ON Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” or “our”) are a global supplier of power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components. We design, manufacture and market an extensive portfolio of semiconductor components that address the design needs of sophisticated electronic systems and products. Our power management semiconductor components control, convert, protect and monitor the supply of power to the different elements within a wide variety of electronic devices. Our data management semiconductor components provide high-performance clock management and data flow management for precision computing and communications systems. Our standard semiconductor components serve as “building block” components within virtually all electronic devices. These various products fall into the logic, analog and discrete categories used by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (“WSTS”) group.
We serve a broad base of end-user markets, including consumer electronics, computing, wireless communications, automotive electronics, industrial electronics and networking. Applications for our products in these markets include portable electronics, computers, game stations, servers, automotive and industrial automation control systems, routers, switches, storage-area networks and automated test equipment.
Our extensive portfolio of devices enables us to offer advanced integrated circuits and the “building block” components that deliver system level functionality and design solutions. Our product portfolio increased from approximately 28,800 products in 2006 to approximately 29,300 products in 2007, due to new product introductions, and we shipped approximately 32.6 billion units in 2007 as compared to 30.6 billion units in 2006. We specialize in micro packages, which offer increased performance characteristics while reducing the critical board space inside today’s ever shrinking electronic devices. We believe that our ability to offer a broad range of products provides our customers with single source purchasing on a cost-effective and timely basis.
We are organized into five operating segments, which also represent five reporting segments: automotive and power regulation, computing, digital and consumer, standard products (which include products that are sold in many different end-markets) and manufacturing services. Each of our major product lines has been assigned to a segment, as illustrated in the table below, based on our operating strategy. Because many products are sold into different end markets, the total revenue reported for a segment is not indicative of actual sales in the end market associated with that segment, but rather is the sum of the revenues from the product lines assigned to that segment. Our manufacturing services, in which we manufacture parts for other semiconductor companies, principally in our Gresham, Oregon facility, are reported in the manufacturing services segment. These segments represent our view of the business and as such are used to evaluate progress of major initiatives. From time to time, we reassess the alignment of our product families and devices to our operating segments and may move product families or individual devices from one operating segment to another.

We have approximately 118 direct customers worldwide, and we also service approximately 289 significant original equipment manufacturers indirectly through our distributor and electronic manufacturing service provider customers. Our direct and indirect customers include: (1) leading original equipment manufacturers in a broad variety of industries, such as Motorola, Delta, Hewlitt-Packard, Samsung, Continental Automotive Systems Siemens, Apple, Dell, Nokia, Intel, and Sony; (2) electronic manufacturing service providers, such as Flextronics, Jabil and Solectron; and (3) global distributors, such as Arrow, Avnet, EBV Elektronik, Future, Solomon Enterprise and World Peace.
We currently have major design operations in Arizona, California, Rhode Island, Texas, Oregon, China, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Korea, Ireland, and France, and we currently operate manufacturing facilities in Arizona, Oregon, China, the Czech Republic, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Slovakia. In the first quarter of 2007, we announced the planned closing of our Arizona manufacturing facilities for cost savings purposes. The wafer manufacturing that takes place at this facility is being transferred to our off-shore, low-cost manufacturing facilities. During the fourth quarter of 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell the wafer fabrication facility and associated land for approximately $16 million, subject to various conditions and certain adjustments. If the sale is completed at the originally contracted price, we expect to record gains totaling approximately $9.8 million. The sale is scheduled to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2008. We also continue to market additional unused portions of our property at our corporate headquarters in Arizona and plan to use some of the proceeds from the sale to upgrade portions of our corporate headquarters. During the second quarter of 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell three parcels of land totaling approximately 22 acres for approximately $12.3 million subject to various conditions and certain adjustments. If the sale is completed, at the originally contracted price, we expect to record gains totaling approximately $11.0 million over the next three to four quarters. The remaining unused building is currently being marketed for sale. We will maintain our headquarters offices and remaining manufacturing facilities on the portions of the property that are not for sale.
Company History and Capital Structure
Formerly known as the Semiconductor Components Group of the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola, Inc., we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola prior to August 4, 1999. We continue to hold, through direct and indirect subsidiaries, substantially all the assets and operations of the Semiconductor Components Group of Motorola’s Semiconductor Products Sector. On August 4, 1999, we were recapitalized (the “recapitalization”) and certain related transactions were effected pursuant to an agreement among us, our principal domestic operating subsidiary, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (“SCI LLC”), Motorola and affiliates of Texas Pacific Group (“TPG”).
On May 3, 2000, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock. The net proceeds were used to redeem all outstanding preferred stock (including accrued dividends) and redeem or prepay debt. On September 7, 2001, we obtained $100.0 million ($99.2 million, net of issuance costs) through an equity investment by an affiliate of TPG, who became our principal shareholder. In this transaction, we issued 10,000 shares of redeemable cumulative convertible preferred stock. In November 2005, we entered into a Conversion and Termination Agreement with TPG to convert our redeemable convertible preferred stock into approximately 49.4 million shares of our common stock. To induce the conversion, we issued approximately 3.9 million additional shares of our common stock to TPG. Following the conversion, none of the authorized shares of our preferred stock remained outstanding. (See Note 11, “Redeemable Preferred Stock” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” both included elsewhere in this report). As of December 31, 2006, TPG owned approximately 33%, or 95.4 million shares, of our outstanding shares of common stock. During 2007, TPG sold all of its remaining shares of our common stock and ceased being our principal stock holder.
On May 15, 2006, we, through our principal domestic operating subsidiary, SCI LLC, purchased LSI Logic Corporation’s (“LSI”) Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility, including real property, tangible personal property, certain intangible assets, other specified manufacturing equipment and related information. The assets
4
Table of Contents
purchased include an approximately 83 acre campus with an estimated 500,000 square feet of building space of which approximately 98,000 square feet is clean room. We hired substantially all of the manufacturing and engineering employees working at the Gresham wafer fabrication facility at the time of purchase. At the closing of the transaction, we also entered into several ancillary agreements including, but not limited to, a wafer supply and test agreement, intellectual property license agreement, transition services agreement and facility use agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the acquired assets was $106.5 million, which included $1.5 million in transaction related costs, plus an additional $1.1 million of certain net assets and liabilities that were assumed by SCI LLC when the purchase was finalized on May 15, 2006. The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased based on their relative fair values. See Note 6 “Acquisitions” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further discussion.
On December 13, 2007, we entered into a merger agreement with AMIS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AMIS”), under which AMIS will become our wholly-owned subsidiary. The merger agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, and is expected to be completed within the first six months of 2008. Consummation of the merger is subject to several closing conditions, including shareholder approval by both companies. At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of AMIS will be converted into the right to receive 1.150 shares of our common stock, which had an estimated value of $894.1 million when the merger was announced on December 13, 2007. Consummation of the merger is subject to several closing conditions.
On December 31, 2007, we purchased from Analog Devices, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“ADI”) certain assets, including property, plant and equipment and intellectual property rights related to ADI’s voltage regulation and thermal monitoring products for its computing applications business (“PTC Business”). As part of the purchase, we offered employment to substantially all of ADI’s employees involved in the PTC Business. We also entered into several ancillary agreements, including a licensing agreement, a one-year manufacturing supply agreement with ADI as the supplier, a transition services agreement, and an escrow agreement covering certain post-closing indemnification obligations of ADI. The total acquisition cost of $148.0 million of cash included $147.0 million paid to ADI for the PTC Business and approximately $1.0 million in legal, accounting and appraisal fees related to the transaction. In addition, the Company entered into a $36.9 million supply agreement for inventory. As a result of the acquisition, we expect that the technical expertise, customer relationships and power management know-how of the PTC Business and its employees will expand our overall computing power management business and accelerate its notebook power management revenue. See Note 6 “Acquisitions” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further discussion.
We used cash on hand to repurchase 5,000,000 shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2007, at a price of $11.05 per share. These shares were acquired for general corporate purposes. Neither these shares, nor shares previously repurchased by us, had been reissued or retired as of December 31, 2007.
Debt Financings and Cost Savings Initiatives
Since our 1999 recapitalization, we have had relatively high levels of long-term debt as compared to our principal competitors. During 2002 and 2003 we engaged in several debt refinancing transactions, which extended a portion of our debt maturities. Some of the transactions that extended our debt maturities also resulted in an increase in our overall interest expense and others lowered our overall interest expense. In connection with these transactions, we amended our senior bank facilities to, among other things, make our financial covenants less restrictive on the whole.
Since 2003, we began undertaking measures to reduce our long-term debt and related interest costs. As a result of these measures, we reduced our total debt from $1,302.9 million as of December 31, 2003 to $1,159.4 million as of December 31, 2007. We also reduced our interest expense from $151.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $38.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Although we have production at several locations, we have initiated process improvements and selective capital acquisitions that we expect will increase our overall capacity. Our profitability enhancement programs will continue to focus on:
• | consolidation of manufacturing sites to improve economies of scale; |
• | transfer of production to lower cost regions; |
• | increase in die manufacturing capacity in a cost-effective manner by moving production from 4” to 6” or 8” wafers and increasing the number of die per square inch; |
• | reduction of the number of new product platforms and process flows; and |
• | focusing production on profitable product families. |

Excluded from the table above are manufacturing services revenues of $96.4 million, $100.6 million, and $4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which are primarily for foundry services.
Automotive and Power Regulation Group. The explosion in higher performance consumer and computing devices has fueled energy consumption growth which is driving strong demand for highly efficient power supplies needed to charge and run them. Similarly, the proliferation of electronic subsystems in automobiles (the value of the electronic content now exceeds that of the metal in many cars) has put tremendous stress on the existing 12 volt electrical backbone of automobiles. Power efficiency has become a critical issue as more and more electronic features are added. We are a global supplier of power management analog products. We have a complete power management portfolio in the six major product categories, which include DC-DC converters, AC-DC converters, analog automotive, rectifier, auto power and LDO and voltage regulators. In the automotive space we are a global supplier of power management and protection devices including linear regulators and ignition Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT’s).
Computing Products Group. As computing platforms, both desktop and portable, evolve from data-processing systems (database manipulation, word processing and spreadsheets) to signal processing systems (audio, video, and wireless communications) the core processors need to be more and more powerful. More powerful processors in turn require more efficient power supplies and more efficient use of power on the motherboard and subsequent peripherals. The Computing Products Group is focused on delivering efficient controllers and power MOSFETs for power management in VCORE, DDR, and chipsets for audio, video, and graphics processing subsystems. We believe our success in these markets is attributable to our superior technology and manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, which are needed to serve this high-volume market.
Digital and Consumer Products Group. The focus of the Digital and Consumer Products Group is on cell phones and small portable electronic devices such as PDAs, MP3s, and handheld GPS. Digital portable devices such as cell phones, PDAs, MP3s, and handheld GPS have become multi-functional devices incorporating many options including wireless communications, audio, video, and camera functions. The integration of functionality onto such small platforms puts a premium on being able to put high-performance devices into extremely small packages. We have a broad portfolio of products and solutions that serve this space in industry leading micro-packages. The four application areas in which we have a significant position are: system power management with FETs and DC-DC converters; EMI and RF filtering; audio and video signal distribution with analog switches and op amps; and LED lighting solutions for LCD screens and camera flash.
Standard Products Group. We serve a broad base of end-user markets, including consumer electronics, computing, wireless communications, automotive electronics, industrial electronics and networking via four major product categories, which include standard diode & transistor products, over-voltage protection products, standard logic products and high frequency products. We supply small signal and power bipolar discrete semiconductors in required building blocks known as diodes and transistors as well as combinations of these functions. Our discrete semiconductor components are used in circuits across every end-segment; with no one segment demanding a large share of our capacity, to provide power switching, conditioning, protection, signal amplification or voltage reference functions. Most of our devices are packaged in industry leading micro packages allowing them to be easily designed into the latest portable consumer devices. As device size shrinks in portable and computing systems, the threat from ESD and power surges increases exponentially. Protection on input/output ports becomes a critical issue for designers both from a point of view of manufacturability and product robustness once it is in the hands of the consumer. We offer a complete line of industry leading ESD and Zener TVS devices that provide a robust energy-absorption-to-footprint ratio. The standard logic products include various legacy families (VHC, LCX, Metal Gate, and HC) as well as a growing family of MiniGateTM (small 1, 2 and 3 gate logic) and voltage translators. System designers require standard logic to provide signal conditioning, isolation and voltage level translation between IC’s and system boards. These new products offer reduced power consumption and system integration solutions in ultra small space saving packages. The clock and data management products are comprised of our PureEdgeTM Phase Locked Loop (PLL) timing functions and
7
Table of Contents
high frequency Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL). The PureEdgeTM family includes low phase noise jitter clock synthesizers and clock modules that are targeted at replacing traditional crystal oscillators. We design and deliver application specific integrated circuits using advanced technologies that address the high performance needs of communication and networking switches, high end servers, high performance work stations, storage networks and precision measurement test systems. We enable application specific designs for today’s advanced networks, including Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Enterprise Networks, Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Internet Protocol (IP) applications.
We have been doing business with 39 of our 50 largest customers for more than five years. Sales agreements with customers are renewable periodically and contain certain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, warranty and supply but do not require minimum purchase commitments. Most of our original equipment manufacturer customers negotiate pricing terms with us on an annual basis near the end of the calendar year while our other customers, including electronic manufacturer service providers, generally negotiate pricing terms with us on a quarterly basis. Our products are ultimately purchased for use in a variety of end markets: computing, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, wireless communications and networking. Sales to our largest customers, Avnet, Arrow and Motorola, accounted for approximately 11%, 7% and 4%, respectively, of our revenues during 2007, as compared to 11%, 9% and 7%, respectively, of our revenues during 2006, and 13%, 9% and 10%, respectively, of our revenues during 2005.
We generally warrant that products sold to our customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to our approved specifications. Subject to certain exceptions, our standard warranty extends for a period that is the greater of (i) three years from the date of shipment or (ii) the period of time specified in the customer’s standard warranty (provided that the customer’s standard warranty is stated in writing and extended to purchasers at no additional charge). Generally, our customers may cancel orders 30 days prior to shipment without incurring a significant penalty. For additional information regarding agreements with our customers, see “Backlog” below.

Original Equipment Manufacturers. Direct sales to original equipment manufacturers accounted for approximately 39% of our revenues in 2007, 38% of our revenues in 2006, and 41% of our revenues in 2005. These customers include a variety of companies in the electronics industry such as Motorola, Delta, Hewlitt-Packard, Samsung, Continental Automotive Systems, Siemens, Apple, Dell, Nokia, Intel, and Sony, and in the automotive industry include DaimlerChrysler, Delphi, TRW and Visteon. We focus on three types of original equipment manufacturers: multi-nationals, selected regional accounts and target market customers. Large multi-nationals and selected regional accounts, which are significant in specific markets, are our core original equipment manufacturer customers. The target market customers in the communications, power management and standard analog and the high frequency clock and data management markets are original equipment manufacturers that are on the leading edge of specific technologies and provide direction for technology and new product development. Generally, our original equipment manufacturer customers do not have the right to return our products other than pursuant to the provisions of our standard warranty.
Distributors. Sales to distributors accounted for approximately 50% of our revenues in 2007 and 48% of our revenues in each of 2006 and 2005. Our distributors, which include Arrow, Avnet, EBV Elektronik, Future, Solomon Enterprise and World Peace resell to mid-sized and smaller original equipment manufacturers and to electronic manufacturing service providers and other companies. Sales to distributors are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Under certain agreements, distributors are allowed to return any product that we have removed from our price book. In addition, agreements with our distributors typically contain standard stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns. However, since we defer recognition of revenue and gross profit on sales to distributors until the distributor resells the product, due to our inability to reasonably estimate up front the effect of the returns and allowances with these distributors, sales returns have minimal impact on our results of operations.
Electronic Manufacturing Service Providers. Direct sales to electronic manufacturing service providers accounted for approximately 10% of our revenues in 2007, 14% of our revenues in 2006, and 11% of our revenues in 2005. Our largest electronic manufacturing service customers are Flextronics, Jabil and Solectron. These customers are manufacturers who typically provide contract manufacturing services for original equipment manufacturers. Originally, these companies were involved primarily in the assembly of printed circuit boards, but they now typically provide design, supply management and manufacturing solutions as well. Many original equipment manufacturers now outsource a large part of their manufacturing to electronic manufacturing service providers in order to focus on their core competencies. We are pursuing a number of strategies to penetrate this increasingly important marketplace.
See Part II, Item 7 “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this report for revenues by geographic locations.

We operate an assembly and test operations facility in Leshan, China. This facility is owned by a joint venture company, Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited (“Leshan”), of which we own a majority of the outstanding equity interests. Our investment in Leshan has been consolidated in our financial statements. Our joint venture partner, Leshan Radio Company Ltd, is formerly a state-owned enterprise. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, requests for production capacity are made to the board of directors of Leshan by each shareholder of the joint venture. Each request represents a purchase commitment by the requesting shareholder, provided that the shareholder may elect to pay the cost associated with the unused capacity (which is generally equal to the fixed cost of the capacity) in lieu of satisfying the commitment. We committed to purchase 81% of Leshan’s production capacity in 2007 and 85% in both 2006 and 2005 and are currently committed to purchase approximately 75% of Leshan’s expected production capacity in 2008. In 2007 and 2006, we did not incur any underutilization charges. In 2005, we incurred $0.2 million in underutilization charges. As part of our manufacturing agreements with Leshan, we supply die used in the production process.
The Leshan facility is one of our lowest cost manufacturing operations, and we anticipate that any future expansion of our manufacturing capacity would involve this facility. In June 2002, we obtained approval from the Chinese government for the Leshan joint venture to invest up to $231 million in semiconductor operations,
11

which is in addition to the $278 million originally approved. In 2004, we committed to make capital contributions of approximately $25 million to this joint venture by 2012, subject to market conditions. We have the ability to time these expenditures at our discretion to meet market demand.
In 2006, we acquired an additional interest in our investment in Leshan for $9.2 million, for which the incremental interest in the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets had an estimated fair value of $5.4 million resulting in $3.8 million of goodwill.
We also use third-party contractors for some of our manufacturing activities, primarily for wafer fabrication and the assembly and testing of finished goods. Our agreements with these contract manufacturers typically require us to forecast product needs and commit to purchase services consistent with these forecasts. In some cases, longer-term commitments are required in the early stages of the relationship. These contract manufacturers, including AIT, ASE, KEC, MagnaChip, Phenitec and PSI, accounted for approximately 22%, 24% and 25% of our manufacturing costs in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Our manufacturing processes use many raw materials, including silicon wafers, gold, copper lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and various chemicals and gases. We obtain our raw materials and supplies from a large number of sources generally on a just-in-time basis, and material agreements with our suppliers that impose minimum or continuing supply obligations are reflected in our table showing commitments, contingencies and indemnities in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this report. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. Although we believe that supplies of the raw materials we use are currently and will continue to be available, shortages could occur in various essential materials due to interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry.
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
As of December 31, 2007, our global sales and marketing organization consisted of approximately 364 professionals operating out of approximately 30 offices which serve customers in 38 countries. We support our customers through logistics organizations and just-in-time warehouses. Global and regional distribution channels further support our customers’ needs for quick response and service. We offer efficient, cost-effective internet-based applications support from our laboratories in the Czech Republic, China and the United States. Through on-line connectivity, applications developed in one region of the world are now instantaneously available to all other regions. Since 2004, our cost structure related to freight, shipping and logistical services has been improved as a result of our newest global distribution centers in the Philippines and Shanghai, China, which also resulted in improved domestic shipping and customs clearance operations. We continue to monitor our freight and logistical support operations for potential cost savings.
Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Other Intellectual Property Rights
We market our products under our registered trademark ON Semiconductor® and our ON logo. We own rights to a number of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property directly related to and important to our business. In connection with our 1999 recapitalization, Motorola assigned, licensed or sublicensed to us, as the case may be, certain intellectual property to support and continue the operation of our business. As of January 15, 2008, we had approximately 632 U.S. and foreign patents and approximately 751 patent applications pending worldwide. Our patents have expiration dates ranging from 2008 to 2026. None of our patents that expire in the near future materially affect our business. Additionally, we have rights to more than 240 registered and common law trademarks. Our policy is to protect our products and processes by asserting our intellectual property rights where appropriate and prudent and by obtaining patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights used in connection with our business when practicable and appropriate.
12
Table of Contents
As part of the recapitalization, Motorola assigned to us approximately 295 U.S. patents and patent applications, approximately 292 foreign patents and patent applications, rights to over 50 trademarks (not including the Motorola name) previously used in connection with our products, rights in know-how relating to at least 39 semiconductor fabrication processes and rights in specified copyrightable materials. In addition, Motorola licensed on a nonexclusive, royalty-free basis other patent, trademark, copyright and know-how rights used in connection with our then existing products and products contemplated in our long-range plans. We have perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide rights under Motorola’s patent portfolio and other intellectual property, existing as of the date of our recapitalization or created in the five years thereafter (the five-year period existing only with respect to patents), as necessary to manufacture, market and sell our then existing and long range plan product lines. Additionally, Motorola provided us with a limited indemnity umbrella to protect us from certain infringement claims by third parties who had granted Motorola licenses as of the date of our recapitalization, which assisted us in developing our own patent position and licensing program. Through these arrangements, we have the right to use a significant amount of Motorola-owned technology used in connection with the products we currently offer.
Our revenues have been affected by the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the seasonal trends of related end markets. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, this pattern has shifted to more of a seasonally soft first half with a stronger second half as our products have increasingly become more consumer driven.
Our trade sales are made primarily pursuant to standard purchase orders or customer agreements that are booked as far as 26 weeks in advance of delivery. Generally, prices and quantities are fixed at the time of booking. Backlog as of a given date consists of existing orders and forecasted demands from our Electronic Data Interface customers, in each case scheduled to be shipped over the 13-week period following such date. Backlog is influenced by several factors including market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product lead times. Because we record revenues on a “sell-through” basis, backlog comprised of orders from distributors will not result in revenues until the distributors sell the products ordered. During 2007, our backlog at the beginning of each quarter represented between 80% and 86% of actual revenues during such quarter. As manufacturing capacity utilization in the industry increases, customers tend to order products further in advance and, as a result, backlog at the beginning of a period as a percentage of revenues during such period is likely to increase.
In the semiconductor industry, backlog quantities and shipment schedules under outstanding purchase orders are frequently revised to reflect changes in customer needs. Agreements calling for the sale of specific quantities are either contractually subject to quantity revisions or, as a matter of industry practice, are often not enforced. Therefore, a significant portion of our order backlog may be cancelable. For these reasons, the amount of backlog as of any particular date may not be an accurate indicator of future results.
We sell products to key customers pursuant to contracts that allow us to schedule production capacity in advance and allow the customers to manage their inventory levels consistent with just-in-time principles while shortening the cycle times required for producing ordered products. However, these contracts are typically amended to reflect changes in customer demands and periodic price renegotiations.
The semiconductor industry, particularly the market for general-purpose semiconductor products like ours, is highly competitive. Although only a few companies compete with us in all of our product lines, we face significant competition within each of our product lines from major international semiconductor companies, as well as smaller companies focused on specific market niches. Because our components are often building block
13
Table of Contents
semiconductors that in some cases can be integrated into more complex integrated circuits, we also face competition from manufacturers of integrated circuits, application-specific integrated circuits and fully customized integrated circuits, as well as customers who develop their own integrated circuit products. (See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors — Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Other Aspects of Our Business — elsewhere in this report.)
We compete with respect to our four primary operating segments (automotive and power regulation, computing products, digital and consumer products and standard products) in the following manner:
Automotive and Power Regulation
The principal methods of competition in this group are new product innovation, technical performance, quality, service and price. Our competitive strengths in this group are our strong technology and design resources, our industry recognition in applications, such as automotive and computing, and our market share. Our significant competitors in this market include Fairchild, Linear Technology, Maxim, National Semiconductor, ST Microelectronics and Texas Instruments. Several of these competitors are larger in scale and size, have substantially greater financial and other resources with which to pursue development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products and are better able to withstand adverse economic or market conditions. A competitive challenge in this group is our small market share with certain Japanese automotive customers that tend to favor local suppliers for their new product designs. If we are not identified as a vendor in the product design phase, in most cases it is difficult to convince the manufacturer of the product to substitute our components during the production phase.
Computing Products
The principal methods of competition in this group are technical performance, total cost of solution ownership, quality and assurance of supply. Our dual-edge architecture for our microprocessor and DDR memory controllers offers a competitive cost-of-ownership and performance position to compete with incumbent suppliers. In addition, the breadth of our portfolio in other support functions DC-DC converters, over voltage protection FETs and analog give us the opportunity to serve multiple requirements and allow customers to control their vendor lists more easily. Our significant competitors in this market include Intersil, International Rectifier, Fairchild, and Infineon. Several of these competitors are larger in scale and size, have substantially greater financial and other resources with which to pursue development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products and are better able to withstand adverse economic or market conditions.
Digital and Consumer Products
The principal methods of competition in this group are new product innovation, especially in packaging, technical performance, price, quality and assurance of supply. Our competitive strengths in this group are our ability to put RF and EMI filters and FETs products in ever smaller packages without significantly degrading performance. Our significant competitors in this market include National, Maxim, Fairchild, Infineon, International Rectifier, Philips, ST Microelectronics and Vishay. Several of these competitors are larger in scale and size, have substantially greater financial and other resources with which to pursue development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products and are better able to withstand adverse economic or market conditions.
Standard Products
Our competitive strength in this area is the breadth of our portfolio, our low cost structure, high quality and our supply chain management which ensures supply to key customers. The principal methods of competition in this group are new product innovation and constantly introducing new packages and performance spins on existing products. Of particular importance are our over voltage protection portfolios (ESD Protection, TVS
14
Table of Contents
Zeners) and our clock management and distribution portfolios where we enjoy significant performance advantages over our competition. Our significant competitors in this market include Fairchild, Diodes, NXP, International Rectifier, Vishay, Micrel, IDT/ICS, ST Microelectronics, Texas Instruments and Semtech.
Company-sponsored research and development costs in 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $133.0 million (8.5% of revenue), $101.2 million (6.6% of revenue) and $93.7 million (7.4% of revenues), respectively. Our new product development efforts continue to be focused on building solutions in power management that appeal to customers in focused market segments and across multiple high growth applications. During 2007, research and development spend increased due to the porting of existing products, development of new products and expansion of our digital production capabilities in our Gresham fab. It is our practice to regularly re-evaluate our research and development spending, to assess the deployment of resources and to review the funding of high growth technologies regularly. We deploy people and capital with the goal to maximize our investment in research and development and to position us for continued growth. As such, we often invest opportunistically to refresh existing products in our commodity analog, standard component, MOS power and clock and data management products. We invest in these initiatives when we believe there is a strong customer demand or opportunities to innovate our current portfolio in high growth markets and applications.
Our manufacturing operations are subject to environmental and worker health and safety laws and regulations. These laws and regulations include those relating to emissions and discharges into the air and water; the management and disposal of hazardous substances; the release of hazardous substances into the environment at or from our facilities and at other sites; and the investigation and remediation of resulting contamination.
Our manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona is located on property that is a “Superfund” site, a property listed on the National Priorities List and subject to clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Motorola is actively involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of our 1999 recapitalization, Motorola has retained responsibility for this contamination and has agreed to indemnify us with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter. During the fourth quarter 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell the wafer fabrication facility and associated land at our Phoenix site. The sale is scheduled to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2008. During the second quarter of 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell three parcels of land at our Phoenix site totaling approximately 22 acres. These sales are expected to be finalized by the end of 2008. Additionally, one of our unused buildings at our Phoenix site is currently being marketed for sale.
Manufacturing facilities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic have ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred during the years that these facilities were operated by government-owned entities. In each matter, these remediation projects consist primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded at each of the respective locations. The governments of the Czech Republic and Slovakia have agreed to indemnify us and the respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Based upon the information available, we do not believe that total future remediation costs to us will be material.
Our design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island is located on property that has localized soil contamination. When we purchased the East Greenwich facility, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not To Sue with the State of Rhode Island. This agreement requires that remedial actions be undertaken and a quarterly groundwater monitoring program be initiated by the former owners of the property. Based on the information available, we do not believe that any costs to us in connection with this matter will be material.

