Recent Company Mergers and Acquisitions
We have historically pursued strategic acquisitions to leverage our existing capabilities and further build our business. On August 15, 2014, we completed the purchase of Aptina, whereby Aptina became our wholly-owned subsidiary. The aggregate purchase price of this transaction was approximately $405.4 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. We believe the acquisition of Aptina expands our image-sensor business and establishes ON Semiconductor as a leader in the fast growing segment of image sensors in the automotive and industrial end-markets.
On April 30, 2014, we completed the purchase of Truesense, whereby Truesense became our wholly-owned subsidiary. The aggregate purchase price of this transaction was approximately $95.7 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. We believe that the acquisition of Truesense strengthens our product portfolio targeting industrial end-markets such as machine vision, surveillance and intelligent transportation systems by complementing our existing high-speed, high-resolution, power-efficient image sensing solutions with Truesense’s high-performance image sensors for low-light, low-noise.
On January 1, 2011, we paid SANYO Electric $142.1 million in cash and issued a $377.5 million note payable to SANYO Electric, through SCI LLC, in exchange for a 100% interest in SANYO Semiconductor and certain other semiconductor related assets held by SANYO Electric. In the second quarter of 2011, we received approximately $39.7 million in cash from SANYO Electric for working capital and pension adjustments as determined in accordance with the purchase agreement, which resulted in a net purchase price of $479.9 million.
The acquisition of SANYO Semiconductor provided us with a stronger market presence in Japan, with many leading Japan-based customers, some of which were previously our customers. We believe that this acquisition has provided and will continue to provide us with access to market-leading Japanese and Asian customers, while providing our System Solutions Group’s customers with access to advanced front-end mixed-signal and analog manufacturing, and ultra high volume back-end facilities. Since acquiring SANYO Semiconductor in 2011, we have incurred material restructuring expenses to achieve cost savings in order to align the System Solutions Group’s cost structure with expected revenue levels as the System Solutions Group experienced revenue and financial performance declines which were greater than our expectations and greater than cyclical declines in our other operating segments. These revenue declines were at least partially attributable to the impact from the October 2011 Thailand flood, a softening of the Japanese consumer market and, to a lesser extent, political tensions between Japan and China. See Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Operating Expenses” under the heading “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net” and in Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information on our System Solutions Group restructuring activities. On a long-term basis, we expect our System Solutions Group to benefit from access to ON Semiconductor’s market leading customers not previously doing business with SANYO Semiconductor in North America, Europe and China.
On February 27, 2011, we acquired 100% of the CMOS ISBU from Cypress Semiconductor for $34.1 million in cash. The ISBU includes a broad portfolio of high-performance custom and standard image sensors

The acquired products include the VITA, LUPA, STAR, and IBIS families, which are all well known throughout the industry.
During 2010, we acquired 100% of SDT and CMD in all cash transactions. Among other benefits, these acquisitions improved our position as a leader of certain technologies, expanded our product offerings in certain end-markets, allowed us to reach more customers and enhanced our existing product portfolio.
See Note 4: “Acquisitions” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further discussion of certain of these acquisitions.

Distributors Sales to distributors accounted for approximately 50% of our revenues in 2014, 44% of our revenues in 2013 and 38% of our revenues in 2012. Our distributors, which include Arrow, Avnet, OS Electronics, World Peace and WT Microelectronics, resell to mid-sized and smaller OEMs and to electronic manufacturing service providers and other companies. Sales to certain distributors are made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Under certain agreements, distributors are allowed to return any product that we have removed from our price book. In addition, agreements with certain of our distributors contain stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns. Due to current limitations on the feasibility of estimating the up front effect of returns and allowances with these distributors, we defer recognition of revenue and gross profit on sales to these distributors until these distributors resell the product. As a result, sales returns have minimal impact on our results of operations.
Electronic Manufacturing Service Providers Direct sales to electronic manufacturing service providers accounted for approximately 8% of our revenues in 2014, 8% of our revenues in 2013 and 7% of our revenues in 2012. Among our largest electronic manufacturing service customers are Benchmark Electronic, Celestica, Flextronics, Jabil and Sanmina. These customers are manufacturers who typically provide contract manufacturing services for OEMs. Originally, these companies were involved primarily in the assembly of printed circuit boards, but they now typically provide design, supply management and manufacturing solutions as well. Many OEMs now outsource a large part of their manufacturing to electronic manufacturing service providers in order to focus on their core competencies. We are pursuing a number of strategies to penetrate this increasingly important marketplace. Generally, our electronic manufacturing service customers do not have the right to return our products following a sale other than pursuant to our standard warranty.
See Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 18: “Segment Information” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for revenues by geographic locations.

We operate all of our manufacturing facilities directly, with the exception of our assembly and test operations facility located in Leshan, China, which is owned by a joint venture company, Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited (“Leshan”), of which we own a majority of the outstanding equity interests. Our investment in Leshan has been consolidated in our financial statements. Our joint venture partner, Leshan Radio Company Ltd., is formerly a state-owned enterprise. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, requests for production capacity are made to the board of directors of Leshan by each shareholder of the joint venture. Each request represents a purchase commitment by the requesting shareholder, provided that the shareholder may elect to pay the cost associated with the unused capacity (which is generally equal to the fixed cost of the capacity) in lieu of satisfying the commitment. We committed to purchase 70% of Leshan’s production capacity in 2014, 2013 and 2012 and are currently committed to purchase approximately 80% of Leshan’s expected production capacity in 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we acquired an additional equity interest in Leshan, see Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information.
We use third-party contractors for some of our manufacturing activities, primarily for wafer fabrication and the assembly and testing of finished goods. Our agreements with these contract manufacturers typically require us to forecast product needs and commit to purchase services consistent with these forecasts. In some cases, longer-term commitments are required in the early stages of the relationship. These contract manufacturers, including Amkor, ASE, HAUHONG Grace, UMC and LFoundry S.r., accounted for approximately 30%, 26% and 23% of our manufacturing costs in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
For information regarding risks associated with our foreign operations, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” under the heading “Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business” included elsewhere in this report.
Our manufacturing processes use many raw materials, including silicon wafers, gold, copper, and lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and various chemicals and gases. We obtain our raw materials and supplies from a large number of sources generally on a just-in-time basis, and material agreements with our suppliers that impose minimum or continuing supply obligations are reflected in our commitments, contingencies and indemnities table in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” under the heading “Contractual Obligations” included elsewhere in this report. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. Although we believe that supplies of the raw materials we use are currently and will continue to be available, shortages could occur in various essential materials due to interruption of supply, increased demand in the industry or certain other factors.
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
As of December 31, 2014, our global sales and marketing organization consisted of approximately 1,200 professionals, servicing customers in approximately 70 countries. We support our customers through logistics organizations and just-in-time warehouses. Global and regional distribution channels further support our customers’ needs for quick response and service. We offer efficient, cost-effective global applications support from our Technical Information Centers and Solution Engineering Centers, allowing for applications which are developed in one region of the world to be instantaneously available throughout all other regions.
Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Other Intellectual Property Rights
We market our products under our registered trademark ON Semiconductor® and our ON logo, and, in the United States and internationally, we rely primarily on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, employee and non-disclosure agreements and licensing agreements to protect our intellectual property. We acquired or were licensed or sublicensed to a significant amount of IP, including patents and patent applications, in connection with our acquisitions, and we have numerous U.S. and foreign patents issued, allowed
15
Table of Contents
and pending. Our patents have expiration dates ranging from 2015 to 2034, and none of the patents that expire in the near future materially affect our business. Our policy is to protect our products and processes by asserting our IP rights where appropriate and prudent and by obtaining patents, copyrights and other IP rights used in connection with our business when practicable and appropriate.
Historically, our revenues have been affected by the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the seasonal trends of related end-markets consisting of a stronger second half of the year for certain end-markets as compared to the first half of the year. We have, in the past, experienced substantial quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenues and operating results and, in the future, could continue to experience short-term period-to-period fluctuations in operating results due to general industry or economic conditions.
Our trade sales are made primarily pursuant to orders that are predominantly booked as far as 26 weeks in advance of delivery. Generally, prices and quantities are fixed at the time of booking. Backlog as of a given date consists of existing orders and forecasted demand from our Electronic Data Interface customers, in each case scheduled to be shipped over the 13-week period following such date. Backlog is influenced by several factors, including market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product lead times. For those shipments to distributors who are allowed sales return rights and allowances, we record revenues on a “sell-through” basis. Thus, backlog comprised of orders from these distributors will not result in revenues until these distributors sell the products ordered. During 2014, our backlog at the beginning of each quarter represented between 80% and 85% of actual revenues during such quarter, which is consistent with backlog levels in recent prior periods. As manufacturing capacity utilization in the industry increases, customers tend to order products further in advance and, as a result, backlog at the beginning of a period as a percentage of revenues during such period is likely to increase.
In the semiconductor industry, backlog quantities and shipment schedules under outstanding purchase orders are frequently revised to reflect changes in customer needs. Agreements calling for the sale of specific quantities are either contractually subject to quantity revisions or, as a matter of industry practice, are often not enforced. Therefore, a significant portion of our order backlog may be cancelable. For these reasons, the amount of backlog as of any particular date may not be an accurate indicator of future results.
We sell products to key customers pursuant to contracts that allow us to schedule production capacity in advance and allow the customers to manage their inventory levels consistent with just-in-time principles while shortening the cycle times required for producing ordered products. However, these contracts are typically amended to reflect changes in customer demands and periodic price renegotiations.
The semiconductor industry, particularly the market for general-purpose semiconductor products like ours, is highly competitive. Although only a few companies compete with us in most of our product lines, we face significant competition within each of our product lines from major international semiconductor companies, as well as smaller companies focused on specific market niches. Because our components are often building block semiconductors that, in some cases, can be integrated into more complex ICs, we also face competition from manufacturers of ICs, ASICs and fully-customized ICs, as well as customers who develop their own IC products. See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors—Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business” located elsewhere in this report for additional information.

In comparison, several competitors noted below are larger in scale and size, have substantially greater financial and other resources with which to pursue development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products and may generally be better situated to withstand adverse economic or market conditions. The following discusses the effects of competition on our four operating segments:
Application Products Group
The principal methods of competition in the Application Products Group are with other custom semiconductor vendors based on design experience, manufacturing capability, depth and quality of IP, ability to service customer needs from the design phase to the shipping of a completed product, length of design cycle, longevity of technology support and experience of sales and technical support personnel.
Our ability to compete successfully depends on internal and external variables, both inside and outside of our control. These variables include, but are not limited to, the timeliness with which we can develop new products and technologies, product performance and quality, manufacturing yields and availability, customer service, pricing, industry trends and general economic trends. Select competitors for certain of our products and solutions include: Elmos Semiconductor AG; Intersil Corporation; Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.; Melexis N.V.; STMicroelectronics N.V.; and Texas Instruments Inc.
Image Sensor Group
The principal method of competition in the Image Sensor Group is to leverage our deep technical knowledge and close customer relationships to drive the most compelling imaging experience for end users. The Image Sensor Group has over four decades of CCD imaging experience and was the first to commercialize CMOS active pixel sensors. As the result, the Image Sensor Group was the first to introduce CMOS technology into many of our markets, including automotive and industrial applications, and brings a wealth of technical and end-user applications knowledge to help customers develop innovative imaging solutions across a broad range of end-user needs. Select competitors for certain of our products and solutions include: Sony Semiconductor; Samsung; Omnivision; STMicroelectronics N.V.; and Toshiba.
Standard Products Group
The Standard Products Group’s competitive strengths are in our market leading protection and filtering products, the breadth of our portfolio, technical performance, micro-packaging expertise, our high quality, low cost structure, and supply chain management which ensures supply to key customers. In addition, our strengths include our strong IP portfolio and our ability to leverage IP blocks across the Company to develop high value-added ASSPs.
The principal methods of competing in our discrete semiconductor products are through new product and package innovations with enhanced performance over existing products. Of particular importance are our transient voltage protection and filtering portfolios (ESD Protection and Common Mode Filters), power switching and rectification products, where we believe we enjoy significant performance advantages over our competition. Select competitors for certain of our products include: Diodes Incorporated; Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc.; Infineon Technologies AG; KEC Corporation; NXP B.V.; Rohm Co., Ltd.; Semtech Corporation; STMicroelectronics N.V.; and Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
System Solutions Group
The principal methods of competition for the System Solutions Group are technical performance, quality, service and price. Our competitive strengths are strong technology and design capability, breadth of product portfolio, systems design expertise and long-standing supply relationships with leading OEM customers. Select competitors for certain of our products include: Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc.; Infineon

Technologies AG; Mitsubishi Electric; NXP B.V.; Renesas Electronics Corporation; Rohm Co. Ltd.; Sanken Electric; STMicroelectronics N.V.; Texas Instruments Incorporated; and Toshiba Corporation.
Company-sponsored research and development costs in 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $366.6 million (11.6% of revenue), $334.2 million (12.0% of revenue) and $367.5 million (12.7% of revenue), respectively. We seek to maximize the investment of our people and capital in research and development by targeting innovative products and solutions for high growth applications that position the company to outperform the industry. Our design expertise in analog, digital, mixed signal and imaging ICs, combined with our extensive portfolio of standard products enable the company to offer comprehensive, value added solutions to our global customers for their electronics systems.
Our manufacturing operations are subject to environmental and worker health and safety laws and regulations. These laws and regulations include those relating to emissions and discharges into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances, the release of hazardous substances into the environment at or from our facilities and at other sites, and the investigation and remediation of contamination.
Our headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona is located on property that is a “Superfund” site, a property listed on the National Priorities List and subject to clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Motorola and now Freescale have been actively involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of our separation from Motorola in 1999, Motorola retained responsibility for this contamination, and Motorola and Freescale have agreed to indemnify us with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter.
Our former manufacturing location in Aizu, Japan is located on property where soil and ground water contamination has been detected. We believe that the contamination originally occurred during a time when the facility was operated by a prior owner. We have been working with local authorities to implement remediation actions and expect all remaining remediation costs to be covered by insurance. Based on information available, any net costs to us in connection with this matter are not expected to be material.
Our manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic has ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred during the years that this facility was operated by government-owned entities. The remediation projects consist primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site, with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded. The government of the Czech Republic has agreed to indemnify us and the respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Based upon the information available, we do not believe that total future remediation costs to us will be material.
Our design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island is located on property that has localized soil contamination. When we purchased the East Greenwich facility, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not To Sue with the State of Rhode Island. This agreement requires that remedial actions be undertaken and a quarterly groundwater monitoring program be initiated by the former owners of the property. Based on the information available, we do not believe that any costs to us in connection with this matter will be material.
As a result of the acquisition of AMIS in 2008, we are a “primary responsible party” to an environmental remediation and cleanup at AMIS’s former corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California. Costs incurred by AMIS include implementation of the clean-up plan, operations and maintenance of remediation systems and
18
Table of Contents
other project management costs. However, AMIS’s former parent company, a subsidiary of Nippon Mining, contractually agreed to indemnify AMIS and us for any obligations relating to environmental remediation and clean-up at this location. Based on the information available, we do not believe that any future costs to us in connection with this matter will be material.
We believe that our operations are in material compliance with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. We do not expect the cost of compliance with existing environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, and liability for currently known environmental conditions, to have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects. It is possible, however, that future developments, including changes in laws and regulations, government policies, customer specification, personnel and physical property conditions, including currently undiscovered contamination, could lead to material costs. See Note 12: “Commitments and Contingencies” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for information on certain environmental matters.
As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately 24,500 employees worldwide, of which approximately 3,100 employees were in the United States. None of our employees in the United States are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Certain of our foreign employees are covered by collective bargaining arrangements (e.g., those in Japan and Belgium) or similar arrangements or are represented by workers councils. For information regarding employee risk associated with our international operations, see Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors—Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business” elsewhere in this report. Of the total number of our employees as of December 31, 2014, approximately 20,400 were engaged in manufacturing, approximately 1,200 were engaged in our sales and marketing organization, which includes customer service, approximately 800 were engaged in administration and approximately 2,100 were engaged in research and development.

disclosure standards, risks related to new legal requirements and risks involving environmental or other governmental regulation. Additional factors that could affect our future results or events are described from time to time in our SEC reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update such information, except as may be required by law.
You should carefully consider the trends, risks and uncertainties described below and other information in this Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the following trends, risks or uncertainties actually occurs or continues, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected, the trading prices of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business
From time to time, we have experienced declines in revenues and incurred operating losses, and we may experience additional declines in revenues and incur additional operating losses in the future.
At times, our historical financial results have been subject to substantial fluctuations and during those times we have experienced declines in revenues and incurred operating losses. Reduced end-user demand, price declines, excess inventory, underutilization of our manufacturing capacity, the effects of natural disasters such as the flooding in Thailand or the Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011, and other factors have adversely affected and could in the future adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns and upturns.
The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and, as a result, is subject to significant downturns and upturns. The industry has experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles (for semiconductors and for the end-user products in which they are used) and declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. In the event of such a downturn, our operating results may be adversely affected as a result of increased operating expenses, reduced margins, underutilization of capacity or asset impairment charges. On the other hand, significant upturns have led to increased customer demand for our products and the risk of not being able to meet this demand in a timely and cost efficient manner. In the event of such an upturn, we may not be able to expand our workforce and operations in a sufficiently timely manner, procure adequate resources and raw materials, or locate suitable third-party suppliers to respond effectively to changes in demand for our existing products or to the demand for new products requested by our customers, and our current or future business could be materially and adversely affected. We may also not be able to balance our expansion activities and actual demand in such an environment. The overbuilding of capacity and excess increases of inventory by us and other companies can result in overcapacity in the industry and general price erosion.
We have experienced these conditions in our business in the past and may experience them in the future. We cannot accurately predict the timing of the current and future downturns and upturns in the semiconductor industry and how severe and prolonged these conditions might be. These future conditions in the semiconductor industry could adversely impact our revenues and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Economic conditions, including those related to the credit markets, may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.
Adverse global economic conditions may result in fluctuations and reductions in consumer and commercial spending from time to time, and such conditions or uncertainties about such conditions may result in lower orders for our products and make it difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. The

semiconductor industry has often experienced significant downturns in connection with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. Volatility in global economic conditions, including the level of the economic recovery in the United States, the growth rate of the Chinese economy, the effect of conditions in Japan, including a weakened demand environment and Yen, and economic weakness in many other countries and regions, volatility in oil prices and conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, may adversely and materially affect our industry, business and results of operations, and we cannot accurately predict volatility or how severe and prolonged any downturn or recovery might be. Reduced spending has in the past driven us and may in the future drive us and our competitors to reduce product pricing, which results in a negative effect on gross profit. In addition, to the extent we incorrectly plan for favorable economic conditions that do not materialize or take longer to materialize than expected, our business and results of operations could be adversely and materially affected. Moreover, volatility in revenues as a result of unpredictable economic conditions may alter our anticipated working capital needs and interfere with our short-term and long-term strategies.
Furthermore, the United States and global credit markets could experience renewed financial turmoil. If the past pressures on credit were renewed or we experience an additional global downturn, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all, and we may not be able to refinance, if necessary, any outstanding debt when due, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. While we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity, on terms acceptable to us, to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, debt service and capital expenditures for the immediate future, if our operating results falter and our cash flow or capital resources prove inadequate, or if interest rates increase significantly, we could face liquidity problems that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, global financial uncertainty affecting the financial and other markets could impact our business in a number of other ways, including causing (1) our customers and consumers in general to defer purchases, (2) our customers difficulties in obtaining sufficient credit to finance purchases of our products and meet their payment obligations to us, (3) our key suppliers to become capacity-constrained or insolvent, resulting in a reduction or interruption in supplies or a significant increase in the price of supplies and (4) our key suppliers to require acceleration of payments to them or our customers to delay payments to us. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We have made and may continue to make strategic acquisitions of other companies or businesses and these acquisitions introduce significant risks and uncertainties, including risks related to integrating the acquired businesses, incurring additional debt, assuming contingent liabilities or diluting our existing stockholders.
In order to position ourselves to take advantage of growth opportunities, we have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions and alliances that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Successful acquisitions and alliances in the semiconductor industry are difficult to accomplish because they require, among other factors, efficient integration and aligning of product offerings and manufacturing operations and coordination of sales and marketing and research and development efforts. We face risks resulting from the expansion of our operations through acquisitions, including but not limited to: (1) the difficulty of integrating, aligning and coordinating organizations, which will likely be geographically separated and involve separate technologies and corporate cultures; (2) risks of entering new semiconductor markets or regions of the world in which we have limited experience; (3) risks associated with integrating financial reporting and internal control systems of acquired companies; (4) the risk that our due diligence in the acquisition process may not identify compliance issues or other liabilities that are in existence at the time of our acquisitions; (5) the risk that our existing or prospective customers or customers of the acquired business may delay or defer their purchasing or other decisions as we integrate new businesses and companies into our business, or that they may seek to change their existing business relationships; (6) challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other benefits from acquisitions, including difficulties in entering into new market segments in which we are not experienced; (7) the risk that our markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the technologies acquired do not prove to be those needed to be successful in those markets; (8) difficulties in expanding information technology systems and other business processes to accommodate the acquired businesses; (9) the diversion of management’s attention from the daily operations of existing businesses; and (10) negative pressure on gross margins resulting from increased operating and restructuring costs.

