Earnings headlines have averaged a -6% move over the last five events, with mostly aligned reactions and one notable selloff on otherwise strong 2024 results.
Over the past five earnings releases from Q3 2024 through Q3 2025, onsemi has navigated revenue declines and margin compression while maintaining solid profitability and free cash flow. Earlier quarters in 2025 highlighted significant revenue drops and even a GAAP loss, but non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow remained resilient. The current Q4 2025/FY 2025 report continues this theme, emphasizing cash generation, shareholder returns, and disciplined cost control amid softer top-line trends.
Historical Comparison
In the last five earnings releases, ON’s average move was about -6%. Today’s +3.33% reaction to Q4/FY 2025 results stands out as relatively stronger than recent earnings responses.
Earnings across 2024–2025 show revenue and margin compression from 2024 highs, but with consistent emphasis on non-GAAP profitability, strong free cash flow, and capital returns.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details Q4 and full-year 2025 results, emphasizing revenue of $1,530.1M for the quarter and $5,995.4M for the year, alongside strong free cash flow of $1.4B and a 24% margin. Management underscored disciplined execution, cost-structure improvements, and a new $6B buyback over three years. Historically, earnings releases have averaged a -6% move, so investors may watch how guidance, margins, and GaN-related growth initiatives evolve in upcoming quarters.

These special items are out of our control and could change significantly from period to period. As a result, we are not able to reasonably estimate and separately present the individual impact or probable significance of these special items, and we are similarly unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures. The reconciliation that is unavailable would include a forward-looking income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows in accordance with GAAP. For this reason, we use a projected range of the aggregate amount of special items in order to calculate our projected non-GAAP operating expense outlook. |
| *** | We believe these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to investors. We use these measures, 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 releases, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. |

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, onsemi uses certain non-GAAP measures, which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP measures to exclude items related to the amortization of intangibles, expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up, inventory valuation adjustments, in-process research and development expenses, restructuring, asset impairments and other, net, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, gains and losses on debt prepayment, non-cash interest expense, actuarial (gains) losses on pension plans and other pension benefits, third party acquisition and divestiture-related costs, tax impact of these items, and certain other non-recurring items, as necessary. Management does not consider the effects of these items in evaluating the core operational activities of onsemi. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results, and evaluate onsemi’s current performance. In addition, the Company believes that most analysts covering onsemi use the non-GAAP measures to evaluate onsemi’s performance. Given management’s and other relevant parties' use of these non-GAAP measures, onsemi believes these measures are important to investors in understanding onsemi’s current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in onsemi's core business across different time periods. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered alternatives or necessarily superior to, GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Gross Margin
The use of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin allows management to evaluate, among other things, the gross margin and gross profit of the Company’s core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including, generally speaking, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of fair market value step-up of inventory, impact of business wind-down and non-recurring facility costs. In addition, it is an important component of management’s internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making, preparing budgets, obtaining targets, and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our operating performance independent of certain non-cash items and the effects of certain variables unrelated to our overall operating performance.
Non-GAAP Operating Income and Operating Margin
The use of non-GAAP operating income and operating margin allows management to evaluate, among other things, the operating income and operating margin of the Company’s core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash items including, generally speaking, amortization of fair market value step-up of inventory, impact of business wind-down, non-recurring facility costs, amortization and impairments of intangible assets, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, third party acquisition and divestiture related costs, restructuring charges and certain other special items as necessary. In addition, it is an important component of management’s internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making, preparing budgets, obtaining targets, and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our operating performance independent of certain non-cash items and the effects of certain variables unrelated to our overall operating performance.
Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to onsemi and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share
The use of non-GAAP net income attributable to onsemi and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share allows management to evaluate the operating results of onsemi’s core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis, independent of non-cash and non-recurring items including, generally, the restructuring related cost of revenue charges, amortization and impairments of intangible assets, amortization of fair market value step-up of inventory, impact of business wind down, non-recurring facility costs, restructuring, asset impairments, actuarial (gains) losses on pension plans and other pension benefits, third party acquisition and divestiture-related costs, discrete tax items and other non-GAAP tax adjustments and certain other special items, as necessary. In addition, these measures are important components of management’s internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process, as they are used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making, preparing budgets, setting targets and forecasting future results. For our non-GAAP reporting, we are utilizing a projected and normalized non-GAAP effective tax rate of
Free Cash Flow
The use of free cash flow allows management to evaluate, among other things, the ability of the Company to make interest or principal payments on its debt. Free cash flow is defined as the difference between cash flow from operating activities and capital expenditures disclosed under investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Free cash flow is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. It is an important component of management’s internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making, preparing budgets, obtaining targets, and forecasting future results. Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our financial performance independent of the cash capital expenditures.
Non-GAAP Diluted Share Count
The use of non-GAAP diluted share count allows management to evaluate, among other things, the potential dilution due to the outstanding restricted stock units excluding the dilution from the convertible notes that is covered by hedging activity up to a certain threshold.
