Certain Forward–Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Annual Report are “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking
statements are often characterized by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “may,” “will,”
“intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “should” or similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. All forward-
looking statements in this Annual Report are made based on onsemi’s current expectations, forecasts, estimates and
assumptions, and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements. Among these factors are economic conditions and markets (including current
financial conditions), exchange rate fluctuations, risks associated with decisions to expend cash reserves for various uses in
accordance with onsemi’s capital allocation policy such as debt prepayment, stock repurchases or acquisitions rather than to
retain such cash for future needs, risks associated with onsemi’s substantial leverage and restrictive covenants in onsemi’s debt
agreements that may be in place from time to time, and risks involving governmental regulation. Important factors that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Additional factors that
could cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are contained in onsemi’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other of onsemi’s filings with the SEC.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement. onsemi assumes no obligation to update such information, which speak only as of the date made, except
as may be required by law.

Committed to Excellence and Sustainable Results
(Letter to Shareholders)

It is with tremendous pride that I write this letter to all our shareholders who have been
a part of this incredible journey with us. We recently closed the second fiscal year since
the start of our transformation and in 2022, onsemi delivered the most successful
year in the company’s history, with record revenue of $8.3 billion, non-GAAP gross
margin of 49.2% and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $5.33. These compare to
GAAP figures of 49.0% gross
margin and earnings per
share of $4.25.

priority and our worldwide
teams delivered on all fronts, remaining steadfast in their
dedication to excellence, earning onsemi a position in the
prestigious S&P 500.

Our investments focused on high-growth megatrends,
improved efficiencies, and rationalizing our manufacturing
footprint. We reinforced our position as the leader in
intelligent power and sensing technologies for the fastest-
growing megatrends in the automotive and industrial
markets. With the accelerating demand for electric vehicles, energy infrastructure, and advanced safety applications,
onsemi is perfectly positioned to help build a more sustainable future for our customers and future generations.
Customers are choosing onsemi because of the differentiation of our leading-edge technology, the breadth of our

Our partner engagement has been an integral part of this success and we have made it a priority to deepen our
customer and supplier programs to build partnerships aimed at mutual growth. In 2022, we secured more than $16
billion in long-term supply agreements with companies who choose to partner with onsemi.

We optimized our manufacturing footprint by divesting four subscale fabs while we also completed the acquisition of
our East Fishkill fab in New York. This newest addition is now our largest U.S. manufacturing location as well as the only
300mm power discrete and image sensor fab in the country.

We also announced fab expansion plans in South Korea and the Czech Republic for silicon carbide which remains
an important growth driver of our business, as the adoption of electric vehicles and alternative energy continues to
accelerate. We will continue to invest in expanding our capabilities and capacity, making onsemi the leader for end-to-
end silicon carbide solutions in a rapidly growing market.

In addition, 2022 was a milestone year for our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. We launched a
new corporate global giving program, updated our sustainability strategy, and signed the Science Based Target initiative
(SBTi) letter reinforcing our commitment to net zero by 2040. We were recognized for our sustainability efforts by the
Dow Jones Sustainability Index North America and Investor Business Daily. In addition, World Finance selected onsemi
as the Most Sustainable Company in the Semiconductor Industry for 2022. This award emphasizes onsemi’s continued
focus to deliver on the promise of a sustainable future through products and a commitment to achieving net zero by
2040.

Continued operational excellence is imperative as we navigate through 2023. We will remain disciplined in our execution
to deliver on our commitments, and we will continue to invest for our long-term growth. We have yet to uncover our full
potential and we look forward to delivering for our customers and our shareholders.

Overview 

PART I 

ON Semiconductor Corporation, together with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, which operate under the onsemiTM 
brand (“onsemi,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in 1992. 

We  provide  industry  leading  intelligent  power  and  sensing  solutions  to  help  our  customers  solve  challenging  problems  and 
create cutting edge products for a better future. Our intelligent power technologies enable the electrification of the automotive 
industry  that  allows  for  lighter  and  longer-range  electric  vehicles,  empowers  efficient  fast-charging  systems  and  propels 
sustainable energy for the highest efficiency solar strings, industrial power and storage systems. Our intelligent power solutions 
for automotive allows our customers to exceed range targets with lower weight and reduce system cost through efficiency. Our 
intelligent  sensing  technologies  support  the  next  generation  industry  allowing  for  smarter  factories  and  buildings  while  also 
enhancing  the  automotive  mobility  experience  with  imaging  and  depth  sensing  that  make  advanced  vehicle  safety  and 
automated  driving  systems  possible.  We  believe  the  evolution  of  the  automotive  industry,  with  advancements  in  autonomous 
driving, ADAS, vehicle electrification, and the increase in electronics content for vehicle platforms, is reshaping the boundaries 
of transportation. 

Through  sensing  integration,  we  believe  our  intelligent  power  solutions  achieve  superior  efficiencies  compared  to  our  peers. 
This  integration  allows  lower  temperature  operation  and  reduced  cooling  requirements  while  saving  costs  and  minimizing 
weight.  In  addition,  our  power  solutions  deliver  power  with  less  die  per  module,  achieving  higher  range  for  a  given  battery 
capacity. 

Additionally, we serve a broad base of end-user markets, which include communications, computing and consumer. 

We  are  organized  into  the  following  three  operating  and  reportable  segments:  the  Power  Solutions  Group  (“PSG”),  the 
Advanced Solutions Group (“ASG”) and the Intelligent Sensing Group (“ISG”). 

Business Strategy Developments 

Our  primary  focus  continues  to  be  on  profitable  revenue  growth  in  our  focused  end-markets  of  automotive  and  industrial 
infrastructure, as well as obtaining longer-term supply arrangements with strategic end-customers. We are focused on achieving 
efficiencies in our operating and capital expenditures. We have made significant progress on gross margin and operating margin 
expansion  by  focusing  our  capital  allocation  on  research  and  development  investments  and  resources  to  accelerate  growth  in 
high-margin  products  and  end-markets.  Additionally,  we  continue  to  rationalize  our  product  portfolio  by  moving  away  from 
non-differentiated,  non-strategic  products,  which  in  most  cases  had  lower  gross  and  operating  margins.  To  this  effect,  in 
September 2022, we approved an exit plan to wind down QCS, which will further enable us to direct our investments to areas of 
strategic focus. 

During  2022,  we  completed  the  divestitures  of  certain  manufacturing  facilities.  We  believe  these  actions,  among  others,  will 
allow us to transition from sub-scale factories into a lighter internal fabrication model where our financial performance will be 
less  volatile  and  not  as  heavily  influenced  by  our  internal  manufacturing  volumes.  We  will  continue  to  evaluate  our 
manufacturing footprint in 2023 to align with our investment priorities and corporate strategy. Our goal is to reduce volatility in 
our  gross  margins  and  maximize  return  on  our  manufacturing  investments  with  the  intention  of  having  our  product  strategy 
drive  our  manufacturing  footprint  and  capital  investments.  In  2023,  our  focus  will  be  on  ramping  up  manufacturing  at  our 
recently acquired East Fishkill, New York fabrication (“EFK”) facility, as well as investing to expand our facilities in the Czech 
Republic,  Hudson,  New  Hampshire,  and  South  Korea  to  increase  our  SiC  manufacturing  capabilities  to  meet  the  growing 
demand for our SiC-based solutions. 

See Note 5: ‘‘Acquisitions and Divestitures’’ in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in 
this Form 10-K for additional information related to our acquisition and divestiture activity. 

Recent Acquisitions 

On  December  31,  2022,  we  completed  our  acquisition  of  the  EFK  facility  and  certain  other  assets  and  liabilities  from 
GLOBALFOUNDRIES  U.S.  Inc.  (“GFUS”),  which  was  previously  announced  in  April  2019,  for  total  consideration  of 

5 

$406.3 million. In connection with the acquisition agreement, we paid GFUS $100.0 million and $70.0 million during 2020 and 
2019, respectively, with the balance of $236.3 million paid on January 3, 2023. In addition, in 2019 we paid GFUS a one-time 
license  fee  of  $30.0  million  for  certain  technology,  which  has  been  recognized  as  an intangible  asset  subject  to  amortization. 
The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination. 

On  October  28,  2021,  we  completed  our  acquisition  of  GT  Advanced  Technologies  Inc.  (“GTAT”),  a  producer  of  SiC 
substrates. The purchase price for the acquisition was $434.9 million, which included cash consideration of $424.6 million and 
effective  settlement  of  pre-acquisition  balances  (non-cash)  of  approximately  $10.0  million,  in  exchange  for  all  of  the 
outstanding  equity  interests  of  GTAT.  We  believe  the  acquisition  of  GTAT  will  act  as  a  building  block  to  fuel  growth  and 
secure supply of SiC to meet growing customer demand for SiC-based solutions. 

Completed Divestitures of Certain Manufacturing Facilities 

During 2022, in line with our business strategy, we divested our wafer manufacturing facilities in Oudenaarde, Belgium, South 
Portland, Maine, Pocatello, Idaho and Niigata, Japan. We agreed to wafer supply agreements with the respective buyers of these 
facilities to ensure that there is no disruption in our ability to meet customer demand for our products. 

See Note 5: “Acquisitions and Divestitures” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in 
this Form 10-K for additional information. 

New Legislation 

In August 2022, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act, H.R. 4346 (the “CHIPS Act”) and 
the  Inflation  Reduction  Act,  H.R.  5376  (the  “IR  Act”)  were  signed  into  law.  Among  other  things,  the  CHIPS  Act  provides 
various  incentives  and  tax  credits  to  United  States  companies  for  research,  development,  manufacturing  and  workforce 
development  in  domestic  semiconductor  manufacturing.  The  IR  Act  introduces  a  15%  corporate  alternative  minimum  tax 
(“CAMT”) for certain corporations and a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases. The Company is evaluating the provisions 
of  the  new  laws  and  the  potential  impacts  to  the  Company.  See  Note  4:  ‘‘Recent  Accounting  Pronouncements  and  Other 
Developments’’’  in  the  notes  to  our  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  included  elsewhere  in  this  Form  10-K  for 
additional information. 

Revenue-Generating Activities 

onsemi  generates  revenue  from  the  sale  of  semiconductor  products  to  distributors  and  direct  customers.  We  also  generate 
revenue, to a much lesser extent, from product development agreements and manufacturing services provided to customers. We 
believe  that  our  ability  to  offer  a  broad  range  of  products,  combined  with  our  global  manufacturing  and  logistics  network, 
provides our customers with single source purchasing.

Products and Technology 

The following provides certain information regarding the products and technologies for each of our operating segments. 

PSG 

PSG offers  a wide array of analog, discrete,  module and integrated  semiconductor  products  that perform multiple  application 
functions, including power switching, power conversion, signal conditioning, circuit protection, signal amplification and voltage 
regulation functions. The trends driving growth within our end-user markets are primarily higher power efficiency and power 
density  in  power  applications,  the  demand  for  greater  functionality,  and  faster  data  transmission  rates  in  all  communications. 
The advancement of existing volt electrical infrastructure, electrification of power train in the form of EV/HEV, higher trench 
density enabling lower losses in power efficient packages and lower capacitance and integrated signal conditioning products to 
support faster data transmission rates significantly increase the use of high-power semiconductor solutions. The recent increase 
in the use of WBG MOSFETs and diodes, including SiC and IGBT, is further expanding the use of semiconductor products. 

ASG 

ASG designs and develops analog, mixed-signal, advanced logic, ASSPs and ASICs, RF and integrated power solutions for a 
broad base of end-users in different end-markets. Our product solutions enable industry leading active mode and standby mode 
efficiency  now  demanded  by  regulatory  agencies  around  the  world.  Additionally,  ASG  offers  trusted  foundry  and  design 
services for our government customers, which leverages our broad range of manufacturing, IC design, packaging, and silicon 
technology offerings to provide turn-key solutions for our customers. 

ISG 

ISG designs and develops CMOS image sensors, image signal processors, single photon detectors, including SiPM and SPAD 
arrays,  as  well  as  actuator  drivers  for  autofocus  and  image  stabilization  for  a  broad  base  of  end-users  in  the  different 
end-markets.  Our  broad  range  of  product  offerings  delivers  excellent  pixel  performance,  sensor  functionality  and  camera 
systems  capabilities  in  which  high  quality  visual  imagery  is  becoming  increasingly  important  to  our  customers  and  their 
end-users, particularly in automotive and factory automation and in applications powered by AI. 

Customers 

We sell our products to distributors and direct customers for ultimate use in a variety of end-products in different end-markets. 
In  general,  we  have  maintained  long-term  relationships  with  our  key  customers  and  our  sales  agreements  are  renewable 
periodically and contain certain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, warranty and supply. During 2022, we 
entered into a number of long-term supply agreements with certain strategic end-customers, which generally include minimum 
purchase commitments. Certain of our agreements, subject to our standard terms and conditions, have provisions allowing for 
termination at any time for convenience by either party. 

We generally warrant that products sold to our customers will, at the time of shipment, be free from defects in workmanship and 
materials and conform to our approved specifications. Our standard warranty extends for a period of two years from the date of 
delivery,  except  in  the  case  of  image  sensor  products,  which  are  warrantied  for  one  year  from  the  date  of  delivery.  Unless 
otherwise  agreed  in  writing  with  our  customers,  they  may  cancel  orders  120  days  prior  to  shipment  for  standard  products 
without penalty and, for custom products, prior to shipment, provided they pay onsemi’s actual costs incurred as of the date we 
receive the cancellation notice. The loss of one of our large customers would have a material adverse effect on the operations of 
the respective segment, and may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations. 

Distributors 

Sales  to  distributors  accounted  for  approximately  58%  of  our  revenue  in  2022,  64%  of  our  revenue  in  2021  and  60%  of  our 
revenue  in  2020.  We  had  one  distributor  whose  revenue  accounted  for  approximately  12%  of  the  total  revenue  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2022. Our distributors resell our products to contract manufacturers, OEMs among other companies. Sales 
to  distributors  are  typically  made  pursuant  to  agreements  that  provide  return  rights  and  stock  rotation  provisions  permitting 
limited levels of product returns. 

7 

Direct Customers 

Sales to direct customers, accounted for approximately 42% of our revenue in 2022, 36% of our revenue in 2021 and 40% of 
our revenue in 2020. Large multi-nationals and selected regional OEMs, which are significant in specific markets, form our core 
direct customers. Generally, these customers do not have the right to return our products following a sale other than pursuant to 
our warranty. 

For  additional  information  regarding  agreements  with  our  customers,  see  “Markets,”  “Resources”  and  “Risk  Factors-Trends, 
Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K and Note 2: “Significant Accounting 
Policies”  under  the  heading  “Revenue  Recognition”  in  the  notes  to  our  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  included 
elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Competition 

We face significant competition from major international semiconductor companies, as well as smaller companies focused on 
specific market niches. Because some of our components include functionality that in some cases may be integrated into more 
complex ICs, we also face competition from manufacturers of ICs, ASICs and fully-customized ICs, as well as customers who 
develop  their  own  IC  products.  See  “Risk  Factors—Trends,  Risks  and  Uncertainties  Related  to  Our  Business”  included 
elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information. 

Some  of  our  competitors  have  greater  financial  and  other  resources  to  pursue  development,  engineering,  manufacturing, 
marketing  and  distribution  of  their  products  and  may  generally  be  better  situated  to  withstand  adverse  economic  or  market 
conditions.  The  semiconductor  industry  has  experienced,  and  may  continue  to  experience,  significant  consolidation  among 
companies and vertical integration among customers. The following discusses the effects of competition on our three operating 
segments: 

PSG 

Our competitive strengths include our core competencies of leading-edge fabrication technologies, micro and module packaging 
expertise,  breadth  of  product  line  and  IP  portfolio,  high  quality  cost  effective  manufacturing  and  supply  chain  management, 
which ensures supply to our customers. Our commitment to continual innovation allows us to provide an ever broader range of 
semiconductor  solutions  to  our  customers  who  differentiate  in  power  density  and  power  efficiency,  the  key  performance 
characteristics driving our markets. 

The principal methods of competition in our discrete, module and integrated semiconductor products are through new products 
and  package  innovations  enabling  enhanced  performance  over  existing  products.  Of  particular  importance  are  our  intelligent 
power technologies based on silicon and SiC wide band gap technologies, which we use to design, manufacture, and deliver to 
our customers  as bare die, packaged discrete  solutions  or power module solutions.  In addition  to our power technologies,  we 
believe our integrated circuit, signal and protection technologies have significant performance advantages over our competition. 
PSG’s primary competitors include: Infineon Technologies AG (“Infineon”), STMicroelectronics N.V. (“STMicroelectronics”), 
Wolfspeed Inc., Texas Instruments Incorporated (“TI”) and Nexperia BV. 

ASG 

ASG principally competes on design experience, manufacturing capability, depth and quality of IP, ability to service customer 
needs from the design phase to the shipping of a completed product, length of design cycle, longevity of technology support and 
experience  of  sales  and  technical  support  personnel.  Our  competitive  position  with  respect  to  the  above  basis  is  enhanced  by 
long-standing relationships with leading direct customers. 

Our ability to compete successfully depends on internal and external variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, 
the  timeliness  with  which  we  can  develop  new  products  and  technologies,  product  performance  and  quality,  manufacturing 
yields and availability of supply, customer service, pricing, industry trends and general economic trends. Competitors for certain 
of ASG’s products and solutions include: Infineon, NXP Semiconductors N.V. (“NXP”), STMicroelectronics and TI. 

ISG 

ISG  differentiates  itself  from  the  competition  through  deep  technical  knowledge  and  close  customer  relationships  to  drive 
leading edge sensing performance for both human and machine vision applications. ISG has significant imaging experience and 
was one of the earliest to commercialize CMOS active pixel sensors and introduce CMOS technology in many of our markets. 
ISG  has  leveraged  this  expertise  into  market  leading  positions  in  automotive  and  industrial  applications,  which  allows  us  to 
offer  technical  and  end-user  applications  knowledge  to  help  customers  develop  innovative  sensing  solutions  across  a  broad 
range of end-user needs. 

Competitors  for  certain  of  ISG’s  products  and  solutions  include:  Sony  Semiconductor  Manufacturing  Corporation,  Samsung 
Electronics Co., Ltd., and Omnivision Technologies Inc. 

Sales, Marketing and Distribution 

We have global distribution centers in China, the Philippines and Singapore. Global and regional distribution channels further 
support our customers’ needs for quick response and service. We offer efficient, cost-effective global applications support from 
our technical information centers and solution engineering centers, allowing for applications that are developed in one region of 

9 

the world to be instantaneously available throughout all other regions. 

Backlog 

Our sales are made primarily pursuant to orders that are booked as far as 52 weeks in advance of delivery. Generally, prices and 
quantities are fixed at the time of booking. Backlog as of a given date consists of existing orders and forecasted demand from 
our customers,  in each case scheduled to be shipped in the current or future period. Backlog is influenced by several factors, 
including market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product lead times. 

In  the  semiconductor  industry,  backlog  quantities  and  shipment  schedules  under  outstanding  purchase  orders  are  frequently 
revised  to  reflect  changes  in  customer  needs.  Historically,  a significant  portion  of  our  backlog  was cancellable,  however,  our 
current  agreements,  including  orders  subject  to minimum  purchase commitments  under our longer-term  supply arrangements, 
are not subject to cancellation, unless otherwise mutually agreed. 

Resources 

Raw Materials 

Our manufacturing processes use many raw materials, including silicon wafers, SiC wafers, laminate substrates, gold, copper, 
lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and various chemicals and gases as well as other production supplies used in 
our manufacturing processes. We seek to obtain our raw materials and supplies in a timely, planned manner from our suppliers 
to allow for our manufacturing  cycle to align with the timing of our customer demands. However, suppliers may extend lead 
times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors beyond our control, including any caused by 
the COVID-19 pandemic or other public health crises.

Manufacturing and Design Operations 

We currently have domestic design operations in Arizona, California, Idaho, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, 
Texas,  Utah  and  Virginia.  We  also  have  foreign  design  operations  in  Belgium,  Canada,  China,  the  Czech  Republic,  France, 
Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Romania, Singapore, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, 
Switzerland, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. In October 2022, we ceased operations at our design locations in Australia and 
Russia  as  part  of  the  exit  plan  to  wind  down  QCS.  We  operate  front-end  wafer  fabrication  facilities  in  the  Czech  Republic, 
Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the United States and back-end assembly and test site facilities in Canada, China, Malaysia,

All of our manufacturing facilities are fully owned and operated by us, except our assembly and test operations facility located 
in Leshan, China, which is owned by Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited, a joint venture company in which we 
own 80% of the outstanding equity interests (“Leshan”). The financial and operating results of Leshan have been consolidated 
in  our  financial  statements.  Our  joint  venture  partner  is  Leshan  Radio  Company  Ltd.  (“Leshan  Radio”),  is  formerly  a  state-
owned enterprise. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement between us and Leshan Radio, requests for production capacity are 
made  to  the  board  of  directors  of  Leshan  by  each  shareholder  of  the  joint  venture.  Each  request  represents  a  purchase 
commitment, provided that any shareholder may elect to pay the cost associated with the unused capacity (which is generally 
equal to the fixed cost of the capacity) in lieu of satisfying the commitment. We purchased 80% of Leshan’s production capacity 
in each of 2022, 2021 and 2020 and are currently committed to purchase approximately 80% of Leshan’s expected production 
capacity in 2023. 

We use third-party contractors for some of our manufacturing activities, primarily for wafer fabrication and the assembly and 
testing of finished goods. Our agreements with these contract manufacturers typically require us to forecast product needs and 
commit to purchase services consistent with these forecasts. In some cases, longer-term commitments are required in the early 
stages of the relationship. These manufacturers collectively accounted for approximately 43% of our total manufacturing input 
costs in 2022, 37% in 2021 and 33% in 2020. 

For  information  regarding  risks  associated  with  our  foreign  operations,  see  “Risk  Factors  —  Trends,  Risks  and  Uncertainties 
Related to Our Business” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Other Intellectual Property Rights 

We market our products under worldwide trademarks including the ON Semiconductor, ON, onsemi, and various product names 
and logos, and, in the United States and internationally, we rely primarily on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, 
trade  secrets,  employee  and  non-disclosure  agreements  and  licensing  agreements  to  protect  our  IP.  We  acquired  or  were 
licensed  or  sublicensed  to  a  significant  amount  of  IP,  including  patents  and  patent  applications,  in  connection  with  our 
acquisitions, and we have numerous United States and foreign patents issued, allowed and pending. As of December 31, 2022, 
we held patents with expiration dates ranging from 2023 to 2043, and none of the patents that expire in the next three years are 
expected to materially affect our business. We do not consider our business substantially dependent on any single onsemi patent. 
Our policy is to protect our products and processes by asserting our IP rights where appropriate and prudent and by obtaining 
patents, copyrights and other IP rights used in connection with our business when practicable and appropriate. 

For  information  regarding  risks  associated  with  intellectual  property,  see  “Risk  Factors  —  Trends,  Risks  and  Uncertainties 
Related to Intellectual Property” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Seasonality 

We believe our business today is driven more by content gains within applications and secular growth drivers and not solely by 
macroeconomic  and  industry  cyclicality,  as  was  the  case  historically.  Our  2022  results  were  positively  influenced  by 
macroeconomic  factors  including  a  better-than-expected  demand  and  recovery  from  the  COVID-19  pandemic  along  with  our 
efforts  focused  on  price  increases,  better  utilization,  product  diversification  and  content  gains.  We  could  again  experience 
period-to-period  fluctuations  in  operating  results  due  to  general  industry  or  macroeconomic  conditions.  For  information 
regarding  risks  associated  with  the  cyclicality  and  seasonality  of  our  business,  see  “Risk  Factors—Trends,  Risks  and 
Uncertainties Related to Our Business” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Government Regulation 

Our manufacturing operations are subject to environmental and worker health and safety laws and regulations. These laws and 
regulations include those relating to emissions and discharges into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous 
substances,  the  release  of  hazardous  substances  into  the  environment  at  or  from  our  facilities  and  at  other  sites  and  the 
investigation  and  remediation  of  contamination.  As  with  other  companies  engaged  in  like  businesses,  the  nature  of  our 
operations exposes us to the risk of liabilities  and claims, regardless of fault, with respect to such matters, including personal 
injury claims and civil and criminal fines. 

We  believe  that  our  operations  are  in  material  compliance  with  applicable  environmental  and  health  and  safety  laws  and 
regulations.  The  costs  we  incurred  in  complying  with  applicable  environmental  regulations  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2022 were not material, and we do not expect the cost of complying with existing environmental and health and safety laws and 
regulations, together with any liabilities for currently known environmental conditions, to have a material adverse effect on our 
capital  expenditures  or  earnings  or  on  our  competitive  position.  It  is  possible,  however,  that  future  developments,  including 

12 

changes  in  laws  and  regulations,  government  policies,  customer  specification,  personnel  and  physical  property  conditions, 
including currently undiscovered contamination, could lead to material costs, and such costs may have a material adverse effect 
on our future business or prospects. See Note 13: ‘‘Commitments and Contingencies’’ in the notes to our audited consolidated 
financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for information on certain environmental matters. 

We  are  also  subject  to  numerous  United  States  and  foreign  laws  and  regulations,  including,  without  limitation,  tariffs,  trade 
sanctions,  trade  barriers,  trade  embargoes,  regulations  relating  to  import-export  control,  technology  transfer  restrictions,  the 
International  Traffic  in  Arms  Regulation  promulgated  under  the  Arms  Export  Control  Act  (“ITAR”),  the  Foreign  Corrupt 
Practices Act (“FCPA”), and the anti-boycott provisions of the U.S. Export Administration Act. Additionally, United States or 
China governmental authorities have taken, and may continue to take, administrative, legislative or regulatory action that could 
impact our operations. 