The integration of newly acquired businesses will also require a significant amount of time and attention from management. The diversion of management attention away from ongoing operations and key research and development, marketing or sales efforts could adversely affect ongoing operations and business relationships. Moreover, even if we were able to fully integrate a new acquisition’s business operations and other assets successfully, there can be no assurance that such integration will result in the realization of the full benefits of synergies, cost savings, innovation and operational efficiencies that may be possible or were anticipated from the acquisition or that these benefits will be achieved within a reasonable period of time. Delays in integrating our acquisitions, which could be caused by factors outside of our control, could adversely affect the intended benefits of the acquisitions to our business, financial results, financial condition and stock price.
In addition, current and prospective employees could experience uncertainty about their future with us, and as a result, we could lose key employees. These uncertainties may also impair our ability to recruit or motivate key personnel. In connection with a transaction, key employees of acquired businesses may receive substantial value in the form of change-in-control agreements, acceleration of stock options and the lifting of restrictions on other equity-based compensation rights. These amounts could impact their willingness to continue to work for us. Further, as a result of our acquisitions, we may assume liabilities from the target’s current employee benefit plans that may require us to bring plan documentation into compliance with current law, including ensuring that plans are adequately funded.
In connection with our acquisition activity, we are required by generally accepted accounting principles and SEC rules and regulations to integrate newly acquired businesses into our consolidated financial statements. The acquired businesses may not have independent audited financial statements, or if they do have independent audited financial statements, such statements may not be prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Acquired businesses may have financial controls and systems that are not compatible with our financial controls and systems, which could materially impair our ability to obtain or prepare necessary financial information concerning such businesses in a format required to allow proper integration with our systems and financial statements. In addition, immediately after an acquisition and until such time as we are able to fully integrate an acquired business into our financial statements, we may be dependent on the acquired business’ financial controls and systems for reporting and other financial information, including projections and goals for such acquired business. We may not be able to successfully prepare and file required financial statements or other financial information for the acquired business, or to integrate the acquired business into our financial controls and systems and our consolidated financial statements in a timely manner. Failure to prepare accurate financial reports for our acquired businesses in a timely manner in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States could cause material inaccuracies in our financial statements and SEC filings, which could result in the necessity to restate our financials or lead to unknown liabilities and possibly result in a material impact on our stock price.
In connection with an acquisition, it is possible that we may anticipate tax savings through integration of the newly acquired business into our business and rationalization of a combined infrastructure. As with any estimate, it is possible that the estimates of the potential savings could turn out to be incorrect.
We review goodwill associated with our acquisitions for impairment at least on an annual basis (see Part II, Item 7: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” Note 2: “Significant Accounting Policies—Goodwill” and Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” of the notes to our consolidated audited financial statements located elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information about goodwill). In the past, we have recorded goodwill impairment charges related to certain of our acquisitions. Factors we consider important that could result in a subsequent impairment to goodwill include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use of our assets or the strategy for our overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends. We may have further material goodwill impairments which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we may also issue equity securities to pay for future acquisitions or alliances, which could be dilutive to existing stockholders. We may also incur debt or assume contingent liabilities in connection with acquisitions and alliances, which could harm our operating results. In any such case, it is possible that factors outside of our control, including but not limited to increases in interest rates and loss of key customers, could adversely affect the intended benefits from an acquisition, even though we would continue to have a repayment obligation under the related loan agreement.
Our gross profit is dependent on a number of factors, including our level of capacity utilization and realizing expected synergies from acquisitions.
Semiconductor manufacturing requires significant capital investment, leading to high fixed costs, including depreciation expense. We believe that our success materially depends on our ability to maintain or improve our current margin levels related to our manufacturing. For instance, if we are unable to utilize our manufacturing and testing facilities at a high level, the fixed costs associated with these facilities will not be fully absorbed, resulting in higher average unit costs and lower gross profits.
Moreover, we believe that we will need to continue to improve the margin levels of our System Solutions Group business and successfully execute on available opportunities in order to realize the intended benefits of this transaction. While we anticipate that certain cost reduction measures taken, including voluntary retirement programs implemented in 2013 and 2014, should improve its margin levels, we may not be able to benefit fully from such actions.
The failure to successfully implement profitability enhancement programs and cost reductions, including restructuring activities, could adversely affect our business.
From time to time, we have implemented various cost reduction initiatives in response to, among other factors, significant downturns in our industry. These initiatives have included accelerating our manufacturing moves into lower cost regions, transitioning higher-cost external supply to internal manufacturing, working with our material suppliers to further lower costs, personnel reductions, reductions in employee compensation, temporary shutdowns of facilities with mandatory vacation and aggressively streamlining our overhead. In the past, we have recorded net restructuring charges to cover costs associated with our cost reduction initiatives. These costs have been primarily composed of employee separation costs and asset impairments. See Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information on restructuring activities.
We also often undertake restructuring activities in connection with our business acquisitions, which can result in significant charges, including charges for severance payments to terminated employees and asset impairment charges.
We cannot assure you that our restructuring plans and cost reduction initiatives will be successfully or timely implemented, or that they will materially and positively impact our profitability. Because our restructuring activities involve changes to many aspects of our business, the cost reductions could adversely impact productivity and sales to an extent we have not anticipated. Even if we fully execute and implement these activities and they generate the anticipated cost savings, there may be other unforeseeable and unintended factors or consequences that could adversely impact our profitability and business, including unintended employee attrition.
For additional information regarding our profitability enhancement programs and cost reduction measures, see Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

If we are unable to implement our business strategy, our revenues and profitability may be adversely affected.
Our future financial performance and success are largely dependent on our ability to implement our business strategy successfully. Our present business strategy to build upon our position as a global supplier of power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components includes, without limitation, plans to: (1) continue to aggressively manage, maintain and refine our product portfolio; (2) continue to develop leading edge customer support services; (3) further expand our just-in-time delivery capabilities; (4) increase our die manufacturing capacity in a cost-effective manner; (5) further reduce the number of our product platforms and process flows; (6) rationalize our manufacturing operations; (7) relocate manufacturing operations or outsource to lower cost regions; (8) reduce selling and administrative expenses; (9) manage capital expenditures to forecasted production demands; (10) actively manage working capital; (11) develop new products in a more efficient manner; and (12) integrate newly acquired products, manufacturing capabilities and sales channels. We cannot assure you that we will successfully implement our business strategy or that implementing our strategy will sustain or improve our results of operations. In particular, we cannot assure you that we will be able to build our position in markets with high growth potential, increase our volume or revenue, rationalize our manufacturing operations or reduce our costs and expenses.
Our business strategy is based on our assumptions about the future demand for our current products, and the new products and applications that we are developing, and on our ability to produce our products profitably. Each of these factors depends on our ability, among other factors, to finance our operating and product development activities, maintain high quality and efficient manufacturing operations, relocate and close manufacturing facilities and reduce operating expenses as part of our ongoing cost restructuring with minimal disruption to our operations, access quality raw materials and contract manufacturing services in a cost-effective and timely manner, protect our IP portfolio and attract and retain highly-skilled technical, managerial, marketing and finance personnel. Several of these factors and other factors that could affect our ability to implement our business strategy, such as risks associated with international operations, the threat or occurrence of armed international conflict and terrorist activities, the impact of natural disasters and cyber attacks, increased competition, legal developments and general economic conditions, are beyond our control. In addition, circumstances beyond our control and changes in our business or industry may require us to change our business strategy.
We may be unable to make the substantial research and development investments required to remain competitive in our business.
The semiconductor industry requires substantial investment in research and development in order to develop and bring to market new and enhanced technologies and products. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources to maintain the level of investment in research and development that is required to remain competitive.
An inability to introduce new products could adversely affect us, and changing technologies or consumption patterns could reduce the demand for our products.
Rapidly changing technologies and industry standards, along with frequent new product introductions, characterize the industries that are currently the primary end-users of semiconductors. As these industries evolve and introduce new products, our success will depend on our ability to predict and adapt to these changes in a timely and cost-effective manner by designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing and providing customer support for our own new products and technologies. The development of new products is a complex and time-consuming process and often requires significant capital investment. Additionally, expenditures for technology and product development are generally made before the commercial viability for such developments can be assured. There can be no assurance that we will win competitive bid selection processes, known as “design wins,” for new products. New products and enhancements to existing products can require long development and testing periods. Significant delays in new product releases or significant problems in creating new products, including any delays in establishing sufficient manufacturing capacity, could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue. In addition, design wins do not guarantee that we will make customer sales or that we will generate sufficient revenue to recover design and development investments.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify changes in the product markets and requirements of our customers and end-users, including changes due to evolving consumer preferences, international political developments influencing end-user preferences, and natural disasters or other extraordinary events that impact our customers or end-users and adapt to such changes in a timely and cost-effective manner. Nor can we assure you that products or technologies that may be developed in the future by our competitors and others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. There is no assurance that the products we develop and market will be well received by customers, that we will realize a return on the capital expended to develop new products, that a significant investment in new products will be profitable or that we will have margins as high as we anticipate at the time of investment or have experienced historically. Further, a fundamental shift in technologies or consumption patterns in our existing product markets or the product markets of our customers or end-users could have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects.
Uncertainties involving the timing and amount of orders, and payment for, our products could adversely affect our business.
Our sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders or customer agreements and we generally do not have long-term supply arrangements with our customers. Generally, our customers may cancel orders 30 days prior to shipment for standard products and 90 days for custom products without incurring a significant penalty. We routinely generate inventory based on customers’ estimates of demand for their products, which is difficult to predict. This difficulty may be compounded when we sell to OEMs indirectly through distributors or contract manufacturers, or both, as our forecasts for demand are then based on estimates provided by multiple parties. In addition, our customers may change their inventory practices on short notice for any reason. Furthermore, short customer lead times are standard in the industry due to overcapacity. The cancellation or deferral of product orders, the return of previously sold products or overproduction due to the failure of anticipated orders to materialize could result in excess obsolete inventory, which could result in write-downs of inventory or the incurrence of significant cancellation penalties under our arrangements with our raw materials and equipment suppliers.
Competition in our industry could prevent us from maintaining our revenues and from raising prices to offset increases in costs.
The semiconductor industry is highly competitive and our ability to compete successfully depends on elements both within and outside of our control, including industry and general economic trends. Although only a few companies compete with us in most of our product lines, we face significant competition within each of our product lines from major global semiconductor companies as well as smaller companies focused on specific market niches. Because our components are often building block semiconductors that, in some cases, are integrated into more complex ICs, we also face competition from manufacturers of ICs, ASICs and fully customized ICs, as well as from customers who develop their own IC products. In addition, companies not currently in direct competition with us may introduce competing products in the future. In different product lines we compete, to varying degrees, on the basis of price, quality, technical performance, product features, product system compatibility, customized design, strategic relationships with customers, new product innovation, availability, delivery timing and reliability and customer sales and technical support. Gross margins in the industry vary by geographic region depending on local demand for the products in which semiconductors are used, such as personal computers, tablets, industrial and telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics and automotive goods. Any inability to maintain revenues or raise prices to offset increases in costs could have a material adverse effect on our gross margin and on our business and prospects as a whole.
The semiconductor components industry has also been undergoing significant restructuring and consolidation that could adversely affect our competitiveness. Many of our competitors, particularly larger competitors resulting from consolidations, may have certain advantages over us, including: substantially greater financial and other resources with which to withstand adverse economic or market conditions and pursue development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products; longer independent operating histories; presence in key markets; patent protection; and greater name recognition.

Unless we maintain manufacturing efficiency, our future profitability could be adversely affected.
Manufacturing semiconductor components involves highly complex processes that require advanced equipment. We and our competitors continuously modify these processes in an effort to improve yields and product performance. Impurities or other difficulties in the manufacturing process can lower yields. Our manufacturing efficiency will be an important factor in our future profitability, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our manufacturing efficiency or increase manufacturing efficiency to the same extent as our competitors.
From time to time, we have experienced difficulty in beginning production at new facilities, transferring production to other facilities or in effecting transitions to new manufacturing processes that have caused us to suffer delays in product deliveries or reduced yields. We cannot assure you that we will not experience manufacturing problems in achieving acceptable yields or experience product delivery delays in the future as a result of, among other conditions and events, capacity constraints, construction delays, transferring production to other facilities (including as a part of our cost reduction measures and in reaction to man-made and natural disasters, such as the 2011 flooding in Thailand), upgrading or expanding existing facilities, changing our process technologies or uncertainty as a result of the acquisition and integration of manufacturing facilities acquired as a result of our acquisition activities, any of which could result in a loss of future revenues. Our results of operations could also be adversely affected by the increase in fixed costs and operating expenses related to increases in production capacity, if revenues do not increase proportionately.
We could be required to incur significant capital expenditures for manufacturing, information technology and equipment to remain competitive, and any failure, inadequacy or delayed implementation could harm our ability to effectively operate our business. Such capital expenditures and commitments, as well as other commitments, may materially decrease our liquidity.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations and funds from external borrowings and equity issuances. Semiconductor manufacturing has historically required a constant upgrading of process technology to remain competitive, as new and enhanced semiconductor processes are developed which permit smaller, more efficient and more powerful semiconductor devices. Our manufacturing, assembly and test facilities have required and will continue to require significant investments in manufacturing technology and equipment. We have made substantial capital expenditures and installed significant production capacity to support new technologies and increased production volume. However, there can be no assurance that we will successfully develop and utilize these new technologies. There also is no assurance that the new technologies we do develop and utilize will be sufficient to support our business operations and strategies, or that we will realize a return on the capital expended to develop such new technologies.
We also may incur significant costs to implement new manufacturing and information technologies to increase our productivity and efficiency. Any such implementation, however, can be negatively impacted by failures or inadequacies of the new manufacturing or information technology and unforeseen delays in its implementation, any of which may require us to spend additional resources to correct these problems or, in some instances, to conclude that the new technology implementation should be abandoned. In the case of abandonment, we may have to recognize losses for amounts previously expended in connection with such implementation that have been capitalized on our balance sheet.
In the recent past, we have undertaken various and material cost reduction measures which we believe have been largely successful. However, these reductions, and any future reductions, may unintentionally affect our ability to remain competitive in efficiency and productivity. Ultimately, we may be forced to increase our future capital expenditures in unexpected ways to meet our operational needs in, among other areas, manufacturing, information technology and equipment. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient capital resources to make timely and necessary investments in the areas discussed above or other areas we have not identified.

We are subject to risks associated with natural disasters and other business disruptions.
Our worldwide operations are subject to natural disasters and other business disruptions from time to time, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial reporting and condition. We are susceptible to losses and interruptions caused by floods, hurricanes, typhoons, droughts, and other extreme weather conditions, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and similar natural disasters, as well as power outages, power shortages, telecommunications failures, industrial accidents, and similar events. Such events can cause direct injury or damage to our employees and property, including our books and financial and corporate records and data, and related internal controls, and can also have significant direct and indirect consequences. For example, such events can negatively impact revenues and earnings and can significantly impact cash flow, both from decreased revenue and from increased costs associated with the event. Such costs may include expenses to restore production or to move production to other facilities, including incremental capital expenditures and costs for expedited shipping, expenses incurred with a shut-down of the damaged facility, including employee severance payments, and other unusual costs and expenses such as fixed asset impairments, inventory write-downs, charges relating to cancellation of purchase orders for excess materials and charges for restoration and recovery work. Overall costs may also be impacted by other factors, such as the under-absorption of our manufacturing and operating support overhead. For example, in the case of our facility in Roznov, Czech Republic that manufactures silicon wafers used by a number of our facilities, any natural or man-made disaster, operational disruption, or other extraordinary event that impacted the facility or regional infrastructure would have a substantial adverse effect on our ability to produce a number of our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, costs, and/or prospects if we were unable to effectively source silicon wafers on acceptable terms from qualified third parties to replace the production loss. Such events may also affect the infrastructure of the country in which the event occurs, causing water damage, power outages and rolling blackouts, transportation delays and restrictions, public health issues and economic instability and disrupting local and international supply chains. As a result, we could experience shortages of, and interruptions in supply and increased prices for, components that we source from companies located in or with operations in any such country, as well as from other suppliers whose supply chains may similarly be affected. Such shortages and interruptions may also affect our ability to communicate with our customers and suppliers and to timely deliver our products to customers and, as a result, our customers may seek substitute products from other manufacturers. In addition, damage or destruction to our books and financial and corporate records and data could adversely affect our ability to prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the historical and future reporting of our financial results and our ability to integrate the financial reporting and internal control systems of acquired companies. Responding to natural disasters and their consequences will also require a significant amount of time and attention from management. The diversion of management attention away from ongoing operations and key research and development, marketing or sales efforts could adversely affect ongoing operations and business relationships. Although we carry insurance to generally compensate for losses of the type noted above, such insurance may be subject to deductible and coverage limits and may not be adequate to cover all losses that may be incurred or continue to be available in the affected area at commercially reasonable rates and terms.
If we were to lose one of our large customers, our revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.
Product sales to our ten largest customers have traditionally accounted for a significant amount of our business. Many of our customers operate in cyclical industries, and, in the past, we have experienced significant fluctuations from period to period in the volume of our products ordered. Generally, our agreements with our customers impose no minimum or continuing obligations to purchase our products. We cannot assure you that any of our customers will not turn to other suppliers, significantly reduce orders or seek price reductions in the future or that the loss of one or more of our customers would not have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects.

