ON Semiconductor Reports Third Quarter 2005 Results

 

Revenue and gross margin sequentially up

 

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Oct. 20, 2005 – ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: ONNN) today announced that total revenues in the third quarter of 2005 were $313.6 million, an increase of approximately 4 percent from the second quarter of 2005. During the third quarter of 2005, the company reported net income of $23.5 million, or $0.06 per share on a fully diluted basis, which included restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $0.2 million. During the second quarter of 2005, the company reported net income of $18.5 million, or $0.05 per share, which included restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $2.8 million or $0.01 per share.

 

On a mix-adjusted basis, average selling prices in the third quarter of 2005 were down approximately 3 percent from the second quarter of 2005. The company’s gross margin in the third quarter was 33.2 percent, an increase of approximately 70 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2005.

 

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2005 was $65.4 million and included $0.2 million in restructuring, asset impairments and other charges. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2005 was $59.5 million and included $2.8 million in restructuring, asset impairments and other charges. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the company’s net income (net loss) and net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP is set out in the attached schedule.

 

The $0.2 million in restructuring, asset impairments and other charges for the third quarter of 2005 was primarily for accrued severance and other exit costs related to previously announced restructuring activities.

 

– more –


“In the third quarter of 2005, we continued to successfully grow both revenue and gross margin.” said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor president and CEO. “Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments reached a record high at $272.3 million and offer the company continued financial flexibility to further reduce interest expense. Our beginning backlog entering the fourth quarter increased sequentially for the second consecutive quarter and we are excited about our financial prospects for the fourth quarter.”

 

FOURTH QUARTER 2005 OUTLOOK

 

“Based upon booking trends, backlog levels and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total revenues will be up approximately 2 to 3 percent sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2005,” Jackson said. “Backlog levels at the beginning of the fourth quarter were up from backlog levels at the beginning of the third quarter of 2005, and represented over 85 percent of our anticipated fourth quarter revenues. We expect that average selling prices will be down approximately 2 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005. We also expect cost reductions to offset the decline in average selling prices and that gross margins will be up approximately 100 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2005.”

 

TELECONFERENCE

 

ON Semiconductor will hold a conference call for the financial community at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time (EST) 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.

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.

* 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.

 

(1) For the quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2004, respectively; amounts have been revised to exclude the cash portion of the loss on debt prepayments from the adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by operating activities.
