Second Quarter Review

Second quarter net revenues increased 5.6% sequentially, above the midpoint of the Company’s guidance. Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG) revenues, representing the largest product group of ST, increased 7.5% on a sequential basis driven by a strong recovery in demand for power discrete products and continued and broad-based strength in automotive products. Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group (MDG) increased 4.6% on a sequential basis driven by general purpose microcontrollers and digital ASICs for networking applications. Analog and MEMS Group (AMG) revenues increased sequentially 1.8% driven by analog products partially offset by lower sales of MEMS products. Specialized image sensors, reported in Others, registered a strong sequential revenue growth.

On a year-over-year basis, second quarter net revenues decreased 3.2%, or 1.7% excluding businesses undergoing a phase-out (mobile legacy products, camera modules and set-top box). As anticipated, automotive, including ADAS solutions, and microcontrollers, led by general purpose, continued to be strong, growing revenues about 6% and 4%, respectively, compared to the year-ago quarter. In the second quarter, specialized image sensors posted year-over-year growth. Power discretes, still impacted by weaker market conditions compared to the year-ago period, decreased as did digital reflecting the discontinued product lines. AMG revenues decreased 15.4% compared to the year-ago period mainly due to lower wireless and computer peripheral applications sales.
 
All regions grew revenues sequentially, led by the Americas up by 9.6%, Asia Pacific up by 5.1% and EMEA up by 4.6%. On a year-over-year basis, EMEA grew 4.6% while the Americas and Asia Pacific decreased by 3.6% and 6.7%, respectively.

Second quarter gross profit was $577 million. The gross margin was 33.9%, and included about 45 basis points of unused capacity charges. On a sequential basis, gross margin increased 50 basis points on manufacturing efficiencies and improved product mix partially offset principally by price pressure.

Combined R&D and SG&A expenses were $565 million, decreasing by $6 million on a sequential basis, benefiting from fewer calendar days and the initial benefits of the set-top box restructuring plan, partially offset by unfavorable currency effects, net of hedging, in the second quarter.

Second quarter other income and expenses, net, registered income of $28 million mainly due to R&D funding.

Second quarter operating income before impairment and restructuring charges(1) improved sequentially to $40 million from a loss of $5 million, mainly due to higher revenues and higher gross profit. On a year-over-year basis, operating income improved by $7 million reflecting favorable currency effects, net of hedging, improved product mix, manufacturing efficiencies and lower operating expenses partially offset by lower revenues and lower R&D grants.

Impairment and restructuring charges in the second quarter were $12 million related to the set-top box restructuring plan.

Earnings on equity investments reflected a one-time net income of $9 million in the second quarter. Second quarter net profit was $23 million, equivalent to $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $41 million in the prior quarter and a net income of $35 million in the year-ago quarter, which included a one-time income tax benefit.

First Half 2016 Review

In total, net revenues in the first half 2016 decreased 4.3% to $3.32 billion from $3.47 billion in the 2015 first half, or 2.5% excluding businesses undergoing a phase-out (mobile legacy products, camera modules and set-top box). By product group, ADG was higher by 0.3% on solid growth in automotive products offset to a large measure by lower discrete sales; MDG revenues were flat compared to the year-ago period and AMG decreased 16.2%, principally due to lower sales of MEMS.

Gross margin in the first half 2016 improved to 33.6% from 33.5% in the year-ago period despite lower revenues. Specifically, the 2016 first half gross margin benefited from favorable currency effects, net of hedging, manufacturing efficiencies and lower unused capacity charges substantially offset by price pressure.

First half 2016 operating income before impairment and restructuring charges(1) was $35 million, compared to $43 million in the year-ago period on mixed performances by group and product families. ADG operating performance improved due to both higher revenues and mix improvements in comparison to the year-ago period. MDG operating margin turned positive due to lower sales of low margin set-top box products and the initial savings from the set-top box restructuring plan. However, AMG operating results decreased mainly due to lower sales.

Combined R&D and SG&A expenses were $1.14 billion compared to $1.19 billion in the year-ago period mainly reflecting lower R&D costs due to favorable currency effects, net of hedging, and the benefits of the set-top box restructuring plan and savings plan completed in 2015.