The loss of our sources of raw materials or manufacturing services, or increases in the prices of such goods or services, could adversely affect our operations and productivity.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner, the costs of our raw materials increase significantly, their quality deteriorates or the raw materials give rise to compatibility or performance issues in our products. Our manufacturing processes rely on many raw materials, including polysilicon, silicon wafers, gold, copper, lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and various chemicals and gases. Generally, our agreements with suppliers impose no minimum or continuing supply obligations, and we obtain our raw materials and supplies from a large number of sources on a just-in-time basis. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. Although we believe that our current supplies of raw materials are adequate, shortages could occur in various essential materials due to interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry.
In addition, for some of our products, we are dependent upon a limited number of highly specialized suppliers for required components and materials. The number of qualified alternative suppliers for these kinds of technologies is extremely limited. The inability of such suppliers to deliver adequate supplies of production materials or other supplies could disrupt production in material ways. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will not lose our suppliers for these key technologies or that our suppliers will be able to meet performance and quality specifications or delivery schedules. Disruption or termination of our limited supply sources for these components and materials could delay our shipments of products utilizing these technologies and damage relationships with current and prospective customers.
We also use third-party contractors for some of our manufacturing activities, primarily for wafer fabrication and the assembly and testing of final goods. Our agreements with these manufacturers typically require us to forecast product needs and commit to purchase services consistent with these forecasts and, in some cases, require longer-term commitments in the early stages of the relationship. Our operations and customer relations could be materially adversely affected if these contractual relationships were disrupted or terminated, the cost of such services increased significantly, the quality of the services provided deteriorated or our forecasts proved to be materially incorrect. In any such case, arranging for replacement contractors can be time consuming and costly, and we may encounter start-up difficulties.
Regulations that impose disclosure requirements regarding the use of “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in our products will result in additional cost and expense and could result in other significant adverse effects.
Rules adopted by the SEC implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act impose diligence and disclosure requirements regarding the use of “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in our products. Compliance with these rules will result in additional cost and expense, including for due diligence to determine and verify the sources of any conflict minerals used in our products, in addition to the cost of remediation and other changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. These rules may also affect the sourcing and availability of minerals used in the manufacture of our semiconductor devices as there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering “conflict free” metals or components that can be used in our products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such metals or components in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. The cost of compliance to our service providers, foundries, subcontractors and suppliers could also be passed along to us, resulting in higher prices for the materials or components we use in our products. Also, since our supply chain is complex, we may face reputational challenges with our customers, stockholders and other stakeholders if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins of the metals used in our products. We may also encounter customers who require that all of the components of our products be certified as conflict free. If we are not able to meet customer requirements, such customers may choose to disqualify us as a supplier, which could impact our sales and the value of portions of our inventory.

Our international operations subject us to risks inherent in doing business on an international level that could adversely impact our results of operations.
A significant amount of our total revenue is derived from the Asia/Pacific region, the Americas, and Europe, and we maintain significant operations in these regions. In addition, we rely on a number of contract manufacturers whose operations are primarily located in the Asia/Pacific region. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming the risks that relate to or arise from operating in international markets. Risks inherent in doing business on an international level include, among others, the following:
| • | economic and political instability (including as a result of the threat or occurrence of armed international conflict or terrorist attacks); |
| • | changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs, customs, duties and other trade barriers; |
| • | exposure to different legal standards, customs, business practices, tariffs, duties and other trade barriers, including changes with respect to price protection, competition practices, IP, anti-corruption and environmental compliance, trade and travel restrictions, pandemics, import and export license requirements and restrictions, and accounts receivable collections; |
| • | transportation and other supply chain delays and disruptions; |
| • | power supply shortages and shutdowns; |
| • | fluctuations in raw material costs and energy costs; |
| • | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations including collective bargaining agreements and workers councils, exposure to foreign labor laws and other employment and labor issues; |
| • | currency fluctuations; |
| • | currency convertibility and repatriation; |
| • | taxation of our earnings and the earnings of our personnel; |
| • | limitations on the repatriation of earnings and potential taxation of foreign profits in the United States; |
| • | potential violations by our international employees or third party agents of international or U.S. laws relevant to foreign operations (e.g., the Federal Corrupt Practices Act); |
| • | difficulty in enforcing intellectual property rights; and |
| • | other risks relating to the administration of or changes in, or new interpretations of, the laws, regulations and policies of the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. |
In the past, we have benefited from relatively low effective tax rates because most of our income has been earned and reinvested in jurisdictions outside the U.S. Our effective tax rate is uncertain on an ongoing basis. Changes to income tax regulations in the United States and the jurisdictions in which we operate, or in the interpretation of such laws, could, under our existing tax structure, significantly increase our effective tax rate and ultimately reduce our cash flow from operations and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, business combinations and investment transactions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of various tax returns, increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes and changes in available tax credits could increase our future effective tax rate. Changes in our effective tax rate may impact our results of operations. Tax rates vary among the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our results of operations could be affected by our increasing or decreasing operations in jurisdictions with higher or lower rates, as well as by changes in rates or the laws that determine when we are subject to taxation in a specific jurisdiction.
We hold a significant amount of cash and cash equivalents outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. As we intend to reinvest certain of our foreign earnings indefinitely, this cash held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries is not readily available to meet certain of our cash requirements in
32
Table of Contents
the United States. We require a substantial amount of cash in the United States for operating requirements, debt repurchases, payments, acquisitions and stock repurchases. If we are unable to address our U.S. cash requirements through operations, through borrowings under our current debt agreements or from other sources of cash obtained at an acceptable cost, it may be necessary for us to consider repatriation of earnings that are permanently reinvested, and we may be required to pay additional taxes under current tax laws, which could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Other activities outside the United States are subject to additional risks associated with fluctuating currency values and exchange rates, hard currency shortages and controls on currency exchange. For instance, while our sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, worldwide semiconductor pricing is influenced by currency rate fluctuations.
If we fail to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, our results of operations and competitive position could deteriorate.
Our success, both generally and in connection with mergers and acquisitions, depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly-skilled design, technical, managerial, marketing and financial personnel. The market for personnel with such qualifications is highly competitive. In addition, from time to time, we have announced certain cost reductions that included the freezing of salaries and elimination of bonuses, mandatory unpaid time off, factory shutdowns and reduction in personnel. We also establish performance criteria for awards to officers and employees under bonus and other incentive plans and programs that may not be satisfied. These measures, as well as any future measures, could negatively affect morale and lead to unintended employee attrition at all levels of our organization. Moreover, we have not entered into employment agreements with all of our key personnel and our existing employment agreements do not require the employee to continue to work for us.
As employee incentives, we have issued common stock options that generally have exercise prices at the market value at the time of the grant and that are subject to vesting over time, RSUs with time-based vesting and performance-based awards. Any difficulty relating to obtaining stockholder approval of new, or amendments to, equity compensation plans could limit our ability to issue these types of awards. Our stock price at times has declined substantially, reducing the effectiveness of certain of these incentives. Loss of the services of, or failure to effectively recruit, qualified personnel, including senior managers and design engineers, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We use a significant amount of intellectual property in our business. Some of that intellectual property is currently subject to disputes with third parties, and litigation could arise in the future. If we are unable to protect the intellectual property we use, our business could be adversely affected.
We rely on various laws and regulations governing our registered and unregistered IP assets, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, mask works and copyrights to protect our products and technologies. These laws and regulations are subject to legislative and regulatory change and interpretation by courts. Additionally, some of our products and technologies are not covered by any patents or pending patent applications. With respect to our IP generally, we cannot assure you that:
| • | any of the substantial number of U.S. or foreign patents and pending patent applications that we employ in our business will not lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, abandoned or licensed to others; |
| • | any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued or have the coverage originally sought; |
| • | any of the trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, know-how or mask works that we employ in our business will not lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, abandoned or licensed to others; or |
| • | any of our pending or future trademark, copyright, or mask work applications will be issued or have the coverage originally sought. |
33
Table of Contents
In addition, our competitors or others may develop products or technologies that are similar or superior to our products or technologies, duplicate our products or technologies or design around our protected technologies. Effective IP protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in the United States and in foreign countries.
Also, we may from time to time in the future be notified of claims that we may be infringing third-party IP rights. If necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses under such IP rights. However, we cannot assure you that we will obtain such licenses or that the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to us. The failure to obtain a license from a third party for IP we use could cause us to incur substantial liabilities or to suspend the manufacture or shipment of products or our use of processes requiring the technologies. Litigation could cause us to incur significant expense by adversely affecting sales of the challenged product or technologies and diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor. In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may be required to:
| • | pay substantial damages; |
| • | indemnify customers or distributors; |
| • | cease the manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products; |
| • | expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing technologies; |
| • | discontinue the use of processes; or |
| • | obtain licenses, which may not be available on reasonable terms, to the infringing technologies. |
We cannot assure you that we would be successful in any such development or acquisition. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources.
We also seek to protect our proprietary technologies, including technologies that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors’ rights agreements with our collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that persons or institutions will not assert rights to IP arising out of our research.
We may not be able to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights, which may harm our ability to compete and adversely affect our business.
Our ability to enforce our patents, trademarks, copyrights, software licenses and other IP is subject to general litigation risks, as well as uncertainty as to the enforceability of our IP rights in various countries. When we seek to enforce our rights, we are often subject to claims that the IP right is invalid, is otherwise not enforceable or is licensed to the party against whom we are asserting a claim. In addition, our assertion of IP rights often results in the other party seeking to assert alleged IP rights of its own against us, which may adversely impact our business. An unfavorable ruling in these sorts of matters could include money damages or, in cases for which injunctive relief is sought, an injunction prohibiting us from manufacturing or selling one or more products, which could in turn negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We can provide no assurances as to the outcome of these claims asserted by other parties with respect to their alleged IP rights.
We are subject to litigation risks, including securities class action litigation, which may be costly to defend and the outcome of which is uncertain.
All industries, including the semiconductor industry, are subject to legal claims, including securities litigation, litigation in connection with acquisitions and litigation over executive compensation and disclosure of executive compensation. The price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile, and we can provide no assurance that securities litigation will not be filed against us in the future. In addition, we can
34
Table of Contents
provide no assurance that our past or future acquisitions and executive compensation will not subject us to additional litigation. This sort of litigation can be particularly costly and may divert the attention of our management and our resources in general. We are involved in a variety of legal matters, most of which we consider either routine matters that arise in the normal course of business or immaterial for our aggregate business operations. These routine matters typically fall into broad categories such as those involving suppliers and customers, employment and labor and IP. We believe it is unlikely that the final outcome of these legal claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that we believe have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal claim or proceeding could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Further, uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of securities or other litigation could harm our ability to obtain credit and financing for our operations and to compete in the marketplace. See Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” of this report for more information on our legal proceedings.
We are exposed to increased costs and risks associated with complying with increasing and new regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards.
Like most publicly traded companies, we incur significant cost and spend a significant amount of management time and internal resources to comply with changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, which requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and attestations of the effectiveness of these systems by our management and by our independent registered public accounting firm. As we continue to make strategic acquisitions, mergers and alliances, the integration of these businesses increases the complexity of our systems of controls. While we devote significant resources and time to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), we cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we design, implement and maintain adequate control over our financial process and reporting in the future.
There can be no assurance that we or our independent registered public accounting firm will not identify a material weakness in the combined company’s internal control over financial reporting in the future. Failure to comply with SOX, including delaying or failing to successfully integrate our acquisitions into our internal control over financial reporting or the identification and reporting of a material weakness, may cause investors to lose confidence in our consolidated financial statements or even in our ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of such transactions, and the trading price of our common stock may decline. In addition, if we fail to remedy any material weakness, our investors and others may lose confidence in our financial statements, our financial statements may be materially inaccurate, our access to capital markets may be restricted and the trading price of our common stock may decline. See Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of this report for information on disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.
Environmental and other regulatory matters could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and could require expenditures that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our manufacturing operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations relating to the management, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and the emission and discharge of pollutants into the air, water and ground. Our operations are also subject to laws and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, which, among other requirements, regulate employee exposure to hazardous substances. Motorola has agreed to indemnify us for certain environmental and health and safety liabilities related to the conduct or operation of our business or Motorola’s ownership, occupancy or use of real property occurring prior to the closing of our 1999 recapitalization and spinout from Motorola. We also have purchased environmental insurance to cover certain claims related to historical contamination and future releases of hazardous substances. However, we cannot assure you that such indemnification arrangements and insurance policy will cover all material environmental costs. In addition, the nature of our operations exposes us to the continuing risk of environmental and health and safety liabilities.
35
Table of Contents
Based on information currently available to us, we believe that the future cost of compliance with existing environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, and any liability for currently known environmental conditions, will not have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects. However, we cannot predict:
| • | changes in environmental or health and safety laws or regulations; |
| • | the manner in which environmental or health and safety laws or regulations will be enforced, administered or interpreted; |
| • | our ability to enforce and collect under indemnity agreements and insurance policies relating to environmental liabilities; |
| • | the cost of compliance with future environmental or health and safety laws or regulations or the costs associated with any future environmental claims, including the cost of clean-up of currently unknown environmental conditions; or |
| • | the cost of fines, penalties or other legal liability, should we fail to comply with environmental or health and safety laws or regulations. |
Warranty claims, product liability claims and product recalls could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Manufacturing semiconductors is a highly complex and precise process, requiring production in a tightly controlled, clean environment. Minute impurities in our manufacturing materials, contaminants in the manufacturing environment, manufacturing equipment failures, and other defects can cause our products to be non-compliant with customer requirements or otherwise nonfunctional. We face an inherent business risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that our products fail to perform as expected or such failure of our products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury or property damage (or both). In addition, if any of our designed products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in their recall. As suppliers become more integrally involved in the electrical design, OEMs are increasingly expecting them to warrant their products and are increasingly looking to them for contributions when faced with product liability claims or recalls. A successful warranty or product liability claim against us in excess of our available insurance coverage, if any, and established reserves, or a requirement that we participate in a product recall, would have adverse effects (that could be material) on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, in the event that our products fail to perform as expected or such failure of our products results, our reputation may be damaged, which could make it more difficult for us to sell our products to existing and prospective customers and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Since a defect or failure in our product could give rise to failures in the goods that incorporate them (and consequential claims for damages against our customers from their customers), we may face claims for damages that are disproportionate to the revenues and profits we receive from the products involved. In certain instances, we attempt to limit our liability through our standard terms and conditions of sale and other customer contracts. There is no assurance that such limitations will be effective.
New legal requirements, particularly with respect to health care reform, could increase the cost of our employee benefits and adversely affect our business, liquidity and results of operations.
We incur significant costs to maintain competitive employee benefits to attract and retain our highly skilled personnel. Changes to the regulatory environment with respect to these benefits could adversely affect our business, liquidity and results of operations. In particular, the health care reform legislation enacted by the U.S. Congress is intended to result in significant changes to the U.S. health care system. This legislation may lead to additional costs related to the implementation of the new healthcare regulations and may impair our ability to provide the same level of coverage.

