STMicroelectronics Reports 2020 Third Quarter Financial Results

• Q3 net revenues $2.67 billion; gross margin 36.0%; operating margin 12.3%; net income $242 million

• YTD net revenues $6.98 billion; gross margin 36.3%; operating margin 9.5%; net income $525 million

Geneva, October 22, 2020 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, reported U.S. GAAP financial results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2020. This press release also contains non-U.S. GAAP measures (see Appendix for additional information).

ST reported third quarter net revenues of $2.67 billion, gross margin of 36.0%, operating margin of 12.3%, and net income of $242 million or $0.26 diluted earnings per share.

Jean-Marc Chery, STMicroelectronics President & CEO, commented:

• “As we announced on October 1, 2020, our Q320 net revenues increased 27.8% sequentially, coming in 690 basis points above the high end of our outlook range. This revenue performance was due to significantly better than expected market conditions throughout the quarter. Demand for Automotive products, our engaged customer programs in Personal Electronics, as well as Microcontrollers, were the main factors that contributed to this result. Third quarter gross margin came in at the mid-point of our range, and includes about 140 basis points of unsaturation charges.

• “Looking at the fourth quarter, we expect sequential revenue growth of about 12.0% at the mid-point. All product groups are expected to grow, except the RF Communications sub-group. Our gross margin is expected to be about 38.5%, including about 70 basis points of unsaturation charges.

• “For the full year 2020, we now expect net revenues at the mid-point to be about $9.97 billion, translating into 4.3% year-over-year growth, with a double-digit operating margin performance.”

Total Net Revenues	2,666	2,087	2,553	27.8%	4.4%

Net revenues totaled $2.67 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 4.4%. On a year-over-year basis, the Company recorded higher sales in Microcontrollers, RF Communications, MEMS and Analog, partially offset by lower sales in Automotive, Imaging and Power Discrete. Year-over-year sales to OEMs increased 7.5%, offset in part by a decrease of 3.4% to Distribution. On a sequential basis, net revenues increased 27.8%, 690 basis points above the high-end of the Company’s guidance. All product groups reported double-digit increases in revenues on a sequential basis.

Gross profit totaled $959 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 0.8%. Gross margin of 36.0% decreased 190 basis points year-over-year, mainly due to price pressure and unsaturation charges. Third quarter gross margin was aligned with the mid-point of the Company’s guidance.

Operating income decreased 2.0% to $329 million, compared to $336 million in the year-ago quarter. The Company’s operating margin decreased 80 basis points on a year-over-year basis to 12.3% of net revenues, compared to 13.1% in the 2019 third quarter.

By product group, compared with the year-ago quarter:

Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG):

• Revenue decreased in both Automotive and in Power Discrete.

• Operating profit decreased by 35.7% to $49 million. Operating margin was 5.8% compared to 8.5%.

Analog, MEMS and Sensors Group (AMS):

• Revenue increased in MEMS and Analog and decreased in Imaging.

• Operating profit decreased by 11.8% to $175 million. Operating margin was 17.5% compared to 20.5%.

Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group (MDG):

• Revenue increased in both Microcontrollers and in RF Communications (former “Digital” sub-group).

• Operating profit increased by 32.0% to $142 million. Operating margin was 17.4% compared to 15.7%.

Net income and diluted earnings per share decreased to $242 million and $0.26, respectively, compared to $302 million and $0.34, respectively, in the year-ago quarter.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

				Trailing 12 Months
(US$ m)	Q3 2020	Q2 2020	Q3 2019	Q3 2020	Q3 2019	TTM Change
Net cash from operating activities	385	387	429	1,946	1,749	11.3%
Free cash flow (non-U.S. GAAP)	(25)	28	170	577	399	44.6%

Capital expenditure payments, net of proceeds from sales, were $319 million in the third quarter and $897 million for the year-to-date period. In the year-ago quarter, capital expenditures, net, were $244 million.

Inventory at the end of the third quarter was $1.93 billion, up from $1.79 billion in the prior year quarter. Day sales of inventory at quarter-end was 103 days compared to 100 days in the prior year quarter.
After the cash outflow of $76 million for acquisitions to further strengthen the Company’s wireless connectivity capabilities, and $33 million of accreted interest paid to settle the 2022 Tranche A of the convertible bond issued in 2017, free cash flow (non-U.S. GAAP) was negative $25 million in the third quarter, compared to positive $170 million in the year-ago quarter.

In the third quarter, the Company paid cash dividends totaling $38 million.

ST’s net financial position (non-U.S. GAAP) was $662 million at September 26, 2020 compared to $570 million at June 27, 2020 and reflected total liquidity of $3.53 billion and total financial debt of $2.87 billion.

During the quarter, ST exercised the call option for the early redemption of its 2022 Tranche A of the convertible bond issued in 2017. As a consequence, bondholders exercised their conversion rights on the total of $750 million of the Tranche A bond. ST net settled the bond, mostly in the third quarter with the remaining small portion at the beginning of Q4, by delivering $750 million in cash and about 11 million shares from treasury shares. Simultaneously with the exercise of the call option, ST issued a new $1.5 billion dual-tranche senior unsecured convertible bond (Tranche A and Tranche B for $750 million each) due 2025 and 2027.

