NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today reported financial results for the second quarter 2011, ended July 3, 2011, and provided guidance for the third quarter 2011.
Product Revenue from continuing operations was $1,025 million, an increase of 10.7 percent from the $926 million reported in the second quarter of 2010, and an increase of 4.7 percent from the $979 million reported in the first quarter of 2011. Product Revenue is the combination of revenue from the HPMS and Standard Products segments. Total revenue from continuing operations was $1,121 million, an increase of 0.2 percent from the $1,119 million reported in second quarter of 2010 and an increase of 3.6 percent from the $1,082 million reported in the first quarter of 2011.
Revenue attributable to the combination of the Manufacturing Operations and Corporate and Other segments was $96 million, a 50.3 percent decrease from the $193 million reported in the second quarter of 2010, and a 6.8 percent decrease from the $103 million reported in the first quarter of 2011. The anticipated decline was primarily due to lower revenue in the Manufacturing Operations segment, as contractual obligations to provide manufacturing services for previously divested businesses continue to expire. Included in the total revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $28 million related to the divested NuTune business.
Gross profit from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was $523 million, or 46.7 percent of revenue, as compared to $446 million, or 39.9 percent of revenue reported in the second quarter of 2010. This compares to the $506 million, or 46.8 percent of revenue reported in the first quarter 2011.
Operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was $133 million, or 11.9 percent of revenue, as compared to an operating income of $76 million reported in the second quarter of 2010, or 6.8 percent of revenue. This compares to an operating income of $108 million, or 10.0 percent of revenue as reported in the first quarter of 2011.
Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $84 million or $0.33 per share (diluted). This compares to a net loss of $362 million, or a loss of $1.68 per share reported in the second quarter of 2010, and net income of $187 million or $0.73 per share (diluted) reported in the first quarter of 2011. During the second quarter of 2011 net income was impacted as compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to currency fluctuations on the company-s U.S. dollar-denominated debt.
All current and all prior period financial figures have been restated to reflect the previously announced divesture of NXP-s Sound Solutions business. The historical results of the Sound Solutions business are treated as a discontinued operation in NXP-s financial statements.
Non-GAAP gross profit from continuing operations was $536 million, or 47.8 percent of revenue, an increase from the $456 million, or 40.8 percent of revenue reported in the second quarter of 2010. This compares to $517 million, or 47.8 percent of revenue reported in the first quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP operating income from continuing operations was $229 million, or 20.4 percent of revenue, an increase from the $165 million, or 14.7 percent of revenue, reported in the second quarter of 2010. This compares to the non-GAAP operating income of $223 million, or 20.6 percent of revenue reported in the first quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP net income was $130 million, or $0.51 per share (diluted). This compares to non-GAAP net income of $74 million, or $0.34 per share (diluted) reported in the second quarter of 2010, and a net income of $117 million or $0.46 per share (diluted) reported in the first quarter of 2011.
“NXP delivered revenue growth during the second quarter at the high end of our original guidance with all of our business lines delivering sequential revenue growth,” said Richard Clemmer, NXP Chief Executive Officer. “Our quarterly performance marks the ninth consecutive quarter of sequential product revenue growth, a demonstration of the continued customer adoption of our overall product portfolio. As an example of customer recognition, NXP was recently awarded the “Bosch Supplier Award” from the Bosch Group, the automotive industries largest electronics supplier. The award was due to demonstrated excellence in the areas of manufacturing quality, technology and continuous improvement in product supply. We are very proud of the recognition bestowed on NXP.
“Our overall profitability remained flat during the quarter as non-GAAP gross margin was nearly 48 percent, a 700 basis point improvement versus the year ago period. We once again delivered improved operating profit during the quarter, as non-GAAP operating margin was just over 20 percent, a 570 basis point improvement versus the year ago period and in-line with our original guidance. However, within our HPMS segment, we experienced a moderation in gross margin expansion due to product mix within certain business lines combined with increased input costs.