We may be subject to disruptions or breaches of our secured network that could damage our reputation and harm our business and operating results.
We may be subject to disruptions or breaches of our secured network caused by computer viruses, illegal hacking, or acts of vandalism or terrorism. Additionally, the proprietary, sensitive or confidential information we manage and store may be subject to accidental loss, misuse, inadvertent disclosure or unapproved dissemination. Our security measures and/or those of our third party service providers may not detect or prevent such security breaches. In some cases, we may initially be unaware of an incident or its magnitude or effects. The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs and security vulnerabilities could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions and delays that may impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions. We also provide certain confidential and proprietary information to our third party service providers and other business partners, and the systems of these third parties could be subject to security breaches or otherwise compromised. Any such compromise of our information security could result in the unauthorized publication of our confidential business or proprietary information or that of other parties with which we do business, cause an interruption in our operations, result in the unauthorized release of customer or employee data, result in a violation of privacy or other laws, expose us to a risk of litigation or damage our reputation, which could harm our business and operating results.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Our Indebtedness
Our substantial debt could impair our financial condition and adversely affect our ability to operate our business.
Despite the fact that we have recently retired some debt with existing cash flow, we have substantial debt service obligations. In addition, we incurred debt to acquire Aptina and may incur additional debt in the future, subject to certain limitations contained in our debt instruments from time to time. The degree to which we are leveraged could have important consequences to our potential and current investors, including:
| • | our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired; |
| • | the timing, amount and execution of our capital allocation policy, including our share repurchase program, could be affected by the degree to which we are leveraged; |
| • | a significant portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of interest and principal on our debt, which reduces the funds available to us for our operations; |
| • | some of our debt is and will continue to be at variable rates of interest, which may result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in market interest rates; |
| • | our debt agreements may contain, and any agreements to refinance our debt likely will contain, financial and restrictive covenants, and our failure to comply with them may result in an event of default which if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us; |
| • | our level of indebtedness will increase our vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse industry conditions; |
| • | as our long-term debt ages, we may need to renegotiate or repay such debt or seek additional financing (see Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this report under “Contractual Obligations” within the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section); |
| • | our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the semiconductor industry; and |
| • | our substantial leverage could place us at a competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis our competitors who may have less leverage relative to their overall capital structures. |
37
Table of Contents
We may incur more debt and may require additional capital in the future to service this new debt, which could exacerbate the risks described above.
We may need to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The agreements relating to our outstanding indebtedness from time to time may limit us and our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness. While we expect to have sufficient cash and cash equivalents for the next 12 months, if we incur additional debt, the related risks that we now face could intensify, and it is possible that we may need to raise additional capital to service this new debt and to fund our future activities. Moreover, the debt we may incur from time to time may require collateral to secure such indebtedness, which would place our assets at risk, as well as limit our flexibility related to such assets. Ultimately, we may not be able to obtain additional funding on favorable terms, or at all, and we may need to curtail our operations significantly, reduce planned capital expenditures and research and development, or be forced to obtain funds through arrangements that management did not anticipate, including disposing of our assets and relinquishing rights to certain technologies or other activities that may impair our ability to remain competitive.
The agreements relating to our indebtedness may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take some actions.
Our debt agreements from time to time may contain, and any future debt agreements may include, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on, among other decisions we might make, our ability to:
| • | incur additional debt, including guarantees; |
| • | incur liens; |
| • | sell or otherwise dispose of assets; |
| • | make some acquisitions; |
| • | engage in mergers or consolidations; |
| • | make distributions to our shareholders; |
| • | engage in restructuring activities; |
| • | engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions; and |
| • | issue or repurchase stock or other securities. |
These restrictions may limit our ability to engage in activities that could otherwise benefit us. Any future debt could contain financial and other covenants more restrictive than those that are currently applicable.
Our failure to comply with the agreements relating to our outstanding indebtedness, including as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default that could materially and adversely affect our operating results and our financial condition.
If there were an event of default under any of the agreements relating to our outstanding indebtedness, the holders of the defaulted debt could cause all amounts outstanding with respect to that debt to be due and payable immediately, which could cross default other indebtedness. We cannot assure you that our assets or cash flow would be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under our outstanding debt instruments, either upon maturity or if accelerated upon an event of default or, if we were required to repurchase any of our debt securities upon a change of control or other specified event, that we would be able to refinance or restructure the payments on those debt securities. Further, if we are unable to repay, refinance or restructure our indebtedness under our collateralized debt, the holders of such debt could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, any event of default or declaration of acceleration under one debt instrument could also result in an event of default under one or more of our other debt instruments.
38
Table of Contents
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations.
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations will depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, many of which are outside of our control. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and proceeds from sales of assets in the ordinary course of business to satisfy our debt obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling additional assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. The terms of our financing agreements from time to time may contain limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness. We cannot assure you that any refinancing would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales, or that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or would be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as on our ability to satisfy our other debt obligations. In addition, to the extent we are not able to borrow or refinance debt obligations, we may have to issue additional shares of our common stock which would have a dilutive effect to then current stockholders.
Conversion of Convertible Notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing shareholders, including holders who had previously converted their Convertible Notes, or may otherwise depress the price of our stock.
Under the terms of the 2.625% Notes, Series B, any conversions of the 2.625% Notes, Series B will be settled in cash up to the par value of the notes being converted, with the excess of the conversion value over the par value being settled in shares of common stock, subject to our ability to settle the entire amount in cash. It is our current intent to settle the per value in cash. Generally speaking, this would result in the issuance of common stock upon the conversion of the 2.625% Notes, Series B only if our common stock is trading at a value in excess of $10.50 per share and we do not elect to pay the entire amount in cash or are unable to do so. The conversion of some or all of the 2.625% Notes, Series B into common stock will dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders and may impact the value of our common stock. The 2.625% Notes, Series B will become fully convertible on June 15, 2016. Prior to that date, the 2.625% Notes, Series B will be convertible only upon the occurrence of certain extraordinary events. See Note 8: “Long Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information. The dilutive effect of the 2.625% Notes, Series B on the calculation of our earnings per share is described in Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Our Common Stock
Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline.
Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot reliably predict future revenues and profitability, and unexpected changes may impact the value of our common stock. A large portion of our costs are fixed, due in part to our significant sales, research and development and manufacturing costs. Thus, small declines in revenues could negatively affect our operating results in any given quarter. In addition to the other factors described above, factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include:
| • | the timing and size of orders from our customers, including cancellations and reschedulings; |
| • | the timing of introduction of new products; |
| • | the gain or loss of significant customers, including as a result of industry consolidation or as a result of our acquisitions; |
| • | seasonality in some of our target markets; |
| • | changes in the mix of products we sell; |
| • | changes in demand by the end-users of our customers’ products; |
39
Table of Contents
| • | market acceptance of our current and future products; |
| • | variability of our customers’ product life cycles; |
| • | availability of supplies and manufacturing services; |
| • | changes in manufacturing yields or other factors affecting the cost of goods sold, such as the cost and availability of raw materials and the extent of utilization of manufacturing capacity; |
| • | changes in the prices of our products, which can be affected by the level of our customers’ and end-users’ demand, technological change, product obsolescence, competition or other factors; |
| • | cancellations, changes or delays of deliveries to us by our third-party manufacturers, including as a result of the availability of manufacturing capacity and the proposed terms of manufacturing arrangements; |
| • | our liquidity and access to capital; and |
| • | our research and development activities and the funding thereof. |
Our stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors in our securities.
The stock markets in general, and the markets for high technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
The market price of the common stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, among others, some of which are beyond our control:
| • | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| • | the issuance or repurchase of shares of our common stock; |
| • | changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance; |
| • | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
| • | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, new products or product enhancements; |
| • | loss of a major customer or failure to complete significant transactions; and |
| • | additions or departures of key personnel. |
The trading price of our common stock since our initial public offering has had significant variance and we cannot accurately predict every potential risk that may materially and adversely affect our stock price.
Provisions in our charter documents may delay or prevent the acquisition of our company, which could decrease the value of our stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions that could make it harder for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions:
| • | establish advance notice requirements for submitting nominations for election to the board of directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at a meeting; |
authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock, which is preferred stock that our board of directors can create and issue without prior stockholder approval and that could be issued with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede a takeover attempt; and
| • | require the approval by holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding common stock to amend any of these provisions in our certificate of incorporation or by-laws. |

Table of Contents
Although we believe these provisions make a higher third-party bid more likely by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors, these provisions apply even if an initial offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Our corporate headquarters as well as certain design center and research and development operations are located in approximately 1.4 million square feet of building space on property that we own in Phoenix, Arizona. We also lease properties around the world for use as sales offices, design centers, research and development labs, warehouses, logistic centers, trading offices and manufacturing support. The size and/or location of these properties change from time to time based on business requirements. We operate distribution centers, which are leased or contracted through a third party, in locations throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas. See Part I, Item 1 “Business—Manufacturing Operations” located elsewhere in this report for information on properties used in our manufacturing operations. While these facilities are primarily used in manufacturing operations, they also include office, utility, laboratory, warehouse and unused space. Additionally, we own research and development facilities located in Belgium, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Switzerland, Taiwan and the United States. Our joint venture in Leshan, China also owns manufacturing, warehouse, laboratory, office and other unused space. We believe that our facilities around the world, whether owned or leased, are well maintained.
Certain of our properties are subject to encumbrances such as mortgages and liens. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information. In addition, due to local law restrictions, the land upon which our facilities are located in certain foreign locations is subject to varying long-term leases.
See Part I, Item 1 “Business—Manufacturing Operations” and “Sales, Marketing and Distribution” included elsewhere in this report for further details on our properties and “Business-Governmental Regulation” for further details on environmental regulation of our properties.

As of February 20, 2015, there were approximately 256 holders of record of our common stock and 431,315,129 shares of common stock outstanding.
We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our initial public offering. Our future dividend policy with respect to our common stock will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, debt restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Our ability to pay dividends may also be limited by tax considerations, as described in Note 15: “Income Taxes” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Our senior revolving credit facility permits us to pay cash dividends to our common stockholders, if after giving effect thereto, the senior leverage ratio (calculated in accordance with the credit agreement) does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2014, we were within the required senior leverage ratio and therefore permitted to pay cash dividends under our senior revolving credit facility. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further discussion of our revolving credit facility.

| (1) | These time periods represent our fiscal month start and end dates for the fourth quarter of 2014. |
| (2) | On August 2, 2012, we announced a share repurchase program (the “2012 Share Repurchase Program”) for up to $300.0 million of our common stock over a three year period, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. The 2012 Share Repurchase Program was terminated on December 1, 2014, and the approximately $46.3 million that remained of the total authorized amount to purchase common stock pursuant to the 2012 Share Repurchase Program was canceled. |
| (3) | On December 1, 2014, we announced a capital allocation policy and a new share repurchase program pursuant to the capital allocation policy (the “2014 Share Repurchase Program”) for up to $1 billion of our common stock over a four year period effective December 1, 2014, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. |
Under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program and the 2014 Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase our common stock from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, or by any combination of such methods or other methods. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under our debt obligations, other market and economic conditions. The 2012 Share Repurchase Program and 2014 Share Repurchase Program do not require us to purchase any particular amount of common stock and are subject to a variety of factors including the Board’s discretion. During the fourth quarter of 2014, we repurchased approximately 8.0 million shares of common stock under the 2012 Share Repurchase Program and 2014 Share Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $66.7 million, exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, at a weighted-average execution price per share of $8.31. These repurchases were made in open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. At December 31, 2014, approximately $976.0 million remained of the total authorized amount to purchase common stock pursuant to the 2014 Share Repurchase Program. This table does not include shares tendered to us to satisfy the exercise price in connection with cashless exercises of employee stock options or shares tendered to or withheld by us to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of time and performance-based restricted stock units issued to employees.

WSTS collects this information based on product shipments, which differs from how we recognize revenue on shipments to certain distributors as described in Note 2: “Significant Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report. We believe the data provided by WSTS is reliable, but we have not independently verified it. WSTS periodically revises its information. We assume no obligation to update such information. |
| (2) | Our SAM comprises the following specific WSTS product categories: (a) discrete products (all discrete semiconductors other than sensors, microwave power transistors/modules, microwave diodes, and microwave transistors, power modules, logic and optoelectronics); (b) standard analog products (amplifiers, VREGs and references, comparators, ASSP consumer, ASSP communications, ASSP computer, ASSP automotive and ASSP industrial and others); (c) standard logic products (general purpose logic); (d) standard product logic (consumer other, computer other peripherals, wired / wireless communications, automotive, industrial and multipurpose); (e) CMOS and CCD image sensors; (f) memory; (g) microcontrollers and (h) motor control modules. Our SAM is derived using the most recent information available at the time of the filing of each respective period’s annual report and is revised in subsequent periods to reflect final results. |
Worldwide semiconductor industry sales grew 31.8% in 2010, grew 0.4% in 2011, declined 2.6% in 2012, grew 4.8% in 2013, and grew 9.9% in 2014 following a pattern associated with the financial crisis, subsequent recovery and persistent economic uncertainty. The increase of 9.9% from 2013 to 2014 is related to improved global macroeconomic conditions within the semiconductor industry affecting sales in all geographic regions.

Sales in our SAM increased to $110.2 billion in 2010, decreased to $107.4 billion in 2011, decreased to $103.7 billion in 2012, increased to $104.3 billion in 2013 and increased to $112 billion in 2014. The increase of approximately 7.4% from $104.3 billion in 2013 to $112 billion in 2014 is consistent with the trend in the worldwide semiconductor market. The most recently published estimates of WSTS project a compound annual growth rate in our SAM of approximately 3% for the next three years. These projections are not ours and may not be indicative of actual results.
Recent Results
Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $3,161.8 million, an increase of approximately 14% from $2,782.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The majority of the increase was attributable to our acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense, along with other increases in our Application Products Group and Standard Products Group, partially offset by decreased revenue from our System Solutions Group. During 2014, we reported net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation of $189.7 million compared to net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation of $150.4 million in 2013. Our gross margin increased by approximately 90 basis points to 34.3% in 2014 from 33.4% in 2013, primarily driven by changes in volume and mix across certain of our product lines.
During 2014, the majority of our restructuring and cost saving initiatives were focused on our System Solutions Group, which included certain voluntary retirement programs and the planned closure of our KSS facility.
For further information with respect to our restructuring activity, including our other restructuring and cost savings programs initiated during 2014, see Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments, and Other, net” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements located elsewhere in this report.

applications that position the company to outperform the industry. Our design expertise in analog, digital, mixed signal and imaging ICs, combined with our extensive portfolio of standard products enable the company to offer comprehensive, value added solutions to our global customers for their electronics systems.
Historically, the semiconductor industry has been highly cyclical. During a down cycle, unit demand and pricing have tended to fall in tandem, resulting in revenue declines. In response to such declines, manufacturers have reduced or shut down production capacity. When new applications or other factors have caused demand to strengthen, production volumes have historically stabilized and then grown again. As market unit demand reaches levels above capacity production capabilities, shortages begin to occur, which typically causes pricing power to swing back from customers to manufacturers, thus prompting further capacity expansion. Such expansion has typically resulted in overcapacity following a decrease in demand, which has triggered another similar cycle.
Business and Macroeconomic Environment Influence on Cost Savings and Restructuring Activities
We have recognized efficiencies from implemented restructuring activities and programs and continue to implement profitability enhancement programs to improve our cost structure. However, the semiconductor industry has traditionally been highly cyclical and has often experienced significant downturns in connection with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. While there have been recent indications of improving conditions, our business environment continues to experience significant uncertainty and volatility. We have historically reviewed, and will continue to review, our cost structure, capital investments and other expenditures to align our spending and capacity with our current sales and manufacturing projections.
We have historically taken significant actions to align our overall cost structure with our expected revenue levels. Such actions continued in 2014 within our System Solutions Group. See “Results of Operations” under the heading “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net” below, along with Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, net” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further details relating to our most recent cost saving actions.
Outlook
ON Semiconductor Q1 2015 Outlook
Based upon product booking trends, backlog levels, and estimated turns levels, we estimate that our revenues will be approximately $840 million to $880 million in the first quarter of 2015. Backlog levels for the first quarter of 2015 represent approximately 80% to 85% of our anticipated first quarter 2015 revenues. We estimate average selling prices for the first quarter of 2015 will be down approximately two percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. For the first quarter of 2015, we estimate that gross margin as a percentage of revenues will be approximately 33.4% to 35.4%.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 include the operations of our acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense on August 15, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively.
Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements
During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, we revised our financial statements for 2013 and 2012 to record a deferred tax asset in a foreign subsidiary and have made adjustments in each successive period related to the foreign currency exchange rate changes associated with that item. The prior periods also include revised amounts from a change in application of an accounting convention, related to manufacturing variances, and other adjustments relating to hedging and inventory amounts. These other previously-identified errors were either uncorrected or corrected in a period subsequent to the period in which the error originated.
47
Table of Contents
We assessed the effect of the above errors in the aggregate on prior periods’ financial statements in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and 108 and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to any of our prior interim and annual financial statements.
All financial information contained herein has been revised to reflect the correction of these errors. See Note 1: “Background and Basis of Presentation” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information.

Revenues
Revenues were $3,161.8 million, $2,782.7 million and $2,894.9 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase from 2013 to 2014 was primarily attributed to approximately $262.4 million of additional revenue in the Image Sensor Group provided by the acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense, along with increases from our Application Products Group and Standard Products Group, which experienced greater revenue as a result of an improved demand environment. The increase in revenue was partially offset by decreased revenue from our System Solutions Group.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, we experienced a decline in average selling prices of approximately 5%, as compared to 2013, offset by favorable changes in volume and mix, which resulted in a net increase in revenue of approximately 14%.
The decrease in revenues from 2012 to 2013 was the result of decreased revenue in our System Solutions Group from a weakened demand environment associated with a further softening of the Japanese consumer market and a devalued Yen, which was partially offset by increased revenue from our other reportable segments.
Revenues by reportable segment for each of the three years below, were as follows (dollars in millions):

Revenues from the Application Products Group
Revenues from the Application Products Group increased by $73.6 million, or approximately 7%, from 2013 to 2014 and increased from 2012 to 2013 by $27.2 million or approximately 3%.
The 2014 increase resulted from an increase in revenues from ASIC products of $44.4 million, or approximately 9%, an increase in revenues from analog products of $13.2 million, or approximately 3%, an increase in revenues from foundry services of $8.8 million, or approximately 65%, and an increase in revenues from TMOS products of $7.8 million, or approximately 20%.
The 2013 increase resulted from an increase in revenues from analog products of $29.9 million, or approximately 8%, and an increase in revenue from TMOS products of $5.0 million, or approximately 15%, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from ASIC products of $10.4 million, or approximately 2%, and a decrease in revenues from ECL products, of $6.9 million, or approximately 15%.
Revenues from the Image Sensor Group
Revenues from the Image Sensor Group increased by $266.6 million from 2013 to 2014 and decreased from 2012 to 2013 by $10.1 million.
This increase in 2014 is primarily attributable to revenue provided by the 2014 acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense, which generated approximately $262.4 million, of revenue during 2014. Revenues from our existing image sensor business units also increased during 2014.

Revenues from the Standard Products Group
Revenues from the Standard Products Group increased by $89.2 million, or approximately 8%, from 2013 to 2014 and increased from 2012 to 2013 by $16.5 million, or approximately 1%.
The 2014 increase resulted from an increase in revenues from discrete products of $60.4 million, or approximately 14%, an increase in revenues from analog products of $24.1 million, or approximately 8%, and an increase in revenues from memory products of $11.3 million, or approximately 20%, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from TMOS products.
The 2013 increase resulted from an increase in revenues from discrete products of $24.9 million, or approximately 6%, and an increase in revenues from analog products of $8.9 million, or approximately 3%, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from TMOS products of $13.8 million, or approximately 6%.
Revenues from the System Solutions Group
Revenues from the System Solutions Group decreased by $50.3 million, or approximately 8%, from 2013 to 2014 and decreased from 2012 to 2013 by $145.8 million, or approximately 19%.
The 2014 decrease resulted from a decrease in demand from the Japanese consumer market and an increase in competition in other regions, causing a decrease in revenue from LSI products of approximately $53.8 million, or approximately 13.0%.
The 2013 decrease resulted from a softening of the Japanese consumer market, a devalued Yen, and, to a lesser extent, political tensions between Japan and China.

