History and development of STMicroelectronics
|
STMicroelectronics N.V. (“STMicroelectronics”, “ST” or ‘‘the Company’’) is a global leader in the semiconductor market serving customers across the spectrum of Sense & Power and Automotive products and Embedded Processing Solutions. From energy management and savings to trust and data security, from healthcare and wellness to smart consumer devices, in the home, car and office, at work and at play, ST is found everywhere microelectronics make a positive and innovative contribution to people’s life.
STMicroelectronics N.V. was formed and incorporated in 1987 and resulted from the combination of the semiconductor business of SGS Microelettronica (then owned by Società Finanziaria Telefonica (S.T.E.T.), an Italian corporation) and the non-military business of Thomson Semiconducteurs (then owned by the former Thomson-CSF, now Thales, a French corporation). We completed our initial public offering in December 1994 with simultaneous listings on the Bourse de Paris (now known as “Euronext Paris”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In 1998, we also listed our shares on the Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (“Borsa Italiana”).
|
1.2.
|
Strategy & objectives
|
Our strategy, which we announced on December 10, 2012, takes into account the evolution of the markets we are in and the environment and opportunities we see in the years to come. It is based on our leadership in our two product segments: (i) Sense & Power and Automotive Products (“SP&A”) comprised of Automotive (“APG”), Industrial & Power Discrete (“IPD”), Analog & MEMS (“AMS”) and Other SP&A; and (ii) Embedded Processing Solutions (“EPS”) comprised of Digital Convergence Group (“DCG”), Imaging, Bi-CMOS ASIC and Silicon Photonics (“IBP”), Microcontrollers, Memory & Secure MCU (“MMS”) and Other EPS. Each segment is supported by a Sales & Marketing organization with a particular focus on our major accounts, as well as on expanding our penetration of the mass market.
Furthermore, we focus on five growth drivers: (i) Automotive Products, which make driving safer, greener and more entertaining; (ii) Digital Consumer and ASIC Products, which power the augmented digital lifestyle; (iii) MEMS and Sensors, which augment the consumer experience; (iv) Microcontrollers, which make everything smarter and more secure; and (v) Smart Power, which makes more of our energy resources. These product families are expected to experience solid growth rates driven by secular trends and are aligned with our market leading positions and competitive advantages. Our innovative products in these areas, combined with our competitive technology and flexible and independent manufacturing capabilities, bring us even more opportunities to significantly grow and gain market share.
We continue to advance towards our target financial model, expected by mid-2015, based on a combination of revenue growth, gross margin improvement and reduction of net operating expenses.
|
1.3.
|
Organizational structure
|
STMicroelectronics is a global independent semiconductor company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of semiconductor products. We offer a diversified product portfolio and develop products for a wide range of market applications, including automotive products, computer peripherals, telecommunications systems, consumer products, industrial automation and control systems. Within our diversified portfolio, we have focused on developing products that leverage our technological strengths in creating customized, system-level solutions with high-growth digital and mixed-signal content.

|
STMicroelectronics Ÿ Semi Annual Report 2014
|
|
While STMicroelectronics N.V. is the parent company, we also conduct our operations through service activities from our subsidiaries. We provide certain administrative, human resources, legal, treasury, strategy, manufacturing, marketing and other overhead services to our consolidated subsidiaries pursuant to service agreements for which we recover the cost.
|
1.4.
|
Products and activities
|
We offer a broad and diversified product portfolio and develop products for a wide range of market applications to reduce our dependence on any single product, application or end market. Our product families are comprised of differentiated application specific products, that we define as our dedicated analog, mixed signal and digital application specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), as well as application-specific standard products (“ASSP”) offerings and semi-custom devices, that are organized under our two product segments, which are: (i) Sense & Power and Automotive Products (“SP&A”) and (ii) Embedded Processing Solutions (“EPS”).
Our products are manufactured and designed using a broad range of manufacturing processes and proprietary design methods. We use all of the prevalent function-oriented process technologies, including CMOS, bipolar and non-volatile memory technologies. In addition, by combining and enhancing basic processes, we have developed advanced systems-oriented technologies that enable us to produce differentiated and application-specific products, including bipolar CMOS technologies (“Bi-CMOS”) for mixed-signal applications, diffused metal on silicon oxide semiconductor (“DMOS”) technology, bipolar, CMOS and DMOS (“BCD”) technologies for intelligent power applications, and MEMS and embedded memory technologies. We are also developing fully-depleted silicon on insulator (‘‘FD-SOI’’) technology for lower power and high performance, with applications across a broad range of industries. This broad technology portfolio, a cornerstone of our strategy for many years, enables us to meet the increasing demand for System-on-Chip (“SoC”) and System-in-Package (“SiP”) solutions. Complementing this depth and diversity of process and design technology is our broad IP portfolio that we also use to enter into broad patent cross-licensing agreements with other major semiconductor companies.
Our principal investment and resource allocation decisions in the semiconductor business area are for expenditures on technology R&D as well as capital investments in front-end and back-end manufacturing facilities, which are planned at the corporate level. Therefore, our product segments share common R&D for process technology and manufacturing capacity for some of their products.
|
1.5.
|
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
|
Our sales organization is structured as a combination of country/area coverage and key accounts coverage, with four regional sales organizations and two major accounts units. The sales and marketing activities performed by our regional sales organizations are supported by product marketing that is carried out by each product group, which also includes product development functions. This matrix system reinforces our sales and marketing activities and our broader strategic objectives. An important component of our regional sales and marketing efforts is to expand our customer base, which we seek to do by adding sales representatives, regional competence centers and new generations of electronic tools for customer support.
|
1.6.
|
Research & Development
|
We believe that market driven research and development (“R&D”) founded on leading edge products and technologies is critical to our success. The main R&D challenge we face is continually increasing the functionality, speed and cost-effectiveness of our semiconductor devices, while ensuring that technological developments translate into profitable commercial products as quickly as possible.
We combine front-end manufacturing and technology R&D under the same organization for each of our SP&A and EPS segments to ensure a smooth flow of information between our R&D and manufacturing organizations, and we leverage on significant synergies and shared activities between our two segments to cross-fertilize both businesses. We manage our R&D projects by technology and by product segment. The relevant technology R&D expenses are allocated to the product segments on the basis of the estimated efforts.