Other income and expenses, net, registered income of $55 million compared to $73 million in the year-ago period mainly due to lower R&D funding.

First half impairment and restructuring charges were $40 million and principally related to the initial phase of the set-top box restructuring plan, compared to $50 million in the year-ago period.

First half of 2016 net loss, as reported, was $18 million, equivalent to negative $0.02 per share, compared to a net income of $12 million, or $0.01 per share in the first half of 2015.


Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

Capital expenditure payments, net of proceeds from sales, were $136 million and $236 million during the second quarter and first half of 2016, respectively. First half 2015 capital expenditures were $250 million.

Inventory was $1.27 billion at quarter end, down 3% from the prior quarter. Inventory in the second quarter of 2016 was at 3.6 turns or 100 days.

The Company paid cash dividends totaling $57 million and $145 million for the second quarter and first half of 2016, respectively.

ST’s net financial position(1) was $426 million at July 2, 2016 compared to $439 million at April 2, 2016. ST’s total financial resources equaled $2.03 billion and total financial debt was $1.60 billion at July 2, 2016.

Total equity, including non-controlling interest, was $4.56 billion at July 2, 2016.


Third Quarter 2016 Business Outlook

Mr. Bozotti commented, “The strategic choices we have made position us for a strong third quarter. Our backlog is currently underpinned by a healthy demand in the markets we serve. This makes us confident we can grow revenues sequentially and, in H2 2016, year-over-year. We expect that in the second half of 2016, power discretes and AMG (Analog and MEMS Group) will restart year-over-year growth and that automotive, microcontrollers and imaging will continue their positive revenue momentum. At the same time we remain vigilant due to the macro-economic uncertainties, especially in Europe, which could impact overall GDP and semiconductor demand.”

“Based on these factors, we anticipate a sequential increase in net revenues by about 5.5% at the mid-point, and the gross margin to be about 35.5% at the mid-point.

The Company expects third quarter 2016 revenues to increase about 5.5% on a sequential basis, plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Gross margin in the third quarter is expected to be about 35.5% plus or minus 2.0 percentage points and reflects unsaturation charges negatively impacting gross margin by about 65 basis points.

This outlook is based on an assumed effective currency exchange rate of approximately $1.12 = €1.00 for the 2016 third quarter and includes the impact of existing hedging contracts. The third quarter will close on October 1, 2016.

Supplemental Financial Information

In the first quarter of 2016, ST realigned its product families into three product groups to better leverage the product synergies around its strategic focus on Smart Driving and Internet of Things applications: Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG); Analog and MEMS Group (AMG) and Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group (MDG). MDG includes ST’s set-top-box business which is currently undergoing a restructuring targeting annualized savings of $170 million upon completion. All prior-period amounts have been retrospectively aligned to the 2016 reporting segments.

Supplemental Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information
U. S. GAAP – Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation
In Million US$ Except Per Share Data

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.

Operating income (loss) before impairment and restructuring charges and one-time items is used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items, such as impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs. Adjusted net earnings and earnings per share (EPS) are used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items like impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs attributable to ST and other one-time items, net of the relevant tax impact.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors and management because they measure the Company’s capacity to generate profits from its business operations, excluding the effect of acquisitions and expenses related to the rationalizing of its activities and sites that it does not consider to be part of its on-going operating results, thereby offering, when read in conjunction with the Company’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) an easier way to compare the Company’s results of operations against investor and analyst financial models and valuations, which usually exclude these items.

Net financial position: resources (debt), 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 short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, all as reported in our consolidated balance sheet. We believe our net financial position provides useful information for investors because it gives evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash position by measuring our capital resources based on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and the total level of our financial indebtedness. Net financial position is not a U.S. GAAP measure.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities minus net cash from (used in) investing activities, excluding payment for purchases (proceeds from the sale of) marketable securities and short-term deposits, restricted cash and net cash variation for joint ventures deconsolidation. 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 operating activities. 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. In addition, our definition of free cash flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.