Our gross profit was $1,084.9 million, $929.1 million and $946.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The gross profit increase of $155.8 million, or approximately 17%, for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2013 is primarily attributable to increased revenues, along with increased capacity utilization and cost savings realized from previous restructuring activities, partially offset by decreased average selling prices and approximately $27.0 million for the expensing of the fair market value of inventory step-up from our recent acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The gross profit decrease from 2012 to 2013 is primarily attributable to decreases in gross profit in our System Solution Group as a result of lower revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 as well as smaller decreases in gross profit from our other operating segments.
Gross margin increased to approximately 34.3% during 2014 compared to approximately 33.4% during 2013. This increase was primarily driven by favorable changes in volume and mix across certain product lines as well as a larger proportion of revenues generated from our Applications Products Group, Image Sensor Group and Standard Products Group which experienced higher gross margin levels than our System Solutions Group.
The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenues from 2012 to 2013 was primarily driven by changes in volume and mix across certain product lines.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $366.6 million, $334.2 million and $367.5 million, representing approximately 11.6%, 12.0% and 12.7% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The increase in research and development expenses of $32.4 million, or approximately 10%, from 2013 to 2014 is primarily associated with approximately $38.0 million of expenses attributable to our 2014 acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense. These expenses were further increased by greater personnel costs in our Application Products Group and Standard Products Group, along with increased performance-based compensation as a result of improved performance results for 2014 compared to 2013, partially offset by decreases in our System Solutions Group attributable to decreased payroll related expenses resulting from our restructuring and cost saving activities.
51
Table of Contents
The decrease in research and development expenses from 2012 to 2013 was primarily associated with decreased payroll and related expenses resulting from our 2012 and 2013 restructuring and cost saving activities in our System Solutions Group, along with the impact of a devalued Yen.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses were $200.0 million, $171.2 million and $180.9 million, representing approximately 6.3%, 6.2% and 6.2% of revenues, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The increase in selling and marketing expenses of $28.8 million, or approximately 17%, from 2013 to 2014 is primarily associated with approximately $11.2 million of expenses attributable to our 2014 acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense, along with increased sales commissions and increased payroll related expenses associated with performance-based compensation as a result of improved performance results for 2014 compared to 2013.
The decrease in selling and marketing expenses from 2012 to 2013 was primarily attributable to decreased payroll and related expenses resulting from our 2012 and 2013 restructuring and cost saving activities in our System Solutions Group, along with the impact of a devalued Yen.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $180.9 million, $148.5 million and $160.6 million, representing approximately 5.7%, 5.3% and 5.5% of revenues, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The increase in general and administrative expenses of $32.4 million, or approximatively 22%, from 2013 to 2014 is primarily associated with approximately $9.6 million of expenses attributable to our 2014 acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense, along with increased payroll related expenses associated with performance-based compensation as a result of improved performance results for 2014 compared to 2013, in addition to approximately $8.1 million in third-party acquisition-related expenses.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses from 2012 to 2013 was primarily attributable to decreased payroll and related expenses resulting from our 2012 and 2013 restructuring and cost saving activities in our System Solutions Group, along with the impact of a devalued Yen.
Amortization of Acquisition—Related Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was $68.4 million, $33.1 million and $44.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase of $35.3 million from 2013 to 2014 is attributable to the amortization of intangible assets assumed as a result of our acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
The decrease in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets from 2012 to 2013 was primarily attributed to the impairment of certain of the System Solutions Group’s intangible assets recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net
Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net was $30.5 million, $33.2 million and $163.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The information below summarizes the major

activities in each year. For additional information, see Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, net” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
2014
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we initiated a voluntary retirement program for employees of certain of our System Solutions Group subsidiaries in Japan (the “Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program”). Approximately 350 employees opted to retire under the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, of which all employees had exited by December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized approximately $10.4 million of employee separation charges related to the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program.
In connection with the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, approximately 70 contractor positions were also identified for elimination, all of which all had exited by the end of 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014, an additional 40 positions were identified for elimination, as an extension of the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, consisting of 20 employees and 20 contractors, substantially all of which had exited by December 31, 2014.
As a result of the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, we recognized a pension curtailment benefit associated with the affected employees of $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2014, which is recorded in Restructuring, Asset Impairments and other, Net. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we initiated further voluntary retirement activities applicable to an additional 60 to 70 positions, for certain of our System Solutions Group subsidiaries in Japan, consisting of employees and contractors. Substantially all personnel had exited under this program by December 31, 2014. We anticipate total cost savings for the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, which includes the above headcounts, to be between the range of our previously disclosed expectations of $36 million to $45 million during the first year following the completion of the anticipated headcount reductions.
On October 6, 2013, we announced a plan to close KSS (the “KSS Plan”). Pursuant to the KSS Plan, a majority of the production from KSS was transferred to other of our manufacturing facilities. The KSS Plan includes the elimination of approximately 170 full time and 40 contract employees. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded approximately $7.8 million of employee separation charges and $2.3 million of exit costs related to the KSS Plan.
As a result of the KSS facility closure, we recognized a $2.1 million pension curtailment benefit associated with the affected employees during the year ended December 31, 2014, which is recorded in Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
2013
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we initiated two voluntary retirement programs for certain employees of our System Solutions Group subsidiaries in Japan. Approximately 500 employees opted to retire pursuant to the first program, and substantially all employees had retired by December 31, 2013. Approximately 170 employees had retired by December 31, 2013 under the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program. As part of these restructuring activities, approximately half of the 70 contractor positions identified for elimination were terminated by the end of 2013.
We recorded net charges of approximately $37.3 million in connection with these programs, consisting of employee severance charges of $52.9 million, partially offset by pension and related retirement liability adjustments associated with the affected employees, which resulted in a pension curtailment benefit of $15.6 million.
53
Table of Contents
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $3.1 million of restructuring charges related to the announced closure of our Aizu facility. We also released approximately $21.0 million of associated cumulative foreign currency translation gains related to our subsidiary that owned the Aizu facility, which utilized the Japanese Yen as its functional currency. The related amount was recorded as a benefit to restructuring, asset impairments and other, net on the our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. For additional information, see Note 16: “Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
We recorded approximately $10.0 million of net restructuring charges related to the KSS Plan during the year ended December 31, 2013, consisting of employee severance charges of $6.5 million and $3.5 million of asset impairment charges associated with the KSS Plan.
2012
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we initiated a voluntary retirement program for certain employees of our System Solutions Group and certain of its subsidiaries. We recorded net charges of approximately $35.9 million associated with this program, consisting of employee severance charges of $47.6 million, partially offset by $11.7 million attributed to pension plan curtailment gains.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2012, we executed a global workforce reduction program. Restructuring expenses resulting from this program consisted primarily of $11.2 million associated with employee severance charges.
We incurred additional charges related to the closure of certain of our facilities during 2012.
Indefinite and Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges
2014
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we determined that approximately $8.7 million in carrying value of goodwill relating to one of our reporting units in the Application Products Group was impaired resulting from a decline in estimated future cash flows. In connection with this impairment, we wrote-off approximately $0.9 million of intangible assets and $4.7 million of other long-lived assets. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
2012
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we evaluated the current period operating results of the System Solutions Group and re-assessed future projections for the segment. As a result, we determined that $94.4 million of carrying value for certain long-lived assets associated with the System Solutions Group and $31.6 million of related intangible assets were impaired. For additional information, see Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we further determined that approximately $14.1 million in carrying value of goodwill relating to our 2008 acquisition of Catalyst was impaired resulting from a strategic decision to invest in other business units and the resulting decline in estimated future cash flows. As part of our annual goodwill testing, it was determined that certain intangible assets associated with the Standard Products Group were impaired. In connection with this impairment, we wrote-off approximately $3.8 million of intangible assets. These goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges were recognized in our Standard Products Group segment. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.

Other Income and Expenses
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $4.5 million from $38.6 million in 2013 to $34.1 million in 2014. Additionally, interest expense decreased by $17.5 million from $56.1 million in 2012 to $38.6 million in 2013. We recorded amortization of debt discount to interest expense of $7.0 million, $11.2 million and $23.4 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our average long-term debt balance (including current maturities and net of debt discount) during 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $1,067.4 million, $977.1 million and $1,109.5 million, respectively. Our weighted average interest rate on long-term debt (including current maturities and net of debt discount) was approximately 3.2%, 3.9% and 5.1% per annum in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Key Financing and Capital Events” below for a description of our refinancing activities.
Other
Other income decreased by $5.9 million from a gain of $1.5 million in 2013 to a loss of $4.4 million in 2014. Other income decreased by $4.3 million from a gain of $5.8 million in 2012 to a gain of $1.5 million in 2013. The change from year to year is largely attributable to fluctuations in foreign currencies against the dollar for the periods presented, net of the impact from our hedging activity.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
2013
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we exchanged $60.0 million in principal value ($57.4 million of carrying value) of our 2.625% Notes for $58.5 million in principal value of our 2.625% Notes, Series B, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2.625% Notes, resulting in a loss on debt repurchase of $3.1 million. Subject to certain other terms and conditions, this transaction extended the earliest put date for the exchanged amount from December 2013 to December 2016.
See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
2012
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we exchanged $99.9 million in par value ($92.8 million of carrying value) of our 2.625% Notes for $99.9 million in par value of 2.625% Notes, Series B and $2.0 million in cash, which resulted in a loss on debt exchange of $7.8 million. Subject to certain other terms and conditions, this exchange extended the first put date of the underlying notes, which we consider to be the earliest maturity date, from December 2013 to December 2016. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million and a provision of $16.4 million and $16.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted of the reversal of $23.3 million of our previously established valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of a net deferred tax liability recorded as part of the Truesense acquisition and the reversal of $4.6 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions that were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during the year ended December 31, 2014. This is partially offset by $19.8 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations, $4.6 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions, and $3.3 million of deferred federal income taxes associated with tax deductible goodwill.
55
Table of Contents
The 2013 provision of $16.4 million included $22.2 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign operations and $0.9 million of interest on existing reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions and $2.7 million of deferred federal income taxes associated with tax deductible goodwill. This is partially offset by the reversal of $6.0 million of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries and the reversal of $3.4 million for reserves and interest for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during 2013.
The 2012 provision of $16.0 million included $21.7 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign operations, $2.6 million of deferred federal income taxes associated with tax deductible goodwill, and $0.9 million of interest on existing reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions. This is partially offset by $7.8 million of additional tax benefit recorded and the reversal of $1.4 million for reserves and interest for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during 2012.
Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely impacted by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries that have lower tax rates and earnings being higher than anticipated in countries that have higher tax rates. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 was a benefit of 0.1%, which differs from the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35%, due to our domestic tax losses and tax rate differential in our foreign subsidiaries. Our effective tax rate was also lower than the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , due to our domestic tax losses and tax rate differential in our foreign subsidiaries. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on all of our domestic and Japan related deferred tax assets; however, it is reasonably possible that a substantial portion of the valuation allowance on our domestic deferred tax assets will be reversed within one year of December 31, 2014, which is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s cash taxes. As of December 31, 2014, the valuation allowance on our domestic deferred tax assets was approximately $461.9 million.
Income taxes have not been provided on approximately $1,784.1 million of the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 over which we have sufficient influence to control the distribution of such earnings and have determined that substantially all such earnings have been reinvested indefinitely. These earnings could become subject to either or both federal income tax and foreign withholding tax if they are remitted as dividends, if foreign earnings are loaned to any of our domestic companies, or if we sell our investment in certain subsidiaries. We estimate that repatriation of these foreign earnings would generate additional taxes of approximately $178.7 million after the assumed utilization of our available net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits.

| (3) | These represent our off-balance sheet arrangements (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” for a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements). |
This table also excludes our pension obligations. We expect to make cash contributions and future pension payments to comply with local funding requirements of approximately $8.5 million in 2015. This future payment estimate assumes we continue to meet our statutory funding requirements. The timing and amount of contributions may be impacted by a number of factors, including the funded status of the plans. Beyond 2015, the actual amounts required to be contributed are dependent upon, among other things, interest rates, underlying asset returns and the impact of legislative or regulatory actions related to pension funding obligations. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for more information on our pension obligations.
Our balance of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was $517.8 million at December 31, 2014. We believe that our cash flows from operations, coupled with our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2014 include approximately $203.6 million available in the United States. In addition to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments already on hand in the United States, we have the ability to obtain cash in the United States by settling loans with our foreign subsidiaries in order to cover our domestic needs, by utilizing existing credit facilities or through new bank loans or debt obligations.
We hold a significant amount of cash and cash equivalents outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. As we intend to reinvest certain of our foreign earnings indefinitely, this cash held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries is not readily available to meet certain of our cash requirements in the United States. We require a substantial amount of cash in the United States for operating requirements, common stock and debt repurchases, payments and acquisitions. If we are unable to address our U.S. cash requirements through operations, borrowings under our current debt agreements or other sources of cash obtained
57

at an acceptable cost, it may be necessary for us to consider repatriation of earnings that are permanently reinvested, and we may be required to pay additional taxes under current tax laws, which could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt,” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a discussion of our long-term debt.
See Part II, Item 5 “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” included elsewhere in this report for a discussion of restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and our stock repurchase activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we enter into various operating leases for buildings and equipment including our mainframe computer system, desktop computers, communications, foundry equipment and service agreements relating to this equipment.
In the normal course of business, we provide standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties initiated by either our subsidiaries or us, as required for transactions including, but not limited to: material purchase commitments; agreements to mitigate collection risk; leases; utilities; and customs guarantees. Our senior revolving credit facility includes $40.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. A $0.2 million letter of credit was outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2014. We also had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit outside of our senior revolving credit facility of $6.3 million at December 31, 2014.
As part of securing financing in the normal course of business, we issued guarantees related to our capital lease obligations, equipment financing, lines of credit and real estate mortgages, which totaled approximately $113.3 million as of December 31, 2014. We are also a guarantor of SCI LLC’s non-collateralized loan with SMBC, which had a balance of $235.9 million as of December 31, 2014. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Based on historical experience and information currently available, we believe that in the foreseeable future we will not be required to make payments under the standby letters of credit or guarantee arrangements.
For our operating leases, we expect to make cash payments and incur similar expenses totaling $103.6 million as payments come due. We have not recorded any liability in connection with these operating leases, letters of credit and guarantee arrangements. See Note 12: “Commitments and Contingencies” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by us require us to indemnify the other party against losses due to IP infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, our negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.
We face risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that our products fail to perform as expected or such failure of our products results, or is alleged to result, in economic damages, bodily injury or property damage. In addition, if any of our designed products are alleged to be defective, we may be
58
Table of Contents
required to participate in their recall. Depending on the significance of any particular customer and other relevant factors, we may agree to provide more favorable rights to such customer for valid defective product claims.
We and our subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. We maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
While our future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, and we do not believe that any amounts that we may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
See Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” and Note 12: “Commitments and Contingencies” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for possible contingencies related to legal matters. See also Part I, Item 1 “Business—Government Regulation” for information on certain environmental matters.
Sources and Uses of Cash
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for research and development, to make capital expenditures, for strategic acquisitions and investments, to repurchase our common stock and other Company securities, and to pay debt service, including principal and interest and capital lease payments. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations and funds from external borrowings and equity issuances. In the near term, we expect to fund our primary cash requirements through cash generated from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand, including short-term investments.
As part of our business strategy, we review acquisition and divestiture opportunities and proposals on a regular basis. On August 15, 2014, we completed the purchase of Aptina, for a total purchase price of approximately $405.4 million in cash, of which approximately $2.9 million remained unpaid and approximately $40.0 million was held in escrow as of December 31, 2014. On April 30, 2014, we completed the purchase of Truesense, for a total purchase price of approximately $95.7 million in cash. See Note 4: “Acquisitions” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
We believe that the key factors that could affect our internal and external sources of cash include:
| • | Factors that affect our results of operations and cash flows, including the impact on our business and operations as a result of changes in demand for our products, competitive pricing pressures, effective management of our manufacturing capacity, our ability to achieve further reductions in operating expenses, the impact of our restructuring programs on our production and cost efficiency and our ability to make the research and development expenditures required to remain competitive in our business; and |
| • | Factors that affect our access to bank financing and the debt and equity capital markets that could impair our ability to obtain needed financing on acceptable terms or to respond to business opportunities and developments as they arise, including interest rate fluctuations, macroeconomic conditions, sudden reductions in the general availability of lending from banks or the related increase in cost to obtain bank financing, and our ability to maintain compliance with covenants under our debt agreements in effect from time to time. |
59
Table of Contents
Our ability to service our long-term debt, including our 2.625% Notes, Series B, to remain in compliance with the various covenants contained in our debt agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to, among other things, our future operating performance, as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control.
If we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may need to raise additional equity or borrow additional funds to achieve our longer term objectives. There can be no assurance that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us. We believe that cash flow from operating activities coupled with existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and existing credit facilities will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs, as well as enable us to maintain compliance with our various debt agreements, through at least the next twelve months. To the extent that results or events differ from our financial projections or business plans, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.
During the ordinary course of business, we evaluate our cash requirements and, if necessary, adjust our expenditures for inventory, operating expenditures and capital expenditures to reflect the current market conditions and our projected sales and demand. During 2014, we paid $204.3 million for capital expenditures, while in 2013 we paid $155.2 million. Our current projection for capital expenditures in 2015 is approximately $250 million to $270 million, of which our current minimum commitment is approximately $38.5 million. The capital expenditure levels can materially influence our available cash for other initiatives.
On October 10, 2013, we entered into an $800.0 million, five-year senior revolving credit facility. The new credit agreement amended and restated our prior agreement dated as of December 23, 2011 and significantly increased our liquidity as described under “Key Financing and Capital Events—2013 Financing Events—Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility.” We borrowed approximately $350.0 million of the $800.0 million available under the new facility. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
On December 1, 2014, we announced a capital allocation policy (the “Capital Allocation Policy”) under which we intend to return approximately 80 percent of free cash flow less repayments of long-term debt to shareholders, subject to a variety of factors, including our strategic plans, market and economic conditions and the Board’s discretion. For the purposes of the Capital Allocation Policy, we define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We also announced the 2014 Share Repurchase Program pursuant to the Capital Allocation Policy. Under the 2014 Share Repurchase Program, we intend to repurchase approximately $1 billion of our common shares over a four year period, subject to the same factors and considerations described above. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program was effective December 1, 2014, and the $300 million 2012 Stock Repurchase Program was terminated on that date. See Part II, Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” for additional information with respect to our share repurchase programs.
Cash Management
Our ability to manage cash is limited, as our primary cash inflows and outflows are dictated by the terms of our sales and supply agreements, contractual obligations, debt instruments and legal and regulatory requirements. While we have some flexibility with respect to the timing of capital equipment purchases, we must invest in capital equipment on a timely basis to allow us to maintain our manufacturing efficiency and support our platforms of new products.

Our cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by approximately $154.0 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to higher net sales, cost savings realized from our previously enacted restructuring programs and lower cash outflows from our restructuring activities.
Our ability to maintain positive operating cash flows is dependent on, among other factors, our success in achieving our revenue goals and manufacturing and operating cost targets.
Our management of our assets and liabilities, including both working capital and long-term assets and liabilities, also influences our operating cash flows, and each of these components is discussed below.
Working Capital
Working capital, calculated as total current assets less total current liabilities, fluctuates depending on end-market demand and our effective management of certain items such as receivables, inventory and payables. In times of escalating demand, our working capital requirements may be affected as we purchase additional manufacturing materials and increase production. Our working capital may also be affected by restructuring programs, which may require us to use cash for severance payments, asset transfers and contract termination costs. In addition, our working capital may be affected by acquisitions, capital activities as part of our share repurchase programs and transactions involving our convertible notes and other debt instruments. Our working capital, including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, was $765.0 million at December 31, 2014 and has fluctuated between $913.1 million and $743.5 million over the last eight quarter-ends. Although investments made to fund working capital will reduce our cash balances, these investments are necessary to support business and operating initiatives. For the year ended December 31, 2014, our working capital was most
61

significantly impacted by our capital expenditures, the acquisition of Aptina and Truesense, the repurchase of our common stock and the payments associated with our restructuring activities. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt,” Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments, and Other, net” and Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity”of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Long-Term Assets and Liabilities
Our long-term assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.
Our manufacturing rationalization plans have included efforts to utilize our existing manufacturing assets and supply arrangements more efficiently. We believe that near-term access to additional manufacturing capacity, should it be required, could be readily obtained on reasonable terms through manufacturing agreements with third parties. We will continue to look for opportunities to make strategic purchases in the future for additional capacity.
Our long-term liabilities, excluding long-term debt, consist of liabilities under our foreign defined benefit pension plans and contingent tax reserves. In regard to our foreign defined benefit pension plans, generally, our annual funding of these obligations is equal to the minimum amount legally required in each jurisdiction in which the plans operate. This annual amount is dependent upon numerous actuarial assumptions. For additional information, see Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K and see Note 15: “Income Taxes” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Key Financing and Capital Events
Overview
For the past several years, we have undertaken various measures to repurchase shares of our common stock, reduce our long-term debt, reduce related interest costs and, in some cases, extend a portion of our debt maturities to continue to provide us additional operating flexibility. Certain of these measures continued in 2014. Set forth below is a summary of certain key financing events affecting our capital structure during the last three years. For further discussion of our debt instruments see Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
2014 Financing Events
Share Repurchase Program
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we purchased approximately 13.9 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase programs for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $121.0 million, exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, at a weighted-average execution price of $8.71 per share. See Part II, Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” for additional information. See also See Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements under the heading “Equity—Share Repurchase Program” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for information on the share repurchase programs.
Amounts Drawn on Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility
During the third quarter of 2014, we drew an incremental amount of approximately $230.0 million to partially fund the purchase of Aptina. The outstanding balance of the facility as of December 31, 2014 was $350.0 million. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.

