STMicroelectronics reported mixed 2025 results, with a weak year but signs of stabilization in the fourth quarter. Q4 net revenues were $3.33 billion, up 0.2% year over year, with gross margin at 35.2%. However, operating income dropped to $125 million from $369 million and the company posted a net loss of $30 million, mainly due to $141 million of impairment and restructuring costs and one-time non‑cash tax expenses.
For full-year 2025, net revenues fell 11.1% to $11.80 billion, gross margin declined to 33.9%, and operating income plunged to $175 million from $1.68 billion. Net income dropped to $166 million from $1.56 billion, reflecting weaker industry conditions and significant restructuring. On a non‑GAAP basis, 2025 operating income was $551 million and net income $486 million.
Cash generation remained solid: 2025 net cash from operating activities was $2.15 billion and free cash flow was $265 million, after $1.79 billion in net capex. The company ended 2025 with a strong net financial position of $2.79 billion and continued dividends and share buybacks. For Q1 2026, ST guides to net revenues of $3.04 billion and gross margin of 33.7%, assuming continued restructuring and unused capacity charges.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Full-year 2025 profitability collapsed: operating income fell to $175 million from $1.68 billion and net income to $166 million from $1.56 billion, driven by lower margins and sizable restructuring and phase-out costs.

related to impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs
•FY25 net revenues $11.80 billion; gross margin 33.9%; operating income of $175 million, including $376 million
related to impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs
•Business outlook at mid-point: Q126 net revenues of $3.04 billion and gross margin of 33.7%
Geneva, January 29, 2026 – STMicroelectronics N.V. (“ST”) (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving
customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, reported U.S. GAAP financial results for the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 2025. This press release also contains non-U.S. GAAP measures (see Appendix for additional
information).
ST reported fourth quarter net revenues of $3.33 billion, gross margin of 35.2%, operating income of $125 million, and net
loss of $30 million or -$0.03 diluted earnings per share (non-U.S. GAAP1 operating income of $266 million, and non-U.S.
GAAP1 net income of $100 million or $0.11 diluted earnings per share, including certain negative one-time tax expenses
impact of $0.18 per share).
Jean-Marc Chery, ST President & CEO, commented:
•“Q4 net revenues came above the mid-point of our business outlook range, driven by higher revenues in
Personal Electronics and, to a lesser extent, in CECP and Industrial, while Automotive was below
expectations. Gross margin was above the mid-point of our business outlook range mainly due to better
product mix. Q4 revenues marked the return to year-over-year growth.”
•“FY25 revenues decreased 11.1% to $11.80 billion. Operating margin was 1.5% and net income was $166
million. Non-U.S. GAAP1 operating margin was 4.7% and non-U.S. GAAP1 net income was $486 million. We
invested $1.79 billion in Net Capex (non-U.S. GAAP1) while delivering free cash flow (non-U.S. GAAP1) of $265
million.”
•“Our first quarter business outlook, at the mid-point, is for net revenues of $3.04 billion, decreasing
sequentially by 8.7%, better than average past seasonality, and accelerating the year-over-year growth
dynamic that started in Q4. Gross margin is expected to be about 33.7%; including about 220 basis points of
unused capacity charges.”
•“For 2026, we plan to invest between $2.0 to $2.2 billion in Net Capex (non-U.S. GAAP1).”
•“Our strategic priorities remain to accelerate innovation; execute our company-wide program to reshape our
manufacturing footprint and resize our global cost base and strengthen free cash flow generation.”

