OEMs Direct sales to OEMs accounted for approximately 38% of our revenues in 2016, 39% of our revenues in 2015 and 42% of our revenues in 2014. OEM customers include a variety of companies in the electronics industry such as Bosch GmbH, Continental Automotive Systems, Delphi, Hella, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Magna International, Panasonic Corporation and Samsung Electronics. We focus on three types of OEMs: multi-nationals, selected regional accounts and target market customers. Large multi-nationals and selected regional accounts, which are significant in specific markets, are our core OEM customers. The target market customers for our end-markets are OEMs that are on the leading edge of specific technologies and provide direction for technology and new product development. Generally, our OEM customers do not have the right to return our products following a sale other than pursuant to our standard warranty.
Distributors Sales to distributors accounted for approximately 56% of our revenues in 2016, 54% of our revenues in 2015 and 50% of our revenues in 2014. Our distributors, which include Arrow, Avnet, Macnica, OS Electronics, World Peace and WT Microelectronics, resell to mid-sized and smaller OEMs and to electronic manufacturing service providers and other companies. Sales to certain distributors are made pursuant to agreements that provide return rights with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Under certain agreements, distributors are allowed to return any product that we have removed from our price book. In addition, agreements with certain of our distributors contain stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns. Due to current limitations on the feasibility of estimating the upfront effect of returns and allowances with these distributors, we defer recognition of revenue and gross profit on sales to these distributors until these distributors resell the product. As a result, sales returns have minimal impact on our results of operations.
Electronic Manufacturing Service Providers Direct sales to electronic manufacturing service providers accounted for approximately 6% of our revenues in 2016, 7% of our revenues in 2015 and 8% of our revenues in 2014. Among our largest electronic manufacturing service customers are Benchmark Electronic, Flextronics, Jabil and Sanmina. These customers are manufacturers who typically provide contract manufacturing services for OEMs. Originally, these companies were involved primarily in the assembly of printed circuit boards, but they now typically provide design, supply management and manufacturing solutions as well. Many OEMs now outsource a large part of their manufacturing to electronic manufacturing service providers in order to focus on their core competencies. We are pursuing a number of strategies to penetrate this increasingly important marketplace. Generally, our electronic manufacturing service customers do not have the right to return our products following a sale other than pursuant to our standard warranty.

(1) These facilities are leased.
(2) This facility is used for both front-end and back-end operations with a total square footage of 275,642. Consists of one leased and one owned building.
(3) These facilities are located on leased land.
We operate all of our manufacturing facilities directly, with the exception of our assembly and test operations facility located in Leshan, China, which is owned by Leshan. Our investment in Leshan has been consolidated in our financial statements. Our joint venture partner, Leshan Radio Company Ltd., is formerly a state-owned enterprise. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, 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 by the requesting shareholder, provided that the 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 committed to purchase 80% of Leshan’s production capacity in each of 2016 and 2015, and 70% in 2014, and are currently committed to purchase approximately 80% of Leshan’s expected production capacity in 2017.

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 contract manufacturers, including Amkor, ASE, Kingpak, SMIC, TPSCo and UMC, collectively accounted for approximately 36%, 39% and 30% of our manufacturing costs in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
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.
Our manufacturing processes use many raw materials, including silicon wafers, gold, copper, lead frames, mold compound, ceramic packages and various chemicals and gases. We obtain our raw materials and supplies from a large number of sources, generally on a just-in-time basis, and material agreements with our suppliers that impose minimum or continuing supply obligations are reflected in our contractual obligations table in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Contractual Obligations” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. Although we believe that supplies of the raw materials we use are currently and will continue to be available, shortages could occur in various essential materials due to interruption of supply, increased demand in the industry or other factors.
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
As of December 31, 2016, our sales and marketing organization consisted of approximately 1,700 professionals, servicing customers globally. We support our customers through logistics organizations and just-in-time warehouses. 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 which are developed in one region of the world to be instantaneously available throughout all other regions.
Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Other Intellectual Property Rights
We market our products primarily under our registered trademark ON Semiconductor® and our ON logo, 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 intellectual property. 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 U.S. and foreign patents issued, allowed and pending. As of December 31, 2016, we held patents with expiration dates ranging from 2017 to 2038, and none of the patents that expire in the next three years materially affect our business. 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.
Historically, our revenues have been affected by the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the seasonal trends of related end-markets, which typically results in a stronger second half of the year for certain end-markets as compared to the first half of the year. With our recent acquisitions and our continued focus on the
14
automotive end market, we have started to experience a stronger first half of the year, which partially offsets the seasonality experienced during the prior years. However, in the future, we could experience period-to-period fluctuations in operating results due to general industry or economic conditions or for other reasons. 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.