We believe that our operations are in material compliance with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. We do not expect the cost of compliance with existing environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, and liability for currently known environmental conditions, to have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects. It is possible, however, that future developments, including changes in laws and regulations, government policies, customer specification, personnel and physical property conditions, including currently undiscovered contamination, could lead to material costs.
As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 11,658 employees worldwide. We do not currently have any collective bargaining arrangements with our employees, except for those arrangements, such as workers councils, that are obligatory for all employees or all employers in a particular industry under applicable foreign law. Of the total number of our employees as of December 31, 2007, approximately 10,113 were engaged in manufacturing and information services, approximately 616 were engaged in our sales and marketing organization which includes customer service, approximately 356 were engaged in administration and approximately 573 were engaged in research and development.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
Overview
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated in this Form 10-K could be deemed forward-looking statements, particularly statements about our plans, strategies and prospects under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.” Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” or “anticipates,” or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K are made based on our current expectations and estimates, and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Among these factors are, as discussed more below, our revenues and operating performance, changes in overall economic conditions, the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, changes in demand for our products, changes in inventories at our customers and distributors, technological and product development risks, availability of raw materials, competitors’ actions, pricing and gross margin pressures, loss of key customers, order cancellations or reduced bookings, changes in manufacturing yields, control of costs and expenses, significant litigation, risks associated with acquisitions and dispositions, (including the recently completed purchase of the PTC Business from ADI and the pending merger transaction with AMIS) risks associated with our substantial leverage and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, the risk that we will have difficulty repaying or refinancing AMIS’s outstanding debt prior to or concurrent with the completion of the merger transaction, risks associated with our international operations, the threat or occurrence of international armed conflict and terrorist activities both in the United States and internationally, risks and costs associated with increased and new regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards (including pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), and risks involving environmental or other governmental regulation. Additional factors that could affect our future results or events are described from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update such information.
You should carefully consider the trends, risks and uncertainties described below and other information in this Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the following trends, risks or uncertainties actually occurs or continues, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected, the trading prices of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to the Potential Merger and Reorganization of AMIS with and into Orange Acquisition Corporation, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”)
The issuance of shares of our common stock to AMIS stockholders in the potential merger will substantially dilute the interest held by our stockholders prior to the merger.
As soon as practicable, a special meeting of our stockholders will be held to vote on the merger between AMIS and us, as well as other items further elaborated on in Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 filed with the SEC on February 8, 2008. If the merger is completed, we will issue up to approximately 102.8 million shares of our common stock in the merger. Based on the number of shares AMIS common stock outstanding and our common stock outstanding on the respective record dates, AMIS stockholders will own in the aggregate, approximately 26% of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after the merger on a fully diluted basis. The issuance of shares of our common stock to AMIS stockholders in the merger and to holders of assumed options and restricted stock unit awards to acquire shares of AMIS common stock will cause a
19
Table of Contents
significant reduction in the relative percentage interest of our current stockholders in earnings, voting, liquidation value and book and market value.
The uncertainty about the completion of the merger and the diversion of management could harm us, whether or not the merger is completed.
In response to the announcement of the potential merger with AMIS, our existing or prospective customers may delay or defer their purchasing or other decisions, or they may seek to change their existing business relationship. In addition, as a result of the merger, current and prospective employees could experience uncertainty about their future with us, and we could lose key employees as a result. In addition to retention, these uncertainties may also impair our ability to recruit or motivate key personnel. Completion of the merger will also require a significant amount of time and attention from management. The diversion of management attention away from ongoing operations could adversely affect ongoing operations and business relationships.
Failure to complete the merger could adversely affect our stock price, future business, and financial results.
Completion of the merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of certain antitrust approvals under the laws of certain foreign jurisdictions, and approval of our stockholders and of AMIS’s stockholders. There is no assurance that we will receive all of the necessary approvals or satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the merger. Failure to complete the proposed merger could prevent us from realizing the anticipated benefits of the merger. We will also remain liable for significant transaction costs, including legal, accounting and financial advisory fees. In addition, the market price of our common stock may reflect various market assumptions as to whether the merger will occur. Consequently, the completion of, or failure to complete, the merger could result in a significant change in the market price of our common stock.
The ability to complete the merger with AMIS is subject to the receipt of consents and approvals from government entities, which may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on us or could cause us to abandon the merger.
In deciding whether to grant antitrust and competition approvals, the relevant governmental entities will consider the effect of the merger on competition within their relevant jurisdictions. The terms and conditions of the approvals that are granted, if accepted, may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of our business following the merger.
We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the necessary approvals or that any other conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions sought to be imposed, and if accepted, would not have a material adverse effect on us following the merger. In addition, we can provide no assurance that these conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the merger. For additional information, see Note 4 “Pending Acquisition” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further discussion.
The anticipated benefits of the merger with AMIS, including anticipated costs savings, may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.
The merger involves the integration of two companies that have previously operated independently with principal offices in two distinct locations. Due to legal restrictions, we are able to conduct only limited planning regarding the integration of AMIS with us prior to completion of the merger. We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the two companies. Delays in this process could adversely affect our business, financial results, financial condition and stock price following the merger.
We estimate that approximately $50 million in pre-tax savings in 2009 may be achieved through the integration of AMIS into our business and rationalization of our combined infrastructure with AMIS. As with any
20
Table of Contents
estimate, it is possible that the estimates of the potential cost savings could turn out to be incorrect. Moreover, even if we were able to integrate AMIS’s business operations successfully, there can be no assurance that this integration will result in the realization of the full benefits of synergies, cost savings, innovation and operational efficiencies that may be possible from this integration or that these benefits will be achieved within a reasonable period of time.
Additionally, as a condition to their approval of the merger, regulatory agencies may impose requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of our combined business with AMIS. If we were able to agree to these requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions with AMIS and the regulatory agencies, then our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger may be impaired.
We will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the merger with AMIS.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with completing the merger and combining the operations AMI with our business. The exact magnitude of these costs is not yet known. In addition, there may be unanticipated costs associated with the integration. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs and other efficiencies may offset incremental transaction and merger-related costs over time, these benefits may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.
Resales of shares of our common stock following the merger with AMIS, additional obligations to issue shares of our common stock and repurchases of our common stock may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate.
As of February 4, 2008, we had approximately 292,687,576 million shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 23,239,411 million shares of common stock subject to outstanding options and other rights to purchase or acquire its shares. We currently expect that we will issue approximately 102.8 million shares of our common stock in connection with the merger. The issuance of these new shares of our common stock and the sale of additional shares of our common stock that may become eligible for sale in the public market from time to time upon exercise of options (including a substantial number of our options that will replace existing AMIS options) and other equity-linked securities could have the effect of depressing the market price for shares of our common stock.
In connection with the announcement of the merger agreement and the merger with AMIS, we also announced that we have increased the number of shares of our common stock authorized for repurchase under our share repurchase program from 30 million shares to 50 million shares. Any repurchases could have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock above levels that would have otherwise prevailed or preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of our common stock.
See later in this report (1) “Risk Factors—Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Other Aspects of Our Business” for risks associated with a purported stockholder class action lawsuit against AMIS and others in connection with the proposed merger between AMIS and us, and (2) “Risk Factors—Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Our Indebtedness” for risks associated with the repayment or refinancing of AMIS’s debt concurrent with the completion of the proposed merger between AMIS and us.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Other Aspects of Our Business
We have experienced declines in revenues and operating losses, and we may experience additional declines in revenues and operating losses in the future.
At times our historical financial results have been subject to substantial fluctuations and during those times we have experienced declines in revenues and operating losses. Although, recently, we have experienced some strength in our results over the course of the past couple fiscal years, reduced end-user demand, price declines, excess inventory, underutilization of our manufacturing capacity and other factors could adversely affect our
21
Table of Contents
business, and we may experience declines in revenue and operating losses in the future. In order to remain profitable, we must continue to successfully implement our business plan, including our cost reduction initiatives. We also currently face an environment of uncertain demand and pricing pressure in the markets our products address. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sustain our recent profitability.
We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns.
The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical. The industry has experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles (for semiconductors and for the end-user products in which they are used) and declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. In some ways, we have experienced these conditions in our business in the past and may experience such downturns in the future. We can not accurately predict the timing of future downturns in the semiconductor industry and how severe and prolonged these downturns might be. Future downturns in the semiconductor industry, or any failure of the industry to fully recover from downturns, could seriously impact our revenues and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may experience difficulties in operating the Gresham manufacturing facility, including the inability to utilize this additional capacity in a cost-efficient manner and to successfully develop new products which can be manufactured in this facility.
On May 15, 2006, we acquired the Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility and hired substantially all of the manufacturing and engineering employees working at the Gresham facility. Our ability to achieve the benefits we anticipated from the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility depend in large part upon whether we are able to operate this facility in an efficient and cost-effective manner. If we are unable to operate this facility successfully, we may be unable to realize the cost savings, revenue growth, gross margin improvement, earnings growth and other anticipated benefits we expected to achieve as a result of the acquisition and our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
In connection with the acquisition of the Gresham manufacturing facility, we entered into a supply contract with LSI, the previous owner of the facility, which is due to expire on May 14, 2012. At the end of 2008, LSI will no longer have any obligation to purchase a minimum commitment under this supply contract, and their purchases may decrease significantly. Thereafter, our ability to generate operating profits in the Gresham manufacturing facility will likely depend upon our successful development of new products that can be produced using the technology of the Gresham manufacturing facility, as well as our ability to transfer existing products to the Gresham manufacturing facility. Failure to successfully develop or integrate new products into the Gresham manufacturing facility or to successfully market those new products could result in a loss of market share in the industry or a lost opportunity to capitalize on emerging markets, and ultimately could have an adverse impact on our business and operating results.
Our gross profit is dependent on a number of factors, including our level of capacity utilization.
Semiconductor manufacturing requires significant capital investment, leading to high fixed costs, including depreciation expense. If we are unable to utilize our manufacturing and testing facilities at a high level, the fixed costs associated with these facilities will not be fully absorbed, resulting in higher average unit costs and lower gross profits. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit was 37.7% for 2007, compared to 38.5% for 2006, and 33.2% for 2005. Gross profit improved in 2006 and 2005 as a result of increased sales volume and/or cost savings from our profitability enhancement programs. The lower gross profit rate in 2007 is attributable to lower manufacturing services revenue in 2007 and a full year of operating expenses. Increased competition and other factors may lead to price erosion, lower revenues and lower margins for us in the future.

The failure to implement, as well as the completion and impact of, our profitability enhancement programs and cost reductions could adversely affect our business.
From time to time, we have implemented various cost reduction initiatives in response to, among other things, significant downturns in our industry. These initiatives have included accelerating our manufacturing moves into lower cost regions, transitioning higher-cost external supply to internal manufacturing, working with our material suppliers to further lower costs, personnel reductions, reductions in employee compensation, temporary shutdowns of facilities with mandatory vacation and aggressively streamlining our overhead. We recorded net restructuring charges of $3.0 million in 2007, ($6.9) million in 2006, and $3.3 million in 2005 to cover costs associated with our cost reduction initiatives over the past three years. These costs were primarily comprised of employee separation costs and asset impairments as well as gains on the sale of assets and insurance recoveries. On January 31, 2008, we announced that we intend to accelerate our stand-alone cost reduction programs including a continued focus on the consolidation of our manufacturing operations. Over the course of the next 12 to 18 months or so, we have identified a total of over $40 million in annualized savings through actions that we have already taken and actions we expect to take. The rate of these savings is expected to increase over that period to greater than $10 million per quarter. However, we cannot assure you that these cost reduction initiatives will be successfully implemented, or will sufficiently help us sustain our profitability. Because our restructuring activities involve changes to many aspects of our business, the cost reductions could adversely impact productivity and sales to an extent we have not anticipated. Even if we fully execute and implement these activities and they generate the anticipated cost savings, there may be other unforeseeable factors that could adversely impact our profitability and business.
If we are unable to implement our business strategy, our revenues and profitability may be adversely affected.
Our future financial performance and success are largely dependent on our ability to implement our business strategy successfully. Our present business strategy to build upon our position as a global supplier of power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components includes, without limitation, plans to: (1) continue to aggressively manage, maintain and refine our product portfolio; (2) continue to develop leading edge customer support services; (3) further expand our just-in-time delivery capabilities; (4) increase our die manufacturing capacity in a cost-effective manner; (5) further reduce the number of our product platforms and process flows; (6) rationalize our manufacturing operations; (7) relocate manufacturing operations or outsource to lower cost regions; (8) reduce selling and administrative expenses; (9) manage capital expenditures to forecasted production demands; (10) actively manage working capital; (11) develop new products in a more efficient manner; and (12) focus on the development of power management and standard analog and high frequency clock and data management products. We cannot assure you that we will successfully implement our business strategy or that implementing our strategy will sustain or improve our results of operations. In particular, we cannot assure you that we will be able to build our position in markets with high growth potential, increase our volume or revenue, rationalize our manufacturing operations or reduce our costs and expenses.
Our business strategy is based on our assumptions about the future demand for our current products and the new products and applications that we are developing and on our ability to produce our products profitably. Each of these factors depends on our ability, among other things, to finance our operating and product development activities, maintain high quality and efficient manufacturing operations, relocate and close manufacturing facilities and reduce operating expenses as part of our ongoing cost restructuring with minimal disruption to our operations, access quality raw materials and contract manufacturing services in a cost-effective and timely manner, protect our intellectual property portfolio and attract and retain highly-skilled technical, managerial, marketing and finance personnel. Several of these and other factors that could affect our ability to implement our business strategy, such as risks associated with international operations, the threat or occurrence of armed international conflict and terrorist activities, increased competition, legal developments and general economic conditions, are beyond our control. In addition, circumstances beyond our control and changes in our business or industry may require us to change our business strategy.