The total available market is defined as the “TAM”, while the serviceable available market, the “SAM”, is defined as the market for products produced by us (which consists of the TAM and excludes major devices such as Microprocessors (“MPUs”), DRAMs, optoelectronics devices, Flash Memories and the Wireless Application Specific market (Broadband and Application Processor)).
Based on the most recent sales data published by WSTS, semiconductor industry revenues increased in the first half of 2014 on a year-over-year basis by approximately 11% for the TAM and 10% for the SAM to reach approximately $161 billion and $74 billion, respectively.
The Nano2017 program was approved by the European Union in the second quarter of 2014 and we, in our role as Coordinator and Project Leader of the R&D program, have been allocated an overall funding budget of about €400 million for the period 2013-2017, subject to the conclusion of agreements every year with the public authorities and linked to the achievement of technical parameters and objectives.
To strengthen our capital structure and significantly enhance our financial flexibility, we took advantage of favorable terms and raised $1 billion in July through a convertible bond offering. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes.
Our first half 2014 revenues amounted to $3,689 million, a 9% decrease on a year-over-year basis. This year-over-year revenues decrease is mainly due to the significant reduction of legacy ST-Ericsson products revenues following our decision to exit the ST-Ericsson joint venture. Excluding legacy ST-Ericsson products, our revenues decreased by approximately 1% in the first half of 2014 compared to the corresponding period of 2013.
Our first half 2014 gross margin reached 30.3% of revenues, representing an increase of 260 basis points compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower impairment and amortization charges of the capitalized development costs, benefit from manufacturing efficiencies and lower unused capacity charges, which were partially offset by declining selling prices and volumes.
Combined selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses amounted to $1,065 million for the first half of 2014, a significant decrease compared to $1,503 million in the prior year period, mainly due to the ST-Ericsson wind-down, the impact of our cost savings initiatives as well as a significant reduction of the impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs allocated to SG&A and R&D.
In the first half of 2014, our combined other income and expenses significantly increased to $119 million, compared to $5 million in the prior year period, mainly due to the higher level of R&D funding following the European Union approval of the Nano2017 program.
Our operating results improved from a loss of $376 million in the prior year to a profit of $170 million in the current year, principally due to improved manufacturing efficiencies, savings in operating expenses, lower amounts of impairment and restructuring charges and higher other income, partially offset by declining selling prices and volumes.
Our effective average exchange rate for the first half of 2014 was $1.36 for €1.00 compared to $1.30 for €1.00 for the first half of 2013.

We operate in two business areas: Semiconductors and Subsystems.
In the Semiconductors business area, we design, develop, manufacture and market a broad range of products, including discrete and standard commodity components, application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), full custom devices and semi-custom devices and application-specific standard products (“ASSPs”) for analog, digital, and mixed-signal applications. In addition, we further participate in the manufacturing value chain of Smartcard products, which includes the production and sale of both silicon chips and Smartcards.
In the Subsystems business area, we design, develop, manufacture and market subsystems and modules for the telecommunications, automotive and industrial markets including mobile phone accessories, battery chargers, ISDN power supplies and in-vehicle equipment for electronic toll payment. Based on its immateriality to its business as a whole, the Subsystems business area does not meet the requirements for a reportable segment. All the financial values related to Subsystems including net revenues and related costs, are reported in the segment “Others”.
Our segments are Sense & Power and Automotive Products (SP&A) and Embedded Processing Solutions (EPS). SP&A is comprised of Automotive (APG), Industrial & Power Discrete (IPD), Analog & MEMS (AMS) and Other SPA product lines while EPS is comprised of Digital Convergence Group (DCG), Imaging, BI-CMOS ASIC and Silicon Photonics (IBP), Microcontrollers, Memory & Secure MCU (MMS) and Other EPS product lines.