Our trade sales are made primarily pursuant to orders that are predominantly booked as far as 26 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 Electronic Data Interface customers, in each case scheduled to be shipped over the 13-week period following such date. Backlog is influenced by several factors, including market demand, pricing and customer order patterns in reaction to product lead times. For those shipments to distributors who are allowed sales return rights and allowances, we recognize the related revenue and cost of revenue depending on if the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor or legacy Fairchild system or process. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” for additional information. Thus, backlog comprised of orders from these distributors will not result in revenues until these distributors sell the products ordered. During 2016, our backlog at the beginning of each quarter represented between 82% and 87% of actual revenues during such quarter, which is consistent with backlog levels in recent prior periods. As manufacturing capacity utilization in the industry increases, customers tend to order products further in advance and, as a result, backlog at the beginning of a period as a percentage of revenues during such period is likely to increase.
In the semiconductor industry, backlog quantities and shipment schedules under outstanding purchase orders are frequently revised to reflect changes in customer needs. Agreements calling for the sale of specific quantities are either contractually subject to quantity revisions or, as a matter of industry practice, are often not enforced. Therefore, a significant portion of our order backlog may be cancelable. For these reasons, the amount of backlog as of any particular date may not be an accurate indicator of future results.
We sell products to key customers pursuant to contracts that allow us to schedule production capacity in advance and allow the customers to manage their inventory levels consistent with just-in-time principles while shortening the cycle times required for producing ordered products. However, these contracts are typically amended to reflect changes in customer demands and periodic price renegotiations. We routinely generate inventory based on customers’ estimates of end-user demand for their products, which is difficult to predict. See “Risk Factors - Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business” located elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the inventory practices within the semiconductor industry.
The semiconductor industry, particularly the market for general-purpose semiconductor products like ours, is highly competitive. We face significant competition within each of our product lines from major international semiconductor companies, as well as smaller companies focused on specific market niches. Because some of our components are often building block semiconductors that, in some cases, can 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.
In comparison, several competitors noted below are larger in scale and size, have substantially greater financial and other resources with which to pursue development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution
15
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:
Power Solutions Group
The Power Solutions Group is a leading provider of power semiconductors to the automotive, industrial, wireless and mass markets. Our competitive strengths include our core competencies of leading edge fabrication technologies, micro 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 power MOSFETs, IGBTs, rectifiers and power module portfolio for power conversion applications and ESD portfolio for hi-speed serial interface protection products where we believe we have significant performance advantages over our competition. Select competitors include: Broadcom Limited; Diodes Incorporated; Infineon Technologies AG; KEC Corporation; NXP Semiconductors N.V.; Rohm Semiconductor; Semtech Corporation; STMicroelectronics N.V.; Texas Instruments Inc.; Toshiba Corporation; and Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
Analog Solutions Group
The principal methods of competition in the Analog Solutions Group are based 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 is also enhanced by long-standing relationships we have established with leading OEM customers.
Our ability to compete successfully depends on internal and external variables, both inside and outside of our control. 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. Select competitors for certain of our products and solutions include: Infineon Technologies AG; Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.; NXP Semiconductors N.V.; Renesas Electronics Corporation; STMicroelectronics N.V.; and Texas Instruments Inc.
Image Sensor Group
The principal method of competition in the Image Sensor Group is based on imaging experience for end users. Our competitive strengths include differentiating ourselves from others by leveraging our deep technical knowledge and close customer relationships to drive the most compelling imaging experience for end users. The Image Sensor Group was the first to commercialize CMOS active pixel sensors and the first to introduce CMOS technology into many of our markets, leveraging four decades of CCD imaging experience into market leading positions in automotive and industrial applications, bringing a wealth of technical and end-user applications knowledge to help customers develop innovative imaging solutions across a broad range of end-user needs. Select competitors for certain of our products and solutions include: Omnivision Technologies; Samsung
16
Semiconductor; Sony Semiconductor; STMicroelectronics N.V.; and Toshiba Corporation for image sensors, as well as Dongwoon Anatech Co., Ltd.; Renesas Electronics Corporation; and Rohm Semiconductor for actuator drivers.
