STMicroelectronics Reports 2011 Third Quarter and Nine Month Financial Results

- Net revenues of \$2.44 billion and gross margin of 35.8% in third quarter, within guidance

- Net revenues of \$7.54 billion and net income of \$661 million for nine months

- Continued weak market conditions amid macro-economic uncertainty

PARIS, Oct. 24, 2011 -- STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended October 1, 2011.

President and CEO Carlo Bozotti commented, "We entered the third quarter preparing to face a difficult market environment and much weaker than planned business with a major customer as well as ongoing inventory adjustments. Reflecting these factors, our third quarter results were substantially in line with the business outlook we provided with net revenues decreasing 4.9% sequentially and gross margin at 35.8%. During the third quarter we have seen further deterioration in the semiconductor market environment amid macro-economic uncertainty and we are now experiencing a much weaker demand across a broader range of products.

"While the current market conditions are difficult, it is clear that the investments we made over the last several years in our two strategic pillars, Sense & Power and Multimedia Convergence applications, have strengthened our market position, growth trajectory and profitability. ST's wholly-owned businesses revenue growth of 9.3% for the first nine months of 2011 demonstrates the progress made, in spite of the changing market environment over this timeframe. In particular, we saw growth in MEMS, automotive ICs, microcontrollers and imaging products, and these sales advances have translated into improved profitability with ACCI, AMM and PDP delivering operating income growth and operating margin expansion on a year-to-date basis.

"With respect to our wireless joint venture, ST-Ericsson's third quarter revenues came in slightly ahead of expectations. The Company continues to make progress as more devices with ST-Ericsson's new platforms are entering the market and in the quarter, the first smartphone using ST-Ericsson's NovaThor™ platform has ramped with one leading manufacturer. Nonetheless, ST-Ericsson's operating loss remains substantial while it transitions to its new product portfolio."

Third Quarter Review

ST's third quarter net revenues decreased 4.9% on a sequential basis, with all regions down sequentially except the Japan & Korea region which was up 6.7%. EMEA, Greater China & South Asia and Americas each decreased about 7%. On a year-over-year basis, ST's net revenues decreased 8.1%, with the Americas down by 1.2%, Japan & Korea by 5.6%, EMEA by 8.8% and Greater China & South Asia by 10.6%. Sequentially, Wireless led all product segments with third quarter revenues up 18.8% while Automotive, Consumer, Computer, Communication Infrastructure (ACCI), Power Discrete Products (PDP), and Analog, MEMS and Microcontrollers (AMM) net revenues were down 12.3%, 6.2% and 4.0%, respectively.

Gross margin, as expected, decreased 230 basis points compared to the prior quarter, principally due to prices, the underloading of ST's wafer fabs with consequent unused capacity charges and unfavorable currency effect that were partially offset by better mix. On a year-over-year basis, gross margin declined by 340 basis points mainly due to prices, lower volumes and related charges for unused capacity and unfavorable currency effect.

As anticipated, combined SG&A and R&D expenses were \$898 million compared to \$895 million in the prior quarter with positive seasonal effects more than offset by a lower level of sales of R&D services at ST-Ericsson. On a year-over-year basis, combined expenses increased \$59 million mainly due to unfavorable currency effects and a lower level of sales of R&D services at ST-Ericsson. Combined operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 36.8% in the 2011 third quarter compared to 34.9% and 31.6% in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively.

Operating margin before restructuring attributable to ST in the 2011 third quarter was 4.3% compared to 9.1% and 11.6% in the prior and year-ago quarters, principally reflecting lower volumes and increased losses at ST-Ericsson.*

Third quarter net income was \$71 million or \$0.08 per diluted share, compared to \$0.46 and \$0.22 per diluted share in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively. On an adjusted basis, net of related taxes, ST reported non-U.S. GAAP diluted net earnings per share of \$0.09 in the third quarter, compared to \$0.14 and \$0.23 per share in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively.*

For the 2011 third quarter, the effective average exchange rate for the Company was approximately \$1.40 to euro 1.00 compared to \$1.37 to euro 1.00 for the 2011 second quarter and \$1.34 to euro 1.00 for the 2010 third quarter.

