan, the Company recorded in the first quarter of 2014 $2 million in restructuring charges corresponding to employee termination benefits.

Total impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs

The Digital restructuring plan was expected to result in a total pre-tax charge of $25 million to $30 million including impairment charges totalling $9 million. Restructuring charges amounting to $16 million have been incurred as of March 29, 2014. The plan was substantially completed in 2013.

The $600-650 million net opex plan resulted in a $98 million charge incurred as of March 29, 2014. The plan is expected to be completed in 2014.

The Manufacturing consolidation plan resulted in a $10 million charge incurred as of March 29, 2014. The plan is expected to be completed in 2015.

Upon the ST-Ericsson deconsolidation as of September 1, 2013, all the ST-Ericsson restructuring plans have been deconsolidated by the Company.

The total actual costs that the Company will incur may differ from these estimates based on the timing required to complete the restructuring plan, the number of people involved, the final agreed termination benefits and the costs associated with the transfer of equipment, products and processes.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is based on the weighted average cost by adjusting standard cost to approximate actual manufacturing costs on a quarterly basis; the cost is therefore dependent on the Company’s manufacturing performance. In the case of underutilization of manufacturing facilities, the costs associated with the excess capacity are not included in the valuation of inventories but charged directly to cost of sales.

Reserve for obsolescence is estimated for excess uncommitted inventories based on the previous quarter’s sales, backlog of orders and production plans.

ST-Ericsson SA (“JVS”)

On February 3, 2009, the Company announced the closing of a transaction to combine the businesses of Ericsson Mobile Platforms and ST-NXP Wireless into a new venture, named ST-Ericsson. As part of the transaction, the Company received an interest in ST-Ericsson Holding AG (parent of “JVS” group of companies) in which the Company owned 50% plus a controlling share. In 2010, ST-Ericsson Holding AG was merged in ST-Ericsson SA.

The Company evaluated that JVS was a variable interest entity. The Company determined that it controlled JVS and therefore consolidated JVS.

On September 9, 2013, the Company sold 1 JVS share to Ericsson for its nominal value changing the ownership structure of JVS to bring both partners to an equal ownership proportion. As a result and in combination with the new shareholder agreement, the Company lost the control of JVS and as such JVS was deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements. The deconsolidation of JVS did not result in a gain or loss for the Company. The fair value of the Company’s retained noncontrolling interest was evaluated at $55 million. Due to the loss pick-up recognized since the deconsolidation, the value of the investment amounted to $43 million as of March 29, 2014. In addition, the Company and its partner signed funding commitment letters, capped at $149 million for each partner, to the residual joint wind-down operations to ensure solvency. These were not drawn as of March 29, 2014.

Before the deconsolidation of JVS, certain assets and companies of the JVS group of companies were transferred to both partners for their net book value which was representative of their fair value. The transactions did not result in cash exchange between the partners.

F-18

JVS entered into liquidation on April 15, 2014.

In the first three months of 2014, the line “Loss on equity-method investments” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income included a charge of $7 million related to JVS.

3Sun S.r.l. (“3Sun”)

3Sun is a joint initiative between Enel Green Power, Sharp and the Company for the manufacture of thin film photovoltaic panels in Catania, Italy. Each partner owns a third of the common shares of the entity. The Company has determined that 3Sun is not a VIE. However the Company exercises a significant influence over 3Sun and consequently accounts for its investment in 3Sun under the equity-method. The line “Loss on equity-method investments” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income included a charge of $1 million related to 3Sun. As of March 29, 2014, the Company’s current maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with 3Sun is limited to its equity-method investment that amounted to $13 million and a shareholder’s loan amounting to $18 million, and further conditional commitments for up to $8.4 million (€6.1 million).

Cost-method investments

Cost-method investments as at March 29, 2014 are equity securities with no readily determinable fair value. It mainly includes the Company’s investment in DNP Photomask Europe S.p.A (“DNP”). The Company has identified the joint venture as a VIE, but has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary. The significant activities of DNP revolve around the creation of masks and development of high level mask technology. The Company does not have the power to direct such activities. The Company’s current maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the joint venture is limited to its investment. The Company has not provided additional financial support in the first quarter of 2014 and currently has no requirement or intent to provide further financial support to the joint venture.