Table of Contents
We may be unable to make the substantial research and development investments required to remain competitive in our business.
The semiconductor industry requires substantial investment in research and development in order to develop and bring to market new and enhanced technologies and products. We are committed to maintaining spending on new product development in order to stay competitive in our markets. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources to maintain the level of investment in research and development that is required to remain competitive.
Uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of, and payment for, our products could adversely affect our business.
Our sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders or customer agreements and we generally do not have long-term supply arrangements with our customers. Generally, our customers may cancel orders 30 days prior to shipment without incurring a significant penalty. We routinely purchase inventory based on customers’ estimates of demand for their products, which is difficult to predict. This difficulty may be compounded when we sell to original equipment manufacturers indirectly through distributors or contract manufacturers, or both, as our forecasts for demand are then based on estimates provided by multiple parties. In addition, our customers may change their inventory practices on short notice for any reason. Furthermore, short customer lead times are standard in the industry due to overcapacity. The cancellation or deferral of product orders, the return of previously sold products or overproduction due to the failure of anticipated orders to materialize could result in excess obsolete inventory, which could result in write-downs of inventory or the incurrence of significant cancellation penalties under our arrangements with our raw materials and equipment suppliers.
An inability to introduce new products could adversely affect us, and changing technologies or consumption patterns could reduce the demand for our products.
Rapidly changing technologies and industry standards, along with frequent new product introductions, characterize the industries that are currently the primary end-users of semiconductors. As these industries evolve and introduce new products, our success will depend on our ability to predict and adapt to these changes in a timely and cost-effective manner by designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing and providing customer support for our own new products and technologies.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify changes in the product markets and requirements of our customers and end-users and adapt to such changes in a timely and cost-effective manner. Nor can we assure you that products or technologies that may be developed in the future by our competitors and others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. A fundamental shift in technologies or consumption patterns in our existing product markets or the product markets of our customers or end-users could have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects.
Competition in our industry could prevent us from maintaining our revenues and from raising prices to offset increases in costs.
The semiconductor industry, particularly the market for semiconductor components, is highly competitive. As a result of the recent economic downturn, competition in the markets in which we operate has intensified, as manufacturers of semiconductor components have offered reduced prices in order to combat production overcapacity and high inventory levels. Although only a few companies compete with us in all of our product lines, we face significant competition within each of our product lines from major international semiconductor companies as well as smaller companies focused on specific market niches. In addition, companies not currently in direct competition with us may introduce competing products in the future.
The semiconductor components industry has also been undergoing significant restructuring and consolidations that could adversely affect our competitiveness. Many of our competitors, particularly larger
24
Table of Contents
competitors resulting from consolidations, may have certain advantages over us, including substantially greater financial and other resources with which to withstand adverse economic or market conditions and pursue development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products; longer independent operating histories and presence in key markets; patent protection; and greater name recognition.
Because our components are often building block semiconductors that, in some cases, are integrated into more complex integrated circuits, we also face competition from manufacturers of integrated circuits, application-specific integrated circuits and fully customized integrated circuits, as well as customers who develop their own integrated circuit products.
We compete in different product lines to various degrees on the basis of price, quality, technical performance, product features, product system compatibility, customized design, strategic relationships with customers, new product innovation, availability, delivery timing and reliability and customer sales and technical support. Gross margins in the industry vary by geographic region depending on local demand for the products in which semiconductors are used, such as personal computers, industrial and telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics and automotive goods. Our ability to compete successfully depends on elements both within and outside of our control, including industry and general economic trends.
Unless we maintain manufacturing efficiency, our future profitability could be adversely affected.
Manufacturing semiconductor components involves highly complex processes that require advanced equipment. We and our competitors continuously modify these processes in an effort to improve yields and product performance. Impurities or other difficulties in the manufacturing process can lower yields. Our manufacturing efficiency will be an important factor in our future profitability, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our manufacturing efficiency or increase manufacturing efficiency to the same extent as our competitors.
From time to time, we have experienced difficulty in beginning production at new facilities, transferring production to other facilities or in effecting transitions to new manufacturing processes that have caused us to suffer delays in product deliveries or reduced yields. We cannot assure you that we will not experience manufacturing problems in achieving acceptable yields or experience product delivery delays in the future as a result of, among other things, capacity constraints, construction delays, transferring production to other facilities, upgrading or expanding existing facilities or changing our process technologies, any of which could result in a loss of future revenues. Our results of operations could also be adversely affected by the increase in fixed costs and operating expenses related to increases in production capacity, if revenues do not increase proportionately.
We could be required to incur significant capital expenditures for manufacturing and information technology and equipment to remain competitive, the failure, inadequacy or delayed implementation of which could harm our ability to effectively operate our business.
Semiconductor manufacturing has historically required, a constant upgrading of process technology to remain competitive, as new and enhanced semiconductor processes are developed which permit smaller, more efficient and more powerful semiconductor devices. We maintain certain of our own manufacturing, assembly and test facilities, which have required and will continue to require significant investments in manufacturing technology and equipment. We have made substantial capital expenditures and installed significant production capacity to support new technologies and increased production volume.
We also may incur significant costs to implement new manufacturing and information technologies to increase our productivity and efficiency. Any such implementation, however, can be negatively impacted by failures or inadequacies of the new manufacturing or information technology and unforeseen delays in its implementation, any of which may require us to spend additional resources to correct these problems or, in some instances, to conclude that the new technology implementation should be abandoned. In the case of abandonment, we may have to recognize losses for amounts previously expended in connection with such implementation that have been capitalized on our balance sheet.
25
Table of Contents
Ultimately, we may be required to increase our future capital expenditures to meet our operational needs in, among other areas, manufacturing, information technology and equipment. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient capital resources to make necessary investments in these or other areas. In addition, our principal credit agreement limits the amount of our capital expenditures which may restrict our ability to make expenditures we feel are necessary to be operationally successful.
If we were to lose one of our large customers our revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.
Product sales to our ten largest customers have traditionally accounted for a significant amount of our business. Many of our customers operate in cyclical industries, and, in the past, we have experienced significant fluctuations from period to period in the volume of our products ordered. Generally, our agreements with our customers impose no minimum or continuing obligations to purchase our products. We cannot assure you that any of our customers will not significantly reduce orders or seek price reductions in the future or that the loss of one or more of our customers would not have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects.
The loss of our sources of raw materials or manufacturing services, or increases in the prices of such goods or services, could adversely affect our operations and productivity.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner or if the costs of our raw materials increase significantly or their quality deteriorates. Our manufacturing processes rely on many raw materials, including polysilicon, silicon wafers, gold, copper lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and various chemicals and gases. Generally, our agreements with suppliers impose no minimum or continuing supply obligations, and we obtain our raw materials and supplies from a large number of sources on a just-in-time basis. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. Although we believe that our current supplies of raw materials are adequate, shortages could occur in various essential materials due to interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry.
In addition, for some of our products, we are dependent upon a limited number of highly specialized suppliers for required components and materials. The number of qualified alternative suppliers for these kinds of technologies is extremely limited. We cannot assure you that we will not lose our suppliers for these key technologies or that our suppliers will be able to meet performance and quality specifications or delivery schedules. Disruption or termination of our limited supply sources for these components and materials could delay our shipments of products utilizing these technologies and damage relationships with current and prospective customers.
We also use third-party contractors for some of our manufacturing activities, primarily for wafer fabrication and the assembly and testing of final goods. Our agreements with these manufacturers typically require us to forecast product needs and commit to purchase services consistent with these forecasts, and in some cases require longer-term commitments in the early stages of the relationship. Our operations could be materially adversely affected if these contractual relationships were disrupted or terminated, the cost of such services increased significantly, the quality of the services provided deteriorated or our forecasts proved to be materially incorrect.
We may continue to make strategic acquisitions of other companies or businesses and these acquisitions introduce significant risks and uncertainties, including risks related to integrating the acquired businesses, incurring additional debt, assuming contingent liabilities or diluting our existing stockholders.
In order to position ourselves to take advantage of growth opportunities, we have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions, mergers and alliances that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Successful acquisitions and alliances in the semiconductor industry are difficult to accomplish because they require, among other things, efficient integration and aligning of product offerings and manufacturing operations and coordination of sales and marketing and research and development efforts. Among other concerns, successful
26
Table of Contents
acquisitions and alliances are subject to the following risks and uncertainties: (1) the difficulty of integrating, aligning and coordinating organization, which will likely be geographically separated and involve separate technologies and corporate cultures; (2) the challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other benefits from acquisitions; (3) the risk that our markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the technologies acquired do not prove to be those needed to be successful in those markets; (4) the potential loss of key employees of the acquired businesses; (5) the risk of diverting the attention of senior management and other key employees from our day-to-day operations and key research and development, marketing or sales efforts; (6) the risks of entering new markets in which we have limited experience; (7) risks associated with integrating financial reporting and internal control systems; (8) difficulties in expanding information technology systems and other business processes to accommodate the acquired businesses; and (9) future impairments of goodwill of an acquired business. In addition, key employees of acquired businesses may receive substantial value in connection with a transaction in the form of change-in-control agreements, acceleration of stock options and the lifting of restrictions on other equity-based compensation rights.
In addition, we may also issue equity securities to pay for future acquisitions or alliances, which could be dilutive to existing stockholders. We may also incur debt or assume contingent liabilities in connection with acquisitions and alliances, which could harm our operating results.
Our international operations subject us to risks inherent in doing business on an international level that could adversely impact our results of operations.
A significant amount of our total revenue is derived from the Asia/Pacific region and Europe (including the Middle East), respectively. We maintain significant operations in Seremban, Malaysia; Carmona, the Philippines; Aizu, Japan; Leshan, China; Roznov, the Czech Republic; and Piestany, the Slovak Republic. In addition, we rely on a number of contract manufacturers whose operations are primarily located in the Asia/Pacific region. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming the risks that relate to or arise from operating in international markets. Risks inherent in doing business on an international level include, among others, the following:
• | economic and political instability (including as a result of the threat or occurrence of armed international conflict or terrorist attacks); |
• | changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs, customs, duties and other trade barriers; |
• | transportation delays; |
• | power supply shortages and shutdowns; |
• | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations and other labor problems; |
• | currency convertibility and repatriation; |
• | taxation of our earnings and the earnings of our personnel; and |
• | other risks relating to the administration of or changes in, or new interpretations of, the laws, regulations and policies of the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. |
Our activities outside the United States are subject to additional risks associated with fluctuating currency values and exchange rates, hard currency shortages and controls on currency exchange. While our sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, worldwide semiconductor pricing is influenced by currency rate fluctuations.
If we fail to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, our results of operations and competitive position could deteriorate.
Our success depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly-skilled technical, managerial, marketing and financial personnel. The market for personnel with such qualifications is highly competitive. For example,
27
Table of Contents
analog component designers are difficult to attract and retain, and the failure to attract and retain analog component designers could compromise our ability to keep pace with our competitors in the market for analog components. We have not entered into employment agreements with all of our key personnel. As employee incentives, we issue common stock options that generally have exercise prices at the market value at time of the grant and that are subject to vesting over time. We have also issued restricted stock units with time-based vesting. Our stock price at times has declined substantially, reducing the effectiveness of these incentives. Loss of the services of, or failure to effectively recruit, qualified personnel, including senior managers and design engineers, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We use a significant amount of intellectual property in our business. Some of that intellectual property is currently subject to disputes with third parties, and litigation could arise in the future. If we are unable to protect the intellectual property we use, our business could be adversely affected.
We rely on patents, trade secrets, trademarks, mask works and copyrights to protect our products and technologies. Some of our products and technologies are not covered by any patents or pending patent applications and we cannot assure you that:
• | any of the substantial number of U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications that we employ in our business, including those that Motorola assigned, licensed or sublicensed to us in connection with our 1999 recapitalization, will not lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, abandoned or licensed to others; |
• | the license rights granted by Motorola in connection with our recapitalization will provide competitive advantages to us; |
• | the license rights granted by ADI in connection with the PTC Business will provide competitive advantage to us; |
• | the license rights granted by LSI in connection with our acquisition of its Gresham, Oregon semiconductor manufacturing facility will provide competitive advantage to us; |
• | any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued or have the coverage originally sought; |
• | any of the trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, know-how or mask works that Motorola has assigned, licensed or sublicensed to us in connection with our recapitalization will not lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, abandoned or licensed to others; or |
• | any of our pending or future trademark, copyright, or mask work applications will be issued or have the coverage originally sought. |
In addition, our competitors or others may develop products or technologies that are similar or superior to our products or technologies, duplicate our products or technologies or design around our protected technologies. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in the United States and in foreign countries.
Also, we may from time to time in the future be notified of claims that we may be infringing third-party patents or other intellectual property rights. If necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses under such patents or intellectual property rights. However, we cannot assure you that we will obtain such licenses or that the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to us. The failure to obtain a license from a third party for technologies we use could cause us to incur substantial liabilities or to suspend the manufacture or shipment of products or our use of processes requiring the technologies. Litigation could cause us to incur significant expense, by adversely affecting sales of the challenged product or technologies and diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor. In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may be required to:
• | pay substantial damages; |
• | cease the manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products; |
• | expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing technologies; |
28
Table of Contents
• | discontinue the use of processes; or |
• | obtain licenses to the infringing technologies. |
We cannot assure you that we would be successful in any such development or acquisition or that any such licenses would be available to us on reasonable terms. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources.
We will also seek to protect our proprietary technologies, including technologies that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors’ rights agreements with our collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that persons or institutions will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of our research.
We may not be able to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights, which may harm our ability to compete and adversely affect our business.
Our ability to enforce our patents, copyrights, software licenses and other intellectual property is subject to general litigation risks, as well as uncertainty as to the enforceability of our intellectual property rights in various countries. When we seek to enforce our rights, we are often subject to claims that the intellectual property right is invalid, is otherwise not enforceable or is licensed to the party against whom we are asserting a claim. In addition, our assertion of intellectual property rights often results in the other party seeking to assert alleged intellectual property rights of its own against us, which may adversely impact our business. An unfavorable ruling in these sorts of matters could include money damages or, in cases for which injunctive relief is sought, an injunction prohibiting us from manufacturing or selling one or more products, which could in turn negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We can provide no assurances as to the outcome of these claims asserted by other parties with respect to their alleged intellectual property rights.
We are subject to litigation risks, including securities class action litigation, which may be costly to defend and the outcome of which is uncertain.
All industries, including the semiconductor industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit, including securities class action litigation that may be particularly costly and which may divert the attention of our management and our resources in general. We are involved in a variety of legal matters, most of which we consider routine matters that arise in the normal course of business. These routine matters typically fall into broad categories such as those involving suppliers and customers, employment and labor, and intellectual property. We believe it is unlikely that the final outcome of these legal claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal claim or proceeding could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
As mentioned above, from time to time, we have been, or may in the future be, involved in securities litigation. We can provide no assurance as to the outcome of any securities litigation matter in which we are party. These types of matters are costly to defend and even if resolved in our favor, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Such litigation could also substantially divert the attention of our management and our resources in general. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of securities litigation could harm our ability to compete in the marketplace. Because the price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile, we can provide no assurance that additional securities litigation will not be filed against us in the future. See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” of this report for more information on our legal proceedings, including our pending securities class action litigation.
In addition to our own litigation matters, on December 27, 2007, a purported stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in Bannock County, Idaho District Court against AMIS, its directors, and two of AMIS’s
29
Table of Contents
largest stockholders alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to AMIS’s stockholders in connection with the proposed merger between AMIS and us. While AMIS believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously, this litigation may have a material adverse effect on the potential merger or on our financial condition if it continues past the consummation of the merger. For additional information regarding this AMIS lawsuit, see the section entitled “The Merger—Litigation Relating to the Merger” in our Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 filed with the SEC on February 8, 2008.
We are exposed to increased costs and risks associated with complying with increasing and new regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Like most publicly-traded companies, we incur significant cost and spend a significant amount of management time and external resources to comply with changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and attestations of the effectiveness of these systems by our management and by our independent registered public accounting firm. We have completed this Section 404 process for fiscal 2007, and have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. However, we have not been able to ascertain the impact that the merger with AMIS will have in the future on our ability to maintain internal control over financial reporting. AMIS reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2007 that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 29, 2007 as a result of a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. See AMIS’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 29, 2007 for more information on this material weakness. We have not assessed the impact that AMIS’s material weakness will have on our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, and will not be able to adequately do so until after the proposed merger is completed. There can be no assurance that the combined company or its independent registered public accounting firm will not identify a material weakness in the combined company’s internal controls in the future. If internal controls over financial reporting are not considered adequate, the combined company may experience a loss of public confidence, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and stock price.
See Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of this report for information on disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.
Environmental and other regulatory matters could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and could require expenditures that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our manufacturing operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations relating to the management, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and the emission and discharge of pollutants into the air, water and ground. Our operations are also subject to laws and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, which, among other things, regulate employee exposure to hazardous substances. Motorola has agreed to indemnify us for environmental and health and safety liabilities related to the conduct or operations of our business or Motorola’s ownership, occupancy or use of real property occurring prior to the closing of our 1999 recapitalization. We also have purchased environmental insurance to cover certain claims related to historical contamination and future releases of hazardous substances. However, we cannot assure you that such indemnification arrangements and insurance policy will cover all material environmental costs. In addition, the nature of our operations exposes us to the continuing risk of environmental and health and safety liabilities related to events or activities occurring after our recapitalization.
Based on information currently available to us, we believe that the future cost of compliance with existing environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, and any liability for currently known environmental conditions, will not have a material adverse effect on our business or prospects. However, we cannot predict:
• | changes in environmental or health and safety laws or regulations; |
30
Table of Contents
• | the manner in which environmental or health and safety laws or regulations will be enforced, administered or interpreted; |
• | our ability to enforce and collect under indemnity agreements and insurance policies relating to environmental liabilities; or |
• | changes in environmental or health and safety laws or regulations; the cost of compliance with future environmental or health and safety laws or regulations or the costs associated with any future environmental claims, including the cost of clean-up of currently unknown environmental conditions. |
Warranty claims, product liability claims and product recalls could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that our products fail to perform as expected or such failure of our products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury or property damage (or both). In addition, if any of our designed products are or are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in their recall. As suppliers become more integrally involved in the electrical design, original equipment manufacturers are increasingly expecting them to warrant their products and are increasingly looking to them for contributions when faced with product liability claims or recalls. A successful warranty or product liability claim against us in excess of our available insurance coverage and established reserves, or a requirement that we participate in a product recall, would have adverse effects (that could be material) on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Our Indebtedness
Our substantial debt could impair our financial condition and adversely affect our ability to operate our business.
We are highly leveraged and have substantial debt service obligations. In addition, we may incur additional debt in the future, subject to certain limitations contained in our debt instruments. The degree to which we are leveraged could have important consequences to our potential and current investors, including:
• | our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired; |
• | a significant portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of interest and principal on our debt, which reduces the funds available to us for our operations; |
• | some of our debt is and will continue to be at variable rates of interest, which may result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in market interest rates; |
• | our debt agreements contain, and any agreements to refinance our debt likely will contain, financial and restrictive covenants, and our failure to comply with them may result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us; |
• | our level of indebtedness will increase our vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse industry conditions; |
• | our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the semiconductor industry; and |
• | our substantial leverage could place us at a competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis our competitors who have less leverage relative to their overall capital structures. |

Table of Contents
We may incur more debt and may require additional capital in the future to service this new debt, which could exacerbate the risks described above.
We (and our subsidiaries) may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The agreements relating to our outstanding indebtedness currently restrict us from incurring additional indebtedness, but do not fully prohibit our subsidiaries from doing so. While we expect to have sufficient cash and cash equivalents for the next 12 months, if we incur additional debt, the related risks that we now face could intensify and it is possible that we may need to raise additional capital to service this new debt and to fund our future activities. Moreover, some of the debt we may incur may be secured by the same collateral securing certain of our existing indebtedness. Ultimately, we may not be able to obtain additional funding on favorable terms, or at all, and we may need to curtail our operations significantly, reduce planned capital expenditures and research and development, or be forced to obtain funds through arrangements that management did not anticipate, including disposing of our assets and relinquishing rights to certain technologies or other activities that may impair our ability to remain competitive.
In addition, if the proposed merger with AMIS is completed, we will be required to repay or refinance all of AMIS’s outstanding debt concurrent with completion of the merger. As of September 29, 2007, the aggregate principal amount of AMIS’s outstanding debt was approximately $277.5 million. We expect to refinance all or a portion of AMIS’s outstanding debt with a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from one or multiple financing transactions, including pursuant to the accordion feature of our existing senior bank credit facility, factoring arrangements, sale/leaseback transactions and additional debt financing, which we are currently exploring but for which we do not have contractual commitments. Although the total dollar amount of this refinancing could be significant, we do not believe that it will impair the ability of our combined businesses to maintain sufficient working capital. We believe that we will be able to successfully complete the repayment or refinancing of AMIS’s outstanding debt, although due to prevailing market conditions, such financing may not be available on terms favorable to us.
The agreements relating to our indebtedness may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take some actions.
Our debt agreements contain, and any future debt agreements may include, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on, among other things, our ability to:
• | incur additional debt, including guarantees; |
• | incur liens; |
• | sell or otherwise dispose of assets; |
• | make investments, loans or advances; |
• | make some acquisitions; |
• | engage in mergers or consolidations; |
• | make capital expenditures; |
• | pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments; |
• | pay dividends from Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC to ON Semiconductor Corporation; |
• | engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions; |
• | enter into new lines of business; |
• | issue some types of preferred stock; and |
• | enter into transactions with our affiliates. |
Any future debt could contain financial and other covenants more restrictive than those that are currently applicable.
32
Table of Contents
Our failure to comply with the agreements relating to our outstanding indebtedness, including as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default that could materially and adversely affect our operating results and our financial condition.
If there were an event of default under any of the agreements relating to our outstanding indebtedness the holders of the defaulted debt could cause all amounts outstanding with respect to that debt to be due and payable immediately. We cannot assure you that our assets or cash flow would be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under our outstanding debt instruments, either upon maturity or if accelerated upon an event of default or, if we were required to repurchase any of our debt securities upon a change of control, that we would be able to refinance or restructure the payments on those debt securities. Further, if we are unable to repay, refinance or restructure our indebtedness under our secured debt, the holders of such debt could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, any event of default or declaration of acceleration under one debt instrument could also result in an event of default under one or more of our other debt instruments.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations.
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations will depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, many of which are outside of our control. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and proceeds from sales of assets in the ordinary course of business to satisfy our debt obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling additional assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. The terms of our financing agreements contain limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness. We cannot assure you that any refinancing would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales, or that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or would be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as on our ability to satisfy our debt obligations.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Our Common Stock
Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline.
Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot reliably predict future revenues and profitability, and unexpected changes may cause us to adjust our operations. A large portion of our costs are fixed, due in part to our significant sales, research and development and manufacturing costs. Thus, small declines in revenues could negatively affect our operating results in any given quarter. Factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include:
• | the timing and size of orders from our customers, including cancellations and reschedulings; |
• | the timing of introduction of new products; |
• | the gain or loss of significant customers, including as a result of industry consolidation; |
• | seasonality in some of our target markets; |
• | changes in the mix of products we sell; |
• | changes in demand by the end-users of our customers’ products; |
• | market acceptance of our current and future products; |
• | variability of our customers’ product life cycles; |
• | changes in manufacturing yields or other factors affecting the cost of goods sold, such as the cost and availability of raw materials and the extent of utilization of manufacturing capacity; |
33
Table of Contents
• | changes in the prices of our products, which can be affected by the level of our customers’ and end-users’ demand, technological change, product obsolescence, competition or other factors; |
• | cancellations, changes or delays of deliveries to us by our third-party manufacturers, including as a result of the availability of manufacturing capacity and the proposed terms of manufacturing arrangements; |
• | our liquidity and access to capital; and |
• | our research and development activities and the funding thereof. |
Our stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors in our securities.
The stock markets in general, and the markets for high technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Further, if the merger with AMIS fails to be completed our stock price may also be adversely affected. See “Failure to complete the merger could adversely affect our stock prices and our future business and financial results” risk factor above.
The market price of the common stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
• | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
• | changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance; |
• | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
• | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, new products or product enhancements; |
• | loss of a major customer or failure to complete significant transactions; and |
• | additions or departures of key personnel. |
The trading price of our common stock since our initial public offering has had a significant variance and we can not accurately predict every potential risk that may materially and adversely affect our stock price.
Provisions in our charter documents may delay or prevent the acquisition of our company, which could decrease the value of our stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make it harder for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions:
• | create a board of directors with staggered terms; |
• | permit only our board of directors or the chairman of our board of directors to call special meetings of stockholders; |
• | establish advance notice requirements for submitting nominations for election to the board of directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at a meeting; |
• | prohibit stockholder action by written consent; |
• | authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock, which is preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede a takeover attempt and that our board of directors can create and issue without prior stockholder approval; and |
• | require the approval by holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding common stock to amend any of these provisions in our certificate of incorporation or bylaws. |
34
Table of Contents
Although we believe these provisions make a higher third-party bid more likely by requiring potential acquirors to negotiate with our board of directors, these provisions apply even if an initial offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
To our knowledge, we have no unresolved staff comments which would require disclosure under this item.
In the United States, our corporate headquarters as well as manufacturing, design center, and research and development operations are located in approximately 1.45 million square feet of building space on property that we own in Phoenix, Arizona. We also lease properties around the world for use as sales offices, design centers, research and development labs, warehouses, logistic centers and trading offices. The size and/or location of these properties change from time to time based on business requirements. We operate distribution centers, which are leased or contracted through a third party, in locations throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas. We own our manufacturing facilities in the United States, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. These facilities are primarily manufacturing operations, but also include office, utility, laboratory, warehouse and unused space. Our joint venture in Leshan, China also owns manufacturing, warehouse, laboratory, office and unused space.
In December 2003, we announced our decision to phase out manufacturing operations at our facility in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. We completed this closure during the fourth quarter of 2005. We transferred the production from this facility to our lower cost manufacturing facilities. We completed the sale of the manufacturing facility in the fourth quarter of 2006. We still own and occupy an approximately 58,000 square foot design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
In the second quarter of 2006, we purchased an approximately 500,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Gresham, Oregon. This site is 83 acres and includes 98,000 square feet of clean room.
As part of our 1999 recapitalization, Motorola conveyed to us the surface rights to a portion of the land located at our Phoenix facility, excluding the subsurface rights, and conveyed buildings located at the Phoenix facility. These buildings do not include any treatment facilities relating to Motorola’s environmental clean-up operations at the Phoenix facility. We executed a declaration of covenants, easements and restrictions with Motorola providing access easements for the parties and granting to us options to purchase or to lease the subsurface rights of the land. In 2005, we announced plans to sell unused portions of the Phoenix, Arizona location. In October 2006, we sold a portion of the Phoenix, Arizona site that included an unused warehouse and unused parking lot. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell the wafer fabrication facility and associated land at our Phoenix site. The sale is scheduled to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2008. During the second quarter of 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell three parcels of land at our Phoenix site totaling approximately 22 acres. These sales are expected to be finalized by the end of 2008. Additionally, one of our unused buildings at our Phoenix site is currently being marketed for sale. The remainder of the Phoenix site will continue as our corporate headquarters as well as manufacturing, design center and research and development facility.
We believe that our facilities around the world, whether owned or leased, are well maintained. We believe that we have sufficient access to productive capacity to meet our needs for the majority of the products in our business lines for the foreseeable future.
We have pledged substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and similar assets of each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries (but no more than 65% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries held by them) to secure our senior bank facilities.
See Part I, Item 1 “Manufacturing Operations” included elsewhere in this report for further details on our properties.