Liquidity and financial position
|
We maintain a significant cash position and a low debt-to-equity ratio, which provide us with adequate financial flexibility. As in the past, our cash management policy is to finance our investment needs mainly with net cash generated from operating activities.
During the first half of 2014, the evolution of our cash flow produced a decrease in our cash and cash equivalents of $334 million, due to the net cash used in investing activities and financing activities exceeding the net cash from operating activities.
The evolution of our cash flow for the comparable periods is set forth below:

Net cash from operating activities
The net cash from operating activities for the first half of 2014 was $315 million, increasing compared to the prior year period as a result of the increased net income adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by the unfavorable changes in assets and liabilities. Net cash from operating activities is the sum of (i) the net result adjusted for certain non-cash items and (ii) changes in assets and liabilities.

Report of the Managing Board 7
|
|
·
|
Net result adjusted for non-cash items generated $572 million of cash during the first half of 2014 compared to $244 million in the prior year period.
|
|
·
|
Changes in assets and liabilities used cash for a total amount of $257 million in the first half of 2014 while it generated cash for a total amount of $22 million in the prior year period. The first half of 2014 changes were represented by a negative trend in all the components of assets and liabilities. The negative impact of other assets and liabilities net was mainly due to the recognition of the Nano2017 grants not collected as of the end of the second quarter.
|
Net cash used in investing activities
Investing activities used $450 million of net cash in the first half of 2014, mainly due to investment in intangible assets for $228 million of which the largest part is related to capitalization of development costs. It is also due to payments for tangible assets and investments in short-term deposits for a total of $303 million, partially offset by the net cash from proceeds from the sale and/or redemption of our marketable securities for $57 million. Payments for the purchase of tangible assets totaled $253 million compared to $233 million registered in the prior year period. Investing activity in the first half of 2013 used $412 million of cash due mainly to payments for intangible and financial assets and tangible assets, partially offset by proceeds from the sale and/or redemption of current marketable securities.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $196 million in the first half of 2014 with a decrease compared to the $493 million used in the first half of 2013. The decrease in the net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the $455 million repayment of the residual outstanding 2013 Senior Bonds in the first half of 2013, partially offset by the proceeds from short-term borrowings for $145 million in the same period. The first half of 2014 amount included $175 million in dividends paid to stockholders compared to $164 million in the prior year period.
Financial position
As at June 28, 2014, our total financial resources, including cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits, amounted to $1,553 million and were comprised mainly of:
|
·
|
$1,502 million of cash and cash equivalents,
|
|
·
|
$51 million in short-term deposits.
|
As at June 28, 2014, the aggregate amount of our interest bearing loans and borrowings, including the current portion, was $1,130 million, which included:
|
·
|
$1,111 million in European Investment Bank loans (the “EIB Loans”),
|
|
·
|
$17 million in loans from other funding programs,
|
|
·
|
$2 million of finance leases liabilities.
|
The EIB Loans represent four long-term amortizing credit facilities as part of R&D funding programs. The first, for R&D in France, was drawn in U.S. dollars from 2006 to 2008, for a total amount of $341 million, of which $78 million remained outstanding as of June 28, 2014. The second for R&D projects in Italy, was drawn in U.S. dollars in 2008 for a total amount of $380 million, of which $163 million remained outstanding as of June 28, 2014. The third, signed in 2010, is a €350 million multi-currency loan to support our industrial and R&D programs. It was drawn mainly in U.S. dollars for an amount of $321 million and only partially in Euros for an amount of €100 million, of which the equivalent of $399 million remained outstanding as of June 28, 2014. The fourth, signed in the first quarter of 2013, is a €350 million multicurrency loan which also supports our R&D programs. It was drawn in U.S. dollars for an amount of $471 million, all of which is outstanding as of June 28, 2014. At June 28, 2014, the amounts available under our short-term lines of credit were unutilized.

On July 3, 2014, we issued $1,000 million principal amount of dual tranche senior unsecured convertible bonds (Tranche A for $600 million and Tranche B for $400 million), due 2019 and 2021, respectively, for net proceeds of approximately $995 million. Tranche A bonds were issued as zero-coupon bonds while Tranche B bonds bear a 1% per annum nominal interest, payable semi-annually. The conversion price at issuance is approximately $12, equivalent to a 30% and a 31% premium, respectively, on each tranche. The bonds are convertible by the bondholders if certain conditions are satisfied on a net-share settlement basis, except if an alternative settlement is elected by us. We can also redeem the bonds prior to their maturity in certain circumstances. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes.
On June 26, 2014 we also announced the launch of a share buy-back program for the purchase of up to 20 million ordinary shares, as authorized by our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 13, 2014. Purchases of shares will be made on the Borsa Italiana exclusively. The purchased shares will not be retired but are currently intended to meet our obligations in relation to the employee stock award plans.

