ON Semiconductor Updates Revenue Guidance

for Third Quarter 2003

 

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Sept. 9, 2003 – During its July 30, 2003 conference call and in its second quarter 2003 earnings release, ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN) provided guidance that its third quarter 2003 revenues would be roughly flat as compared to the second quarter 2003 revenues.

 

“We now expect third quarter 2003 revenues will grow sequentially by 1 to 2 percent over second quarter 2003 revenues,” said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor president and CEO. “Recent booking trends, particularly in August, coupled with the corresponding growth in our backlog and the strength of our wireless and consumer businesses, provide the basis for our change in expectation.”
