Geneva, January 28, 2021 -
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor
leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, reported U.S. GAAP financial results for the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2020. This press release also contains
non-U.S. GAAP measures (see Appendix for additional

ST reported fourth quarter net revenues of $3.24
billion, gross margin of 38.8%, operating margin of 20.3%, and net
income of $582 million or $0.63 diluted earnings per share.
Jean-Marc Chery, STMicroelectronics President
& CEO, commented:
- “As we announced on January 8, 2021, our Q420 net
revenues increased 21.3% sequentially, 580 basis points above the
high end of our outlook range. Our engaged customer programs in
Personal Electronics, as well as
continuous acceleration in demand, especially of Automotive
products and Microcontrollers, were the main factors that
contributed to this result.
Fourth quarter gross margin was 30 basis
points above the mid-point of our outlook range. On a sequential
basis, our operating margin was up 800 basis points to 20.3% and
free cash flow increased to $512 million.
- “Based upon a stronger than expected second half of
2020, full year revenues increased 6.9% to $10.22 billion, with an
operating margin of 12.9%.
- “ST’s first quarter outlook, at the mid-point, is for
net revenues of $2.93 billion, increasing year-over-year by 31.2%
and decreasing sequentially by 9.5%; gross margin is expected to be
about 38.5%.
- “For 2021, we plan to invest about
$1.8 billion to $2.0 billion in CAPEX to support the strong market
demand and our strategic initiatives.”

17.5% |
Net revenues totaled $3.24
billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 17.5%. On a
year-over-year basis, the Company recorded higher net sales in all
product groups except the RF Communications (former “Digital”)
sub-group. Year-over-year net sales to OEMs and Distribution
increased 19.8% and 11.4%, respectively. On a sequential basis, net
revenues increased 21.3%, 580 basis points above the high end of
the Company’s guidance. All product groups except the RF
Communications sub-group reported increases in net revenues on a
sequential basis.
Gross profit totaled $1.25
billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 16.0%.
Gross margin of 38.8% decreased 50 basis points
year-over-year, mainly due to usual price pressure and negative
currency effects, net of hedging, partially offset by improved mix
and lower unloading charges. Fourth quarter gross margin was 30
basis points above the mid-point of the Company’s guidance.
Operating income increased
42.7% to $657 million, compared to $460 million in the year-ago
quarter. The Company’s operating margin increased
360 basis points on a year-over-year basis to 20.3% of net
revenues, compared to 16.7% in the 2019 fourth quarter. Fourth
quarter other income and expenses, net, was $131 million compared
to $54 million to the year-ago quarter mainly due to a
non-recurrent favorable impact mainly associated with the Important
Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) R&D grants
catch-up.
By product group, compared with
the year-ago quarter:
Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG):
- Revenue increased in both Automotive and in Power
Discrete.
- Operating profit decreased by 16.4% to $94 million. Operating
margin was 9.9% compared to 12.2%.
Analog, MEMS and Sensors Group (AMS):
- Revenue increased in Imaging, Analog and MEMS.

Communications.
- Operating profit increased by 46.4% to $174 million. Operating
margin was 20.3% compared to 16.0%.
Unused capacity charges are included under the
group “Others”.
Net income and diluted
earnings per share increased to $582 million and $0.63,
respectively, compared to $392 million and $0.43, respectively, in
the year-ago quarter.

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 ability to design, manufacture and sell innovative products
in a rapidly changing technological environment;
- changes in economic, social, public health, labor, political,
or infrastructure conditions in the locations where we, our
customers, or our suppliers operate, including as a result of

unrest, labor actions, or terrorist activities;
- unanticipated events or circumstances, which may impact our
ability to execute our plans and/or meet the objectives of our
R&D and manufacturing programs, which benefit from public
funding;
- legal, political and economic uncertainty surrounding Brexit
may be a continued source of instability in international markets
and currency exchange rate volatility and may adversely affect
business activity, political stability and economic conditions 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

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;
- the duration and the severity of the global outbreak of
COVID-19 may continue to negatively impact the global economy in a
significant manner for an extended period of time, and also could
materially adversely affect our business and operating
results;
- 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,”

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial InformationU. 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, a non-U.S. GAAP measure,
represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total
financial debt. Our total liquidity includes cash and cash
equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash and short-term
deposits, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt 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. Our definition of Net Financial Position may differ
from definitions used by other companies and therefore
comparability may be limited.

bond issued in 2017 was reclassified to short-term debt in line
with contractual terms.(2) 2024 Tranche B of the convertible bond
issued in 2017 was reclassified to short-term debt in line with
contractual terms.(3) Long-term debt contains standard conditions
but does not impose minimum financial ratios. Also, committed
credit facilities for $1.2 billion equivalent, including a €500

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 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. Our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions
used by other companies.
