NXP Semiconductors N.V.
(NXPI) filed its 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F on April 10, 2018. The report details significant events and financial performance for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2017. A major highlight is the amended agreement with Qualcomm River Holdings B.V. to acquire NXP for $127.50a per share, an increase from the initial offer, with an expected closing in the first half of 2018, subject to regulatory approvals.
Financially, NXP reported revenue of $9.26 billionb, a slight decrease from $9.50 billion in 2016, primarily due to the divestment of its Standard Products (SP) business on February 6, 2017, which generated $2.6 billion in cash proceeds. The High Performance Mixed Signal (HPMS) segment saw revenue growth of 8.1% driven by automotive and secure connected devices.
Gross profit margin improved to 49.9% from 42.8% in the prior year, largely due to the absence of purchase accounting impacts on inventory from the Freescale acquisition. Net income attributable to stockholders was $2.215 billionc, a significant increase from $200 million in 2016.
