GENEVA, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/—STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM)
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) reported financial results for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 27, 2003.
Third Quarter 2003 Financial Results
Net revenues for the third quarter were $1,803.9 million, a 6.0% sequential increase over second quarter 2003 revenues of $1,702.2 million and 9.6% above the $1,645.2 million of last year’s third quarter. Revenues from differentiated products were $1,237.8 million, accounting for 68.6% of net revenues for the period. Analog ICs (including mixed signal ICs) represented 47.7% of 2003 third quarter net revenues.
Gross profit was $632.5 million, a 4.1% sequential increase from the prior quarter’s $607.3 million and 3.8% above the $609.1 million reported for the 2002 third quarter. Gross margin was 35.1%, compared to the 35.7% of the 2003 second quarter and 37.0% in the comparable year-ago period.
Pasquale Pistorio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased that third quarter net revenues were above the high end of our guidance, driven by double-digit sequential increases in Digital Consumer applications and Flash Memory products. Gross margin, at 35.1%, was in line with our expectations of ‘approximately 35%,’ reflecting the difficult pricing environment and the lower utilization rate which characterized the first half of the third quarter. Increased orders for shipment in the fourth quarter kept inventory levels constant with those of the prior quarter, while inventory turns increased as anticipated.”
In the 2003 third quarter, research and development expenses increased modestly to $302.8 million from the $297.9 million of the second quarter of 2003, but declined as a percentage of revenues to 16.8% from 17.5% in the 2003 second quarter. In the 2002 third quarter, R&D expenses were $258.0 million and represented 15.7% of net revenues.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $191.7 million for the 2003 third quarter, virtually flat with the $191.2 million of the prior quarter, declining to 10.6% of net revenues from 11.2% in the 2003 second quarter. In the similar period last year, SG&A expenses were $162.7 million, or 9.9% of net revenues.
In the third quarter, the Company incurred a pre-tax charge of $192.9 million ($129.5 million after-tax) related to its previously announced restructuring plan. Approximately 78% of this amount represented non-cash impairment charges primarily associated with 6” wafer production in certain of ST’s fabs in France, Italy, and the U.S.
Impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs resulted in an operating loss of $64.3 million for the third quarter. Before impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, the Company posted third quarter operating income of $128.6 million. In the prior and year-ago quarters, operating income equaled $121.5 million and $184.8 million, respectively.
The Company’s net loss for the third quarter was $49.1 million, or a $0.06 loss per diluted share. Before impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, and a non-operating pre-tax charge of $21.6 million related to Bond repurchases, third quarter net income was $101.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $79.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the prior quarter (or $85.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, excluding non-operating charges related to Bond repurchases). In last year’s third quarter, net income was $131.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.
Commenting on third quarter performance, Mr. Pistorio noted, “While pricing pressure continued in the quarter, ST experienced solid sequential growth in Differentiated products, with Digital Consumer, Telecom, Computer Peripherals, and Industrial market segments all showing gains over the prior quarter. Revenues from Wireless, primarily comprised of Differentiated and Memory products, were approximately $430 million for the quarter. On the cost side, R&D and SG&A in the aggregate represented 27.4% of net revenues in the third quarter, compared to 28.7% in the prior quarter. Interest expense, net declined $4.7 million on a sequential basis, primarily as a consequence of our Bond repurchases.”

Balance Sheet Highlights
At September 27, 2003, ST had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $2.73 billion and total debt of $3.14 billion. Shareholders’ equity was $7.46 billion. The net debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 0.05.
Net cash from operating activities in the third quarter was $365.9 million and reached $1,141.9 million for the first nine months of 2003. Capital expenditures were $261.2 million in the 2003 third quarter, compared to $298.1 million in the second quarter of 2003, and $298.5 million in the year-ago third quarter. For the first nine months of 2003, capital expenditures totaled $815.0 million.
Free cash flow was $100.4 million for the 2003 third quarter, and, for the first nine months, free cash flow, before acquisitions of $135.0 million, was $289.8 million.
