Business Overview

Our results of operations for each period were as follows:


	Three Months Ended									% Variation
	July 1, 2023			April 1, 2023			July 2, 2022			Sequential		Year Over Year
	(In millions, except per share amounts)

Our total available market is defined as “TAM”, while our serviceable available market is defined as “SAM” and represents the market for products sold by us (i.e., TAM excluding major devices such as microprocessors, DRAM and flash-memories, optoelectronics devices other than optical sensors, video processing and wireless application specific market products, such as baseband and application processors).

Based on industry data published by World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (“WSTS”), on a sequential basis, semiconductor industry revenues in the second quarter of 2023 increased by approximately 4% for our TAM and increased by approximately 5% for our SAM to reach approximately $125 billion and $72 billion, respectively. On a year-over-year basis, our TAM decreased by approximately 17% and our SAM increased by approximately 1%.

Our second quarter 2023 net revenues amounted to $4,326 million, increasing 1.9% sequentially, about 110 basis points better than the mid-point of our released guidance. On a sequential basis, Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG) revenues increased 8.2%, mainly driven by higher sales in both Power Discrete and Automotive. Analog, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (“MEMS”) and Sensors Group (AMS) revenues decreased 11.9%, driven by lower revenues from MEMS, Imaging and Analog. Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group (MDG) revenues increased 4.3%, with all subgroups contributing to the increase.

On a year-over-year basis, second quarter net revenues increased 12.7% with higher sales in ADG and MDG, while AMS revenues decreased. ADG revenues increased 34.4% with both Automotive and Power Discrete

contributing to the increase. AMS revenues decreased 15.7%, mainly driven by Analog and MEMS. MDG revenues increased 13.0% driven by higher sales in RF Communications and General-Purpose Microcontrollers.

Our revenue performance was below the SAM on a sequential basis and above the SAM on a year-over-year basis.

Our effective average exchange rate for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.08 for €1.00, compared to $1.06 in the first quarter of 2023 and $1.12 for €1.00 in the second quarter of 2022. For a more detailed discussion of our hedging arrangements and the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates, see “Impact of Changes in Exchange Rates”.

Our second quarter of 2023 gross profit was $2,119 million and gross margin was 49.0%, in line with the mid-point of our guidance. On a sequential basis, gross margin decreased 70 basis points, mainly due to higher manufacturing costs. Gross margin increased 160 basis points year-over-year, mainly due to product mix, favorable pricing, positive currency effects, net of hedging, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs.

Our aggregated selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) and research & development (“R&D”) expenses amounted to $969 million, compared to $900 million and $855 million in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively. On a sequential and a year-over-year basis, operating expenses increased mainly due to higher cost of labor and negative non-recurring non-cash items.

Other income and expenses, net, amounted to $4 million expense, decreasing by $5 million sequentially. On a year-over-year basis, other income and expenses, net, decreased by $44 million from $40 million income in the comparative period, mainly due to higher start-up costs mainly related to our Agrate 300mm fab.

In the second quarter of 2023, our operating income was $1,146 million, equivalent to 26.5% of net revenues, compared to $1,201 million in the previous quarter (28.3% of net revenues), and to $1,004 million (26.2% of net revenues) in the year-ago quarter. On a sequential basis, operating income was mainly impacted by negative non-recurring non-cash items amounting to $34 million included in operating expenses. On a year-over-year basis, the increase was mainly driven by the combined effect of higher revenues and improved gross margin profitability, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

In the second quarter of 2023, our net cash from operating activities amounted to $1,311 million. Our net cash used in investing activities was at $1,615 million with capital expenditure payments, net of proceeds from sales, capital grants and other contributions at $1,072 million compared to $1,090 million and $809 million during prior and year-ago quarters respectively.

Our free cash flow, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, amounted to $209 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $230 million in the second quarter of 2022. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for the reconciliation of the free cash flow, a non U.S. GAAP measure, to our consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Looking at the third quarter, we expect a revenue increase of approximately 1.1% sequentially, plus or minus 350 basis points. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 47.5%, plus or minus 200 basis points.

This outlook is based on an assumed effective currency exchange rate of approximately $1.10 = €1.00 for the third quarter of 2023 and includes the impact of existing hedging contracts. The third quarter will close on September 30, 2023.

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.

Results of Operations

Segment Information

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 includes the production and sale of both silicon chips and smartcards.