We currently are involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the matters described or referred to in the next paragraphs, will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Securities Class Action Litigation
During the period July 5, 2001 through July 27, 2001, we were named as a defendant in three shareholder class action lawsuits that were filed in federal court in New York City against us and certain of our former officers, current and former directors and the underwriters for our initial public offering. The lawsuits allege violations of the federal securities laws and have been docketed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as: Abrams v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No 01-CV-6114; Breuer v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6287; and Cohen v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6942 (“District Court”). On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a single consolidated amended complaint that supersedes the individual complaints originally filed. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the underwriters of our initial public offering improperly required their customers to pay the underwriters’ excessive commissions and to agree to buy additional shares of our common stock in the aftermarket as conditions of receiving shares in our initial public offering. The amended complaint further alleges that these supposed practices of the underwriters should have been disclosed in our initial public offering prospectus and registration statement. The amended complaint alleges violations of both the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and seeks unspecified damages. We understand that various other plaintiffs have filed substantially similar class action cases against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies and their public offering underwriters in New York City, which have all been transferred, along with the case against us, to a single federal district court judge for purposes of coordinated case management. We believe that the claims against us are without merit and have defended, and intend to continue to defend, the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, however, and we cannot guarantee that the outcome of these claims will be favorable for us.
On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, we filed a collective motion to dismiss the consolidated, amended complaints against the issuers on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants. The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss the claims against them. In addition, the parties have stipulated to the voluntary dismissal without prejudice of our individual former officers and current and former directors who were named as defendants in our litigation, and they are no longer parties to the litigation. On February 19, 2003, the District Court issued its ruling on the motions to dismiss filed by the underwriter and issuer defendants. In that ruling the District Court granted in part and denied in part those motions. As to the claims brought against us under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws, the District Court dismissed all of these claims with prejudice, and refused to allow plaintiffs the opportunity to re-plead these claims. As to the claims brought under the registration provisions of the securities laws, which do not require that intent to defraud be pleaded, the District Court denied the motion to dismiss these claims as to us and as to substantially all of the other issuer defendants as well. The District Court also denied the underwriter defendants’ motion to dismiss in all respects.
In June 2003, upon the determination of a special independent committee of our Board of Directors, we elected to participate in a proposed settlement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. Had it been approved by the District Court, this proposed settlement would have resulted in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against us and against any of the other issuer defendants who elected to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. This proposed settlement was conditioned on, among other things, a ruling by the District Court that the claims against us and against the other issuers who had agreed to the settlement would
36
Table of Contents
be certified for class action treatment for purposes of the proposed settlement, such that all investors included in the proposed classes in these cases would be bound by the terms of the settlement unless an investor opted to be excluded from the settlement in a timely and appropriate fashion.
On December 5, 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (“Court of Appeals”) issued a decision inIn re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation that six purported class action lawsuits containing allegations substantially similar to those asserted against us could not be certified as class actions due, in part, to the Court of Appeals’ determination that individual issues of reliance and knowledge would predominate over issues common to the proposed classes. On January 8, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a petition seeking rehearing en banc of this ruling. On April 6, 2007the Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing of the Court of Appeals’ December 5, 2006 ruling. The Court of Appeals, however, noted that the plaintiffs remained free to ask the District Court to certify classes different from the ones originally proposed which might meet the standards for class certification that the Court of Appeals articulated in its December 5, 2006 decision. The plaintiffs have since moved for certification of different classes in the District Court.
In light of the Court of Appeals’ December 5, 2006 decision regarding certification of the plaintiffs’ claims, the District Court entered an order on June 25, 2007 terminating the proposed settlement between the plaintiffs and the issuers, including us. Because any possible future settlement with the plaintiffs, if a settlement were ever to be negotiated and ultimately agreed to, would involve the certification of a class action for settlement purposes, the impact of the Court of Appeals’ rulings on the possible future settlement of the claims against us cannot now be predicted.
On October 1, 2007, the plaintiffs submitted their briefing in support of their motions to certify different classes in the six focus cases. The issuer defendants and the underwriter defendants filed separate oppositions to those motions on December 21, 2007. The motions to certify classes in the six focus cases are not yet fully briefed and remain pending. In addition, on August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. On November 13, 2007, the issuer defendants moved to dismiss the claims against them in the amended complaints in the six focus cases. The underwriter defendants have also moved to dismiss the claims against them in the amended complaints in the six focus cases. Those motions to dismiss are not yet fully briefed and remain pending.
Now that the proposed settlement has been terminated, we intend to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. While we can make no promises or guarantees as to the outcome of these proceedings, we believe that the final result of this action will have no material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of February 4, 2008, there were approximately 216 holders of record of our common stock and 292,687,576 shares of common stock outstanding.
We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our initial public offering, and we do not presently intend to do so. Our future dividend policy with respect to our common stock will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, debt restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Our senior bank facilities restrict our ability to pay cash dividends to our common stockholders.
Equity Compensation Plan Table
Information concerning equity compensation plans is included in Part III, Item 12. “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters,” found elsewhere in this report.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We have ongoing authorization from our Board of Directors, subject to market and financial conditions, to repurchase up to a total of 50 million shares of the company’s outstanding common stock under its Share Repurchase Program, adopted on November 27, 2006. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program, on December 12, 2006, we announced that we had repurchased 30,666,667 shares of our common stock for $230,000,000 in privately-negotiated transactions with proceeds from our issuance of our 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2026. In addition, pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program, on December 27, 2006, we announced that we had agreed to repurchase 9,749,303 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $7.18 per share for a total purchase price of $69,999,996 from TPG, our principal stockholder, with cash on hand. This per share purchase price represented a discount of approximately 3% from the closing price of our common stock on December 26, 2006. The repurchase from TPG was completed on December 29, 2006. We used cash on hand to repurchase 5,000,000 shares of our common stock during the second quarter of 2007, at a price of $11.05 per share.

The $1.3 million loss on debt prepayment in 2006 was due to the prepayment of $374.1 million on our senior bank facilities prior to maturity. In 2004, this charge included $114.0 million in redemption premiums, consent fees, incentive fees, dealer manager fees and certain third party costs and $45.7 million in capitalized closing costs and unamortized debt discounts that were written off associated with our various refinancing activities. In 2003, the charge represents the write-off of capitalized debt issuance costs and certain third party expenses in connection with the prepayment of a portion of our senior bank facilities. |
(3) | During the second quarter of 2003, we changed our method of accounting for net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses relating to our defined benefit pension obligations. Historically, we amortized our net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses over the average remaining service lives of active plan participants, to the extent that such net gains or losses exceeded the greater of 10% of the related projected benefit obligation or plan assets. Effective January 1, 2003, we no longer defer actuarial gains or losses and will recognize such gains and losses during the fourth quarter of each year, which is the period in which our annual pension plan actuarial valuations are prepared. |

In 2005, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 47 “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“Statement 143”) refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The impact of the adoption of FIN 47 to our financial condition and results of operations was a charge of $2.9 million, net of an income tax benefit of $0.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2005.
(4) | Diluted net income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 are calculated by deducting: dividends on our redeemable preferred stock of $9.2 million, $9.9 million, $9.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively; the accretion of the increase in redemption value of our redeemable preferred stock of $(1.0) million in 2005, $1.5 million in 2004 and $0.5 million in 2003; the dividend from inducement shares issued upon conversion of convertible redeemable preferred stock of $20.4 million in 2005; the allocation of undistributed earnings to preferred shareholders of $9.7 million in 2005; and the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature on redeemable preferred stock of $13.1 million in 2001 from net income (loss) for such periods and then dividing the resulting amounts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and conversion of preferred stock to the extent they are not anti-dilutive) during such periods. On November 10, 2005, we entered into a Conversion and Termination Agreement with an affiliate of TPG to convert its preferred stock into approximately 49.4 million shares of our common stock. To induce the conversion, we issued approximately 3.9 million additional shares of our common stock to such affiliate of TPG. Following the conversion, none of the authorized shares of preferred stock remained outstanding. |
(5) | The redeemable preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was issued to an affiliate of TPG in September 2001. As described above, on November 10, 2005, we entered into a Conversion and Termination Agreement with TPG to convert the preferred stock into shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no shares of redeemable preferred stock outstanding. |
(6) | In 2006, we adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, which requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, our results of operations include $16.5 million and $10.2 million of stock compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. |

Industry Overview
Worldwide semiconductor industry sales were $255.6 billion in 2007, an increase of 3.2% from $247.7 billion in 2006. We participate in unit and revenue surveys and use data summarized by WSTS to evaluate overall semiconductor market trends and also to track our progress against the total market in the areas we provide semiconductor components. The following table sets forth total worldwide semiconductor industry revenues and revenues in our total addressable market since 2003:

(1) | Based on shipment information published by WSTS, an industry research firm. WSTS collects this information based on product shipments, which is different from our revenue recognition policy as described in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Revenue Recognition” contained elsewhere in this report. We believe the data provided by WSTS is reliable, but we have not independently verified it. WSTS periodically revises its information. We assume no obligation to update such information. |
(2) | Our total addressable market comprises the following specific WSTS product categories: (a) discrete products (all discrete semiconductors other than sensors, RF and microwave power transistors/modules, RF and microwave diodes, RF and microwave SS transistors, power FET modules, IGBT modules and optoelectronics); (b) standard analog products (amplifiers, voltage regulators and references, comparators, ASSP consumer, ASSP computer, ASSP automotive and ASSP industrial and others); and (c) standard logic products (general purpose logic and MOS general purpose logic only). Although we categorize our products as power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components, WSTS uses different product categories. |
Following the unprecedented semiconductor industry revenue declines of 2001, the semiconductor industry began to show signs of stability in 2002 and grew more robust in both 2003 and 2004. Worldwide semiconductor industry sales grew by 6.8% in 2005, 8.9% in 2006, and 3.2% in 2007. Sales in our total addressable market grew by 14.2% in 2004 and 14.4% in 2003, reflecting increases in volume and slowing rates of price declines. Sales in our total addressable market remained stable in 2005, reflecting increases in volume that were offset by price declines. Sales in our total addressable market grew in 2006, reflecting increases in volume that exceeded the impact of further price declines. Sales in our total addressable market grew in 2007, reflecting increases in volume that exceeded the impact further declines. The most recently published estimates of WSTS project a compound annual growth rate in our total addressable market of approximately 6.6% during 2008 through 2010. These are projections and may not be indicative of actual results.
Recent Results
Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $1,566.2 million, an increase of 2.2 percent from $1,531.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. During 2007, we reported net income of $242.2 million that included a restructuring, asset impairment and other charges of $3.0 million. During 2006, we reported net income of $272.1 million that included $6.9 million in restructuring, asset impairments and other benefits. Our gross margin decreased by approximately 80 basis points to 37.7% in 2007 from 38.5% in 2006. The primary reason for the decrease is attributable to the lower gross margin associated with manufacturing services revenue in 2007 versus 2006.

Outlook
Based upon booking trends, backlog levels, anticipated manufacturing services revenue and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total revenues will be down approximately 3% to 7% in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to total revenues of $407.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Backlog levels at the beginning of the first quarter of 2008 were down from backlog levels at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2007 and represent over 90% of our anticipated first quarter 2008 revenues. We expect that average selling prices for the first quarter of 2008 will be down approximately one percent sequentially. We expect our total gross margin in the first quarter of 2008 to be approximately 35.5% to 36.5% and our product gross margin to be approximately 37.5% to 38.5%. We expect the purchase accounting rules associated with our recent acquisition of the CPU Voltage and PC Thermal Products Group from Analog Devices, Inc. will negatively impact our total gross margins by approximately 50 basis points in the first quarter of 2008. This impact is already included in our gross margin guidance. We currently expect our stock-based compensation expense to be approximately $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2008 and amortization of intangibles associated with the CPU Voltage and Thermal Products Group to be approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2008.
For the first quarter of 2008, we expect selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses at approximately 12% of revenues and research and development expenses at approximately 10% of revenues. We anticipate that net interest expense and income tax provision will be approximately $7.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2008. We anticipate cash capital expenditures will be approximately $30.0 million in the first quarter of 2008 and total cash capital expenditures of approximately $100.0 million to $110.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Business Overview
We classify our products broadly as power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components. We design, manufacture and market an extensive portfolio of semiconductor components that addresses the design needs of sophisticated electronic systems and products. Our power management semiconductor components control, convert, protect and monitor the supply of power to the different elements within a wide variety of electronic devices. Our data management semiconductor components provide high-performance clock management and data flow management for precision computing and communications systems. Our standard semiconductor components serve as “building block” components within virtually all electronic devices. These various products fall into the logic, analog and discrete categories used by WSTS.
Historically, the semiconductor industry has been highly cyclical. During a down cycle, unit demand and pricing have tended to fall in tandem, resulting in revenue declines. In response to such declines, manufacturers have shut down production capacity. When new applications or other factors have eventually caused demand to strengthen, production volumes have eventually stabilized and then grown again. As market unit demand have reached levels above capacity production capabilities, shortages have begun to occur, which typically has caused pricing power to swing back from customers to manufacturers, thus prompting further capacity expansion. Such expansion has typically resulted in overcapacity following a decrease in demand, which has triggered another similar cycle.
During 2007 we experienced an increase in the end market demand, mostly offset by price decreases, which resulted in slightly increased revenue compared to the previous year. We expect price declines during 2008 to be moderate and we will continue to monitor the supply and demand picture to determine if pricing could be held or increased.
New Product Innovation
As a result of the success of our research and development initiatives, excluding the introduction of lead-free products, we introduced 171 new product families in 2007 and 158 new product families in 2006. Our new product development efforts continue to be focused on building solutions in power management that appeal to

customers in focused market segments and across multiple high growth applications. In light of the recent acquisition of the Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility, we are increasing our research and development in deep sub micron power management solutions to further differentiate us from our competition. As always, it is our practice to regularly re-evaluate our research and development spending, to assess the deployment of resources and to review the funding of high growth technologies regularly. We deploy people and capital with the goal of maximizing our investment in research and development in order to position us for continued growth. As a result, we often invest opportunistically to refresh existing products in our commodity logic, analog, and discrete products. We invest in these initiatives when we believe there is a strong customer demand or opportunities to innovate our current portfolio in high growth markets and applications.
Cost Savings and Restructuring Activities
We continue to implement profitability enhancement programs to improve our cost structure and, as a result, we expect to rank, as compared to our primary competitors, among the lowest in terms of cost structure. During the first quarter of 2007, we announced plans to consolidate manufacturing efforts with the closing of one of our manufacturing facilities at our Phoenix, Arizona location. The wafer manufacturing that takes place at this facility is being transferred to our off-shore low-cost manufacturing facilities, and we expect this transfer to be completed during the last two fiscal quarters of 2008. After we have completed the transfer to other facilities, we plan to exit the manufacturing facility at our Phoenix location, which is currently under agreement to be sold. It is anticipated that approximately 80 employees will be terminated as a result of this consolidation effort, in addition to approximately 30 positions that will be eliminated through normal attrition. We expect the full annual cost savings from this consolidation to be at least $7.0 million to $9.0 million beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Also in connection with this activity, during the third quarter of 2007 we announced reductions in factory support functions at our Phoenix, Arizona and Gresham, Oregon locations which resulted in the elimination or transfer of 62 positions. We expect the full annual cost savings from this announcement to be approximately $5.9 million beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Although we have production at several locations, we have initiated process improvements and selective capital acquisitions that we expect will increase our overall capacity. Our profitability enhancement programs will continue to focus on:
• | consolidating manufacturing sites to improve economies of scale; |
• | transferring production to lower cost regions; |
• | increasing die manufacturing capacity in a cost-effective manner by moving production from 4” to 6” and 8” wafers and increasing the number of die per square inch; |
• | reducing the number of product platforms and process flows; and |
• | focusing production on profitable product families. |
Debt Reduction and Financing Activities
Since the Recapitalization, we have had relatively high levels of long-term debt as compared to our principal competitors. During 2002 and 2003, we engaged in several debt refinancing transactions, which extended a portion of our debt maturities. Since 2003, however, we began undertaking measures to reduce our long-term debt and related interest costs. As a result of these measures, we reduced our total debt from $1,302.9 million as of December 31, 2003 to $1,159.4 million as of December 31, 2007. Similarly, we have reduced our annual interest expense from $151.1 million in 2003 to $38.8 million in 2007. Also, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 9 “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Revenues
Net Revenues were $1,566.2 million, $1,531.8 million and $1,260.6 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase from 2006 to 2007 was due to increased product volume, partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices of approximately 6.0%. The increase from 2005 to 2006 was primarily due to increased product volume and manufacturing services revenue resulting from the acquisition of LSI’s Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility, partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices of approximately 5%. The revenues by reportable segment in each of these three years were as follows (dollars in millions):

(1) | Segment revenues from external customers for the year ended December 31, 2006 have been recast to reflect the alignment that existed at December 31, 2007, for comparability purposes. Specifically, certain product families previously incorrectly aligned under the Standard Products Group have been realigned under the Digital and Consumer Products Group. |
Revenues from automotive and power regulation increased from 2006 to 2007 and from 2005 to 2006. In 2007, this increase can be attributed to an increase in revenues from AC to DC conversion, rectifier, analog automotive, auto power, and DC to DC conversion products, partially offset by a decrease in LDO and voltage regulator products. In 2006, the increase can be attributed to an increase in revenues from LDO and voltage regulator, rectifier, AC to DC conversion, and DC to DC conversion products, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from analog automotive products.
Revenues from computing products increased from 2006 to 2007 and from 2005 to 2006. The increase from 2006 to 2007 can be attributed to increased revenues from low and medium voltage MOSFET and power switching products, partially offset by decreases in signal and interface products. The increase from 2005 to 2006 is primarily due to increases in revenues from low and medium voltage MOSFET, signal and interface, and power switching products.
Revenues from digital and consumer products increased from 2006 to 2007 and from 2005 to 2006. The increase from 2006 to 2007 can be attributed to increased revenues from filter, low voltage and application specific integrated products. The increase from 2005 to 2006 is primarily due to increased revenues from analog switch, filter, and low voltage products, partially offset by decreased revenues from application specific integrated products.
Revenues from standard products decreased from 2006 to 2007 and increased from 2005 to 2006. This segment consists of many products that are available from numerous competitors in the marketplace and is thus heavily influenced by pricing pressures and general market conditions. The decrease in revenues from 2006 to 2007 is primarily attributed to decreases in revenues from standard logic, high frequency, thyristor, bipolar power, and zener products, partially offset by increases in small signal and protection products. The increase in revenues from 2005 to 2006 is largely attributed to increases in standard logic product revenues, protection products and zener products.

Additionally, manufacturing services revenue decreased from 2006 to 2007 due to lower volume purchases by LSI. In 2005 to 2006, revenue growth in manufacturing services is due to the manufacturing services revenue from the wafer supply agreement with LSI that began in May 2006 related to our purchase of LSI’s Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility.
Revenues by geographic area as a percentage of revenues were as follows:
Year Ended December 31, 2007 | Year Ended December 31, 2006 | Year Ended December 31, 2005 | |||||||
Americas | 23.8 | % | 25.9 | % | 23.7 | % | |||
Asia/Pacfic | 61.6 | % | 59.1 | % | 59.9 | % | |||

Total | 100.0 | % | 100.0 | % | 100.0 | % | |||
A majority of our end customers, served directly or through distribution channels, are manufacturers of electronic devices. In recent years, there has been a trend toward moving such manufacturing activities to lower cost regions, particularly in Asia. Our shift in revenues by geographic area reflects this trend.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, two of our customers accounted for 11% and 8% of our net revenues, respectively, excluding manufacturing revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2006, two of our customers accounted for 11% and 9% of our net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2005, two of our customers accounted for 13% and 10% of our net revenues.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was $590.5 million, $589.0 million, and $418.5 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, our gross profit was 37.7%, 38.5%, and 33.2% in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Gross profit increased during 2007 as compared to 2006, primarily due to cost reductions from our profitability enhancement programs and increased sales volume, partially off set by decreases in average sales Gross profit increased during 2006 as compared to 2005, primarily due to increased sales volume, increased manufacturing service revenue from our Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication and a reduction in depreciation expense of approximately $20.2 million resulting from a change in our estimate of the useful life of our machinery and equipment assets, partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices. See Note 5 “Accounting Changes” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The gross profit by reportable segment in each of these two years were as follows (dollars in millions):

Gross profit from automotive and power regulation decreased from 2006 to 2007. The decrease can be attributed to decreased gross profit from rectifier, and LDO and voltage regulator products, partially offset by increases from AC to DC conversion, analog automotive, and DC to DC conversion products. Gross profit from automotive and power regulation increased from 2005 to 2006. The increase can be attributed to increases in gross profit from LDO and voltage regulator, rectifier, AC-DC conversion, Analog Automotive, and DC-DC conversion products.
Gross profit from computing products increased from 2006 to 2007. The increase can be attributed to increased gross profit from low and medium voltage MOSFET products, partially offset by decreases from power switching products. Gross profit from computing products increased from 2005 to 2006. The increase can be attributed to increases in gross profit from low and medium voltage MOSFET, power switching, and signal and interface products.
Gross profit from digital and consumer products increased from 2006 to 2007. The increase can be attributed to increased gross profit from analog switch, filter, low voltage and application specific integrated products. Gross profit from digital and consumer products increased from 2005 to 2006. The increase can be attributed to increases in gross profit from analog switch, filter, and low voltage products, partially offset by decreases in application specific power products.
Gross profit from standard products remained relatively flat from 2006 to 2007. Increases in protection products, small signal and zener products were offset by decreases in standard logic, high frequency, thyristor and bipolar power products. Gross profit from standard products increased from 2005 to 2006. The increase can be attributed to increases in gross profit from protection, zener, small signal, standard logic, and thyristor products, partially offset by decreases in high frequency products.
Gross profit from manufacturing services decreased from 2006 to 2007 due to the decrease in volume of wafers sold to LSI. Gross profit from manufacturing services increased due to the added value from the purchase of LSI’s Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility in 2006.
Certain costs incurred during the manufacturing process are not allocated to the reportable segments. The decrease in unallocated manufacturing costs from $31.2 million in 2006 to $20.9 million in 2007 was due primarily to lower underutilized factory costs. The decrease in unallocated manufacturing costs from $51.8 million in 2005 to $31.2 million in 2006 was due primarily to manufacturing costs we continued to incur at the East Greenwich, Rhode Island manufacturing facility in 2005 beyond the original anticipated closure date of that facility, which were not allocated to the reportable segments. Similar costs were not incurred during 2006 due to the completion of the closure in 2005.
Operating Expenses
Research and development expenses were $133.0 million, $101.2 million and $93.7 million, representing 8.5%, 6.6% and 7.4% of revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to increased employee salaries and wages and increased headcount, and the costs to develop new products in our Gresham wafer fabrication facility and the expansion of our digital production capabilities in our Gresham wafer fabrication facility, partially offset by decreases in employee performance bonuses. The increase from 2005 to 2006 was primarily attributed to increased employee salaries and wages, stock compensation expense, and employee performance bonuses as a result of our achievement of certain financial goals, partially offset by decreases in depreciation.

