STMicroelectronics Reports 2004 First Quarter Revenues and
Earnings
o First quarter net revenues were $2.03 billion
o Gross margin was 35.4%
o Strong sequential growth in revenues and gross margin expected for
2004 second quarter
Geneva, April 21, 2004 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) reported financial
results for the first quarter ended March 27, 2004.
First Quarter 2004 Financial Results
- ------------------------------------
Net revenues for the first quarter were $2,029 million, 25.4% above the $1,618
million of last year's first quarter, and down 4.0% sequentially from the $2,113
million reported in the prior quarter. Revenues from differentiated products
were $1,371 million or 67.6% of net revenues for the 2004 first quarter.
Gross profit was $718 million, 26.9% above last year's first quarter gross
profit of $566 million, and a 5.5% sequential decrease from the prior quarter's
$760 million. Gross margin was 35.4%, compared to 35.0% reported for last year's
first quarter, and the 36.0% of the prior quarter.
Pasquale Pistorio, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "For the
first time, ST's first quarter revenues exceeded the $2 billion mark. As
anticipated, overall market demand partially offset the seasonality that
generally affects our first quarter revenue performance,
1
although we did experience some shipment delays at the end of the period. Gross
margin, however, was somewhat higher than our initial expectations, benefiting
from a more stable pricing environment for certain product families and
manufacturing efficiencies."
In the 2004 first quarter, research and development expenses were $363 million,
28.3% above the $283 million reported in the comparable year-ago period, and
2.5% above the $354 million expended in the prior quarter. R&D costs represented
17.9% of net revenues in the 2004 first quarter compared to 17.5% of net
revenues in the year ago quarter, and 16.8% of net revenues in the prior
quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $230 million for the 2004
first quarter, 32.2% above the $174 million incurred in the comparable year-ago
period, and 0.9% above the prior quarter's $228 million. As a percentage of net
revenues SG&A expenses increased to 11.3%, from 10.8% in last year's first
quarter and 10.8% in the prior quarter.
For ST, the average sequential increase in the value of the Euro versus the U.S.
dollar in the 2004 first quarter was approximately 7%. This particularly
affected ST's reported R&D and SG&A costs, which are primarily Euro-denominated.
Mr. Pistorio noted, "R&D spending increased in both absolute dollars and as a
percentage of revenues in the first quarter, reflecting an acceleration of our
investments in new product development, which is likely to continue for the next
several quarters. The more modest increase in SG&A expenses is primarily related
to new marketing programs that we established in 2003, and that have been
successful in building our sales volume with a broader group of key customers."
Operating income was $80 million in the 2004 first quarter, including $33
million of impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs,
compared to $124 million reported in the prior year's first quarter. Operating
income in the 2003 fourth quarter was $153 million, which included $12 million
in impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs.
In March 2004, the Company received a new tax ruling in one of its
jurisdictions, which will affect future periods. The related change in deferred
tax liability was recognized in the 2004 first quarter and resulted in a one
time tax benefit of $13 million.
Net income equaled $77 million in the 2004 first quarter, compared to $79
million in last year's first quarter and $144 million in the 2003 fourth
quarter. Earnings per diluted share were $0.08 for the 2004 first quarter,
including charges, compared to $0.09 in the 2003 first quarter, which included a
one-time pre-tax charge of $8 million related to Bond repurchases. Earnings per
diluted share were $0.16 in the 2003 fourth quarter, including charges.
Summarizing, Mr. Pistorio said, "ST's year-over-year quarter revenue performance
benefited from strong gains in all key product families and applications. On a
sequential basis, modest revenue increases were posted by Micro and Memories and
Discretes; Automotive was up about 10%; other applications showing sequential
growth included: Wireline, Printers, Imaging and Industrial. Flash memory
product sales were $277 million, flat with fourth quarter 2003 levels, and up
83% from las t year's first quarter."
"Profitability for the period, however, was constrained by lower gross margin,
the reduced value of the U.S. dollar and higher R&D and SG&A expenditures," Mr
Pistorio said.
2
"Additionally," he noted, "first quarter earnings were penalized by impairment,
restructuring charges and related closure costs of $33 million relating to our
previously announced 6-inch restructuring plan."

Outlook
- -------
Looking ahead, Mr. Pistorio commented, "We expect to report strong sequential
growth in revenues and gross margin in the 2004 second quarter. Based upon
backlog data and order flow, we anticipate that second quarter revenues will
increase from 6% to 12% on a sequential basis, which translates into
year-over-year growth of between 26% and 33%. The market segments driving this
growth should include Automotive, Consumer, and Industrial. Also, Flash memory
product sales are expected to post a solid sequential increase."
"Importantly," Mr. Pistorio noted, "second quarter gross margin is expected to
be approximately 37%, benefiting from higher revenue levels, manufacturing
efficiencies, and an improved pricing environment."
Mr. Pistorio added, "All indications are that order rates for ST products will
continue strong throughout 2004. In response to current industry dynamics, and
reflecting our longer term view of ST's market positioning, we have decided to
increase 2004 capital expenditures to approximately $2.2 billion, from the $1.6
billion that we initially budgeted. Approximately two-thirds of this amount
will be allocated to leading-edge technologies and R&D programs."
