ON Semiconductor Reports Fourth Quarter and 2004 Annual Results

 

Gross margin exceeds 32 percent

 

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Feb. 2, 2005 – ON Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: ONNN) today announced that total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2004 were $306.8 million, a decrease of 4 percent from the third quarter of 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the company reported a net loss of $88.3 million, or $0.36 per share that included a loss on debt prepayment of $96.3 million, or $0.38 per share, and restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $5.6 million, or $0.02 per share. During the third quarter of 2004, the company reported net income of $15.7 million, or $0.04 per share that included a loss on debt prepayment of $3.0 million, or $0.01 per share.

 

On a mix-adjusted basis, average selling prices in the fourth quarter of 2004 were down approximately 1 percent from the third quarter of 2004. The company’s gross margin in the fourth quarter was 32.1 percent, a decrease of approximately 20 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2004.

 

EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2004 was a $39.7 million deficit and included the $96.3 million loss on debt prepayment and the restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $5.6 million. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2004 was $64.2 million and included the $3.0 million loss on debt prepayment. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the company’s net income or net loss, as applicable, and net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP is set out in the attached schedule.

 

The $96.3 million loss on debt prepayment in the fourth quarter of 2004 was due to the company’s repurchase of $325 million principal amount of its senior secured notes and the refinancing of the its senior secured credit facilities.

The $5.6 million in restructuring, asset impairments and other charges for the fourth quarter of 2004 included approximately $2.3 million of cash charges, primarily related to contract termination and severance costs, and approximately $3.3 million of non-cash charges for asset impairments.

 

Total revenues for 2004 were $1.267 billion, an increase of approximately 19 percent as compared to $1.069 billion of revenues for 2003. During 2004 the company reported a net loss of $123.7 million that included a loss on debt prepayment of $159.7 million and restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $19.6 million. During 2003, the company reported a net loss of $166.7 million that included a loss on debt prepayment of $7.7 million, restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $61.2 million and the cumulative effect of accounting change of $21.5 million. The company’s gross margin increased by approximately 430 basis points to 32.4 percent in 2004 from 28.1 percent in 2003 primarily as a result of increased average selling prices, increased unit volume and manufacturing cost reductions.

 

“During the fourth quarter of 2004, we maintained our gross margins above 32 percent, while driving down inventory levels internally and in the distribution network” said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor president and CEO. “2004 was a year that we significantly improved our capital structure, refinancing approximately $760 million in principal of high interest bearing bonds while keeping our cash and short-term investment balances relatively flat on a year-over-year basis. The actions taken during the year to improve our capital structure are expected to reduce our annual cash interest expense by approximately $50 million in 2005 as compared to 2004. We have put the company in a firmer financial position, and as we move into 2005, look to continue our success of driving new product innovations in the power-solutions market.”

 

FIRST QUARTER 2005 OUTLOOK

 

“Based upon booking trends, backlog levels and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total revenues will be down approximately 4 to 5 percent sequentially in the first quarter,” Jackson said. “Backlog levels at the beginning of the first quarter of 2005 were down from backlog levels at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2004. Backlog represented approximately 85 percent of our anticipated first quarter revenues. We expect that average selling prices will be down approximately 2 to 3 percent for the first quarter of 2005. We also expect cost reductions to partially offset a decline in average selling prices and that gross margins will be approximately 30 percent in the first quarter of 2005.”

(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 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.
(3) Effective in the fourth quarter of 2004 and pursuant to the adoption of EITF 04-8, the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the quarter ended October 1, 2004 has been revised to include 26.5 million shares from the assumed conversion of our zero coupon convertible notes.

* 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.