Business and financial outlook for 2014
|
In the third quarter, we expect to see sequential revenue growth in all areas of our product portfolio. In SP&A, IPD and APG are expected to perform better than seasonal, benefiting from both the favorable macro-environment conditions as well as from our market position, and we also expect to see growth in AMS. In EPS, MMS is expected to moderately grow in the third quarter, after posting a record second quarter; our activities in Digital, including DCG and IBP, are also expected to grow. We expect third quarter 2014 revenues to increase about 3% on a sequential basis, plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Our policy is to modulate our capital spending according to the evolution of the semiconductor market. Based on current visibility on demand, we anticipate our capital expenditure to be approximately $510-550 million in 2014, to be adjusted based on demand thereafter. The most important of our 2014 capital expenditure projects are expected to be: (a) for our front-end facilities: (i) in our 300-mm fab in Crolles, technology evolution to consolidate the capability for 20-nm processes and mix evolution to support the production ramp up of new technologies for microcontrollers and automotive advanced products; (ii) a few selective programs of mix evolution, mainly in the area of analog processes; (iii) qualification of technologies in 200-mm in Singapore and Catania; and (iv) quality, safety, maintenance, and productivity and cost savings investments in both 150-mm and 200-mm front-end fabs; (b) for our back-end facilities, capital expenditures will mainly be dedicated to: (i) capacity growth on certain package families, to sustain market demand; (ii) modernization and rationalization of package lines targeting cost savings benefits; and (iii) specific investments in the areas of factory automation, quality, environment and energy savings; and (c) an overall capacity adjustment in final testing and wafers probing (EWS) to meet increased demand and changed product mix.
We will continue to monitor our level of capital spending by taking into consideration factors such as trends in the semiconductor industry and capacity utilization. We expect to need significant financial resources in the coming years for capital expenditures and for our investments in manufacturing and R&D. We plan to fund our capital requirements from cash provided by operating activities, available funds and support from third parties, and may have recourse to borrowings under available credit lines and, to the extent necessary or attractive based on market conditions prevailing at the time, the issuance of debt, convertible bonds or additional equity securities. A substantial deterioration of our economic results, and consequently of our profitability, could generate a deterioration of the cash generated by our operating activities. Therefore, there can be no assurance that, in future periods, we will generate the same level of cash as in prior years to fund our capital expenditure plans for expanding/upgrading our production facilities, our working capital requirements, our R&D and manufacturing costs.
In support of our R&D activities, we signed the Nano2017 program with the French government, which was approved by the European Union in the second quarter of 2014 and, in our role as Coordinator and Project Leader of the R&D program, we have been allocated an overall funding budget of about €400 million for the period 2013-2017, subject to the conclusion of agreements every year with the public authorities and linked to the achievement of technical parameters and objectives.

As a result of our exit from the ST-Ericsson joint venture, our exposure is limited to covering 50% of ST-Ericsson’s needs to complete the wind-down, which are estimated to be negligible, based on our current visibility of the ST-Ericsson liquidation balance.
We believe that we have the financial resources needed to meet our currently projected business requirements for the next twelve months, including capital expenditures for our manufacturing activities, working capital requirements, approved dividend payments and the repayment of our debts in line with their maturity dates.
This outlook is based on an assumed effective currency exchange rate of approximately $1.355 = €1.00 for the 2014 third quarter and includes the impact of existing hedging contracts.

Financial Risk Management
|
STMicroelectronics and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”) are exposed to changes in financial market conditions in the normal course of business due to its operations in different foreign currencies and its ongoing investing and financing activities. The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. See note 3.6.9 of the Semi Annual Financial Statements for further information.
Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Corporate Treasury). Simultaneously, a Treasury Committee, chaired by the CFO, steers treasury activities and ensures compliance with corporate policies. Treasury activities are thus regulated by the Company’s policies, which define procedures, objectives and controls. The policies focus on the management of financial risk in terms of exposure to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Treasury controls are subject to internal audits. Most treasury activities are centralized, with any local treasury activities subject to oversight from head treasury office. Corporate Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units. It provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, price risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments, and investments of excess liquidity. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is held in U.S. dollars and Euros and is placed with financial institutions rated at least a single “A” long-term rating from two of the major rating agencies, meaning at least A3 from Moody’s Investor Service and A- from Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings, or better. Marginal amounts are held in other currencies. Foreign currency operations and hedging transactions are performed only to hedge exposures deriving from industrial and commercial activities.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the group’s annual financial statements as at December 31, 2013. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year end.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group conducts its business on a global basis in various major international currencies. As a result, the Group is exposed to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily with respect to the Euro and the Singapore dollar. Foreign exchange risk mainly arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities at the Group’s subsidiaries.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates, whose amount is currently negligible, expose the Group to fair value risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables and loan notes) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities, the availability of funding from committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group’s objective is to maintain a significant cash position and a low debt to equity ratio, which ensure adequate financial flexibility. Liquidity management policy is to finance the Group’s investments with net cash provided from operating activities. Compared to year end, there was no material change in the contractual undiscounted cash out flows for financial liabilities.

