“Our bookings momentum continued in the first quarter and our current bookings rate is at the highest level it has been during last two years," said Keith Jackson, President and CEO of ON Semiconductor. "Orders from the distribution channel increased by approximately 20 percent quarter-over-quarter and commentary from our customers has been increasingly positive. At the same time, improving operating performance and a richer product mix enabled us to deliver a strong expansion in our gross and operating margins in the first quarter.

"With our design win pipeline and a favorable global macro-economic environment, we should be able to sustain our current momentum in target growth areas of automobiles, smartphones and select segments of the industrial end-market. We remain confident that strong operating performance, coupled with our robust design win pipeline, should enable us to deliver strong results in 2014."

SECOND QUARTER 2014 OUTLOOK

“Based upon product booking trends, backlog levels and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total ON Semiconductor revenue will be approximately $738 to $768 million in the second quarter of 2014,” Jackson said. “Backlog level for the second quarter of 2014 represents approximately 80 to 85 percent of our anticipated second quarter 2014 revenue. Average selling prices for the second quarter of 2014 are expected to be down approximately one percent when compared to the first quarter of 2014. The outlook for the second quarter of 2014 includes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $11 to $14 million. Our guidance for the second quarter of 2014 includes contribution from our acquisition of Truesense Imaging, Inc., which closed on April 30, 2014.”

Regulation G and other provisions of the securities laws regulate the use of financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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.
