Geneva, April 25, 2024 –
STMicroelectronics N.V. (“ST”) (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 March 30, 2024. This press release also

ST reported first quarter net revenues of $3.47
billion, gross margin of 41.7%, operating margin of 15.9%, and net
income of $513 million or $0.54 diluted earnings per share.
Jean-Marc Chery, ST President & CEO,
commented:
- “Q1 net revenues and gross
margin both came in below the midpoint of our business outlook
range, driven by lower revenues in Automotive and Industrial,
partially offset by higher revenues in Personal
Electronics.”
- “On a year-over-year basis,
Q1 net revenues decreased 18.4%, operating margin decreased to
15.9% from 28.3% and net income decreased 50.9% to $513
million.”
- “During the quarter,
Automotive semiconductor demand slowed down compared to our
expectations, entering a deceleration phase, while the ongoing
Industrial correction accelerated.”
- “Our second quarter
business outlook, at the mid-point, is for net revenues of $3.2
billion, decreasing year-over-year by 26.0% and decreasing
sequentially by 7.6%; gross margin is expected to be about
40%.”
- “We will now drive the
Company based on a revised plan for FY24 revenues in the range of
$14 billion to $15 billion. Within this plan, we expect a gross
margin in the low 40’s.”
- “We plan to maintain our
Net Capex1 plan for FY24 at about
$2.5 billion focusing on our strategic manufacturing

(Appendix –

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.
ST believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial
measures provide useful information for investors and management
because they offer, when read in conjunction with ST’s U.S. GAAP
financials, (i) the ability to make more meaningful
period-to-period comparisons of ST’s on-going operating results,
(ii) the ability to better identify trends in ST’s business
and perform related trend analysis, and (iii) to facilitate a
comparison of ST’s results of operations against investor and
analyst financial models and valuations, which may exclude these
items.
Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net
Financial Position (non-U.S. GAAP measures)
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, if any, 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. Starting Q4 2023, ST also presents adjusted net
financial position as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, to take into
consideration the effect on total liquidity of advances received on
capital grants for which capital expenditures have not been
incurred yet. Prior periods are not impacted.
ST believes its Net Financial Position and
Adjusted Net Financial Position provide useful information for
investors and management because they give 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, if any, short-term deposits and marketable
securities and the total level of our financial debt. Our
definitions of Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial
Position may differ from definitions used by other companies, and
therefore, comparability may be limited.

Net Capex and Free Cash Flow (non-U.S.
GAAP measures)
Starting Q1 2024, ST presents Net Capex as a
non-U.S. GAAP measure, which is reported as part of our Free Cash
Flow (non-US GAAP measure), to take into consideration the effect
of advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated
to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
Net Capex, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined
as (i) Payment for purchase of tangible assets as reported plus
(ii) Proceeds from sale of tangible assets as reported plus (iii)
Proceeds from capital grants and other contributions as reported
plus (iv) Advances from capital grants allocated to property, plant
and equipment.
ST believes Net Capex provides useful
information for investors and management because annual capital
expenditures budget includes the effect of capital grants. Our
definition of Net Capex may differ from definitions used by other
companies.

Free Cash Flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP
measure, is defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus
(ii) Net Capex plus (iii) payment for purchase (and proceeds from
sale) of intangible and financial assets and (iv) net cash paid for
business acquisitions, if any.
ST believes 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 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 and by excluding the advances from
capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property,
plant and equipment. Our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ
from definitions used by other companies.
