EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, February 8, 2018 – NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017.

NXP delivered fourth quarter revenue of $2.46 billion, an increase of approximately 1 percent year on year, and an increase of 3 percent as compared to the prior quarter, with the annual period comparison impacted by the divestment of the Standard Products business during the first quarter of 2017. HPMS segment revenue was $2.35 billion, an increase of 14 percent year on year, and an increase of 3 percent on a sequential basis.

Full year revenue was $9.26 billion, a decline of approximately 3 percent year on year, with the annual period comparison impacted by the previously noted divestment of the Standard Products business. Full year HPMS segment revenue was $8.75 billion, an increase of 8 percent year on year.

Within the Automotive group, fourth quarter revenue was $970 million, up 12 percent year on year, with auto MCU, advanced analog and infotainment all contributing to the year on year growth. For the full year 2017, Automotive group revenue was $3.76 billion, up 11 percent year on year. Within the Secure Connected Devices group, fourth quarter revenue was $745 million, up 31 percent year on year driven by demand for general purpose, multi-market MCU and high performance application processor products, in addition to seasonal strength for mobile transaction products. For the full year 2017, Secure Connected Device group revenue was $2.59 billion, up 21 percent year on year. In the Secure Interface and Infrastructure group, fourth quarter revenue was $497 million, up 3 percent year on year, driven by growth in Interface product revenue, offset by year-on-year revenue declines within the Digital Networking and RF-based product groups. For the full year 2017, Secure Interface and Infrastructure group revenue was $1.87 billion, up 3 percent year on year. Lastly, in Secure Identification Solutions group, fourth quarter revenue was $136 million, down 7 percent year on year due to ongoing weakness in the global bank-card and government identification markets, offset by positive trends in the mobility and retail markets. For the full year 2017, Secure Identification Solutions group revenue was $523 million, down 29 percent year on year.

“We continue to believe that our transaction with Qualcomm is critical to supporting our customers’ long term requirements in both autonomous driving and secure IoT given our complimentary product portfolios, Qualcomm’s strength in connectivity and high end processing and the difficulty of organically building leadership solutions. We are working diligently to close our transaction in early 2018. As of January 18th, the only outstanding governmental regulatory approval required is from the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) of the Government of China. Once obtained, the companies can execute the final tender offer process. Finally, I would like to personally thank all our employees for their focus and significant effort they have invested to assure NXP’s success and to thank all our customers for their commitment to NXP,” said Richard Clemmer, NXP Chief Executive Officer.

“In the fourth quarter, our GAAP operating margin was 8.6 percent, a 150-basis point improvement from the fourth quarter of 2016 due to the profit fall-through associated with the year on year growth of our HPMS segment, combined with the divestment of our Standard Products business which occurred in early 2017. Our fourth quarter non-GAAP operating margin was 31.1 percent, representing a 180-basis point improvement compared to the fourth quarter of 2016 and a 30-basis point improvement sequentially. And finally, due to flat gross debt and improved cash generation in the quarter, our overall financial leverage was reduced to 0.96x,” said Peter Kelly, NXP Chief Financial Officer.

Additional Information for the Fourth Quarter 2017:

 

    On October 27, 2016 Qualcomm, Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) and NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) announced a definitive agreement, unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, under which Qualcomm will acquire NXP. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, a subsidiary of Qualcomm will commence a tender offer to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of NXP for $110.00 per share in cash. The tender offer commenced on November 18, 2016.

 

    Total gross debt was $6.57 billion, flat on a sequential basis, and down from the $9.19 billion at the end of 2016. Cash was $3.55 billion, an increase from the $3.07 billion in the third quarter, and an increase from the $1.89 billion at the end of 2016. Net debt at the end of the fourth quarter was $3.02 billion, a decline from the $3.49 billion in the third quarter, and decline from $7.29 billion at the end of 2016. Trailing twelve months, adjusted EBITDA was $3.16 billion, an increase from $3.12 billion in the third quarter, and an increase from $2.98 billion at the end of 2016. Financial leverage, defined as net debt divided by trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA was 0.96x, an improvement from 1.12x in the third quarter, and an improvement from 2.45x reported at the end of 2016.

 

    Cash flow from operations was $738 million, an increase from the $643 million in the third quarter. Net capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment was $132 million, a decrease from the $161 million in the third quarter. Non-GAAP free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations, less net capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment was $606 million, an increase from the $482 million in the third quarter. For the full year 2017, cash flow from operations was $2.45 billion, an increase from the $2.30 billion in 2016. Net capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment was $550 million, an increase from the $388 million in the prior year. Full year non-GAAP free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations, less net capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment was $1.90 billion, essentially flat versus the prior year.

 

    During the fourth quarter NXP repurchased 2.1 million shares for a total cost of $248 million. Weighted average number of diluted shares (after deduction of treasury shares) for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 was 347 million. Due to the pending acquisition by Qualcomm, NXP has suspended its open market share repurchases. Shares are currently only repurchased in relation to employee equity award transactions.

 

    Net cash paid for interest was $81 million in the fourth quarter, and $245 million for the full year 2017.

    Net cash paid for income taxes related to on-going operations was $12 million, with an additional $65 million paid related to the divestment of the Standard Products business, for a total of $77 million. For the full year 2017, net cash paid for income taxes related to on-going operations was $96 million, with an additional $270 million paid related to the divestment of the Standard Products business, for a total of $366 million

 

    NXP’s fourth quarter results reflect an income tax benefit of approximately $747 million because of the U.S. corporate tax reform enacted in December. This primarily relates to the re-measurement of deferred taxes using the new U.S. statutory tax rate and the one-time transition benefit on our unremitted foreign earnings.

 

    SSMC, NXP’s consolidated joint-venture wafer fab with TSMC, reported fourth quarter 2017 operating income of $40 million, EBITDA of $52 million and a closing cash balance of $250 million. For the full year 2017, operating income was $146 million, EBITDA of $198 million.

 

    NXP combined wafer-fab utilization averaged 91 percent, as compared to 93 percent in the prior quarter, and 92% in the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

    Working capital metrics and channel inventory was:

 

    Days of inventory held by NXP was 99 days, flat sequentially versus the third quarter;

 

    Days payable was 92 days, up 6 days sequentially from the third quarter;

 

    Days sales was 33 days a decline of 2 days sequentially from the third quarter;

 

    The cash conversion cycle was 40 days, an improvement of 8 days versus the third quarter;

 

    Channel inventory held by NXP’s distribution partners was 2.3 months, flat on a sequential basis, and in line with NXPs long-term channel target of 2.5 months, plus or minus a half month.

 

    Sales into the distribution channel were up 3 percent sequentially;

 

    Sales out of the distribution channel were up 5 percent sequentially.

Guidance and Conference Call

As previously announced, NXP will not hold an earnings call nor provide forward guidance for the first quarter of 2018 due to the pending acquisition of NXP by Qualcomm.

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.
