Geneva, October 27, 2016 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM),
a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2016.
Third quarter net revenues totaled $1.80 billion, gross margin was 35.8%, and net earnings were $71 million or $0.08 per share.
“In the third quarter revenues increased 5.5% sequentially and 1.9% year-over year. Revenue growth also brought improved operating profitability, with a third quarter operating margin before impairment and restructuring of 6.6%,”
commented Carlo Bozotti, STMicroelectronics President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Sequential growth was driven by the increasing pervasiveness of ST’s products in flagship smartphones, wearables and Internet of Things applications: from MEMS and sensors, including our latest 6-axis gyroscope, to imaging sensors, with new products based on our Time-of-Flight technology, to our expanding STM32 family of microcontrollers. In addition, we grew year-over-year in automotive and we continued to see positive momentum in industrial, the distribution channel and the mass market.
“In the quarter we completed the acquisition of NFC and RFID reader assets, strengthening our portfolio of secure microcontrollers for next-generation mobile and Internet of Things devices, while also improving our cash balance thanks to increased cash flow generated from operations.”

Third Quarter Review
Third quarter net revenues increased 5.5% sequentially, at the midpoint of the Company’s guidance. Analog and MEMS Group (AMG) revenues increased sequentially 7.1% driven by motion MEMS and microphones. Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group (MDG) increased 5.5% on a sequential basis driven by general purpose microcontrollers and digital ASICs for networking. Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG) revenues decreased 2.3% on a sequential basis due to seasonality in automotive products and substantially flat revenues in power discretes. Specialized image sensors, reported in Others, registered a very strong sequential revenue growth due to new products, based on ST’s Time-of-Flight technology, ramping in wireless applications.
On a year-over-year basis, third quarter net revenues increased 1.9%, or 3.4% excluding businesses undergoing a phase-out (mobile legacy products, camera modules and set-top box). Growth was driven by MEMS and sensors, microcontrollers, automotive, specialized image sensors and digital ASICs partially offset by analog and power discretes - both negatively impacted by the weak computer peripheral market - and by the discontinued product lines.
By region, Asia Pacific grew revenues sequentially 12.7% while the Americas and EMEA were lower by 0.1% and 5.4%, respectively. On a year-over-year basis, Asia Pacific and EMEA grew revenues 5.6% and 1.4%, respectively, while the Americas decreased by 10.2%.
Third quarter gross profit was $643 million. Gross margin was 35.8%, and included about 60 basis points of unused capacity charges. On a sequential basis, gross margin increased 190 basis points due to improved manufacturing efficiency and product mix, partially offset principally by normal price pressure and higher unused capacity charges. Gross margin also improved on a year-over-year basis, increasing 100 basis points on improved manufacturing efficiency and favorable currency effects, net of hedging, partially offset by normal price pressure.
Combined R&D and SG&A expenses were $542 million, decreasing by $23 million on a sequential basis, benefiting from favorable seasonality and the set-top box restructuring plan.
Third quarter other income and expenses, net, registered income of $18 million compared to $28 million in the prior quarter mainly due to lower R&D funding.
Impairment and restructuring charges in the third quarter were $29 million compared to $12 million in the prior quarter, both mostly related to the set-top box restructuring plan announced in January 2016.
Third quarter operating income was $90 million compared to $28 million and $91 million in the prior quarter and year-ago quarter. In the third quarter, the Imaging Product Division turned to profit. In addition, the Company continued to make progress on its restructuring of the set-top box business targeting annualized savings of $170 million upon completion. Operating income before impairment and restructuring charges
(1)
improved sequentially to $119 million, or 6.6% of revenues, from $40 million, mainly due to higher revenues and higher gross profit as well as lower operating expenses. On a year-over-year basis, operating income before impairment and restructuring charges improved by $17 million reflecting improved manufacturing efficiencies, better product mix, lower operating expenses and favorable currency effects, net of hedging, partially offset mainly by a lower level of R&D grants.
Third quarter net income was $71 million, equivalent to $0.08 per share, compared to net income of $23 million in the prior quarter and net income of $90 million in the year-ago quarter which included an income tax benefit of $14 million related to the settlement of a tax assessment.

Nine Months 2016 Review
In total, net revenues in the nine months 2016 decreased 2.2% to $5.11 billion from $5.23 billion in the year-ago period. Net revenues, excluding businesses undergoing a phase-out, decreased 0.9% with strong growth in specialized image sensors and solid growth in microcontrollers and automotive offset by analog and power discrete, due to weakness in the computer peripheral markets, and MEMS, due to weakness in smartphones earlier in the year.
Gross margin in the nine months 2016
improved to 34.4% from 33.9% in the year-ago period mainly benefiting from manufacturing efficiencies and favorable currency effects, net of hedging, partially offset by price pressure.
Nine Month 2016 operating income was $85 million compared to $84 million in the year-ago period. Operating income before impairment and restructuring charges
(1)
was $154 million, compared to $145 million in the year-ago period reflecting improved manufacturing efficiencies, better product mix, favorable currency effects, net of hedging, and lower operating expenses partially offset mainly by price pressure and lower R&D grants. ADG operating performance improved principally due to mix improvements in comparison to the year-ago period. MDG operating margin turned positive due to higher sales of general purpose microcontrollers, lower sales of low margin set-top box products and the savings from the set-top box restructuring plan. AMG operating results decreased mainly due to lower sales.

Non-U.S. GAAP measure. See Appendix for additional information and reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.
Combined R&D and SG&A expenses decreased 3.5% to $1.68 billion compared to $1.74 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 the saving plan completed in 2015.
Other income and expenses, net, registered income of $73 million compared to $110 million in the year-ago period mainly due to a lower level of R&D grants.
On a year-to-date basis, impairment and restructuring charges were $69 million compared to $61 million in the year-ago period and principally related to the set-top box restructuring plan.
Nine Month 2016 net income was $53 million, equivalent to $0.06 per share, compared to net income of $102 million, which included a one-time $46 million income tax benefit, or $0.12 per share in the year-ago period.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Business Outlook
Mr. Bozotti commented,
“Demand is currently strong in the smartphone market and we continue to see positive trends in automotive and industrial. In the fourth quarter, we anticipate at the midpoint a sequential increase in net revenues of about 3.2% and a gross margin of about 37.0%.
“Thanks to our strategic focus on Smart Driving and Internet of Things, the increased traction we are seeing with our new products and positive market trends, ST is positioned to achieve year-over-year revenue growth for 2016 driven by automotive, specialized image sensors and microcontrollers.
“In addition, we expect for 2016 to improve our profitability and continue to generate solid free cash flow. While we remain mindful of macroeconomic factors and their potential impact on our customers and the semiconductor market, we see less macro risk than we did earlier in the year.”
The Company expects fourth quarter 2016 revenues to increase about 3.2% on a sequential basis, plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Gross margin in the fourth quarter is expected to be about 37.0% plus or minus 2.0 percentage points.
This outlook is based on an assumed effective currency exchange rate of approximately $1.11 = €1.00 for the 2016 fourth quarter and includes the impact of existing hedging contracts. The fourth quarter will close on December 31, 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.