Our reportable segments are as follows:

•Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG), comprised of dedicated automotive integrated circuits (“ICs”), and discrete and power transistor products.

•Analog, MEMS and Sensors Group (AMS), comprised of analog, smart power, MEMS sensors and actuators, and optical sensing solutions.

•Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group (MDG), comprised of general-purpose microcontrollers and microprocessors, connected security products (e.g. embedded secured elements and NFC readers), memories (e.g. serial and page EEPROM) and RF and Communications products.

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, SG&A expenses and a part of R&D expenses. In compliance with our internal policies, certain costs are not allocated to the segments, but reported in “Others”. Net revenues of “Others” include revenues from sales assembly services and other revenues. Operating income (loss) of Others includes items such as unused capacity charges, including reduced manufacturing activity due to COVID-19 and incidents leading to power outage, impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, management reorganization expenses, start-up and phase-out costs of certain manufacturing facilities, and other unallocated expenses such as: strategic or special R&D programs, certain corporate-level operating expenses, patent claims and litigations, and other costs that are not allocated to product groups, as well as operating earnings of other products. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense is part of the manufacturing costs allocated to the 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 cost of sales. Finally, public grants are allocated to our segments proportionally to the incurred expenses on the sponsored projects.

Wafer costs are allocated to the segments based on actual cost. From time to time, with respect to specific technologies, wafer costs are allocated to segments based on market price.

For the second quarter of 2023, ADG operating income was $624 million, increasing sequentially by $47 million mainly driven by higher profitability in Automotive and Power Discrete. AMS operating income was $139 million, decreasing sequentially by $79 million, due to lower profitability in MEMS, Imaging and Analog. MDG operating income increased by $10 million sequentially, reaching $505 million.

ADG operating income increased by $265 million year-over-year reflecting higher profitability in both Automotive and Power Discrete. AMS operating income decreased by $130 million, with MEMS, Imaging and Analog contributing to the decrease. MDG operating income increased by $80 million, driven by Microcontrollers and RF Communications higher profitability.

Income tax expense	$	(359)	$	(268)

During the first six months of 2023, we registered an income tax expense of $359 million, reflecting a 15.0% estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items at consolidated level, applied to the first six months of 2023 consolidated income before income tax.

In the first six months of 2022, we registered an income tax expense of $268 million.

Our tax rate is variable and depends on changes in the level of operating results within various local jurisdictions and on changes in the applicable taxation rates of these jurisdictions, as well as changes in estimates on our tax provisions. Our income tax amounts and rates also depend on our loss carry-forwards and their relevant valuation allowance, which are based on estimated projected plans and available tax planning strategies. In the case of material changes in these plans, the valuation allowance could be adjusted accordingly, with an impact on our income tax expense (benefit). In addition, our annual income tax expense includes the estimated impact of provisions related to potential tax positions which have been considered as uncertain.

Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see Note 27 Contingencies, Claims and Legal Proceedings to our Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 practice, 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 are quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, such as Euro-denominated sales, and consequently 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 our level of revenues when translated into U.S. dollars or the depreciation of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar could decrease our level of revenues when reported in U.S. dollars. Over time and depending on market conditions, the prices in the industry could align to the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars, except that there is a lag between the changes in the currency rate and the adjustment in the price paid in local currency, which is proportional to the amplitude of the currency swing, and such adjustment could be only partial and/or delayed, depending on market demand. 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 Eurozone and other non-U.S. dollar currency areas, including Singapore, our costs tend to increase when translated into U.S. dollars when the U.S. dollar weakens, or to decrease when the U.S. dollar strengthens.

Our principal strategy to reduce the risks associated with exchange rate fluctuations is 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 hedge certain line items on our Consolidated Statements of Income, in particular with respect to a portion of cost of sales, most of R&D expenses and certain SG&A expenses, located in the Eurozone, which we designate as cash flow hedge transactions. We use two different types of hedging instruments: forward contracts and currency options (including collars).

Our Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended July 1, 2023 included income and expense items translated at the average U.S. dollar exchange rate for the period, plus the impact of the hedging contracts settled during the period. Our effective average exchange rate for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.08 for €1.00, compared to $1.06 for €1.00 in the first quarter of 2023 and $1.12 for €1.00 in the second quarter of 2022. These effective exchange rates reflect the actual exchange rates combined with the effect of cash flow hedge transactions impacting earnings 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, depending on currency market circumstances. As of July 1, 2023, the outstanding hedged amounts were €1,739 million to cover manufacturing costs and €753 million to cover operating expenses, at an average exchange rate of approximately $1.11 for €1.00 (considering the collars at upper strike), maturing from July 5, 2023 to August 28, 2024. As of July 1, 2023, measured in respect to the exchange rate at period closing of about $1.09 to €1.00, these outstanding hedging contracts and certain settled contracts covering manufacturing expenses capitalized in inventory resulted in a deferred unrealized gain of approximately $7 million before tax, recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statement of Equity, compared to a deferred unrealized gain of approximately $17 million before tax on December 31, 2022.