We believe that our operations  are in material  compliance  with applicable  trade regulations  relating  to import-export  control, 
technology  transfer  restrictions,  ITAR, FCPA, the  anti-boycott  provisions  of  the  U.S. Export  Administration  Act,  and similar 
applicable  laws  and  regulations.  The  costs  we  incurred  in  complying  with  applicable  trade  regulations  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2022 were not material, and we do not expect the cost of complying with existing trade laws and regulations to 
have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures or earnings or on our competitive position. It is possible, however, 
that future developments, including changes in laws and regulations or government policies, could lead to material costs, and 
such costs may have a material  adverse effect on our future business or prospects. For information regarding risks associated 
with  import-export  control  regulations  and  similar  applicable  laws  and  regulations,  see  “Risk  Factors—Trends,  Risks  and 
Uncertainties Related to Our Business” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Mountain  Top,  Pennsylvania  manufacturing  facility.  Certain  of  our  foreign  employees  are  covered  by  collective  bargaining 
arrangements  (e.g.,  those  in  China,  Vietnam,  Japan,  the  Czech  Republic  and  Belgium)  or  similar  arrangements  or  are 
represented by workers councils. 

The disclosed headcount information does not include the addition of approximately 1,050 full-time employees who joined the 
Company as part of the EFK acquisition, which was completed on December 31, 2022, as their employment with onsemi was 
not effective until January 1, 2023. For additional information, see Note 5: ‘‘Acquisitions and Divestitures’’ in the notes to our 
audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 

We  are  consciously  expanding  the  diversity  of  our  workforce,  creating  growth  and  development  opportunities  for  our 
employees,  embracing  different  perspectives  and  fostering  an  inclusive  work  environment.  We  have  organization-level  and 
overall  metrics  to  monitor  for  diverse  director-level  and  above  employees,  diverse  new  hires  and  diverse  promotions.  Our 
Human  Resources  organization  and  the  Human  Capital  and  Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  through  its 
charter, provides oversight of our policies, programs and initiatives focusing on workflow equity and workplace inclusion. 

Compensation, Benefits, Health, Safety and Wellness 

Our  compensation  philosophy  is  focused  on  delivering  competitive  compensation  with  total  rewards  based  on  corporate 
affordability  in a way that enables attraction, retention, and recognition of performance delivered in an equitable manner. We 
provide  our  employees  and  their  families  with  access  to  flexible  and  convenient  health  and  wellness  programs,  including 
benefits that secure them during events that may require time away from work or that impact their financial well-being. We use 
a combination of total rewards and other programs (which vary by region and salary grade) to attract and retain our employees, 
including:  annual  performance  bonuses;  stock  awards,  including  an  employee  stock  purchase  plan;  retirement  support; 
healthcare  and  insurance  benefits;  business  travel  and  disability  insurance;  health  savings  and  flexible  spending  accounts; 
flexible  work  schedules,  vacation  and  paid  time  off;  parental  leave;  paid  counseling  assistance;  backup  child  and  adult  care; 
education assistance; and on-site services, such as health centers and fitness centers. 

Career Growth and Development 

We invest resources in professional development and growth as a means of improving employee motivation, performance and 
improving  retention.  Our  talent  development  programs  provide  employees  with  the  resources  they  need  to  help  achieve  their 
career goals, build management skills and lead their organizations. We have established a leadership pathway model as a tool 
for employees to practice and apply learning as part of their development. 

Turnover 

We monitor employee turnover rates by region and globally. The average tenure of our employees is approximately seven years 
and approximately one-fifth of our employees have been employed by us for more than 10 years. We believe our compensation 
philosophy  along  with  the  career  growth  and  development  opportunities  promotes  longer  employee  tenure  and  reduces 
voluntary turnover.

Item 1A. Risk Factors 

Forward-Looking Statements 

This  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  includes  “forward-looking  statements,”  as  that  term  is  defined  in  Section  27A  of  the 
Securities  Act  and  Section  21E  of  the  Exchange  Act.  All  statements,  other  than  statements  of  historical  facts,  included  or 
incorporated in this Form 10-K could be deemed forward-looking statements, particularly statements about our plans, strategies 
and prospects under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” 
and  “Business.”  Forward-looking  statements  are  often  characterized  by  the  use  of  words  such  as  “believes,”  “estimates,” 
“expects,”  “projects,”  “may,”  “will,”  “intends,”  “plans,”  “anticipates,”  “should”  or  similar  expressions,  or  by  discussions  of 
strategy,  plans  or  intentions.  All  forward-looking  statements  in  this  Form  10-K  are  made  based  on  our  current  expectations, 
forecasts,  estimates  and  assumptions,  and  involve  risks,  uncertainties  and  other  factors  that  could  cause  results  or  events  to 
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to 
differ  materially  from  those  anticipated  in  the  forward-looking  statements  are  described  below.  Readers  are  cautioned  not  to 
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update such information, which speak only as 
of the date made, except as may be required by law. 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty, and you should carefully consider the trends, risks and 
uncertainties  described  below  and  other  information  in  this  Form  10-K  and  subsequent  reports  filed  with  or  furnished  to  the 
SEC before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. The risk factors described herein are not all of the 
risks we may face. Other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may materially affect our 
business. If any of the following trends, risks or uncertainties actually occurs or continues, our business, financial condition or 
operating  results  could  be  materially  and adversely  affected,  the  trading  prices  of  our  securities  could  decline,  and you could 
lose  all  or  part  of  your  investment.  All  forward-looking  statements  attributable  to  us  or  persons  acting  on  our  behalf  are 
expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business 

The manufacturing and other operations required to produce our products are highly dependent on the efficient operation of 
numerous processes, including processes contingent upon third party component manufacturers and other service providers, 
and any disruption in these processes could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. 

Our  manufacturing  network  includes  multiple  owned  and  third-party  facilities,  which  may  each  produce  one  or  more 
components necessary for the assembly of a single product. As a result of this interdependence, an operational disruption at a 
facility may have a disproportionate impact on our ability to produce many of our products. In the event of a disruption at any 
such facility, we may be unable to effectively source replacement components on acceptable terms from qualified third parties, 
in which case our ability to produce many of our products could be materially disrupted or delayed. Conversely, some of our 
facilities  are  single  source  facilities  that  only  produce  one  of  our  end-products,  and  a  disruption  at  any  such  facility  would 
materially delay or cease production of the related product. In the event of any such operational disruption, we may experience 
difficulty in beginning production of replacement components or products at new facilities or transferring production to other 

16 

existing facilities, any of which could result in a loss of future revenues and materially adversely affect our business and results 
of operations. 

In  addition,  for  certain  manufacturing  activities  and  for  the  supply  of  raw  materials,  we  utilize  third-party  suppliers.  Our 
agreements  with  these  manufacturers  typically  require  us  to  commit  to  purchase  services  based  on  forecasted  product  needs, 
which may be inaccurate, and, in some cases, require longer-term commitments. We are also dependent upon a limited number 
of highly specialized third-party suppliers for required components and materials for certain of our key technologies. Arranging 
for  replacement  manufacturers  and  suppliers  can  be  time-consuming  and  costly,  and  the  number  of  qualified  alternative 
providers can be extremely limited. Our business operations, productivity and customer relations could be materially adversely 
affected  if  these  contractual  relationships  were  disrupted  or  terminated,  the  cost  of  such  services  increased  significantly,  the 
quality  of  the  services  provided  deteriorated  or  our  forecasted  needs  proved  to  be  materially  incorrect.  Generally,  our 
agreements  with  suppliers  of  raw  materials  impose  no  minimum  or  continuing  supply  obligations,  and  we  obtain  our  raw 
materials and supplies from a large number of sources. Shortages could occur in various essential raw materials, and if we are 
unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner, the costs of our raw materials increases significantly, 
their quality deteriorates or they give rise to compatibility or performance issues in our products, our results of operations could 
be materially adversely affected. 

Our  manufacturing  efficiency  is  contingent  upon  the  operations  of  these  interdependent  processes  and  will  continue  to  be  an 
important factor in our future profitability,  and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain this manufacturing 
efficiency,  increase  manufacturing  efficiency  to  the  same  extent  as  our  competitors,  or  be  successful  in  our  manufacturing 
rationalization  plans.  If  we  are  unable  to  utilize  our  manufacturing  facilities,  testing  facilities  and  external  manufacturers  at 
expected or minimum purchase obligation levels, or if production capacity increases while revenue does not, the fixed costs and 
other operating expenses associated with these facilities and arrangements will not be fully absorbed, resulting in higher average 
unit costs and lower gross profits, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 

We may be unable to implement certain business strategies and any issue with the pursuit of such business strategies could 
materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. 

We  may  from  time  to  time  determine  to  implement  business  strategies  and  restructuring  initiatives  in  order  to  remain 
competitive. Because our strategies and restructuring activities may involve changes to many aspects of our business, including 
the location of our production facilities and personnel and the potential exit of certain product lines and businesses, our ability to 
successfully do so depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If we are not able to effectively 
manage or efficiently implement these strategies and/or restructuring initiatives for reasons within or outside of our control, then 
our business operations could be materially adversely affected. 

In addition, implementation of a business strategy may lead to the disruption of our existing business operations. For example, 
following the announcement of our commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2040, we may take actions to pursue our 
goal  of  generating  net-zero  emissions  that  may  result  in  material  expenditures  that  could  impact  our  financial  condition  or 
results of operations and/or could disrupt our existing operations. Similarly, the contingent risks associated with transferring our 
existing operations to an acquirer, as is the case with several transition services being provided in connection with our recent 
divestitures, could materially impact our financial condition or results of operations and/or could disrupt our existing operations. 
Furthermore,  our  increased  investment  in  manufacturing  capacity  (including  the  recent  acquisition  of  EFK  and  increased 
investment  in  capacity  for  SiC-based  products  and  technology),  while  concurrently  winding  down  our  QCS  business  and 
divesting other non-strategic operations, may adversely impact our existing operations, require additional management time and 
effort to implement successfully, and lead to higher than anticipated capital expenditures. 

As we continue to increase production of SiC-based products and ramp manufacturing at EFK and at our facilities in Hudson, 
New Hampshire, the Czech Republic and South Korea, we may face challenges or risks related to: increased capital spending 
and  long-term  capital  expenditure  commitments,  installing  and  qualifying  new  manufacturing  equipment,  meeting  planned 
process  yields,  maintaining  suitable  quality  control  and  educating  or  providing  employees  with  the  requisite  know-how  to 
operate  the  processes  at  our  expanded  manufacturing  facilities.  There  are  inherent  execution  risks  in  expanding  production 
capacity,  whether  at  one  of  our  own  factories  or  at  a  third  party  that  we  utilize,  all  of  which  could  increase  our  costs  and 
negatively impact our operating results. 

The failure  to successfully  and timely realize  the anticipated  benefits of these transactions  or strategies could have a material 
adverse  effect  on  our  profitability,  financial  condition  or  results  of  operations.  In  addition,  even  if  we  fully  execute  and 
implement  these  activities,  there  may  be  other  unforeseeable  and  unintended  consequences  that  could  materially  adversely 
impact our profitability and business, including unintended employee attrition or harm to our competitive position. To the extent 
that  we  do  not  achieve  the  profitability  enhancement  or  other  anticipated  benefits  of  strategy  or  restructuring  initiatives,  our 
results of operations may be materially adversely affected. 

17 

If  we  are  unable  to  identify  and  make  the  substantial  research  and  development  investments  or  develop  new  products 
required to satisfy customer demands, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely 
affected. 

The  semiconductor  industry  requires  substantial  investment  in  research  and  development  in  order  to  develop  and  bring  to 
market enhanced technologies and products. The development of new products is complex and time-consuming, often requiring 
significant  capital  investment  and  lead  time  for  development  and  testing.  We  cannot  assure  you  that  we  will  have  sufficient 
resources  to  maintain  the  level  of  investment  in  research  and  development  required  to  remain  competitive.  In  addition,  the 
lengthy development cycle for certain of our products could limit our ability to adapt quickly to changes affecting the product 
markets  and  requirements  of  our  customers  and  end-users,  and  we  may  be  unable  to  develop  innovative  responses  to  our 
customers’  and end-users’  evolving needs on the timelines  they require or at all. There can be no assurance that we will win 
competitive bid selection processes, known as “design wins,” for new products. In addition, design wins do not guarantee that 
we will make customer sales or generate sufficient revenue to recover design and development investments, realize a return on 
the capital expended or achieve expected gross margins, as expenditures for technology and product development are generally 
made before the commercial viability for such developments can be assured. To the extent that we underinvest in our research 
and  development  efforts,  fail  to  recognize  the  need  for  innovation  with  respect  to  our  products,  or  that  our  investments  and 
capital  expenditures  in research  and development  do not lead to sales of new products, we may be unable to bring to market 
technologies  and  products  attractive  to  customers,  and  so  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  may  be 
materially adversely affected. Further, products that are commercially viable may not have an immediate impact on our revenue 
or contribute to our operating results in a meaningful way until at least a few years after they are introduced into the market. 

The semiconductor  industry  is characterized  by rapidly  changing technologies,  innovation,  short product life cycles, evolving 
regulatory and industry standards and certifications, changing customer needs and frequent new product introductions. Products 
are  frequently  replaced  by  more  technologically  advanced  substitutes  and,  as  demand  for  older  technology  falls,  the  price  at 
which such products can be sold drops. If we cannot advance our process technologies or improve our production efficiencies to 
a degree sufficient to maintain required margins, we will no longer be able to make a profit from the sale of older products. In 
certain  limited  cases,  we  may  not  be  able  to  cease  production  of  older  products,  either  due  to  contractual  obligations  or  for 
customer relationship reasons and, as a result, may be required to bear a loss on such products for a sustained period of time. If 
reductions  in  our  production  costs  fail  to  keep  pace  with  reductions  in  market  prices  for  products  we  sell,  our  business  and 
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If our new product development efforts fail to align with the needs 
of our customers, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. 

The  semiconductor  industry  is  highly  competitive,  and  has  experienced  significant  consolidation,  and  if  we  are  unable  to 
compete effectively or identify attractive opportunities for consolidation, it could materially adversely affect our business and 
results of operations. 

Our  ability  to  compete  successfully  in  the  highly  competitive  semiconductor  industry  depends  on  elements  both  within  and 
outside  of  our  control.  We  face  significant  competition  within  each  of  our  product  lines  from  major  global  semiconductor 
companies  as  well  as  smaller  companies  focused  on  specific  market  niches.  In  addition,  companies  not  currently  in  direct 
competition with us may introduce competing products in the future. 

If we are unable to compete effectively, our competitive position could be weakened relative to our peers, which would have a 
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Products or technologies developed by competitors may render 
our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. We also may be unable to market and sell our products if they are not 
competitive on the basis of price, quality, technical performance, features, system compatibility, customized design, innovation, 
availability,  delivery  timing  and  reliability.  If  we  fail  to  compete  effectively  on  developing  strategic  relationships  with 
customers and customer sales and technical support, our sales and revenue may be materially adversely affected. Competitive 
pressures may limit our ability to raise prices, and any inability to maintain revenue or raise prices to offset increases in costs 
could have a significant adverse effect on our gross margin. Our gross margins vary due to a variety of factors. Reduced sales 
and lower gross margins would materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. 

The semiconductor industry has experienced, and may continue to experience, significant consolidation among companies and 
vertical  integration  among customers.  Larger competitors  resulting  from consolidations  may have certain  advantages over us, 
and we may be at a competitive disadvantage if we fail to identify attractive opportunities to acquire companies to expand our 
business. Consolidation among competitors and integration among customers could erode our market share, impair our capacity 
to compete and require us to restructure operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. 

In  addition,  although  the  CHIPS  Act  provides  various  incentives  and  tax  credits  to  United  States  companies  for  domestic 

18 

semiconductor  manufacturing,  we may be unsuccessful (including, relative  to the efforts of our competitors)  in any efforts to 
obtain such incentives and tax credits. 

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our business, results of 
operations and financial condition. 

Our business has been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to 
global macroeconomic effects, the COVID-19 pandemic and related adverse public health developments have been causing, and 
may  continue  to  cause,  disruption  to  our  domestic  and  international  operations  and  sales  activities.  In  addition,  there  may  be 
associated worker absenteeism, quarantines and restrictions on certain of our employees’ ability to perform their jobs, office and 
factory closures or restrictions, labor shortages, disruptions to ports and other shipping infrastructure, border closures or other 
travel or health-related restrictions. Depending on the magnitude of such effects on our manufacturing activities or those of our 
suppliers, third-party distributors or sub-contractors, our supply chain, manufacturing and product shipments could be delayed, 
which could materially  adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, any economic 
downturn or recession brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic or other public health crises could adversely affect demand for 
our products and impact our results of operations and financial condition. These effects, alone or taken together, could have a 
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, legal exposure, or financial condition. 

Because  a  significant  portion  of  our  revenue  is  derived  from  customers  in  the  automotive  and  industrial  end-markets,  a 
downturn  or  lower  sales  to  customers  in  either  end-market  could  materially  adversely  affect  our  business  and  results  of 
operations. 

A  significant  portion  of  our  sales  are  to  customers  within  the  automotive  industry  and  the  industrial  sector.  Sales  into  the 
automotive  and industrial  end-markets  represented  approximately  40.4% and 27.5% of our revenue, respectively,  for the year 
ended  December  31,  2022.  The  automotive  industry  is  cyclical  and  the  industrial  sector  tends  to  thrive  during  a  time  of 
economic expansion, and, as a result, our customers in each end-market are sensitive to changes in general economic conditions, 
inflationary pressure, disruptive innovation and end-market preferences, which can adversely affect sales of our products and, 
correspondingly,  our  results  of  operations.  Additionally,  the  quantity  and  price  of  our  products  sold  to  customers  in  each 
end-market  could  decline  despite  continued  growth  in  such  end-markets.  Lower  sales  to  customers  in  either  end-market  may 
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business  and  results  of  operations.  Further,  to  the  extent  we  have  long-term  supply 
agreements with our customers which includes fixed pricing, we could be subject to fluctuating manufacturing costs that could 
negatively impact our profitability. Additionally, under our long-term supply agreements, we could incur certain obligations if 
we are not able to fulfill our commitments. 

Our operating results depend, in part, on the performance of independent distributors. 

A portion of our sales occurs through global and regional distributors that are not under our control. We rely on distributors to 
grow  and  develop  their  customer  base  and  anticipate  customer  needs,  and  any  lack  of  such  actions  by  our  distributors  may 
adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations.  These  independent  distributors  also  generally  represent  product  lines  offered  by 
several  companies  and  are  not  subject  to  any  minimum  sales  requirements  or  obligation  to  market  our  products  to  their 
customers. In turn, distributors could reduce their sales efforts for our products or choose to terminate their representation of us. 
Additionally,  we  rely  on  our  distributors  to  provide  accurate  and  timely  sales  reports  in  order  for  us  to  be  able  to  generate 
financial  reports  that  accurately  represent  distributor  sales  of  our  products  during  any  given  period.  Any  inaccuracies  or 
untimely reports could adversely affect our ability to produce accurate and timely financial reports and recognize revenue. 

Changes  in,  and  the  regulatory  implementation  of,  tariffs  or  other  government  trade  policies  or  political  conditions  could 
reduce  demand  for  our  products,  limit  our  ability  to  sell  our  products  to  certain  customers  or  our  ability  to  comply  with 
applicable laws and regulations, which may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. 

The imposition of tariffs and trade restrictions as a result of international trade disputes or changes in trade policies or political 
conditions  may  adversely  affect  our  sales  and  profitability.  For  example,  additional  tariffs  and  the  related  geopolitical 
uncertainty between the United States and China and other countries may cause decreased end-market demand for our products 
from  distributors  and  other  customers,  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business  and  results  of  operations. 
More  specifically,  our  assembly  and  test  operations  facility  located  in  Leshan,  China,  which  is  owned  by  Leshan-Phoenix 
Semiconductor Company Limited, a joint venture company in which we own 80% of the outstanding equity interests, may be 
subjected to increased costs or additional trade restrictions stemming from the geopolitical tension between the U.S. and China. 
Additional tariffs or trade restrictions between the two countries could materially adversely affect our results of operations. 

In addition, tariffs on components that we import from certain nations that have imposed, or may in the future impose, tariffs 

19 

may adversely affect our profitability unless we are able to exclude such components from the tariffs or we raise prices for our 
products,  which  may  result  in  our  products  becoming  less  attractive  relative  to  products  offered  by  our  competitors.  To  the 
extent that our sales or profitability are negatively affected by any such tariffs or other trade actions, our business and results of 
operations may be materially adversely affected. 

Our international sales and purchases are subject to numerous United States and foreign laws and regulations related to import 
and export matters. For example, licenses or proper license exceptions are required for the shipment of our products to certain 
countries  under  applicable  export  control  regulations,  including  the  provisions  of  the  U.S.  Export  Administration  Act.  A 
determination by the United States government or any foreign government that we have failed to comply with trade or export 
regulations  can  result  in  penalties,  including  fines,  administrative,  civil  or  criminal  penalties  or  other  liabilities,  seizure  of 
products,  or,  in  the  extreme  case,  denial  of  export  privileges  or  suspension  or  debarment  from  government  contracts,  which 
could have a material adverse effect on our sales, business and results of operations. 

We may be unable to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. 

Our  success  depends  on  our  ability  to  attract,  motivate  and  retain  highly  skilled  personnel,  including  technical,  marketing, 
management and staff personnel, both in the United States. and internationally. In the semiconductor industry, the competition 
for  qualified  personnel,  particularly  experienced  design  engineers  and  other  technical  employees  is  intense.  Furthermore,  we 
have  operations  in  many  parts  of  the  world  that  are  currently  experiencing  a  tight  labor  market  for  skilled  employees. 
Additionally,  we  have  entered  into  employment  agreements  with  certain  senior  executives,  but  we  do  not  have  employment 
agreements with most of our employees. Many of these employees could leave our company with little or no prior notice and 
would be free to work for a competitor. Specific elements of our compensation programs may not be competitive with those of 
our competitors, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our current personnel or recruit the key personnel 
we require. If one or more of our senior executives or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present 
positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all and other senior management may be required to divert attention 
from  other  aspects  of  our  business.  Loss  of  the  services  of,  or  failure  to  effectively  recruit,  qualified  personnel  could  have  a 
material adverse effect on our competitive position and on our business. 

Warranty  claims,  product  liability  claims,  product  recalls,  and  the  failure  to  comply  with  the  terms  and  conditions  of  our 
contracts, could harm our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. 

Manufacturing  semiconductors  is  a  highly  complex  and  precise  process,  requiring  production  in  a  tightly  controlled,  clean 
environment. Minute impurities in our manufacturing materials, contaminants in the manufacturing environment, manufacturing 
equipment  failures,  and  other  defects  can  cause  our  products  to  be  non-compliant  with  customer  requirements  or  otherwise 
nonfunctional.  We  face  an  inherent  business  risk  of  exposure  to  warranty  and  product  liability  claims  in  the  event  that  our 
products fail to perform as expected or such failure of our products results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury or property 
damage  (or  both).  In  addition,  if  any  of  our  designed  products  are  or  are  alleged  to  be  defective,  we  may  be  required  to 
participate in their recall. As suppliers become more integrally involved in electrical design, OEMs are increasingly expecting 
them to warrant their products and are looking to them for contributions when faced with product liability claims or recalls. A 
successful warranty or product liability claim against us in excess of our available insurance coverage, if any, and established 
reserves, or a requirement that we participate in a product recall, could have material adverse effects on our business, results of 
operations and financial condition. Additionally, in the event that our products fail to perform as expected or such failure of our 
products results in a recall, our reputation may be damaged, which could make it more difficult for us to sell our products to 
existing  and  prospective  customers  and  could  materially  adversely  affect  our  business,  reputation,  results  of  operations  and 
financial  condition.  Even  if  our  products  meet  standard  specifications,  our  customers  may  attempt  to  use  our  products  in 
applications for which our products were not designed or in customer products that were not designed or manufactured properly, 
resulting in product failures and creating customer satisfaction issues, which may harm our reputation. 

Since  a  defect  or  failure  in  our  products  could  give  rise  to  failures  in  the  goods  that  incorporate  them  (and  claims  for 
consequential damages against our customers from their customers), we may face claims for damages that are disproportionate 
to the revenue and profits we receive from the products involved. In certain instances, we attempt to limit our liability through 
our  standard  terms  and  conditions  or  other  contractual  provisions,  but  there  is  no  assurance  that  such  limitations  will  be 
effective. To the extent we are liable for damages in excess of the revenue and profits received from the products involved, our 
results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. 

Currency  fluctuations,  changes  in  foreign  exchange  regulations  and  repatriation  delays  and  costs  could  have  a  material 
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 

We  have  sizeable  sales  and  operations  in  the  Asia/Pacific  region  and  Europe  and  a  significant  amount  of  this  business  is 
transacted  in currency other than U.S. dollars. In addition, while a significant  percentage of our cash is generated outside the 

20 

United States, many of our liabilities,  including our outstanding indebtedness, and certain other cash payments, such as share 
repurchases, are payable in the United States in U.S. dollars. As a result, currency fluctuations and changes in foreign exchange 
regulations can have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition. 

In addition, repatriation of funds held outside the U.S. could have adverse tax consequences and could be subject to delay due to 
required  local  country  approvals  or  local  obligations.  Foreign  exchange  regulations  may  also  limit  our  ability  to  convert  or 
repatriate foreign currency. As a result of having a lower amount of cash and cash equivalents in the United States, our financial 
flexibility may be reduced, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to make interest and principal payments 
due  under  our  various  debt  obligations.  Restrictions  on  repatriation  or  the  inability  to  use  cash  held  abroad  to  fund  our 
operations in the United States may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition. 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Intellectual Property 

If our technologies are subject to claims of infringement on the IP rights of others, efforts to address such claims could have 
a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 

We may from time to time be subject to claims that we may be infringing the IP rights of others. If necessary or desirable, we 
may seek licenses under such IP rights. However, we cannot assure you that we will obtain such licenses or that the terms of any 
offered licenses will be acceptable to us. The failure to obtain a license from a third party for IP we use could cause us to incur 
substantial liabilities or to suspend the manufacture or shipment of products or our use of processes requiring such technologies. 
Further, we may be subject to IP litigation, which could cause us to incur significant expense, materially adversely affect sales 
of the challenged product or technologies and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such 
litigation  is  resolved  in  our  favor.  In  the  event  of  an  adverse  outcome  or  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  a  settlement  of  any  such 
litigation,  we may be required to: pay substantial  damages or settlement costs; indemnify customers or distributors;  cease the 
manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products; expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing 
technologies;  discontinue the use of certain processes;  or obtain licenses, which may not be available on reasonable terms, to 
continue the use, development and/or sale of the allegedly infringing technologies. 