Table of Contents
Selling and marketing expenses were $94.6 million, $91.0 million and $79.3 million, representing 6.0%, 5.9% and 6.3% of revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributed to increased employee salaries and wages and increased stock compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease in employee performance bonuses. The increase from 2005 to 2006 was primarily attributed to increases in employee performance bonuses as a result of our achievement of certain financial goals, increased employee salaries and wages, increased head count, which include management and field application engineers, and stock compensation expense.
General and administrative expenses were $82.7 million, $86.7 million and $74.6 million representing 5.3%, 5.7% and 5.9% of revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease from 2006 to 2007 was attributable to decreases in employee performance bonus partially offset by increased salaries and wages from higher headcount and legal fees for royalty disputes. The increase from 2005 to 2006 was attributable to increases in stock compensation expense, employee performance bonuses as a result of our achievement of certain financial goals, increase in salaries and wages associated with higher head count and legal expenses.
Other Operating Expenses — Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other
Restructuring, asset impairments and other charges were $3.0 million, ($6.9) million and $3.3 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Other unallocated operating expenses increased from $6.7 million in 2006 to $25.3 million in 2007 primarily due to increased costs to develop new products in our Gresham wafer fabrication facility that impact all reportable segments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $38.8 million, $51.8 million and $61.5 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in interest expense from 2006 to 2007 was primarily a result of interest savings that resulted from the issuance of our 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2026 in December 2006 with a large portion ($199.0 million) used to reduce our senior bank facilities. The decrease in interest expense from 2005 to 2006 was primarily a result of interest savings that resulted from the repayment of our 10% junior subordinated note in the second half of 2005, which was partially financed with the proceeds from the issuance of the 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025. Our weighted-average interest rate on long-term debt (including current maturities) was 3.4%, 4.9% and 5.4% per annum in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Key Financing Events” for a description of our refinancing activities.

Table of Contents
Loss on Debt Prepayment
Loss on debt prepayment totaled $0.1 million and $1.3 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the first quarter of 2007, we incurred a loss on debt prepayment of $0.1 million resulting from the prepayment of $23.9 million of our senior bank facilities. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we used proceeds from the $484.0 million convertible notes and cash on hand to prepay a portion of our senior bank facilities. Accordingly, the $1.3 million loss on debt prepayment resulted from the write off of a portion of debt issuance costs associated with the senior bank facilities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Key Financing Events” for a description of our refinancing activities.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $7.7 million, $0.9 million and $1.5 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The 2007 provision included $9.9 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign operations and $5.1 million of new reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by the reversal of $7.3 million of previously accrued income taxes for anticipated audit issues.
The 2006 provision included $6.4 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign operations and $1.9 million of new reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by the reversal of $7.4 million of previously accrued income taxes for anticipated audit issues.
The 2005 provision included $6.1 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign operations and $7.6 million of new reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by the reversal of $9.5 million of previously accrued income taxes for anticipated audit issues and the reversal of a $2.7 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for one of our Japanese subsidiaries that returned to profitability.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
Cumulative effect of accounting change, net of income taxes was $2.9 million in 2005.
In 2005, we recorded a $2.9 million charge, net of taxes of $0.3 million, upon adoption of FIN 47 “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”), which requires recognition of liabilities for legal obligations to perform asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. See “Accounting Changes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of FIN 47.

Our long-term debt includes $173.7 million under senior bank facilities, $260.0 million of zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024, $95.0 million under our 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025, $484.0 million under our 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2026, $9.6 million under a note payable to a Japanese bank, $48.9 million under loan facilities with Chinese banks, $25.0 million under a note payable to Philippine banks, $0.5 million under a note payable to the State of Oregon, and $62.7 million of capital lease obligations. See Note 9 “Long-Term Debt” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
In the normal course of our business, we enter into various operating leases for equipment including our mainframe computer system, desktop computers, communications, foundry equipment and service agreements relating to this equipment.
Our other long-term contractual obligations consist of estimated payments to fund liabilities that have been accrued in our consolidated balance sheet for our foreign pension plans. (See Note 14, “Employee Benefit Plans” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.) The U.S. pension plan, named the ON Semiconductor Grandfathered Pension Plan (“Grandfathered Plan”), has been terminated effective December 31, 2004 as approved by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in 2005 and such termination was determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to adversely affect its qualification for federal

tax purposes. In connection with the termination of our Grandfathered Plan, all cash funding requirements for the liability have been settled and the related plan assets have been distributed as of December 31, 2005. The remaining obligation in the table above includes estimated funding requirements for liabilities related to our foreign pension plans.
Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $274.6 million at December 31, 2007. We believe that our cash flows from operations, coupled with existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Our senior bank facilities include a $25.0 million revolving facility. Letters of credit totaling $3.3 million were outstanding under the revolving facility at December 31, 2007. Our primary foreign exchange hedging agreement has a provision for termination if at any time the amount available under our revolving facility is less than $2.5 million.
On December 13, 2007, we entered into a merger agreement with AMIS, under which AMIS will become our wholly-owned subsidiary. The merger agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, and is expected to be completed as soon as practicable after special meetings of shareholders of both us and AMIS scheduled for March 12, 2008. Consummation of the merger is subject to several closing conditions, including shareholder approval by both companies. At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of AMIS will be converted into the right to receive 1.150 shares of our common stock, which had an estimated value of $894.1 million when the merger was announced on December 13, 2007.
Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by us require us to indemnify the other party against losses due to intellectual property infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, our negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.
We are a party to various agreements with Motorola, a former affiliate, which were entered into in connection with our separation from Motorola. Pursuant to these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify Motorola for losses due to, for example, breach of representations and warranties and covenants, damages arising from assumed liabilities or relating to allocated assets, and for specified environmental matters. Our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and payment by us is conditioned on Motorola making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow us to challenge Motorola’s claims.
We face risks of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that our products fail to perform as expected or such failure of our products results, or is alleged to result in bodily injury or property damage (or both). In addition, if any of our designed products are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in their recall. In one particular case, we have agreed to indemnify a major customer for valid warranty claims on our products sold, not to exceed two and one half times the total annual sales.
In connection with the acquisitions of LSI’s Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility and ADI’s PTC Business, we entered into various agreements with LSI and ADI, respectively. Pursuant to certain of these agreements, we agreed to indemnify LSI and ADI, respectively for certain things limited in the most instances by time and/or monetary amounts.
We and our subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. We maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

We provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. We maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
In addition to the above, from time to time we provide standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with sales of our securities and the engagement of financial advisors and also provide indemnities that protect the counterparties to these contracts in the event they suffer damages as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or in certain other circumstances relating to the sale of securities or their engagement by us.
While our future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and we do not believe that any amounts that we may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
See Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” of this report for possible contingencies related to legal matters and see Part I, Item 1 “Business — Government Regulation” of this report for information on certain environmental matters. See also Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors — Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Other Aspects of Our Business” of this report for risks and uncertainties associated with a purported stockholder class action lawsuit against AMIS and others in connection with the proposed merger between AMIS and us.
Sources and Uses of Cash
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for research and development, to make capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and investments, and to pay debt service, including principal and interest and capital lease payments. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations and funds from external borrowings and equity issuances. In the near term, we expect to fund our primary cash requirements through cash generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and targeted asset sales. Additionally, as part of our business strategy, we review acquisition and divestiture opportunities and proposals on a regular basis. In this regard, we currently have a pending merger with AMIS. If the proposed merger with AMIS is completed, we will be required to repay or refinance all of AMIS’s outstanding debt concurrent with the completion of the merger. As of September 29, 2007, the aggregate principal amount of AMIS’s outstanding debt was approximately $277.5 million. We expect to refinance all or a portion of AMIS’s outstanding debt with a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from one or multiple financing transactions, including pursuant to the accordion feature of our existing senior bank credit facility, factoring arrangements, sale/leaseback transactions, sale of assets, cash generated from operations and additional debt financing, which we are currently exploring but for which we do not have contractual commitments. Although the total dollar amount of this refinancing could be significant, we do not believe that it will impair the ability of our combined businesses to maintain sufficient working capital. We believe that we will be able to successfully complete the repayment or refinancing of AMIS’s outstanding debt, although due to prevailing market conditions, such financing may not be available on terms favorable to us. In addition, on an on-going basis, AMIS will affect our internal cash utilization and capital expenditures, as well as our liquidity.
We believe that the key factors that could affect our internal and external sources of cash include:
• | factors that affect our results of operations and cash flows, including changes in demand for our products, competitive pricing pressures, effective management of our manufacturing capacity, our ability to achieve further reductions in operating expenses, the impact of our restructuring programs on our productivity and our ability to make the research and development expenditures required to remain competitive in our business; and |
54
Table of Contents
• | factors that affect our access to bank financing and the debt and equity capital markets that could impair our ability to obtain needed financing on acceptable terms or to respond to business opportunities and developments as they arise, including interest rate fluctuations, our ability to maintain compliance with financial covenants under our existing credit facilities and other limitations imposed by our credit facilities or arising from our substantial leverage. |
Our ability to service our long-term debt, to remain in compliance with the various covenants and restrictions contained in our credit agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities which is subject to, among other things, our future operating performance as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may beyond our control.
If we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may need to raise additional equity or borrow additional funds to achieve our longer term objectives. There can be no assurance that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us. We believe that cash flow from operating activities coupled with existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs as well as enable us to maintain compliance with our various debt agreements through December 31, 2008. To the extent that results or events differ from our financial projections or business plans, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.
Operations
Our operational cash flows are affected by the ability of our operations to generate cash, and our management of our assets and liabilities, including both working capital and long-term assets and liabilities. Each of these components is discussed herein:

Table of Contents
EBITDA
Earnings (net income) before interest expense, interest income, provisions for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”) is a key indicator that management uses to evaluate our operating performance and cash flows. Not all of these items listed above are necessarily included in the calculation of net income each quarter. While EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure provides important supplemental information to investors and is useful to investors to, among other things, assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. We use this measure, together with GAAP measures, for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that — when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our reports — provide a more complete understanding of factors and treands affecting our business. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The following table sets forth our EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, with a reconciliation to cash flows from operations, the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles (in millions):

As a result of the improved operating performance we generated positive EBITDA for 2007, 2006 and 2005. EBITDA for 2007 decreased to $368.5 million largely due to the lower net income of $242.2 million for the year. EBITDA for 2006 increased to $394.4 million largely due to the generation of net income of $272.1 million for the year.

Table of Contents
As discussed in Note 9, “Long-Term Debt” to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, our debt covenants require us to stay within certain leverage ratios based on the consolidated EBITDA for the last four quarters. Consolidated EBITDA, as defined under the documents for our senior bank facilities totaled approximately $395.7 million for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2007. This consolidated EBITDA computation excludes certain restructuring and other charges and contains other differences from the EBITDA as defined above. Therefore, EBITDA in the above table is not representative of the consolidated EBITDA used to determine our debt covenant compliance.
If we were not in compliance with the covenants contained in our senior bank facilities, the holders of our senior bank facilities could cause all outstanding amounts, which was $173.7 million as of December 31, 2007 to be due and payable immediately. If we were unable to repay, refinance or restructure that indebtedness, the holders could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, any such event of default or declaration of acceleration could also result in an event of default under one or more of our other debt instruments and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. As of December 31, 2007 approximately $839.0 million remained outstanding under other debt that may be accelerated based on this covenant. Therefore, the credit agreement for our senior bank facilities is a material agreement.
Working Capital
Working capital fluctuates depending on end-market demand and our effective management of certain items such as receivables, inventory and payables. In times of escalating demand, our working capital requirements may increase as we purchase additional manufacturing inputs and increase production. Our working capital may also be affected by restructuring programs, which may require us to use cash for severance payments, asset transfers and contract termination costs. Our working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, was $49.8 million at December 31, 2007, and has fluctuated between ($31.3) million and $82.4 million over the last eight quarter-ends.
The components of our working capital at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are set forth below (in millions), followed by explanations for changes between 2006 and 2007 for cash, and cash equivalents and any other changes greater than $5 million:

The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $5.8 million in 2007 was attributable to cash flow from operations of approximately $317.1 million, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $276.1 million and cash used in financing activities of $35.5 million (See “Key Financing Events” below).
The increase of $7.8 million in inventory is attributable to finished goods inventory acquired from the ADI acquisition that closed in the fourth quarter of 2007.
The increase of $34.0 million in other current assets is primarily attributable to the prepaid supply contract associated with the ADI acquisition that closed in the fourth quarter of 2007.
The decrease in accrued expenses of $10.4 million was primarily attributable to the decreases in accrued employee performance bonuses, accrued payroll and accrued vacation.
Long-Term Assets and Liabilities
Our long-term assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, foreign tax receivables and capitalized debt issuance costs.
Our manufacturing rationalization plans have included efforts to utilize our existing manufacturing assets and supply arrangements more efficiently. We believe that near-term access to additional manufacturing capacity, should it be required, could be readily obtained on reasonable terms through manufacturing agreements with third parties. Capital expenditures were $140.7 million, $199.0 million and $46.1 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We will continue to look for opportunities to make similar strategic purchases in the future as we plan to invest in 2008 for additional capacity. Although our debt covenants contain certain restrictions that limit our amount of future capital expenditures, we do not believe that these restrictions will have a significant impact on our future operating performance.
Our long-term liabilities, excluding long-term debt, consist of liabilities under our foreign defined benefit pension plans and tax reserves. In regard to our foreign defined benefit pension plans, generally, our annual funding of these obligations is equal to the minimum amount legally required in each jurisdiction in which the plans operate. This annual amount is dependent upon numerous actuarial assumptions. See Note 14 “Employee Benefit Plans” to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. For further discussion of our tax reserves, see Note 10 “Income Taxes” to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Key Financing Events
Overview
Since we became an independent company as a result of our 1999 recapitalization, we have had relatively high levels of long-term debt as compared to our principal competitors. Our long-term debt includes amounts outstanding under our senior bank facilities, which contain covenants with which we were in compliance as of December 31, 2007.
During the second half of 2003, we began undertaking measures to reduce our long-term debt, reduce related interest costs and, in some cases, extend a portion of our debt maturities to continue to provide us additional operating flexibility. These measures have continued in 2007. Set forth below is a summary of the key financing events affecting our capital structure during the last three years.
November 2005 Conversion of Redeemable Preferred Stock
On November 10, 2005, we entered into a Conversion and Termination Agreement with an affiliate of TPG to convert our outstanding convertible redeemable preferred stock held by such affiliate, with a book value of $138.7 million and $131.1 million as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, into
58
Table of Contents
49,364,080 shares of our common stock. We issued an additional 3,949,126 shares of common stock to the TPG affiliate to induce the conversion of the preferred stock. Following the conversion, none of the authorized shares of the preferred stock remained outstanding. In connection with the conversion and inducement, we recognized a $20.4 million charge that reduced net income applicable to common stock for a deemed dividend from the issuance of inducement shares issued upon conversion.
December 2005 Repayment of 10% Junior Subordinated Notes and Issuance of 1.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
As part of the recapitalization, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, our primary domestic operating subsidiary, issued a $91.0 million junior subordinated note due 2011. During periods it was outstanding, the note bore interest at an annual rate of 10.0%, compounded semi-annually and payable at maturity. The note was junior in right of payment to all senior debt. In November 2005, we repaid $66.4 million of the junior subordinated note with cash on hand, which reduced the outstanding principal amount to approximately $91.0 million.
In order to finance the repayment of the remaining principal amount of the junior subordinated note, in December 2005 we issued $95.0 million of 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025. We received net proceeds of approximately $91.0 million from the sale of the notes after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses of $4.0 million, which were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized using the effective interest method through the first put date of December 15, 2012. The notes bear interest at the rate of 1.875% per year from the date of issuance. Interest on the notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2006. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain of our existing and future subsidiaries.
The notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 142.8571 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $7.00 per share of common stock. We will settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of our common stock, if applicable, subject to our right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders may convert their notes under the following circumstances: (i) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 103% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate; (ii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the indenture relating to the notes; or (iii) after June 15, 2012. We determined that the conversion option based on a trading price condition meets the definition of a derivative, and should be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately. However, the fair value of this feature was determined to be de minimis at the date of issuance and we continue to evaluate the significance of this feature on a quarterly basis.
The notes will mature on December 15, 2025. Beginning December 20, 2012, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, for cash at a price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes that occur prior to December 15, 2012, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to cash and shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate, an additional number of shares of common stock, in each case as described in the indenture. Notwithstanding these conversion rate adjustments, these notes contain an explicit limit on the number of shares issuable upon conversion. Holders may require us to repurchase the notes for cash on December 15 of 2012, 2015 and 2020 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the repurchase date. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, each holder may require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

The notes are our unsecured obligations, will be subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all our existing and future subordinated obligations. The notes also will be effectively subordinated to any of our and our subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
February 2006 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities
In February 2006, we refinanced the term loans under our senior bank facilities to reduce the interest rate from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 2.50%. The amended and restated credit agreement also provides for a step down provision that would further reduce the interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.25% if we maintain a specified credit rating and meet a specified leverage ratio test that first applied based on the 2005 results.
March 2006 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities
The credit agreement relating to our senior bank facilities includes a provision requiring an annual calculation of cash flow (as defined) and the application of a portion of that cash flow as a prepayment of loans outstanding under the agreement. In March 2006, we obtained an amendment of this provision that requires repayment only at the election of the debt holders.
April 2006 Equity Offering
On April 6, 2006, we completed a public offering of our common stock registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement originally filed with the SEC on January 2, 2004. In connection with this offering, we issued approximately 11.2 million shares (which includes 0.7 million shares issued to cover over-allotments) at a price of $7.00 per share. The net proceeds from this offering received by us were $76.1 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.6 million ($0.14 per share) and offering expenses of $0.4 million. The net proceeds were primarily used to partially fund the purchase of LSI’s Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility during the second quarter of 2006, which had a total purchase price of $105 million.
July 2006 Exchange Offer for Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024
On April 6, 2004, we commenced a cash tender offer for all of our then outstanding 12% senior subordinated notes due 2009. In order to finance the cash tender offer, we issued $260.0 million of zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024. We received net proceeds of approximately $251.2 million from the sale of the notes after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses of $8.8 million, which were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized using the effective interest method through the first put date of April 15, 2010. The notes do not bear cash interest, nor does the principal amount accrete. The effective interest rate of the notes resulting from the amortization of debt issuance costs is 0.58%. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain existing and future subsidiaries of ours.
In June 2006, we commenced an offer to exchange all of our then outstanding $260.0 million principal amount of zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 (the “Old Notes”) for a like principal amount of (the “New Notes”) plus an exchange fee of $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of their Old Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange. The New Notes contain a net share settlement feature, which reduce the amount of shares included in diluted net income per share. On July 21, 2006, we issued $259.5 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes that are convertible into cash up to the par value at a conversion rate of 101.8849 shares per $1,000 principle under certain circumstances. The excess of fair value over par value is convertible into stock. The exchange expired on July 19, 2006, and 99.8% of the aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes were tendered and subsequently exchanged. On August 9, 2006, we entered into transactions with four of the remaining holders of Old Notes and exchanged $443,000 aggregate principal amount of Old Notes
60
Table of Contents
that were not tendered in the exchange. These holders exchanged their Old Notes for New Notes on the same terms as the exchange offer discussed above. We intend to repurchase or redeem all of the Old Notes that remain outstanding, subject to market conditions.
The new notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 101.8849 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.815 per share of common stock. We will settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of our common stock, if applicable, subject to the Company’s right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders may convert their notes under the following circumstances: (i) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate; (ii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the indenture relating to the notes; or (iii) after April 15, 2010. We determined that the conversion option based on a trading price condition meets the definition of a derivative, and should be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately. However, the fair value of this feature was determined to be de minimis at the date of issuance and we continue to evaluate the significance of this feature on a quarterly basis.
The notes will mature on April 15, 2024. Beginning April 15, 2010, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, for cash at a price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes that occurs prior to April 15, 2010, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to cash and shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate, an additional number of shares of common stock, in each case as described in the indenture. Notwithstanding these conversion rate adjustments, these notes contain an explicit limit on the number of shares issuable upon conversion. Holders may require us to repurchase the notes for cash on April 15, of 2010, 2014 and 2019 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, each holder may require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The notes are our unsecured obligations, will be subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future subordinated obligations. The notes also will be effectively subordinated to any of our or our subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
August 2006 Chinese Loan Refinancing
In August and September 2006, we refinanced our existing loans with two Chinese banks. Our long-term debt includes a $14.0 million loan facility due in 2009 with a Chinese bank, from tranches that were entered into from November 2000 through February 2001. Interest on this loan facility is payable quarterly and accrues at three month LIBOR, plus 1.2%, reset each half year.
Our long-term debt includes a $6.0 million loan facility due in 2009 with the same Chinese bank as the $14 million loan facility, entered into in August 2006. Interest on this loan is payable quarterly and accrues at a variable rate based on published three month LIBOR rates in China, plus 1.2%, and resets each quarter.
Our long-term debt also includes a $34.6 million loan facility with another Chinese bank. This loan facility is comprised of three tranches of $20.0 million, $5.0 million, and $9.6 million. The $20.0 million tranche was modified in August 2006 and is due in 2009 with $13.0 million amortizing over three years, payable quarterly. The remaining $7.0 million is due in December 2009. Interest on this tranche is payable semiannually and accrues at a variable rate based on published six month LIBOR rates in China, plus 1.5%, and resets each half

year. The $5.0 million tranche was executed in August 2006 and is due in 2009. Interest on this tranche is payable semiannually and accrues at a variable rate based on published six month LIBOR rates in China, plus 1.2%, and resets each half year. The $9.6 million tranche was executed in December 2003 with scheduled quarterly principal and interest payments through December 2013. Interest on this tranche payable semiannually and accrues at a variable rate based on published six month LIBOR rates in China, plus 1.5%, and resets each half year.
November 2006 Fixed Asset Sale Lease Back
In November 2006, we sold assets with a net book value of $30.8 million for $70.0 million to a leasing agency under a sale-leaseback arrangement. We recognized a deferred gain on the transaction in the amount of $39.2 million. Concurrently, we purchased the assets under a capital lease agreement with a net present value of minimum lease payments of $59.0 million, which we are depreciating over six years. We used the proceeds to repay $55.0 million principal outstanding of our senior bank facilities and the remainder for general corporate purposes.
December 2006 issuance of 2.625% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
On December 15, 2006 we issued $484.0 million of 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2026. We received net proceeds of approximately $471.7 million from the sale of the notes after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses of $13.3 million, which were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized using the effective interest method through the first put date of December 15, 2013. We used the net proceeds to repay $199.1 million principal outstanding of our senior bank facilities and to repurchase 30.7 million shares of our common stock outstanding for $230.0 million and the remainder for general corporate purposes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 2.625% per year from the date of issuance. Interest on the notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2007. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain of our existing and future subsidiaries.
The notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 95.2381 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.50 per share of common stock. We will settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of our common stock, if applicable, subject to our right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders may convert their notes under the following circumstances: (i) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 103% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate; (ii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the indenture relating to the notes; or (iii) after June 15, 2013. We determined that the conversion option based on a trading price condition meets the definition of a derivative, and should be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately. However, the fair value of this feature was determined to be de minimis at the date of issuance and we continue to evaluate the significance of this feature on a quarterly basis.
The notes will mature on December 15, 2026. Beginning December 15, 2013, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, for cash at a price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes that occurs prior to December 15, 2013, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to cash and shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate, an additional number of shares of common stock, in each case as described in the indenture. Notwithstanding these conversion rate adjustments, these notes contain an explicit limit on the number of shares issuable upon conversion. Holders may require us to repurchase the notes for cash on December 15 of 2013, 2016 and 2021 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

occurrence of certain corporate events, each holder may require us to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The notes are our unsecured obligations, will be subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future subordinated obligations. The notes also will be effectively subordinated to any of our or our subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
Oregon State Note
In January 2007, we recorded the receipt of $0.5 million of proceeds from a loan agreement and promissory note with the State of Oregon for the purpose of developing local business. The total loan is expected to be for $1.5 million and is to be disbursed in three (3) equal payments with each payment conditioned on the completion of certain requirements by us. The note is for the loan amount or so much thereof as has been disbursed. The note matures on July 31, 2009 and carries an annual interest rate of 5.0%. The State of Oregon will forgive all or a portion of the loan and accrued interest upon the satisfaction by us of certain conditions, including maintaining 400 full-time equivalent employees at the Gresham, Oregon facility for a specific period of time.
March 2007 Amendment to Senior Bank Facilities
In March 2007, we refinanced the term loans under our senior bank facilities to, among other things, reduce the interest rate from LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The amended and restated credit agreement also extended the maturity date of the facilities by approximately four years to 2013. Additionally, we repaid in the first quarter of 2007 approximately $23.9 million of the term loan under the senior bank facilities. Terms within our senior bank facilities contain financial and other covenants more restrictive than those that are currently applicable should we exceed leverage and secured leverage ratios, as specified therein.
October 2007 Philippine Loan
In October 2007, we entered into a five year loan agreement with the Bank of the Philippine Islands, Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company and Security Bank Corporation to finance capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. The loan amount of $25.0 million bears interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 1% per annum. Sixty percent of the total loan amount will be repaid in nineteen equal quarterly installments with the balance to be repaid on the maturity date of the loan, which is October 11, 2012.

