“We remained disciplined in our execution and met expectations in the fourth quarter as we saw increasing signs of stabilization in our key markets,” said Hassane El-Khoury, President and CEO, onsemi. “We continue to invest in intelligent power and sensing technologies that position us to win in the most critical technology transitions shaping our industry. Our strategy is clear: lead in automotive, industrial, and AI data center power with innovation that delivers higher-value solutions for our customers and long-term returns for our shareholders."
“In 2025, we generated $1.4 billion of free cash flow and returned 100% of our annual free cash flow to shareholders through share repurchases. With our major investment cycle behind us and new technologies ramping, we continue to strengthen our financial foundation. As we continue to drive meaningful improvements to our cost structure across the company, we are creating greater leverage in our operating model going forward,” said Thad Trent, EVP and CFO of onsemi. “Our focus remains on operational excellence and margin expansion, and we are well-positioned to benefit as market conditions improve.”
Q4 2025 Business Highlights:
- Announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program of up to $6 billion over the next three years.
- Introduced vertical gallium nitride (vGaN) power semiconductors, setting a new benchmark for power density, efficiency and ruggedness for these applications.
- Signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Innoscience to explore expanding production of gallium nitride (GaN) power devices using Innoscience’s proven 200mm GaN-on-silicon process.
- Established a new collaboration agreement with GlobalFoundries (GF) to develop and manufacture next-generation gallium nitride (GaN) power devices, beginning with 650V.
* Diluted shares outstanding can vary as a result of, among other things, the vesting of restricted stock units, the incremental dilutive shares from the Company's convertible notes, and the repurchase or the issuance of stock or convertible notes or the sale of treasury shares. In periods when the quarterly average stock price per share exceeds $52.97 for the 0% Notes, and $103.87 for the 0.50% Notes, the non-GAAP diluted share count and non-GAAP net income per share include the anti-dilutive impact of the Company’s hedge transactions entered concurrently with the 0% Notes and the 0.50% Notes, respectively. At an average stock price per share between $52.97 and $74.34 for the 0% Notes and $103.87 and $156.78 for the 0.50% Notes, the hedging activity offsets the potentially dilutive effect of the 0% Notes and 0.50% Notes, respectively. In periods when the quarterly average stock price exceeds $74.34 for the 0% Notes, and $156.78 for the 0.50% Notes, the dilutive impact of the warrants issued concurrently with such notes are included in the diluted shares outstanding. GAAP and non-GAAP diluted share counts are based on either the previous quarter's average stock price or the stock price as of the last day of the previous quarter, whichever is higher.
** Special items may include: amortization of intangibles; expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up; purchased in-process research and development expenses; restructuring, asset impairments and other, net; goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges; gains and losses on debt prepayment; non-cash interest expense; actuarial (gains) losses on pension plans and other pension benefits; and certain other special items, as necessary. These special items are out of our control and could change significantly from period to period. As a result, we are not able to reasonably estimate and separately present the individual impact or probable significance of these special items, and we are similarly unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures. The reconciliation that is unavailable would include a forward-looking income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows in accordance with GAAP. For this reason, we use a projected range of the aggregate amount of special items in order to calculate our projected non-GAAP operating expense outlook.
*** We believe these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to investors. We use these measures, together with GAAP measures, for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our releases, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names.