The  outcome  of  IP  litigation  is  inherently  uncertain  and,  if  not  resolved  in  our  favor,  could  materially  adversely  affect  our 
business, financial condition and results of operations. 

If we are unable to protect the IP we have developed or licensed, our competitive position, business and results of operations 
could be materially and adversely affected. 

The enforceability of our patents, trademarks, copyrights, software licenses and other IP is uncertain in certain circumstances. 
Effective IP protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in the United States and internationally. The various laws 
and  regulations  governing  our  registered  and  unregistered  IP  assets,  patents,  trade  secrets,  trademarks,  mask  works  and 
copyrights to protect our products and technologies are subject to legislative and regulatory change and interpretation by courts. 
With respect to our IP generally, we cannot assure you that: 

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

any of the substantial number of United States or foreign patents and pending patent applications that we employ in 
our business will not lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, abandoned or licensed to others; 
any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued or have the coverage originally sought; 
any of the  trademarks,  copyrights,  trade secrets,  know-how or mask works that we employ in our business will not 
lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, abandoned or licensed to others; 
any  of  our  pending  or  future  trademark,  copyright,  or  mask  work  applications  will  be  issued  or  have  the  coverage 
originally sought; or 
that we will be able to successfully enforce our IP rights in the United States or foreign countries. 

When we seek to enforce our rights, we are often subject to claims that the IP right is invalid, is otherwise not enforceable or is 
licensed to the party against whom we are asserting a claim. In addition, our assertion of IP rights often results in the other party 
seeking  to  assert  alleged  IP  rights  of  its  own  against  us,  which  may  materially  and  adversely  impact  our  business.  An 
unfavorable ruling in these sorts of matters could include money damages or an injunction prohibiting us from manufacturing or 
selling one or more products, which could in turn negatively affect our business, results of operations or cash flows. 

In addition, some of our products and technologies are not covered by any patents or pending patent applications. We seek to 
protect  our  proprietary  technologies,  including  technologies  that  may  not  be  patented  or  patentable,  in  part  by  confidentiality 
agreements  and,  if  applicable,  inventors’  rights  agreements  with  our  collaborators,  advisors,  employees  and  consultants.  We 
cannot  assure  you  that  these  agreements  will  not  be  breached,  that  we  will  have  adequate  remedies  for  any  breach  or  that 
persons or institutions will not assert rights to IP arising out of our research. Should we be unable to protect our IP, competitors 

21 

may  develop  products  or  technologies  that  duplicate  our  products  or  technologies,  benefit  financially  from  innovations  for 
which  we  bore  the  costs  of  development  and  undercut  the  sales  and  marketing  of  our  products,  all  of  which  could  have  a 
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Technology and Data Privacy 

We  may  be  subject  to  disruptions  or  breaches  of  our  information  technology  systems  that  could  irreparably  damage  our 
reputation and our business, expose us to liability and materially adversely affect our results of operations. 

We routinely collect and store sensitive data, including confidential  and other proprietary  information about our business and 
our  employees,  customers,  suppliers  and  business  partners.  The  secure  processing,  maintenance  and  transmission  of  this 
information is critical to our operations and business strategy. We may be subject to disruptions or breaches of our information 
technology  caused  by  computer  viruses,  illegal  hacking,  criminal  fraud  or  impersonation,  acts  of  vandalism  or  terrorism  or 
employee error. Our cyber security measures and/or those of our third-party service providers and/or customers may not detect 
or prevent such security breaches. The costs to us to reduce the risk of or alleviate cyber security breaches and vulnerabilities 
could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions and delays 
that  may  materially  impede  our  sales,  manufacturing,  distribution  or  other  critical  functions.  Any  such  compromise  of  our 
information security could result in the misappropriation or unauthorized publication of our confidential business or proprietary 
information or that of other parties with which we do business, an interruption in our operations, the unauthorized transfer of 
cash or other of our assets,  the unauthorized release of customer or employee data or a violation of privacy or other laws. In 
addition,  computer  programmers  and  hackers  also  may  be  able  to  develop  and  deploy  viruses,  worms  and  other  malicious 
software  programs  that  attack  our  products,  or  that  otherwise  exploit  any  security  vulnerabilities,  and  any  such  attack,  if 
successful, could expose us to liability to customer claims. Any of the foregoing could irreparably damage our reputation and 
business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 

We are subject to governmental laws, regulations and other legal obligations related to privacy and data protection. 

The legislative and regulatory framework for privacy and data protection issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to 
remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. We collect Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) and other data as part of our 
business  processes  and  activities.  This  data  is  subject  to  a  variety  of  laws  and  regulations,  including  oversight  by  various 
regulatory or other governmental bodies. Many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the European Union and 
other relevant jurisdictions where we conduct business, have laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of PII and 
other data obtained from their residents or by businesses operating within their jurisdictions that are currently more restrictive 
than  those  in  the  United  States.  Additionally,  within  the  United  States,  different  states  have  enacted  various  regulations 
governing the treatment of PII. Any inability, or perceived inability, to adequately address privacy and data protection concerns, 
even if unfounded, or to comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, contractual obligations or other 
legal obligations, could result in additional cost and liability to Company officials or us, including substantial monetary fines, 
and could damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business. 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Regulation 

Environmental and health and safety liabilities and expenditures could materially adversely affect our results of operations 
and financial condition. 

The  semiconductor  industry  has  been  subject  to  increasing  environmental  regulations,  particularly  those  environmental 
regulations  that  control  and  restrict  the  use,  transportation,  emission,  discharge,  storage  and  disposal  of  certain  chemicals, 
elements and materials used or produced in the semiconductor manufacturing process. We also have operations subject to laws 
and regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, which, among other requirements, regulate employee exposure 
to hazardous substances. We have indemnities from third parties for certain environmental and health and safety liabilities for 
periods prior to our operations  at some of our current  and past sites, and we have also purchased environmental  insurance to 
cover certain claims related to historical contamination and future releases of hazardous substances. However, we cannot assure 
you that such indemnification arrangements and insurance will cover any or all of our material environmental costs. In addition, 
the nature of our operations exposes us to the continuing risk of environmental and health and safety liabilities including: 

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

changes in United States and international environmental or health and safety laws or regulations, including, but not 
limited to, future laws or regulations imposed in response to climate change concerns; 
the  manner  in  which  environmental  or  health  and  safety  laws  or  regulations  will  be  enforced,  administered  or 
interpreted; 
our  ability  to  enforce  and  collect  under  indemnity  agreements  and  insurance  policies  relating  to  environmental 
liabilities; 

22 

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

the cost of compliance with future environmental or health and safety laws or regulations or the costs associated with 
any future environmental claims, including the cost of clean-up of currently unknown environmental conditions; or 
the cost of fines, penalties or other legal liability, should we fail to comply with environmental or health and safety 
laws or regulations. 

To the extent that we face unforeseen environmental or health and safety compliance costs or remediation expenses or liabilities 
that are not covered by indemnities or insurance, we may bear the full effect of such costs, expenses and liabilities, which could 
materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. 

Our failure to comply with anti-corruption laws could result in penalties that could harm our reputation and have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

We are subject to the FCPA, which generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to 
foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits, along with various other anti-corruption 
laws.  Although  we  have  implemented  policies  and  procedures  designed  to  ensure  that  we,  our  employees  and  other 
intermediaries  comply with the FCPA and other anti-corruption  laws to which we are subject, there is no assurance that such 
policies  or  procedures  will  work  effectively  all  of  the  time  or  protect  us  against  liability  under  the  FCPA  or  other  laws  for 
actions taken by our employees and other intermediaries with respect to our business or any businesses that we may acquire. If 
we are not in compliance with the FCPA and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities (including 
local laws), we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures, which could have a material adverse 
impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Any investigation of any potential violations of 
the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws by the U.S. or foreign authorities could harm our reputation and have an adverse impact 
on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

We could be subject to changes in tax legislation or have exposure to additional tax liabilities, which could adversely affect 
our results of operations and financial condition. 

We  conduct  operations  worldwide  through  our  foreign  subsidiaries  and  are,  therefore,  subject  to  complex  income  tax  and 
transfer  pricing  regulations.  Changes  to,  or  interpretations  of,  tax  legislation  or  regulations  could  significantly  increase  our 
effective  tax  rate  and  ultimately  reduce  our  cash  flow  from  operating  activities.  In  addition,  other  factors  or  events,  such  as 
changes  to  our  operating  structure,  strategy  and  investment  decisions,  could  also  increase  our  future  effective  tax  rate  and 
ultimately reduce our cash flow from operating activities. 

Tax rules  may change in a manner  that  adversely  affects  our future reported results of operations or the way we conduct our 
business. We implemented certain restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2020. After our restructuring, most of our 
income  is  taxable  in  the  United  States  with  a  significant  portion  qualifying  for  preferential  treatment  as  foreign-derived 
intangible  income  (“FDII”).  Beginning in 2026, the effective  rate  for FDII increases  from 13% to 16%. Further, if U.S. rates 
increase and/or the FDII deduction is eliminated or reduced, our provision for income taxes, results of operations and cash flows 
would be adversely (potentially materially) affected. Also, if our customers move manufacturing operations to the United States, 
our FDII deduction may be reduced. 

Further changes in tax laws of foreign jurisdictions could arise as a result of the base erosion and profit shifting project that was 
undertaken  by  the  Organization  for  Economic  Co-operation  and  Development  (“OECD”).  The  OECD,  which  represents  a 
coalition of member countries, recommended changes to numerous long-standing tax principles related to transfer pricing and 
continues  to  develop  new  proposals  including  allocating  greater  taxing  rights  to  countries  where  customers  are  located  and 
establishing a minimum tax on global income. These changes, as adopted by countries, may increase tax uncertainty and may 
adversely affect our provision for income taxes, results of operations and financial condition. 

In  August  2022,  the  U.S.  enacted  the  CHIPS  Act  and  the  IR  Act.  It  will  take  time  for  additional  clarifying  guidance  and 
regulations  to  be  issued,  and  this  guidance  will  be  required  for  a  more  complete  interpretation  of  this  new  legislation.  The 
impact  of  this  new  legislation  may  differ  from  our  estimates,  possibly  materially,  due  to,  among  other  things,  changes  in 
interpretations and assumptions the Company has made and future regulatory guidance. 

This new legislation could have a material benefit or material adverse impact, and may have a material impact on our financial 
condition.  We are in the process of analyzing  the potential  aggregate  current  and future impacts of this legislation  relative to 
how we do business, our cash flows and our results of operations. 

Social and environmental responsibility regulations, policies and provisions, as well as customer and investor demands, may 
make our supply chain more complex and may adversely affect our relationships with customers and investors. 

With the increasing focus on corporate social and environmental responsibility in the semiconductor industry, a number of our 

23 

customers have adopted, or may adopt, procurement policies that include social and environmental responsibility provisions or 
requirements  that  their  suppliers  should  comply  with,  or  they  may  seek  to  include  such  provisions  or  requirements  in  their 
procurement  terms  and  conditions.  In  addition,  an  increasing  number  of  OEMs  are  seeking  to  source  products  that  do  not 
contain minerals sourced from areas where proceeds from the sale of such minerals are likely to be used to fund armed conflicts, 
such as in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of minerals used 
in the manufacture  of semiconductor  devices, including our products. As a result, we may face difficulties  in satisfying these 
customers’ demands, which may harm our sales and operating results. 

Many  investors  also  expect  companies  to  disclose  corporate  social  and  environmental  policies,  practices  and  metrics  under 
voluntary disclosure standards and frameworks. We have communicated our strategies, commitments and targets related to our 
corporate social and environmental policies and programs. These strategies, commitments and targets reflect our current plans 
and  aspirations,  but  we  may  be  unable  to  achieve  them.  It  is  also  possible  that  our  investors  might  not  be  satisfied  with  our 
policies,  programs,  commitments,  performance  and  related  disclosures,  or  the  speed  of  their  adoption,  implementation  and 
measurable success, or that we have adopted such policies, programs and commitments at all. 

In addition, unfavorable ratings or assessment of our corporate social and environmental policies and programs, including our 
compliance  with  certain  voluntary  disclosure  standards  and  frameworks,  may  lead  to  negative  investor  sentiment  toward  us, 
which could have a negative impact on our stock price and our access to and cost of capital. 

Furthermore, following the announcement of our commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2040, we may take actions to 
pursue  our  goal  of  generating  net-zero  emissions  that  may  result  in  material  expenditures  that  could  impact  our  financial 
condition or results of operations and/or could disrupt our existing operations. 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Indebtedness 

Our debt could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 

As of December 31, 2022, we had $3,228.3 million of outstanding principal relating to our indebtedness. We may need to incur 
additional  indebtedness in the future to repay or refinance  other outstanding debt, to make acquisitions  or for other purposes, 
and  if  we  incur  additional  debt,  the  related  risks  that  we  now  face  could  intensify.  As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  had 
approximately  $1.5  billion  available  for  future  borrowings  under  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility.  The  degree  to  which  we  are 
leveraged could have important  consequences to our potential and current investors, including impacting our ability to obtain 
additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. 

To  the  extent  that  we  continue  to  maintain  or  expand  our  significant  indebtedness,  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations may be materially adversely affected. 

The  inability  to  meet  our  obligations  under  our  Amended  Credit  Agreement  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  us  by, 
among  other  things,  limiting  our  ability  to  conduct  our  operations  and  reducing  our  flexibility  to  respond  to  changing 
business and economic conditions. 

The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are collateralized by a lien on substantially all of the personal property 
and material real property assets of our domestic subsidiaries. As a result, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations under the 
Amended  Credit  Agreement,  the  lenders  could  take  possession  of  and  foreclose  on  the  pledged  collateral  securing  the 
indebtedness, in which case we would be at risk of losing the related collateral, which would have a material adverse effect on 
our business and operations. In addition, subject to customary exceptions, the Amended Credit Agreement requires mandatory 
prepayment  under  certain  circumstances,  which  may  result  in  prepaying  outstanding  amounts  under  the  Revolving  Credit 
Facility and the Term Loan “B” Facility rather than using funds for other business purposes. Our financing structure, and any 
inability  to  meet  our  obligations  thereunder,  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business  and  financial  condition, 
including, among other things, our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, 
and other general corporate purposes and could reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions. 

The agreements relating to our indebtedness, including the Amended Credit Agreement and the 3.875% Notes, may restrict 
our ability to operate our business, and as a result may materially adversely affect our results of operations. 

Our debt agreements, including the Amended Credit Agreement and the 3.875% Notes, contain, and any future debt agreements 
may  include,  a  number  of  restrictive  covenants  that  impose  significant  operating  and  financial  restrictions  on  us  and  our 
subsidiaries.  Such  restrictive  covenants  may  significantly  limit  our  ability  to:  incur  additional  debt;  incur  liens;  make  certain 
investments  or  acquisitions;  settle  a  conversion  of  our  1.625%  Notes  in  whole  or  in  part  with  cash;  redeem,  or  otherwise 
perform  our  obligations  under  the  terms  of,  our  3.875%  Notes;  sell  or  otherwise  dispose  of  assets;  engage  in  mergers  or 

24 

consolidations or certain other “change of control” transactions; make distributions to our stockholders; engage in restructuring 
activities; engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions; and issue or repurchase stock or other securities. 

Such agreements may also require us to satisfy other requirements, including maintaining certain financial ratios and condition 
tests. Our ability to meet these requirements can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may be unable to meet them. 
To the extent we fail to meet any such requirements and are in default under our debt obligations, our financial condition may 
be materially adversely affected. 

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations, and any inability to repay our debt 
when required would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Our  ability  to  generate  sufficient  cash  flow  from  operating  activities  to  make  required  payments  on our  debt  obligations  will 
depend on our future financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive, and business factors, 
many of which are outside of our control. If we do not generate sufficient cash to satisfy our debt obligations as they come due, 
we  may  have  to  undertake  alternative  financing  plans,  such  as  refinancing  or  restructuring  our  debt,  selling  additional  assets, 
reducing or delaying capital investments, or seeking to raise additional capital. We cannot assure you that any refinancing would 
be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those 
sales, or that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or would be permitted under the terms of our 
various debt instruments then in effect. 

Furthermore, we cannot assure you that, if we were required to repurchase any of our debt securities upon a change of control or 
other  specified  event,  our  assets  or  cash  flow  would  be  sufficient  to  fully  repay  borrowings  under  our  outstanding  debt 
instruments or that we would be able to refinance or restructure the payments on those debt securities. If we are unable to repay, 
refinance  or  restructure  our  indebtedness  under  our  collateralized  debt,  the  holders  of  such  debt  could  proceed  against  the 
collateral securing that indebtedness, which could materially negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. 
A default under our committed credit facilities, including our Amended Credit Agreement, could also limit our ability to make 
further  borrowings  under  those  facilities,  which  could  materially  adversely  affect  our  business  and  results  of  operations.  In 
addition, to the extent we are not able to borrow or refinance debt obligations, we may have to issue additional shares of our 
common stock, which would have a dilutive effect to the current stockholders. 

An event of default  under any agreement  relating  to our outstanding indebtedness could cross default other indebtedness, 
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

If  there  were  an  event  of  default  under  certain  of  our  agreements  relating  to  our  outstanding  indebtedness,  the  holders  of  the 
defaulted debt could cause all amounts outstanding with respect to that debt to be due and payable immediately, which default 
or  acceleration  of  debt  could  cross  default  other  indebtedness.  Any  such  cross  default  would  put  immediate  pressure  on  our 
liquidity  and  financial  condition  and  would  amplify  the  risks  described  above  with  regards  to  being  unable  to  repay  our 
indebtedness  when  due  and  payable.  We  cannot  assure  you  that  our  assets  or  cash  flow  would  be  sufficient  to  fully  repay 
borrowings under our outstanding debt instruments if accelerated upon an event of default and, as described above, any inability 
to repay our debt when due would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

If  our  operating  subsidiaries,  which  may  have  no  independent  obligation  to  repay  our  debt,  are  not  able  to  make  cash 
available to us for such repayment, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. 

We conduct our operations through our subsidiaries. Repayment of our indebtedness is dependent on the generation of cash flow 
by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they 
are  guarantors  of  our  indebtedness,  our  subsidiaries  have  no  obligation  to  pay  amounts  due  on  such  indebtedness  or  to  make 
funds available for that purpose. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable us 
to  make  payments  in  respect  of  our  indebtedness.  Each  subsidiary  is  a  distinct  legal  entity,  and, under  certain  circumstances, 
legal,  contractual,  governmental,  or  regulatory  restrictions  may  limit  our  ability  to  obtain  cash  from  our  subsidiaries.  In  the 
event that we do not receive distributions or payments from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and 
interest payments on our indebtedness and, as described above, any inability to repay our debt when due would have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

If  interest  rates  increase,  our  debt  service  obligations  under  our  variable  rate  indebtedness  could  increase  significantly, 
which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 

Borrowings under certain of our facilities  from time to time, including under our Amended Credit Agreement, are at variable 
rates of interest and as a result expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates were to increase, our debt service obligations on 

25 

the  variable  rate  indebtedness  would  increase  even  though  the  amount  borrowed  remained  the  same,  and our net  income  and 
cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. While we have entered into 
swap  agreements  to  reduce  interest  rate  volatility  for  a  portion  of  our  Term  Loan  “B”  Facility  through  2024,  we  may  not 
maintain  interest  rate  swaps  with  respect  to  all  of  our  variable  rate  indebtedness,  and  any  swaps  we  enter  into  may  not  fully 
mitigate  our  interest  rate  risk.  To  the  extent  the  risk  materializes  and  is  not  fully  mitigated,  the  resulting  increase  in  interest 
expense could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 

Our  Amended  Credit  Agreement  and  our  interest  rate  swap  agreements  currently  have  an  interest  rate  tied  to  the  Secured 
Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), but were previously tied to the LIBO Rate. The phase-out of the LIBO Rate is underway 
and will conclude by July 1, 2023 when LIBO Rates and quotations are scheduled to be discontinued. In response to the phasing 
out of the LIBO Rate, on March 15, 2022, President Biden signed the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”), 
pursuant to which certain contracts that rely on the LIBO Rate and do not contain procedures for determining an alternative base 
rate in the event that the LIBO Rate is discontinued will transition from the LIBO Rate to SOFR, effective July 1, 2023. While 
the LIBOR Act effectively established SOFR as the default replacement rate for the LIBO Rate, there can be no assurances that 
SOFR will become a widely accepted benchmark, or that SOFR or other alternative base rates will be more or less favorable 
than the LIBO Rate. The discontinuance of the LIBO Rate and the adoption of SOFR and/or other alternative based rates could 
create volatility and instability in the financial markets and within banking and financial institutions. Regardless, we intend to 
monitor any unforeseen impacts of the discontinuation of the LIBO Rate and the phasing in of SOFR and will attempt to work 
with our lenders to ensure the transition will have minimal impact on our financial condition. However, we cannot provide any 
assurances that the impact of the discontinuation of the LIBO Rate and the phasing in of SOFR will not have a material adverse 
effect on our debt service obligations or our ability to refinance our debt on favorable terms. 

The  timing  of  the  cash  payments  to  service  the  0%  Notes,  the  1.625%  Notes  and  the  3.875%  Notes  is  not  entirely  in  our 
control and may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow or the ability to raise the 
funds necessary to satisfy these obligations in a timely manner. 

As of December 31, 2022, we had outstanding approximately $137.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.625% Notes, 
$700.0  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  our  3.875%  Notes  and  $805.0  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  our  0% 
Notes  (collectively,  the  “Outstanding  Notes”).  Holders  of  the  Outstanding  Notes  have  certain  rights  that  would  require  us  to 
make  repurchases  prior  to  the  stated  maturity  for  all  or  a  portion  of  the  amounts  due  in  certain  circumstances.  For  example, 
holders of the 3.875% Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all of their 3.875% Notes upon the occurrence of certain 
change of control triggering events accompanied by certain ratings events (as described in the indenture governing the 3.875% 
Notes) at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, accrued prior to, 
but not including, the repurchase date. 

Servicing  the  Outstanding  Notes  may  require  a  significant  amount  of  cash,  and  we  may  not  have  sufficient  cash  flow  or  the 
ability to raise the funds necessary to satisfy our obligations under such notes. Our ability to make cash payments in connection 
with conversions of the 1.625% Notes or the 0% Notes, repurchase any of the Outstanding Notes in the case of an applicable 
repurchase-triggering  event under the respective  indentures  or repay such notes at maturity  will depend on market conditions 
and our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. 

In certain circumstances, a takeover of our Company and similar triggering events could also trigger an option of the holders of 
the  1.625%  Notes,  the  3.875%  Notes  and  the  0%  Notes  to  require  us  to  repurchase  such  notes.  This  may  have  the  effect  of 
delaying or preventing a takeover of our Company that would otherwise be beneficial to the holders of the 1.625% Notes, the 
3.875%  Notes,  the  0%  Notes  and  our  common  stock,  which  could  materially  decrease  the  value  of  such  notes  and  of  our 
common stock. 

The  terms  of  the  Amended  Credit  Agreement  and  the  terms  of  the  3.875%  Notes  limit  the  amount  of  future  indebtedness 
secured  by  liens  that  we  may  incur.  If  we  incur  significantly  more  debt,  this  could  intensify  the  risks  described  above.  Our 
decision  to  use  our  cash  for  other  purposes,  such  as  to  make  acquisitions  or  to  repurchase  our  common  stock,  could  also 
intensify these risks. 

Note hedge and warrant transactions we have entered into may materially adversely affect the value of our common stock. 

Concurrently with the issuances of the 1.625% Notes and the 0% Notes, respectively, we entered into note hedge transactions 
with certain financial institutions, which we refer to as the option counterparties. The convertible note hedges are expected to 
reduce  the  potential  dilution  upon  any  conversion  of  the  respective  series  of  notes  and/or  offset  any  cash  payments  we  are 
required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes of such series, as the case may be. We also entered into 
warrant  transactions  with  the  option  counterparties  with  respect  to  the  1.625%  Notes  and  the  0%  Notes.  The  warrant 

26 

transactions  could  separately  have  a  dilutive  effect  on  our  common  stock  to  the  extent  that  the  market  price  per  share  of our 
common stock exceeds $30.70, with respect to the 1.625% Notes, and $74.34, with respect to the 0% Notes. 

In connection with establishing their initial hedge of the convertible note hedges and warrant transactions for the 1.625% Notes 
and  the  0%  Notes,  the  option  counterparties  or  their  respective  affiliates  have  purchased  shares  of  our  common  stock  and/or 
entered  into  various  derivative  transactions  with  respect  to  our  common  stock.  The  option  counterparties  or  their  respective 
affiliates  may  modify  their  hedge  positions  by  entering  into  or  unwinding  various  derivatives  contracts  with  respect  to  our 
common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions prior 
to the maturity of such notes. The potential effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the market price of our common 
stock will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities could materially 
adversely affect the value of our common stock. 

Counterparty risk with respect to the note hedge transactions, if realized, could have a material adverse impact on our results 
of operations. 

The option counterparties are financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and we are subject to the risk that these 
option counterparties may default under the note hedge transactions. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability 
or viability of any of the option counterparties. Our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties is not secured by any 
collateral.  If  one  or  more  of  the  option  counterparties  to  one  or  more  of  our  note  hedge  transactions  becomes  subject  to 
insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at the 
time under those transactions. 