Changes to reportable segments
Following ST’s reorganization announced in January 2024 into two Product Groups and four reportable segments,
we have made further progress in analyzing our global product portfolio, resulting in the following adjustments to
our segments, effective starting January 1, 2025, without modifying subtotals at Product Group level:
•In Analog, Power & Discrete, MEMS and Sensors (APMS) Product Group:
oThe transfer of VIPower products from Power and Discrete products (P&D) reportable segment to
Analog products, MEMS and Sensors (AM&S) reportable segment.
•In Microcontrollers, Digital ICs and RF products (MDRF) Product Group:
othe newly created ‘Embedded Processing’ (EMP) reportable segment includes the former ‘MCU’
segment (excluding the RF ASICs mentioned below) as well as Custom Processing products
(Automotive ADAS products).
othe newly created ‘RF & Optical Communications’ (RF&OC) reportable segment includes the
former ‘D&RF’ segment (excluding Automotive ADAS products) as well as some RF ASICs which
were previously part of the former ‘MCU’ segment.
We believe these adjustments are critical for implementing synergies and optimizing resources, which are
necessary to fully deliver the benefits expected from our new organization.
Our four reportable segments - within each Product Group - are now as follows:
•In Analog, Power & Discrete, MEMS and Sensors (APMS) Product Group:
oAnalog products, MEMS and Sensors (AM&S) reportable segment, comprised of ST analog
products (now including VIPower products), MEMS sensors and actuators, and optical sensing
solutions.
oPower and Discrete products (P&D) reportable segment, comprised of discrete and power
transistor products (now excluding VIPower products).
In this Press Release, “Analog” refers to analog products, “MEMS” to MEMS sensors and actuators
and “Imaging” to optical sensing solutions.
•In Microcontrollers, Digital ICs and RF products (MDRF) Product Group:
oEmbedded Processing (EMP) reportable segment, comprised of general-purpose and automotive
microcontrollers, connected security products and Custom Processing Products (Automotive
ADAS)
oRF & Optical Communications (RF&OC) reportable segment, comprised of Space, Ranging &
Connectivity products, Digital Audio & Signaling Solutions and Optical & RF COT.
In this Press release, “GPAM” refers to General purpose & automotive microcontrollers, “Connected
Security” to connected security products, “Custom Processing” to automotive ADAS products.
Prior year comparative periods have been adjusted accordingly.

Supplemental Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information
U.S. GAAP – Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation
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.
ST believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors and management
because they offer, when read in conjunction with ST’s U.S. GAAP financials, (i) the ability to make more meaningful
period-to-period comparisons of ST’s on-going operating results, (ii) the ability to better identify trends in ST’s business
and perform related trend analysis, and (iii) to facilitate a comparison of ST’s results of operations against investor and
analyst financial models and valuations, which may exclude these items.
Non-U.S. GAAP Operating Income, Non-U.S. GAAP Net Income and Non-U.S. GAAP Earnings Per Share (non-U.S.
GAAP measures)
Operating income before impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs, and one-time items 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 phase-out 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 phase-out costs attributable to
ST and other one-time items, net of the relevant tax impact.

(Appendix – continued)
Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position (non-U.S. GAAP measures)
Net Financial Position, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total
financial debt. Our total liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits, and
marketable securities, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt and long-term debt, as reported in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets. ST also presents adjusted net financial position as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, to take into
consideration the effect on total liquidity of advances received on capital grants for which capital expenditures have not
been incurred yet.
ST believes its Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position provide useful information for investors and
management because they give evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash by
measuring our capital resources based on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits and
marketable securities and the total level of our financial debt. Our definitions of Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net
Financial Position may differ from definitions used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

(Appendix – continued)
Net Capex and Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measures)
ST presents Net Capex as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, which is reported as part of our Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP
measure), to take into consideration the effect of advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to
property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
Net Capex, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) Payment for purchase of tangible assets, as reported plus (ii)
Proceeds from sale of tangible assets, as reported plus (iii) Proceeds from capital grants and other contributions, as
reported plus (iv) Advances from capital grants allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
ST believes Net Capex provides useful information for investors and management because annual capital expenditures
budget includes the effect of capital grants. Our definition of Net Capex may differ from definitions used by other
companies.