Corporate information
|
STMicroelectronics N.V. is organized under the laws of the Netherlands with its corporate legal seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and head offices at WTC Schiphol Airport, Schiphol Boulevard 265, 1118 BH Schiphol, the Netherlands. Our headquarters and operational offices are managed through STMicroelectronics International N.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics N.V., and are located at 39, chemin du Champ des Filles, 1228 Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Switzerland.
STMicroelectronics and its subsidiaries are a global independent semiconductor group that designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of semiconductor integrated circuits (“ICs”) and discrete devices. The Group offers a diversified product portfolio and develops products for a wide range of market applications, including automotive products, computer peripherals, telecommunications systems, consumer products, industrial automation and control systems. Within its diversified portfolio, the Group has focused on developing products that leverage its technological strengths in creating customized, system-level solutions with high-growth digital and mixed-signal content.
STMicroelectronics is a publicly traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, on Euronext Paris and on the Borsa Italiana (Italian Stock Exchange).
These unaudited Semi-Annual Financial Statements were approved for issue by the Supervisory Board on August 21, 2014.
|
3.6.2.
|
Basis of preparation
|
These unaudited Semi-Annual Financial Statements for the six-month period ended June 28, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’, as adopted in the European Union.
The unaudited Semi-Annual Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted in the European Union, filed with the AFM (Autoriteit Financiële Markten) on April 28, 2014 and adopted by our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 13, 2014.
|
3.6.3.
|
Significant accounting policies
|
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Semi-Annual Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. The adoption of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations effective from January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on the Group’s Semi-Annual Financial Statements.
Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: In 2014 the IASB completed its comprehensive work on the replacement of IAS 39, which included three phases: classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, with the issuance of the original IFRS 9; impairment of financial assets; and hedge accounting, with the issuance of the corresponding amendment to IFRS 9. The final standard has not yet been endorsed by the European Union. The adoption of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, together with the assessment of their impairment but will potentially have no impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. The new approach to hedge accounting will also have an effect on the way hedged transactions and derivatives designated as hedging instruments are reported. The Group is reviewing the effect the comprehensive version of IFRS 9 will have on its financial position and performance.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers: the new converged standard on revenue recognition sets forth a single revenue accounting model, which calls to more professional judgment and includes expanded disclosures. According to the new guidance, revenue recognition depicts the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for these goods and services. Revenue is recognized when (or as) control of the goods and services is transferred to the customer. Even if IFRS 15 is not a five-step model, the following steps can be identified in order to apply the new revenue accounting model: (i) identification of the contracts with customers; (ii) identification of the purchase obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to purchase obligations and; (v) revenue recognition for each purchase obligation. IFRS 15, which has not been ratified by the European Union yet, will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The areas on which IFRS 15 may create significant changes are: (i) changes in the timing of revenue recognition; (ii) inclusion of variable consideration in the transaction price; (iii) allocation of the transaction price based on standalone selling prices. The Group will adopt IFRS 15 when effective and is currently assessing its impact on existing contracts, transactions and business practices.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (amendment) – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations: the amendment requires the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business to apply all the principles on business combinations accounting in IFRS 3 Business Combinations and other IFRSs, except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11. The effective date of the amendment is January 1, 2016 but the amendment has not been endorsed yet by the European Union. The Group will adopt the amendment when effective. No significant impact is expected on the Group’s financial position or performance.
IAS 19 Employee Benefits (amendment) – Employee contributions: the amendment distinguishes between employee contributions related to service only in the period in which they arise and those linked to service in more than one period. The amendment allows contributions that are linked to service, and do not vary with the length of employee service, to be deducted from the cost of benefits earned in the period that the service is provided. Contributions that are linked to service and vary according to the length of the employee service, must be spread over the service period using the same attribution method that is applied to the benefits. The Group will adopt the amendment when effective and does not expect any significant effect on its financial position and performance.
IFRIC 21 Levies: The interpretation clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy – that is not income tax – is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. The interpretation was endorsed by the European Union in 2014, effective for annual periods beginning on or after June 17, 2014, thus with effective date January 1, 2015 for the Group. The Group is currently reviewing the impact the Interpretation will have on its financial position and performance.
The preparation of the Semi-Annual Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these Semi-Annual Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, with the exception of changes in estimates and assumptions that are required in determining the provision for income taxes.

Operating segment information
|
The Chief Executive Officer, with oversight by the Supervisory Board, is the Chief Operating Decision-Maker (‘‘CODM’’) of the company. Management has determined the operating segments based on the information reviewed by the CODM for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Group operates in two business areas: Semiconductors and Subsystems.
In the Semiconductors business area, the Group designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of products, including discrete and standard commodity components, application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), full-custom devices and semi-custom devices and application-specific standard products (“ASSPs”) for analog, digital and mixed-signal applications. In addition, the Group further participates in the manufacturing value chain of Smartcard products, which include the production and sale of both silicon chips and Smartcards.
In the Subsystems business area, the Group designs, develops, manufactures and markets subsystems and modules for the telecommunications, automotive and industrial markets including mobile phone accessories, battery chargers, ISDN power supplies and in-vehicle equipment for electronic toll payment. Based on its immateriality to its business as a whole, the Subsystems business area does not meet the requirements for a reportable segment. All the financial values related to Subsystems including net revenues and related costs, are reported in the segment “Others”.
The current organization is as follows:
|
·
|
Sense & Power and Automotive Products (SP&A), including the following product lines:
|
|
o
|
Industrial & Power Discrete (IPD);
|
|
o
|
Analog & MEMS (AMS); and
|
|
·
|
Embedded Processing Solutions (EPS), comprised the following product lines:
|
|
o
|
Digital Convergence Group (DCG);
|
|
o
|
Imaging, BI-CMOS ASIC and Silicon Photonics (IBP);
|
|
o
|
Microcontrollers, Memory & Secure MCU (MMS); and
|
In 2014, the Group revised its revenues by product line from prior periods following the reclassification of Image Signal Processor business from IBP product line to DCG product line. In addition, the Wireless former product line has been reclassified into the DCG product line. The Group believes that the revised 2013 revenues presentation is consistent with that of 2014 and is using these comparatives when managing its segments.
The following tables present the Group’s consolidated net revenues and consolidated operating profit (loss) by semiconductor product segment. For the computation of the segments’ internal financial measurements, the Group uses certain internal rules of allocation for the costs not directly chargeable to the segments, including cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and a part of research and development expenses. In compliance with the Group’s internal policies, certain cost items are not charged to the segments, including unused capacity charges, impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, unused capacity charges, phase-out and start-up costs of certain manufacturing facilities, certain one-time corporate items, strategic and special R&D programs or other corporate-sponsored initiatives, including certain corporate-level operating expenses and certain other miscellaneous charges. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense is part of the manufacturing costs allocated to the product segments and is not identified as part of the inventory variation as well as the unused capacity charges; therefore it cannot be isolated in the costs of goods sold. R&D grants are allocated to our product lines proportionally to the incurred R&D expenses on the sponsored projects.