To  the  extent  the  option  counterparties  do  not  honor  their  contractual  commitments  with  us  pursuant  to  the  note  hedge 
transactions, we could face a material increase in our exposure to potential dilution upon any conversion of the 1.625% Notes 
and/or  the  0%  Notes  and/or  cash  payments  we  are  required  to  make  in  excess  of  the  principal  amount  of  converted  1.625% 
Notes and/or the 0% Notes, as the case may be. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, the increase in our 
exposure will be correlated to the increase in the market price of our common stock and in the volatility of the market price of 
our common stock. In addition, upon a default by one of the option counterparties, we may suffer adverse tax consequences with 
respect  to  our  common  stock.  Any  such  adverse  tax  consequences  or  increased  cash  payments  could  have  a material  adverse 
effect on our results of operations. 

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Common Stock 

Provisions in our charter documents may delay or prevent the acquisition of our Company, which could materially adversely 
affect the value of our common stock. 

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions that could make it harder for a third party to acquire us without 
the consent of our Board of Directors. These provisions: 

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

establish  advance  notice  requirements  for  submitting  nominations  for  election  to  the  Board  of  Directors  and  for 
proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at a meeting; 
authorize  the  issuance  of  “blank  check”  preferred  stock,  which  is  preferred  stock  that  our  Board  of  Directors  can 
create and issue without prior stockholder approval and that could be issued with voting or other rights or preferences 
that could impede a takeover attempt; and 
require  the  approval  by  holders  of  at  least  66  2/3%  of  our  outstanding  common  stock  to  amend  certain  of  these 
provisions in our certificate of incorporation or by-laws. 

Although  we  believe  these  provisions  make  a  higher  third-party  bid  more  likely  by  requiring  potential  acquirers  to  negotiate 
with our Board of Directors, these provisions apply even if an initial offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders. 
Any delay or prevention of an acquisition of our Company that would have been beneficial to our stockholders could materially 
decrease the value of our common stock. 

The amount and frequency of our share repurchases are affected by a number of factors and may fluctuate. 

Although we have adopted a share repurchase program, we are not obligated to repurchase a specified number or dollar value of 
shares under our share repurchase program or at all. The amount, timing, and purchases under our share repurchase program, if 
any, are influenced by many factors and may fluctuate based on our operating results, cash flows, and priorities for the use of 
cash and because of changes in tax laws, and the market price of our common stock. In addition, we cannot guarantee that our 
share repurchase program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term shareholder value.

General Risk Factors 

We may be unable to successfully integrate new strategic acquisitions, which could materially adversely affect our business, 
results of operations and financial condition. 

We have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions (including the acquisition of GFUS’s East Fishkill, New York 
site and fabrication facilities and the acquisition of GTAT, a producer of SiC-based products and technology) and alliances that 
involve  significant  risks  and  uncertainties.  Successful  acquisitions  and  alliances  in  our  industry  require,  among  other  things, 
efficient  integration  and  aligning  of  product  offerings  and  manufacturing  operations  and  coordination  of  sales  and  marketing 
and research and development efforts, often in markets or regions in which we have less experience. Risks related to successful 
integration of an acquisition include, but are not limited to: (1) the ability to integrate information technology and other systems; 
(2) issues not discovered in our due diligence; (3) customers responding by changing their existing business relationships with 
us  or  the  acquired  company;  (4)  diversion  of  management’s  attention  from  our  day  to  day  operations;  and  (5)  loss  of  key 
employees post-integration. In addition, we may incur unexpected costs or taxes resulting from the acquisition or integration of 
the newly acquired business. Missteps or delays in integrating our acquisitions, which could be caused by factors outside of our 
control,  or  our  failure  to  realize  the  expected  benefits  of  the  acquisitions  on  the  timeline  we  anticipate,  could  materially 
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. 

Depending on the level of our ownership interest in and the extent to which we can exercise control over the acquired business, 
we may be required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and SEC rules and regulations to consolidate 
newly  acquired  businesses  into  our  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  acquired  businesses  may  not  have  independent 
audited financial  statements  or statements  prepared in accordance with GAAP, or the acquired businesses may have financial 
controls and systems that are not compatible with our financial controls and systems, any of which could materially impair our 
ability  to  properly  integrate  such  businesses  into  our  consolidated  financial  statements  on  a  timely  basis.  Any  revisions  to, 
inaccuracies  in  or  restatements  of  our  consolidated  financial  statements  due  to  accounting  for  our  acquisitions  could  have  a 
material adverse effect our financial condition and results of operations. 

Downturns or volatility in general economic conditions, as well as general macroeconomic trends and impacts, could have 
an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. 

Historically,  worldwide  semiconductor  industry  sales  have  tracked  the  impacts  of  financial  crises,  subsequent  recoveries  and 
persistent economic uncertainty. Recent global economic slowdowns could continue and potentially result in certain economies 
dipping into economic recessions, including in the United States. In addition, we are aware of and are monitoring the economic 
environment and related forecasts, which suggest (in certain parts of the world) an economic slowdown. 

We have in the past and could in the future experience period-to-period fluctuations in operating results due to general industry 
or economic conditions; the onset of an economic recession and volatile or uncertain economic conditions can adversely impact 
our sales and profitability  and make it difficult for us and our competitors to accurately forecast and plan our future business 
activities.  Furthermore,  inflationary  pressure  and  increases  in  interest  rates  may  increase  our  costs,  which  could  negatively 
impact revenue, earnings and demand for our products. 

In addition to general economic conditions, impacts of other macroeconomic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the 
ongoing military  conflict  between Russia and Ukraine, climate  change and other natural disasters,  and uncertainties  in global 
financial markets, could materially adversely impact our operations by causing disruptions in the geographies in which we and 
our suppliers, third party distributors and sub-contractors operate. If any of these events impact our supply chain, manufacturing 
and  product  shipments  could  be  delayed,  which  could  materially  adversely  affect  our  business,  results  of  operations  and 
financial  condition.  In  addition,  disruption  of  transportation  and  distribution  systems  could  result  in  reduced  operational 
efficiency  and  customer  service  interruption.  Such  events  can  negatively  impact  revenue  and  earnings  and  can  significantly 
impact cash flow. 

Regulatory and legislative developments related to climate change may materially adversely affect our business and financial 
condition. 

Various jurisdictions are developing climate change-based laws or regulations that could cause us to incur additional direct costs 
for compliance, as well as indirect costs resulting from our customers, suppliers, or both incurring additional compliance costs 
that  are  passed  on  to  us.  These  legal  and  regulatory  requirements,  as  well  as  heightened  investor  expectations,  on  corporate 
environmental  and  social  responsibility  practices  and  disclosure,  are  subject  to  change,  can  be  unpredictable,  and  may  be 
difficult  and  expensive  for  us  to  comply  with,  given  the  complexity  of  our  supply  chain  and  our  significant  outsourced 
manufacturing. If we are unable to comply, or are unable to cause our suppliers to comply, with such policies or provisions or 

28 

meet the requirements of our customers and investors, a customer may stop purchasing products from us or an investor may sell 
their shares, or parties may take legal action against us, which could harm our reputation, revenue and results of operations. Any 
future  climate  change  regulations  could  also  negatively  impact  our  ability  to  compete  with  companies  situated  in  areas  not 
subject  to  such  limitations.  Given  the  political  significance  and  uncertainty  around  the  impact  of  climate  change,  we  cannot 
predict  how  legislation  and  regulation  will  affect  our  financial  condition,  operating  performance  and  ability  to  compete. 
Furthermore,  increased  awareness  and  any  adverse  publicity  in  the  global  marketplace  about  potential  impacts  on  climate 
change by us or others in our industry could harm our reputation. Any of the foregoing could result in a material adverse effect 
on our business and financial condition.

Item 2. Properties 

Our  corporate  headquarters,  as  well  as  certain  design  center  and  research  and  development  operations,  are  located  in 
approximately  600,000  square  feet  of  building  space  on  property  that  we  lease  in  Phoenix,  Arizona.  We  also  own  and  lease 
properties around the world for use as sales offices, design centers, research and development labs, warehouses, logistic centers, 
trading  offices  and  manufacturing  support.  The  size  and  location  of  these  properties,  which  are  used  by  all  of  our  reportable 
segments,  change  from  time  to  time  based  on  business  requirements.  We  operate  distribution  centers,  which  are  leased  or 
contracted through a third-party, in locations throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas. See “Business—Resources” included 
elsewhere  in  this  Form  10-K  for  information  on  properties  used  in  our  manufacturing  operations.  While  these  facilities  are 
primarily  used  in  manufacturing  operations,  they  also  include  office,  utility,  laboratory,  warehouse  and  unused  space. 
Additionally,  we  own  and  lease  research  and  development  facilities  located  in  Belgium,  Canada,  China,  the  Czech  Republic, 
France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Romania, the Slovak Republic, 
Slovenia,  Switzerland,  Taiwan,  the  United  Kingdom  and  the  United  States.  Our  joint  venture  in  Leshan,  China  also  owns 
manufacturing,  warehouse,  laboratory,  office  and  other  unused  space.  We  also  lease  two research  and  development  facilities, 
one located in Australia and one located in Russia, and the Company is in the process of terminating these two leases as part of 
the exit plan to wind down QCS. We believe that our facilities around the world, whether owned or leased, are well-maintained. 

Certain of our properties are subject to encumbrances such as mortgages and liens. See Note 9: ‘‘Long-Term Debt’’ in the notes 
to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further information. In addition, due 
to local law restrictions, the land upon which our facilities are located in certain foreign locations is subject to varying long-term 
leases. See “Business—Resources”  included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further details on our properties and “Business-
Governmental Regulation” for further details on environmental regulation of our properties.

PART II 

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities 

Our  common  stock  is  traded  under  the  symbol  “ON”  on  the  Nasdaq  Global  Select  Market.  The  stock  price  details  can  be 
obtained from the Nasdaq website at www.nasdaq.com. As of February 1, 2023, there were approximately 182 holders of record 
of our common stock and 431,967,907 shares of common stock outstanding. 

Company Stock Performance 

The  following  graph  shows  a  comparison  of  the  five-year  cumulative  total  stockholder  return  for  onsemi,  the  PHLX 
Semiconductor  Sector  Index  (SOX),  the  Standard  and  Poor’s  500  (S&P  500),  and  the  NASDAQ  Composite  Index.  The 
comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2017 in shares of our common stock and in each of the indices shown 

29 

and  assumes  that  all  of  the  dividends  were reinvested.  Note that  past stock price  performance  is not necessarily  indicative  of 
future stock price performance. The performance graph in this Form 10-K shall be deemed furnished, and not filed, and shall 
not  be  deemed  incorporated  by  reference  into  any  filing  under  the  Securities  Act  or  the  Exchange  Act  as  a  result  of  this 
furnishing, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference. 

We  have  neither  declared  nor  paid  any  cash  dividends  on  our  common  stock  since  our  initial  public  offering.  Our  future 
dividend policy with respect to our common stock will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, debt 
restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. 

Our  outstanding  debt  facilities  may  limit  the  amount  of  dividends  we  are  permitted  to  pay  and  the  amount  of  shares  we  are 
permitted to buy back under the Share Repurchase Program (as defined below), or any new share repurchase programs adopted 
by the Company. We may pay dividends and buy back shares under the Share Repurchase Program in an unlimited amount so 
long as, after giving effect thereto, the consolidated total net leverage ratio (calculated in accordance with our Amended Credit 
Agreement) does not exceed 2.50 to 1.00. In addition, so long as no default has occurred and is continuing or results therefrom, 
our Amended Credit Agreement permits us to pay cash dividends to our common stockholders, buy back shares under the Share 
Repurchase Program, or a combination thereof, in an amount up to $100.0 million per year. See Note 9: ‘‘Long-Term Debt’’ in 
the  notes  to  the  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  included  elsewhere  in  this  Form  10-K  for  further  discussion  of  our 
Amended Credit Agreement.

Share Repurchase Program 

The repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program amounted to $259.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. 
There were no repurchases of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program during the year ended December 31, 2021 
and $65.3 million in repurchases of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program during the year ended December 31, 
2020. 

The  Share  Repurchase  Program  allowed  for  the  repurchase  of  our  common  stock  from  time  to  time  in  privately  negotiated 
transactions or open market transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 
of the Exchange Act, or by any combination of such methods or other methods. The Share Repurchase Program, which did not 
require  us  to  purchase  any  particular  amount  of  common  stock  and  was  subject  to  the  discretion  of  the  Board  of  Directors, 
expired on December 31, 2022, with approximately $1,036.0 million remaining unutilized. 

In February 2023, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”), 
which  allows  for  the  repurchase  of  our  common  stock  from  time  to  time  in  privately  negotiated  transactions  or  open  market 
transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, or by 
any  combination  of  such  methods  or  other  methods.  The  2023  Share  Repurchase  Program,  which  does  not  require  us  to 
purchase  any  minimum  amount  of  our  common  stock,  has  an  aggregate  limit  of  $3.0  billion  from  February  8,  2023  through 
December 31, 2025 (exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses). Any repurchases will be at the Company’s discretion 
and  will  be  subject  to  market  conditions,  the  price  of  our  shares  and  other  factors.  The  share  repurchase  program  may  be

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements, including 
the  notes  thereto,  which  are  included  elsewhere  in  this  Form  10-K.  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial 
Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  contains  statements  that  are  forward-looking.  These  statements  are  based  on  current 
expectations  and  assumptions  that  are  subject  to  risk,  uncertainties,  and  other  factors.  Actual  results  could  differ  materially 
because of the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Executive Overview 

This  executive  overview  presents  summarized  information  regarding  our  business  and  operating  trends  only.  For  further 
information relating to the information summarized herein, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations” in its entirety. 

onsemi Results 

Our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $8,326.2 million, an increase of 23.5% from $6,739.8 million for the 
year  ended  December  31,  2021.  The  increase  was  attributable  to  our  strategy  to  focus  on  a  product  mix  that  yields  higher 
margins,  and  an  increase  in  average  selling  prices  driven  by  strong  market  demand.  During  2022,  we  reported  net  income 
attributable to onsemi of $1,902.2 million compared to $1,009.6 million in 2021. Our operating income totaled $2,360.0 million 
during  2022  compared  to  $1,287.6  million  during  2021.  The  increase  in  our  operating  income  and  net  income  was  due  to 
significantly better gross margins primarily driven by higher revenue in focused end-markets, favorable product mix, increase in 
average selling prices and savings from restructuring activities. Our gross margin increased by approximately 870 basis points 
to 49.0% in 2022 from 40.3% in 2021. See discussion under “Results of Operations” for additional discussion on the reasons for 
the fluctuations year over year.

Business and Macroeconomic Environment 

The  semiconductor  industry  has  traditionally  been  highly  cyclical,  has  often  experienced  significant  downturns  in  connection 
with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions, and may experience uncertainty and volatility in the future. 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  our  product  demand  remained  strong  as  we  achieved  record  annual  revenues. 
However, we are aware of and are monitoring the economic environment and related forecasts, which suggest global economic 
slowdowns could continue and potentially result in certain economies entering a recessionary period, which could include the 
United States. Given the current conditions, we are actively managing our manufacturing activity and spending to align with our 
forecasted demand. We believe the current volatility in general economic conditions is not expected to have a significant impact 
on our long-term strategic and growth initiatives. 

During  2022,  we  achieved  revenue  growth  as  well  as  expanded  our  gross  margin  and  operating  margin.  The  semiconductor 
industry conditions have resulted in increased costs throughout our supply chain. In some cases, we have been able to increase 
our prices and pass these increased costs along to our customers, which also partially contributed to higher revenue for 2022. 
We expect to continue to evaluate cost-saving initiatives to be able to align our overall cost structure, capital investments and 
other expenditures with our expected revenue, spending and capacity levels to help offset increased costs. We have taken, and 
continue to take actions, including but not limited to, exiting product lines, that do not support our gross margin improvements 
and strategic objectives. 

See  Note  7:  ‘‘Restructuring,  Asset  Impairments  and  Other  Charges,  net’’  in  the  notes  to  our  audited  consolidated  financial 
statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for information relating to our most recent cost-saving initiatives.

Revenue  was  $8,326.2  million  and  $6,739.8  million  for  2022  and  2021,  respectively.  The  increase  from  2021  to  2022  of 
$1,586.4  million,  or  23.5%,  was  attributable  to  a  22.4%,  18.4%  and  41.7%  increase  in  revenue  in  PSG,  ASG  and  ISG, 
respectively, which is further explained below. 

We had one customer, a distributor,  whose revenue accounted for approximately 12% of the total revenue for the year ended 
December 31, 2022.

Revenue from PSG 

Revenue from PSG increased by $769.1 million, or approximately 22.4%, during 2022 compared to 2021. The revenue from our 
Advanced  Power  Division  and  our  Integrated  Circuits,  Protection  and  Signal  Division  increased  by  $672.7  million  and 
$96.4  million,  respectively.  These  increases  primarily  were  driven  by  our  strategy  to  focus  on  SiC, a  product  mix  that  yields 
higher margins and an increase in average selling prices driven by strong market demand. 

Revenue from ASG 

Revenue from ASG increased by $441.4 million,  or approximately  18.4%, during 2022 compared to 2021. The revenue from 
our  Automotive  Division,  Industrial  Solutions  Division  and  Mobile,  Computing  and  Cloud  Division  increased  by 
$224.2 million, $173.8 million and $77.1 million, respectively. The increases primarily were due to our strategy to focus on a 
product mix that yields higher margins, and an increase in average selling prices driven by strong market demand. 

Revenue from ISG 

Revenue from ISG increased by $375.9 million, or approximately 41.7%, during 2022 compared to 2021. The revenue from our 
Automotive  Sensing  Division  and  our  Industrial  and  Consumer  Solutions  Division  increased  by  $357.3  million  and 
$18.7  million,  respectively.  The  increase  in  revenue  was  due  to  our  strategy  to  focus  on  a  product  mix  that  yields  higher 
margins, and an increase in average selling prices driven by strong market demand.

Our gross profit increased by $1,362.9 million, or approximately 50%, from $2,714.3 million during 2021 to $4,077.2 million 
during 2022. Gross margin increased to 49.0% during 2022 compared to 40.3% during 2021. 

The  significant  increases  in  gross  profit  and  gross  margin  were  primarily  driven  by  higher  revenue,  particularly  in  the 

34 

 
 
 
 
automotive  and  industrial  end-markets,  and  a  favorable  product  mix,  which  included  price  increases  to  resolve  price-to-value 
discrepancies for our products. 

Operating Expenses 

Research and Development 

Research  and  development  expenses  were  $600.2  million  and  $655.0  million,  or  approximately  7%  and  10%  of  revenue  for 
2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease of $54.8 million, or approximately 8% year-over-year. The decrease was 
primarily due to a reduction in payroll and other related expenses associated with the wind down of QCS. 

Selling and Marketing 

Selling and marketing expenses were $287.9 million and $293.6 million, or approximately 3% and 4% of revenue for 2022 and 
2021,  respectively,  representing  a  decrease  of  $5.7  million,  or  approximately  2%  year-over-year.  The  decrease  was  primarily 
due to a reduction in payroll-related expenses due to census declines from hiring delays and attrition. 

General and Administrative 

General and administrative expenses were $343.2 million and $304.8 million, or approximately 4% and 5% of revenue for 2022 
and  2021,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of  $38.4  million,  or  approximately  13%  year-over-year.  The  increase  was 
primarily due to higher variable compensation and stock compensation. 

Amortization of Acquisition—Related Intangible Assets 

Amortization  of  acquisition-related  intangible  assets  was  $81.2  million  and  $99.0  million  for  2022  and  2021,  respectively, 
representing  a  decrease  of  $17.8  million,  or  approximately  18.0%,  year-over-year.  The  decrease  was  due  to  the  reduction  in 
amortization  expense  as  certain  intangible  technology-related  assets  became  fully  amortized  in  2021  and  the  full  write-off  of 
QCS intangibles. 

Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other Charges, net 

Restructuring, asset impairments  and other charges, net was $17.9 million and $71.4 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively. 
Charges in 2022 represent severance charges, contract termination costs and litigation expenses and primarily relate to the QCS 
wind down. Amounts incurred during 2021 primarily related to the involuntary severance plan. For additional information, see 
Note 7: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other Charges, net” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements 
included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment 

Goodwill and intangible asset impairment was $386.8 million and $2.9 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively. During 2022, 
we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $330.0 million and an intangible asset impairment charge of $56.8 million, as a 
result of a shift in our focus on long-term product mix in our strategic markets and the QCS wind down. See Note 6: “Goodwill 
and Intangible Assets” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for 
additional information. 

Other Income and Expenses 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense decreased by $35.5 million, or approximately 27.2%, to $94.9 million during 2022 compared to $130.4 million 
in  2021.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  the  lack  of  amortization  of  debt  discount  on  our  convertible  notes  due  to  the 
adoption of ASU 2020-06, the effect of the issuance of the 0% Notes, as a majority of the proceeds were utilized to repay higher 
rate  debt.  Our  average  gross  amount  of  long-term  debt  balance  (including  current  maturities)  during  2022  and  2021  was 
$3,243.3 million and $3,423.9 million, respectively. Our weighted average interest rate on our gross amount of long-term debt 
(including current maturities) was 2.9% and 3.8% per annum in 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Key Financing and Capital Events” below and Note 9: “Long-Term Debt” in the notes 
to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a description of our indebtedness and 

35 

our refinancing activities. 

Gain on Divestiture of Businesses 

Gain on divestiture of business was $67.0 million in 2022, compared to $10.2 million in 2021. The gain during 2022 relates to 
the divestiture of the wafer manufacturing facilities in Niigata, Japan, Pocatello, Idaho, South Portland, Maine and Oudenaarde, 
Belgium. 

Loss on Debt Refinancing and Prepayment 

We  recorded  loss  on  debt  refinancing  and  prepayment  of  $7.1  million  during  2022.  This  was  primarily  related  to  the  partial 
prepayment of the Term Loan “B” Facility. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Key Financing and Capital Events” below 
and Note 9: ‘‘Long-Term Debt’’ in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 
10-K for a description of our indebtedness and our refinancing activities. 

Other income, net 

Other  income,  net  was  $18.0  million  in  2021  compared  to  an  income  of  $21.7  million  in  2022,  reflecting  a  change  of 
approximately 20.6%. The increase was primarily due to the fluctuations in foreign currencies resulting in increased transaction 
gains offset by losses on hedges that were realized. 

Income Tax Provision 

We  recorded  an  income  tax  provision  of  $458.4  million  and  $146.6  million  in  2022  and  2021,  respectively,  representing 
effective  tax  rates  of  19.4%  and  12.7%.  The  increase  in  our  effective  tax  rate  was  substantially  driven  by  the  impact  of 
nondeductible goodwill and foreign operations. 

For additional information,  see Note 16: ‘‘Income Taxes’’ and Note 6: ‘‘Goodwill and Intangible Assets’’ in the notes to the 
audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Overview 

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations, funds from external borrowings and debt 
and equity issuances. In the near term, we expect to fund our primary cash requirements through cash generated from operations 
and  with  cash  and  cash  equivalents  on  hand.  We  also  have  the  ability  to  utilize  our  Revolving  Credit  Facility,  which  has 
approximately $1.5 billion available for future borrowings. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $2,919.0 million as of 
December 31, 2022. 

We  require  cash  to:  (i)  fund  our  operating  expenses,  working  capital  requirements,  outlays  for  strategic  acquisitions  and 
investments;  (ii)  service  our  debt,  including  principal  and  interest;  (iii)  conduct  research  and  development;  (iv)  incur  capital 
expenditures;  and  (v)  repurchase  our  common  stock.  As  part  of  our  business  strategy,  we  review  acquisition  and  divestiture 
opportunities on a regular basis. 

During the ordinary course of business, we evaluate our cash requirements and, if necessary, adjust our expenditures to reflect 
the  current  market  conditions  and  our  projected  sales  and  demand.  Our  capital  expenditures  are  primarily  directed  towards 
manufacturing equipment, and can materially influence our available cash for other initiatives. Future capital expenditures may 
be impacted by events and transactions that are not currently forecasted. 

We believe that the key factors that could adversely affect our internal and external sources of cash include: 

(cid:129) Changes in demand for our products, competitive pricing pressures, supply chain constraints, effective management of 
our  manufacturing  capacity,  our  ability  to  achieve  further  reductions  in  operating  expenses,  our  ability  to  make 
progress  on  the  achievement  of  our  business  strategy  and  sustainability  goals,  the  impact  of  our  restructuring 
programs on our production and cost efficiency and our ability to make the research and development expenditures 
required to remain competitive in our business; and 

(cid:129) The  debt  and  equity  capital  markets  could  impact  our  ability  to  obtain  needed  financing  on  acceptable  terms  or  to 

36 

respond to business opportunities and developments as they arise, including interest rate fluctuations, macroeconomic 
conditions, sudden reductions in the general availability of lending from banks or the related increase in cost to obtain 
bank financing and our ability to maintain compliance with covenants under our debt agreements in effect from time 
to time. 

Sources and Uses of Cash 

As  part  of  our  business  strategy,  we  review  acquisition  and  divestiture  opportunities  on  a  regular  basis.  Excluded  from  the 
discussion  below  is  the  EFK  facility,  which  we  acquired  on  December  31,  2022  for  $406.3  million  in  cash,  of  which 
approximately  $236.3  million  was  paid  in  January  2023.  See  Note  5:  ‘‘Acquisitions  and  Divestitures’’  in  the  notes  to  our 
audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

The following are the significant sources and uses of cash during 2022: 

(cid:129) Our cash flows from operating activities were $2,633.1 million. 

(cid:129) We paid approximately $1,005.0 million for capital expenditures. 

(cid:129) Borrowing of $500.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, the net proceeds of which were used to prepay the 

outstanding balance of $500.0 million under the Term Loan “B” Facility. 

(cid:129) Repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $259.8 million. 

(cid:129) Divestiture of manufacturing facilities in Oudenaarde, Belgium, South Portland, Maine, Pocatello, Idaho and Niigata, 
Japan for approximately $275.0 million in the aggregate. See Note 5: ‘‘Acquisitions and Divestitures’’ in the notes to 
our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Operating Activities 

Our  long-term  cash  generation  is  dependent  on  the  ability  of  our  operations  to  generate  cash.  Our  cash  flows  from  operating 
activities were $2,633.1 million, $1,782.0 million and $884.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 
respectively. Our operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $851.1 million, or 47.8%, compared 
to the year ended December 31, 2021 and was primarily attributable to a significant increase in net income due to our strategy to 
focus on a product mix that yields higher margins combined with increased demand and prices for our products. 