Mr. Pistorio said, “In the third quarter, ST took advantage of favorable market conditions to reduce interest expense and extend the maturity of certain long-term debt. The Company raised gross proceeds of $1.4 billion through a Zero Coupon Convertible Bond Offering due 2013, with a negative yield of 0.5%. A large portion of the proceeds was used to repurchase additional existing Convertible Bonds due 2010 and yielding 3.75%. As a result of these transactions, we expect to benefit from interest expense savings of $15 million for full year 2003 and approximately $34 million in 2004.
“Maintaining liquidity remains a priority,” Mr. Pistorio continued, “and we believe our strong cash position and low debt-to-equity ratio provide us with important financial flexibility.”
Restructuring Plan
Developed to safeguard and increase cost competitiveness and enhance capacity, ST’s restructuring plan, which is implemented pursuant to local and regional initiatives, calls for the migration of approximately 60% of the Company’s European and U.S. 6” wafer production either to finer geometry 8” wafer fabs or to ST’s 6” wafer fab in Singapore. To effect this restructuring, the Company has announced plans to discontinue production at its 6” wafer fab in Rennes, France, in March 2004, to close as soon as operationally feasible its 6” wafer pilot line in Castelletto, Italy, and to downsize by approximately one-half its 6” wafer fab in Carrollton, Texas. Furthermore, ST’s 6” wafer fab production in Agrate, Italy and Rousset, France will be gradually phased out, in favor of 8” wafer ramp-ups at existing facilities in these locations, which will be expanded or upgraded to accommodate additional finer geometry wafer capacity.
The restructuring plan and related manufacturing initiatives are expected to be substantially completed over the next 18 months and result in a total pre-tax charge of approximately $350 million ($240 million after-tax), of which an estimated 50% will represent non-cash items. Of the total charge, $193 million ($130 million after-tax) was incurred in the 2003 third quarter. The approximately $157 million in pre-tax charges ($110 million after-tax) that were not incurred in the 2003 third quarter will be taken, as incurred, in conjunction with the plan’s evolution.
ST estimates that annualized after-tax cost savings at the completion of the plan will be approximately $120 million.

Nine Month 2003 Results
Net revenues for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 were $5,124.5 million, up 13.1% from the $4,531.5 million reported in the 2002 nine-month period. Gross profit was $1,806.1 million, or 35.2% of net revenues. Operating income was $180.8 million. Excluding impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, operating income was $373.7 million.
Net income was $109.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Before impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, and a non-operating pre-tax charge of $36.4 million related to Bond repurchases, net income was $274.2, or $0.29 per diluted share.
Research and development expenses were $883.6 million, or 17.2% of net revenues compared to $739.9 million in the 2002 nine-months, or 16.3% of net revenues. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $557.1 million, or 10.9% of net revenues compared to $464.1 million, or 10.2% of net revenues in the 2002 period.
Outlook
Looking ahead, Mr. Pistorio commented, “Currently available industry data indicates that ST’s year-over-year growth rate of 13.1% for the first nine months of 2003 was in-line with, or slightly above, that of the markets we serve, showing that we are maintaining our leadership position in key targeted applications. Year-to-date industry growth, however, has been primarily driven by unit demand, rather than the pricing leverage needed to raise profitability levels.”
“ST’s backlog and order rates for the 2003 fourth quarter show solid sequential growth in end market demand,” Mr. Pistorio said. “Thus, we currently expect ST’s fourth quarter revenues to increase by 6% to 12% on a sequential basis, representing a 7% to 13% improvement over last year’s fourth quarter. On a constant currency basis, gross margin should be within the previously-announced 36% to 37% range, after the effect of the recent black-out in Italy, which penalizes our fourth quarter gross margin by about 50 basis points.”
“On a longer term basis,” Mr. Pistorio noted, “we believe that ST is very well positioned to benefit from the industry’s projected growth rate for 2004 which is expected to approximate 18%, and to be driven by further increases in silicon pervasion, higher levels of corporate spending worldwide and an improved balance in the industry between capacity and demand. Building upon the Company’s full year 2003 capital expenditures of approximately $1.2 billion, ST’s 2004 capex will increase by about 33% to an estimated $1.6 billion, of which over 50% will be allocated to strategic R&D programs and leading-edge technologies.”