notes due 2025 and our 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2026. Our other domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis the obligations of the issuers of such notes. None of our non-U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the senior bank facilities or the notes.
As of December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with the various covenants and other requirements contained in the credit agreement relating to our senior bank facilities and the indentures relating to our zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024, our 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025 and our 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2026. We believe that we will be able to comply with the various covenants and other requirements contained in such credit agreement and the indentures through December 31, 2008.
Our debt agreements contain, and any future debt agreements may include, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on among other things, our ability to:
• | incur additional debt, including guarantees; |
• | incur liens; |
• | sell or otherwise dispose of assets; |
• | make investments, loans or advances; |
• | make some acquisitions; |
• | engage in mergers or consolidations; |
• | pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments; |
• | pay dividends from Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC to ON Semiconductor Corporation; |
• | engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions; |
• | enter into new lines of business; |
• | issue some types of preferred stock; and |
• | enter into transactions with our affiliates. |
Our senior bank facilities contain financial and other covenants more restrictive than those that are currently applicable should we exceed leverage and secured leverage ratios, as specified therein. Any future debt could contain financial and other covenants more restrictive than those that are currently applicable.
Cash Management
Our ability to manage cash is limited, as our primary cash inflows and outflows are dictated by the terms of our sales and supply agreements, contractual obligations, debt instruments and legal and regulatory requirements. While we have some flexibility with respect to the timing of capital equipment purchases, we must invest in capital on a timely basis to allow us to maintain our manufacturing efficiency and support our platforms of new products.
Accounting Changes
Asset Retirement Obligations.
Effective December 31, 2005 we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 47 “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“Statement 143”) refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within
65

the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. As a result of the adoption of FIN 47, we recorded a $2.9 million net charge for the cumulative effect of accounting change in 2005, and we recorded a $4.0 million liability for asset retirement obligations, included in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.
Adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
We or one of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002.
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized approximately an $8.9 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007, balance of retained earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):
Balance at January 1, 2007 | $ | 21.7 | ||
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 1.7 | |||
Additions for tax positions of prior years | — | |||
Reductions for tax positions of prior years | (1.7 | ) | ||
Lapse of statute | (0.7 | ) | ||
Settlements | (1.1 | ) | ||
Balance at December 31, 2007 | $ | 19.9 | ||
The entire December 31, 2007 balance of approximately $19.9 million relates to unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. Included in the $19.9 million balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007, is $9.1 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could significantly change during the twelve months following December 31, 2007, as a result of expiring statutes of limitations.
We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized approximately $2.7 million in interest and penalties. We had approximately $6.8 and $4.1 million for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Note 3 “Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report contains a detailed summary of our significant accounting policies. We believe certain of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our financial position and results of operations. We utilize the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue. We generate revenue from sales of our semiconductor products to original equipment manufacturers, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. We also generate revenue, although to a much lesser extent from manufacturing services provided to customers. We recognize revenue on sales to original equipment manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service providers and sales of manufacturing services net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer (which is generally upon shipment), the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Title to products sold to distributors typically passes at the time of shipment by us so we record accounts receivable for the amount of the transaction, reduce our inventory for the products shipped and defer the related margin in our consolidated balance sheet. We recognize the related revenue and cost of revenues when the distributor informs us that they have resold the products to the end user. As a result of our inability to reliably estimate up front the effect of the returns and allowances with these distributors, we defer the related revenue and margin on sales to distributors. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days.
Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the statement of operations.
Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. Our original equipment manufacturer customers do not have the right to return our products other than pursuant to the provisions of our standard warranty. Sales to distributors, however, are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Under our general agreements, distributors are allowed to return any product that we have removed from our price book. In addition, agreements with our distributors typically contain standard stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns. However, since we defer recognition of revenue and gross profit on sales to distributors until the distributor resells the product, due to our inability to reliably estimate up front the effect of the returns and allowances with these distributors, sales returns and allowances have minimal impact on our results of operations. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. Given that our revenues consist of a high volume of relatively similar products, our actual returns and allowances and warranty claims have not traditionally fluctuated significantly from period to period, and our returns and allowances and warranty provisions have historically been reasonably accurate.
We generally warrant that products sold to our customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to our approved specifications. Our standard warranty extends for a period that is the greater of (i) three years from the date of shipment or (ii) the period of time specified in the customer’s standard warranty (provided that the customer’s standard warranty is stated in writing and extended to purchasers at no additional charge). At the time revenue is recognized, we establish an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with our sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. In addition, we also offer cash discounts to customers for payments received by us within an agreed upon time, generally 10 days after shipment. We accrue reserves for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on experience with each customer.

Table of Contents
Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense during the period in which they are incurred.
Inventories. We carry our inventories at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market and record provisions for slow moving inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand compared to historical and projected end user demand. These provisions can influence our results from operations. For example, when demand falls for a given part, all or a portion of the related inventory is reserved, impacting our cost of revenues and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously reserved are sold, we will generally recognize a higher than normal margin. However, the majority of product inventory that has been previously reserved is ultimately discarded. Although we do sell some products that have previously been written down, such sales have historically been relatively consistent on a quarterly basis and the related impact on our margins has not been material.
Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, we consider estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. If we determine that we will not realize all or a portion of our remaining deferred tax assets, we will increase our valuation allowance with a charge to income tax expense. Conversely, if we determine that we will ultimately be able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the related portion of the valuation allowance will be released to income as a credit to income tax expense. In the fourth quarter of 2001, a valuation allowance was established for our domestic deferred tax assets and a portion of our foreign deferred tax assets. Additionally, throughout 2005, 2006 and 2007, no incremental domestic deferred tax benefits were recognized. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, gross deferred tax assets were $619.1 million and $667.9 million, respectively, and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance was $619.3 million and $665.0 million, respectively. Our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets and the continuing need for a related valuation allowance are monitored on an ongoing basis.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived for an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. We continually apply our best judgment when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of an impaired asset. The dynamic economic environment in which we operate and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of our impairment tests. In recent years, most of our assets that have been impaired consist of assets that were ultimately abandoned, sold or otherwise disposed of due to cost reduction activities and the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities. In some instances, these assets have subsequently been sold for amounts higher than their impaired value. When material, these gains are recorded in the restructuring, asset impairment and other, net line item in our consolidated statement of operations and disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Goodwill. We evaluate our goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), which requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit containing our goodwill with the related carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting unit’s goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step is unnecessary. To date, our goodwill has not been considered to be impaired based on the results of this first step.
Defined Benefit Plans. We maintain pension plans covering certain of our employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs are calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions,
68
Table of Contents
including a discount rate for plan obligations, assumed rate of return on pension plan assets and assumed rate of compensation increase for plan employees. All of these assumptions are based upon management’s judgment, considering all known trends and uncertainties. Actual results that differ from these assumptions impact the expense recognition and cash funding requirements of our pension plans. For example, as of December 31, 2007, a one percentage point change in the discount rate utilized to determine our continuing foreign pension liabilities and expense for our continuing foreign defined benefit plans would have impacted our results by approximately $3.2 million.
Valuation of Stock Compensation. The fair value of each option grant in 2005 and thereafter is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model. In past years, the Company has used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of its options. The lattice-based model uses: 1) a constant volatility; 2) an employee exercise behavior model (based on an analysis of historical exercise behavior); and 3) the treasury yield curve to calculate the fair value of each option grant. The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of shares issued under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Asset Retirement Obligations. We recognize asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) when incurred, with the initial measurement at fair value. These liabilities are accreted to full value over time through charges to income. In addition, asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the related asset’s carrying value and are depreciated over the asset’s respective useful life. Our AROs consist primarily of estimated decontamination costs associated with manufacturing equipment and buildings.
Contingencies. We are involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on the available information, we evaluate the relevant range and likelihood of potential outcomes. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, we record the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and reasonably estimable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, although early adoption is permitted. Our adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to recognize changes in fair value in earnings. Entities electing the fair value option are required to distinguish, on the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value of assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount would be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of initial adoption. Our adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces FAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business
69
Table of Contents
combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after an entity’s fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. We will assess the impact of SFAS 141(R) if and when a future acquisition occurs.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains it controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
At December 31, 2007, our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $1,159.4 million. We have no interest rate exposure to rate changes on our fixed rate debt, which totaled $911.8 million. We do have interest rate exposure with respect to the $247.6 million outstanding balance on our variable interest rate debt. A 50 basis point increase in interest rates would impact our expected annual interest expense for the next twelve months by approximately $1.2 million. However, some of this impact would be offset by additional interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents as a result of the higher rates.
Our primary foreign exchange hedging agreement has a provision for termination if at any time the amount available under our revolving credit facility becomes less than $2.5 million.
A majority of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, as a multinational business, we also conduct certain of these activities through transactions denominated in a variety of other currencies. We use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge firm commitments and reduce our overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exposures would generally be offset by corresponding losses and gains on the related hedging instruments. This strategy reduces, but does not eliminate, the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. For example, changes in exchange rates may affect the foreign currency sales price of our products and can lead to increases or decreases in sales volume to the extent that the sales price of comparable products of our competitors are less or more than the sales price of our products. Our policy prohibits speculation on financial instruments, trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) inInternal Control — Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, excluded the PTC Business because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2007. The total assets and total revenue of the PTC Business represent 9.0% of consolidated total assets and 0.0% of consolidated total revenue, respectively, of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. Registrants are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year if, among other circumstances and factors, there is not adequate time between the consummation date of the acquisition and the assessment date for assessing internal controls.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in Part IV, Item 15 “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” of this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ON Semiconductor Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index under Item 15(a) (1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ON Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index under Item 15(a) (2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for share-based compensation in fiscal 2006.
As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in fiscal 2007.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, management has excluded the Analog Devices, Inc. voltage regulation and thermal monitoring products for computing application business (the “PTC Business”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 because the PTC Business was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination on December 31, 2007. We have also excluded the PTC Business from our audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The PTC Business’ total assets and total revenues represent approximately 9.0% and 0.0%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Background and Basis of Presentation
ON Semiconductor Corporation, together with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a global supplier of power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components. Formerly known as the Semiconductor Components Group of the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola, Inc., the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola Inc. (“Motorola”) prior to its August 4, 1999 recapitalization (the “recapitalization”). The Company continues to hold, through direct and indirect subsidiaries, substantially all the assets and operations of the Semiconductor Components Group of Motorola’s Semiconductor Products Sector.
On August 4, 1999, the Company was recapitalized and certain related transactions were effected pursuant to an agreement among ON Semiconductor Corporation, its principal domestic operating subsidiary, Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (“SCI LLC”), Motorola and affiliates of Texas Pacific Group (“TPG”). Because TPG’s affiliates did not acquire substantially all of the Company’s common stock, the basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes were not impacted by the recapitalization.
Note 2: Liquidity
The Company’s long-term debt is due at various times ranging from 2008 to 2026 depending on the debt instrument (see Note 9 “Long-Term Debt” ). The Company’s long-term debt agreements also include various covenants which the Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2007 and expects to remain in compliance with over the next twelve months. The Company’s ability to service its long-term debt, to remain in compliance with the various covenants and restrictions contained in its financing agreements and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on its ability to generate cash from operating activities which is subject to, among other things, its future operating performance as well as to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond its control. Management believes that cash flows from operating activities coupled with existing cash balances will be adequate to fund the Company’s operating and capital needs through at least December 31, 2008. To the extent that results or events differ from the Company’s financial projections or business plans, its liquidity may be adversely impacted.
Note 3: Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Investments in companies that represent less than 20% of the related voting stock are accounted for on the cost basis. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the measurement of valuation allowances relating to trade and tax receivables, inventories and deferred tax assets; reserves for customer incentives, warranties, restructuring charges and pension obligations; the fair values of stock options and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); and future cash flows associated with long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with reputable major financial institutions. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, the Company provides unsecured credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for possible losses on uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company routinely analyzes accounts receivable and considers history, customer creditworthiness, facts and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, current economic trends, and payment term changes when evaluating adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. For uncollectible accounts receivable the Company records a loss against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after exhaustive efforts have been made to collect and with management’s approval. Generally, realized losses have been within the range of management’s expectations.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis), or market. The Company records provisions for slow moving inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand compared to historical and projected end user demand. These provisions can influence results from operations. For example, when demand for a given part falls, all or a portion of the related inventory is reserved, impacting cost of sales and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously reserved are sold, a higher than normal margin will generally be recognized. General market conditions as well as the Company’s design activities can cause certain of its products to become obsolete.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 30-50 years for buildings and 3-20 years for machinery and equipment using accelerated and straight-line methods. During periods before the second quarter of 2006, a majority of the machinery and equipment was depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 5 years. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company changed the estimated useful life for a majority of its machinery and equipment currently in use from 5 years to 10 years. See Note 5 “Accounting Changes” for further discussion. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the year in which the expense is incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is assessed when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived from an asset are less than its carrying amount. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. Judgment is used when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of an impaired asset. The dynamic economic environment in which the Company operates and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of these impairment tests.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
The Company plans to sell approximately 51 acres of land and two buildings located at its corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. During the fourth quarter of 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell the wafer fabrication facility and associated land at our Phoenix site for approximately $16 million, subject to various conditions and certain adjustments. If the sale is completed at the origionally contracted price, we expect to record gains totaling approximately $9 million. The sale is scheduled to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2008, During the second quarter of 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell three parcels of land totaling approximately 22 acres for approximately $12.3 million subject to various conditions and certain adjustments. If the sales are completed at the originally contracted price, the Company expects to record gains totaling approximately $11.0 million over the next three to four quarters. The remaining unused property and building is currently being marketed for sale. The remainder of the Phoenix site will continue as the Company’s corporate headquarters as well as a manufacturing, design center and research and development facility.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the Company’s April 2000 acquisition of Cherry Semiconductor Corporation (“Cherry”), the Company’s September 2006 acquisition of an additional interest in its investment in Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company (“Leshan”), and the Company’s December 2007 acquisition of the voltage regulation and thermal monitoring products for its computing applications business from Analog Devices, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“ADI”). When the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”) the net carrying value of the Cherry Goodwill was $77.3 million, which included $18.4 million of accumulated amortization. During the third quarter of 2006 the Company acquired additional interest in its investment in Leshan for $9.2 million, for which the incremental interest in the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets had an estimated fair value of $5.4 million resulting in $3.8 million of Goodwill. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2007 the Company acquired ADI’s CPU voltage and PC thermal monitoring business resulting in $91.3 million of Goodwill. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is evaluated for potential impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit containing goodwill with the related carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting unit’s goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step test must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any. The second step test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the carrying amount of such goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company performs its annual impairment analysis as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of values assigned to intellectual property, assembled workforce, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and patents resulting from the May 2006 purchase of LSI Logic Corporation’s (“LSI”) Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility and the December 2007 purchase of ADI’s PTC Business (see Note 6 “Acquisitions” for further discussion). These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized over their economic useful life ranging from 3 to 12years using the straight-line method and are reviewed for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.

Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the underlying agreements using the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of debt, the related unamortized debt issuance costs are charged to expense (see Note 9 “Long-Term Debt — Loss on Debt Prepayment”). Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense while the unamortized balance is included in other assets. Capitalized debt issuance costs totaled $18.9 million and $22.9 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to original equipment manufacturers, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. The Company also generates revenue, although to a much lesser extent from manufacturing services provided to customers. The Company recognizes revenue on sales to original equipment manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service providers

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
and sales of manufacturing services net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer (which is generally upon shipment), the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Title to products sold to distributors typically passes at the time of shipment by the Company so the Company records accounts receivable for the amount of the transaction, reduces its inventory for the products shipped and defers the related margin in its consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognizes the related revenue and cost of revenues when it is informed by the distributor that they have resold the products to the end user. As a result of the Company’s inability to reliably estimate up front the effects of the returns and allowances with these distributors, the Company defers the related revenue and margin on sales to distributors. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days.
Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the statement of operations.
Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. The Company’s original equipment manufacturer customers do not have the right to return products other than pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s standard warranty. Sales to distributors, however, are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Under the Company’s general agreements, distributors are allowed to return any product that has been removed from the price book. In addition, agreements with distributors typically contain standard stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns. However, since the Company defers recognition of revenue and gross profit on sales to distributors until the distributor resells the product, due to the inability to reliably estimate up front the effect of the returns and allowances with these distributors, sales returns and allowances have minimal impact on the results of operations. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. Given that revenues consist of a high volume of relatively similar products, actual returns and allowances and warranty claims have not traditionally fluctuated significantly from period to period, and returns and allowances and warranty provisions have historically been reasonably accurate.
The Company generally warrants that products sold to its customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and materials and conform to approved specifications. The Company’s standard warranty extends for a period that is the greater of (i) three years from the date of shipment or (ii) the period of time specified in the customer’s standard warranty (provided that the customer’s standard warranty is stated in writing and extended to purchasers at no additional charge). At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with its sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. In addition, the Company also offers cash discounts to customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally 10 days after shipment. The Company accrues reserves for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on experience with each customer.
Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense during the period in which they are incurred.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123R”), “Share-Based Payment,” which establishes accounting for share-based awards exchanged for employee services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite employee service period The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006.
Under SFAS 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no unvested awards with market conditions, although it did have outstanding awards with performance, time and service based vesting provisions. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006, using a modified prospective application, which provides for certain changes to the method for recognizing share-based compensation. Under the modified prospective application, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The provisions of SFAS No. 123R apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding with future service periods on the effective date. Estimated compensation expense for awards outstanding with future service periods at the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”).
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that such deferred taxes will be realized.
In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each taxing jurisdiction are considered. If all or a portion of the remaining deferred tax assets will not be realized, the valuation allowance will be increased with a charge to income tax expense. Conversely, if the Company will ultimately be able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the related portion of the valuation allowance will be released to income as a credit to income tax expense.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. The Company recognizes potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the United States and other tax jurisdictions based on its estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these liabilities ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the Company determines the liabilities are no longer necessary. Additionally, the Company reviews the collectability of its tax receivables due from various jurisdictions and when recovery is uncertain, the Company reserves amounts deemed to be uncollectible. If the receipts of these amounts occur or are assured, the reversal of the reserves previously established would result in a tax benefit in the period.
See Note 5 “Accounting Changes” for discussion relating to the Company’s adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.

Foreign Currencies
Most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries conduct business primarily in U.S. dollars and as a result, utilize the dollar as their functional currency. For the translation of financial statements of these subsidiaries, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are receivable or payable in cash are translated at current exchange rates while inventories and other non-monetary assets in foreign currencies are translated at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of such financial statements are included in the operating results, as are gains and losses incurred on foreign currency transactions.
The Company’s remaining foreign subsidiaries utilize the local currency as their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates while revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates in effect for the period. The related translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity (deficit).
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company maintains pension plans covering certain of its employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs are calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including a discount rate for plan obligations, assumed rate of return on pension plan assets and assumed rate of compensation increases for plan employees. All of these assumptions are based upon management’s judgment and consultation with an actuary, considering all known trends and uncertainties. See Note 14 “Employee Benefit Plans” for the effects of the adoption of SFAS No. 158 “Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Plans”.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) when incurred, with the initial measurement at fair value. These liabilities are accreted to full value over time through charges to income. In addition, asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the related asset’s carrying value and are depreciated over the asset’s respective useful life. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the liability as of December 31, 2007 was 6.2%. The Company’s AROs consist primarily of estimated decontamination costs associated with manufacturing equipment and buildings resulting from the Company’s adoption of FIN No. 47 “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” in 2005 (“FIN No. 47”). See Note 5 “Accounting Changes” for further discussion of FIN 47.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information available, management evaluates the relevant range and likelihood of potential outcomes. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” management records the appropriate liability when the amount is deemed probable and reasonably estimable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
after November 15, 2007, although early adoption is permitted. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to impact its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for many financial assets and liabilities. Entities electing the fair value option would be required to recognize changes in fair value in earnings. Entities electing the fair value option are required to distinguish, on the face of the statement of financial position, the fair value of assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount would be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of initial adoption. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to impact its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces FAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after an entity’s fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company will assess the impact of SFAS 141(R) if and when a future acquisition occurs.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 4: Pending Acquisition
On December 13, 2007, the Company and AMIS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AMIS”), entered into a merger agreement, under which AMIS will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, and the merger is expected to be completed within the first six months of 2008. At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of AMIS will be converted into the right to receive 1.150 shares of the Company’s common stock, which had an estimated value of $894.1 million when the merger was announced on December 13, 2007. Consummation of the merger is subject to several closing conditions, including the adoption

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
of the merger agreement by the stockholders of AMIS, the approval by stockholders of the Company of the issuance of shares of its common stock, the approval by stockholders of the Company of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to increase the amount of authorized common stock by 150 million shares; the expiration of applicable waiting periods in certain jurisdictions, the absence of certain governmental restraints and the effectiveness of a Form S-4 registration statement filed by the Company.
The merger agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and AMIS and provides that a specified fee must be paid by one party to the other in connection with certain termination events. In certain specified circumstances, the Company must pay AMIS a termination fee of $30.2 million (generally in the event the Board of Directors of the Company changes its recommendation that its stockholders adopt the merger agreement, or elects to pursue an alternative acquisition proposal from a third party). In other specified circumstances, AMIS must pay the Company a termination fee of $30.2 million (generally in the event the Board of Directors of AMIS changes its recommendation that its stockholders adopt the merger agreement, or elects to pursue an alternative acquisition proposal from a third party).

