Item 12. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On April 28, 2004, the Company issued a news release announcing its results for the quarter ended April 2, 2004. The news release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99. The information in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section. The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures as additional information relating to its future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. While EBITDA is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors to assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measured used by other companies. The table above sets forth our EBITDA with a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures within the attached Exhibit 99.


SIGNATURES

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

ON Semiconductor Reports First Quarter Results

 

Company Grows Revenues by 11 Percent and

 

Increases Gross Margin by 300 Basis Points from Prior Quarter

 

PHOENIX, Ariz. – April 28, 2004 – ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: ONNN) today announced that total revenues in the first quarter of 2004 were $308.2 million, an increase of 11 percent from the fourth quarter of 2003. During the first quarter of 2004, the company reported a net loss of $47.6 million, or $0.23 per share, that included restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $13.1 million, or $0.06 per share, and a loss on debt prepayment of $33.0 million, or $0.14 per share. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the company reported a net loss of $42.4 million, or $0.21 per share, that included restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $29.9 million, or $0.14 per share and a loss on debt prepayment of $1.3 million, or $0.01 per share.

 

On a mix-adjusted basis, average selling prices in the first quarter of 2004 were up approximately 1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2003. The company’s gross margin in the first quarter was 31.1 percent, an increase of approximately 300 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2003 due to a combination of increased average selling prices, improved product mix, increased unit volumes and cost reductions.

 

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2004 was $14.2 million and included restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $13.1 million and the $33.0 million loss on debt prepayment. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $20.6 million and included restructuring, asset impairments and other charges of $29.9 million and the $1.3 million loss on debt prepayment. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the company’s net loss and net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP is set out in the attached schedule.

ON Semiconductor Reports First Quarter Results

2 – 2 – 2 – 2

 

The $13.1 million in restructuring, asset impairments and other charges for the first quarter of 2004 included approximately $12.0 million of non-cash charges for a loss on sale of fixed assets and approximately $1.1 million of cash charges, primarily for severance.

 

The $29.9 million in restructuring, asset impairments and other charges for the fourth quarter of 2003 included approximately $24.5 million of non-cash charges for asset impairments and approximately $5.4 million of cash charges, primarily for severance.

 

“Our revenue and gross margin exceeded our expectations,” said Keith Jackson ON Semiconductor president and CEO. “Revenue is the highest it has been since the second quarter of 2001 and gross margin is the highest since the fourth quarter of 2000, both clear indicators of the improving business environment for the company. In addition, we made significant strides during and subsequent to the end of the first quarter to improve our capital structure. While the effects of our actions had only a minimal impact on interest expense in the first quarter, on a projected annual basis, the interest expense savings from the repurchase of our Senior Secured Notes due in 2008 and 2010, the repurchase of our Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2009 and the refinancing of our credit facilities is approximately $53 million, which represents a 40% reduction as compared to our projected annual interest expense at the beginning of 2004.”

 

SECOND QUARTER 2004 OUTLOOK

 

“Based upon booking trends, backlog levels and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total revenues will be up by 6 to 7 percent sequentially in the second quarter,” Jackson said. “Backlog levels at the beginning of the second quarter of 2004 were up significantly from backlog levels at the beginning of the first quarter of 2004 and represented greater than 90 percent of our anticipated second quarter revenues. We expect that average selling prices will be up for the second quarter of 2004 and that gross margins will increase by 150 to 200 basis points.”

 

TELECONFERENCE

 

ON Semiconductor will hold a conference call for the financial community at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time (EST) today to discuss the first quarter results. The company will provide a real-time audio broadcast of the teleconference on the Investor Relations page of its website at http://www.onsemi.com. The webcast will be available for 30 days following the conference call.

* EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. While EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors to assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The table above sets forth our EBITDA with a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles.
