ON Semiconductor Reports Fourth Quarter and 2016 Annual Results


ON Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq:ON), today announced that total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $1,261.0 million, up approximately 33 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016. Fourth quarter revenue includes contribution of approximately $358 million from our acquisition of Fairchild, which closed on Sept. 19, 2016.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the company reported GAAP net income of $110.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. Fourth quarter GAAP income before income taxes was $18.2 million as compared to $87.3 million in the third quarter. The fourth quarter 2016 GAAP income before income taxes was negatively impacted by approximately $113.8 million of special items, the majority of which were related to Fairchild. Fourth quarter 2016 non-GAAP income before income taxes was $132.0 million, compared to $107.3 million for the third quarter of 2016. Cash paid for taxes for the fourth quarter was approximately $8.2 million, as compared to $6.5 million in the third quarter.

Fourth quarter GAAP gross margin was 30.5 percent, and non-GAAP gross margin in the fourth quarter was 35.2 percent. For the fourth quarter of 2016, GAAP operating margin was 4.4 percent, and non-GAAP operating margin was 12.9 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $252.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2016 was $180.2 million.

Total revenues for 2016 were $3,906.9 million, an increase of approximately 12 percent from $3,495.8 million in 2015. Total revenue for 2016 included a contribution of approximately $411 million from Fairchild. During 2016, the company reported GAAP net income of $182.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. The 2016 GAAP income before income taxes included charges of $231.5 million from special items, including $104.8 million of amortization of acquisition related intangible assets. The remaining charges and special items detail can be found in the attached schedules. During 2015, the company reported GAAP net income of $206.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. The 2015 GAAP income before income taxes included net charges of $159.8 million from special items.

The company's GAAP gross margin in 2016 was 33.2 percent. GAAP gross margin in 2016 included a net charge of approximately $70.7 million from special items. Non-GAAP gross margin in 2016 was 35.0 percent. The company's GAAP gross margin in 2015 was 34.1 percent. GAAP gross margin in 2015 included a net benefit of approximately $(0.8) million from special items. Non-GAAP gross margin in 2015 was 34.1 percent.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the company's most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are set forth in the attached schedules and on our website at http://www.onsemi.com. Additional information on revenue by end market, region, distribution channel, business units and share count can be found on the "Investor Relations" section of our website.

"Our results in the fourth quarter provide clear evidence of our strong execution on the integration of Fairchild, and the results also validate our strategic and financial rationale for the acquisition," said Keith Jackson, president and CEO of ON Semiconductor. "We continue to make rapid progress in the integration, and we are currently tracking significantly ahead of schedule in realizing synergies from the combination of Fairchild and ON Semiconductor."

"I am very optimistic about our prospects in 2017 as our momentum in our strategic markets, which include automotive, industrial and communications, continues to grow and our design win pipeline continues to expand driven by our innovative products. With synergies from Fairchild and strong execution and cost control, we are well positioned to drive meaningful growth in our free cash flow in the current year and in following years."

FIRST QUARTER 2017 OUTLOOK

"Based upon product booking trends, backlog levels, and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total ON Semiconductor revenue will be approximately $1,215 million to $1,265 million in the first quarter of 2017," Jackson said. "Backlog levels for the first quarter of 2017 represent approximately 80 to 85 percent of our anticipated first quarter 2017 revenue. The outlook for the first quarter of 2017 includes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $15 million to $17 million. Net cash paid for income taxes is expected to be $16 million to $20 million."

The following table outlines ON Semiconductor's projected first quarter of 2017 GAAP and non-GAAP outlook.

