NXP Semiconductors Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results

EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, November 1, 2018 – NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today reported financial results for the third quarter 2018 ended September 30, 2018.

“NXP delivered strong results for the third quarter of 2018, with revenue at $2.45 billion, an increase of 2 percent year-on-year, an increase of 7 percent versus the prior quarter and $20 million above the mid-point of our guidance. HPMS segment revenue was $2.35 billion, an increase of 3 percent year-on-year, and an increase of 7 percent from the prior quarter,” said Richard Clemmer, NXP Chief Executive Officer.

“Within Automotive, third quarter revenue was $990 million, up 4 percent year-on-year, with advanced analog and infotainment primarily contributing to the year-on-year growth, while reduced pulls of automotive MCUs from tier-one customers impacted the overall year-on-year growth. Within Secure Connected Devices, third quarter revenue was $717 million, up 1 percent year-on-year driven by the continued demand for general purpose, multi-market MCUs, which were up high single digits, offset by a significant decline in demand for mobile transaction solutions after a strong new customer ramp during 2017. In Secure Interface and Infrastructure, third quarter revenue was $511 million, up 5 percent year-on-year due to early 5G network trials with North American carriers. Lastly, in Secure Identification Solutions, third quarter revenue was $133 million, down 4 percent year-on-year due to lower demand for bank card products.

“During the third quarter, we announced that we are in the process of simplifying our organizational structure, and promoted Kurt Sievers to President. Over Kurt’s tenure with NXP, he has successfully driven the NXP automotive business to become the industry leading automotive semiconductor supplier. These changes will enable us to drive improved cross business line collaboration, deliver holistic platform solutions to our customers and to strengthen our decision-making focus, speed, and efficiency. Additionally, during the quarter, we held a very well attended investor day, where we reiterated our strategic and financial goals. Given our strong balance sheet and the confidence of our strategic product development, we believe we are well positioned to drive significant value for our owners and to materially improve shareholder value. The NXP team is fully energized, focused, and motivated to outperform the market,” said Clemmer.

“In the third quarter, our GAAP operating margin was 90.4 percent, as result of the receipt of the $2 billion termination fee associated with the failed Qualcomm transaction, and continued operational performance” said Peter Kelly, NXP Chief Financial Officer.

“Our third quarter non-GAAP operating margin was 30.0 percent, a decline of 80 basis points as compared to 30.8 percent reported in the third quarter of 2017, as result of product mix and increased R&D investments between the year-on-year periods. On a sequential basis, our non-GAAP operating margin increased 300-basis points due to higher revenue, lower than anticipated incentive accruals and improved operating expense control during the third quarter.

“During the quarter, we returned approximately $4.6 billion to shareholders via our previously announced $5 billion share repurchase program, and we announced a $0.25 per share quarterly cash dividend program. Leverage increased to 1.39x, below our long-term target of 2x as we executed on our previously announced buyback and added $1 billion of debt in the form of a bridge loan,” said Kelly.

Guidance for the Fourth Quarter 2018: ($ millions) ⁽¹⁾

Note (1) Additional Information:

NXP has based the guidance included in this release on judgments and estimates that management believes are reasonable given its assessment of historical trends and other information reasonably available as of the date of this release. Please note, the guidance included in this release consists of predictions only, and is subject to a wide range of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond NXP’s control. The guidance included in this release should not be regarded as representations by NXP that the estimated results will be achieved. Actual results may vary materially from the guidance we provide today. In relation to the use of non-GAAP financial information see the note regarding “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. For the factors, risks, and uncertainties to which judgments, estimates and forward-looking statements generally are subject see the note regarding “Forward-looking Statements.” We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, including the guidance set forth herein, to reflect future events or circumstances.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In managing NXP’s business on a consolidated basis, management develops an annual operating plan, which is approved by our Board of Directors, using non-GAAP financial measures. In measuring performance against this plan, management considers the actual or potential impacts on these non-GAAP financial measures from actions taken to reduce costs with the goal of increasing our gross margin and operating margin and when assessing appropriate levels of research and development efforts. In addition, management relies upon these non-GAAP financial measures when making decisions about product spending, administrative budgets, and other operating expenses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting NXP’s business. We believe that they enable investors to perform additional comparisons of our operating results, to assess our liquidity and capital position and to analyze financial performance excluding the effect of expenses unrelated to operations, certain non-cash expenses and share-based compensation expense, which may obscure trends in NXP’s underlying performance. This information also enables investors to compare financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of these and other similar items in NXP’s non-GAAP financial results should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial statements portion of this release in a schedule entitled “Financial Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Results (unaudited).” Please refer to the NXP Historic Financial Model file found on the Financial Information page of the Investor Relations section of our website at www.nxp.com/investor for additional information related to our rationale for using these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as the impact of these measures on the presentation of NXP’s operations.

In addition to providing financial information on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), NXP also provides the following selected financial measures on a non-GAAP basis: (i) Gross profit, (ii) Gross margin, (iii) Research and development, (iv) Selling, general and administrative, (v) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, (vi) Other income, (vii) Operating income (loss), (viii) Operating margin, (ix) Financial Income (expense), (x) EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA, and (xi) free cash flow and free cash flow as a percent of Revenue. The non-GAAP information excludes the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, the purchase accounting effect on inventory and property, plant and equipment, merger related costs (including integration costs), certain items related to divestitures, share-based compensation expense, restructuring and asset impairment charges, non-cash interest expense on convertible notes, extinguishment of debt, changes in the fair value of the warrant liability prior to January 1, 2016 and foreign exchange gains and losses.
