Fourth Quarter 2002 Financial Results

Net revenues for the fourth quarter were $1,786.1 million, an 8.6% sequential increase over the $1,645.2 million reported in the 2002 third quarter, and 23.4% above the $1,447.9 million of last year’s fourth quarter. Revenues from differentiated products increased 6.6% sequentially and 20.3% year-over-year to $1,217.9 million, or 68.2% of net revenues for the period. Analog ICs (including mixed signal ICs) represented 52.7% of net revenues in the 2002 fourth quarter, compared to 53.8% in the prior quarter.

1

Gross profit was $660.6 million, an 8.5% sequential increase from the prior quarter’s $609.1 million, and 43.8% above last year’s fourth quarter gross profit of $459.5 million. Gross margin was 37.0%, flat with the 2002 third-quarter and significantly above the 31.7% reported for last year’s fourth quarter.

Pasquale Pistorio, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “We were pleased with ST’s strong revenue performance, which exceeded the guidance provided in our 2002 third quarter earnings release. Differentiated product revenues, which grew 6.6% sequentially, were a key growth driver, in line with our expectations. Incremental sequential revenue gains came from a spurt in demand for memory products. The sequential gross profit increase was in line with the Company’s sequential revenue growth,” Mr. Pistorio continued, “while gross margin was equivalent to that of the prior quarter, reflecting ongoing pricing pressure and a higher contribution of lower margin products.”

Operating income was $209.1 million, up 13.1% sequentially and close to three times higher than that of last year’s fourth quarter. Operating margin was 11.7%, up from 11.2% in the prior quarter and 4.9% in the 2001 fourth quarter.

Net income equaled $160.6 million for the 2002 fourth quarter, a sequential increase of 22.4% over the $131.2 million earned in the 2002 third quarter and significantly above the net income of $45.0 million reported in last year’s fourth quarter. Earnings per diluted share were $0.18 for the 2002 fourth quarter, compared to $0.15 in the third quarter of this year and $0.05 in the 2001 fourth quarter.

Commenting on fourth quarter performance, Mr. Pistorio said, “In the fourth quarter, sequential revenue growth was achieved by each of our product groups, and each group posted operating profits for the period.”

In the 2002 fourth quarter, research and development expenses were $282.4 million, 9.5% above the $258.0 million expended in the third quarter of 2002 and 27.9% above the $220.8 million reported for the comparable year-ago period. R&D costs represented 15.8% of net revenues in the 2002 fourth quarter compared to 15.7% of net revenues in the 2002 third quarter, and 15.2% of net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2001.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $183.7 million for the 2002 fourth quarter, 12.9% above the prior quarter’s $162.7 million, and 30.9% above the $140.3 million incurred in the similar year-ago period. As a percentage of net revenues, however, SG&A expenses increased only modestly to 10.3%, from 9.9% in the third quarter of 2002 and 9.7% of the 2001 fourth quarter.

Balance Sheet Highlights at December 31, 2002

At December 31, 2002, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $2.56 billion. Long-term debt totaled $2.80 billion and shareholders’ equity was $7.0 billion. Net debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 0.06.

Capital expenditures were $224.8 million for the 2002 fourth quarter and $995.5 million for the full year. This compares with capital expenditures of $136.7 million and $1.7 billion in last year’s fourth quarter and full year, respectively. Net operating cash flow for 2002 was $340.5 million, after the acquisition of Alcatel Microelectronics which amounted to $307.0 million.

Mr. Pistorio noted, “Maintaining a strong financial position takes on added importance during periods of economic uncertainties, and we believe that ST has distinguished itself by the Company’s emphasis on liquidity and a conservative debt to equity ratio. Cash generation was again a priority in 2002, and, as anticipated, ST was operating cash flow positive for the year, increasing net operating cash flow by 51% from 2001 levels. We significantly reduced capital expenditures in 2002 to ensure that our resources were aligned with market demand, and we reaffirm our projection that 2003 capex will approximate 2002 levels.”

Mr. Pistorio said, “ST ended 2002 with cash and marketable securities that exceeded $2.56 billion, providing the Company with important flexibility to navigate current market conditions as well as to take advantage of strategically-sound opportunities as they arise.”

Corporate Developments

The Company will hold its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday, March 12, 2003 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Mr. Maurizio Ghirga, who will be 65 years old in April 2003, has asked to retire from his position as Corporate Vice President—Chief Financial Officer, a post he has held since the Company’s formation. Mr. Ghirga, after officially presenting the Company’s financial statements to the AGM, will be replaced, effective May 1 st , as CFO by Mr. Carlo Ferro, 42, who currently serves as Deputy Chief Financial Officer.

Summary and Outlook

Mr. Pistorio commented, “Although full year industry data have not yet been published, we expect that ST built share in our served-markets in 2002, increasing our penetration with certain key customers and broadening our reach. This was an important accomplishment in light of the volatile pricing environment and limited visibility that characterized the year.”