Net Capex (non-U.S. GAAP) | (395) | (401) | (465) | (530) | (470) |
Free Cash Flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus (ii) Net Capex
plus (iii) payment for purchase (and proceeds from sale) of intangible and financial assets and (iv) net cash paid for
business acquisitions, if any.
ST believes 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 operations.
Free Cash Flow reconciles with the total cash flow and the net cash increase (decrease) by including the payment for
purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and net investment in (and proceeds from) short-term
deposits, the net cash from (used in) financing activities and the effect of changes in exchange rates, and by excluding the
advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
Our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.

STMicroelectronics Reports Q4 and FY 2025 Financial Results
•Q425 net revenues $3.33 billion; gross margin 35.2%; operating income of $125 million, including $141 million
related to impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs
•FY25 net revenues $11.80 billion; gross margin 33.9%; operating income of $175 million, including $376 million
related to impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs
•Business outlook at mid-point: Q126 net revenues of $3.04 billion and gross margin of 33.7%
Geneva, January 29, 2026 – STMicroelectronics N.V. (“ST”) (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving
customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, reported U.S. GAAP financial results for the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 2025. This press release also contains non-U.S. GAAP measures (see Appendix for additional
information).
ST reported fourth quarter net revenues of $3.33 billion, gross margin of 35.2%, operating income of $125 million, and net
loss of $30 million or -$0.03 diluted earnings per share (non-U.S. GAAP1 operating income of $266 million, and non-U.S.
GAAP1 net income of $100 million or $0.11 diluted earnings per share, including certain negative one-time tax expenses
impact of $0.18 per share).
Jean-Marc Chery, ST President & CEO, commented:
•“Q4 net revenues came above the mid-point of our business outlook range, driven by higher revenues in
Personal Electronics and, to a lesser extent, in CECP and Industrial, while Automotive was below
expectations. Gross margin was above the mid-point of our business outlook range mainly due to better
product mix. Q4 revenues marked the return to year-over-year growth.”
•“FY25 revenues decreased 11.1% to $11.80 billion. Operating margin was 1.5% and net income was $166
million. Non-U.S. GAAP1 operating margin was 4.7% and non-U.S. GAAP1 net income was $486 million. We
invested $1.79 billion in Net Capex (non-U.S. GAAP1) while delivering free cash flow (non-U.S. GAAP1) of $265
million.”
•“Our first quarter business outlook, at the mid-point, is for net revenues of $3.04 billion, decreasing
sequentially by 8.7%, better than average past seasonality, and accelerating the year-over-year growth
dynamic that started in Q4. Gross margin is expected to be about 33.7%; including about 220 basis points of
unused capacity charges.”
•“For 2026, we plan to invest between $2.0 to $2.2 billion in Net Capex (non-U.S. GAAP1).”
•“Our strategic priorities remain to accelerate innovation; execute our company-wide program to reshape our
manufacturing footprint and resize our global cost base and strengthen free cash flow generation.”