ST-Ericsson SA (“JVS”)
On February 3, 2009, the Group announced the closing of a transaction to combine the businesses of Ericsson Mobile Platforms and ST-NXP Wireless into a new venture, named ST-Ericsson. As part of the transaction, the Group received an interest in both ST-Ericsson Holding AG (parent of “JVS” group of companies) in which the Group owned 50% plus a controlling share. In 2010, ST-Ericsson Holding AG was merged in ST-Ericsson SA. The Group used to consolidate JVS.
On September 9, 2013, the Group sold 1 JVS share to Ericsson for its nominal value changing the ownership structure of JVS to bring both partners to an equal ownership proportion. As a result and in combination with the new shareholder agreement, the Group lost the control of JVS and as such JVS was deconsolidated from the Group’s financial statements as of September 1, 2013. The deconsolidation of JVS did not result in a gain or loss for the Group. The fair value of the Group’s retained non-controlling interest was evaluated at $55 million. Due to the loss pick-up recognized since the deconsolidation, the value of the investment amounted to $41 million as of June28, 2014. In addition, the Group and its partner signed funding commitment letters, capped at $149 million for each partner, to the residual joint wind-down operations to ensure solvency. These were not drawn as of June 28, 2014.
Before the deconsolidation of JVS, certain assets and companies of the JVS group of companies were transferred to both partners for their net book value which was representative of their fair value. The transactions did not result in cash exchange between the partners.
ST-Ericsson SA entered into liquidation on April 15, 2014.
In the first six months of 2014, the line ‘‘Share of losses of associates and jointly controlled entities’’ in the Group’s consolidated income statement included a charge of $9 million related to JVS.
3Sun Srl (“3Sun”)
3Sun is a joint initiative between Enel Green Power, Sharp and the Group for the manufacture of triple-junction thin film photovoltaic panels in Catania, Italy. Each partner owns a third of the common shares of the entity. The Group exercises joint-control over 3Sun and consequently accounts for its investment in 3Sun under the equity method. The line ‘‘Share of losses of associates and jointly controlled entities’’ in the Group’s consolidated income statement included a charge of $60 million related to 3Sun.
On July 22, 2014, the Group signed an agreement with Enel Green Power to transfer its equity stake in 3Sun. Pursuant to this agreement, at closing, subject to customary precedent conditions, ST will pay up to €15 million to Enel Green Power in exchange for ST’s full release from any obligations concerning the joint venture or Enel Green Power. Also, at closing, ST will forgive the outstanding €13 million shareholders’ loan to the joint venture.

Since the investment in 3Sun is denominated in euros, the investment is revalued at each reporting date closing, the exchange difference being recorded as currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income. As of June 28, 2014, the currency translation adjustment related to the investment amounted to $9 million. This amount will be reclassified in the Group’s consolidated income statement as an income under the line ‘‘Share of losses of associates and jointly controlled entities’’ upon disposal of the investment on July 22, 2014.

Hedging activities and derivatives
|
Derivative instruments not designated as hedges
The Group conducts its business on a global basis in various major international currencies. As a result, the Group is exposed to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily with respect to the Euro. Foreign exchange risk mainly arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities at the Group’s subsidiaries. The Group enters into currency forward contracts and currency options to reduce its exposure to changes in exchange rates and the associated risk arising from the denomination of certain assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the Group’s subsidiaries. These instruments do not qualify as hedging instruments and are marked-to-market at each period-end with the associated changes in fair value recognized in “Other income” or “Other expenses” in the consolidated income statement.
To reduce its exposure to U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations, the Group hedges certain Euro-denominated forecasted transactions that cover at reporting date a large part of its research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses through the use of currency forward contracts and currency options, including collars. These instruments do not qualify as hedging instruments and are marked-to-market at each period-end with the associated changes in fair value recognized in “Other income” or “Other expenses” in the consolidated income statement.
The main currencies covered are the Euro, the Singapore Dollar, the Swiss Franc, the Japanese Yen, the Indian rupee and the Malaysian Ringgit.

Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges
To reduce its exposure to U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations, the Group hedges certain Euro-denominated and Singapore-Dollar-denominated forecasted transactions that cover at reporting date a portion of its front-end manufacturing costs of semi-finished goods through the use of currency forward contracts and currency options, including collars.
The principles regulating the hedging strategy for derivatives designated as cash flow hedge is to hedge up to 70% of the total forecasted transactions for manufacturing costs. The maximum length of time over which the Group hedges its exposure to the variability of cash flows for forecasted transactions is 24 months.
These derivative instruments are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. They are reflected at their fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position. The gain or loss from the effective portion of the hedge is reported in the statement of comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and within the same consolidated income statement line item as the impact of the hedged transaction.
As at June 28, 2014, the Group had the following outstanding derivative instruments that were entered into to hedge Euro-denominated and Singapore-Dollar-denominated forecasted transactions:

Interest rate risk
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s interest rate risk arises mainly from long-term borrowings at fixed rates; currently there are no material fixed-rate liabilities. The Group analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Since almost all the liquidity of the Group is invested in floating rate instruments, the Group’s interest rate risk arises from the mismatch of fixed rate liabilities and floating rate assets.
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
The Group entered into currency collars as combinations of two options, which are reported, for accounting purposes, on a net basis. The fair value of these collars represented as at June 28, 2014 assets totaling $1 million and liabilities totaling $1 million. In addition, the Group entered into other derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, which are governed by standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements, which are not offset in the statement of financial position, and representing total assets of $7 million as at June 28, 2014.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the price at which the instrument could be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:
|
|
For trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of the instruments and their expected realization.
|
|
·
|
Other receivables and assets approximate their carrying amounts due either to their short-term maturities or to the fact that they are recorded at their net present value.
|
|
|

The fair value of government bonds, quoted equity securities and floating rate notes is determined based upon quoted market prices for identical instruments.
|
|
o
|
The fair value of quoted equity securities is based on the quoted price per share adjusted to reflect any applicable restrictions.
|
|
o
|
The fair value of unquoted equity securities is based on the valuation of the underlying instruments on a new round of third party financing or upon liquidation.
|
|
·
|
The fair value of restricted cash is its carrying amount.
|
|
·
|
The fair value of interest-bearing loans and borrowings is determined based on quoted market prices, and by estimating future cash flows on a borrowing-by-borrowing basis and discounting these future cash flows using the Group’s borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Fair value hierarchy
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
|
·
|
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
·
|
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
|
|
·
|
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
|

Outstanding shares
|
The authorized share capital of STMicroelectronics is EUR 1,810 million consisting of 1,200,000,000 common shares and 540,000,000 preference shares, each with a nominal value of EUR 1.04. As at June 28, 2014, the number of common shares issued was 910,741,805 shares (December 31, 2013: 910,703,305 shares).
As at June 28, 2014, the number of common shares outstanding was 893,082,995 shares (December 31, 2013: 890,606,763 shares).
|
3.6.13.2.
|
Preference shares
|
The 540,000,000 preference shares, when issued, will entitle a holder to full voting rights and to a preferential right to dividends and distributions upon liquidation.
On January 22, 2007, an option agreement was concluded between the Company and Stichting Continuïteit ST (the “Foundation”). The Managing Board, the Supervisory Board along with the board of the Foundation, have declared that they are jointly of the opinion that the Foundation is independent of the Company. This option agreement provides for the issuance of up to a maximum of 540,000,000 preference shares. Any such shares should be issued by the Company to the Foundation, upon its request and in its sole discretion, upon payment of at least 25% of the par value of the preference shares to be issued. The shares would be issuable in the event of actions considered hostile by the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board, such as a creeping acquisition (in such case up to 30% minus one share of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital) or an offer on the Company’s common shares, which are unsupported by the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board and which the board of the Foundation determines would be contrary to the Company’s interests, its shareholders or other stakeholders. The preference shares may remain outstanding for no longer than two years. No preference shares have been issued to date. The effect of the preference shares may be to deter potential acquirers from effecting an unsolicited acquisition resulting in a change of control as well as to create a level-playing field in the event actions which are considered to be hostile by the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board, as described above, occur and which the board of the Foundation determines to be contrary to the Company’s interests and its shareholders and other stakeholders.
|
3.6.13.3.

The Group receives significant public funding from governmental agencies in several jurisdictions. Public funding for research and development is recognized ratably as the related costs are incurred once the agreement with the respective governmental agency has been signed and all applicable conditions have been met. The first half of 2014 included a catch-up of funding on the Nano2017 program which started January 1, 2013, but was not recognized until the second quarter of 2014, following the EU approval.
Gain on sale of non-current assets is mostly related to the sale of businesses associated with the Smart Connectivity Business (Display Port products), realized in the first quarter of 2014.
Phase-out costs are costs incurred during the closing stage of a Company’s manufacturing facility. They are treated in the same manner as start-up costs. Start-up costs represent costs incurred in the start-up and testing of the Company’s new manufacturing facilities, before reaching the earlier of a minimum level of production or six months after the fabrication line’s quality certification.
Patent costs include legal and attorney fees and payment for claims, patent pre-litigation consultancy and legal fees. They are reported net of settlements, if any, which primarily include reimbursements of prior patent litigation costs.

