STMicroelectronics Reports 2005 Third Quarter and Nine Month Revenues and Earnings

Geneva, Switzerland (ots/PRNewswire)

- All figures in US Dollars $
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) reported financial results for the
third quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2005.
Revenues, Gross Profit, and Margin Review
Net revenues for the third quarter were $2,247 million, up 3.9%
sequentially from the $2,162 million reported in the prior quarter,
and 0.7% above the $2,231 million reported in last year's third
quarter. Sequential sales growth was primarily driven by wireless and
computer peripheral applications, both of which also experienced
strong double-digit, year-over-year sales growth.
Gross profit increased 7.3% to $766 million from $714 million in
the second quarter of 2005. Gross margin was 34.1% in the third
quarter compared to 33.0% in the prior quarter. Enhanced product mix
and manufacturing performance drove the improvements in gross profit
and gross margin, more than offsetting continuing price pressure,
especially in memory and standard products.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses in the third quarter were $401
million compared to $423 million in the prior quarter. Selling,
general, and administrative expenses were $248 million for the 2005
third quarter, down from $255 million in the prior quarter. Combined
SG&A and R&D expenses in the third quarter were 28.9% of net
revenues, improving from 31.4% in the second quarter. The decrease in
operating expenses was largely attributable to specific cost-control
actions coupled with seasonal factors.
Operating Income, Net Income, and Earnings per Share
For the 2005 third quarter, the Company reported operating income
of $102 million and net income of $89 million, or $0.10 per share. In
the prior quarter the Company reported operating income of $12
million and net income of $26 million, or $0.03 per share.
The Company posted $12 million of impairment, restructuring
charges, and other related closure costs during the 2005 third
quarter. In the prior quarter, restructuring related expenses were
$22 million.
In the third quarter, the effective average exchange rate for the
Company was approximately $1.30 to EUR1, similar to second quarter
levels.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
Net cash from operating activities in the third quarter was $475
million compared to $409 million in the prior quarter. Capital
expenditures were $284 million in the 2005 third quarter, compared to
$363 million in the prior quarter. Net operating cash flow* for the
third quarter increased to $173 million, compared to $23 million in
the second quarter.
At October 1, 2005, ST had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable
securities of $1.77 billion. Total debt was $1.84 billion; net
financial debt was reduced from $276 million at the end of the prior
quarter to $71 million at October l, 2005; shareholders' equity was
$8.4 billion.
(*) Net operating cash flow is defined as net cash from operating
activities ($475 million in the third quarter of 2005) minus net cash
used in investing activities ($302 million in the third quarter of
2005) excluding payments for purchase of and proceeds from the sale
of marketable securities ($0 in the third quarter of 2005).
President and CEO Remarks
Carlo Bozotti, President and Chief Executive Officer commented,
"ST's third quarter financial performance, which was well in line
with our outlook, showed sequential improvements in revenues, gross
margin, and earnings per share. Additionally, we were pleased by the
significant increase in net operating cash flow resulting from our
capital management.
The quarter was also a period of steady progress across all of our
key objectives:
  • ST had a good level of sequential sales growth in several key markets, led by wireless. The effort to expand the key customer base also continued to gain momentum. In addition, reflecting the importance of China and ST's leading presence there, we created a new regional organisation focused exclusively on this key market;
  • On the product front, we continue to gain traction in the acceptance of our new products. From wireless connectivity ASSP solutions to a new wave of high-definition digital consumer offerings, we are compiling important design wins which will help drive sales and margin improvement in 2006 and beyond;
  • Finally, our manufacturing cost-reduction initiatives are moving forward steadily and contributed to the improved results in the quarter.
In summary, we are on track with our roadmap to improve overall
corporate performance. Our efforts are starting to become visible
with improvements in most of our key metrics to date. Nonetheless,
there is more work to be done."