“On July 4, 2011, we successfully closed the sale of our Sound Solutions business and received $855 million in gross proceeds. The closure of this transaction enables NXP to continue to focus on its core semiconductor business and to accelerate the process of de-leveraging our balance sheet. We have already applied a portion of the proceeds toward debt repayment.
“Within our High Performance Mixed Signal (HPMS) segment, revenue increased 5 percent sequentially, at the high end of our prior expectations. Growth was driven by strong demand within our Wireless Infrastructure, Industrial and Lighting business with high-performance RF power amplifiers, 32-bit ARM-based MCUs and lighting products all showing strong sequential growth. Additionally, as previously anticipated we experienced a seasonal rebound in our Automotive business and continued strength in our Identification business,” said Clemmer.
Annualized cost savings for the Redesign Program were $17 million in the second quarter of 2011, bringing the cumulative total since inception of the program to $831 million. NXP continues to estimate that the total annualized program savings since inception in September 2008 through its expected completion at the end of 2011 to be between $900 to 950 million.
Cash paid out for the Redesign Program was $15 million in the second quarter of 2011, bringing the cumulative total since the beginning of the program to $712 million. NXP continues to estimate that total program costs since inception in 2008 through its expected completion at the end of 2011 will be no greater than $725 million.
Net cash interest paid was $80 million during the second quarter of 2011.
SSMC, NXP-s consolidated joint-venture wafer fab with TSMC, reported second quarter 2011 operating income of $33 million, EBITDA of $44 million and had an ending cash balance of $196 million.
Utilization in NXP wafer fabs averaged 94 percent in the second quarter 2011 compared to 96 percent in the year ago period and 97 percent in the prior quarter.
During the second quarter of 2011 NXP-s total debt balance increased by $73 million due to a combination of currency fluctuations which impact the company-s Euro-based long-term debt and by the issuance of a new term loan, due in 2017 for $500 million and the drawdown under the Revolving Credit Facility for $200 million which were partly offset by debt retirement of $664 million.
On July 5, 2011 NXP announced the completion of its agreement with Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) whereby Dover-s Knowles Electronics business has acquired NXP-s Sound Solutions business, initially announced on December 22, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, Knowles has acquired NXP-s Sound Solutions business for $855 million in cash.

Non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for any information derived or calculated in accordance with GAAP. NXP provides this information as an additional insight as to how management assesses the performance and allocation of resources among its various segments and because the financial community uses it in its analysis of NXP-s operating performance, historical results and projections of NXP-s future operating results.
The non-GAAP measures used herein are not intended to be measures of financial performance or condition, liquidity or profitability 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.
Certain information referred to in this release, including “non-GAAP gross margin”, “non-GAAP operating margin”, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA – last 12 months”, have not been derived in accordance with GAAP and can vary from other participants in the semiconductor industry. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of NXP-s financial results as reported under GAAP. In this release the use of the terms:
“Non-GAAP gross profit”, “non-GAAP gross margin”, “non-GAAP operating margin”, “non-GAAP operating income” and “non-GAAP net income” are all non-GAAP financial measure that reflect the underlying operating and profit structure of NXP operations net of purchase price accounting (“PPA”), restructuring, other incidental items and the impact of other non-cash adjustments.
“EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and ” Trailing 12 month adjusted EBITDA”, are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management-s discretionary use, as these metrics do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, debt service requirements and replacement of fixed assets.
“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. The PPA effect on the Company-s gross profit refers to additional depreciation charges on tangible fixed assets, resulting from the step-up in fair values. The PPA effect in research and development expenses represents the write-off of in-process R&D. The amortization charges related to long-lived intangible assets are reflected in general and administrative expenses.
“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 gains and losses resulting from our divestment activities. NXP presents other incidental items in its analysis of results of operations because these costs, gains and losses, have affected the comparability of the company-s results over the years.
“Net debt” refers to the sum total of long and short term debt less total cash and cash equivalents, as reflected on the balance sheet.