Changes to reportable segments
Following ST’s reorganization announced in January 2024 into two Product Groups and four reportable segments,
we have made further progress in analyzing our global product portfolio, resulting in the following adjustments to
our segments, effective starting January 1, 2025, without modifying subtotals at Product Group level:
•In Analog, Power & Discrete, MEMS and Sensors (APMS) Product Group:
oThe transfer of VIPower products from Power and Discrete products (P&D) reportable segment to
Analog products, MEMS and Sensors (AM&S) reportable segment.
•In Microcontrollers, Digital ICs and RF products (MDRF) Product Group:
othe newly created ‘Embedded Processing’ (EMP) reportable segment includes the former ‘MCU’
segment (excluding the RF ASICs mentioned below) as well as Custom Processing products
(Automotive ADAS products).
othe newly created ‘RF & Optical Communications’ (RF&OC) reportable segment includes the
former ‘D&RF’ segment (excluding Automotive ADAS products) as well as some RF ASICs which
were previously part of the former ‘MCU’ segment.
We believe these adjustments are critical for implementing synergies and optimizing resources, which are
necessary to fully deliver the benefits expected from our new organization.
Our four reportable segments - within each Product Group - are now as follows:
•In Analog, Power & Discrete, MEMS and Sensors (APMS) Product Group:
oAnalog products, MEMS and Sensors (AM&S) reportable segment, comprised of ST analog
products (now including VIPower products), MEMS sensors and actuators, and optical sensing
solutions.
oPower and Discrete products (P&D) reportable segment, comprised of discrete and power
transistor products (now excluding VIPower products).
In this Press Release, “Analog” refers to analog products, “MEMS” to MEMS sensors and actuators
and “Imaging” to optical sensing solutions.
•In Microcontrollers, Digital ICs and RF products (MDRF) Product Group:
oEmbedded Processing (EMP) reportable segment, comprised of general-purpose and automotive
microcontrollers, connected security products and Custom Processing Products (Automotive
ADAS)
oRF & Optical Communications (RF&OC) reportable segment, comprised of Space, Ranging &
Connectivity products, Digital Audio & Signaling Solutions and Optical & RF COT.
In this Press release, “GPAM” refers to General purpose & automotive microcontrollers, “Connected
Security” to connected security products, “Custom Processing” to automotive ADAS products.
Prior year comparative periods have been adjusted accordingly.

Supplemental Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information
U.S. GAAP – Non-U.S. GAAP Reconciliation
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.
ST believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors and management
because they offer, when read in conjunction with ST’s U.S. GAAP financials, (i) the ability to make more meaningful
period-to-period comparisons of ST’s on-going operating results, (ii) the ability to better identify trends in ST’s business
and perform related trend analysis, and (iii) to facilitate a comparison of ST’s results of operations against investor and
analyst financial models and valuations, which may exclude these items.
Non-U.S. GAAP Operating Income, Non-U.S. GAAP Net Income and Non-U.S. GAAP Earnings Per Share (non-U.S.
GAAP measures)
Operating income before impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs, and one-time items 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 phase-out 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 phase-out costs attributable to
ST and other one-time items, net of the relevant tax impact.

Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position (non-U.S. GAAP measures)
Net Financial Position, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, represents the difference between our total liquidity and our total
financial debt. Our total liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits, and
marketable securities, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt and long-term debt, as reported in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets. ST also presents adjusted net financial position as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, to take into
consideration the effect on total liquidity of advances received on capital grants for which capital expenditures have not
been incurred yet.
ST believes its Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position provide useful information for investors and
management because they give evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash by
measuring our capital resources based on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits and
marketable securities and the total level of our financial debt. Our definitions of Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net
Financial Position may differ from definitions used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

Net Capex and Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measures)
ST presents Net Capex as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, which is reported as part of our Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP
measure), to take into consideration the effect of advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to
property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
Net Capex, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) Payment for purchase of tangible assets, as reported plus (ii)
Proceeds from sale of tangible assets, as reported plus (iii) Proceeds from capital grants and other contributions, as
reported plus (iv) Advances from capital grants allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
ST believes Net Capex provides useful information for investors and management because annual capital expenditures
budget includes the effect of capital grants. Our definition of Net Capex may differ from definitions used by other
companies.

Net Capex (non-U.S. GAAP) | (395) | (401) | (465) | (530) | (470) |
Free Cash Flow, which is a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) net cash from operating activities plus (ii) Net Capex
plus (iii) payment for purchase (and proceeds from sale) of intangible and financial assets and (iv) net cash paid for
business acquisitions, if any.
ST believes 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 operations.
Free Cash Flow reconciles with the total cash flow and the net cash increase (decrease) by including the payment for
purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and net investment in (and proceeds from) short-term
deposits, the net cash from (used in) financing activities and the effect of changes in exchange rates, and by excluding the
advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.
Our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.