Contingencies claims and legal proceedings
|
Contingencies
The Group is subject to the possibility of contingent liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business. These include but are not limited to: warranty cost on the products of the Group, breach of contract claims, claims for unauthorized use of third-party intellectual property, tax claims beyond assessed uncertain tax positions as well as claims for environmental damages. In determining contingent liabilities, the Group assesses whether it has a present obligation, considers the likelihood that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation as well as the ability to reliably estimate the amount of such present obligation. The Group regularly re-evaluates claims to determine whether provisions need to be adjusted based on the most current information available to the Group. Changes in these evaluations could result in an adverse material impact on the Group’s results of operations, cash flows or its financial position for the period in which they occur.
Claims and legal proceedings
The Group has received and may in the future receive communications alleging possible infringements of third party patents or other third party intellectual property rights. Furthermore, the Group from time to time enters into discussions regarding a broad patent cross license arrangement with other industry participants. There is no assurance that such discussions may be brought to a successful conclusion and result in the intended agreement. The Group may become involved in costly litigation brought against the Group regarding patents, mask works, copyrights, trademarks or trade secrets. In the event that the outcome of any litigation would be unfavorable to the Group, the Group may be required to license patents and/or other intellectual property rights at economically unfavorable terms and conditions, and possibly pay damages for prior use and/or face an injunction, all of which individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations, cash flows, financial position and/or ability to compete.
The Group is otherwise also involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings incidental to its business and operations.

Litigation with Tessera
In 2006, Tessera initiated a patent infringement lawsuit against the Group and numerous other semiconductor manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Tessera claims that the Group’s ball grid array packages infringe certain patents owned by Tessera, and that the Group breached a 1997 license agreement by failing to pay royalties to Tessera on sales of products in certain ball grid array packages. Tessera then filed a complaint in 2007 with the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, D.C. (“ITC”) against the Group and numerous other parties. During the ITC proceedings, the District Court action was stayed. On May 20, 2009, the ITC issued a limited exclusion order as well as a cease and desist order, both of which were terminated when the Tessera patents expired in September 2010. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit subsequently affirmed the ITC’s decision and on November 28, 2011 the U.S. Supreme Court denied the defendants’ petition for review, and the ITC decision became final. In January 2012, the District Court proceedings were revived in California. In May 2013, Tessera served its opening expert’s report on damages which opines that Tessera is entitled to $181 million in damages (including interest) based on the Group’s sales of allegedly infringing products from 2000 through 2010. The Group’s opening expert’s report on damages opines that the Group’s damages should be more in the range of $5 million to $8 million if an adverse judgment were to be entered against the Group. On March 14, 2014, the Court appointed independent technical expert, Dr. Reinhold Dauskardt, issued a report opining that the patents–in–suit were invalid and that Tessera had failed to meet its burden of proof regarding infringement of the patents-in suit by the Group’s accused ball grid array packages. Trial is scheduled for November 10, 2014.
Other Contingencies
The Group regularly evaluates claims and legal proceedings together with their related probable losses to determine whether they need to be adjusted based on the current information available to the Group. There can be no assurance that its recorded reserves will be sufficient to cover the extent of its potential liabilities. Legal costs associated with claims are expensed as incurred. In the event of litigation which is adversely determined with respect to the Group’s interests, or in the event the Group needs to change its evaluation of a potential third-party claim, based on new evidence or communications, a material adverse effect could impact its operations or financial condition at the time it were to materialize. As of June 28, 2014, provisions for estimated probable losses with respect to legal proceedings were not considered material. The Group estimates possible losses on claims and legal proceedings to be between $10 to $30 million.

Events occurring after the reporting period
|
On July 3, 2014, the Group issued $1,000 million principal amount of dual tranche senior unsecured convertible bonds (Tranche A for $600 million and Tranche B for $400 million), due 2019 and 2021, respectively, for net proceeds of approximately $995 million. Tranche A bonds were issued as zero-coupon bonds while Tranche B bonds bear a 1% per annum nominal interest, payable semi-annually. The conversion price at issuance is approximately $12, equivalent to a 30% and a 31% premium, respectively, on each tranche. The bonds are convertible by the bondholders if certain conditions are satisfied on a net-share settlement basis, except if an alternative settlement is elected by the Group. The Group can also redeem the bonds prior to their maturity in certain circumstances.
In July 2014, the Group launched and started a share buy-back program for the repurchase of up to twenty million ordinary shares, currently intended to meet the Group’s obligations in relation to its employee stock award plans.
On July 22, 2014, the Group signed an agreement with Enel Green Power to transfer its equity stake in 3Sun, a joint venture in the photovoltaic panels manufacturing. Pursuant to this agreement, at closing, subject to customary precedent conditions, the Group will pay up to €15 million to Enel Green Power in exchange for its full release from any obligation concerning the joint venture or Enel Green Power. Also, at closing, the Group will forgive the outstanding €13 million shareholders loan to the joint venture.