Outlook
Mr. Bozotti observed, "We believe that moderate industry growth
will continue into the final quarter of 2005 and through 2006. Within
these dynamics, we expect that ST will continue to make solid
progress in improving the performance of the Company thanks to our
ongoing marketing, R&D, and cost actions.
Accordingly, we expect that ST's sequential revenue growth in the
fourth quarter will be in the range between 3% and 9%. Gross margin
for the fourth quarter is expected to be about 36%, plus or minus one
percentage point."
This guidance is based on an effective currency exchange rate for
the Company of approximately $1.22 = EUR1, which reflects current
exchange rate levels combined with the impact of existing hedging
contracts.

  • In the digital consumer field, the company gained multiple design wins for both the STB7100 and STi7109 single-chip H.264 high-definition TV (HDTV) decoders with various OEMs addressing the worldwide operator market. Volume production of the STB7100 HD decoder is also ramping up in 90nm technology for use in IP set-top boxes (STBs) from major European operators. And, in the European cable market, multiple operators have adopted the STB5100 as the CPU/decoder solution for interactive DOCSIS-based set-top boxes.
  • ST announced its first range of STB decoders to embed Secure Video Processor (SVP) capability, the next-generation open specification for the protection of digital-video content. The two new devices - the STB5525, which is also ST's first single-chip solution to support dual TV and dual DVR (Digital Video Recorder) requirements in standard-definition STBs, and the STB5524, which targets the growing DVR market - are ideal for satellite, cable, and terrestrial TV services.
  • The Company announced the STx5300 family of MPEG-2 decoder chips for low-cost STBs and DVD recording that anticipate the increasing demands of interactive TV applications by increasing the available computing power by over five times compared to earlier devices. The chip uses the company's most advanced processor core, the ST200 VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) family, whose high performance has been certified at 300MHz by the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium and is intended for use in high-performance multimedia System-on-Chip (SoC) devices.
  • ST gained further success in Bluetooth as the company's single-chip STLC2500 recorded several design wins with major mobile phone manufacturers. And in audio applications, Taiwanese company TwinMos selected ST's audio Bluetooth chipset for its high-quality audio wireless applications, and has started production of Bluetooth wireless speakers and audio dongles.
  • In imaging, ST's 2-megapixel SMIA-based camera modules and image processors are now in volume production for use in mobile phones.
  • In the wireline infrastructure area, ST won a major ASIC design, which will be implemented in ST's leading-edge 65nm process technology. This design, won with a large telecomms customer, confirms the leading role played by ST in state-of-the-art ASICs.
  • For healthcare applications, ST introduced a lab-on-chip application for DNA-based detection of sepsis-causing bacteria, using a diagnostic panel from ST's bio-tech partner, Mobidiag, and running on ST's In-Check platform. Providing faster and more reliable results at a fraction of the cost and complexity of conventional laboratory systems, the miniaturised solution enables early detection of disease, resulting in better patient treatment choices and lower costs for healthcare systems.
  • In automotive, ST's strategic partnership with Bosch has been reinforced with the signature of an agreement for ST's next-generation BCD6S smart power process. Also in smart power, ST gained a significant design win in battery charging from an important European OEM.
  • In the power train area, ST won designs for several new kits with two major American OEMs for the European and American markets. In the car body area, ST signed with a major North American OEM for an advanced smart body-control module.
  • In car safety, ST has extended its reach into the Japanese market by winning a design from an important new OEM. Also in car safety, ST won a design for a new ABS chipset with a major American OEM for the worldwide market.
  • In car radio and multimedia, ST won a design for an advanced digital-input audio power amplifier with a leading North American customer for the 2007 model year. And finally in automotive, ST announced that it had shipped a cumulative total of approximately 10.5 million XM Satellite Radio Baseband Decoders to radio manufacturers, since starting production in 2001. The 10.5 million XM Radio decoders have been delivered to equipment manufacturers including Delphi and Pioneer, for vehicle, portable and home radio receivers.
  • In peripherals, ST started shipments of an advanced SATA (Serial ATA) SoC to a major hard-disk drive manufacturer.