Post Employment and Other Long-term Employee Benefits

The Company and its subsidiaries have a number of defined benefit pension plans, mainly unfunded, and other long-term employees’ benefits covering employees in various countries. The defined benefit plans provide pension benefits based on years of service and employee compensation levels. The other long-term employees’ plans provide benefits due during the employees’ period of service after certain seniority levels. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its plans. Eligibility is generally determined in accordance with local statutory requirements. For the Italian termination indemnity plan (“TFR”), generated before July 1, 2007, the Company continues to measure the vested benefits to which Italian employees are entitled as if they left the company immediately as of March 29, 2014, in compliance with U.S. GAAP guidance on determining vested benefit obligations for defined benefit pension plans.

As of March 29, 2014, the Company owned a number of treasury shares equivalent to 20,020,855.

23.

Contingencies, Claims and Legal proceedings

The Company is subject to possible loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. These include but are not limited to: warranty cost on the products of the Company, breach of contract claims, claims for unauthorized use of third-party intellectual property, tax claims beyond assessed uncertain tax positions as well as claims for environmental damages. In determining loss contingencies, the Company considers the likelihood of impairing an asset or the incurrence of a liability at the date of the financial statements as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss. The Company records a provision for a loss contingency when information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly reevaluates claims to determine whether provisions need to be readjusted based on the most current information available to the Company. Changes in these evaluations could result in an adverse material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or its financial position for the period in which they occur.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses all material open income tax positions in all tax jurisdictions to determine any uncertain tax position. The Company uses a two-step process for the evaluation of uncertain tax positions. The first step consists in determining whether a benefit may be recognized; the assessment is based on a sustainability threshold. If the sustainability is lower than 50%, a full provision should be accounted for. In case of a sustainability threshold in step one higher than 50 percent, the Company must perform a second step in order to measure the amount of recognizable tax benefit, net of any liability for tax uncertainties. The measurement methodology in step two is based on a “cumulative probability” approach, resulting in the recognition of the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. There was no major change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the first three months of 2014 with respect to uncertainties about a certain tax treatment not yet validated with the relevant fiscal authorities. All unrecognized tax benefits would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. Interest and penalties recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as at March 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and in the consolidated statements of income for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 are not material.

F-22

The Company is subject from time to time to tax audits in various jurisdictions; unfavorable outcomes of any ongoing tax audits could have a material impact on the Company’s future tax provisions in the periods in which these changes could occur.

The Company has received and may in the future receive communications alleging possible infringements of third party patents or other third party intellectual property rights. Furthermore, the Company from time to time enters into discussions regarding a broad patent cross license arrangement with other industry participants. There is no assurance that such discussions may be brought to a successful conclusion and result in the intended agreement. The Company may become involved in costly litigation brought against the Company regarding patents, mask works, copyrights, trademarks or trade secrets. In the event that the outcome of any litigation would be unfavorable to the Company, the Company may be required to take a license to third party patents and/or other intellectual property rights at economically unfavorable terms and conditions, and possibly pay damages for prior use and/or face an injunction, all of which individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, financial position and/or ability to compete.

The Company is otherwise also involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings incidental to its business and operations.

Litigation with Tessera

In 2006, Tessera initiated a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company and numerous other semiconductor manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Tessera claims that the Company’s ball grid array packages infringe certain patents owned by Tessera, and that the Company breached a 1997 license agreement by failing to pay royalties to Tessera on sales of products in certain ball grid array packages. Tessera then filed a complaint in 2007 with the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, D.C. (“ITC”) against the Company and numerous other parties. During the ITC proceedings, the District Court action was stayed. On May 20, 2009, the ITC issued a limited exclusion order as well as a cease and desist order, both of which were terminated when the Tessera patents expired in September 2010. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit subsequently affirmed the ITC’s decision and on November 28, 2011 the U.S. Supreme Court denied the defendants’ petition for review, and the ITC decision became final. In January 2012, the District Court proceedings were revived in California. In May 2013, Tessera served its opening expert’s report on damages which opines that Tessera is entitled to $181 million in damages (including interest) based on the Company’s sales of allegedly infringing products from 2000 through 2010. The Company’s opening expert’s report on damages opines that the Company’s damages should be more in the range of $5 million to $8 million if an adverse judgment were to be entered against the Company. On March 14, 2014, the Court appointed independent technical expert, Dr. Reinhold Dauskardt, issued a report opining that the patents–in–suit were invalid and that Tessera had failed to meet its burden of proof regarding infringement of the patents-in suit by the Company’s accused ball grid array packages. Trial is scheduled for November 10, 2014.