(*)Operating income before restructuring, operating margin before restructuring, operating margin before restructuring attributable to ST and adjusted net earnings per share are non-U.S. GAAP measures.

ACCI third quarter net revenues decreased 12.3% compared to the prior quarter principally due to weak industry conditions and ST's planned exit from hard disk drive system-on-chip. On a year-over-year basis, ACCI revenues decreased by 7.9% with growth in Automotive and Imaging more than offset by weakness in Consumer and Computer. ACCI operating margin was 7.1% compared to 10.9% and 12.0% in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively.

AMM third quarter net revenues decreased by 4.0% in comparison to the prior period with growth in MEMS offset by lower demand for analog and microcontroller applications. On a year-over-year basis, AMM revenues increased by 3.9% driven by strong growth in MEMS. AMM operating margin was 19.9% in the 2011 third quarter, compared to 21.2% and 20.9% in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively.

⁽a) Reflecting the transfer of a small business unit from ACCI to AMM as of January 1, 2011, the Company has reclassified prior period revenues and operating income results from ACCI to AMM.

⁽b) Wireless includes the portion of sales and operating results of ST-Ericsson as consolidated in the Company's revenues and operating results, as well as other items affecting operating results related to the wireless business.

(c) Net revenues of "Others" includes revenues from sales of Subsystems,assembly services and other revenues.

(d) Operating income (loss) of "Others" includes items such as unused capacity charges, impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs, phase out and start-up costs, and other unallocated expenses such as: strategic or special research and development programs, certain corporate-level operating expenses, patent claims and litigations, and other costs that are not allocated to product groups, as well as operating earnings or losses of the Subsystems and Other Products Group. "Others" includes \$42 million, \$6 million and \$0 million of unused capacity charges in the third and second quarters of 2011 and third quarter of 2010, respectively; and \$10 million, \$31 million and \$27 million of impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs in the third and second quarters of 2011 and third quarter of 2010, respectively.

PDP third quarter net revenues decreased 6.2% sequentially reflecting both a softer than expected market demand in Industrial and the anticipated weak demand from a major customer. On a year-over-year basis, PDP revenues decreased 7.0%. In the 2011 third quarter, PDP operating margin was 10.6% compared to 11.8% and 15.8% in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively, mainly due to lower volumes and price erosion.

Wireless net revenues in the third quarter increased 18.8% sequentially but declined 24.5% year-over-year. In the third quarter, ST-Ericsson revenues from new products passed the 50% of sales threshold and included the first shipments of the NovaThor™ platform for smartphones. Wireless operating loss, net of \$100 million of non-controlling interest, was \$106 million in the third quarter compared to a loss of \$102 million and \$37 million in the prior and year-ago period, respectively. Non-controlling interest is recorded below operating results in ST's Consolidated Income Statement and reflects primarily Ericsson's 50% share in the joint venture's results, as consolidated by ST.

ST-Ericsson is currently in a transition from legacy to new products.The Company's innovative product roadmap well positions ST-Ericsson for success as an industry leader and will translate our current efforts into a value opportunity in the future. ST-Ericsson's third quarter results show progress in that respect. Lately, uncertainty has increased due to changes in the business environment and has reduced demand for legacy products, including a much weaker than planned smartphone business with a major customer. In the event of a significant worsening of the current market conditions or a lack of results, we will consider additional actions to improve performance. Also, under these circumstances, the value of ST-Ericsson for ST could decrease to a value lower than the current carrying amount of the investment on our books.

2011 Nine Months Revenue and Operating Results by Product Segment

Fourth Quarter 2011 Business Outlook

Mr. Bozotti stated, "Based upon our current visibility and taking into account a further weakening of the market environment, we anticipate net revenues in the fourth quarter to decrease sequentially by about 8% within a range of approximately \$2.15 billion and \$2.30 billion. Reflecting both revenue and a higher level of unsaturation at our facilities as we make further adjustments to reduce inventory, we anticipate a gross margin range of about 33.5%, plus or minus 1.5 percentage points.

