Eindhoven, The Netherlands, February 5, 2015 – NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and the full-year ended December 31, 2014, as well as provided guidance for the first quarter of 2015.

“Our results in the fourth quarter of 2014 came in at the high-end of our guidance, as NXP delivered Product revenue of $1.50 billion, approximately a 20 percent increase from the same period in the prior year and a 2 percent sequential increase – significantly better than historic seasonality on a sequential basis. Total NXP revenue was $1.54 billion, a 1.5 percent sequential increase, and nearly a 19 percent increase from the same period in the prior year. Non-GAAP earnings per share in the fourth quarter was $1.35, at the upper-end of guidance, while non-GAAP free cash flow was $451 million or 29 percent of revenue,” said Richard Clemmer, NXP Chief Executive Officer.

“On a full-year basis, NXP delivered strong year-on-year growth, with all of our business lines achieving new historic revenue levels. Full-year Product revenue was $5.5 billion, up 17 percent year-on-year, as demand associated with key HPMS design opportunities continued to accelerate. HPMS segment revenue was $4.2 billion, an increase of 19 percent year-on-year, due to broad based strength across all our target end markets. Standard Product segment revenue was $1.3 billion, an increase of 11 percent year-on-year, reflecting better than overall industry growth in both our discrete and logic product lines. In total, NXP revenue was $5.65 billion, an increase of 17 percent year-on-year, greater than two-times the overall growth of the semiconductor industry. Full-year non-GAAP earnings per share was $4.76, up nearly 45 percent versus 2013, and full-year non-GAAP free cash flow was $1.14 billion, up 68 percent year-on-year, representing 20 percent of total revenue.

“During the fourth quarter, growth within the HPMS segment was better than seasonal and near the upper-end of our guidance range. We achieved record revenue levels in our Identification, Automotive and Infrastructure & Industrial businesses. Revenue in the Identification business was $411 million, up nearly 4 percent sequentially, and up 25 percent from the same period in the prior year. In Automotive revenue was $292 million, up 1 percent versus the third quarter and up 6 percent versus from the same period in the prior year. Within Portable & Computing, revenue was $213 million, down 2 percent from the prior quarter, yet still up 34 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue in Industrial & Infrastructure was $253 million, up 6 percent sequentially, and up 30 percent from the same period in the prior year.

“In summary, 2014 was a very good year for NXP. Our focused strategy of providing differentiated product solutions was confirmed by strong customer adoption and better than industry revenue growth which drove significant shareholder value. I want to thank all of the engaged NXP employees for their continued contribution and effort”, said Clemmer.

Note (1): 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. 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 “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” elsewhere in this release. 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. Considering the uncertain magnitude and variability of the foreign exchange consequences upon “PPA effects”, “restructuring costs”, “other incidental items” and any interest expense or taxes in future periods, management believes that GAAP financial measures are not available for NXP without unreasonable efforts on a forward looking basis.

Discussion of GAAP to non-GAAP Reconciliations

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) “non-GAAP gross profit,” (ii) “non-GAAP gross margin,” (iii) “non-GAAP Research and development,” (iv) “non-GAAP Selling, general and administrative,” (v) non-GAAP Other income,” (vi) “non-GAAP operating income (loss),” (vii) “non-GAAP operating margin,” (viii) “non-GAAP net income/ (loss),” (ix) “PPA effects,” (x) “Restructuring costs,” (xi) “Stock based compensation,” (xii) “Other incidental items,” (xiii) “non-GAAP Financial Income (expense),” (xiv) “non-GAAP Results relating to equity-accounted investees,” (xv) “non-GAAP Cash tax (expense),” (xvi) “diluted non-GAAP EPS,” (xvii) “EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA” and “trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA,” (xviii) “net debt,” (xix) “non-GAAP free cash flow” and (xx) “non-GAAP free cash flow margin.”

In this release, references to:

 

    “non-GAAP gross profit,” “non-GAAP research and development,” “non-GAAP Selling, general and administrative,” “non-GAAP Other income,” “non-GAAP operating income (loss),” and “non-GAAP net income/ (loss)” is to NXP’s gross profit, research and development, selling general and administrative, operating income and net income/ (loss) calculated on a basis consistent with GAAP, net of the effects of purchase price accounting (“PPA”), restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, other incidental items and certain other adjustments. “PPA effects” reflect the fair value adjustments impacting acquisition accounting and other acquisition adjustments charged to the income statement applied to the formation of NXP on September 29, 2006 and all subsequent acquisitions. “Restructuring costs” consist of costs related to restructuring programs and gains and losses resulting from divestment activities and impairment charges. “Stock based compensation” consists of incentive expense granted to eligible employees in the form of equity based instruments. “Other incidental items” consist of process and product transfer costs (which refer to the costs incurred in transferring a production process and products from one manufacturing site to another) and certain charges related to acquisitions and divestitures. “Other adjustments” include or exclude certain items that management believes provides insight into our core operating results, our ability to generate cash and underlying business trends affecting our performance.

 

    “non-GAAP gross margin” and “non-GAAP operating margin” is to our non-GAAP gross profit or our non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue, respectively;

 

    “non-GAAP Financial Income (expense)” is the interest income or expense net of impacts due to non-cash interest expense on convertible notes; foreign exchange changes on our Euro-denominated debt; gains or losses due to the extinguishment of long-term debt; changes in fair value of warrant liability; and less other financial expenses deemed to be one-time in nature;

 

    “non-GAAP Cash tax (expense)” represents the cash tax payments during the period;

 

    “diluted non-GAAP EPS” attributable to stockholders is to non-GAAP net income or loss attributable to NXP’s stockholders, divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for treasury shares held;

 

    “EBITDA” is to NXP’s earnings before financial income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization. “EBITDA” excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us, does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future, does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs and does not reflect the significant financial expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments, on our debts;

 

    “adjusted EBITDA” is to EBITDA after adjustments for “restructuring costs,” “stock-based compensation,” “other incidental items,” “other adjustments” and results related to equity accounted investees;

 

    “trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA” is to adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months;

 

    “net debt” is to the sum total of long and short term debt less total cash and cash equivalents, as reflected on the balance sheet;

 

    “non-GAAP free cash flow” is the sum of our Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities and our net Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment, as reflected on the cash flow statement.

 

    “non-GAAP free cash flow margin” is the sum of our Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities and our net Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment, as a percentage of total revenue.

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).”

NXP provides non-GAAP measures because management believes that they are helpful to understand the underlying operating and profit structure of NXP’s operations, to provide additional insight as to how management assesses the performance and allocation of resources among its various segments and because the financial community uses them in its analysis of NXP’s operating and/or financial performance, historical results and projections of NXP’s future operating results. NXP presents “non-GAAP gross profit,” “non-GAAP research and development,” “non-GAAP Selling, general and administrative,” “non-GAAP Other income,” “non-GAAP operating income,” “non-GAAP net income/ (loss),” “non-GAAP gross margin,” “non-GAAP operating margin” and “non-GAAP EPS” because these financials measures are net of “PPA effects,” “restructuring costs,” “stock based compensation,” “other incidental items,” and “other adjustments” which have affected the comparability of NXP’s results over the years. NXP presents “EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA” and “trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA” because these financials measures enhance an investor’s understanding of NXP’s financial performance.

Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for any information derived or calculated in accordance with GAAP, are not intended to be measures of financial performance or condition, liquidity, profitability or operating cash flows in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures can vary from other participants in the semiconductor industry. They have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation for analysis of NXP’s financial results as reported under GAAP.