We also hedge certain manufacturing costs denominated in Singapore dollars (SGD); as of July 1, 2023, the outstanding hedged amounts were SGD 248 million at an average exchange rate of approximately SGD 1.34 to $1.00 maturing from July 6, 2023 to May 30, 2024. As of July 1, 2023, these outstanding hedging contracts resulted in a deferred unrealized loss of approximately $1 million before tax, recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statement of Equity, compared to a deferred unrealized gain of $6 million dollars on December 31, 2022.

Our cash flow hedging policy is not intended to cover our full exposure and is based on hedging a declining portion of our exposure in the next four quarters. In the second quarter of 2023, as a result of our cash flow hedging, we recycled to earnings a gain of $14 million, of which approximately $8 million impacted cost of sales, $5 million impacted R&D and $1 million impacted SG&A expenses, while in the comparable quarter of 2022, we recorded a loss of $48 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 foreign exchange forward contracts and currency options to cover foreign currency exposure in payables or receivables at our affiliates, which we do not designate for hedge accounting. 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. Furthermore, we may not predict on a timely basis the amount of future transactions in the volatile industry environment. No assurance may be given that our hedging activities will sufficiently protect us against fluctuations 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 in payables and receivables at our affiliates resulted in a net gain of $3 million recorded in “Other income and expenses, net” in our Consolidated Statement of Income for the second quarter of 2023.

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from the U.S. dollar reporting currency 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. These currency translation effects have been, and may 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 currency translation are recorded directly in equity and are reported as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Equity. As of July 1, 2023, our outstanding indebtedness was denominated mainly in U.S. dollars and in Euros.

For a more detailed discussion, see Item 3. “Key Information — 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, short-term deposits and marketable securities, as well as the total interest expense paid on our financial debt.

Our interest income, net, as reported in our Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Income, is the balance between interest income received from our cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities, and interest expense recorded on our financial liabilities, including bank fees (including fees on committed credit lines or on the sale without recourse of receivables, if any). 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 a proportional increase or decrease in our interest income. Our interest expenses are also dependent upon fluctuations in interest rates, since our financial liabilities include European Investment Bank (“EIB”) and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA (“CDP SpA”) Floating Rate Loans at Euribor plus variable spreads. See Note 22 to our Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of July 1, 2023, our total financial resources, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities generated an average annual interest rate of 4.77%. At the same date, the average annual interest rate on our outstanding debt was 1.65%.

Impact of Changes in Equity Prices

As of July 1, 2023, we did not hold any significant investments in equity securities with a material exposure to equity price risk. However, on these equity investments, carrying value could be reduced due to further losses or impairment charges. See Note 19 and Note 21 to our Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Treasury activities are regulated by our policies, which define procedures, objectives and controls. Our 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 as single A long-term rating, meaning at least A3 from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and A- from Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”). 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 an adequate cash position and a low debt-to-equity ratio, to 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 six months of 2023, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $147 million. The components of the net cash variation for the first six months of 2023 and the comparable period are set forth below:


	Six Months ended
	July 1, 2023		July 2, 2022
	(In millions)
Net cash from operating activities	$	2,631	$	2,002

Net cash used in financing activities	(380)		(377)
Effect of changes in exchange rates	2		(5)
Net cash decrease	$	(147)	$	(197)

Net cash from operating activities. Net cash from operating activities is the sum of (i) net income adjusted for non-cash items and (ii) changes in net working capital. The net cash from operating activities for the first six months of 2023 was $2,631 million, increasing compared to $2,002 million in the prior-year period mainly due to higher net income.

Net cash used in investing activities. Investing activities used $2,400 million of cash in the first six months of 2023, increasing compared to $1,817 million used in the prior-year period, mainly due to increased payments for net purchase of tangible assets, which totaled $2,161 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to $1,650 million in the prior-year period, higher purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by higher net proceeds from short-term deposits. Our net capital expenditures in the first six months of 2023 primarily included investments related to 300mm wafer fabs in Crolles and Agrate, and our silicon carbide activities.