Business Outlook

The Company’s guidance, at the mid-point, for the 2020 fourth quarter is:

• Net revenues are expected to be $2.99 billion, an increase of 12.0% sequentially, plus or minus 350 basis points;

• Gross margin of about 38.5%, plus or minus 200 basis points;

• This outlook is based on an assumed effective currency exchange rate of approximately $1.15 = €1.00 for the 2020 fourth quarter and includes the impact of existing hedging contracts.

• The fourth quarter will close on December 31, 2020.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Forward-looking Information

Some of the statements contained in this release that are not historical facts are statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended) that are based on management’s current views and assumptions, and are conditioned upon and also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance, or events to differ materially from those anticipated by such statements, due to, among other factors:

• changes in global trade policies, including the adoption and expansion of tariffs and trade barriers, that could affect the macro-economic environment and adversely impact the demand for our products;

• uncertain macro-economic and industry trends, which may impact end-market demand for our products;

• customer demand that differs from projections;

• the Brexit vote and the impact of the withdrawal of the U.K. may adversely affect business activity, political stability and economic conditions in the U.K., the Eurozone, the EU and elsewhere. The U.K. withdrawal from the EU took place on January 31, 2020 and the UK majority government is expected to complete Brexit even if no formal withdrawal agreement is in place with the EU by the end of the transition period running until December 31, 2020. The specific terms of the U.K. withdrawal from the EU are still uncertain and while we do not have material operations in the U.K. and have not experienced any material impact from Brexit on our underlying business to date, we cannot predict its future implications;

• financial difficulties with any of our major distributors or significant curtailment of purchases by key customers;

• the loading, product mix, and manufacturing performance of our production facilities and/or our required volume to fulfill capacity reserved with suppliers or third party manufacturing providers;

• availability and costs of equipment, raw materials, utilities, third-party manufacturing services and technology, or other supplies required by our operations;

• theft, loss, or misuse of personal data about our employees, customers, or other third parties, and breaches of global and local privacy legislation, including the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”);

• the impact of intellectual property (“IP”) claims by our competitors or other third parties, and our ability to obtain required licenses on reasonable terms and conditions;

• changes in our overall tax position as a result of changes in tax rules, new or revised legislation, the outcome of tax audits or changes in international tax treaties which may impact our results of operations as well as our ability to accurately estimate tax credits, benefits, deductions and provisions and to realize deferred tax assets;

• variations in the foreign exchange markets and, more particularly, the U.S. dollar exchange rate as compared to the Euro and the other major currencies we use for our operations;

• the outcome of ongoing litigation as well as the impact of any new litigation to which we may become a defendant;

• product liability or warranty claims, claims based on epidemic or delivery failure, or other claims relating to our products, or recalls by our customers for products containing our parts;

• natural events such as severe weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions or other acts of nature, the effects of climate change, health risks and epidemics such as the COVID-19 in locations where we, our customers or our suppliers operate;

• industry changes resulting from vertical and horizontal consolidation among our suppliers, competitors, and customers; and

• the ability to successfully ramp up new programs that could be impacted by factors beyond our control, including the availability of critical third party components and performance of subcontractors in line with our expectations.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results and performance of our business to differ materially and adversely from the forward-looking statements. Certain forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “are expected to,” “should,” “would be,” “seeks” or “anticipates” or similar expressions or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

Some of these risk factors are set forth and are discussed in more detail in “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this release as anticipated, believed, or expected. We do not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update any industry information or forward-looking statements set forth in this release to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Supplemental Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information
U. S. GAAP – Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation

The supplemental non-U.S. GAAP information presented in this press release is unaudited and subject to inherent limitations. Such non-U.S. GAAP information is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measurements. Also, our supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-U.S. GAAP measures used by other companies. Further, specific limitations for individual non-U.S. GAAP measures, and the reasons for presenting non-U.S. GAAP financial information, are set forth in the paragraphs below. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information should not be read in isolation, but only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors and management because they offer, when read in conjunction with the Company’s U.S. GAAP financials, (i) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results, (ii) the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s business and perform related trend analysis, and (iii) to facilitate a comparison of the Company’s results of operations against investor and analyst financial models and valuations, which may exclude these items.

Net Financial Position (non-U.S. GAAP measure)

Net Financial Position, not a U.S. GAAP measure, represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total financial debt. Our total financial resources include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash and short-term deposits, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt, including bank overdrafts, and long-term debt, as represented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe our Net Financial Position provides useful information for investors and management because it gives evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash by measuring our capital resources based on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term deposits and marketable securities and the total level of our financial indebtedness. In addition, our definition of Net Financial Position may differ from definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measure)

Free Cash Flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus (ii) net cash used in investing activities, excluding payment for purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and net investment in short-term deposits, which are considered as temporary financial investments. The result of this definition is ultimately net cash from operating activities plus payment for purchase and proceeds from sale of tangible, intangible and financial assets, proceeds received in the sale of businesses and cash paid for business acquisitions.

We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing activities to sustain our operations. Free Cash Flow does not represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows generated by or used in financing activities.

Free Cash Flow reconciles with the total cash flow and the net cash increase (decrease) by including the payment for purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and net investment in short-term deposits, the net cash from (used in) financing activities and the effect of changes in exchange rates. In addition, our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.