Our ability to maintain positive operating cash flows is dependent on, among other factors, our success in achieving our revenue 
goals and manufacturing and operating cost targets. Management of our assets and liabilities, including both working capital and 
long-term assets and liabilities, also influences our operating cash flows. 

Investing Activities 

Our  cash  flows  used  in  investing  activities  were  $705.4  million,  $915.1  million  and  $453.6  million  for  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  The  decrease  of  $209.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022 
compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to capital expenditures offset by proceeds from the 
sale  of  real  estate  and  divestitures.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020,  we  paid  $1,005.0  million, 
$444.6  million  and  $383.6  million,  respectively,  for  capital  expenditures.  Our  capital  expenditures  as  a  percent  of  revenue 
increased in 2022 to 12%, primarily as a result of the silicon carbide expansion and our facility expansion investments. In 2023, 
we expect capital expenditures to be approximately 20% of revenue as these investments along with other capital initiatives will 
increase. 

Financing Activities 

Our  cash  flows  used  in  financing  activities  were  $370.0  million,  $569.4  million  and  $244.0  million  for  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  The  decrease  of  $199.4  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022 
compared  to  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021  was  primarily  attributable  to  proceeds  and  payments  related  to  long-term 
borrowings and share repurchase activity. 

See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information related to liquidity matters. 

37 

Debt 

Our ability to service our long-term debt, including our 0% Notes, 3.875% Notes, 1.625% Notes, the Revolving Credit Facility 
and the Term Loan “B” Facility, to remain in compliance with the various covenants contained in our debt agreements and to 
fund working capital,  capital  expenditures  and business  development  efforts  will depend on our ability to generate cash from 
operating  activities,  which  is  subject  to,  among  other  things,  our  future  operating  performance,  as  well  as  to  financial, 
competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  there  was  $1,086.0  million  outstanding  under  the  Term  Loan  “B”  Facility,  in  addition  to 
$805.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 0% Notes, $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Notes and 
$137.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 1.625% Notes. The aggregate principal amount of outstanding 1.625% Notes, 
net  of  unamortized  discount  and  issuance  costs,  has  been  reclassified  as  a  current  portion  of  long-term  debt.  The  associated 
interest expense related to this indebtedness will continue to have a significant impact on our results of operations.

Key Financing and Capital Events 

Overview 

We  continually  evaluate  our  debt  and  capital  structure  and  when appropriate,  we have  completed  various  measures  to  secure 
liquidity,  repurchase  shares  of  our  common  stock,  reduce  interest  costs,  amend  existing  key  financing  arrangements  and,  in 
some cases, extend a portion of our debt maturities  to continue to provide us additional operating flexibility.  Certain of these 
measures  continued  in  2022,  which  included  the  partial  repayment  of  our  Term  Loan  through  borrowings  of  $500.0  million 
under  our  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and  the  amendment  of  our  credit  agreement  to  eliminate  the  LIBO  Rate  as  a  borrowing 
alternative.  For  further  discussion  of  our  debt  instruments,  see  Note  9:  “Long-Term  Debt”  and  for  further  discussion  on  the 
Share  Repurchase  Program  (as  defined  below),  see  Note  10:  ‘‘Earnings  Per  Share  and  Equity’’  in  the  notes  to  our  audited 
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

2022 Financing Events 

(cid:129)

In  connection  with  the  Company’s  $500.0  million  draw  down  on  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility,  we  expensed 
$7.3 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs primarily attributed to a partial pay-down of debt as loss 
on debt refinancing and prepayment. 

(cid:129) Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program amounted to $259.8 million during the year ended December 31, 

2022. 

(cid:129) On November 9, 2022, we entered into separate privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 1.625% 
Notes to repurchase or exchange, as applicable, $16.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 1.625% Notes for a 
total consideration of $16.0 million in cash and 552,000 shares of common stock. 

(cid:129) On November 16, 2022, we entered  into the Tenth Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement to transition  the 

interest rate base from the LIBO Rate to Term SOFR. 

2021 Financing Events 

(cid:129)

In  May  2021,  we  completed  a  private  offering  of  $805.0  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  0%  Notes.  In 
connection  with  the  issuance  of  the  0%  Notes,  we  entered  into  convertible  note  hedge  transactions  with  the  initial 
purchasers of the 0% Notes or their affiliates  (“Counterparties”) and paid $160.3 million in cash for the convertible 
note hedges. We also entered into warrant transactions with the Counterparties and received $93.8 million in cash for 
the sale of warrants. 

(cid:129) Contemporaneously with the issuance of the 0% Notes, we entered into separate privately negotiated transactions with 
certain holders of the 1.625% Notes to repurchase or exchange, as applicable, $372.4 million in aggregate principal 
amount  of  the  1.625%  Notes  for  a  total  consideration  of  $506.5  million  in  cash  and  5.4  million  shares  of  common 
stock. In December 2021, we repurchased $47.4 million of the 1.625% Notes for $47.4 million in cash and 1.6 million 

38 

shares of common stock. 

(cid:129) During the year ended December 31, 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance of $700.0 million under the Revolving 

Credit Facility using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 0% Notes and cash on hand. 

2020 Financing Events 

(cid:129) The 1.00% Notes matured on December 1, 2020. The maturity of the notes resulted in us paying $690.0 million in cash, 
to holders of the 1.00% Notes using our available cash and cash equivalents. The excess over the principal amount was 
settled by issuing shares of common stock held in treasury. At the time of issuance of the 1.00% Notes, we concurrently 
entered into hedge transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the 1.00% Notes, and accordingly, repurchased an 
equivalent number of shares of our common stock at fair market value, to effectively offset the issuance of shares. Also 
at the time of issuance of the 1.00% Notes, we sold warrants to certain bank counterparties whereby the holders of the 
warrants had the option to purchase from us the equivalent number of shares of our common stock at a price of $25.96 
per share. All these warrants were exercised by the holders during the first and second quarters of 2021 and were settled 
by issuing an aggregate of 13.4 million shares of common stock. 

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

In August 2020, we completed a private offering of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.875% Notes 
due 2028. In connection with the issuance, we incurred original issue discount and debt issuance costs amounting to 
$9.4 million. 

In  March  2020,  we  borrowed  $1,165.0  million  under  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  as  a  precautionary  measure  in 
order  to  increase  our  cash  position  and  provide  financial  flexibility  in  light  of  the  uncertainty  resulting  from  the 
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to better macroeconomic and business conditions, we used the net proceeds 
from the issuance of the 3.875% Notes along with cash on hand to repay $1,200.0 million of outstanding borrowings 
with the remaining $65.0 million balance we repaid $65.0 million on December 31, 2020. 

(cid:129) During 2020, we repurchased 3.6 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $65.3 million 

pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program. 

Debt Guarantees and Related Covenants 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  were  in  compliance  with  the  indentures  relating  to  our  0%  Notes,  3.875%  Notes  and  1.625% 
Notes and with covenants relating to our Term Loan “B” Facility and Revolving Credit Facility. Our 0% Notes, 3.875% Notes 
and 1.625% Notes are senior to the existing and future subordinated indebtedness of onsemi and our guarantor subsidiaries and 
rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior debt and as unsecured obligations and are subordinated 
to all of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. Failure to comply with any of our 
covenants or any other terms of our Term Loan “B” Facility and Revolving Credit Facility could result in higher interest rates 
on our borrowings or the acceleration of the maturities of our outstanding debt. 

See Note 9: “Long-Term Debt” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial  statements  included elsewhere in this Form 
10-K for additional information. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our audited consolidated 
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We 
believe certain of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our financial position and results of operations. We utilize the 
following  critical  accounting  policies  in  the  preparation  of  our  financial  statements.  In  addition  to  our  critical  accounting  policies 
below, see Note 2: “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere 
in this Form 10-K. 

Use  of  Estimates.  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  GAAP  requires  us  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the  reported 
amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis 
and  base  our  estimates  on  experience,  current  and  expected  future  conditions,  third-party  evaluations  and  various  other 
assumptions  that we believe  are reasonable  under the circumstances.  Significant  estimates  have been used by management in 
conjunction  with  the  following:  (i)  future  payouts  for  customer  incentives  and  amounts  subject  to  allowances  and  returns; 
(ii) valuation and obsolescence relating to inventories; (iii) measurement of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, and 

39 

evaluations of uncertain tax positions; (iv) assumptions used in business combinations; and (v) testing for impairment of long-
lived  assets  and  goodwill.  Additionally,  during  periods  where  it  becomes  applicable,  significant  estimates  will  be  used  by 
management  in  determining  the  future  cash  flows  used  to  assess  and  test  for  impairment  of  long-lived  assets  and  goodwill. 
Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements. 

Revenue Recognition. We generate revenue from sales of our semiconductor products to direct customers and distributors. We also 
generate revenue, to a much lesser extent, from product development agreements and manufacturing services provided to customers. 
We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation in an amount reflecting the consideration to which we expect to be 
entitled. For sales agreements, we have identified the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the performance 
obligation. For product development agreements, we have identified the completion of a service defined in the agreement to be the 
performance  obligation.  We  apply  a  five-step  approach  in  determining  the  amount  and  timing  of  revenue  to  be  recognized: 
(1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction 
price;  (4)  allocating  the  transaction  price  to  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  and  (5)  recognizing  revenue  when  the 
performance obligation is satisfied. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative stand-alone selling 
price.  In  determining  the  transaction  price,  we  evaluate  whether  the  price  is  subject  to  refund  or  adjustment  to  determine  the  net 
consideration  to  which  we  expect  to  be  entitled.  Substantially  all  of  our  revenue  is  recognized  at  the  time  control  of  the  products 
transfers to the customer. 

Sales to certain distributors, primarily those with ship and credit rights, can be subject to price adjustment on certain products. We 
develop an estimate of their expected claims under the ship and credit program based on the historical claims data submitted by 
product and customer and expected future claims, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to the amount of 
each claim as well as the historical period used to develop the estimate. 

Our direct customers do not have the right to return products, other than pursuant to the provisions of our standard warranty. 
Sales to distributors, however, are typically made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights and stock rotation provisions 
permitting  limited  levels  of  product  returns.  Provisions  for  discounts  and  rebates  to  customers,  estimated  returns  and 
allowances, ship and credit claims and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenue are recognized, 
and  are  netted  against  revenue.  For  non-quality  related  returns,  we  recognize  a  related  asset  for  the  right  to  recover  returned 
products with a corresponding reduction to cost of goods sold. We record a reserve for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts 
receivable and a reduction to revenue, based on the experience with each customer. 

Inventories. We carry our inventories at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or net 
realizable value and record provisions for potential excess and obsolete inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand 
compared to historical and projected end-user demand. The determination of projected end-user demand requires the use of estimates 
and  assumptions  related  to  projected  unit  sales  for  each  product.  These  provisions  can  influence  our  results  from  operations.  For 
example, when demand falls for a given part, all or a portion of the related inventory that is considered to be in excess of anticipated 
demand  is  reserved,  impacting  our  cost  of  revenue  and  gross  profit.  The  majority  of  product  inventory  that  has  been  previously 
reserved  is  ultimately  discarded.  However,  we  do  sell  some  products  that  have  previously  been  written  down,  such  sales  have 
historically been consistently insignificant and the related impact on our margins has also been insignificant. 

Income  Taxes.  Income  taxes  are  accounted  for  using  the  asset  and  liability  method.  Under  this  method,  deferred  income  tax 
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial 
statement  carrying  amounts  of  existing  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  respective  tax  bases.  Deferred  income  tax  assets  and 
liabilities  are  measured  using  enacted  tax  rates  expected  to  apply  to  taxable  income  in  the  years  in  which  these  temporary 
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities  of a change in tax rates is 
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax 
assets for which we cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized. 

In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, estimated future taxable income, feasible tax planning strategies, future 
reversals  of  existing  temporary  differences  and  taxable  income  in  prior  carryback  years,  if  a  carryback  is  permitted  are 
considered.  If  we  determine  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  all  or  a  portion  of  the  remaining  deferred  tax  assets  will  not  be 
realized, the valuation allowance will be increased with a charge to income tax expense. Conversely, if we determine it is more 
likely than not to be able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, 
the related portion of the valuation allowance will be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense. 

We recognize and measure benefits for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax 
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that is it more 

40 

likely  than  not  that  the  tax  positions  will  be  sustained  upon  audit,  including  resolution  of  any  related  appeals  or  litigation 
processes. For tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, the second step is to measure the tax benefit 
as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. No tax benefit is recognized for tax positions 
that  are  not  more  likely  than  not  to  be  sustained.  Our  practice  is  to  recognize  interest  and/or  penalties  related  to  income  tax 
matters in income tax expense. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions. Evaluations are based upon 
a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during 
the  course  of  tax  audits  and  effective  settlement  of  audit  issues.  Changes  in  the  recognition  or  measurement  of  uncertain  tax 
positions could result in material increases or decreases in income tax expense in the period in which the change is made, which 
could have a material impact to our effective tax rate. 

Business  Combination.  We  use  estimates  and  assumptions  in  allocating  the  purchase  price  of  acquired  business  by  utilizing 
established valuation techniques appropriate for the technology industry to record the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value. 
We  utilize  the  income  approach,  cost  approach  or  market  approach,  depending  upon  which  approach  is  the  most  appropriate 
based on the nature and reliability of available data. If the income approach is used, the fair value determination is predicated 
upon  the  value  of  the  future  cash  flows  that  an  asset  is  expected  to  generate  over  its  economic  life  and  involves  significant 
assumptions  as  to  cash  flows,  associated  expenses,  long-term  growth  rates  and  discount  rates.  The  cost  approach  takes  into 
account the cost to replace (or reproduce) the asset and involves assumptions relating to the asset’s value of physical, functional 
and/or economic obsolescence that has occurred with respect to the asset. The market approach is used to estimate value from 
an  analysis  of  actual  transactions  or  offerings  for  economically  comparable  assets  available  as  of  the  valuation  date. 
Determining  the fair  value of acquired  technology  assets  is judgmental  in nature and requires the use of significant  estimates 
and  assumptions,  including  the  discount  rate,  revenue  growth  rates,  projected  gross  margins,  and  estimated  research  and 
development expenses. 

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets. We evaluate our goodwill for potential impairment annually during the fourth 
quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Our 
impairment  evaluation  consists  of  a  qualitative  assessment,  and  if  deemed  necessary,  a  quantitative  test  is  performed  which 
compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. 

Determining  the  fair  value  of  our  reporting  units  is  subjective  in  nature  and  involves  the  use  of  significant  estimates  and 
assumptions,  including  projected  net  cash  flows,  discount  and  long-term  growth  rates.  We  determine  the  fair  value  of  our 
reporting units based on an income approach, whereby the fair value of the reporting unit is derived from the present value of 
estimated  future cash flows. The assumptions  about estimated  cash flows include factors such as future revenue, gross profit, 
operating  expenses,  and  industry  trends.  We  consider  historical  rates  and  current  market  conditions  when  determining  the 
discount and long-term growth rates to use in its analysis. We consider other valuation methods, such as the cost approach or 
market approach, if it is determined that these methods provide a more representative approximation of fair value. 

We  evaluate  the  recoverability  of  the  carrying  amount  of  our  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  intangible  assets,  whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. Impairment 
is  first  assessed  when  the  undiscounted  expected  cash  flows  derived  for  an  asset  group  are  less  than  its  carrying  amount. 
Impairment  losses,  if  applicable,  are  measured  as  the  amount  by  which  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  group  exceeds  its  fair 
value and are recognized in operating results. We continually apply our best judgment when applying these impairment rules to 
determine  the timing of the impairment  test, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments  and the fair value of an 
impaired asset group. The dynamic economic environment in which we operate and the resulting assumptions used to estimate 
future cash flows impact the outcome of our impairment tests. As we continue to implement our business strategy to rationalize 
products and manufacturing locations to transition to a lighter internal fabrication model, there could be divestiture transactions 
resulting in a portion of goodwill or other assets being de-recognized, and which may or may not result in accounting charges. 

Contingencies. We are involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. Based on the available 
information, we evaluate the relevant range and likelihood of potential outcomes and we record the appropriate liability when 
the amount is deemed probable and reasonably estimable.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate 
these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading 
purposes. 

As of December 31, 2022, our gross long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $3,228.3 million. We have no interest 
rate  exposure  to  rate  changes  on  our  fixed  rate  debt,  which  totaled  $2,392.3  million.  We  do  have  interest  rate  exposure  with 
respect to the $836.0 million balance of our variable interest rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2022. A 50 basis point 
increase  in  interest  rates  would  impact  our  expected  annual  interest  expense  for  the  next  12  months  by  approximately 
$5.4 million, inclusive of the impact of our interest rate swaps which hedge the risk of variability in the interest payment cash 
flows  on  a  portion  of  our  variable  interest  rate  debt.  Additionally,  some  of  this  impact  would be  offset  by additional  interest 
earned on our cash and cash equivalents should rates on deposits and investments also increase. 

To  ensure  the  adequacy  and  effectiveness  of  our  foreign  exchange  hedge  positions,  we  continually  monitor  our  foreign 
exchange  forward  positions.  However,  given  the  inherent  limitations  of  forecasting  and  the  anticipatory  nature  of  exposures 
intended  to  be  hedged,  we  cannot  provide  any  assurances  that  such  programs  will  offset  more  than  a  portion  of  the  adverse 
financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates. 

We are subject to risks associated with transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies, as 
well as the effects of translating amounts denominated in a foreign currency to the U.S. Dollar as a normal part of the reporting 
process.  Some  of  our  Japanese  operations  utilize  Japanese  Yen  as  the  functional  currency,  which  results  in  a  translation 
adjustment that is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. 

We enter into forward foreign currency contracts that economically hedge the gains and losses generated by the re-measurement 
of certain recorded assets and liabilities in a non-functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these undesignated hedges are 
recognized in other income and expense immediately as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being 
hedged.  The  notional  amount  of  foreign  exchange  contracts  at  December  31,  2022  and  2021  was  $272.0  million  and 
$288.3 million, respectively. 

Substantially all of our revenue is transacted in U.S. Dollars. However, a significant amount of our operating expenditures and 
capital purchases are transacted in local currencies, including Chinese Renminbi, Czech Koruna, Euros, Japanese Yen, Korean 
Won,  Malaysian  Ringgit,  Philippine  Peso  and  Vietnamese  Dong.  Due  to  the  materiality  of  our  transactions  in  these  local 
currencies, our results are impacted by changes in currency exchange rates measured against the U.S. Dollar. For example, we 
determined  that  based  on  a  hypothetical  weighted-average  change  of  10%  in  currency  exchange  rates,  our  operating  income 
would  have  impacted  our  income  before  taxes  by  approximately  $112.8  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022, 
assuming no offsetting hedge position or correlated activities. 

See  Note  15:  “Financial  Instruments”  in  the  notes  to  the  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  included  elsewhere  in  this 
Form 10-K for further information with respect to our hedging activity.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. 

We  carried  out  an  evaluation,  under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  our  management,  including  our  Chief 
Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  of  the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined  in 
Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  of  the  Exchange  Act).  Based  upon  that  evaluation,  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief 
Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures 
were  effective  to  ensure  that  information  required  to  be  disclosed  in  reports  filed  or  submitted  under  the  Exchange  Act  is 
recorded,  processed,  summarized  and reported  within the required  time periods and is accumulated  and communicated  to our 
management,  including  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  as  appropriate,  to  allow  timely  decisions 

42 

regarding required disclosure. 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. 

We  also  carried  out  an  evaluation,  under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  our  management,  including  our  Chief 
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022. 

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial  reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 
15d-15(f)) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 which have materially affected, or are reasonably 
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may 
not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk 
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and 
procedures may deteriorate. 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making 
this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 
Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control 
over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. 

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 excluded the 
East Fishkill, New York site and fabrication facility (“EFK”), which was acquired in a purchase business combination by the 
Company on December 31, 2022. EFK’s total assets and total revenue excluded from management’s assessment represent 3.4% 
and 0%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. 

The  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2022  has  been  audited  by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP,  an  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,  as  stated  in  their  report  which  appears  in 
“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” of this Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ON Semiconductor Corporation 

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  ON  Semiconductor  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  (the 
“Company”)  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive 
income, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including 
the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as 
the  “consolidated  financial  statements”).  We  also  have  audited  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). 

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial 
position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the 
three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States  of  America.  Also  in  our  opinion,  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over 
financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2022,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework 
(2013) issued by the COSO. 

Basis for Opinions 

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  these  consolidated  financial  statements,  for  maintaining  effective  internal 
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included 
in  Management’s  Report  on  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting  appearing  under  Item  9A.  Our  responsibility  is  to 
express  opinions  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements  and  on  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal 
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audits  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement, 
whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all  material 
respects. 

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement 
of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. 
Such  procedures  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated 
financial  statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control 
over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a 
material  weakness  exists,  and  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the 
assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. 

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded East Fishkill, 
New  York  site  and  fabrication  facilities  (“EFK”)  from  its  assessment  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
December 31, 2022 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2022. We have also 
excluded EFK from our audit of internal  control over financial reporting. EFK’s total assets and total revenue excluded from 
management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent 3.4% and 0%, respectively, of the 
related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted  accounting  principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures 
that  (i)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 

52 

dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit 
preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and 
expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the 
company; and (iii)  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Also, 
projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become  inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Critical Audit Matters 

The  critical  audit  matter  communicated  below  is  a  matter  arising  from  the  current  period  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements  that  was  communicated  or  required  to  be  communicated  to  the  audit  committee  and  that  (i)  relates  to  accounts  or 
disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or 
complex  judgments.  The  communication  of  critical  audit  matters  does  not  alter  in  any  way  our  opinion  on  the  consolidated 
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate 
opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. 

Valuation of Inventories 

As described in Notes 2 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s inventory balance of $1,616.8 million as 
of December 31, 2022, is stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or net 
realizable value. Management writes down excess and obsolete inventories based upon a regular analysis of inventory on hand 
compared to historical and projected end-user demand. 

The  principal  considerations  for  our  determination  that  performing  procedures  relating  to  the  valuation  of  inventories  is  a 
critical  audit  matter  are  the  significant  judgment  by  management  in  developing  the  write  down  for  excess  and  obsolete 
inventories. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate 
the reasonableness of management’s analysis, including the inputs utilized and the significant assumptions related to projected 
end-user demand employed within the analysis. 

Addressing  the  matter  involved  performing  procedures  and  evaluating  audit  evidence  in  connection  with  forming  our  overall 
opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the 
valuation  of  inventories.  These  procedures  also  included,  among  others  (i)  testing  management’s  process  for  developing  the 
write  down  for  excess  and  obsolete  inventories,  (ii)  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  the  analysis,  and  (iii)  evaluating  the 
reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to projected end-user demand used by management in developing the write 
down  for  excess  and  obsolete  inventories.  Evaluating  the  reasonableness  of  the  assumptions  related  to  projected  end-user 
demand  involved  considering  the  performance  of  product  sales  and  whether  they  were  consistent  with  evidence  obtained  in 
other areas of the audit.

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note 1: Background and Basis of Presentation 

ON Semiconductor Corporation, with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (“onsemi” or the “Company”) operate under 
the  onsemiTM  brand,  and  prepares  its  consolidated  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company was organized into three operating segments, which also represent its three reportable 
segments: 

(cid:129)
PSG; 
(cid:129) ASG; and 
ISG. 
(cid:129)

Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions, except per share amounts. Certain reclassifications have been made 
to prior period amounts to conform to current-period presentation. 

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies 

Principles of Consolidation 

The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the assets, liabilities,  revenue and expenses of all wholly-owned 
and  majority-owned  subsidiaries  over  which  the  Company  exercises  control  and,  when  applicable,  entities  in  which  the 
Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates where the Company does not 
exert a controlling financial interest are not consolidated. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and 
expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its 
estimates  on  experience,  current  and  expected  future  conditions,  third-party  evaluations  and  various  other  assumptions  that 
management  believes  are  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  Significant  estimates  have  been  used  by  management  in 
conjunction  with  the  following:  (i)  future  payouts  for  customer  incentives  and  amounts  subject  to  allowances  and  returns; 
(ii) valuation and obsolescence relating to inventories; (iii) measurement of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, and 
evaluations of uncertain tax positions; (iv) assumptions used in business combinations; and (v) testing for impairment of long-
lived  assets  and  goodwill.  Additionally,  during  periods  where  it  becomes  applicable,  significant  estimates  will  be  used  by 
management in determining the future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill and in 
assumptions used in connection with business combinations. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used 
in the consolidated financial statements. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities at the 
time of purchase of three months or less. The Company maintains amounts on deposit at various financial institutions, which 
may  at  times  exceed  federally  insured  limits.  However,  management  periodically  evaluates  the  credit-worthiness  of  those 
institutions and has not experienced any losses on such deposits. 

Inventories 

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable 
value.  General  market  conditions,  as  well  as  the  Company’s  design  activities,  can  cause  certain  of  its  products  to  become 
obsolete.  The  Company  writes  down  excess  and  obsolete  inventories  based  upon  a  regular  analysis  of  inventory  on  hand 
compared  to  historical  and  projected  end-user  demand.  The  determination  of  projected  end-user  demand  requires  the  use  of 
estimates  and  assumptions  related  to  projected  unit  sales  for  each  product.  These  write  downs  can  influence  results  from 
operations. For example, when demand for a given part falls, all or a portion of the related inventory that is considered to be in 

58 

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

excess  of  anticipated  demand  is  written  down,  impacting  cost  of  revenue  and  gross  profit.  However,  the  majority  of  product 
inventory that has been previously written down is ultimately discarded. Although the Company does sell some products that 
have  previously  been  written  down,  such  sales  have  historically  been  consistently  insignificant  and  the  related  impact  on  the 
Company’s gross profit has also been insignificant. 