2013 Financing Events
Share Repurchase Program
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we purchased approximately 13.9 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $101.3 million, exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, at a weighted-average execution price per share of $7.29. See Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements under the heading “Equity—Share Repurchase Program” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information on the share repurchase program.
Convertible Note Exchange
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we exchanged $60.0 million in principal value ($57.4 million of carrying value) of our 2.625% Notes for $58.5 million in principal value of our 2.625% Notes, Series B, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2.625% Notes, resulting in a loss on debt repurchase of $3.1 million. Subject to certain other terms and conditions, this exchange extended the earliest put date for the exchanged amount from December 2013 to December 2016. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information. This exchange, along with the exchange in 2012 described below, was based on the exemption from registration in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Retirement of 1.875% and 2.625% Notes
On January 28, 2013, we settled the conversion obligation on the outstanding 1.875% Notes by delivering approximately $77.5 million in cash to the holders who tendered their 1.875% Notes for conversion. The excess $4.1 million over the $73.4 million in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 1.875% Notes was attributable to the conversion feature for the 1.875% Notes. The settlement of the conversion obligation on January 28, 2013 resulted in the retirement of our obligation under the 1.875% Notes.
On December 20, 2013, we exercised our option to redeem all of our outstanding 2.625% Notes. As a result, we paid the gross principal amount of $72.6 million to the holders of the 2.625% Notes and retired the outstanding obligation.
Note Payable to SMBC
On January 31, 2013, we amended and restated our seven-year non-collateralized loan obligation with SANYO Electric. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the loan agreement, SANYO Electric assigned all of its rights under the loan agreement to SMBC.
See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility
On October 10, 2013, we entered into an $800 million, five-year senior revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), the terms of which are set forth in an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 10, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, stock repurchase, and/or acquisitions. The increase in amount of the Facility further enhances our profile and provides financial flexibility to support long-term business and financial objectives. Following entry into the Credit Agreement, we borrowed $120 million of the $800 million available under the Facility. The Facility includes $40 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit, $15 million of availability for swingline loans for short-term borrowings and a foreign currency sublimit of $75 million. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.

2012 Financing Events
Share Repurchase Program
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we purchased approximately 8.8 million shares of our common stock under a share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $55.3 million, exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, at a weighted-average price per share of $6.26. See Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” under the heading “Equity—Share Repurchase Program” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Convertible Note Exchange
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we exchanged $99.9 million in par value ($92.8 million of carrying value) of our 2.625% Notes for $99.9 million in par value of our 2.625% Notes, Series B and $2.0 million in cash, resulting in a loss on debt repurchase of $7.8 million, which included the write-off of $0.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. Subject to certain other terms and conditions, this exchange extended the earliest put date for the exchanged amount from December 2013 to December 2016. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Redemption of 1.875% Notes
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we redeemed approximately $21.6 million in aggregate principal value of our 1.875% Notes for approximately $21.6 million in cash.
Retirement of Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we exercised a call option relating to our Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024. As a result, we paid the aggregate principal amount of $96.2 million to the holders of the notes and retired the outstanding obligation.
Debt Guarantees and Related Covenants
Our 2.625% Notes, Series B are subordinated to the senior indebtedness of ON Semiconductor Corporation and its guarantor subsidiaries, as defined in Note 20: “Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Statements” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, on the terms described in the indentures for such notes. As of December 31, 2014, we believe that we were in compliance with the indentures relating to our 2.625% Notes, Series B and with covenants relating to our senior revolving credit facility and various other debt agreements.
See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We believe certain of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our financial position and results of operations. We utilize the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and
64
Table of Contents
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) measurement of valuation allowances relating to trade receivables, inventories and deferred tax assets; (ii) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and allowances, warranties, and restructuring activities; (iii) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (iv) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (v) evaluations of uncertain tax positions; (vi) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations; and (vi) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, if applicable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue. We generate revenue from sales of our semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. We also generate revenue, although to a much lesser extent, from manufacturing services provided to customers. Distributor revenue is recognized in various ways within the industry, dependent on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement with distributors. Some entities recognize revenue upon sale to the distributor, while others, like us, recognize revenue when the sale is made to the end customer, where the facts and circumstances of the distributor arrangements allow for such recognition. Additionally, there can often be a lag in the data collection from distributors, which may have an effect on our revenue recognition. Due to our high distributor sales, revenue recognition is a critical accounting policy.
We recognize revenue on sales to OEMs, distributors that are not entitled to returns and allowances, and electronic manufacturing service providers, net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer (which is generally upon shipment), the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
For products sold to distributors who are entitled to returns and allowances, we recognize the related revenue and cost of revenues when we are informed by the distributor that it has resold the products to the end-user. As a result of our inability to reliably estimate up front the effects of the returns and allowances with these distributors, we defer the related revenue and gross margin on sales to these distributors until we are informed by the distributor that the products have been resold to the end-user, at which point the ultimate sales price is known. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days.
Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the statement of operations.
Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. Our OEM customers do not have the right to return our products, other than pursuant to the provisions of our standard warranty. Sales to distributors, however, are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Under our general agreements, distributors are allowed to return any product that we have removed from our price book. In addition, agreements with our distributors typically contain standard stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns. However, since we defer recognition of revenue and gross profit on sales to distributors until the distributor resells the product due to our inability to reliably estimate up front the effect of the returns and allowances with these distributors, sales returns and allowances have minimal impact on our results of operations. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. We review warranty and related claims activity and record provisions, as necessary.
We generally warrant that products sold to our customers will, at the time of shipment be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to our specifications. Subject to certain exceptions, our standard warranty extends for a period of two years. At the time revenue is recognized, we establish an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with our sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. In addition, we also offer cash discounts to certain customers for payments received by us within an agreed upon time, generally 10 days after shipment. We accrue reserves for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on experience with each customer.
65
Table of Contents
Freight and handling costs are included in the cost of revenues and are recognized as period expenses during the period in which they are incurred.
Inventories. We carry our inventories at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market and record provisions for potential excess and obsolete inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand compared to historical and projected end-user demand. These provisions can influence our results from operations. For example, when demand falls for a given part, all or a portion of the related inventory which is considered to be in excess of anticipated demand is reserved, impacting our cost of revenues and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously reserved are sold, we will generally recognize a higher than normal margin. However, the majority of product inventory that has been previously reserved is ultimately discarded. Although we do sell some products that have previously been written down, such sales have historically been relatively consistent on a quarterly basis and the related impact on our margins has not been material.
Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, we consider estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. If we determine that it is more likely than not that we will not realize all or a portion of our remaining deferred tax assets, we will increase our valuation allowance with a charge to income tax expense. Conversely, if we determine that we will more likely than not be able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the related portion of the valuation allowance will be released to income as a credit to income tax expense. We maintain a valuation allowance for our domestic deferred tax assets and most of our foreign deferred tax assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is first assessed when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived for an asset group are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. We continually apply our best judgment when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of an impaired asset group. The dynamic economic environment in which we operate and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of our impairment tests. In recent years, most of our asset groups that have been impaired consist of assets that were ultimately abandoned, sold or otherwise disposed of due to cost reduction activities and the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities. In some instances, these assets have subsequently been sold for amounts higher than their impaired value with related gains recorded in the restructuring, asset impairment and other, net line item in our consolidated statement of operations and disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Goodwill. We evaluate our goodwill for potential impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Determining the fair value of our reporting units is subjective in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions including projected net cash flows, discount and long-term growth rates. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on an income approach, whereby the fair value of the reporting unit is derived from the present value of estimated future cash flows. Estimates of the future cash flows associated with the businesses are critical to these assessments. The assumptions about future conditions include factors such as future revenues, gross profits, operating expenses, and industry trends. Changes in these estimates based on evolving economic conditions or business strategies could result in material impairment charges in future periods. We consider other valuation methods, such as the cost approach or market approach, if it is determined that these methods provide a more representative approximation of fair value. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. We consider historical rates and current market conditions when determining the discount and growth rates to use in our analysis.

The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets associated with that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets associate with the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If, during this second step, we determine that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
We have determined that our product families, which are components of our operating segments, constitute reporting units for purposes of allocating and testing goodwill. Our product families are one level below the operating segments, constituting individual businesses with our segment management conducting regular reviews of the operating results for each product family. As of each acquisition date, all goodwill acquired was assigned to the product families that were expected to benefit from the synergies of the respective acquisition. The amount of goodwill assigned to each reporting unit was the difference between the fair value of the acquired business included in a reporting unit and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities allocated to the reporting unit as of the acquisition date.
Our next annual test for impairment is expected to be performed on the first day of the fourth quarter of 2015; however, identification of a triggering event may result in the need for earlier reassessments of the recoverability of our goodwill and may result in material impairment charges in future periods.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Related Benefits. We maintain defined benefit pension plans covering certain of our non-U.S. employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs and estimated withdrawal liabilities are determined based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including discount rates for plan obligations, assumed rates of return on pension plan assets and assumed rates of compensation increase for employees participating in the plans. These assumptions are based upon management’s judgment and consultation with actuaries, considering all known trends and uncertainties. Actual results that differ from these assumptions impact the expense recognition and cash funding requirements of our pension plans. As of December 31, 2014, a one percentage point change in the discount rate utilized to determine our continuing foreign pension liabilities and expense for our continuing foreign defined benefit plans would have impacted our results by approximately $35.0 million.
Contingencies. We are involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on the available information, we evaluate the relevant range and likelihood of potential outcomes and we record the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and reasonably estimable.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
At December 31, 2014, our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $1,192.6 million. We have no interest rate exposure to rate changes on our fixed rate debt, which totaled $446.8 million. We do have interest rate exposure with respect to the $745.8 million balance on our variable interest rate debt outstanding as of
67
Table of Contents
December 31, 2014. A 50 basis point increase in interest rates would impact our expected annual interest expense for the next twelve months by approximately $3.7 million. However, some of this impact would be offset by additional interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents should rates on deposits and investments also increase.
To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of our foreign exchange hedge positions, we continually monitor our foreign exchange forward positions, both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with their underlying foreign currency exposures, from an accounting and economic perspective. However, given the inherent limitations of forecasting and the anticipatory nature of exposures intended to be hedged, we cannot assure that such programs will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates.
We are subject to risks associated with transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies, as well as the effects of translating amounts denominated in a foreign currency to the United States Dollar as a normal part of the reporting process. Our Japanese operations utilize Japanese Yen as the functional currency, which results in a translation adjustment that is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
We enter into forward foreign currency contracts that economically hedge the gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain recorded assets and liabilities in a non-functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these undesignated hedges are recognized in other income and expense immediately as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $145.7 million and $101.7 million, respectively. Our policies prohibit speculation on financial instruments, trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.
Substantially all of our revenue is transacted in U.S. dollars. However, a significant amount of our operating expenditures and capital purchases are transacted in local currencies, including Japanese Yen, Euros, Malaysian ringgit, Philippines peso, Singapore dollars, Swiss francs, Chinese renminbi, and Czech koruna. Due to the materiality of our transactions in these local currencies, our results are impacted by changes in currency exchange rates measured against the U.S. dollar. For example, we determined that based on a hypothetical weighted-average change of 10% in currency exchange rates, our results would have impacted our income before taxes by approximately $66.0 million as of December 31, 2014, assuming no offsetting hedge positions.
See Note 14: “Financial Instruments” of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further information with respect to our hedging activity.

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
On August 15, 2014, we acquired Aptina, which operated under its own set of systems and internal controls. We are separately maintaining Aptina’s systems and much of its control environment until we are able to incorporate Aptina’s processes into our own systems and control environment. We currently expect to complete the integration of Aptina’s operations into our systems and control environment by the end of the year ended December 31, 2015.
On April 30, 2014, we acquired Truesense, which operated under its own set of systems and internal controls. We are separately maintaining Truesense’s control environment until we are able to incorporate Truesense’s processes into our own control environment. We currently expect to complete the integration of Truesense’s control environment by the end of the year ended December 31, 2015.
Other than as described above, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013. We have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 excluded Aptina, which was acquired by the Company on August 15, 2014, and Truesense which was acquired on April 30, 2014. Total excluded assets of Aptina as of December 31, 2014 represent approximately 5% of consolidated assets, and Aptina’s revenues for the period from August 15, 2014 through December 31, 2014 represents approximately 7% of consolidated revenues. Total excluded assets for Truesense as of December 31, 2014 represents less than 1% of consolidated assets, and Truesense revenues for the period from April 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 represents approximately 2% of consolidated revenues.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in Part IV, Item 15 “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” of this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ON Semiconductor Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ON Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, management has excluded Aptina, Inc. (“Aptina”) and Truesense Imaging, Inc. (“Truesense”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 because they were acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2014. We have also excluded Aptina and Truesense from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Aptina and Truesense are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets represent 5% and less than 1%, respectively, and total revenues represent 7% and 2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Background and Basis of Presentation
ON Semiconductor Corporation (“ON Semiconductor”), together with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was organized into four operating segments, which also represent its four reporting segments: Application Products Group, Standard Products Group, System Solutions Group, and Image Sensor Group. Additional details on our operating segments are included in Note 18: “Segment Information.”
The Company expanded certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements
During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company revised its financial statements for 2013 and 2012 to record a deferred tax asset in a foreign subsidiary and has made adjustments in each successive period related to the foreign currency exchange rate changes associated with that item. The prior periods also include revised amounts from a change in application of an accounting convention, related to manufacturing variances, and other adjustments relating to hedging and inventory amounts. These other previously-identified errors were either uncorrected or corrected in a period subsequent to the period in which the error originated.
The Company assessed the effect of the above errors in the aggregate on prior periods’ financial statements in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and 108 and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to any of the Company’s prior interim and annual financial statements.
The Company determined that the correction of the cumulative amounts of the errors would be material to the 2014 consolidated financial statements, and as such, the Company revised its previously-issued consolidated financial statements for 2013 and 2012. The adjustments related to the years prior to fiscal 2012 are reflected as a $43.8 million decrease to the beginning accumulated deficit for fiscal 2012.
All financial information contained in the accompanying notes to these consolidation financial statements has been revised to reflect the correction of these errors.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies that represent less than 20% of the related voting stock where the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence are accounted for as cost method investments. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) measurement of valuation allowances relating to trade receivables, inventories and deferred tax assets; (ii) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and allowances, warranties, and restructuring activities; (iii) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (iv) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (v) evaluations of uncertain tax positions; (vi) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations; and (vi) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, if applicable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with reputable major financial institutions. If, due to current economic conditions, one or more of the financial institutions with which the Company maintains deposits fails, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may be at risk. Deposits with these banks generally exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, as a result of the quality of the respective financial institutions, management believes these deposits bear minimal risk.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments that have an original maturity to the Company between three months and one year, and are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost as it is the intent of the Company to hold these securities until maturity.
Short-term investments also include available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value and the net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, the Company provides non-collateralized credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for possible losses on uncollectible
90
Table of Contents
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
accounts receivable. The Company routinely analyzes accounts receivable and considers history, customer creditworthiness, facts and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, current economic trends, and payment term changes when evaluating adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For uncollectible accounts receivable, the Company records a loss against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after exhaustive efforts have been made to collect.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. General market conditions, as well as the Company’s design activities, can cause certain of its products to become obsolete. The Company writes down excess and obsolete inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand compared to historical and projected end-user demand. These write downs can influence results from operations. For example, when demand for a given part falls, all or a portion of the related inventory, that is considered to be in excess of anticipated demand, is written down, impacting cost of revenues and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously written down are sold, a higher than normal margin will generally be recognized. However, the majority of product inventory that has been previously written down is ultimately discarded. Although the Company does sell some products that have previously been written down, such sales have historically been consistently immaterial the related impact on the Company’s gross profit has also been immaterial.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 30-50 years for buildings and 3-20 years for machinery and equipment using straight-line methods. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period in which the expense is incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. A potential impairment charge is evaluated when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived from an asset group are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. Judgment is used when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of the asset group.
Business Combination Purchase Price Allocation
The allocation of the purchase price of business combinations is based on management estimates and assumptions, which utilize established valuation techniques appropriate for the high-technology industry. These techniques include the income approach, cost approach or market approach, depending upon which approach is the most appropriate based on the nature and reliability of available data. The income approach is predicated upon the value of the future cash flows that an asset is expected to generate over its economic life. The cost approach takes into account the cost to replace (or reproduce) the asset and the effects on the asset’s value of physical, functional and/or economic obsolescence that has occurred with respect to the asset. The market approach is used to estimate value from an analysis of actual transactions or offerings for economically comparable assets available as of the valuation date. See Note 4: “Acquisitions” for additional information.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the Company’s acquisitions. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and Note 4: “Acquisitions” for additional information.
The Company evaluates its goodwill for potential impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units is subjective in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including projected net cash flows, discount and long-term growth rates. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on an income approach, whereby the fair value of the reporting unit is derived from the present value of estimated future cash flows. The assumptions about estimated cash flows include factors such as future revenues, gross profits, operating expenses, and industry trends. The Company considers historical rates and current market conditions when determining the discount and long-term growth rates to use in its analysis. The Company considers other valuation methods, such as the cost approach or market approach, if it is determined that these methods provide a more representative approximation of fair value. Changes in these estimates based on evolving economic conditions or business strategies could result in material impairment charges in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets associated with that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets associated with the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If, during this second step, the Company determines that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
The Company has determined that its product families, which are components of its operating segments, constitute reporting units for purposes of allocating and testing goodwill. The Company’s product families are one level below its operating segments, with the Company’s segment management conducting regular reviews of the operating results for each product family. As of each acquisition date, all goodwill acquired was assigned to the product families that were expected to benefit from the synergies of the respective acquisition. The amount of goodwill assigned to each reporting unit was the difference between the fair value of the acquired business included in a reporting unit and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities allocated to the reporting unit as of the acquisition date.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s acquisitions have resulted in intangible assets consisting of values assigned to customer relationships; patents; developed technology; IPRD; and trademarks. These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, and are reviewed for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of the asset group containing these assets may not be recoverable. A potential impairment charge is evaluated when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived from an asset group are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. Judgment is used when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of an asset group. The dynamic economic environment in which the

Company operates and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of these impairment tests. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost, inclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, when outstanding common shares are repurchased by the Company, including when outstanding shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with certain shares pursuant to restricted stock units under the Company’s share-based compensation plans. See Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” for additional information.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the underlying agreements using the effective interest method and, for the Company’s convertible notes, are amortized through the first put date, which the Company considers to be the earliest maturity date. Upon prepayment of debt, the related unamortized debt issuance costs are charged to expense. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense while the unamortized balance is included in other assets. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt—Loss on Debt Repurchase or Exchange” for additional information.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. The Company also generates revenue, to a much lesser extent, from manufacturing services provided to customers.
The Company recognizes revenue on sales to OEMs, distributors that are not entitled to returns and allowances, electronic manufacturing service providers and on sales of manufacturing services, net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer (which is generally upon shipment), the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
For products sold to distributors who are entitled to returns and allowances, the Company recognizes the related revenue and cost of revenues when it is informed by the distributor that it has resold the products to the end-user. As a result of the Company’s inability to reliably estimate up front the effects of the returns and allowances with these distributors, the Company defers the related revenue and gross margin on sales to these distributors until it is informed by the distributor that the products have been resold to the end-user, at which time the ultimate sales price in known. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days.
Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the statement of operations.
Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. The Company’s OEM customers do not have the right to return products, other than pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s standard warranty. Sales to distributors, however, are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Under the Company’s general agreements, distributors are allowed to return any product that has been removed from the Company’s price book. In addition, agreements with distributors typically contain standard stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns.