Net cash used in financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $380 million for the first six months of 2023, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $377 million in the first six months of 2022, and consisted mainly of $173 million repurchase of common stock, $105 million of dividends paid to stockholders and $93 million repayment of financial debt.

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 purchase of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities, and net investment in (and proceeds from) short-term deposits, which are considered as temporary financial investments. This definition ultimately results in net cash from operating activities plus payment for purchase (and proceeds from sale) of tangible, intangible and financial assets, proceeds from capital grants and other contributions, and net cash paid for business acquisitions.

We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing activities to sustain our operations. Free Cash Flow does not represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows from, or used in, financing activities.

Free Cash Flow Cash Flow reconciles with the total cash flow and the net cash increase (decrease) by including the payment for purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and net investment in (and proceeds from) short-term deposits, the net cash from (used in) financing activities and the effect of changes in exchange rates. Our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies. Free Cash Flow is determined from our Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as follows:

	July 1, 2023		July 1, 2023		July 2, 2022
	(In millions)
Net cash from operating activities	$	1,311	$	2,631	$	2,002
Payment for purchase of tangible assets, net of proceeds from sale and proceeds from capital grants and other contributions	(1,072)		(2,161)		(1,650)
Payment for purchase of intangible assets, net of proceeds from sale	(22)		(46)		(40)
Payment for purchase of financial assets, net of proceeds from sale	(8)		(8)		—

Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measure)(1)	$	209	$	416	$	312

(1) Free Cash Flow can also be expressed as Net cash from operating and investing activities, excluding cash from (used in) marketable securities and short-term deposits.

Free Cash Flow was positive $416 million in the first six months of 2023, compared to positive $312 million in the prior-year period.

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

Our Net Financial Position represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total financial debt. Our total liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt and long-term debt, as reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net Financial Position is not a U.S. GAAP measure, but we believe it provides useful information for investors and management because it gives evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash by measuring our capital resources based on cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities and the total level of our financial debt. Our definition of Net Financial Position may differ from definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Our Net Financial Position for each period is determined from our Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:


	As of
	July 1, 2023		December 31, 2022		July 2, 2022
	(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,111	$	3,258	$	3,028

Short-term deposits	106		581		186
Marketable securities	1,346		679		229
Total liquidity	4,563		4,518		3,443
Short-term debt	(176)		(175)		(134)
Long-term debt	(2,473)		(2,542)		(2,385)
Total financial debt	(2,649)		(2,717)		(2,519)
Net Financial Position (non-U.S. GAAP measure)	$	1,914	$	1,801	$	924

Our Net Financial Position as of July 1, 2023, was $1,914 million, increasing compared to $1,801 million and $924 million as of December 31, 2022 and July 2, 2022 respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3,111 million as of July 1, 2023.

Short-term deposits amounted to $106 million as of July 1, 2023 and consisted of available liquidity with original maturity over three months.

Marketable securities amounted to $1,346 million and consisted of U.S. Treasury Bonds classified as available-for-sale financial assets.

Financial debt was $2,649 million as of July 1, 2023 and was composed of (i) $176 million of short-term debt and (ii) $2,473 million of long-term debt. The breakdown of our total financial debt included (i) $777 million in EIB loans, (ii) $310 million in CDP SpA loans, (iii) $1,496 million in our 2020 Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds, (iv) $62 million in finance leases, and (v) $4 million in loans from other funding programs.

The EIB loans are comprised of three long-term amortizing credit facilities as part of public funding programs. The first, signed in August 2017, is a €500 million loan, in relation to R&D and capital expenditures in the European Union, fully drawn in Euros, of which $325 million was outstanding as of July 1, 2023. The second one, signed in 2020, is a €500 million credit facility agreement with EIB to support R&D and capital expenditure programs in Italy and France. The amount was fully drawn in Euros representing $452 million outstanding as of July 1, 2023. In 2022, the Company signed a third long-term amortizing credit facility with EIB of €600 million, out of which, no amount had been drawn as of July 1, 2023.

The CDP SpA loans are comprised of two long-term credit facilities. The first, signed in 2021, is a €150 million loan, fully drawn in Euros, of which $109 million were outstanding as of July 1, 2023. The second one, signed in 2022, is a €200 million loan, fully drawn in Euros, of which $201 million was outstanding as of July 1, 2023.

