ON Semiconductor Reports Third Quarter Results

 

Company exceeds revised guidance; first quarterly profit since 2000

 

PHOENIX, Ariz. – October 27, 2004 – ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: ONNN) today announced that total revenues in the third quarter of 2004 were $318.4 million, a decrease of 5 percent from the second quarter of 2004. During the third quarter of 2004, the company reported net income of $15.7 million, or $0.04 per share, which included a loss on debt prepayment of $3.0 million, or $0.01 per share. During the second quarter of 2004, the company reported a net loss of $3.5 million, or $0.02 per share, that included restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $0.9 million, and a loss on debt prepayment of $27.4 million, or $0.11 per share.

 

On a mix-adjusted basis, average selling prices in the third quarter of 2004 were up approximately 1 percent from the second quarter of 2004. The company’s gross margin in the third quarter was 32.3 percent, a decrease of approximately 140 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2004 due to a combination of lower unit volumes and lower manufacturing capacity utilization.

 

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2004 was $64.2 million and included the $3.0 million loss on debt prepayment. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2004 was $46.1 million and included restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $0.9 million and the $27.4 million loss on debt prepayment. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the company’s net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP is set out in the attached schedule.

“We accomplished a significant milestone this quarter by achieving profitability for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2000,” said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor president and CEO. “The actions taken during the year on the operational and financial front have enabled us to reach profitability at a revenue level significantly lower than in the fourth quarter of 2000. Operationally, we are executing better throughout the cycle and have improved both our price management and product portfolio. Financially, we have strengthened our balance sheet and have reduced our interest expense. As we move into 2005, we believe the actions taken this year will continue to position ON for success.”

 

FOURTH QUARTER 2004 OUTLOOK

 

“Based upon booking trends, backlog levels and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total revenues will be flat to down 4 percent sequentially in the fourth quarter,” Jackson said. “Backlog levels at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2004 were down from backlog levels at the beginning of the third quarter of 2004 and represented greater than 90 percent of our anticipated fourth quarter revenues. We expect that average selling prices will be down slightly in the fourth quarter of 2004 and while gross margin will decrease to approximately 31 percent, we expect to remain profitable.”

 

TELECONFERENCE

 

ON Semiconductor will hold a conference call for the financial community at 5 p.m. Eastern time (EDT) today to discuss the third quarter results. The company will provide a real-time audio broadcast of the teleconference on the Investor Relations page of its website at http://www.onsemi.com. The webcast will be available for approximately 30 days following the conference call.

(1) Effective in the second quarter of 2004 and pursuant to EITF 03-6, under the two-class method of calculating basic earnings per share in periods in which we generate income, we will allocate net income available to common stockholders on a pro-rata basis between our common and preferred stockholders. Given our capital structure, this new standard has the effect of lowering our basic earnings per share when compared with our previous method of calculating basic earnings per share.
(2) Certain amounts may not total due to the rounding of individual components.

* EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. While EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors to assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table above sets forth our EBITDA with a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles.