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
However, since the Company defers recognition of revenue and gross profit on sales to distributors until the distributor resells the product, due to the inability to reliably estimate up front the effect of the returns and allowances with these distributors, sales returns and allowances have minimal impact on the results of operations. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized; and are netted against revenues. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activities and records provisions, as necessary.
The Company generally warrants that products sold to its customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to specifications. The Company’s standard warranty extends for a period that is the greater of (i) two years from the date of shipment or (ii) the period of time specified in the customer’s standard warranty (provided that the customer’s standard warranty is stated in writing and extended to purchasers at no additional charge). At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with its sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. In addition, the Company also offers cash discounts to certain customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally 10 days after shipment. The Company records a reserve for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on experience with each customer.
Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense during the period in which they are incurred.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company has outstanding awards with performance, time and service-based vesting provisions. See Note 10: “Share-Based Compensation” for additional information.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized.
In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, estimated future taxable income, as well as feasible tax planning strategies for each taxing jurisdiction are considered. If the Company determines it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the remaining deferred tax assets will not be realized, the valuation allowance will be increased with a charge to income tax expense. Conversely, if the Company determines it is more likely than not to be able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the related portion of the valuation allowance will be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
The Company recognizes and measures benefits for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that is it more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, the second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions. Evaluations are based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of tax audits and effective settlement of audit issues. Changes in the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions could result in material increases or decreases in income tax expense in the period in which the change is made, which could have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax position. See Note 15: “Income Taxes” for additional information.
Foreign Currencies
Most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries conduct business primarily in U.S. dollars and, as a result, utilize the dollar as their functional currency. For the remeasurement of financial statements of these subsidiaries, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are receivable or payable in cash are remeasured at current exchange rates, while inventories and other non-monetary assets in foreign currencies are remeasured at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of such financial statements are included in the operating results, as are gains and losses incurred on foreign currency transactions.
The Company’s Japanese subsidiaries utilize Japanese Yen as their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates in effect for the period. The related translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income or loss within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans, covering certain of its foreign employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs and pension obligations are determined based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including discount rates for plan obligations, assumed rates of return on pension plan assets and assumed rates of compensation increases for employees participating in plans. These assumptions are based upon management’s judgment and consultation with actuaries, considering all known trends and uncertainties. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” for additional information.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in a variety of legal matters, intellectual property matters, environmental, financing and indemnification contingencies that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information available, management evaluates the relevant range and likelihood of potential outcomes and records the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and reasonably estimable.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures certain of its financial and non-financial assets at fair value by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes certain inputs into individual fair value measurement approaches. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most
95

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
| • | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and |
| • | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Companies may choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected must be reported in earnings. The Company has elected not to carry any of its debt instruments at fair value. See Note 13: “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information.
Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2014-09—“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”)
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards, superceding the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605. Pursuant to ASU 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange, as applied through a multi-step process to achieve that core principle. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 4: Acquisitions
The Company pursues strategic acquisitions from time to time to leverage its existing capabilities and further build its business. Such acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Accordingly, acquisition costs are not included as components of consideration transferred, and instead are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $8.1 million, which are included in operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Approximately $27.0 million for the expensing of the acquisition related inventory fair value adjustment was charged to cost of revenues in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2014, when the inventory was sold.
In addition to the acquisitions described below, during the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company acquired an additional 10% of the non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary for a purchase price that was greater than its carrying value. The Company has reflected the difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” for additional information.

Acquisition of Aptina, Inc. (“Aptina”)
On August 15, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of Aptina for approximately $405.4 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, of which approximately $2.9 million remained unpaid as of December 31, 2014. As discussed below, approximately $40.0 million of the total consideration was held in escrow as of December 31, 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, Aptina was incorporated into the Company’s new Image Sensor Group for reporting purposes. For the period from August 15, 2014 to December 31, 2014, the Company’s results include approximately $209.0 million of revenue and a $39.2 million net loss attributable to the acquisition of Aptina, which includes $22.3 million of charges for the amortization of the inventory adjustment to fair market value, $25.5 million for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and $5.9 million for business combination severance charges. The Company expects the acquisition of Aptina expands the Company’s image-sensor business and further strengthens the Company’s position in the fast growing segment of image sensors in the automotive and industrial end-markets.

Acquired intangible assets include $51.3 million of IPRD assets, which are to be amortized over the useful life upon successful completion of the related projects. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by considering the importance of products under development to the overall development plan, reviewing costs incurred for the projects, estimating costs to develop the purchased IPRD into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present value.
Other acquired intangible assets of $206.9 million include: customer relationships of $127.5 million (two to six year useful life); developed technology of $77.1 million (six year useful life); and trademarks of $2.3 million (six month useful life).
Goodwill of $65.3 million was assigned to the Image Sensor Group. Among the factors that contributed to goodwill arising from the acquisition were the potential synergies that are expected to be derived from combining Aptina with the Company’s existing image sensor business. Goodwill as of December 31, 2014 is not deductible for tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2014, management had not yet completed its final evaluation of the fair value of certain intangible and personal property assets acquired. Changes related to the fair values during the measurement period may have an impact on the allocation of the purchase price, including values assigned to assets, liabilities and the amount of estimated goodwill represented in the table above.
Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger between the Company and the sellers of Aptina (the “Merger Agreement”), $40.0 million of the total consideration was withheld by the Company and placed into an escrow account to secure against certain indemnifiable events described in the Merger Agreement. The $40.0 million consideration held in escrow was accounted for as restricted cash as of December 31, 2014 and is included in other current assets and accrued expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Acquisition of Truesense Imaging, Inc. (“Truesense”)
On April 30, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of Truesense for approximately $95.7 million in cash. During the second quarter of 2014, Truesense was incorporated into the Company’s Application Products Group and subsequently migrated to the Image Sensor Group for reporting purposes during the quarter ended September 26, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $53.4 million and a net loss of approximately $0.3 million, attributable to the acquisition of Truesense, which includes $4.7 million of charges for the for the inventory adjustment to fair market value, $10.4 million for the amortization of acquired intangible assets
The Company expects the acquisition of Truesense to strengthen the Company’s product portfolio targeting industrial end-markets such as machine vision, surveillance, and intelligent transportation systems by complementing the Company’s existing high-speed, high-resolution, power-efficient image sensing solutions with Truesense’s high-performance image sensors for low-light, low-noise.

Note 5: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level which is one level below the Company’s operating segments. During the first step of the Company’s annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill for all of its reporting units was recoverable.
During the Company’s annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarters of 2014 and 2012, the Company determined that the fair value of certain of its reporting units were less than the carrying value. As a result of the 2014 impairment analysis, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million relating to one of its reporting units in the Company’s Application Products Group operating segment. As a result of the 2012 impairment analysis, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $14.1 million relating to one of its reporting units in the Company’s Standard Products Group operating segment.

The Company uses the income approach, based on estimated future cash flows, to perform the goodwill impairment test. These estimates include assumptions about future conditions such as future revenues, gross profits, operating expenses, and industry trends. The Company considers other valuation methods, such as the cost approach or market approach, if it determines that these methods provide a more representative approximation of fair value. The material assumptions used for the income approach for 2014 and 2013, for reporting units for which no impairment charges were necessary, included projected net cash flows, a weighted-average discount rate of approximately 11% and 14%, respectively, and a weighted-average long-term growth rate of 3% and 4%, respectively. The Company considered historical rates and current market conditions when determining the discount and growth rates to use in the Company’s analysis.

The activity related to the Company’s significant restructuring programs that were either initiated in 2014 or had not been completed as of December 31, 2014, are as follows:
System Solutions Group Voluntary Retirement Programs
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company initiated a voluntary retirement program for employees of certain of its System Solutions Group subsidiaries in Japan (the “Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program”). Approximately 350 employees opted to retire under the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, of which all employees had exited by December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized approximately $10.4 million of employee separation charges related to the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program.
In connection with the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, approximately 70 contractor positions were also identified for elimination, of which all were exited by the end of 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014, an additional 40 positions were identified for elimination, as an extension of the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, consisting of 20 employees and 20 contractors, substantially all of which had exited by December 31, 2014.
As a result of the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, the Company recognized a pension curtailment benefit associated with the affected employees of $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2014, which is recorded in restructuring, asset Impairments and other, net. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” for additional information.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company initiated further voluntary retirement activities applicable to an additional 60 to 70 positions, for certain of its System Solutions Group subsidiaries in Japan, consisting of employees and contractors. Substantially all personnel had exited and been paid under this program by December 31, 2014.
KSS Facility Closure
On October 6, 2013, the Company announced a plan to close KSS (the “KSS Plan”). Pursuant to the KSS Plan, a majority of the production from KSS was transferred to other Company manufacturing facilities. The KSS Plan includes the elimination of approximately 170 full time and 40 contract employees. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded approximately $7.8 million of employee separation charges and $2.3 million of exit costs related to the KSS Plan. The Company expects to record additional KSS Plan severance costs and related employee benefit plan expenses of approximately $0.3 million along with other exit costs of approximately $0.5 million. Approximately 4 employees remain to exit under this program.
As a result of the KSS facility closure, the Company recognized a $2.1 million pension curtailment benefit associated with the affected employees during the year ended December 31, 2014, which is recorded in restructuring, asset impairments and other, net. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” for additional information.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment
As further described below, the Company recognized a loss of $3.1 million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for the exchange or repurchase of certain of its convertible senior subordinated notes.
2013 Exchange
On March 22, 2013, the Company closed an exchange offer for $60.0 million in principal value (approximately $57.4 million of carrying value) of its 2.625% Notes in exchange for $58.5 million in principal value of its 2.625% Notes, Series B plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2.625% Notes. Subject to certain other terms and conditions, this exchange extended the first put date, which the Company considers to be the earliest maturity date, for the exchanged amount from December 2013 to December 2016. The exchanged amount of the 2.625% Notes, Series B was allocated between the fair value of the liability component and equity component of the convertible security. The amount allocated to the extinguishment of the liability component was based on the discounted cash flows using a rate of return an investor would have required on non-convertible debt with other terms substantially similar to the 2.625% Notes. The remaining consideration was recognized as re-acquisition of the equity component.
The difference between the consideration allocated to the liability component and the remaining net carrying amount of the liability and unamortized debt issuance costs was recorded as a loss on debt exchange of $3.1 million, which included the write-off of approximately $0.2 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The Company also recorded an adjustment to additional paid-in capital of approximately $5.9 million, net of adjustments, relating to the exchange of equity components.
2012 Exchange
On September 4, 2012, the Company exchanged $99.9 million in par value ($92.8 million of carrying value) of its 2.625% Notes for $99.9 million in par value of 2.625% Notes, Series B and $2.0 million in cash. Subject to certain other terms and conditions, this exchange extended the first put date, which the Company considers to be the earliest maturity date, for the exchanged amount from December 2013 to December 2016. The cash payment and the $99.9 million of the 2.625% Notes, Series B were allocated between the fair value of the liability component and the equity component of the convertible security. The amount allocated to the extinguishment of

the liability component was based on the discounted cash flows using a rate of return an investor would have required on non-convertible debt with other terms substantially similar to the 2.625% Notes. The remaining consideration was recognized as re-acquisition of the equity component.
The difference between the consideration allocated to the liability component and the rest of the net carrying amount of the liability and unamortized debt issuance costs was recorded as a loss on debt exchange of $7.8 million, which included the write-off of $0.6 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The Company also recorded an adjustment to additional paid-in capital in the amount of $1.9 million for the re-acquisition of the equity component.

In January 2011, SCI LLC, as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a seven-year, non-collateralized loan agreement with SANYO Electric to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Company’s acquisition of SANYO Semiconductor and certain related assets in early 2011. The loan had an original principal amount of approximately $377.5 million and had a principal balance of $235.9 million and $273.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum and provides for quarterly interest and $9.4 million in principal payments, with the unpaid balance of $122.7 million due in January 2018.
On January 31, 2013, the Company amended and restated its seven-year non-collateralized loan obligation with SANYO Electric. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the loan agreement, SANYO Electric assigned all of its rights under the loan agreement to SMBC.
Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility
The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCI LLC, entered into an $800.0 million, five-year senior revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), the terms of which are set forth in an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 10, 2013 (“Credit Agreement”) among the Company and a group of lenders. The new Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s prior credit agreement, dated as of December 23, 2011. The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes including working capital, stock repurchase, and/or acquisitions. The Company recorded $3.2 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Facility.
The Facility includes $40.0 million availability for the issuance of letters of credit, $15.0 million availability for swingline loans for short-term borrowings and a foreign currency sublimit of $75.0 million. The Company has the ability to increase the size of the Facility in increments of $10.0 million provided that the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $250.0 million.
Payments of the principal amounts of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement are due no later than October 10, 2018, which is the maturity date of the Facility. Interest is payable based on either a LIBOR or base rate option, as established at the commencement of each borrowing period, plus an applicable rate that varies based on the total leverage ratio. The Company has also agreed to pay the lenders certain fees, including a commitment fee that varies based on the total leverage ratio. The Company may prepay loans under the Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, upon payment of accrued interest and break funding payments, if applicable.
The obligations under the Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and SCI LLC and are collateralized by a pledge of the equity interests in certain of the Company’s and SCI LLC’s domestic subsidiaries and material first tier foreign subsidiaries.

tendered for conversion in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if applicable, subject to the Company’s right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders have the option to convert their 2.625% Notes, Series B under the following circumstances: (i) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 103% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (ii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the Indenture relating to the 2.625% Notes, Series B; or (iii) after June 15, 2016. The Company determined that the conversion option based on a trading price condition meets the definition of a derivative, and should be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately. The fair value of this feature was determined to be de minimis at the date of issuance and continued to be so through December 31, 2014.
The 2.625% Notes, Series B mature on December 15, 2026. Beginning December 20, 2016, the Company could redeem the 2.625% Notes, Series B, in whole or in part, for cash at a price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a holder elects to convert its 2.625% Notes, Series B in connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes that occur prior to December 15, 2016, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to cash and shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate, an additional number of shares of common stock, in each case as described in the Indenture. Notwithstanding these conversion rate adjustments, these 2.625% Notes, Series B contain an explicit limit on the number of shares issuable upon conversion. Holders may require the Company to repurchase the 2.625% Notes, Series B for cash on December 15, 2016 and 2021 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such 2.625% Notes, Series B, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, each holder could require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s 2.625% Notes, Series B for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
Included in other assets as of December 31, 2014 were $0.9 million of debt issuance costs associated with the 2.625% Notes, Series B, which will be amortized using the effective interest method through 2016. Included in long-term debt as of December 31, 2014 was $14.7 million of unamortized debt discount associated with the 2.625% Notes, Series B, which will be amortized using the effective interest method through 2016.

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and assumed issuance of shares relating to restricted stock units is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Share-based awards whose impact is considered to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation. The excluded number of anti-dilutive share-based awards were approximately 6.1 million, 12.3 million and 15.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The dilutive impact related to the Company’s 2.625% Notes, Series B is determined in accordance with the net share settlement requirements prescribed by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Under the net share settlement calculation, the Company’s convertible notes are assumed to be convertible into cash up to the par value, with the excess of par value being convertible into common stock. A dilutive effect occurs when the stock price exceeds the conversion price for each of the convertible notes. In periods when the share price is lower than the conversion price, including 2014, 2013 and 2012, the impact is anti-dilutive and therefore has no impact on the Company’s earnings per share calculations. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” for a discussion of the conversion prices and other features of the 2.625% Notes, Series B.
Equity
Share Repurchase Program
Effective August 1, 2012, the Company implemented a share repurchase program (the “2012 Share Repurchase Program”) for up to $300.0 million of its common stock over a three year period exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. This program was terminated on December 1, 2014 with approximately $46.3 million remaining of the total authorized amount.
On December 1, 2014, the Company announced a capital allocation policy (the “Capital Allocation Policy”) under which the Company intends to return to shareholders approximately 80 percent of free cash flow, less repayments of long-term debt, subject to a variety of factors, including our strategic plans, market and economic conditions and the Board’s discretion. For the purposes of the Capital Allocation Policy, the Company defines

The Company also announced a new share repurchase program (the “2014 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to the Capital Allocation Policy. Under the 2014 Share Repurchase Program, the Company intends to repurchase approximately $1 billion of its common shares over a four year period, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses, subject to the same factors and considerations described above. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program was effective December 1, 2014, and the 2012 Stock Repurchase Program was terminated on that date.

Shares for Restricted Stock Units Tax Withholding
Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Shares, with a fair market value equal to the applicable statutory minimum amount of the employee withholding taxes due, are withheld by the Company upon the vesting of restricted stock units to pay the applicable statutory minimum amount of employee withholding taxes and are considered common stock repurchases. The Company then pays the applicable statutory minimum amount of withholding taxes in cash. The amounts remitted in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $9.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld approximately 1.0 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the restricted stock units that vested. None of these shares had been reissued or retired as of December 31, 2014, but may be reissued or retired by the Company at a later date.
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company’s entity which operates assembly and test operations in Leshan, China is owned by a joint venture company, Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited (“Leshan”). The Company owns a majority of the outstanding equity interests in Leshan and its investment in Leshan has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company acquired an additional 10% of the outstanding equity interest in Leshan for approximately $20.4 million, which was greater than the $10.1 million carrying value of the representative interest in Leshan at the time of the transaction. The Company has recorded the $10.3 million difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2014.
At December 31, 2013, the non-controlling interest balance was $32.8 million. This balance was decreased to $20.9 million at December 31, 2014 due to the non-controlling interest’s $2.4 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014, offset by approximately $10.1 million for the acquisition of additional equity interests and $4.2 million of dividends paid to the non-controlling shareholder.
At December 31, 2012, the non-controlling interest balance was $29.6 million. This balance increased to $32.8 million at December 31, 2013 due to the non-controlling interest’s $3.2 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2014, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock units with time-based service conditions and performance-based vesting criteria granted prior to that date was $46.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $10.4 million. The Company recorded cash received from the exercise of stock options of $24.9 million and cash from the issuance of shares under the ESPP of $10.0 million and no related tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2014. Upon option exercise, release of restricted stock units, stock grant awards, or completion of a purchase under the ESPP, the Company issues new shares of common stock.