"While we remain cautious on the market environment, we have been vigilant in taking actions to maintain our solid financial position. Several additional actions we began last quarter to help mitigate the current market condition are in full effect, including temporarily closing down fabs, repatriating workload from subcontractors and cost-reduction measures.

"We anticipate that 2011 will still be a year of revenue and operating income growth in several businesses, in particular Automotive and MEMS, despite the weaker second half. As evidenced by our year-to-date results, we continue to build on the progress achieved over the course of the last two years in expanding our customer base, introducing new products and focusing on our target growth markets."

This outlook is based on an assumed effective currency exchange rate of approximately \$1.36= euro 1.00 for the 2011 fourth quarter and includes the impact of existing hedging contracts. The fourth quarter will close on December 31, 2011.

STMicroelectronics Supplemental Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information U. S. GAAP – Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation In Million US\$ Except Per Share Data

The supplemental non-U.S. GAAP information presented in this press release is unaudited and subject to inherent limitations. Such non-U.S. GAAP information is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measurements. Also, our supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-U.S. GAAP measures used by other companies. Further, specific limitations for individual non-U.S. GAAP measures, and the reasons for presenting non-U.S. GAAP financial information, are set forth in the paragraphs below. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information should not be read in isolation, but only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Operating income before restructuring is used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items, such as impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs. Adjusted net earnings and earnings per share (EPS) are used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items like impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs attributable to ST, the impact of equity investment divestiture and subsequent sale of Micron shares, other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charges and realized gain on financial assets, net of the relevant tax impact.

Return on net assets (RONA) is considered by management to be the key financial and economic metric to measure the return on invested capital. RONA is the ratio of operating income before impairment and restructuring charges divided by average net assets used during the period. ST defines average net assets as average total assets net of total liabilities as reported in our consolidated balance sheet excluding all items related to our financial position such as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, short-term deposits, restricted cash, bank overdrafts, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt.

Operating income before restructuring attributable to ST is calculated as operating income before restructuring excluding 50% of ST-Ericsson operating income (loss) before restructuring as consolidated by ST. Operating margin before restructuring attributable to ST is calculated as operating income before restructuring attributable to ST divided by reported revenues excluding 50% of ST-Ericsson revenues as consolidated by ST. RONA attributable to ST is calculated as annualized operating income before restructuring attributable to ST divided by reported net assets excluding 50% of ST-Ericsson net assets as consolidated by ST.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors and management because they measure the Company's capacity to generate profits from its business operations, excluding the effect of acquisitions and expenses related to the rationalizing of its activities and sites that it does not consider to be part of its on-going operating results, thereby offering, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financials, (i) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's on-going operating results, (ii) the ability to better identify trends in the Company's business and perform related trend analysis, and (iii) an easier way to compare the Company's results of operations against investor and analyst financial models and valuations, which usually exclude these items.

Net financial position: resources (debt), represents the balance between our total financial resources and our total financial debt. Our total financial resources include cash and cash equivalents, net of bank overdrafts, if any, current and non-current marketable securities excluding Micron shares received in connection with the sales of Numonyx, short-term deposits and non-current restricted cash, and our total financial debt includes short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, all as reported in our consolidated balance sheet. We believe our net financial position provides useful information for investors because it gives evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash position by measuring our capital resources based on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and the total level of our financial indebtedness. Net financial position is not a U.S. GAAP measure.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities minus net cash from (used in) investing activities, excluding payment for purchases of and proceeds from the sale of marketable securities (both current and non-current), short-term deposits and restricted cash. We believe free cash flow provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing activities to sustain our operating activities. Free cash flow is not a U.S. GAAP measure and does not represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows generated by or used in financing activities. In addition, our definition of free cash flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.