Effective December 31, 2005, the Company adopted FIN 47 “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“Statement 143”) refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.
As a result of the adoption of FIN 47, the Company recorded a $2.9 million net charge for the cumulative effect of accounting change in 2005, and recorded a $4.0 million liability for asset retirement obligations, included in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See Note 3 “Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion.
Estimated Useful Life
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company commissioned a study of the manufacturing equipment at its worldwide locations, which included an assessment of the estimated useful lives of those assets. The results of the study supported an estimated useful life of 10 years. Management, factoring in the results of this study, revised the estimated useful lives of its manufacturing equipment for depreciation purposes to 10 years on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2006 and on a prospective basis. The effect of this change was to decrease depreciation expense by $9.8 million in 2007and $20.2 million in 2006 and increase net income by $9.8 million and $20.2 million and increase both basic and diluted net income per share by $0.03 and $0.06 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized approximately $8.9 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007, balance of retained earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):
Balance at January 1, 2007 | $ | 21.7 | ||
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 1.7 | |||
Additions for tax positions of prior years | — | |||
Reductions for tax positions of prior years | (1.7 | ) | ||
Lapse of statute | (0.7 | ) | ||
Settlements | (1.1 | ) | ||
Balance at December 31, 2007 | $ | 19.9 | ||
The entire December 31, 2007 balance of $19.9 million relates to unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. Included in the $19.9 million balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007, is $9.1 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could significantly change during the twelve months following December 31, 2007, as a result of expiring statutes of limitations.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $2.7 million in interest and penalties. The Company had approximately $6.8 million and $4.1 million for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Note 6: Acquisitions
ADI’s PTC Business
On December 31, 2007, the Company purchased from ADI certain assets, including property, plant and equipment and intellectual property rights related to ADI’s voltage regulation and thermal monitoring products for its computing applications business (“PTC Business”). In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force issue No. 98-3 “Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business,”,this transaction was determined to be a business combination, not an acquisition of assets. As part of the purchase, the Company offered employment to substantially all of ADI’s employees involved in the PTC Business, of which 66 accepted employment with the Company at the time of the purchase. The Company and

ADI also entered into several ancillary agreements, including a licensing agreement, a one-year manufacturing supply agreement, a transition services agreement, and an escrow agreement covering certain post-closing indemnification obligations of ADI. The total acquisition cost of $148.0 million of cash included $147.0 million paid to ADI for the PTC Business and approximately $1.0 million in legal, accounting and appraisal fees related to the transaction. In addition, the Company entered into a $36.9 million supply agreement for inventory.
Results of operations for the PTC Business have been excluded from the consolidated financial statements of the Company because the date of acquisition occurred on December 31, 2007. As a result of the acquisition, the Company expects that the technical expertise, customer relationships and power management know-how of the PTC Business and its employees will expand the Company’s overall computing power management business and accelerate its notebook power management revenue.
The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price of the PTC Business, including professional fees and other related acquisition costs, to the assets acquired based on their fair values (in millions):
Inventory | $ | 7.0 | |
Property, plant and equipment | 0.2 | ||
Intangible assets | 49.5 | ||
Goodwill | 91.3 | ||
Total assets acquired | $ | 148.0 | |
The $49.5 million of acquired intangible assets have a weighted-average useful life of approximately 9 years. The intangible assets that make up that amount include: customer relationships of $23.7 million (5-year weighted-average useful life), patents of $16.7 million (12-year weighted-average useful life), developed technology of $8.7 million (15-year weighted-average useful life) and other assets of $0.4 million (3-year weighted-average useful life). The $91.3 million of goodwill was assigned to the computing products segment, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The allocation of the purchase price is based on management estimates and assumptions, and other information compiled by management, that utilized established valuation techniques appropriate for the high-technology industry.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the acquisition of the PTC Business had occurred at January 1, 2006 (in millions, except per share data):
Year Ended | ||||||
December 31, 2007 | December 31, 2006 | |||||
Net revenues | $ | 1,648.3 | $ | 1,625.9 | ||
Net income | $ | 214.2 | $ | 243.6 | ||
Net income per common share — Basic | $ | 0.74 | $ | 0.76 | ||
Net income per common share — Diluted | $ | 0.71 | $ | 0.71 |
The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations does not purport to be indicative of the results obtained if the above acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of 2007 and 2006, or of those results that may be obtained in the future. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations include adjustments to net income to give effect to amortization of intangibles acquired.

acquisition of assets, not a business combination. The assets that were purchased included an approximately 83 acre campus with an estimated 500,000 square feet of building space of which approximately 98,000 square feet is clean room. SCI LLC also offered employment to substantially all of LSI’s manufacturing and engineering employees working at the Gresham facility at the time of the purchase. At the closing of the transaction, SCI LLC also entered into several ancillary agreements including, but not limited to, a wafer supply and test agreement, intellectual property license agreement, transition services agreement and facility use agreement.
The aggregate purchase price for the acquired assets was $106.5 million, which included approximately $1.5 million in legal, accounting and appraisal fees related to the transaction. In addition, approximately $1.1 million of certain net assets and liabilities were assumed by SCI LLC when the purchase was finalized on May 15, 2006. The aggregate purchase price of $106.5 million was allocated to the assets purchased based on their relative fair values as follows (in millions):
Property, plant and equipment, net: | |||
Land | $ | 12.9 | |
Buildings | 10.5 | ||
Machinery and equipment | 71.2 | ||
Total property, plant and equipment | 94.6 | ||

Total intangible assets | 11.9 | ||
Total long-term assets acquired | 106.5 | ||
Other assets acquired and liablilities assumed | 1.1 | ||
Total | $ | 107.6 | |
The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management estimates and assumptions, and other information compiled by management, that utilized established valuation techniques appropriate for the high-technology industry.
The Company paid LSI a deposit of $10.5 million in April 2006 and also paid $80.6 million at the closing of the transaction on May 15, 2006, and paid the remaining balance of $15.0 million on August 14, 2006.
To finance a portion of the purchase, the Company completed a public offering on April 6, 2006 of common stock registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2004. In connection with this offering, the Company issued approximately 11.2 million shares (which includes 0.7 million shares issued as over-allotments) of its common stock at a price of $7.00 per share. The net proceeds from this offering received by the Company were $76.1 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.6 million ($0.14 per share) and offering expenses of $0.4 million. See Note 12 “Common Stock, Treasury Stock and Net Income Per Share” for further discussion.

Cumulative charges of $1.0 million have been recognized through December 31, 2007, related to the 2007 plan to restructure certain general and administrative positions in Asia and have been included in restructuring, asset impairment and other, net on the consolidated statement of operations. In October 2007, the Company announced plans to change its management structure at its Aizu, Japan manufacturing facility and to outsource its healthcare professional services provided at its Seremban, Malaysia manufacturing facility. This activity is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2008. It is anticipated that approximately 21 employees will be terminated as a direct result of this plan. These measures were initiated for cost savings purposes. Employees impacted by these announcements began to exit during the fourth quarter of 2007. As of December 31, 2007, $0.5 million remained to be paid. All termination benefits and associated severance payments related to this charge are expected to be paid by the end of the first quarter of 2008.

Cumulative charges of $2.0 million have been recognized through December 31, 2007, related to the 2007 plan to restructure Phoenix, Arizona wafer manufacturing and have been included in restructuring, asset impairment and other, net on the consolidated statement of operations. In March 2007, the Company announced plans to consolidate manufacturing efforts with the closing of one of its manufacturing facilities at its Phoenix, Arizona location. The wafer manufacturing that takes place at this facility will be transferred to the Company’s offshore lower-cost manufacturing facilities, expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2008. It is anticipated that approximately 80 manufacturing employees will be terminated as a direct result of this consolidation effort. Also in connection with this activity, during the third quarter of 2007 the Company announced reductions in factory support functions at its Phoenix, Arizona and Gresham, Oregon locations which resulted in the elimination or transfer of 62 positions. These measures were initiated for cost savings purposes. Employees impacted by these announcements began to exit during the third quarter of 2007 and the Company expects to record an additional $0.2 million through the end of the second quarter of 2008. All terminations and associated severance payments related to these activities are expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2008.

Asset Impairments
In June 2006, the Company recorded $4.7 million of asset impairments included in restructuring, asset impairments and other, net on the statement of operations. Prior to June 2006, the Company has capitalized approximately $10.6 million of software development costs associated with modifications and enhancements to several business process and related systems. The $4.7 million of asset impairments resulted from the fact that the Company currently has no plans to use certain internally developed software, and management considers the cease of use of these assets as other than temporarily idled. The decision to cease development of these assets in the second quarter of 2006 was triggered by a reallocation of corporate resources from these projects to other projects due to changes in corporate priorities, which include new objectives that arose from the purchase of the Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility in May 2006 (See Note 6: “Acquisitions” for further discussion). The amount of the asset impairment charge taken in June 2006, of $4.7 million, was determined based on the costs that had previously been capitalized related to the projects that have been abandoned.
Other
In September 2006, an overhead fire prevention sprinkler malfunctioned in the Company’s Gresham wafer fabrication facility, damaging manufacturing equipment with a total net book value of $2.7 million. Approximately $2.2 million of the equipment was determined not to be repairable. Accordingly, the Company wrote-off the equipment’s net book value in September 2006. The Company received insurance proceeds from its property provider to cover costs associated with the incident in the amount of $5.0 million in October 2006 and $9.4 million in December 2006, $6.5 million of which was a business interruption recovery and was recognized in cost of manufacturing service revenues while the remaining $7.9 million was recognized as a gain in restructuring, asset impairment and other, net, partially offset by the $2.2 million net book value of the damaged equipment write off during 2006.
In December 2006, the Company sold two of its buildings, which were classified as held for sale and had a net book value of $3.0 million for gross proceeds of $8.4 million. The total gains associated with both buildings was approximately $4.5 million after deducting costs to sell and the net book value of the buildings.
In 2005, the $0.5 million gain on sale of fixed assets related to the sale of portions of land at East Greenwich for approximately $0.7 million, which had a net book value of approximately $0.2 million prior to the sale. Also during the first quarter of 2005, the Company partially resolved an issue with a manufacturing supply contract in connection with the June 2002 restructuring program for $2.4 million. The remaining reserve was released during the first quarter of 2005.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred a loss on debt prepayment of $1.3 million resulting from the prepayment of $374.1 million of our senior bank facilities, using proceeds from the issuance of our 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes and cash on hand.
Senior Bank Facilities
Terms Existing as of December 31, 2007
Borrowings under the senior bank facilities bear interest at rates selected by the Company based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or an alternative base rate, as defined, plus an interest rate spread of 1.75%. As of December 31, 2007, after consideration of the amendments to the credit agreement described below, the senior bank facilities contained a $25.0 million revolving line of credit. Letters of credit totaling $3.3 million were outstanding against the line of credit at December 31, 2007 leaving $21.7 million of availability at that date. The Company’s primary foreign exchange hedging agreement has a provision for termination of such agreement if at any time the amount available under the revolving line of credit becomes less than $2.5 million.
As of December 31, 2007, borrowings under the senior bank facilities were $173.7 million under the term loan, with interest payable quarterly and accruing at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%. The interest rate as of December 31, 2007 was 6.58%. Principal payments under the term loan facility are paid quarterly at an annualized rate of 1% of the original principal balance, with the remaining principal due at maturity. The Company was in compliance with the various covenants and other requirements contained in its senior bank facilities, through December 31, 2007. Management believes that the Company will be able to comply with the various covenants and other requirements contained in its senior bank facilities through December 31, 2008.

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
After refinancing during the first quarter of 2007, certain financial covenants were revised in the senior bank facilities to:
• | enhance the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness provided the leverage ratio is less than 4.0 to 1.0 and secured leverage ratio is less than 2.5 to 1.0 for secured debt based on consolidated EBITDA for the last four quarters; |
• | make $300.0 million or more of restricted payments or investments such as stock repurchases, all subject to market and certain financial conditions; |
• | permit incremental credit extensions of up to $260.0 million provided no defaults exists; |
• | remove the limit on capital expenditures; |
• | remove the minimum consolidated EBITDA requirement and established maximum secured leverage ratio of 2.5 should there be outstanding revolving loans, swing loans or letters of credit; |
• | remove the mandatory term loan prepayment in an aggregate amount equal to of 50% of excess cash flow provided the secured leverage ratio is not exceeded; |
• | increase the prepayment trigger event to $10.0 million; and |
• | increase the maximum amount of sale and leaseback transactions to $25.0 million during any four consecutive quarters. |
The March 2007 amendment also reduced, among other things, the interest rate from LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 1.75% and also extended the maturity date of the facilities by approximately four years to 2013. Additionally, using cash generated from operations, during the first quarter of 2007 the Company repaid approximately $23.9 million of the term loan under the senior bank facilities. Terms within the Company’s senior bank facilities contain financial and other covenants more restrictive than those that are currently applicable should the Company exceed leverage and secured leverage ratios as specified therein.
Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
On April 6, 2004, the Company commenced a cash tender offer for all of its then outstanding 12% senior subordinated notes due 2009. In order to finance the cash tender offer, the Company issued $260.0 million of zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $251.2 million from the sale of the notes after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses of $8.8 million, which were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized using the effective interest method through the first put date of April 15, 2010. The notes do not bear cash interest, nor does the principal amount accrete. The effective interest rate of the notes resulting from the amortization of debt issuance costs is 0.58%. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain existing and future subsidiaries of the Company.
In June 2006, the Company commenced an offer to exchange all of its then outstanding $260.0 million principal amount of zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 (the “Old Notes”) for a like principal amount of (the “New Notes”) plus an exchange fee of $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of their Old Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange. The New Notes contain a net share settlement feature, which reduce the amount of shares included in diluted net income per share. On July 21, 2006, the Company issued $259.5 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes that are convertible into cash up to the par value at a conversion rate of 101.8849 shares per $1,000 principle under certain circumstances. The excess of fair value over par value is convertible into stock. The exchange expired on July 19, 2006, and 99.8% of the aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes were tendered and subsequently exchanged. On August 9, 2006, the Company entered into transactions with four of the remaining holders of Old Notes and exchanged $443,000 aggregate

principal amount of Old Notes that were not tendered in the exchange. These holders exchanged their Old Notes for New Notes on the same terms as the exchange offer discussed above. The Company intends to repurchase or redeem all of the Old Notes that remain outstanding, subject to market conditions.
The new notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 101.8849 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.815 per share of common stock. The Company will settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if applicable, subject to the Company’s right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders may convert their notes under the following circumstances: (i) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (ii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the indenture relating to the notes; or (iii) after April 15, 2010. The Company determined that the conversion option based on a trading price condition meets the definition of a derivative, and should be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately. However, the fair value of this feature was determined to be de minimis at the date of issuance and the Company continues to evaluate the significance of this feature on a quarterly basis.
The notes will mature on April 15, 2024. Beginning April 15, 2010, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, for cash at a price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes that occurs prior to April 15, 2010, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to cash and shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate, an additional number of shares of common stock, in each case as described in the indenture. Notwithstanding these conversion rate adjustments, these notes contain an explicit limit on the number of shares issuable upon conversion. Holders may require the Company to repurchase the notes for cash on April 15, of 2010, 2014 and 2019 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, each holder may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The notes are the Company’s unsecured obligations, will be subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated obligations. The notes also will be effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
Included in other assets as of December 31, 2007 were $3.6 million of debt issuance costs associated with the zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes, which will be amortized ratably through 2010.

The tax effects of temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows (in millions):

Net deferred tax asset (liability) | $ | (0.2 | ) | $ | 2.9 | |||
A valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets, with the exception of deferred tax assets at certain foreign subsidiaries, as management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $12.3 million of valuation allowance related to stock option deductions, which, if realized, will be accounted for as an addition to equity rather than as a reduction to the provision for income taxes.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) were $848.6 million, $915.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. If not utilized, these NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2009 through 2026. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, the utilization of NOLs and other tax attributes may be subject to substantial limitations if certain ownership changes occur during a three-year testing period (as defined by the Internal Revenue Code). During 2006, such an ownership change occurred, limiting the use of federal NOL’s to approximately $93.1 million per year.
The Company reviews the collectibility of its tax receivables due from various jurisdictions and when recovery is uncertain, the Company reserves amounts deemed to be uncollectible. If the receipts of these amounts occur or are assured, the reversal of the reserves previously established would result in a tax benefit in the period. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had no allowances for tax receivables.
The 2007 provision included $9.9 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of the Company’s foreign operations and $5.1 million of new reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by the reversal of $7.3 million of previously accrued income taxes for anticipated audit issues.
During 2007, the Company reassessed its intentions regarding repatriation of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries, concluding that except for certain earnings that the Company intends to reinvested indefinitely, provisions will be made for the estimated U.S. federal income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. Undistributed earnings of approximately $447.4 million at December 31, 2007, have been indefinitely reinvested; therefore, no provision has been made for taxes due upon remittance of these earnings. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable.
The 2006 provision included $6.4 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of the Company’s foreign operations and $1.9 million of new reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by the reversal of $7.4 million of previously accrued income taxes for anticipated audit issues.

The 2005 provision included $6.1 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign operations and $7.6 million of new reserves for potential liabilities in foreign taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by the reversal of $9.5 million of previously accrued income taxes for anticipated audit issues and the reversal of a $2.7 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for one of the Company’s Japanese subsidiaries that returned to profitability.
Note 11: Redeemable Preferred Stock
On November 10, 2005, the Company entered into a Conversion and Termination Agreement with an affiliate of TPG to convert the Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “preferred stock”), as described below, into 49.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock. To induce the conversion, the Company issued 3.9 million shares of common stock to the affiliate of TPG, which resulted in a $20.4 million reduction to net income applicable to common stock in 2005, based on the fair value of the inducement shares on November 10, 2005. Following the conversion, none of the authorized shares of the preferred stock remained outstanding. On February 17, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved that no series or class of the preferred stock will be issued under the Certificate of Designations and authorized the filing of a certificate of elimination for the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The Company has 100,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. On September 7, 2001, the Company issued 10,000 shares of the preferred stock with a stated value of $100.0 million to an affiliate of TPG. As of the issuance date, the preferred stock was convertible into 35,460,993 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.82 per share (subject to specified anti-dilution provisions) and was redeemable at the holder’s option any time after September 7, 2009. During the periods the preferred stock was outstanding, the preferred stock had a cumulative dividend payable quarterly in cash, at the rate of 8.0% per annum (or, if greater during the relevant quarterly period, in an amount equal to the value of the dividends that would be paid on the common stock then issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock), compounded to the extent not paid, and subject to restrictions under the Company’s senior bank facilities and other documents relating to the Company’s indebtedness. There were $9.2 million of preferred stock dividends that accrued during the year ended December 31, 2005.
The Company was required to accrete the value of the preferred stock to its redemption value and record such accretion using a straight-line method over the remaining period until the earliest available redemption date of September 7, 2009. Such accretion, which was influenced by changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock, adjusted net income applicable to common stock during the periods the preferred stock was outstanding. During 2005, previously recognized accretion charges of $1.0 million were reversed as a result of the conversion.
Note 12: Common Stock, Treasury Stock and Net Income Per Share
On April 6, 2006, the Company completed a public offering of common stock registered pursuant to a shelf registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2004. In connection with this offering, the Company issued approximately 11.2 million shares (which includes 0.7 million shares issued as over-allotments) at a price of $7.00 per share. The net proceeds from this offering received by the Company were $76.1 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.6 million ($0.14 per share) and offering expenses of $0.4 million. The Company used the net proceeds to partially fund the purchase of LSI’s Gresham wafer fabrication facility, which had a total purchase price of $105 million. See further discussion in Note 6 “Acquisitions.”
In May 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 500 million shares to 600 million shares.

generated income when the preferred stock was outstanding, the two-class method was used to calculate basic net income per share whereby net income, adjusted for the accretion to redemption value and dividends related to the Company’s preferred stock, is allocated on a pro-rata basis between common and preferred stockholders, as required by Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 03-6, due to the preferred stockholders’ right to participate in dividends declared on the Company’s common stock.
Diluted net income per share generally would assume the conversion of the preferred stock into common stock if dilutive and also incorporates the incremental impact of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and upon the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes. However, since basic net income per share under the two-class method is lowered due to the allocation of undistributed net income to preferred stockholders in periods the preferred stock was outstanding, the impact to diluted net income per share of the assumed conversion of the convertible redeemable preferred stock into common stock will generally be anti-dilutive, and therefore was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share during periods the preferred stock was outstanding.
The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. In determining diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 the assumed conversion of 41.1 million shares of the preferred stock were excluded as the related impacts would have been anti-dilutive.
Common shares relating to the employee stock options where the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares or the assumed exercise would have been anti-dilutive during these periods were also excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation. The excluded option shares were 7.2 million, 12.6 million and 12.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
As a result of the July 2006 exchange offer (see Note 9 “Long-Term Debt” for discussion), the zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 are convertible into cash up to the par value of $260.0 million, based on conversion price of $9.82 per share. The excess of fair value over par value is convertible into stock. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company’s common stock traded below $9.82; thus, the effects of an assumed conversion would have been anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded during the periods subsequent to the exchange offer. For the periods prior to the exchange offer, the assumed conversion of the zero coupon convertible senior subordinated notes into 26.5 million shares was included in determining diluted net income per share.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, the assumed conversion of the 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes was also excluded in determining diluted net income per share. The 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes are convertible into cash up to the par value of $95.0 million, based on a conversion price of $7.00 per share. The excess of fair value over par value is convertible into stock. As of December 31, 2005 the Company’s common stock traded below $7.00; thus, the effects of an assumed conversion would have been anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded.
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the assumed conversion of the 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes was also excluded in determining diluted net income per share. The 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes are convertible into cash up to the par value of $484.0 million, based on a conversion price of $10.50 per share. The excess of fair value over par value is convertible into stock. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company’s common stock traded below $10.50; thus, the effects of an assumed conversion would have been anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded.