Diluted Share Count ** 424 million 424 million
 
*     Convertible Notes, Non-cash Interest Expense is calculated pursuant to FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 470: Debt.
** Diluted share count can vary for, among other things, the actual exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock units, the incremental dilutive shares from the company's convertible senior subordinated notes, and the repurchase or the issuance of stock or convertible notes or the sale of treasury shares. In periods when the quarterly average stock price per share exceeds $18.50, the non-GAAP diluted share count and non-GAAP net income per share includes the anti-dilutive impact of the company's hedge transactions, issued concurrently with the 1.00% Notes. At an average stock price per share between $18.50 and $25.96, the hedging activity offsets the potentially dilutive effect of the 1.00% Notes and warrants.
*** Special items may include: amortization of acquisition-related intangibles; expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up; purchased in-process research and development expenses; restructuring, asset impairments and other, net; goodwill impairment charges; gains and losses on debt prepayment; non-cash interest expense; actuarial (gains) losses on pension plans and other pension benefits; and certain other special items, as necessary. These special items could change significantly and are subject to swings from period to period. As a result, we are not able to reasonably estimate and separately present the individual impact of these special items. For this reason, we use a projected range of the aggregate amount of special items in order to calculate our projected non-GAAP operating expense outlook.
**** Regulation G and other provisions of the securities laws regulate the use of financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to investors. We use these measures, together with GAAP measures, for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that - when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our releases - provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names.

The company has provided the following forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures: Operating Expenses and Other Income and Expense (including interest expense), net. The company does not provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including the special items detailed above, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible, not all of the information necessary for quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are available to the company without unreasonable efforts. Consequently, any attempt to disclose such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. It is probable that the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

* Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and special items. We use the adjusted EBITDA measure for internal managerial evaluation purposes, as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons and as a performance metric for the vesting/releasing of certain of our performance-based equity awards. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Regulation G and other provisions of the securities laws regulate the use of financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe this measure provides important supplemental information to investors. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance.

We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that - when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our press releases - provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with non-GAAP financial measures used by our company or other companies, even if they have similar names.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared under GAAP, ON Semiconductor uses non-GAAP measures which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP results to exclude items related to the amortization of intangible assets, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up, inventory valuation adjustments, purchased in-process research and development expenses, restructuring, asset impairments and other, net, goodwill impairment charges, gains and losses on debt prepayment, non-cash interest expense, actuarial (gains) losses on pension plans and other pension benefits, third party acquisition related costs, and certain other special items, as necessary. Management does not consider these charges in evaluating the core operational activities of ON Semiconductor. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate ON Semiconductor's current performance. In addition, we believe that most analysts covering ON Semiconductor use the non-GAAP measures as well. Given management's and other relevant use of these non-GAAP measures, ON Semiconductor believes these measures are important to investors in understanding ON Semiconductor's current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in ON Semiconductor's core business across different time periods. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Gross Margin

The use of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin allows management to evaluate, among other things, the gross margin and gross profit of the company's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including, generally speaking, expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up and amortization of intangible assets. In addition, it is an important component of management's internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets, obtaining targets, and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of ON Semiconductor's core businesses.

Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Operating Margin

The use of non-GAAP operating profit and operating margin allows management to evaluate, among other things, the operating margin and operating profit of the company's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including, generally speaking, expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up, amortization of intangible assets, third party acquisition related costs, and restructuring charges. In addition, it is an important component of management's internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets, obtaining targets, and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of operations of ON Semiconductor's core businesses.

Non-GAAP Income Before Income Taxes

The use of non-GAAP income before income taxes allows management to evaluate the operating results of ON Semiconductor's core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including, generally, the amortization of intangible assets, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up, purchased in-process research and development expenses, restructuring, asset impairments and other, net, goodwill impairment charges, gains and losses on debt prepayment, non-cash interest expense, actuarial (gains) losses on pension plans and other pension benefits, third party acquisition related costs, and certain other special items, as necessary. In addition, these items are important components of management's internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process, as they are used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business, for strategic decision making, preparing budgets, setting targets, and forecasting future results. Management presents these non-GAAP financial measures to enable investors and analysts to understand the results of operations of ON Semiconductor's core businesses and, to the extent comparable, to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies in our industry.

Diluted Share Count

In periods when the quarterly average stock price per share exceeds $18.50, the Non-GAAP diluted share count includes the anti-dilutive impact of the company's hedge transactions, issued concurrently with the 1.00% Notes. At an average stock price per share between $18.50 and $25.96, the hedging activity offsets the potentially dilutive effect of the 1.00% Notes and warrants.