Concluding, Mr. Pistorio noted "We expect 2004 to be a year of progressive
growth in revenues and profitability for ST, and we believe that the prospects
for 2005 are solid. Therefore, we are allocating our resources in order to
maximize our competitive position while making investments in technology,
product development, and customer service and support to ensure ST's continued
leadership in our targeted market segments."

Products, Technology and Design Wins
- ------------------------------------
o A joint ST/Nokia RF Design Center, located in San Diego, California,
became fully operational.
o ST supplied Wireless-LAN 802.11g baseband (Phaser) samples to a
leading cellular phone manufacturer. Production of these chips is
expected to start in 2005.
o ST's GSM/GPRS chipset, protocol stack, and integrated application
environment has been selected by a leading ODM/EMS company in the
cellular terminals market. The chipset is supported by a wealth of
tools for the various steps of development, debugging, and production
tuning. The first application will be a `clamshell' and camera phone
with the intention to supply several handset OEM companies. Also in
this market, ST gained a number of ASIC design wins with a leading
terminal manufacturer. In addition, ST gained a design-win from a
top-tier manufacturer for a CDMA chipset. Production is expected to
start in 2005.
o ST's Nomadik multimedia application processor chip won the prestigious
Microprocessor Report Analysts' Choice Award as the Best Application
Processor. The analysts cited Nomadik's "system-like configuration,
separating on-chip functions and memory support for best performance;
its use of well-established VLIW DSP engines with plenty of software
to support them; and its ability to turn off all resources belonging
to a function not needed by the system or by the user" as key
differentiators.
o At the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, ST announced the world's
smallest triple-band GSM/GPRS transceiver modules for mobile phones.
These modules apply silicon-germanium radio-frequency BiCMOS and
Integrated Passive and Active Device (IPAD) technologies to simplify
terminal design.
o ST gained a Bluetooth design win for a cellphone application.
Production will start in the second half of 2004. Additionally, ST
started sampling its single-chip Bluetooth solution, which is
compliant with Bluetooth Rev 1.2.
o A design-win was achieved at Remotek for ST's Bluetooth chipset using
Human Interface Device (HID) solution for use in PC keyboard/mouse
applications.
o ST confirmed its leadership in the DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
chipset market with a total of 76 million DSL ports shipped worldwide
since 1998, a 35 percent share of the total xDSL market. The company
shipped 25.1 million ports in 2003 alone. In addition to upgraded
orders from a number of ADSL modem suppliers worldwide, ST also
received a major order for an ADSL Router chipset from T&W, a major
Chinese ADSL modem supplier.
6
o ST brought to market two new chip families for the emerging integrated
digital-TV market: a new family of multi-standard TV sound
demodulation and audio processing devices; and an LCD-TV processor
that offers all the digital functions needed to implement
matrix-display TV sets in a single chip.
o ST further expanded its industry-leading OMEGA family of STB decoders
with a new chipset supporting full dual TV and dual PVR (Personal
Video Recorder) functionality.
o ST began sampling its single-chip, audio-video, full-duplex codec for
the DVD and HDD (hard disk drive) recorder market. With its open and
flexible architecture, the device brings audio/video encoding to DVD
or HDD recording products and includes state-of-the-art DVD-player
features.
o ST announced its first single-chip solutions for both digital
terrestrial-TV (DTT) and digital cable-TV set-top boxes (STBs),
offering simplified design and lower costs for digital STB
manufacturers. Depending on the type of broadcast signal received by
the viewer, the new chips allow the viewing of digital terrestrial or
digital cable TV channels on analog TVs.
o ST announced the joint development with NDS of a Secure Video
Processor (SVP)-compliant content-protection solution. SVP security
ensures that digital content, such as audio and video, transferred
outside of the SVP device itself, is always in an encrypted form for
devices such as digital TVs, set-top boxes, DVRs, mobile phones, and
other portable players.
o The first devices in ST's new portfolio of NAND Flash memories entered
volume production. The new 1-Gbit and 512-Mbit products provide
effective data-storage solutions for high-volume applications such as
USB Flash drives, digital consumer products, cameras and
third-generation cell phones.
o ST's three-axis accelerometer, which uses Micro-Electro-Mechanical
System (MEMS) technology, won EDN magazine's Innovation of Year Award
for 2003 in the Components category. Further to this, ST also sampled
a new version of this award-winning device providing, for the first
time, both three-axis sensing and a digital output in a single
package. Also in the EDN Awards, a low -dropout Rad-Hard regulator
from ST was one of three finalists in the Power IC category.
o ST demonstrated full interoperability of its Serial ATA Physical Layer
Interface intellectual property (IP), which was combined with a device
controller from Palmchip and configured to simulate a typical disk
drive.
o ST delivered full working samples of a radio-frequency front-end IC
for the XM Radio system. The new IC was supplied as part of a kit with
the already existing single-chip baseband decoder. The kit provides a
full solution for the XM Radio system, from the 2.4GHz S-Band to the
I2S interface. Production is expected to start in the third quarter of
2004.
o ST shipped a new, single-chip audio power amplifier that delivers
200W, the highest power available from a commercial integrated device.
The new amplifier combines the patented BASH high-efficiency
technology, licensed from Indigo Manufacturing, with ST's proprietary
Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process technology.
7
o At Embedded World 2004, ST announced an extension to its ST7 family of
8-bit microcontrollers with the launch of a new family specifically
optimized for the control of three-phase induction and permanent
magnet brushless motors.
