ON Semiconductor Corporation, a global supplier of power and data management semiconductors and standard semiconductor components, reported net income of $100.6 milliona for 2005 on revenues of $1,260.6 million, compared with a net loss of $123.7 million on revenues of $1,266.9 million in 2004.
The company stated this was its highest annual net income since its 1999 recapitalization, and it was profitable in all four quarters of 2005. Gross profit was $418.5 millionb, or 33.2% of revenues, up from 32.4% in 2004, which the company attributed to profitability enhancement programs and higher sales volume. Operating income rose to $167.6 million from $149.9 million, and interest expense fell to $61.5 million from $101.2 million.
The balance sheet remains highly leveraged. Long-term debt including current maturities was $1,067.0 millionc at December 31, 2005, against cash and cash equivalents of $233.3 million, and the company reported a stockholders' deficit of $300.3 million. Following the November 2005 conversion of TPG's preferred stock into common stock, Texas Pacific Group and its affiliates held approximately 52.9% of the total voting power as of February 10, 2006.
The company also issued $95.0 milliond of 1.875% convertible senior subordinated notes in December 2005 to repay its junior subordinated note, and reported operating cash flow of $193.1 million for 2005. Management's outlook anticipates first-quarter 2006 revenues of approximately $330.0 million and a gross profit of approximately 35%, with the company also noting the adoption of SFAS 123R beginning in 2006 and an estimated $2.0 million stock compensation expense in the first quarter. Ongoing risks include the cyclical semiconductor industry, customer concentration (ten largest customers at approximately 55% of 2005 revenues), a securities class action settlement pending court approval, and the Delphi Corporation Chapter 11 filing affecting automotive receivables.
