Geneva, April 29, 2021 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE:
STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers
across the spectrum of electronics applications, reported U.S. GAAP
financial results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2021. This
press release also contains non-U.S. GAAP measures (see Appendix
for additional information).
ST reported first quarter net revenues of $3.02
billion, gross margin of 39.0%, operating margin of 14.6%, and net
income of $364 million or $0.39 diluted earnings per share.
Jean-Marc Chery, STMicroelectronics President
& CEO, commented:
- “In the first quarter of 2021, net revenues increased
35.2% year-over-year. All product groups contributed to this
growth, on continued acceleration of demand globally. Operating
margin improved 420 basis points to 14.6% and net income increased
89.6% to $364 million.
- “On a sequential basis, net revenues decreased 6.8%,
270 basis points above the mid-point of our outlook. Automotive and
Power Discrete products and Microcontrollers increased
sequentially, partially offset by Personal Electronics
products.
- “ST’s second quarter outlook, at the mid-point, is for
net revenues of $2.9 billion, increasing year-over-year by 39%, and
decreasing sequentially by 3.8% due to usual seasonality in
Personal Electronics; gross margin is expected to be about
39.5%.
- “We will drive the Company based on a plan for FY21
revenues of $12.1 billion, plus or minus $150 million, a
year-over-year increase of 18.4% at the mid-point. This growth is
expected to be driven by strong dynamics in all end markets we
address and our engaged customer programs.
- “For 2021, we now plan to invest about $2.0 billion in
CAPEX to support the strong market demand and our strategic
initiatives.”

on a sequential basis while AMS decreased.
Gross profit totaled $1.18
billion, a year-over-year increase of 38.9%. Gross
margin of 39.0% increased 110 basis points year-over-year,
mainly due to lower unloading charges, manufacturing efficiencies
and improved mix partially offset by negative currency effects, net
of hedging. First quarter gross margin was 50 basis points above
the mid-point of the Company’s guidance mainly due to better
product mix.

Some of the statements contained in this release
that are not historical facts 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:
- changes in global trade policies, including the adoption and
expansion of tariffs and trade barriers, that could affect the
macro-economic environment and adversely impact the demand for our
products;

Regulation (“GDPR”);
- 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;
- changes in our overall tax position as a result of changes in
tax rules, new or revised legislation, 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;
- 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 outcome of ongoing litigation as well as the impact of any
new litigation to which we may become a defendant;

or delivery failure, or other claims relating to our products, or
recalls by our customers for products containing our parts;
- natural events such as severe weather, earthquakes, tsunamis,
volcano eruptions or other acts of nature, the effects of climate
change, health risks and epidemics such as the COVID-19 in
locations where we, our customers or our suppliers operate;
- the duration and the severity of the global outbreak of
COVID-19 may continue to negatively impact the global economy in a
significant manner for an extended period of time, and also could
materially adversely affect our business and operating
results;
- industry changes resulting from vertical and horizontal
consolidation among our suppliers, competitors, and customers;
and
- the ability to successfully ramp up new programs that could be
impacted by factors beyond our control, including the availability
of critical third party components and performance of
subcontractors in line with our expectations.
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

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial InformationU. S. GAAP –
Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation
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.
The Company believes that these non-U.S. GAAP
financial measures provide useful information for investors and
management because they offer, when read in conjunction with the
Company’s U.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) to facilitate a comparison of the Company’s results of
operations against investor and analyst financial models and
valuations, which may exclude these items.
Net Financial Position
(non-U.S. GAAP measure)
Net Financial Position, a non-U.S. GAAP measure,
represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total
financial debt. Our total liquidity includes cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits, and marketable
securities, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt
and long-term debt, as represented in our Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
We believe our Net Financial Position 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, restricted cash, short-term deposits and
marketable securities and the total level of our financial
indebtedness. Our definition of Net Financial Position may differ
from definitions used by other companies and therefore
comparability may be limited.

Free Cash Flow
(non-U.S. GAAP measure)
Free Cash Flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP
measure, is defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus
(ii) net cash used in investing activities, excluding payment for
purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and
net investment in short-term deposits, 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 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
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 of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities
and net investment in 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.