Property, Plant and Equipment 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and 
3-20 years for computers, machinery and equipment using straight-line methods. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are 
charged  to  operations  in  the  period  in  which  the  expense  is  incurred.  When  assets  are  retired  or  otherwise  disposed  of,  the 
related  costs  and  accumulated  depreciation  are  removed  from  the  balance  sheet  and  any  resulting  gain  or  loss  is  reflected  in 
operations in the period realized. 

The  Company  evaluates  the  recoverability  of  the  carrying  amount  of  its  property,  plant  and  equipment  whenever  events  or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. A potential impairment 
charge is evaluated when the undiscounted expected cash flows derived from an asset group are less than its carrying amount. 
Impairment  losses,  if  applicable,  are  measured  as  the  amount  by  which  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  group  exceeds  its  fair 
value. Judgment is used when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment test, the undiscounted 
cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of the asset group. 

Business Combination Purchase Price Allocation 

The allocation of the purchase price of business combinations is based on management estimates and assumptions, which utilize 
established  valuation  techniques  appropriate  for the technology  industry.  These techniques  include  the income  approach,  cost 
approach  or  market  approach,  depending  upon  which  approach  is  the  most  appropriate  based  on  the  nature  and  reliability  of 
available data. Management records the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value. If the income approach is used, the fair value 
determination is predicated upon the value of the future cash flows that an asset is expected to generate over its economic life. 
The cost approach takes into account the cost to replace (or reproduce) the asset and the effects on the asset’s value of physical, 
functional and/or economic obsolescence that has occurred with respect to the asset. The market approach is used to estimate 
value  from  an  analysis  of  actual  market  transactions  or  offerings  for  economically  comparable  assets  available  as  of  the 
valuation  date.  Determining  the  fair  value  of  acquired  technology  assets  is  judgmental  in  nature  and  requires  the  use  of 
significant estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate, revenue growth rates, projected gross margins, and estimated 
research and development and other operating expenses. 

Goodwill 

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  the  purchase  price  over  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  net  assets  acquired  in  a  business 
combination.  The  Company  evaluates  its  goodwill  for impairment  annually  during the fourth  quarter  and whenever events  or 
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. The Company’s divisions are 
one level below the operating segments, constituting individual businesses, at which level the Company’s segment management 
conducts regular reviews of the operating results. The Company’s divisions, either individually or in a combination, constitute 
reporting units for purposes of allocating and testing goodwill. 

The  Company’s  impairment  evaluation  consists  of  a  qualitative  assessment.  If  this  assessment  indicates  that  it  is  more  likely 
than not the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired. Otherwise, a 
quantitative  impairment  test  is  performed  by  comparing  the  fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit  to  its  carrying  value,  including 
goodwill.  The  Company  can  bypass  the  qualitative  assessment  for  any  period  and  proceed  directly  to  the  quantitative 
impairment test. If the carrying value of the net assets associated with the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting 
unit, goodwill is considered impaired and will be determined as the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds 
its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. 

Determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units is subjective in nature and involves the use of significant estimates 
and assumptions, including projected net cash flows, discount rates and long-term growth rates. The Company determines the 
fair value of its reporting units based on an income approach derived from the present value of estimated future cash flows. The 
assumptions  about  estimated  cash  flows  include  factors  such  as  future  revenue,  gross  profit,  operating  expenses  and  industry 
trends.  The  Company  considers  historical  rates  and  current  market  conditions  when  determining  the  discount  and  long-term 
growth  rates  to  use  in  its  analysis.  The  Company  considers  other  valuation  methods,  such  as  the  cost  approach  or  market 
approach, if it is determined that these methods provide a more representative approximation of fair value. 

59 

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

Intangible Assets 

The Company’s acquisitions have resulted in intangible assets consisting of values assigned to customer relationships, patents, 
developed technology, licenses, and trademarks, which are considered long-lived assets and are stated at cost less accumulated 
amortization. These intangible assets, which are considered long-lived assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and 
are  reviewed  for  impairment  when  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  group 
containing these assets may not be recoverable. 

Leases 

The  Company  determines  if  an  arrangement  is  a  lease  at  its  inception.  Operating  and  financing  lease  arrangements  are 
comprised primarily of real estate and equipment agreements for which the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in other 
assets and the corresponding lease liabilities, depending on their maturity, are included in Accrued expenses and other current 
liabilities or other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make 
lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on 
the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is 
reasonably  certain  that  the  option  will  be  exercised.  Leases  with  a  term  of  12  months  or  less  are  not  recorded  on  the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments considering the 
term of the lease, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, giving consideration to publicly 
available data for instruments with similar characteristics. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a 
single lease component. 

Debt Issuance Costs 

Debt issuance costs for the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility are capitalized and amortized over the term of the facility on a 
straight-line basis. Amortization is included in interest expense while the unamortized balance is included in other assets. 

Debt issuance costs for the Company’s convertible notes, senior notes and term debt are recorded as a direct deduction from the 
carrying  amounts  of  such  debt,  consistent  with  debt  discounts,  and  are  amortized  over  their  term  using  the  effective  interest 
method. Amortization is included in interest expense. 

Contingencies 

The Company is involved in a variety of legal matters, IP matters, environmental, financing and indemnification contingencies 
that arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on the information available, management evaluates the relevant range and 
likelihood  of  potential  outcomes  and  records  the  appropriate  liability  when  the  amount  is  deemed  probable  and  reasonably 
estimable. 

Treasury Stock 

Treasury  stock  is  recorded  at  cost,  inclusive  of  fees,  commissions  and  other  expenses,  when  outstanding  common  shares  are 
repurchased, bond hedges issued in connection with the convertible notes are settled and when outstanding shares are withheld 
to  satisfy  tax  withholding  obligations  in  connection  with  certain  shares  pursuant  to  RSUs  under  the  Company’s  share-based 
compensation plans. Re-issuance of shares held in treasury stock is accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis. 

Revenue Recognition 

The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to direct customers and distributors. The Company 
also generates revenue, to a much lesser extent, from product development agreements and manufacturing services provided to 
customers.  Revenue  is  recognized  when  the  Company  satisfies  a  performance  obligation  in  an  amount  reflecting  the 
consideration  to  which  it  expects  to  be  entitled.  For  sales  agreements,  the  Company  has  identified  the  promise  to  transfer 
products,  each  of  which  is  distinct,  as  the  performance  obligation.  For  product  development  agreements,  the  Company  has 
identified the completion of a service defined in the agreement as the performance obligation. The Company applies a five-step 
approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) 

60 

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price 
to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. 

Sales agreements with customers are renewable periodically and contain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, 
warranty and supply. In the absence of a sales agreement, the Company’s standard terms and conditions apply. The Company 
considers the customer purchase orders, governed by sales agreements or the Company’s standard terms and conditions, to be 
the contract with the customer. The Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk). 

The  Company  allocates  the  transaction  price  to  each  distinct  product  based  on  its  relative  stand-alone  selling  price.  In 
determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the 
net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company’s direct customers do not have the right to return 
products, other than pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s standard warranty. Sales to distributors, however, are typically 
made  pursuant  to  agreements  that  provide  return  rights  and  stock  rotation  provisions  permitting  limited  levels  of  product 
returns.  Sales  to  certain  distributors,  primarily  those  with  ship  and  credit  rights,  can  also  be  subject  to  price  adjustment  on 
certain products. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days. In addition, the 
Company offers cash discounts to certain customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally ten days after 
shipment, which is recorded as a reduction to revenue. 

The Company recognizes revenue from sales agreements upon transferring control of a product to the customer, which typically 
occurs  when  products  are  shipped  or  delivered,  depending  on  the  delivery  terms,  or  when  products  that  are  consigned  at 
customer locations are consumed. The Company recognizes revenue from product development agreements over time based on 
the cost-to-cost method. Revenue is also recognized over time for products with no alternative use and an enforceable right to 
payment as they are manufactured, which represents a contract asset. The Company can receive cash payments from customers 
in advance of the Company’s performance  obligation  being satisfied,  which represents  a contract  liability.  Contract liabilities 
are recognized as revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied. Sales returns and allowances, which include ship and 
credit  reserves  for  distributors,  are  estimated  based  on  historical  claims  data  and  expected  future  claims.  Provisions  for 
discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, ship and credit claims and other adjustments are provided 
for in the same period the related revenue are recognized, and are netted against revenue. 

Frequently, the Company receives orders with multiple delivery dates that may extend across reporting periods. Each delivery 
constitutes an individual performance obligation, which consists of transferring control of the products to the customers based 
on their stand-alone selling price. The Company invoices the customer for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenue 
in accordance  with delivery  terms.  As scheduled delivery dates are within one year, revenue allocated  to future shipments  of 
partially  completed  contracts  are  not  disclosed.  The  Company  records  freight  and  handling  costs  associated  with  outbound 
freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer as a fulfillment cost and includes it in cost of revenue. Taxes 
assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value-added and excise taxes, are presented on 
a net basis (excluded from revenue). 

The  Company  generally  warrants  that  products  sold  to  its  customers  will,  at  the  time  of  shipment,  be  free  from  defects  in 
workmanship and materials and conform to specifications. The Company’s standard warranty extends for a period of two years 
from  the  date  of  delivery,  except  in  the  case  of  image  sensor  products,  which  are  warrantied  for  one  year  from  the  date  of 
delivery.  At  the  time  revenue  is  recognized,  the  Company  establishes  an  accrual  for  estimated  warranty  expenses  associated 
with its sales and records them as a component of the cost of revenue. 

Research and Development Costs 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. 

Income Taxes 

Income  taxes  are  accounted  for  using  the  asset  and  liability  method.  Under  this  method,  deferred  income  tax  assets  and 
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement 
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are 
measured  using  enacted  tax  rates  expected  to  apply  to  taxable  income  in  the  years  in  which  these  temporary  differences  are 
expected  to  be  recovered  or  settled.  The  effect  on  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  of  a  change  in  tax  rates  is  recognized  in 
income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which 
management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized. 

61 

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, estimated future taxable income, feasible tax planning strategies, future 
reversals  of  existing  temporary  differences  and  taxable  income  in  prior  carryback  years,  if  a  carryback  is  permitted,  are 
considered. If the Company determines it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the remaining deferred tax assets will 
not  be  realized,  the  valuation  allowance  will  be  increased  with  a  charge  to  income  tax  expense.  Conversely,  if  the  Company 
determines  it  is  more  likely  than  not  to  be  able  to  utilize  all  or  a  portion  of  the  deferred  tax  assets  for  which  a  valuation 
allowance  has  been  provided,  the  related  portion  of  the  valuation  allowance  will  be  recorded  as  a  reduction  to  income  tax 
expense. 

The  Company  recognizes  and  measures  benefits  for  uncertain  tax  positions  using  a  two-step  approach.  The  first  step  is  to 
evaluate  the  tax  position  taken  or  expected  to  be  taken  in  a  tax  return  by  determining  if  the  weight  of  available  evidence 
indicates that is it more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon audit, including resolution of any related 
appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, the second step is to 
measure  the  tax  benefit  as  the  largest  amount  that  is  more  than  50%  likely  to  be  realized  upon  settlement.  No  tax  benefit  is 
recognized for tax positions that are not more likely than not to be sustained. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest 
and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax 
positions.  Evaluations  are  based  upon  a  number  of  factors,  including  changes  in  facts  or  circumstances,  changes  in  tax  law, 
correspondence  with  tax  authorities  during  the  course  of  tax  audits  and  effective  settlement  of  audit  issues.  Changes  in  the 
recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions could result in significant increases or decreases in income tax expense in 
the period in which the change is made, which could have a significant impact to the Company’s effective tax rate. 

Foreign Currencies 

Most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries conduct business primarily in U.S. dollars and, as a result, utilize the U.S. dollar as 
their  functional  currency.  For the remeasurement  of financial  statements  of these subsidiaries,  assets and liabilities  in foreign 
currencies  that  are  receivable  or  payable  in  cash  are  remeasured  at  current  exchange  rates,  while  inventories  and  other 
non-monetary assets in foreign currencies are remeasured at historical rates. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement 
of  such  financial  statements  are  included  in  the  operating  results,  as  are  gains  and  losses  incurred  on  foreign  currency 
transactions. 

Some  of  the  Company’s  Japanese  subsidiaries  utilize  Japanese  Yen  as  their  functional  currency.  The  assets  and  liabilities  of 
these  subsidiaries  are  translated  at  current  exchange  rates,  while  revenue  and  expenses  are  translated  at  the  average  rates  in 
effect  for  the  period.  The  related  translation  gains  and  losses  are  included  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  loss  within  the 
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. 

Defined Benefit Pension Plans 

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its foreign employees. Net periodic pension costs and 
pension obligations are determined based on actuarial assumptions, including discount rates for plan obligations, assumed rates 
of  return  on  pension  plan  assets  and  assumed  rates  of  compensation  increases  for  employees  participating  in  plans.  These 
assumptions  are  based  upon  management’s  judgment  and  consultation  with  actuaries,  considering  all  known  trends  and 
uncertainties. The service cost component of the net periodic pension cost is allocated between the cost of revenue, research and 
development, selling and marketing and general and administrative line items, while the other components are included in other 
expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. 

Fair Value Measurement 

The  Company  measures  certain  of  its  financial  and  non-financial  assets  at  fair  value  by  using  the  fair  value  hierarchy  that 
prioritizes certain inputs into individual fair value measurement approaches. The fair value hierarchy, which is based on three 
levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the third, unobservable. The Company has elected not to 
carry any of its debt instruments at fair value. 

Note 3: Revenue and Segment Information 

Revenue recognized for product sales amounted to $8,306.1 million, $6,719.9 million and $5,227.8 million for the years ended 
December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  Revenue  recognized  for  product  development  agreements  amounted  to 
$20.1 million, $19.9 million and $27.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

A  significant  portion  of  the  Company’s  orders  are  firm  commitments  that  are  non-cancellable,  including  certain  orders  or 
contracts  with  a  duration  of  less  than  one  year.  Certain  of  the  Company’s  customer  contracts  are  multi-year  agreements  that

include  firmly  committed  amounts  (“Long-term  Supply  Agreements”  or  “LTSA’s”)  for  which  the  remaining  performance 
obligations  as  of  December  31,  2022  were  approximately  $16.6  billion  (excluding  the  remaining  performance  obligations  for 
contracts  having  a  duration  of  one  year  or  less).  The  Company  expects  to  recognize  approximately  31%  of  this  amount  as 
revenue  during  the  next  twelve  months  upon  shipment  of  products  under  these  contracts.  Total  sales  estimates  are  based  on 
negotiated  contract  prices  and  demand  quantities,  and  could  be  influenced  by  manufacturing  issues,  supply  chain  constraints, 
and modifications to customer agreements, among other things. Accordingly, the amount represented by remaining performance 
obligations may not be indicative of the actual revenue recognized for future periods. 

A  portion  of  our  LTSA’s  include  non-cancellable  capacity  payments  which  secure  production  availability  for  our  customers’ 
orders  or  represent  deposits,  which  prepay  a  portion  of  a  given  customer’s  product  obligation.  During  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2022  and  2021,  the  Company  recorded  capacity  payments  of  $162.9  million  and  $57.1  million,  respectively, 
which  were  recorded  within  contract  liabilities.  As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  $8.4  million  and  $11.5  million, 
respectively,  of  the  capacity  payments  were  recorded  in  accounts  receivable.  Capacity  payments  totaled  $190.4  million  as  of 
December  31,  2022,  of  which  $60.5  million  and  $129.9  million  were  recorded  as  current  liabilities  and  other  long-term 
liabilities,  respectively.  Contract  assets  were  $2.3  million  as  of  December  31,  2022,  and  there  were  no  contract  assets  as  of 
December  31,  2021.  During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2022,  $23.8  million  and  an  immaterial  amount,  respectively,  was 
recognized as revenue for satisfying the associated performance obligations. 

The Company is organized into three operating and reportable segments consisting of PSG, ASG and ISG. The operating costs 
of manufacturing facilities which service all business units are reflected in the segments’ cost of revenue on the basis of product 
costs. Because operating segments are generally defined by the products they design and sell, they do not sell to each other. The 
Company does not allocate income taxes or interest expense to its operating segments as the operating segments are principally 
evaluated  on  gross  profit.  Additionally,  restructuring,  asset  impairments  and  other  charges,  net  and  certain  other  operating 
expenses, which include corporate research and development costs and miscellaneous nonrecurring expenses are not allocated to 
segments.  In  addition  to  the  operating  and  reportable  segments,  the  Company  also  operates  global  operations,  sales  and 
marketing, information systems and finance and administration groups. A portion of the expenses for each of these groups are 
allocated to the segments based on specific and general criteria. 

Revenue and gross profit for the Company’s operating and reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

The Company operates in various geographic locations. Sales to unaffiliated customers have little correlation with the location 
of  the  Company’s  manufacturing.  It  is,  therefore,  not  meaningful  to  present  operating  profit  by  geographical  location.  The 
Company does not discretely allocate assets to its operating segments, nor does management evaluate operating segments using 
discrete  asset  information.  The  Company’s  consolidated  assets  are  not  specifically  ascribed  to  its  individual  reportable 
segments. Rather, assets used in operations are generally shared across the Company’s operating and reportable segments.

The following table illustrates the product technologies under each of the Company’s reportable segments based on the Company’s 
operating  strategy.  Because  many  products  are  sold  into  different  end-markets,  the  total  revenue  reported  for  a  segment  is  not 
indicative of actual sales in the end-market associated with that segment, but rather is the sum of the revenue from the product lines 
assigned to that segment. These segments represent the Company’s view of the business and as such are used to evaluate progress 
of major initiatives and allocation of resources.

Note 4: Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Other Developments 

Adopted: 

ASU 2020-06 - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt 
instruments  by  removing  the  separation  models  for  (1)  convertible  debt  with  a  cash  conversion  feature  and  (2)  convertible 
instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. Entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature 
in such debt and will account for a convertible  debt instrument  wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. Also, 
ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share and 
the  treasury  stock  method  will  be  no  longer  available.  The  Company  adopted  ASU  2020-06  as  of  January  1,  2022  using  the 
modified retrospective method, and recorded adjustments to reduce additional paid-in capital by $129.1 million and increased 
opening  retained  earnings  by  $27.1  million  to  reflect  the  cumulative  effect  of  the  adoption.  For  additional  information,  see 
Note 9: “Long-Term Debt”.

ASU 2021-10 - Government Assistance (Topic 832)—Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (“ASU 
2021-10”) 

In  November  2021,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2021-10  to  increase  transparency  about  certain  government  assistance  or  grants 
received  by  a  business  entity.  The  standard  requires  annual  disclosures  of  the  nature  of  the  transactions,  including  the 
commitments, contingencies, and the terms and conditions attached to the grant, the form in which the assistance was provided, 
the accounting policies used to account for the transactions and the effect of the transactions on the entity’s financial statements. 
The  Company  adopted  ASU  2021-10  as  of  January  1,  2022  using  the  prospective  method  of  adoption.  Adoption  of  ASU 
2021-10  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements  (For  applicable  disclosures,  see  Note  13: 
“Commitments and Contingencies.” 

New Legislation: 

CHIPS Act 

In August 2022, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act, H.R. 4346 (the “CHIPS Act”) and 
the Inflation Reduction Act, H.R. 5376 (the “IR Act”) were signed into law. Among other things, the CHIPS Act provides for a 
refundable  tax  credit  and  certain  other  financial  incentives  to  further  investments  in  domestic  manufacturing.  The  IR  Act 
introduces  a  15%  corporate  alternative  minimum  tax  (“CAMT”)  for  certain  corporations.  The  Company  is  evaluating  the 
provisions of the new laws and the potential impacts to the Company. See Note 4: ‘‘Recent Accounting Pronouncements and 
Other Developments.” 

Inflation Reduction Act 

On August 16, 2022, the IR Act, was signed into law. The IR Act introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) for 
corporations  whose  average  annual  adjusted  financial  statement  income  for  any  consecutive  three-tax-year  period  preceding  the 
applicable tax year exceeds $1 billion and a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases The CAMT and the excise tax are effective in 
taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the provisions of the new law and its potential impact to 
the Company. 

Note 5: Acquisitions and Divestitures 

The Company pursues acquisitions and divestitures from time to time to leverage its existing capabilities and further expand its 
business  to achieve  certain  strategic  goals. Acquisition  costs are not included as components  of consideration  transferred  and 
instead are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 
2021 and 2020, the Company incurred acquisition and divestiture related costs of approximately of $12.9 million, $11.9 million 
and  $1.0  million,  respectively,  which  are  included  in  operating  expenses  in  the  Company’s  Consolidated  Statements  of 
Operations and Comprehensive Income. Following are the acquisitions and divestitures during 2022, 2021 and 2020. 

2022 Acquisitions and Divestitures 

EFK Acquisition 

On December 31, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the East Fishkill, New York site and fabrication (“EFK” facility and 
certain  other  assets  and liabilities  from  GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S. Inc. (“GFUS”), previously announced in April 2019, for 
total  consideration  of  $406.3  million,  which  is  accounted  for  as  a  business  combination.  In  connection  with  the  acquisition 
agreement, the Company paid GFUS $100.0 million and $70.0 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively, with the balance of 
$236.3 million paid on January 3, 2023. Additionally, the Company paid GFUS a one-time license fee of $30.0 million in cash 
for certain technology during 2019, which has been recognized as an intangible asset subject to amortization. 

In connection with the amendment to the acquisition agreement, the Company also entered into an amendment to an ancillary 
agreement  relating  to  the  provision  of  foundry  services  entered  into  in  connection  with  the  execution  of  the  acquisition 
agreement,  which provided  the Company certain  additional  tools  and flexibility  in its capital expenditures  and manufacturing 
plans for 2021 and 2022.

2021 Acquisition and Divestiture 

GT Advanced Technologies, Inc. (“GTAT”) Acquisition 

On October 28, 2021, the Company acquired all of outstanding equity interests of GTAT. The Company believes the acquisition 
of GTAT will act as a building block to fuel growth and accelerate innovation in disruptive intelligent power technologies and 
secure supply of SiC to meet growing customer demand for SiC-based solutions in the sustainable ecosystem. 

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the purchase price totaled 
$434.9 million. Cash consideration amounted to $424.6 million, of which $17.0 million was deposited for general representation 
and  warranty  purposes  in  an  escrow  account,  legally  owned  by  the  Company.  The  remaining  consideration  of  approximately 
$10.0  million  represented  the  value  of  certain  pre-acquisition  deposits  and  payable  balances  effectively  settled  between  the 
parties  since  the  Company  was  GTAT’s  customer.  From  the  closing  date  of  the  acquisition  through  December  31,  2021,  the 
Company recognized immaterial revenue and net loss relating to GTAT. 

As of December 31, 2022, $5.8 million of the restricted cash balance remained in escrow relating to the acquisition of GTAT 
and will be released to the former stockholders of GTAT upon satisfaction of the remaining outstanding items contained in the 
acquisition agreement.

Developed technology of $130.0 million, determined using the income approach is estimated to have a useful life of 13 years. 
There were no IPRD intangible assets identified. The acquisition produced $274.8 million of goodwill, which has been assigned 
to  a  reporting  unit  within  PSG.  Goodwill  is  attributable  to  the  expected  value  generation  by  GTAT  by  being  part  of  the 
Company  along  with  a  more  meaningful  engagement  by  the  customers  due  to  the  scale  of  the  combined  entities,  GTAT’s 
assembled workforce and other product and operating synergies. Goodwill arising from the GTAT acquisition is not deductible 
for tax purposes.

On  October  1,  2021,  the  Company  divested  itself  of  one  of  its  businesses  along  with  the  related  intellectual  property  for 
aggregate  consideration  of  approximately  $13.6  million  and  recognized  a  gain  of  $10.2  million  after  offsetting  the  carrying 
values of the disposed assets and liabilities. 

Note 6: Goodwill and Intangible Assets 

Goodwill 

Goodwill  is  tested  for  impairment  annually  on  the  first  day  of  the  fourth  quarter  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances  (each,  a  “triggering  event”)  would  more-likely-than-not  reduce  the  fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit  below  its 
carrying value. 

With  regard  to  QCS,  the  Company  recorded  $330.0  million  of  goodwill  impairment  charges  and  $56.8  million  of  intangible 
impairment charges in 2022. These charges were incurred as a result of the Company’s failed sale of the QCS division followed 
by the approved exit plan to wind down the division. The division is generally associated with the Company’s legacy Quantenna 
division,  representing  less  than  2.0%  of  the  Company’s  consolidated  revenue  for  2022,  less  than  3.0%  of  the  Company’s 
consolidated revenue for 2021 and approximately 3.0% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for 2020. 

Of the $330.0 million of goodwill impairment charges, $115.0 million was recorded during the Company’s second fiscal quarter ended 
July 1, 2022, the Company determined that a market approach was the most appropriate method to evaluate the recoverability of the 
carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit, as the Company was attempting to sell this reporting unit to an interested party. 
For the remainder of the impairment charge recorded in the Company’s third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company 
determined that the discounted cash flow method under the income approach was the most appropriate method to estimate the fair 
value  of  the  reporting  unit  to  evaluate  the  recoverability  of  the  carrying  value  of  the  reporting  unit’s  net  assets.  As  a  result  of  the 
impairment, the QCS division had no remaining goodwill or intangible balances.

On  September  16,  2022,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  approved  an  exit  plan  to  wind  down  QCS  as  part  of  its  ongoing 
efforts to focus on growth drivers and key markets, and to streamline its operations. As part of the exit plan, during the third 
quarter of 2022, the Company notified approximately 330 employees of their employment termination and incurred severance 
costs and other benefits of approximately $12.7 million. Approximately 304 employees exited during 2022 and $3.4 million of 
severance  costs  and  other  benefits  remained  accrued  as  of  December  31,  2022.  The  Company  expects  to  pay  the  remaining 
accrued expense during the first quarter of 2023.