Treasury Stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity (deficit) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company used proceeds from the issuance of its 2.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2026 and cash on hand to repurchase 40,415,970 shares of its common stock during 2006. Of this total, 9,749,303 shares of the Company’s Common stock was repurchased from TPG at a price of $7.18 per share. This per share purchase price represented a discount of approximately 3% from the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the execution of the related purchase agreement between TPG and the Company. Additionally, the Company used cash on hand to repurchase 5,000,000 shares of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2007, at a price of $11.05 per share. These shares were acquired for general corporate purposes and none of these shares had been reissued or retired as of December 31, 2007.
Note 13: Employee Stock Benefit Plans
Employee Stock Options
The Company adopted the ON Semiconductor 1999 Founders Stock Option Plan (“the 1999 Plan”), which is an incentive plan for key employees, directors and consultants. A total of 11.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which is authorized to, among other things, select the key employees, directors and consultants who will receive grants and determine the exercise prices and vesting schedules of the options. Prior to the existence of a public market for the Company’s common stock, the Board of Directors determined fair market value of the share based payment awards to be granted under the 1999 Plan.
On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2000 Plan”) which provides key employees, directors and consultants with various equity-based incentives as described in the plan document. The 2000 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which is authorized to determine, among other things, the key employees, directors or consultants who will receive awards under the plan, the amount and type of award, exercise prices or performance criteria, if applicable, and vesting schedules. Through December 31, 2004, stockholders had approved amendments to the 2000 Plan which have increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and available for grant to 30.5 million, plus an additional number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 3% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock effective automatically on January 1st of each year beginning January 1, 2005 and ending January 1, 2010. As of January 1, 2008 and 2007, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and available for grant increased by 8.8 million and 8.6 million, respectively to 64.9 million and 56.1 million, respectively, from 47.5 million shares as of December 31, 2005, in accordance with the approved amendments. The 2000 Plan has also been amended to increase the maximum number of options granted to any one participant during a fiscal year from 1.0 million shares to 2.5 million, and to allow the Board of Directors to adopt a program of exchanging underwater options for newly issued options.
Generally, the options granted under both plans vest over a period of four years and have a term of 10 years. Under the 1999 Plan, all outstanding options and under the 2000 Plan certain outstanding options vest automatically upon a change of control, as defined in the plan document, provided the option holder is employed by the Company on the date of the change in control. Under the 2000 Plan, certain other outstanding options vest upon a change of control if the Board of Directors of the Company, at its discretion, provides for acceleration of the vesting of said options. Upon the termination of an option holder’s employment, all unvested options will immediately terminate and vested options will generally remain exercisable for a period of 90 days after the date of termination (one year in the case of death or disability), unless otherwise specified in an option holder’s employment or stock option agreement.

There was an aggregate of 21.0 million and 18.5 million shares of common stock available for grant under both plans at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Subject to local legal requirements, each of the Company’s eligible employees has the right to elect to have up to 10% of their payroll applied towards the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of such shares as determined under the plan. Employees are limited to annual purchases of $25,000 under this plan. In addition, during each quarterly offering period, employees may not purchase stock exceeding the lesser of (i) 500 shares, or (ii) the number of shares equal to $6,250 divided by the fair market value of the stock on the first day of the offering period. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 employees purchased approximately 641,800 and 634,777 shares under the plan, respectively. Through December 31, 2004, shareholders have approved amendments to the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which have increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable thereunder to 8.5 million shares. As of December 31, 2007, there were 2.2 million shares available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company’s stock compensation plan permits the granting of restricted stock units to eligible employees and non-employee directors at fair market value at the date of the grant. Restricted stock units vest over three to four years or based on the achievement of certain performance criteria and are payable in shares of the Company’s stock upon vesting.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company issued 265,000 restricted stock units to certain officers of the Company that vest upon the achievement of certain performance criteria. The number of units vesting is evaluated each reporting period and compensation expense is recognized for those units for which issuance is probable. As of December 31, 2007, the Company determined that it was probable that all performance criteria would be met by the end of the third quarter of 2008. Accordingly, compensation expense of $0.8 million was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2007 in conjunction with these units.
The following table presents a summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock units granted to certain officers and directors of the Company as of December 31, 2007, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2007 (number of shares in millions):
Year Ended December 31, 2007 | ||||||

Nonvested shares of restricted stock units at December 31, 2006 | 0.3 | $ | 6.21 | |||

As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $11.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units granted under the plan; of this total approximately $2.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the performance based restricted stock units. The cost is expected

to be recognized over the vesting period; for restricted stock units with performance criteria expense will be recognized over the period the performance criteria is met. Compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Share-Based Compensation Information under SFAS No. 123R
The fair value of each option grant in 2006 and thereafter is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model. In years prior to 2005, the Company has used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of its options. The lattice-based model uses: 1) a constant volatility; 2) an employee exercise behavior model (based on an analysis of historical exercise behavior); and 3) the treasury yield curve to calculate the fair value of each option grant.
The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $3.72 and $2.90 per share, respectively, and was calculated using the lattice-based model with the following weighted-average assumptions (annualized percentages):
Year Ended December 31, 2007 | Year Ended December 31, 2006 | |||||
Volatility | 41.9 | % | 49.2 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.4 | % | 4.8 | % | ||
Post-vesting forfeiture rate | 8.0 | % | 9.2 | % | ||
Rate of exercise | 36.3 | % | 28.5 | % |
The Company used implied volatility of market — traded options of the Company’s stock exclusively for the expected volatility assumption input to the lattice-based model. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the Company’s employee stock options. The Company has historically not declared dividends, thus the dividend yield was assumed to be zero in the lattice-based model. The post-vesting forfeiture rate and rate of exercise factor are based on the Company’s historical option cancellation and employee exercise information, respectively. The rate of exercise indicates the annual rate at which vested, in-the-money options have historically been exercised.
The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is a derived output of the lattice-based model. The expected life of employee stock options is impacted by all of the underlying assumptions used in the Company’s model. The lattice-based model assumes that employees’ exercise behavior is a function of the option’s remaining contractual life and the extent to which the option is in-the-money (i.e., the average stock price during the period is above the strike price of the stock option). The lattice-based model estimates the probability of exercise as a function of these two variables based on the history of exercises and cancellations on past option grants made by the Company. The expected life for options granted during the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 derived from the lattice-based model was 4.2 years and 4.0 years, respectively.
In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year 2006 and thereafter is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Pre-vesting forfeitures were estimated to be approximately 12% and 13% in the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of shares issued under the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The weighted-average fair value of shares issued under the

(1) | Most of the Company’s share-based compensation relates to its domestic subsidiaries which have historically experienced recurring net operating losses; therefore, no related income tax benefits are expected. |
The Company recorded $6.4 million in share-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2007, related to share-based awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2007. This included expense related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2007, and $2.6 million and $2.3 million of expense related to awards of restricted stock units and stock options, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net stock options, after forfeitures and cancellations, granted during the year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 represented 1.7% and 1.3% of outstanding shares as of the beginning of each such fiscal year, respectively. Total stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 represented 2.1% and 2.0% of outstanding shares as of the end of each such fiscal year, respectively.
At December 31, 2007, total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date was $22.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $67.2 million. The Company recorded cash received from the exercise of stock options of $42.0 million and cash from issuance of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $4.8 million and no related tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2007. Upon option exercise or completion of a purchase under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan the Company issues new shares of stock.

Pro Forma Information under SFAS No. 123 for the year ended December 31, 2005
Prior to adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recorded estimated compensation expense for employee stock options based upon their intrinsic value on the date of grant pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and provided the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123. Because the Company established the exercise price based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, the stock options had no intrinsic value upon grant, and therefore no estimated expense was recorded prior to adopting SFAS No. 123R. The impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, versus following the former accounting under APB 25, reduced income from operations, pre tax income and net income by $10.2 million and also reduced basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.03.

Note 14: Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
Benefits under all of the Company’s plans are valued utilizing the projected unit credit cost method. The Company’s policy is to fund its defined benefit plans in accordance with local requirements and regulations. The Company expects to contribute $2.3 million in 2008. As discussed below, the 2008 funding is primarily driven by the Company’s current assessment of the economic environment and projected benefit payments of its foreign subsidiaries. The ON Semiconductor Grandfathered Pension Plan (the “Grandfathered Plan”) has been terminated, which termination was approved by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in 2005 and determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to adversely affect its qualification for federal tax purposes. All liabilities have been settled and all plan assets belonging to the Grandfathered Plan had been used to complete the termination as of December 31, 2005. The tables below reflect the final funding of the Grandfathered Plan and distribution of plan assets during 2005. The Company’s measurement date for determining its defined benefit obligations for all plans is December 31 of each year.
Certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries provide retirement plans for substantially all of their employees. Such plans conform to local practice in terms of providing minimum benefits mandated by law, collective agreements or customary practice. The assumed rate of return on plan assets for these plans for 2008 is 5.07%. The Company’s expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is updated at least annually, taking into consideration our asset allocation, historical returns on similar types of assets and the current economic environment. For estimation purposes, we assume our long-term asset mix will generally be consistent with the current mix.
The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses during the fourth quarter of each year, which is the period the Company’s annual pension plan actuarial valuations are prepared.

Defined Contribution Plans
The Company has a deferred compensation savings plan (“the Savings Plan”) for all eligible U.S. employees established under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees may contribute a percentage of their salary subject to certain limitations. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company elected to have a discretionary matching contribution of 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions and, if certain financial goals are achieved, up to an additional 50% of the next 6% of employee contributions. Beginning January 1, 2007, the Company elected to have a discretionary matching contribution of 100% of the first 4% of employee contributions. The Company recognized $5.9 million, $4.2 million and $3.8 million of expense relating to matching contributions in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Certain foreign subsidiaries have defined contribution plans in which eligible employees participate. The Company recognized compensation expense of $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million relating to these plans for the years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Note 15: Financial Instruments
Foreign Currencies
As a multinational business, the Company’s transactions are denominated in a variety of currencies. When appropriate, the Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on its results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s policy prohibits trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.

The Company primarily hedges existing assets and liabilities and cash flows associated with transactions currently on its balance sheet.
At December 31, 2006 the Company had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts in a buy position with a net notional amount of $14.0 million and at December 31, 2007 the Company had net foreign exchange contracts in a buy position with a net notional amount of $29.9 million. Such contracts were obtained through financial institutions and were scheduled to mature within three months. Management believes that these financial instruments should not subject the Company to increased risks from foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts, should offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities and transactions being hedged. The following schedule shows the Company’s net foreign exchange positions in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 (in millions):

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to its foreign exchange contracts fail to perform their obligations. At December 31, 2007, the counterparty on the Company’s foreign exchange contracts is a highly rated financial institution and no credit-related losses are anticipated. Amounts payable or receivable under the contracts are included in other current assets or accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. For 2007, 2006 and 2005, realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains (losses) totaled zero million, $(3.5) million and $(3.5) million, respectively.
Other
At December 31, 2007, the Company had no outstanding commodity derivatives, currency swaps or options relating to either its debt instruments or investments. The Company does not hedge the value of its equity investments in its subsidiaries or affiliated companies.
Note 16: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses the following methods to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.

Long-term Debt, Including Current Portion
The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are determined by obtaining quoted market prices if available or market prices for comparable debt instruments.
Interest Rate Agreements
The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps represent the amounts at which they could be settled and are estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers. The Company did not have any interest rate swap activity as of December 31, 2007.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows (in millions):

The Company’s existing leases do not contain significant restrictive provisions; however, certain leases contain renewal options and provisions for payment by the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Total rent expense associated with operating leases for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $9.2 million, $6.8 million, and $7.2 million, respectively.
Other Contingencies
The Company’s manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona is located on property that is a “Superfund” site, a property listed on the National Priorities List and subject to clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Motorola is actively involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent

decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of the August 4, 1999 recapitalization, Motorola has retained responsibility for this contamination, and has agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter.
Manufacturing facilities in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic have ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred during the years that these facilities were operated by government-owned entities. In each case, these remediation projects consist primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded at each of the respective locations. The governments of the Czech Republic and Slovakia have agreed to indemnify the Company and the respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Based upon the information available, total future remediation costs to the Company are not expected to be material.
The Company’s design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island is located on property that has localized soil contamination. In connection with the purchase of the facility, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not To Sue with the State of Rhode Island. This agreement requires that remedial actions be undertaken and a quarterly groundwater monitoring program be initiated by the former owners of the property. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter are not expected to be material.
Indemnification Contingencies
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require it to indemnify the other party against losses due to intellectual property infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, the Company’s negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.
The Company is a party to various agreements with Motorola which were entered into in connection with the Company’s separation from Motorola. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify Motorola for losses due to, for example, breach of representations and warranties and covenants, damages arising from assumed liabilities or relating to allocated assets, and for specified environmental matters. The Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and payment by the Company is conditioned on Motorola making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge Motorola’s claims.
The Company faces risk of exposure to warranty and product liability claims in the event that its products fail to perform as expected or such failure of its products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury or property damage (or both). In addition, if any of the Company’s designed products are alleged to be defective, the Company may be required to participate in their recall. In one particular case, the Company has agreed to indemnify a major customer for valid warranty claims on the Company’s products sold, not to exceed two and one half times the total annual sales.
In connection with the acquisition of the LSI’s Gresham, Oregon wafer fabrication facility, the Company entered into various agreements with LSI. Pursuant to certain of these agreements, the Company agreed to indemnify LSI for certain things limited in the most instances by time and/or monetary amounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
The Company and its subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
In addition to the above, from time to time the Company provides standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with sales of its securities and the engagement of financial advisors and also provides indemnities that protect the counterparties to these contracts in the event they suffer damages as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or in certain other circumstances relating to the sale of securities or their engagement by the Company.
While the Company’s future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other agreements do not contain such limitations and under such agreements it is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not believe that any amounts that it may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Legal Matters
The Company currently involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the matters described or referred to in the next paragraphs, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Securities Class Action Litigation.During the period July 5, 2001 through July 27, 2001, the Company was named as a defendant in three shareholder class action lawsuits that were filed in federal court in New York City against the Company and certain of the Company’s former officers, current and former directors and the underwriters for the Company’s initial public offering. The lawsuits allege violations of the federal securities laws and have been docketed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as: Abrams v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No 01-CV-6114; Breuer v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6287; and Cohen v. ON Semiconductor Corp., et al., C.A. No. 01-CV-6942 (“District Court”). On April 19, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a single consolidated amended complaint that supersedes the individual complaints originally filed. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering improperly required their customers to pay the underwriters’ excessive commissions and to agree to buy additional shares of the Company’s common stock in the aftermarket as conditions of receiving shares in the Company’s initial public offering. The amended complaint further alleges that these supposed practices of the underwriters should have been disclosed in the Company’s initial public offering prospectus and registration statement. The amended complaint alleges violations of both the registration and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and seeks unspecified damages. The Company understands that various other plaintiffs have filed substantially similar class action cases against approximately 300 other publicly-traded companies and their public offering underwriters in New York City, which have all been transferred, along with the case against the Company, to a single federal district court judge for purposes of coordinated case management. The Company believes that the claims against the Company are without merit and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
have defended, and intend to continue to defend, the litigation vigorously. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, however, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of these claims will be favorable for the Company.
On July 15, 2002, together with the other issuer defendants, the Company filed a collective motion to dismiss the consolidated, amended complaints against the issuers on various legal grounds common to all or most of the issuer defendants. The underwriters also filed separate motions to dismiss the claims against them. In addition, the parties have stipulated to the voluntary dismissal without prejudice of the Company’s individual former officers and current and former directors who were named as defendants in the Company’s litigation, and they are no longer parties to the litigation. On February 19, 2003, the District Court issued its ruling on the motions to dismiss filed by the underwriter and issuer defendants. In that ruling the District Court granted in part and denied in part those motions. As to the claims brought against the Company under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws, the District Court dismissed all of these claims with prejudice, and refused to allow plaintiffs the opportunity to re-plead these claims. As to the claims brought under the registration provisions of the securities laws, which do not require that intent to defraud be pleaded, the District Court denied the motion to dismiss these claims as to the Company and as to substantially all of the other issuer defendants as well. The District Court also denied the underwriter defendants’ motion to dismiss in all respects.
In June 2003, upon the determination of a special independent committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, The Company elected to participate in a proposed settlement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. Had it been approved by the District Court, this proposed settlement would have resulted in the dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims in the litigation against the Company and against any of the other issuer defendants who elected to participate in the proposed settlement, together with the current or former officers and directors of participating issuers who were named as individual defendants. This proposed settlement was conditioned on, among other things, a ruling by the District Court that the claims against the Company and against the other issuers who had agreed to the settlement would be certified for class action treatment for purposes of the proposed settlement, such that all investors included in the proposed classes in these cases would be bound by the terms of the settlement unless an investor opted to be excluded from the settlement in a timely and appropriate fashion.
On December 5, 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (“Court of Appeals”) issued a decision inIn re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation that six purported class action lawsuits containing allegations substantially similar to those asserted against the Company could not be certified as class actions due, in part, to the Court of Appeals’ determination that individual issues of reliance and knowledge would predominate over issues common to the proposed classes. On January 8, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a petition seeking rehearing en banc of this ruling. On April 6, 2007 the Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing of the Court of Appeals’ December 5, 2006 ruling. The Court of Appeals, however, noted that the plaintiffs remained free to ask the District Court to certify classes different from the ones originally proposed which might meet the standards for class certification that the Court of Appeals articulated in its December 5, 2006 decision. The plaintiffs have since moved for certification of different classes in the District Court.
In light of the Court of Appeals’ December 5, 2006 decision regarding certification of the plaintiffs’ claims, the District Court entered an order on June 25, 2007 terminating the proposed settlement between the plaintiffs and the issuers, including the Company. Because any possible future settlement with the plaintiffs, if a settlement were ever to be negotiated and ultimately agreed to, would involve the certification of a class action for settlement purposes, the impact of the Court of Appeals’ rulings on the possible future settlement of the claims against the Company cannot now be predicted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued
On October 1, 2007, the plaintiffs submitted their briefing in support of their motions to certify different classes in the six focus cases. The issuer defendants and the underwriter defendants filed separate oppositions to those motions on December 21, 2007. The motions to certify classes in the six focus cases are not yet fully briefed and remain pending. In addition, on August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. On November 13, 2007, the issuer defendants moved to dismiss the claims against them in the amended complaints in the six focus cases. The underwriter defendants have also moved to dismiss the claims against them in the amended complaints in the six focus cases. Those motions to dismiss are not yet fully briefed and remain pending.
Now that the proposed settlement has been terminated, the Company intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. While the Company can make no promises or guarantees as to the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that the final result of this action will have no material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Intellectual Property Matter
The Company faces risk to exposure from claims of infringement of the intellectual property rights of others. In the ordinary course of business, the Company receives letters asserting that its products or components breach another party’s rights. These threats may seek that the Company make royalty payments, that we stop use of such rights, or other remedies. The Company is in binding arbitration on one such claim under an existing license agreement. The arbitration hearing occurred late last year and the panel expects to render its final decision sometime before April 11, 2008, at which time the panel will determine if the Company must pay the licensor accrued and/or future royalty payments. The Company believes it has credible defenses to this claim. The Company estimates that the amount of disputed royalties at December 31, 2007 was approximately $9.1 million, with future royalties accruing at the rate of approximately $2 million per quarter (the patent under which the claims have been made, however, expires on or about July 23, 2008). The Company believes that, even if it were required to make these royalty payments, the payment of any accrued royalty due and related costs and expenses would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity, and the payment of any future royalties not yet earned would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s related ongoing results of operations.
Note 18: Related Party Transactions
As described in Note 1 “Background and Basis of Presentation”, on August 4, 1999, certain related transactions were effected pursuant to an agreement among the Company, SCI LLC and TPG. As of December 31, 2006, TPG owned approximately 33%, or 95.4 million shares, of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2007, TPG sold all its remaining shares of the Company’s common stock
In connection with the amendment to the Company’s senior bank facilities in August 2001, any management fees payable to TPG or its affiliates by the Company will not accrue and not be payable in cash until the Company’s quarterly financial statements demonstrate that certain financial ratios have been achieved. TPG subsequently agreed that these fees will not accrue during the period in which the Company was not permitted to pay such fees in cash. During 2004, no TPG management fee was paid or accrued. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company met the requisite conditions under its amended debt agreements to allow for such annual management fee to resume. However, no services were performed by TPG during the fourth quarter of 2004, and accordingly no annual management fees were accrued for or paid during the year. Subsequent to December 31, 2004, TPG waived the right to any future management fee subject to the Company paying certain costs and expenses associated with a resale shelf registration statement of the Company’s common stock presently owned by TPG.

During 2005, the Company incurred $0.3 million of costs and expenses associated with the conversion of the redeemable preferred stock held by TPG into approximately 49.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of approximately 3.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock to TPG for the related inducement. During 2007, the Company incurred $0.2 million of costs and expenses on behalf of TPG in connection with prospectus supplements and private offerings for the sale of approximately 95.4 million shares of the Company’s stock, which were owned by TPG, as described in Note 12 “Common Stock, Treasury Stock and Net Income Per Share”.
During 2007 and 2006 the Company repurchased common stock from TPG, as described in Note 12 “Common Stock, Treasury Stock and Net Income Per Share.”

On November 10, 2005, the Company’s preferred stock was converted into approximately 49.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock with approximately 3.9 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock issued to induce the conversion. See Note 11 “Redeemable Preferred Stock” for further discussion. The preferred stock had a book value of $131.1 million as of December 31, 2004. The fair value of the inducement shares on November 10, 2005 was $20.4 million.
Note 20: Segment Information
In May 2006, the Company announced a change in its organizational structure and organized into five operating segments, which also represent five reporting segments: automotive and power regulation, computing, digital and consumer, standard products and manufacturing services. Each of the Company’s major product lines has been examined and each product line has been assigned to a segment, as illustrated in the table below, based on the Company’s operating strategy. Because many products are sold into different end markets, the total revenue reported for a segment is not indicative of actual sales in the end market associated with that segment, but rather is the sum of the revenue from the product lines assigned to that segment. The Company’s manufacturing services, in which the Company manufactures parts for other semiconductor companies, principally in the newly acquired Gresham, Oregon facility, are reported in the manufacturing services segment. These segments represent the Company’s view of the business and as such are used to evaluate progress of major incentives. Information related to periods prior to this change has been revised as described below to conform to the current presentation.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on income or loss from operations before interest, nonrecurring gains and losses, foreign exchange gains and losses, income taxes restructuring, asset impairments and other, net and certain other unallocated manufacturing and operating expenses.
The Company’s wafer manufacturing facilities fabricate integrated circuits for all business units as necessary and their operating costs are reflected in the segments’ cost of revenues on the basis of product costs. Because operating segments are generally defined by the products they design and sell, they do not make sales to each other. The Company does not discretely allocate assets to its operating segments, nor does management evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.
In addition to the operating and reporting segments mentioned above, the Company also operates global operations, sales and marketing, information systems, finance and administration groups that are led by vice presidents who report to the Chief Executive Officer. A portion of the expenses of these groups are allocated to the segments based on specific and general criteria and are included in the operating results reported below. The Company does not allocate income taxes or interest expense to its operating segments as the operating segments are principally evaluated on operating profit before interest and taxes. Additionally, restructuring, asset impairments and other, net and certain other manufacturing and operating expenses, which includes corporate research and development costs, unallocated inventory reserves and miscellaneous nonrecurring expenses, are not allocated to any segment.
Revenues, gross profit and operating income for the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 are as follows (in millions):

Certain operating expenses are not allocated to the reportable segments. The increase in unallocated operating expenses from $6.7 million in 2006 to $25.3 million in 2007 was primarily due to increased costs to develop new products in our Gresham wafer fabrication facility that impact all reportable segments.
Certain costs incurred during the manufacturing process are not allocated to the reportable segments. The decrease in unallocated manufacturing costs from $51.8 million in 2005 to $31.2 million in 2006 was due primarily to manufacturing costs we continued to incur at the East Greenwich, Rhode Island manufacturing facility in 2005 beyond the original anticipated closure date of that facility, which were not allocated to the reportable segments. Similar costs were not incurred during 2006 due to the completion of the closure in 2005.
The Company operates in various geographic locations. Sales to unaffiliated customers have little correlation with the location of manufacturers. It is, therefore, not meaningful to present operating profit by geographic location. The Company conducts a substantial portion of its operations outside of the United States and is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. operations, such as political risks, currency controls and fluctuations, tariffs, import controls and air transportation.