On August 4, 2020, we issued a $1.5 billion offering of senior unsecured convertible bonds convertible into new or existing ordinary shares of the Company. The 2020 Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds were issued in two $750 million principal amount tranches, Tranche A with a maturity of 5 years (47.5% conversion premium, negative 1.12% yield to maturity, 0% coupon) and Tranche B with a maturity of 7 years (52.5% conversion premium, negative 0.63% yield to maturity, 0% coupon). The conversion price is $43.62 on Tranche A and $45.10 on Tranche B. The 2020 Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds are convertible by the bondholders if certain conditions are satisfied, on a net-share settlement basis, except if we elect a full-cash or a full-share conversion as an alternative settlement. Proceeds from the issuance of the bonds, net of $10 million transaction costs, amounted to $1,567 million. Long-term debt as of July 1, 2023, reflects the nominal value of the 2020 senior unsecured convertible bonds less $4 million unamortized debt issuance costs, at $1,496 million.

Our long-term debt contains standard conditions but does not impose minimum financial ratios. We had unutilized committed medium-term credit facilities with core relationship banks totaling $1,346 million as of July 1, 2023.

As of July 1, 2023, debt payments at redemption value by period were as follows:


	Payments Due by Period
	Total		2023		2024		2025		2026		2027		Thereafter
	(In millions)
Long-term debt (including current portion)	$	2,654	$	176	$	175	$	925	$	174	$	897	$	307

In the above table, our 2020 Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds are presented at their nominal value with original maturity date of 2025 for Tranche A and 2027 for Tranche B, in line with contractual terms.

Our current ratings with the three major rating agencies that report on us on a solicited basis, are as follows: S&P: “BBB” with positive outlook; Moody’s: “Baa2” with positive outlook; Fitch: “BBB” with stable outlook.

Financial Outlook: Capital Investment

Our policy is to modulate our capital spending according to the evolution of the semiconductor market and our financial performance. For 2023, we plan to invest about $4.0 billion in capital expenditures mainly to increase our 300mm wafer fabs and silicon carbide manufacturing capacity including, for silicon carbide, our substrate initiative.

A large portion of capital expenditures will be devoted to support capacity additions and mix change in our manufacturing footprint, in particular for our wafer fabs: (i) the ramp-up of our new 300mm wafer fab in Agrate, Italy, to support mixed signal technologies and then phase-in smart power technologies and embedded-non-volatile memory at a later stage; (ii) digital 300mm in Crolles, France, to extend the cleanroom and support production ramp-up of our main runner technologies; (iii) certain selected programs of capacity growth in some of our most advanced 200mm fabs, including the analog 200mm fab in Singapore; (iv) increase capacity for silicon carbide products in our Catania and Singapore fabs; and (v) ramping a new integrated silicon carbide substrate manufacturing facility for the production in volume of 150mm, moving to 200mm in the future, silicon carbide epitaxial substrates. The most important 2023 capital investments for our back-end facilities will be: (i) capacity growth on certain package families, including the SiC technology and automotive related packages, (ii) the new generation of Intelligent Power Modules for Automotive and Industrial applications, and (iii) specific investments in innovative assembly processes and test operations.

The remaining part of our capital investment plan covers the overall maintenance and efficiency improvements of our manufacturing operations and infrastructure, R&D activities, laboratories as well as the execution of our carbon neutrality programs.

We will continue to invest to support revenues growth and new products introduction, taking into consideration factors such as trends in the semiconductor industry, capacity utilization and our goal to become carbon neutral on scope 1 and 2 and partially scope 3 by 2027. 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 with 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.

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, share buy-backs as part of our current repurchase program and the repayment of our debt in line with maturity dates.

We will now drive the Company based on a plan for 2023 revenues of $17.4 billion, plus or minus $150 million, and a gross margin exceeding 48.0%.

Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Contingencies

Our contractual obligations, commercial commitments and contingencies are mainly comprised of: long-term purchase commitments for material, equipment and software license, take-or-pay type of agreements to outsource wafers from foundries, commercial agreements with customers, long term debt obligations, pension obligations and other long-term liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of July 1, 2023.

Impact of Recently Issued U.S. Accounting Standards

See Note 5 Recent Accounting Pronouncements to our Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Backlog and Customers

During the second quarter of 2023, our booking plus net frame orders increased compared to the first quarter of 2023. We entered the third quarter of 2023 with a backlog lower than the level we had when entering in the second quarter of 2023. Backlog (including frame orders) is subject to possible cancellation, push back and 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.