Research and development costs in 2016, 2015 and 2014 were $452.3 million, $396.7 million and $366.6 million, representing 12%, 11%, and 12% of revenue, respectively. We seek to maximize the investment of our people and capital in research and development by targeting innovative products and solutions for high growth applications that position the company to outperform the industry. Our design expertise in analog, digital, mixed signal and imaging ICs, combined with our extensive portfolio of standard products enable the company to offer comprehensive, value added solutions to our global customers for their electronics systems.
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.
Our headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona is located on property that is a “Superfund” site, 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 now Freescale have been actively involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of our separation from Motorola in 1999, Motorola retained responsibility for this contamination, and Motorola and Freescale (which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NXP Semiconductors N.V. on December 7, 2015) have agreed to indemnify us with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter.
Our former front-end wafer manufacturing location in Aizu, Japan is located on property where soil and ground water contamination has been detected. We believe that the contamination originally occurred during a time when the facility was operated by a prior owner. We have been working with local authorities to implement remediation actions and expect all remaining remediation costs to be covered by insurance. Based on information available, any net costs to us in connection with this matter are not expected to be material.
Our manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic has ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred during the years that this facility was operated by government-owned entities. The remediation projects consist primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site, with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded. The government of the Czech Republic has agreed to indemnify us and the respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Based upon the information available, we do not believe that total future remediation costs to us will be material.
Our design center in East Greenwich, Rhode Island is located on property that has localized soil contamination. When we purchased the East Greenwich facility, we 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
17
groundwater monitoring program be initiated by the former owners of the property. Based on the information available, we do not believe that any costs to us in connection with this matter will be material.
As a result of the acquisition of AMIS in 2008, we are a “primary responsible party” to an environmental remediation and cleanup 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 us for any obligations relating to environmental remediation and clean-up at this location. Based on the information available, we do not believe that any future costs to us in connection with this matter will be material.
Through the acquisition of Fairchild, we acquired facilities in South Portland, Maine and West Jordan, Utah, which have 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 Texas Instruments, Inc. Although we may incur certain liabilities with respect to the above remediation projects, pursuant to the 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. Additionally, under the 1999 asset purchase agreement pursuant to which Fairchild purchased the power device business of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“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. The costs incurred to respond to the above conditions and projects have not been, and are not expected to be, material, and any future payments we make in connection with such liabilities are not expected to be material.
We were notified by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that we have been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under CERCLA in the Chemetco Superfund matter. Chemetco is a defunct reclamation services supplier who operated in Illinois at what is now a Superfund site. We used Chemetco for reclamation services. The EPA is pursuing Chemetco customers for contribution to the site cleanup activities. We have joined a PRP group which is cooperating with the EPA in the evaluation and funding of the cleanup. Based on the information available, any costs to us in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 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 the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of the Company or its subsidiaries. It is possible, however, that future developments, including 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 12: “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.
As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately 32,000 employees worldwide, of which approximately 4,400 employees were in the United States. The primary reason for the increase in headcount from prior year was due
18
to the addition of Fairchild employees. None of our employees in the United States are covered by collective bargaining agreements, except for our employees at the Mountain Top, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility. Certain of our foreign employees are covered by collective bargaining arrangements (e.g., those in China, Korea, Japan and Belgium) or similar arrangements or are represented by workers councils. For information regarding employee risk associated with our international operations, see “Risk Factors - Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Of the total number of our employees as of December 31, 2016, approximately 26,500 were engaged in manufacturing, approximately 1,700 were engaged in our sales and marketing organization, which includes customer service, approximately 1,100 were engaged in administration and approximately 2,700 were engaged in research and development.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Related to Our Business
The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, and significant downturns or upturns in customer demand can materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and, as a result, is subject to significant downturns and upturns in customer demand for semiconductors and related products. We cannot accurately predict the timing of future downturns and upturns in the semiconductor industry and how severe and prolonged these conditions might be. Significant downturns often occur in connection with, or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles (for semiconductors and for the end-user products in which they are used) or declines in general economic conditions and can result in reduced product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average selling prices, any of which could materially adversely affect our operating results as a result of increased operating expenses outpacing decreased revenue, reduced margins, underutilization of our manufacturing capacity and/or asset impairment charges. On the other hand, significant upturns can cause us to be unable to satisfy demand in a timely and cost efficient manner. In the event of such an upturn, we may not be able to expand our workforce and operations in a sufficiently timely manner, procure adequate resources and raw materials, or locate suitable third-party suppliers to respond effectively to changes in demand for our existing products or to the demand for new products requested by our customers, and our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
23
We may fail to realize the benefits expected from the Fairchild Transaction, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Although we expect significant benefits to result from the Fairchild Transaction, there can be no assurance that we will actually realize these or any other anticipated benefits of the Fairchild Transaction, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by our ability to achieve such benefits. Achieving the benefits of the Fairchild Transaction depends, in part, on our ability to integrate Fairchild’s business successfully and efficiently with our business.