Share-Based Compensation Information
The fair value per unit of each time based and performance based RSU and stock grant award is determined on the grant date and is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model. The lattice-based model uses: (1) a constant volatility; (2) an employee exercise behavior model (based on an analysis of historical exercise behavior); and (3) the treasury yield curve to calculate the fair value of each option grant.
The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options and the weighted-average assumptions used in the lattice model to calculate the weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows, there were no employee stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2014 (annualized percentages):
| Year Ended December 31, 2013 |

| Expected term |
5.2 years | 5.0 years | ||||||
| Weighted-average fair value per option |
$ | 2.93 | $ | 3.01 | ||||
The volatility input is developed using blended volatility. The expected term of options represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding and is computed using the lattice model’s estimated option fair value as an input to the Black-Scholes formula and solving for the expected term. The risk-free rate is based on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant with the same period as the expected term.
Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Pre-vesting forfeitures for stock options were estimated to be approximately 11%, 11% and 11% in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Pre-vesting forfeitures for restricted stock units were estimated to be approximately 5%, 5% and 4% in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Plan Descriptions
On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 SIP”) which provided key employees, directors and consultants with various equity-based incentives as described in the plan document. Prior to February 17, 2010, stockholders had approved amendments to the 2000 SIP which increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and available for grant to 30.5 million, plus an additional number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 3% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock effective automatically on January 1st of each year beginning January 1, 2005 and ending January 1, 2010. On February 17, 2010, the 2000 SIP expired and the Company ceased granting under the plan. Options granted pursuant to the 2000 SIP that remain outstanding continue to be exercisable or subject to vesting pursuant to the underlying option agreements.
On March 23, 2010, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated SIP, which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual shareholder meeting on May 18, 2010. The Amended and Restated SIP provides key employees, directors and consultants with various equity-based incentives as described in the plan document. The Amended and Restated SIP is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which is authorized to determine, among other things, the key employees, directors or consultants who will receive awards under the plan, the amount and type of award, exercise prices or
115

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
performance criteria, if applicable, and vesting schedules. On May 15, 2012, shareholders approved certain amendments to the Amended and Restated SIP to increase the number of shares of common stock subject to all awards under the Amended and Restated SIP by 33.0 million to 59.1 million, exclusive of shares of common stock subject to awards that were previously granted pursuant to the 2000 SIP that have or will become available for grant pursuant to the Amended and Restated SIP.
Generally, the options granted under the 2000 SIP and Amended and Restated SIP vest over a period of three to four years and have a term of 10 years and 7 years, respectively. Under both plans, certain outstanding options vest automatically upon a change of control, as defined in the respective plan document, provided the option holder is employed by the Company on the date of the change in control. Certain other outstanding options may also vest upon a change of control if the Board of Directors of the Company, at its discretion, provides for acceleration of the vesting of said options. Generally, upon the termination of an option holder’s employment, all unvested options will immediately terminate and vested options will generally remain exercisable for a period of 90 days after the date of termination (one year in the case of death or disability).
Generally, restricted stock units granted under the 2000 SIP and the Amended and Restated SIP vest over three to four years or based on the achievement of certain performance criteria and are payable in shares of the Company’s stock upon vesting.
As of December 31, 2014, there was an aggregate of 35.2 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Amended and Restated SIP.

Note 11: Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company maintains defined benefit plans for employees of certain of its foreign subsidiaries. Such plans conform to local practice in terms of providing minimum benefits mandated by law, collective agreements or customary practice. The Company recognizes the aggregate amount of all overfunded plans as assets and the aggregate amount of all underfunded plans as liabilities in its financial statements. The Company’s expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is updated at least annually, taking into consideration its asset allocation, historical returns on similar types of assets and the current economic environment. For estimation purposes, the Company assumes its long-term asset mix will generally be consistent with the current mix. The Company determines its discount rates using highly rated corporate bond yields and government bond yields.
Benefits under all of the Company’s plans are valued utilizing the projected unit credit cost method. The Company’s policy is to fund its defined benefit plans in accordance with local requirements and regulations. The funding is primarily driven by the Company’s current assessment of the economic environment and projected benefit payments of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s measurement date for determining its defined benefit obligations for all plans is December 31 of each year.
The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses in the period the Company’s annual pension plan actuarial valuations are prepared, which generally occurs during the fourth quarter of each year, or during any interim period where a revaluation is deemed necessary.
2014 Activity and Effect of Voluntary Retirement Programs
The Company recorded a pension curtailment gain of $6.6 million included in Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to the System Solution Group voluntary retirement programs and KSS facility closure. The Company recognized approximately $7.4 million of actuarial losses associated with these programs for the year ended December 31, 2014.

2013 Activity and Effect of Voluntary Retirement Programs
The Q1 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program for certain employees of the System Solutions Group triggered the re-measurement of the related pension assets and liabilities, resulting in an actuarial loss of $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Additionally, the Company recorded a curtailment gain of $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, in Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, net.

2012 Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed the withdrawal from three multi-employer pension plans in which certain of its System Solutions Group subsidiaries participated. As a result of the withdrawal, defined benefit plans established by the Company assumed approximately $214.5 million of pension benefit obligations and received $83.6 million of plan assets. The net unfunded pension obligation of $130.9 million approximated the withdrawal liability previously established by the Company. The Company recognized expense of $10.7 million and $16.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, relating to its participation in these plans through their respective withdrawal dates. The activity for these plans prior to their withdrawal dates is not included in the tables below.

Environmental Contingencies
The Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona is located on property that is a “Superfund” site, which is a property listed on the National Priorities List and subject to clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Motorola and Freescale have been involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of the Company’s August 4, 1999 recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”), Motorola retained responsibility for this contamination, and Motorola and Freescale have agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter.
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company received various manufacturing facilities, one of which is located in the Czech Republic. In regards to this site, the Company has ongoing remediation projects to respond
123

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
to releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to the Recapitalization during the years that this facility was operated by government-owned entities. In each case, the remediation project consists primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded at each of the respective locations. The government of the Czech Republic has agreed to indemnify the Company and the respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Based upon the information available, total future remediation costs to the Company are not expected to be material.
The Company’s design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island is located on property that has localized soil contamination. In connection with the purchase of the facility, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and covenant not to sue with the State of Rhode Island. This agreement requires that remedial actions be undertaken and a quarterly groundwater monitoring program be initiated by the former owners of the property. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
As a result of the acquisition of AMIS, the Company is a “primary responsible party” to an environmental remediation and cleanup at AMIS’s former corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California. Costs incurred by AMIS have included implementation of the clean-up plan, operations and maintenance of remediation systems, and other project management costs. However, AMIS’s former parent company, a subsidiary of Nippon Mining, contractually agreed to indemnify AMIS and the Company for any obligations relating to environmental remediation and cleanup at this location. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
The Company’s former manufacturing location in Aizu, Japan is located on property where soil and ground water contamination have been detected. The Company believes that the contamination originally occurred during a time when the facility was operated by a prior owner. The Company has worked with local authorities to implement a remediation plan and expects remaining remediation costs to be covered by insurance. Based on information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
As a result of the acquisition of Truesense, the Company, by operation of law, became a party to an Agreement With Covenant Not to Sue entered into among the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYDEC”) and several companies with respect to pre-existing contamination within the business park property where Truesense is located. This agreement provides that the NYDEC would not sue or take any other action against these companies or their affiliates, subsidiaries, related entities, officers and directors, for any pre-existing environmental liabilities which occurred prior to the effective date of the agreement. Also in connection with the acquisition of Truesense, the Company has indemnification protection from Eastman Kodak Company (“Kodak”) under the 2011 asset purchase agreement between Kodak and Truesense. In that agreement, Kodak agreed to indemnify Truesense, its successors and assigns, with respect to any environmental liabilities existing prior to the closing of the Truesense/Kodak transaction. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
The Company was notified by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) in the Chemetco Superfund matter. Chemetco is a defunct reclamation services supplier who operated in Illinois at what is now a Superfund site. The Company used Chemetco for reclamation services. The EPA is pursuing Chemetco customers for contribution to the site cleanup activities. The Company has joined a PRP group which is cooperating with the EPA in the evaluation and funding of the cleanup. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.

Financing Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company provides standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties initiated by either the Company or its subsidiaries, as required for transactions such as, but not limited to, purchase commitments, agreements to mitigate collection risk, leases, utilities or customs guarantees. The Company’s senior revolving credit facility includes $40.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. A $0.2 million letter of credit was outstanding under the senior revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2014. The Company also had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit outside of its senior revolving credit facility totaling $6.3 million as of December 31, 2014.
As part of obtaining financing in the normal course of business, the Company issued guarantees related to certain of its capital lease obligations, equipment financing, lines of credit and real estate mortgages, which totaled approximately $113.3 million as of December 31, 2014. The Company is also a guarantor of SCI LLC’s non-collateralized loan with SMBC, which had a balance of $235.9 million as of December 31, 2014. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” for further information with respect to the Company’s loan with SMBC.
Based on historical experience and information currently available, the Company believes that in the foreseeable future it will not be required to make payments under the standby letters of credit or guarantee arrangements.
Indemnification Contingencies
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require it to indemnify the other party against losses due to IP infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, the Company’s negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.
The Company faces risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that its products fail to perform as expected or such failure of its products results, or is alleged to result, in economic damage, bodily injury, or property damage. In addition, if any of the Company’s designed products are alleged to be defective, the Company may be required to participate in their recall. Depending on the significance of any particular customer and other relevant factors, the Company may agree to provide more favorable rights to such customer for valid defective product claims.
The Company and its subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
While the Company’s future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not believe that any amounts that it may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Legal Matters
The Company is currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
On August 22, 2014, Collabo Innovations, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company and three of its subsidiaries, all of which were acquired in the acquisition of Aptina. The complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,166,405, 7,696,543, 5,976,907, 7,135,725 and 7,023,034 (the “Collabo Patents”) and seeks unspecified damages for past infringement. The Collabo Patents relate to CMOS image sensor products. Collabo served the complaint on December 18, 2014. The Company disputes the claims and will defend the litigation vigorously. Based on the limited information currently available, the Company is not able to estimate what the possible loss or range of loss might be, if any. The Company will pursue its rights under the Aptina acquisition agreements to indemnification for losses that may arise out of or result from this matter.
Intellectual Property Matters
We face risk to exposure from claims of infringement of the IP rights of others. In the ordinary course of business, we receive letters asserting that our products or components breach another party’s rights, including the Collabo Patents above. These threats may seek that we make royalty payments, that we stop use of such rights, or other remedies.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, one of the the Company’s previously non-marketable equity securities became marketable due to a change in circumstances that provided it with a readily determinable fair value. The related investment, as accounted for under the cost method, had previously experienced an other-than-temporary impairment and had a zero carrying value. As of December 31, 2014, the related investment was classified as available-for-sale, measured at Level 1, with a fair value equal to its carrying value of approximately $4.1 million. The related unrealized gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 16: “Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for additional information.
The Company’s total short-term investments balance was $6.1 million as of December 31, 2014. There were $4.1 million unrealized gains on related to these short-term investments as of December 31, 2014.

Cost Method Investments
Investments in equity securities that do not qualify for fair value accounting are accounted for under the cost method. Accordingly, the Company accounts for investments in companies that it does not control under the cost method, as applicable. If a decline in the fair value of a cost method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and the fair value becomes the new cost basis of the investment. The Company evaluates all of its cost method investments for impairment; however, it is not required to determine the fair value of its investment unless impairment indicators are present.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s cost method investments had a carrying value of approximately $12.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
Fair Values Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
Our non-financial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition and are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The Company uses unobservable inputs to the valuation methodologies that were significant to the fair value measurements, and the valuations require management’s judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices. We determine the fair value of our held and used assets, goodwill and intangible assets using an income, cost or market approach as determined reasonable. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for a discussion of certain asset impairments.
The following table shows the fair value of certain of the Company’s non-financial assets included in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 that were remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (in millions):

The Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million along with an intangible asset impairment charge of $0.9 million and other long-lived assets impairment charges of $4.7 million relating to one of its reporting units during the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangibles Assets” for additional information.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the long-lived assets of the System Solutions Group due to the continued declines in revenue and operating performance. The Company revised its long-term projections related to its System Solutions Group, including material additional cost reduction efforts and a lower revenue base than previously assumed. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $126.0 million which was comprised of a $94.4 million charge to reduce the carrying value of the associated fixed assets and a $31.6 million charge to reduce the carrying value of the associated intangible assets to their respective fair values. Additionally, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $14.1 million relating to one of its reporting units during the year ended December 31, 2012. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangibles Assets” for additional information.
Note 14: Financial Instruments
Foreign Currencies
As a multinational business, the Company’s transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies. When appropriate, the Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on its results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s policy prohibits trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.
The Company primarily hedges existing assets and liabilities associated with transactions currently on its balance sheet, which are undesignated hedges for accounting purposes.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts with net notional amounts of $145.7 million and $101.7 million, respectively. Such contracts were obtained through financial institutions and were scheduled to mature within one to three months from the time of purchase. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to increased risks from foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should offset losses and gains on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions to which they are related. The following schedule shows the Company’s net foreign exchange positions in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to its foreign exchange contracts fail to perform their obligations. As of December 31, 2014, the counterparties to the Company’s foreign exchange contracts are held at financial institutions which the Company believes to be highly rated and no credit-related losses are anticipated. Amounts receivable or payable under the contracts are included in other current assets or

accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions totaled a $3.1 million loss, a $5.5 million gain and a $2.1 million gain, respectively, and is included in other income and expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company is exposed to global market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company addresses these risks through controlled management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from transactions in foreign currencies will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The Company enters into forward contracts that are designated as foreign-currency cash flow hedges of selected forecasted payments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. All the contracts mature within 12 months and upon maturity, the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified into earnings. The Company documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions.
All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value and classified based on the instrument’s maturity date. The total notional amount of outstanding derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2014 was approximately $79.0 million, which is primarily comprised of cash flow hedges for Malaysian Ringgit/U.S. Dollar and Philippine Peso/U.S. Dollar currency pairs.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a loss of $1.7 million associated with cash flow hedges recognized as a component of cost of revenues. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a $3.5 million liability balance for contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments which were classified as other liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had a $1.8 million liability balance for contracts designated as cash flow hedges.
Other
At December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding commodity derivatives, currency swaps or options relating to either its debt instruments or investments. The Company does not hedge the value of its equity investments in its subsidiaries or affiliated companies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued
A valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets, with the exception of deferred tax assets at certain foreign subsidiaries, as management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s deferred tax assets do not include $174.4 million of excess tax deductions from employee stock option exercises that are part of net operating loss carryforwards, which, if realized, will be accounted for as an addition to equity. The Company uses the with or without method when determining when excess tax benefits have been realized.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) were $1,070.6 million, $997.4 million, and $1,121.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s federal, state, and foreign NOLs were $1,101.1 million, $989.7 million, and $1,718.9 million, respectively. If not utilized, these NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2015 through 2033. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, the utilization of NOLs and other tax attributes may be subject to substantial limitations if certain ownership changes occur during a three-year testing period (as defined by the Internal Revenue Code). During 2006, such an ownership change occurred, limiting the use of federal NOLs to approximately $93.1 million per year. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had federal, state, and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $177.8 million, which expire in varying amounts beginning in 2015.
This income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted of the reversal of $23.3 million of our previously established valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of a net deferred tax liability recorded as part of the Truesense acquisition and the reversal of $4.6 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions that were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during the year ended December 31, 2014. This is partially offset by $19.8 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations, $4.6 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions, and $3.3 million of deferred federal income taxes associated with tax deductible goodwill.
The 2013 provision of $16.4 million included $22.2 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of the Company’s foreign operations and $0.9 million of interest on existing reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions and $2.7 million of deferred federal income taxes associated with tax deductible goodwill. This is partially offset by the reversal of $6.0 million of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries and the reversal of $3.4 million for reserves and interest for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during 2013.
The 2012 provision of $16.0 million included $21.7 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of the Company’s foreign operations and $0.9 million of interest on existing reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions. This is partially offset by $7.8 million of additional tax benefit recorded and the reversal of $1.4 million for reserves and interest for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdiction which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during 2012.
Income taxes have not been provided on approximately $1,784.1 million of the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries over which the Company has sufficient influence to control the distribution at December 31, 2014. The Company has determined that substantially all such earnings have been reinvested indefinitely. These earnings could become subject to either or both federal income tax and foreign withholding tax if they are remitted as dividends, if foreign earnings are loaned to any of our domestic companies, or if the Company sells its investment in certain subsidiaries. The Company estimates that repatriation of these foreign earnings would generate additional taxes of approximately $178.7 million after net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.
The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. These liabilities involve considerable judgment and estimation and are continuously monitored by management based on the best information available, including changes in tax regulations, the outcome of relevant court cases, and other information. The Company is currently under examination by various taxing authorities. Although the outcome of any tax audit is uncertain, the Company believes that it has adequately provided in its consolidated financial statements for any additional taxes that the Company may be required to pay as a result of such examinations. If the payment ultimately proves not to be necessary, the reversal of these tax liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period the Company determines such liabilities are no longer necessary. However, if an ultimate tax assessment exceeds the Company’s estimate of tax liabilities, additional tax expense will be recorded. The impact of such adjustments could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations in future periods.
The activity for unrecognized gross tax benefits for 2014, 2013, and 2012 (in millions) is as follows:

Included in the December 31, 2014 balance of $31.2 million is $13.4 million related to unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. Of the total $31.2 million balance of unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2014, $1.8 million is related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could significantly change during the 12 months following December 31, 2014, as a result of expiring statutes of limitations.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. The Company recognized approximately $0.5 million of expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014, and recognized approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million of expenses during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company had approximately $3.2 million, $3.6 million, and $3.0 million of accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

Note 18: Segment Information
As of December 31, 2014, the Company was organized into four operating segments, consisting of the Application Products Group, Standard Products Group, System Solutions Group and Image Sensor Group. The Company’s Image Sensor Group was established during the third quarter of 2014, and includes the Company’s

recent image sensor business acquisition of Aptina along with the Company’s pre-existing image sensor business units (including Truesense) which were previously reported as part of the Application Products Group. See Note 4: “Acquisitions” for additional information with respect to the Company’s recent acquisitions. Previously reported information has been recast to reflect the current reportable segments.
Each of the Company’s major product lines has been examined and each product line has been assigned to a reportable segment, as illustrated in the table below, based on the Company’s operating strategy. Because many products are sold into different end-markets, the total revenue reported for a segment is not indicative of actual sales in the end-market associated with that segment, but rather is the sum of the revenue from the product lines assigned to that segment. These segments represent the Company’s view of the business and as such are used to evaluate progress of major initiatives and allocation of resources.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance-based on segment revenues and gross profit.
The Company’s wafer manufacturing facilities fabricate ICs for all business units, as necessary, and their operating costs are reflected in the segments’ cost of revenues on the basis of product costs. Because operating segments are generally defined by the products they design and sell, they do not make sales to each other. The Company does not discretely allocate assets to its operating segments, nor does management evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.
In addition to the operating and reporting segments mentioned above, the Company also operates global operations, sales and marketing, information systems, finance and administration groups that are led by vice presidents who report to the Chief Executive Officer. A portion of the expenses of these groups are allocated to the segments based on specific and general criteria and are included in the segment results reported below. The Company does not allocate income taxes or interest expense to its operating segments as the operating segments are principally evaluated on gross profit. Additionally, restructuring, asset impairments and other, net and certain other manufacturing and operating expenses, which include corporate research and development costs, unallocated inventory reserves and miscellaneous nonrecurring expenses, are not allocated to any segment.
Revenues and gross profit for the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are as follows (in millions):

The Company operates in various geographic locations. Sales to unaffiliated customers have little correlation with the location of manufacturers. It is, therefore, not meaningful to present operating profit by geographical location.