F-23

The resolution of litigation proceedings which the Company faces, including the matters referred to above, involve complex questions of fact and law. The results of legal proceedings are uncertain. Adverse determination in any of these types of disputes may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results and operations. The Company currently estimates that possible losses for known claims are in the range of $10 million to $30 million.

Other Contingencies

The Company regularly evaluates claims and legal proceedings together with their related probable losses to determine whether they need to be adjusted based on the current information available to the Company. There can be no assurance that its recorded reserves will be sufficient to cover the extent of its potential liabilities. Legal costs associated with claims are expensed as incurred. In the event of litigation which is adversely determined with respect to the Company’s interests, or in the event the Company needs to change its evaluation of a potential third-party claim, based on new evidence or communications, a material adverse effect could impact its operations or financial condition at the time it were to materialize. As of March 29, 2014, provisions for estimated probable losses with respect to claims and legal proceedings were not considered material.

24.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business due to its operations in different foreign currencies and its ongoing investing and financing activities. The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is foreign currency exchange risk.

Foreign currency exchange risk

Currency forward contracts and currency options are entered into to reduce exposure to changes in exchange rates on the denomination of certain assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the Company’s subsidiaries and to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with certain forecasted transactions.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as a Hedge

The Company conducts its business on a global basis in various major international currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily with respect to the Euro. Foreign exchange risk mainly arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities in the Company’s subsidiaries. Management has set up a policy to require the Company’s subsidiaries to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Company through financial instruments transacted or overseen by Corporate Treasury. To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities, the Company’s subsidiaries use forward contracts and purchased currency options. Foreign exchange risk arises from exchange rate fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. These instruments do not qualify as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and are marked-to-market at each period-end with the associated changes in fair value recognized in “Other income and expenses, net” in the consolidated statements of income.

F-24

Cash Flow Hedge

To further reduce its exposure to U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations, the Company hedges through the use of currency forward contracts and currency options, including collars, certain Euro-denominated forecasted intercompany transactions that cover at reporting date a large part of its research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses as well as a portion of its front-end manufacturing costs of semi-finished goods. The Company also hedges through the use of currency forward contracts certain forecasted manufacturing transactions denominated in Singapore dollars.

These derivative instruments are designated as and qualify for cash flow hedge. They are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The criteria for designating a derivative as a hedge include the instrument’s effectiveness in risk reduction and, in most cases, a one-to-one matching of the derivative instrument to its underlying transaction, which enables the Company to conclude, based on the fact that the critical terms of the hedging instruments match the terms of the hedged transactions, that changes in cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to be completely offset by the hedging derivatives. Currency forward contracts and currency options, including collars, used as hedges are effective at reducing the Euro/U.S. dollar and the Singapore dollar/U.S. dollar currency fluctuation risk and are designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis, over the duration of the hedge relationship. Effectiveness on transactions hedged through purchased currency options and collars is measured on the full fair value of the instrument, including the time value of the options. Ineffectiveness appears if the hedge relationship is not perfectly effective or if the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative hedging instrument exceeds the cumulative change on the expected cash flows on the hedged transactions. The gain or loss from the effective portion of the hedge is reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the consolidated statements of equity and is reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and within the same consolidated statement of income line item as the impact of the hedged transaction. When a designated hedging instrument is either terminated early or an improbable or ineffective portion of the hedge is identified, or when it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” is recognized immediately in earnings.