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 as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (as amended, 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 certain 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, errors in process flow or delay in communication, control problems 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.

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 risks are set forth and are discussed in more detail in “Item 3. Key Information - Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2023. 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 risks or uncertainties 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.

STMicroelectronics N.V.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.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 semiconductor company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of products, including discrete and general-purpose 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 participates in the manufacturing value chain of smartcard products, which includes the production and sale of both silicon chips and smartcards.

2.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 April 1, its second quarter ended on July 1, its third quarter will end on September 30, and its fourth quarter will end on December 31.

3.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, 2022. 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 share and per-share amounts.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include certain footnotes and financial disclosures normally required on an annual basis under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2023.

4.Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 allowances and returns,

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

•recognition and measurement of loss contingencies,

•valuation at fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on business acquisitions, and measurement of any contingent consideration,

•annual and trigger-based impairment review of goodwill and intangible assets, as well as the assessment of events which could trigger impairment testing on long-lived assets,

F-9

•assessment of the Company’s long-lived assets economic useful lives,

•assumptions used in measuring expected credit losses and impairment charges on financial assets,

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

•assumptions used in calculating net defined pension benefit obligations and other long-term employee benefits,

•determination of the amount of tax expected to be paid and tax benefit expected to be received, 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.

5.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not adopt in 2023 any new accounting guidance that would have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. The Company’s financial statements are not expected to be significantly impacted by any accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective and not early adopted by the Company.

6.Other Income and Expenses, Net

Other income and expenses, net consisted of the following:


	Three Months ended		Six Months ended
	July 1, 2023	July 2, 2022	July 1, 2023	July 2, 2022
Public funding	27	39	52	102
Start-up and phase-out costs	(34)	(1)	(67)	(1)
Exchange gains (losses), net	3	5	3	7
Patent costs	(2)	(1)	(5)	(4)
Gain on sale of non-current assets	4	2	5	2
COVID-19 incremental costs	—	(3)	—	(8)
Other, net	(2)	(1)	(2)	(2)
Total	(4)	40	(14)	96

The Company receives public funding from governmental bodies in several jurisdictions.

Start-up costs represent costs incurred in the ramp-up phase of the Company’s newly integrated manufacturing facilities. Phase-out costs are costs incurred during the closing stage of a Company’s manufacturing facility.

Exchange gains and losses, net represent the portion of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary’s functional currency and the changes in fair value of derivative instruments which are not designated as hedges, as described in Note 28.

Patent costs mainly 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.

F-10

COVID-19 incremental costs are mainly composed of incremental expenses primarily related to sanitary measures undertaken to protect employees. Starting January 1, 2023, the Company no longer reports Covid-19 related expenses as a component of the line “Other income and expenses, net” in the consolidated statement of income.

7.Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net consisted of the following:


	Three Months ended		Six Months ended
	July 1, 2023	July 2, 2022	July 1, 2023	July 2, 2022
Income	51	9	98	12
Expense	(18)	(3)	(28)	(5)
Total	33	6	70	7

Interest income is related to cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, and marketable securities held by the Company.

Interest expense included the financial cost of the convertible bonds issued by the Company in 2020, which is limited to the amortization expense of debt issuance costs. The amortization expense of debt issuance costs recorded in the first six months of 2023 was $1 million compared to $1 million in the first six months of 2022.

8.Income Taxes

Income tax expense is as follows:

(171)

(139)

(359)

(268)

The annual estimated effective tax rate method was applied, as management believes it provides a reliable estimate of the expected yearly income tax expense on an interim basis. The Company registered an income tax expense of $171 million and $359 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, reflecting a 15.0% estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items at consolidated level, applied to the consolidated profit before tax.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses the recoverability of deferred tax assets and 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 assessing whether the tax benefit must be recognized. The second step consists in measuring the amount of tax benefit to be recognized on each uncertain tax position. In step one, only tax positions with a sustainability threshold higher than 50% are recognized. In step two, the Company determines the amount of recognizable tax benefit. 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% likely of being realized upon settlement with the tax authorities.

9.Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to parent company stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding and the dilutive effect of equity instruments, such as employee stock awards and the shares underlying the Company’s convertible bonds. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted EPS.


	Three Months ended		Six Months ended
	July 1, 2023	July 2, 2022	July 1, 2023	July 2, 2022