In  connection  with  the  exit  plan,  the  Company  recorded  $18.9  million  of  exit  costs,  which  primarily  relates  to  contract 
cancellation  charges and litigation  charges. The Company impaired  $8.0 million of Property, Plant and Equipment as well as 
$10.6 million of other miscellaneous assets. The Company recorded inventory reserves associated with the QCS wind down of 
$24.5 million which was recorded in cost of revenue. 

Other 

The additional activity during the year ended December 31, 2022 represented payments to employees whose employment was 
terminated during 2021. The Company expects to pay the remaining accrued expense during the first quarter of 2023. 

Year ended December 31, 2021: 

2021 Involuntary Separation Program 

During  2021,  the  Company  implemented  the  2021  Involuntary  Separation  Program  restructuring  program  (the  “2021  ISP”). 
Under  the  2021  ISP,  the  Company  notified  approximately  960  employees  of  their  employment  termination  with  aggregate 
severance costs and other charges amounting to $65.3 million. The Company also incurred certain insignificant charges relating 
to another program during the fourth quarter of 2021. 

The Company continues to evaluate employee positions and locations for potential efficiencies and may incur additional charges 
in the future. 

Year ended December 31, 2020: 

Voluntary Separation Program 

During  the  first  quarter  of  2020,  the  Company  offered  the  Voluntary  Separation  Program  (the  “VSP”) to employees  that  met 
certain criteria. Management approved 243 employees for participation in the VSP during the first quarter, after which the VSP 
was terminated. The aggregate expense for the VSP amounted to $27.5 million for the 243 employees, all of whom had exited 
by the end of the second quarter of 2020. All amounts under the VSP have been paid during 2020, and there are no payments 
remaining as of December 31, 2022. 

2020 Involuntary Separation Program 

During  the  second  quarter  of  2020,  the  Company  implemented  the  2020  Involuntary  Separation  Program  (the  “2020  ISP”). 
Under  the  2020  ISP,  the  Company  notified  approximately  191  employees  of  their  employment  termination  with  aggregate 
severance  costs  and  other  benefits  amounting  to  $11.8  million.  All  notified  employees  have  exited  during  2020  and  an 
insignificant amount remained accrued as of December 31, 2022. 

General workforce reduction 

In addition to the VSP and the 2020 ISP, the Company undertook certain general workforce reduction measures during 2020, 
under  which,  the  Company  notified  approximately  260  employees  of  their  employment  termination  with aggregate  severance 
costs  and  other  benefits  amounting  $12.3  million.  All  notified  employees  have  exited  and  an  insignificant  amount  remained 
accrued as of December 31, 2022.

Borrowings and Repayments under the Amended Credit Agreement 

During 2022, the Company borrowed $500.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. These proceeds were used to prepay 
$500.0  million  of  borrowings  under  the  Term  Loan  “B”  Facility.  The  Company  expensed  $7.3  million  of  unamortized  debt 
discount and issuance costs attributed to the partial pay-down as loss on debt refinancing and prepayment. As of December 31, 
2022, the Company had approximately $1.5 billion available under the Revolving Credit Facility for future borrowings. 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $700.0 million under the Revolving 
Credit Facility using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 0% Notes and cash generated from operations. 

Adoption of ASU 2020-06 

As described in Note 4: ‘‘Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Other Developments,’’ during 2022, the Company adopted 
ASU  2020-06  using  a  modified  retrospective  method  and  increased  long-term  debt  by  eliminating  debt  discount  of 
$135.7 million, reduced additional paid-in capital by $129.1 million and increased opening retained earnings by $27.1 million to 
reflect the cumulative effect of adoption as of January 1, 2022. The application of the if-converted method to determine the net 
income  for  diluted  earnings  and  diluted  weighted-average  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding  did  not  have  a  meaningful 
impact on the diluted net income per share of common stock under the treasury stock method previously applied. 

0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 

On May 19, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $805.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0% Notes, the 
proceeds of which were used to repurchase a portion of the 1.625% Notes in privately negotiated note repurchase or exchange 
transactions, repay a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, pay the net cost of the related convertible note hedges after such 
costs  were  offset  by  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  warrants,  and  general  corporate  purposes.  The  0%  Notes  were  offered  to 
qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and were issued under an indenture (the 
“0%  Indenture”)  by  and  among  the  Company,  the  guarantors  party  thereto,  and  Wells  Fargo  Bank,  National  Association,  as 
trustee,  which  provides,  among  other  things,  that  the  0%  Notes  will  mature  on  May  1,  2027,  unless  earlier  repurchased  or 
redeemed by the Company or converted pursuant to their terms. On or after February 1, 2027, until the close of business on the 
second scheduled trading day immediately  preceding May 1, 2027, holders may convert their 0% Notes at any time. The 0% 
Notes  are  the  Company’s  senior  unsecured  obligations  and  are  fully  and  unconditionally  guaranteed,  on  a  joint  and  several 
basis, by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement. 
The Company may satisfy any conversion elections by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 0% Notes to be 
converted, and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of 
common  stock,  at  the  Company’s  election,  in  respect  of  the  remainder,  if  any,  of  its  conversion  obligation  in  excess  of  the 
aggregate principal amount of the 0% Notes to be converted. 

The initial conversion rate of the 0% Notes is 18.8796 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent 
to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.97 per share of common stock. The Company may redeem for cash all or any 
portion  of  the  0%  Notes,  at  the  Company’s  option,  on  or  after  May  1,  2024,  if  the  last  reported  sale  price  of  the  Company’s 
common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any consecutive 
30 trading-day period. Prior to February 1, 2027, the holders may convert their 0% Notes under the following circumstances: 
(i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar 
quarter),  if  the  last  reported  sale  price  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  for  at  least  20  trading  days  during  the  period  of  30 
consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 
130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five consecutive business-day period after any five 
consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 0% Notes for each trading day of 
such period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Company’s common stock and the conversion 
rate on each such trading day; (iii) if the Company calls any or all of the 0% Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close 
of  business  on  the  second  scheduled  trading  day  immediately  preceding  the  redemption  date;  or  (iv)  upon  the  occurrence  of 
specified corporate transactions described in the 0% Indenture. 

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment  upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the 0% Indenture. 
The  maximum  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  issuable  in  connection  with  the  conversion  is  21.7  million.  In  accordance 
with  the  accounting  guidance  on  embedded  conversion  features,  the  Company  valued  and  bifurcated  the  conversion  option, 
representing  the  debt  discount,  from  the  respective  host  debt  instrument  and  recorded  $139.9  million  to stockholders’  equity. 
The debt discount represented the borrowing rate for non-convertible debt as of the date of issuance with similar maturity. The 
Company  also  incurred  issuance  costs  of  $19.0  million,  of  which  $15.7  million  was  capitalized  as  debt  issuance  costs  and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

$3.3 million was allocated to the conversion option and recorded to stockholders’ equity. The debt discount and debt issuance 
costs  are  being  amortized  at  an  effective  interest  rate  of  3.2%  over  the  contractual  term  of  six  years  under  the  existing 
accounting  standard.  The  carrying  amount  of  the  equity  component,  unamortized  discount  and  issuance  costs,  and  the  net 
carrying amount of the liability component as of December 31, 2021 were $143.2 million, $140.2 million and $664.8 million, 
respectively. The interest cost relating to the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs recognized during the year ended 
December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $3.2 million and $15.3 million, respectively. The 0% Notes if-converted value exceeded its 
principal amount by $142.9 million as of December 31, 2022, calculated using the stock price on that date. 

In  addition,  the  Company  entered  into  convertible  note  hedge  transactions  with  respect  to  the  common  stock  with  the  initial 
purchasers of the 0% Notes or their affiliates (“Counterparties”). The convertible note hedges cover, subject to customary anti-
dilution adjustments, the number of shares of common stock that initially underlie the 0% Notes, and are expected to reduce the 
potential dilution to the common stock and/or offset potential cash payments in excess of the principal amount upon conversion. 
The  Company  paid  $160.3  million  in  cash  for  the  convertible  note  hedges  and recorded  them  as a reduction  to stockholders’ 
equity. The Company applied ASC 815-40 - “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and concluded that 
the convertible note hedges should be classified in stockholders’ equity with no subsequent remeasurement. 

The Company also entered into warrant transactions with the Counterparties, whereby the Company sold warrants to acquire, 
subject  to  anti-dilution  adjustments,  the  same  number  of  shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  covered  by  the  convertible 
note hedges at an initial strike price of $74.34 per share, which represents a 100% premium over the closing price of $37.17 per 
share  on  May  11,  2021.  The  maximum  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  issuable  in  connection  with  the  warrants  is 
30.4 million. The Company analyzed the transaction under ASC 815-40 - “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own 
Equity”  and  determined  that  the  instrument  met  the  criteria  for  classification  as  an  equity  transaction  with  no  subsequent 
remeasurement.  The  Company  received  $93.8  million  in  cash  for  the  sale  of  warrants,  which  was  recorded  as  an  increase  to 
stockholders’ equity. 

Amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement 

The Company entered into the Amended Credit Agreement in 2016 which provides for a $1.97 billion revolving credit facility 
(the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $2.4 billion term loan “B” facility (the “Term Loan “B” Facility”). Between 2016 and 
2021, the Company, the Guarantors (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement),  the several lenders party thereto and the 
Agent (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) entered into ten amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement. These 
amendments, among others, reduced the interest rates payable and increased the amounts that may be borrowed under the Term 
Loan “B” Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility and also amended certain financial covenants. 

Since 2016, the Company has amended the Amended Credit Agreement to allow for the following items: 

(cid:129) On  November  16,  2022,  the  Company  entered  into  the  Tenth  Amendment  to  the  Amended  Credit  Agreement  to 
transition the interest rate base from the LIBO Rate to Term SOFR. The Company accounted for the amendment by 
applying the provisions of ASC 848 - “Reference Rate Reform.” 

(cid:129) On May 10, 2021, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement to permit the 

issuance of the 0% Notes and the repurchase or exchange of the 1.625% Notes 

(cid:129) On  June  23,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  the  Eighth  Amendment  to  the  Amended  Credit  Agreement  to  change 
certain defined terms and to modify certain terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement to align with the 
domestication of certain foreign subsidiaries. 

There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements due to the amendments noted above. 

The  obligations  under  the  Amended  Credit  Agreement  are  guaranteed  by  the  Guarantors  and  collateralized  by  a  pledge  of 
substantially  all  of  the  assets  of  the  Company  and  the  Guarantors,  including  a  pledge  of  the  equity  interests  in  certain  of  the 
Company’s  domestic  and  first  tier  foreign  subsidiaries,  subject  to  customary  exceptions.  The  obligations  under  the  Amended 
Credit  Agreement  are  also  collateralized  by  mortgage  on  certain  real  property  assets  of  the  Company  and  its  domestic 
subsidiaries. 

The Amended Credit Agreement includes a maximum total net leverage ratio as a financial maintenance covenant, which the 
Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2022. It also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants 
and events of default.

Partial repurchase or exchange of the 1.625% Notes/Loss on debt refinancing and prepayment 

On  May  11,  2021,  contemporaneously  with  the  issuance  of  the  0%  Notes,  the  Company  entered  into  separate  privately 
negotiated  transactions  with  certain  holders  of  the  1.625%  Notes  to  repurchase  or  exchange,  as  applicable,  $372.4  million  in 
aggregate principal amount of the 1.625% Notes for a total consideration of $506.5 million in cash and 5.4 million shares of the 
Company’s common stock. The repurchases and exchanges resulted in a loss on debt prepayment of $26.2 million based on the 
fair value of the debt component, while the remainder of the consideration amounting to $141.6 million attributable to the equity 
component  was  recorded  to  stockholders’  equity.  Separately,  the  Company  received  9.1  million  shares  into  treasury  by 
terminating  a  portion  of  the  convertible  note  hedge  transactions  that  were  originally  entered  at  the  time  of  issuance  of  the 
1.625% Notes in a notional amount corresponding to the principal amount of the 1.625% Notes repurchased or exchanged and 
recorded  $339.0  million  to  additional  paid-in  capital  and  treasury  stock,  with  no  overall  impact  to  equity.  Additionally,  the 
Company terminated  a portion of the warrant transactions  originally  entered at the time of issuance of the 1.625% Notes and 
issued  6.8  million  shares  with  respect  to  a  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  equal  to  the  notional  shares  underlying  such 
1.625% Notes repurchased or exchanged. 

On  December  14,  2021,  the  Company  repurchased  $47.4  million  in  principal  of  1.625%  Notes  for  total  consideration  of 
$47.4  million  in  cash  and  1.6  million  shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock.  This  transaction  resulted  in  a  loss  on  debt 
prepayment of $2.8 million based on the fair value of the debt component, while the remainder of the consideration amounting 
to  $0.8  million  attributable  to  the  equity  component  was  recorded  to  stockholders’  equity.  Separately,  the  Company  received 
1.6 million shares into treasury by terminating a portion of the convertible note hedge transactions that were originally entered 
at the time of issuance of the 1.625% Notes in a notional amount corresponding to the principal amount of the 1.625% Notes 
redeemed  and  recorded  $102.2  million  to  additional  paid-in  capital  and  treasury  stock,  with  no  overall  impact  to  equity. 
Additionally,  the  Company  terminated  a  portion  of  the  warrant  transactions  originally  entered  at  the  time  of  issuance  of  the 
1.625% Notes and issued 1.3 million shares with respect to a number of shares of common stock equal to the notional shares 
underlying such 1.625% Notes redeemed. 

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2022,  we  entered  into  separate  privately  negotiated  transactions  with  certain  holders  of  the  1.625% 
Notes  to  repurchase  or  exchange,  as  applicable,  $16.0  million  in  aggregate  principal  amount  of  the  1.625%  Notes  for  a  total 
consideration of $16 million in cash and 552,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. 

The  remaining  outstanding  principal  amount  of  the  1.625%  Notes,  amounting  to  $137.3 million,  net  of  unamortized  issuance 
costs,  continued  to  be  classified  as  a  current  portion  of  long-term  debt  as  of  December  31,  2022.  Pursuant  to  the  indenture 
governing the 1.625% Notes, because the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days 
during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on December 31, 2022 was greater than or equal to $26.94 (130% of the 
conversion price) on each applicable trading day, the holders have the right to surrender any portion of their 1.625% Notes (in 
minimum  denominations  of  $1,000  in  principal  amount  or  an  integral  multiple  thereof)  for  conversion  during  the  calendar 
quarter ending March 31, 2023, and only during such calendar quarter. 

The  carrying  amount  of  the  equity  component,  unamortized  discount  and  issuance  costs,  and  the  net  carrying  amount  of  the 
liability component as of December 31, 2022 were $27.6 million, $0.3 million and $137.0 million, respectively. The carrying 
amount  of  the  equity  component,  unamortized  discount  and  issuance  costs,  and  the  net  carrying  amount  of  the  liability 
component as of December 31, 2021 were $31.2 million, $10.5 million and $144.6 million, respectively. Total interest expense 
relating  to  the  coupon  rate  and  amortization  of  debt  discount  and  issuance  costs  recognized  during  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $3.0 million, $19.6 million and $28.7 million, respectively. 

The  conversion  rate  of  the  1.625%  Notes  is  48.2567  shares  of  common  stock  per  $1,000  principal  amount  of  1.625%  Notes 
(subject  to  adjustment  in  certain  events),  which  is  equivalent  to  a  conversion  price  of  approximately  $20.72  per  share  of 
common  stock.  The  unamortized  discount  and  issuance  costs  are  amortized  at  an  effective  interest  rate  of  5.27%  over  the 
remaining  contractual  term  of  approximately  two  years  under  the  existing  accounting  standard.  The  convertible  note  hedge 
transactions and warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the 1.625% Notes were originally classified in stockholders’ 
equity  with  no  subsequent  remeasurement  using  the  guidance  in  ASC  815-40—“Derivatives  and  Hedging—Contracts  in 
Entity’s  Own  Equity.”  The  1.625%  Notes  if-converted  value  exceeded  its  principal  amount  by  $276.0  million  as  of 
December 31, 2022, calculated using the stock price on that date. 

Issuance of 3.875% Notes 

On August 21, 2020, the Company completed its private offering of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.875% 
Notes. The 3.875% Notes were offered in the United States to qualified institutional  buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the 
Securities Act and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 3.875% Notes are fully and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that is a borrower or Guarantor 
under  the  Amended  Credit  Agreement  and  will  also  be  fully  and  unconditionally  guaranteed  by  any  of  the  Company’s 
subsidiaries that becomes a borrower or guarantees any indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement in the future. 

The  3.875%  Notes  and  the  guarantees  thereof  are  the  Company’s  and  the  Guarantors’  general  unsecured  obligations, 
respectively, and (i) rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior 
indebtedness  (including  the  1.625%  Notes);  (ii)  rank  senior  to  any  subordinated  indebtedness  that  the  Company  or  the 
Guarantors may incur; (iii) are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s or the Guarantors’ existing and future secured 
indebtedness  (including  indebtedness  under  the  Amended  Credit  Agreement),  in  each  case,  to  the  extent  of  the  value  of  the 
assets  securing  such  indebtedness;  and  (iv)  are  structurally  subordinated  in  right  of  payment  to  all  existing  and  future 
obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not Guarantors of the 3.875% Notes. 

The 3.875% Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per year, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, 
beginning on March 1, 2021, and will mature on September 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company. 
The  original  issue  discount  and  debt  issuance  costs  incurred  by  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  offering  of  the  3.875% 
Notes amounted to $9.4 million, which has been capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date 
of September 1, 2028. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.875% Notes were used entirely to repay borrowings under 
the Revolving Credit Facility.

Basic  income  per  share  of  common  stock  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  attributable  to  the  Company  by  the  weighted 
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. To calculate the diluted weighted-average shares of 
common  stock  outstanding,  treasury  stock  method  has  been  applied  to  calculate  the  number  of  incremental  shares  from  the 
assumed  issuance  of  shares  relating  to  RSUs.  The  excluded  number  of  anti-dilutive  share-based  awards  was  approximately 
0.3 million, 0.3 million and 0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

The dilutive impact related to the Company’s 0% Notes and 1.625% Notes has been calculated using the if-converted method 
for the year ended December 31, 2022 and using the treasury stock method for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. 
While the 0% Notes are repayable in cash up to the par value and in cash or shares of common stock for their entire value, the 
1.625% Notes are repayable in cash or shares of common stock for their entire value. The dilutive impact for the 1.00% Notes 
has been calculated using the treasury stock method until its maturity and repayment on December 1, 2020. 

Prior to conversion, the convertible note hedges are not considered for purposes of the earnings per share calculations, as their 
effect would be anti-dilutive. Upon conversion, the convertible note hedges are expected to offset the dilutive effect of the 0% 
Notes and 1.625% Notes when the stock price is above $52.97 and $20.72 per share, respectively. The dilutive impact of the

warrants issued concurrently with the issuance of the 0% Notes, 1.625% Notes and 1.00% Notes with exercise prices of $74.34, 
$30.70 and $25.96, respectively, has been included in the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding, 
if applicable. All of the warrants issued in connection with the 1.00% Notes were settled during 2021. 

Equity 

Share Repurchase Program 

Under  the  Company’s  share  repurchase  program  announced  on  November  15,  2018  (the  “Share  Repurchase  Program”),  the 
Company could repurchase up to $1.5 billion (exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses) of the Company’s common 
stock from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022. The repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program amounted to 
$259.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2021 
and $65.3 million repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Share Repurchase Program, which did not require 
the Company to purchase any particular amount of common stock and was subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, 
expired on December 31, 2022, with approximately $1,036.0 million remaining unutilized. 

In February  2023, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”) 
under  which  the  Company  may  repurchase  up  to  an  aggregate  of  $3.0  billion  of the  Company’s  common  stock  (exclusive  of 
fees,  commissions  and  other  expenses).  Under  the  2023  Share  Repurchase  Program,  which  does  not  require  the  Company  to 
purchase  any  minimum  amount  of  common  stock,  the  Company  may  repurchase  shares  from  February  8,  2023  through 
December 31, 2025.

Reissuance of shares held in treasury stock 

In connection with the maturity of the 1.00% Notes on December 1, 2020, the Company reissued shares of common stock held 
in treasury to settle the excess over the principal amount. This was the first time the Company reissued shares held in treasury 
stock  and  accounted  for  such  reissuance  on  a  first-in,  first-out  basis.  Pursuant  to  the  hedge  transactions  entered  concurrently 
with  the  issuance  of  the  1.00%  Notes,  the  Company  acquired  an  equivalent  number  of  shares  of  its  common  stock  at  the 
prevailing  fair  market  value,  to  effectively  offset  the  reissuance  from  treasury  stock.  This  repurchase  did  not  reduce  the 
authorized amount remaining under the Share Repurchase Program. 

Shares for Restricted Stock Units Tax Withholding 

The amounts remitted during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $78.1 million, $38.9 million and $20.0 
million, respectively, for which the Company withheld approximately 1.3 million, 0.9 million and 1.1 million shares of common 
stock, respectively,  that were underlying the RSUs that vested. This activity in connection with tax withholding upon vesting 
were not made under the Share Repurchase Program.

Non-Controlling Interest 

Leshan operates assembly and test operations in Leshan, China. The Company owns 80% of the outstanding equity interests in 
Leshan, and the results  of Leshan have been consolidated  in the Company’s financial  statements.  At December 31, 2022, the 
Leshan  non-controlling  interest  balance  was  $18.5  million.  This  balance  included  the  Leshan  non-controlling  interest’s 
$1.6  million  share  of  the  earnings  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  offset  by  $2.1  million  of  dividend  declared  to  the 
non-controlling  shareholder.  At  December  31,  2021,  the  Leshan  non-controlling  interest  balance  was  $19.0  million.  This 
balance included the Leshan non-controlling interest’s $1.6 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2021 
offset by $2.2 million of dividends paid to the non-controlling shareholder. 

ON  Semiconductor  Aizu  Co.  Ltd.  (“OSA”)  operates  a  front-end  wafer  fabrication  facility  in  Aizuwakamatsu,  Japan.  During 
2020, the Company acquired the remaining equity interest in OSA from Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited (“FSL”), whereby OSA 
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price payable to FSL for the remaining 40% equity, offset by 
the purchase price adjustment, resulted in the Company receiving $26.0 million in settlement of the purchase price from FSL 
during the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of OSA have been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. 

Stockholders’ Rights Plan 

On June 7, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a 
“Right”)  for  each  outstanding  share  of  common  stock  to  the  stockholders  of  record  on  June  18,  2020.  The  Rights,  which 
continued to have a de minimis value from the time they were issued, expired on June 7, 2021.

At December 31, 2022, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested 
RSUs  with  service,  performance  and  market  conditions  was  $100.7  million,  which  is  expected  to  be  recognized  over  a 
weighted-average period of 1.3 years. Upon vesting of RSUs, stock grant awards or completion of a purchase under the ESPP, 
the Company issues new shares of common stock. 

Share-Based Compensation Information 

The fair value per unit of each RSU and stock grant award is determined on the grant date. Share-based compensation expense 
is  based  on  awards  ultimately  expected  to  vest.  Forfeitures  are  estimated  at  the  time  of  grant  and  revised,  if  necessary,  in 
subsequent  periods  if  actual  forfeitures  differ  from  those  estimates.  The  annualized  pre-vesting  forfeitures  for  RSUs  were 
estimated to be approximately 8% for the year ended December 31, 2022, 6% for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 5% for 
the year ended December 31, 2020. 

Plan and Award Descriptions 

On March 23, 2010, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated SIP which has been subsequently amended over the years 
primarily to increase the number of shares of common stock subject to all awards. Generally, RSUs granted under the Amended 
and Restated SIP vest ratably over three years for awards with service conditions and over two or three years for awards with 
performance  or  market  conditions,  or  a  combination  thereof,  and  are  settled  in  shares  of  the  Company’s  common 

81

stock  upon  vesting.  Generally,  upon  the  termination  of  an  RSU  holder’s  employment,  all  unvested  RSUs  will  immediately 
cancel, except under circumstances where the service condition has been fulfilled. 

On May 20, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved certain amendments to the Amended and Restated SIP to extend the 
expiration date from 2022 to 2031 and to increase the number of shares of common stock subject to all awards by 22.5 million 
to 109.5 million. As of December 31, 2022, there was an aggregate of 40.1 million shares of common stock available for grant 
under the Amended and Restated SIP. 

Restricted Stock Units 

A summary of activity of RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2022 is as follows (number of shares in millions):

During 2022, in addition to RSUs that vest upon satisfaction of service conditions, the Company awarded 0.7 million RSUs to 
certain  officers  and  employees  of  the  Company  that  vest  upon  the  achievement  of  certain  performance  criteria  and  market 
conditions. The number of units expected to vest is evaluated each reporting period and compensation expense is recognized for 
those  units  for  which  achievement  of  the  performance  criteria  is  considered  probable.  Compensation  expense  for  RSUs  with 
market  conditions  is  recognized  based  on  the  grant  date  fair  value  irrespective  of  the  achievement  of  the  condition.  The  fair 
value of the vested awards are based on the stock price as of the vesting dates, during the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 
and 2020 totaled $232.8 million, $123.5 million and $62.4 million. 

As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures related to non-vested RSUs granted 
under the Amended and Restated SIP with service, performance and market conditions, was $69.0 million, $11.2 million and 
$20.5 million, respectively. For RSUs with time-based service conditions, expense is being recognized over the vesting period; 
for  RSUs  with  performance  criteria,  expense  is  recognized  over  the  period  when  the  performance  criteria  is  expected  to  be 
achieved;  for  RSUs  with  market  conditions,  expense  is  recognized  over  the  period  in  which  the  condition  is  assessed 
irrespective  of  whether  it  would  be  achieved  or  not.  Unrecognized  compensation  cost  for  awards  with  certain  performance 
criteria  that  are  not  expected  to  be  achieved  is  not  included  here.  Total  compensation  expense  related  to  service-based, 
performance-based  and  market-based  RSUs  was  $93.7  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  which  included 
$50.4 million for RSUs with time-based service conditions that were granted in 2022 and prior that are expected to vest. 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan 

On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the ESPP. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 employees 
purchased approximately 0.5 million, 0.7 million and 1.8 million shares, respectively, under the ESPP. On May 20, 2021, the 
stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP, which increased the number of shares available to be issued pursuant to the 
ESPP  by  6.0  million  to  34.5  million.  As  of  December  31,  2022,  there  were  approximately  7.7  million  shares  available  for 
issuance  under  the  ESPP.  Total  compensation  expense  related  to  the  ESPP  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  was 
$7.1 million. 

Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans 

Defined Benefit Pension Plans 

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans for employees of certain of its foreign subsidiaries. Such plans conform 
to local practice  in terms  of providing minimum  benefits  mandated  by law, collective  agreements or customary practice. The 
Company recognizes the aggregate amount of all overfunded plans as assets and the aggregate amount of all underfunded plans 
as liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is updated at 
least  annually,  taking  into  consideration  its  asset  allocation,  historical  returns  on  similar  types  of  assets  and  the  current 

82 

 
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

economic environment. For estimation purposes, the Company assumes its long-term asset mix will generally be consistent with 
the  current  mix.  The  Company  determines  its  discount  rates  using  highly  rated  corporate  bond  yields  and  government  bond 
yields. 

Benefits under all of the plans are valued utilizing the projected unit credit cost method. The Company’s policy is to fund its 
defined  benefit  plans  in  accordance  with  local  requirements  and  regulations.  The  funding  is  primarily  driven  by  the  current 
assessment  of  the  economic  environment  and  projected  benefit  payments  of  foreign  subsidiaries.  The  measurement  date  for 
determining the defined benefit obligations for all plans is December 31 of each year. 

The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses during the period the Company’s annual pension plan actuarial valuations 
are  prepared,  which  generally  occurs  during  the  fourth  calendar  quarter  of  each  year,  or  during  any  interim  period  where  a 
revaluation is deemed necessary. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized an actuarial gain 
of $22.1 million and $21.4 million, respectively. The Company recognized an actuarial loss of $4.0 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2020. Of the actuarial gain for 2022, $38.3 million was primarily due to an increase in the discount rates reduced 
by $16.2 million due to lower than expected returns on plan assets.

Plan Assets 

The Company’s overall investment strategy is to focus on stable and low credit risk investments aimed at providing a positive 
rate  of  return  to  the  plan  assets.  The  Company  has  an  investment  mix  with  a  wide  diversification  of  asset  types  and  fund 
strategies that are aligned with each region and foreign location’s economy and market conditions. Investments in government 
securities are generally guaranteed by the respective government offering the securities. Investments in corporate bonds, equity 
securities, and foreign mutual funds are made with the expectation that these investments will give an adequate rate of long-term 
returns despite periods of high volatility. Other types of investments include investments in cash deposits, money market funds 
and insurance contracts. Asset allocations are based on the anticipated required funding amounts, timing of benefit payments, 
historical returns on similar assets and the influence of the current economic environment. 

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, a summary of investments measured at fair value and the 
asset allocations of the plan assets in the Company’s foreign pension plans (in millions):

Environmental Contingencies 

The Company’s current headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona are located on property that is a “Superfund” site, which is a property 
listed  on  the  National  Priorities  List  and  subject  to  clean-up  activities  under  the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response, 
Compensation,  and  Liability  Act  (“CERCLA”).  Motorola  and  Freescale  (acquired  by  NXP  Semiconductors  N.V.)  have  been 
involved in the clean-up activities of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater 
pursuant  to  consent  decrees  with  the  State  of  Arizona.  The  Company  has  sold  its  current  headquarters  location  and  is 
anticipating a move to a new headquarters location (in the greater Phoenix area) in the first quarter of 2023. The Company was 
previously indemnified with respect to certain remediation or other costs or liabilities connected to the location of the current 
headquarters,  and,  as  part  of  the  sale,  all  of  the  Company’s  liabilities  associated  with  the  clean-up  activities  of  the  current 
headquarters site and any remediation were transferred to the buyer. Any costs to the Company in connection with this matter 
have not been material. 

Though  the  Company  has  encountered  and  dealt  with  a  number  of  environmental  issues  over  time  relating  to  the  various 
locations that comprise its operations, any costs to the Company in connection with such matters have not been, and, based on 
the information available, are not expected to be material. 

The following presents a summary of such environmental contingencies: 

(cid:129) East Greenwich, Rhode Island. The Company’s design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island is located on property 
that  has  localized  soil  contamination.  In  connection  with  the  purchase  of  the  facility,  the  Company  entered  into  a 
Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not to Sue with the State of Rhode Island. This agreement requires that remedial 
actions  be  undertaken  and  a  quarterly  groundwater  monitoring  program  be  initiated  by  the  former  owners  of  the 
property. 

(cid:129)

(cid:129)

Santa Clara, California. As a result of the acquisition of AMIS in 2008, the Company is a “primary responsible party” 
to  an  environmental  remediation  and  clean-up  plan  at  AMIS’s  former  corporate  headquarters  in  Santa  Clara, 
California.  Costs  incurred  by  AMIS  include  implementation  of  the  clean-up  plan,  operations  and  maintenance  of 
remediation systems, and other project management costs. However, AMIS’s former parent company, a subsidiary of 
Nippon  Mining,  contractually  agreed  to  indemnify  AMIS  and  the  Company  for  any  obligations  relating  to 
environmental  remediation  and  clean-up  activities  at  this  location.  This  facility  was  divested  to  Lincoln  Property 
Company Commercial, Inc. in 2022. 

South  Portland,  Maine.  Through  its  acquisition  of  Fairchild,  the  Company  acquired  a  facility  in  South  Portland, 
Maine.  This  facility  was  divested  to  Diodes,  Inc.  in  2022.  This  facility  has  ongoing  environmental  remediation 
projects to respond to certain releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to the leveraged recapitalization of 
Fairchild from its former parent company, National Semiconductor Corporation, which is now owned by TI. To the 
extent  the  Company  could  still  incur  liabilities  with  respect  to  these  remediation  projects,  pursuant  to  a  1997  asset 
purchase  agreement  entered  into  in  connection  with  the  Fairchild  recapitalization,  National  Semiconductor 
Corporation agreed to indemnify Fairchild, without limitation and for an indefinite period of time, for all future costs 
related to these projects. 

(cid:129) Bucheon,  South  Korea.  Under  a  1999  asset  purchase  agreement  pursuant  to  which  Fairchild  purchased  the  power 
device  business  of  Samsung,  Samsung  agreed  to  indemnify  Fairchild  in  an  amount  up  to  $150.0  million  for 
remediation  costs  and  other  liabilities  related  to  historical  contamination  at  Samsung’s  Bucheon,  South  Korea 
operations. 

(cid:129) Mountain  Top,  Pennsylvania.  Under  a  2001  asset  purchase  agreement  pursuant  to  which  Fairchild  purchased  a 
manufacturing facility in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, Intersil Corp. (subsequently acquired by Renesas Electronics 

87 

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

Corporation)  agreed  to  indemnify  Fairchild  for  remediation  costs  and  other  liabilities  related  to  historical 
contamination at the facility. 

(cid:129) Hartford, Illinois. The Company was notified by the EPA that it has been identified as a PRP under CERCLA in the 
Chemetco Superfund matter. Chemetco, a defunct reclamation services supplier that operated in Hartford, Illinois at 
what is now a Superfund site, has performed reclamation services for the Company in the past. The EPA is pursuing 
Chemetco customers for contribution to the site clean-up activities. The Company has joined a PRP group, which is 
cooperating with the EPA in the evaluation and funding of the clean-up activities. 

Financing Contingencies 

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Company  provides  standby  letters  of  credit  or  other  guarantee  instruments  to  certain 
parties  initiated  by  either  the  Company  or  its  subsidiaries,  as  required  for  transactions,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  material 
purchase commitments, agreements to mitigate collection risk, leases, utilities or customs guarantees. As of December 31, 2022, 
the  Company’s  Revolving  Credit  Facility  included  $15.0  million  available  for  the  issuance  of  letters  of  credit.  There  were 
$0.9  million  letters  of  credit  outstanding  under  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  as  of  December  31,  2022,  which  reduced  the 
Company’s  borrowing  capacity.  The  Company  also  had  outstanding  guarantees  and  letters  of  credit  outside  of  its  Revolving 
Credit Facility totaling $16.2 million as of December 31, 2022. 

As  part  of  obtaining  financing  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Company  issued  guarantees  related  to  certain  of  its 
subsidiaries,  which  totaled  $0.9  million  as  of  December  31,  2022.  Based  on  historical  experience  and  information  currently 
available, the Company believes that it will not be required to make payments under the standby letters of credit or guarantee 
arrangements for the foreseeable future. 

Indemnification Contingencies 

The  Company  is  a  party  to  a  variety  of  agreements  entered  into  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  including  acquisition 
agreements, pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other parties for certain liabilities that arise out of or relate 
to the subject matter of the agreements. Some of the agreements entered into by the Company require it to indemnify the other 
party against losses due to IP infringement, property damage (including environmental contamination), personal injury, failure 
to comply with applicable  laws, the Company’s negligence  or willful  misconduct or breach of representations  and warranties 
and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets. In the case of certain acquisition agreements, these agreements may 
require us to maintain such indemnification provisions for the acquiree’s directors, officers and other employees and agents, in 
certain cases for a number of years following the acquisition. 

The  Company  faces  risk  of  exposure  to  warranty  and  product  liability  claims  in  the  event  that  its  products  fail  to  perform  as 
expected or such failure of its products results, or is alleged to result, in economic damage, bodily injury or property damage. In 
addition, if any of the Company’s designed products are alleged to be defective, the Company may be required to participate in 
their  recall.  Depending  on  the  significance  of  any  particular  customer  and  other  relevant  factors,  the  Company  may  agree  to 
provide more favorable rights to such customer for valid defective product claims. 

The Company and its subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited 
liability company operating agreements, certificates  of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational 
documents, as the case may be. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) authorizes a court to award, 
or  a  corporation’s  board  of  directors  to  grant,  indemnity  to  directors  and  officers  under  certain  circumstances  and  subject  to 
certain  limitations.  The  terms  of  Section  145  of  the  DGCL  are  sufficiently  broad  to  permit  indemnification  under  certain 
circumstances  for liabilities,  including reimbursement  of expenses incurred, arising under the Exchange Act. As permitted by 
the DGCL, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) 
contains  provisions  relating  to  the  limitation  of  liability  and  indemnification  of  directors  and  officers.  The  Certificate  of 
Incorporation  eliminates  the  personal  liability  of  each  of  the  Company’s  directors  to  the  fullest  extent  permitted  by 
Section  102(b)(7)  of  the  DGCL,  as  it  may  be  amended  or  supplemented,  and  provides  that  the  Company  will  indemnify  its 
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time. 

The  Company  has  entered  into  indemnification  agreements  with  each  of  its  directors  and  executive  officers.  The  form  of 
agreement  (the  “Indemnification  Agreement”)  provides,  subject  to  certain  exceptions  and  conditions  specified  in  the 
Indemnification Agreement, that the Company will indemnify each indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law 
against  all  expenses,  judgments,  fines  and  amounts  paid  in  settlement  actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by  such  person  in 
connection with a proceeding or claim in which such person is involved because of his or her status as one of the Company’s 
directors  or  executive  officers.  In  addition,  the  Indemnification  Agreement  provides  that  the  Company  will,  to  the  extent  not 

88 

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

prohibited  by  law  and  subject  to  certain  exceptions  and  repayment  conditions,  advance  specified  indemnifiable  expenses 
incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such proceeding or claim. 

The Company also maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various 
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Exchange Act, which might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her 
capacity as such. 

While the Company’s future obligations under certain agreements may contain limitations on liability for indemnification, other 
agreements  do  not  contain  such  limitations  and  under  such  agreements  it  is  not  possible  to  predict  the  maximum  potential 
amount of future payments due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances 
involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under any of these indemnities have not 
had  a  material  effect  on  the  Company’s  business,  financial  condition,  results  of  operations  or  cash  flows.  Additionally,  the 
Company does not believe that any amounts that it may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material 
to the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 

Government Assistance 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received government assistance from U.S. federal and state governments 
and non-U.S. governments in the form of cash grants and tax abatements which in most cases, attached conditions for a specific 
duration period, generally related to hiring, training and/or retaining employees, the construction or acquisition of assets or to 
develop specific technologies. If conditions are not satisfied or the duration period for the agreement is infringed, the incentives 
are subject to reduction, termination, or recapture. 

The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize a benefit to the income statement over the duration of the program when the 
conditions,  including  the  required  spending,  attached  to  the  incentive  are achieved  and the Company is expected  to complete 
any further requirements. A grant that compensates for operational expenses are recognized as a reduction from the nature of the 
expense  the  grant  is  designated  to  offset.  A  grant  related  to  property,  plant  and  equipment  investments  is  recognized  as  a 
reduction to the cost-basis of the underlying assets with an ongoing reduction to depreciation expenses based on the useful lives 
of the related assets. 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received a nominal amount related to these programs. To the extent 
amounts  have  been  received  by  the  Company  in  advance  of  the  completion  of  the  conditions,  they  have  been  recorded  as  a 
liability. The duration of the agreements for the incentives received by the Company in 2022 ranges from one to five years, with 
a recapture period that can extend up to five years. 

Legal Matters 

From  time  to  time,  the  Company  is  party  to  various  legal  proceedings  arising  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  including 
indemnification claims, claims of alleged infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other IP rights, claims of alleged 
non-compliance  with  contract  provisions  and  claims  related  to  alleged  violations  of  laws  and  regulations.  The  Company 
evaluates the status of the legal proceedings in which it is involved to assess whether a loss is reasonably estimable and either 
remote, reasonably possible or probable of occurring. The Company further evaluates each legal proceeding to assess whether 
an  estimate  of  possible  loss  or  range  of  possible  loss  can  be  made  for  disclosure  purposes.  Although  litigation  is  inherently 
unpredictable, the Company believes that it has adequate provisions for any probable and reasonably estimable losses. However, 
the Company’s estimates may not represent its maximum possible exposure in any particular legal proceeding. Legal expenses 
related to defense, negotiations, settlements, rulings and advice of outside legal counsel are expensed as incurred. 

The  Company  is  currently  involved  in  a  variety  of  legal  matters  that  arise  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  Based  on 
information currently available, except as disclosed below (if any), the Company is not involved in any pending or threatened 
legal  proceedings  that  it  believes  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  its  financial  condition, 
results  of  operations  or  liquidity.  The  litigation  process  is  inherently  uncertain,  and  the  Company  cannot  guarantee  that  the 
outcome of any litigation matter will be favorable to the Company. 

Intellectual Property Matters 

The Company faces risk of exposure from claims of infringement of the IP rights of others. In the ordinary course of business, 
the Company receives letters asserting that the Company’s products or components breach another party’s rights. Such letters 
may request royalty payments from the Company, that the Company cease and desist using certain IP or other remedies.

Note 14: Fair Value Measurements 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  began  investing  portions  of  its  excess  cash  in  different  marketable 
securities, which are classified as available-for-sale. 

The Company uses the following fair value tier level hierarchy to determine fair values of its financial instruments: 

(cid:129) Level 1: based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets 
(cid:129) Level  2:  based  on  inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  in  Level  1  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or  liability 

either directly or indirectly. 

(cid:129) Level 3: based on the use of unobservable inputs for the assets and liabilities and other types of analyses. 

The  carrying  value  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  which  includes  time  deposits,  money  market  funds,  corporate  bonds  and 
commercial paper approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Demand and time deposits 
and money market funds are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy, while corporate bonds and commercial paper 
are classified as Level 2. The carrying amount of other current assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts 
payable  approximates  fair  value  due  to  the  short-term  maturity  of  the  amounts  and  are  considered  Level  2  in  the  fair  value 
hierarchy.

The fair value of the 0% Notes (as of December 31, 2021), 3.875% Notes and 1.625% Notes were estimated based on market 
prices  in  active  markets  (Level  1).  The  fair  value  of  other  long-term  debt  was  estimated  based  on  discounting  the  remaining 
principal and interest payments using current market rates for similar debt (Level 2) at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 
2021. 

Fair Values Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis 

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at fair 
value upon a business combination and are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The Company 
uses unobservable inputs to the valuation methodologies that are significant to the fair value measurements, and the valuations 
require management’s judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices. The Company determines the fair value of its held 
and used assets, goodwill and intangible assets using an income, cost or market approach as determined reasonable. 

During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020,  there  were  no  non-financial  assets  included  in  the  Company’s 
Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  that  were  remeasured  at  fair  value  on  a  non-recurring  basis.  The  following  table  shows  the

As  a  multinational  business,  the  Company’s  transactions  are  denominated  in  a  variety  of  currencies.  When  appropriate,  the 
Company  uses  forward  foreign  currency  contracts  to  reduce  its  overall  exposure  to  the  effects  of  currency  fluctuations  on its 
results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s policy prohibits trading in currencies  for which there are no underlying 
exposures and entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure. The Company primarily 
hedges existing assets and liabilities associated with transactions currently on its balance sheet, which are undesignated hedges 
for accounting purposes. 

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  the  Company  had  outstanding  foreign  exchange  contracts  with  notional  amounts  of 
$272.0 million and $288.3 million, respectively. Such contracts were obtained through financial institutions and were scheduled 
to mature within one to three months from the time of purchase. Management believes that these financial instruments should 
not  subject  the  Company  to  increased  risks  from  foreign  exchange  movements  because  gains  and  losses  on  these  contracts 
should offset losses and gains on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions to which they are related.

Amounts receivable or payable under the contracts were not material as of December 31, 2022, and 2021 and are included in 
other current assets or accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the 
years  ended  December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020,  realized  and  unrealized  foreign  currency  transactions  totaled  a  loss  of 
$0.7 million, $0.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions are included 
in other income (expense) in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. 

Cash Flow Hedges 

Interest rate risk 

The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2022, 

92 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued 

the Company had interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts of $750.0 million, $500.0 million and $500.0 million for 
fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate swaps totaled $36.0 million as of December 31, 
2022, of which approximately $22.0 million was included in other current assets and approximately $14.0 million was included 
in  other  non-current  assets.  The  fair  value  of  interest  rate  swaps  totaled  $5.7  million  as  of  December  31,  2021,  which  was 
included in other non-current assets. The Company did not identify any ineffectiveness with respect to the notional amounts of 
interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. These derivatives are recognized on the balance 
sheet at their fair value and classified based on each instrument’s maturity dates. 

Other  than  the  interest  rate  swap  contracts,  the  Company  did  not  have  any  other  outstanding  derivatives  related  to  cash  flow 
hedges. 

See Note 17: ‘‘Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss’’ for the effective amounts related to derivative instruments 
designated as cash flow hedges affecting accumulated other comprehensive loss and the Consolidated Statements of Operations 
and Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2022. 

Convertible Note Hedges 

The Company entered into convertible note hedges in connection with the issuance of the 0% Notes and 1.625% Notes. 
See Note 9: ‘‘Long-Term Debt’’ for additional information. 

Other 

Other than as described above, at December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding commodity derivatives, currency swaps 
or options relating to either its debt instruments or investments. The Company does not hedge the value of its equity investments 
in its subsidiaries or affiliated companies. 

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if its hedge counterparties fail to perform their obligations. As of December 31, 
2022, the counterparties to the Company’s hedge contracts are held at financial institutions which the Company believes to be 
highly rated, and no credit related losses are anticipated.

(1)  On July 6, 2020, the Company completed a simplification of its corporate structure by repatriating the economic rights of 
its  non-U.S.  IP  to  the  United  States  via  domestication  of  certain  foreign  subsidiaries  (the  “Domestication”).  The 
Domestication more closely aligns the Company’s corporate structure with its operating structure in accordance with the 
OECD’s  BEPS  conclusions  and  changes  to  U.S.  and  European  tax  laws.  The  impact  of  the  Domestication,  which  is 
regarded  as  a  change  in  tax  status,  resulted  in  a  benefit  primarily  from  recognizing  certain  deferred  tax  assets,  net  of 
deferred tax liabilities, of $63.0 million, or 35.7%. 

(2)  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  this  included  a  benefit  of  $55.6  million,  or  2.4%  related  to  a  decrease  in  the 
valuation allowance for the expiration of Japan net operating losses (“NOLs”), partially netted with an offsetting expense 
of $54.3 million, or 2.3% related to the expiration of those same Japan NOLs. For the year ended December 31, 2021, this 
included a benefit of $26.3 million, or 2.2% related to a decrease in the valuation allowance for the expiration of Japan 
NOLs, partially netted with an offsetting expense of $22.6 million, or 1.9% related to the expiration of those same Japan 
NOLs.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  this  included  a  benefit  of  $49.4  million,  or  28.0%,  for  the  release  of  a 
partial  state  valuation  allowance  due  to  an  increase  to  forecasted  domestic  income  as  a  result  of  the  Domestication  of 
certain foreign subsidiaries and an expense of $61.8 million, or 35.0%, primarily related to the expiration of Japan NOLs, 
netted with the offsetting benefit of $61.8 million, or 35.0%, primarily for the decrease in the related valuation allowance 
for those same Japan NOLs. 

(3)  For the year ended December 31, 2021, this included an expense of $8.5 million, or 0.7%, related to an election to waive 

Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (“BEAT”) deductions for all U.S. federal tax purposes for the 2021 tax year.

The Company’s effective tax rate for 2022 was 19.4%, which differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21%, primarily 
due to the benefit received from Section 250 deduction related to FDII, partially offset by the impact of nondeductible goodwill. 

The Company’s effective tax rate for 2021 was 12.7%, which differs from the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21%, primarily 
due to the benefit received from Section 250 deduction related to FDII. 

The  Company’s  effective  tax  rate  for  2020  was  a  benefit  of  (33.8)%,  which  differs  from  the  U.S.  federal  income  tax  rate  of 
21%,  primarily  due  to  the  Domestication  of  certain  foreign  subsidiaries  and  a  partial  release  of  state  valuation  allowance, 
partially offset by foreign taxes for which the Company will not receive a U.S. tax credit as well as period costs related to the 
Company’s global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) inclusion.

We have investment tax credits, which are accounted for pursuant to ASC 740, in Korea and the Czech Republic. We use the deferral 
method  of  accounting  for  investment  tax  credits  under  which  the  credits  are  recognized  as  reductions  in  the  carrying  value  of  the 
related assets. Deferred tax related to differences in GAAP versus tax carrying value are recorded pursuant to the gross-up method. 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had approximately $50.4 million and $77.5 million, respectively, of U.S. federal 
NOL  carryforwards,  before  the  impact  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits.  The  decrease  is  due  to  current  year  utilization.  These  NOL 
carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely until utilized. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had approximately 
$2.1 million and $43.6 million, respectively, of U.S. federal credit carryforwards, before the impact of unrecognized tax benefits. The 
decrease is primarily due to current year utilization. The credits will expire in 2031 if unutilized. These NOL and credit carryforwards 
relate to acquisitions and, consequently, are limited in the amount that can be utilized in any one year. 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had approximately $324.6 million and $491.1 million, respectively, of U.S. state 
NOL carryforwards, before consideration of valuation allowance or the impact of unrecognized tax benefits. The decrease is due to 
current year utilization.  The U.S. state NOL carryforwards will expire in varying amounts from 2023 to 2040, if unutilized. As  of 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $123.5 million and $138.4 million, respectively, of U.S. state credit carryforwards 
before consideration of valuation allowance or the impact of unrecognized tax benefits. The U.S. state credits will expire in varying 
amounts beginning in 2023 while a substantial amount of the state credits carryforward indefinitely. 

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  the  Company  had  approximately  $268.3  million  and  $551.8  million,  respectively,  of 
foreign  NOL  carryforwards,  before  consideration  of  valuation  allowance.  The  decrease  is  primarily  due  to  the  expiration  of 
Japan NOLs. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $65.7 million and $69.2 million, respectively, of foreign 
credit  carryforwards  before  consideration  of  valuation  allowance  or  the  impact  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits.  A  significant 
portion of the foreign NOLs and credit carryforwards will expire in varying amounts from 2023 to 2025, if unutilized. 

The  Company  continues  to  maintain  a  valuation  allowance  of  $24.1 million  on a  portion  of  its  Japan  NOLs, which  expire  at 
various  dates through 2032. In addition to the valuation allowance on the Japan NOLs, the Company also maintains  a partial 
valuation allowance of $71.1 million on its U.S. state deferred tax assets, primarily NOLs and credits. The remaining valuation 
allowance primarily relates to NOLs and tax credits in certain other foreign jurisdictions that primarily expire in 2025.

At December 31, 2022, the Company was not indefinitely reinvested with respect to the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and 
has therefore accrued withholding taxes that would be owed upon future distributions of such earnings. 

The activity for unrecognized gross tax benefits is as follows (in millions): 

Balance at beginning of year 

Acquired balances 

Additions for tax benefits related to the current year 

Additions for tax benefits of prior years

Included  in  the  December  31,  2022  balance  of  $136.8  million  is  $90.4  million  related  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits  that,  if 
recognized,  would  affect  the  annual  effective  tax  rate.  Also  included  in  the  balance  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits  as  of 
December 31, 2022 is $46.4 million of benefit that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to other tax accounts, primarily 
deferred  taxes.  Although  the  Company  cannot  predict  the  timing  of  resolution  with  taxing  authorities,  if  any,  the  Company 
believes it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced by $68.3 million in the next 12 months due 
to settlement with tax authorities or expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. The Company 
recognized  approximately  $1.4  million  tax  expense  and  $3.3  million  of  net  tax  benefit  and  $0.2  million  of  tax  expense  for 
interest and penalties during the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had approximately 
$2.7  million,  $1.3  million,  and  $5.3  million  of  accrued  interest  and  penalties  at  December  31,  2022,  2021,  and  2020, 
respectively. 

The Company is currently under IRS examination for the 2017 and 2018 tax years. Tax years prior to 2017 are generally not 
subject to examination by the IRS. For state tax returns, the Company is generally not subject to income tax examinations for 
tax  years  prior  to  2018.  With  respect  to  jurisdictions  outside  the  United  States,  the  Company  is  generally  not  subject  to 
examination for tax years prior to 2012.