The principles regulating the hedging strategy for derivatives designated as cash flow hedge are established as follows: (i) for R&D and Corporate costs, up to 80% of the total forecasted transactions; (ii) for manufacturing costs, up to 70% of the total forecasted transactions. The maximum length of time over which the Company could hedge its exposure to the variability of cash flows for forecasted transactions is 24 months.

F-25

As at March 29, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding derivative instruments that were entered into to hedge Euro-denominated and Singapore dollar-denominated forecasted transactions:

In millions of Euros	Notional amount for hedge on forecasted R&D and other operating expenses	Notional amount for hedge on forecasted manufacturing costs

Forward contracts	141	176
Currency options	-	19
Currency collars	282	339

In millions of Singapore dollars	Notional amount for hedge on forecasted R&D and other operating expenses	Notional amount for hedge on forecasted manufacturing costs

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Company analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Since almost all the liquidity of the Company is invested in floating rate instruments, the Company’s interest rate risk arises from the mismatch of fixed rate liabilities (which are currently not material) and floating rate liquid assets.

Other market risk

As part of its ongoing investing activities, the Company may be exposed to equity security price risk. In order to hedge the exposure to this market risk, the Company may enter into certain hedging transactions.

The methodologies used to estimate fair value are as follows:

Foreign exchange forward contracts, currency options and collars

The fair value of these instruments is estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments.

Equity securities classified as available-for-sale

The fair values of these instruments are estimated based upon market prices for the same instruments.

Trading equity securities

The fair value of these instruments is estimated based upon quoted market prices for the same instruments.

Equity securities carried at cost

The non-recurring fair value measurement is based on the valuation of the underlying investments on a new round of third party financing or upon liquidation.

Long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt

The fair value of bank loans was determined by estimating future cash flows on a borrowing-by-borrowing basis and discounting these future cash flows using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank overdrafts, short-term borrowings, and accounts payable

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of the instruments and their expected realization.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates in two business areas: Semiconductors and Subsystems.

In the Semiconductors business area, the Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of products, including discrete and standard commodity components, application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), full custom devices and semi-custom devices and application-specific standard products (“ASSPs”) for analog, digital and mixed-signal applications. In addition, the Company further participates in the manufacturing value chain of Smartcard products, which includes the production and sale of both silicon chips and Smartcards.

In the Subsystems business area, the Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets subsystems and modules for the telecommunications, automotive and industrial markets including mobile phone accessories, battery chargers, ISDN power supplies and in-vehicle equipment for electronic toll payment. Based on its immateriality to its business as a whole, the Subsystems business area does not meet the requirements for a reportable segment as defined in the U.S. GAAP guidance. All the financial values related to Subsystems including net revenues and related costs, are reported in the segment “Others”.

The Company’s segments in 2014 are as follows:

Sense & Power and Automotive Products (SP&A), including:

Automotive (APG),

Industrial & Power Discrete (IPD),

Analog & MEMS (AMS), and

Other SP&A,

Embedded Processing Solutions (EPS), comprised of:

Digital Convergence Group (DCG),

Imaging, BI-CMOS ASIC and Silicon Photonics (IBP),

Microcontroller, Memory & Secure MCU (MMS), and

Other EPS.

In 2014, the Company revised the revenues by product line from prior periods following the reclassification of Image Signal Processor business from IBP product line to DCG product line. In addition, the Wireless former product line has been reclassified into the DCG product line. The Company believes that the revised 2013 revenues presentation is consistent with that of 2014 and uses these comparatives when managing the company.

F-32

The following tables present the Company’s consolidated net revenues and consolidated operating income (loss) by product segment. For the computation of the segments’ internal financial measurements, the Company uses certain internal rules of allocation for the costs not directly chargeable to the segments, including cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and a part of research and development expenses. In compliance with the Company’s internal policies, certain cost items are not charged to the segments, including impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, unused capacity charges, phase-out and start-up costs of certain manufacturing facilities, certain one-time corporate items, strategic and special research and development programs or other corporate-sponsored initiatives, including certain corporate-level operating expenses and certain other miscellaneous charges. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense is part of the manufacturing costs allocated to the product segments and is neither identified as part of the inventory variation nor as part of the unused capacity charges; therefore, it cannot be isolated in the costs of goods sold.