“Difficult market conditions are expected to persist in the first half of 2003,” Mr. Pistorio said. “The combination of normal seasonal patterns and continued price erosion leads us to anticipate that ST’s first quarter 2003 revenues will be between $1.62 billion and $1.68 billion. This would be substantially above the $1.36 billion reported for last year’s first quarter, but below 2002 fourth quarter levels. Gross margin for the 2003 first quarter should be in the 36% to 37% range, taking into account the effect of lower revenues, and pricing environment.”

“For the full year, however, the picture is brighter,” Mr. Pistorio said. “Based upon currently available data and customer input, we believe 2003 will be a year of progressive improvement for ST, one in which we will be able to increasingly raise our levels of profitability. We anticipate that our gross margin will steadily improve throughout 2003, approaching 40% by the fourth quarter, fueled by manufacturing efficiencies, better product mix and higher volume, within a more favorable market environment.”

“ST is strategically very well positioned,” Mr. Pistorio noted, “to take advantage of existing and emerging trends in the market segments we serve. Our product portfolio is expanding our opportunities with existing and new customers; the Company’s Strategic R&D Alliance is providing state-of-the-art technology; ST continues to be a leader in the System-on-Chip technology that is essential to convergence; and the Company’s global manufacturing infrastructure and outsourcing alliances give us significant competitive advantages. These elements combine with our other fundamental strengths to put ST in a unique position to benefit from the industry recovery.”

Products, Technology and Design Wins

• Targeting the market for 2.5G and 3G mobile phones, PDAs and other portable and multimedia products, ST disclosed details of a very significant initiative with Texas Instruments, whereby the two companies will jointly define and promote an open standard for wireless application processor interfaces. The new OMAPI (SM) Standard is expected to promote faster and broader deployment of multimedia-enhanced mobile devices and applications. ST’s announcement of an OMAPI-compliant processor is expected in the first quarter of 2003.

• ST unveiled a prototype silicon chip for DNA analysis that integrates both DNA amplification and detection on the same piece of silicon. This device is based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) technology that applies standard silicon-chip manufacturing technologies to produce miniature devices with a combination of mechanical, electrical, fluidic, and optical elements suitable for diagnostic and identification applications. Additionally, at Electronica 2002, ST described first details of its advanced research activity in this area including electronic detection of DNA samples and the development of scalable software called the ‘Gene Platform’ for future lab-on-chip solutions.

• ST released details of a ground-breaking technology that allows silicon-based light emitters to match the efficiency of higher-cost traditional light-emitting compound semiconductor materials such as gallium arsenide (GaAs). Because it enables ST to combine optical and electrical functions on a single chip, the new technology facilitates the integration of applications that currently use discrete components and makes possible a new class of applications using features such as on-chip optical clocking.

• Shipments of MPEG2 decoders to set-top box manufacturers passed the 100-million- unit mark, demonstrating the Company’s leadership and strength in this important digital consumer market.

• ST released details of the industry’s most advanced silicon solution for DVD playback. The company is now implementing all of the analog and digital electronic circuitry required for DVD playback in just two chips.

• The development of the first contactless smart card IC with FRAM (Ferroelectric RAM), replacing standard RAM, was jointly announced by ST and Fujitsu. The new device is particularly suited to applications such as transport ticketing and access control.

• In the Flash memory market, ST introduced two new multiple-bank 128-Mbit Flash devices targeted at high-performance next-generation mobile phones and confirmed its commitment to multi-bit/cell technology with the successful produc tion of a 128-Mbit, 3V, 2-bit/cell device. The Company also significantly increased its number of 64-Mbit Flash sockets at major cellular phone manufacturers and achieved its first design win at a major set-top-box manufacturer with a new secure 64-Mbit Flash memory.

• The Company’s latest 12- line chipset technology has been integrated into Alcatel’s latest DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer), the market-leading DSL ASAM 7300 platform. Also in the DSL market, ST gained a design win from Telecom Italia for the Unicorn ADSL chipset.

• In the networking market, ST gained a major ASIC design win from a market leader for a device that will be used in Wireless LAN products.

• In the computer peripherals market, ST won two more important design wins for digital printer engines—one for mid-range printers and one in the expanding multifunction printer market. In the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) arena, ST sampled the first SoC device in 0.13-micron technology and also gained a key design win for a power IC for an enterprise HDD application, expanding its presence in this area and building on the Company’s strong position in the desktop HDD market.

• ST announced that it had started production of one of the most complex System-on-Chip (SoC) devices ever built for a scientific experiment. The chip was jointly developed by ST and the ALICE Collaboration, a group of Universities and Research Institutes, in preparation for a major experiment that will be performed at CERN. Know-how acquired during the project is now being applied by ST to the development of new data-acquisition chips for high- volume markets.

• ST and L’Oréal announced the first use of semiconductors in the development of next-generation skin care. L’Oréal, a world leader in cosmetics, is using ST’s TouchChip silicon image-sensor technology in an innovative research project to develop methods to quickly and easily provide detailed hydration analysis of human skin.