The challenges involved in this integration, which are complex and time consuming, include the following: (1) demonstrating to our and Fairchild’s customers that the Fairchild Transaction will not adversely affect our ability to address the needs of customers; (2) coordinating and integrating research and development and engineering teams across technologies and product platforms to enhance product development while reducing costs; (3) consolidating and integrating corporate, information technology, finance and administrative infrastructures; (4) coordinating sales and marketing efforts to effectively position our capabilities and the direction of product development; and (5) minimizing the diversion of management attention from other important business objectives.
If we do not successfully manage these issues and the other challenges inherent in integrating Fairchild, then we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the Fairchild Transaction, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Rapid innovation and short product life cycles in the semiconductor industry can result in price erosion of older products, which may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid innovation and short product life cycles, which often results in price erosion, especially with respect to products containing outdated technology. 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, in some cases precipitously. In addition, our and our competitors’ excess inventory levels can accelerate general price erosion.
In order to continue to profitably supply older products, we must offset lower prices by reducing production costs, typically through improvements in process technology and production efficiencies. 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. Moreover, 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 the products we sell, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Downturns or volatility in general economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
In recent years, worldwide semiconductor industry sales have tracked the impact of the financial crisis, subsequent recovery and persistent economic uncertainty. We believe that the state of economic conditions in the United States is particularly uncertain due to likely shifts in legislative and regulatory conditions concerning, among other matters, international trade and taxation, and that an uneven recovery or a renewed global downturn may put pressure on our sales due to reductions in customer demand as well as customers deferring purchases. Volatile and/or uncertain economic conditions can adversely impact sales and profitability and make it difficult
24
for us and our competitors to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. To the extent we incorrectly plan for favorable economic conditions that do not materialize or take longer to materialize than expected, we may face oversupply of our products relative to customer demand. In the past, reduced customer spending has driven us, and may in the future drive us and our competitors, to reduce product pricing, which results in a negative effect on gross profit. Moreover, volatility in revenues as a result of unpredictable economic conditions may alter our anticipated working capital needs and interfere with our short-term and long-term strategies. To the extent that our sales, profitability and strategies are negatively affected by downturns or volatility in general economic conditions, our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
If we do not have access to capital on favorable terms, on the timeline we anticipate, or at all, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We require a substantial amount of capital to meet our operating requirements and remain competitive. We routinely incur significant costs to implement new manufacturing and information technologies, to increase our productivity and efficiency, to upgrade equipment and to expand production capacity and there can be no assurance that we will realize a return on the capital expended. We have incurred and may continue to incur material amounts of debt to fund these requirements. Significant volatility or disruption in the global financial markets may result in us not being able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, on the timeline we anticipate, or at all, and we may not be able to refinance, if necessary, any outstanding debt when due, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Any inability to obtain additional funding on favorable terms, on the timeline we anticipate, or at all, may cause us to curtail our operations significantly, reduce planned capital expenditures and research and development, or obtain funds through arrangements that management does not currently anticipate, including disposing of our assets and relinquishing rights to certain technologies, the occurrence of any of which may significantly impair our ability to remain competitive. If our operating results falter, our cash flow or capital resources prove inadequate, or if interest rates increase significantly, we could face liquidity problems that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
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 and alliances that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Successful acquisitions and alliances in the semiconductor industry are difficult to accomplish because they 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 limited experience. Our decision to pursue an acquisition is based on, among other factors, our estimates of expected future earnings growth and potential cost savings. For example, we may anticipate tax savings through integration of a newly acquired business into our business and rationalization of a combined infrastructure, and our estimates could turn out to be incorrect. 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) unidentified 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 due to uncertainty about positions post-integration. In addition, we may incur unexpected costs, such as operating or restructuring costs (including severance payments to departing employees). In the past, we have recorded goodwill impairment charges related to certain of our acquisitions as a result of such factors as significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results. Missteps or delays in integrating our acquisitions, which could
25
be caused by factors outside of our control, or our failure to realize the expected benefits of the acquisitions on the timeline we anticipate or at all, 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 such statements may not be 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.
We may be unable to maintain manufacturing efficiency, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We believe that our success materially depends on our ability to maintain or improve our current margin levels related to our manufacturing. Semiconductor manufacturing requires advanced equipment and significant capital investment, leading to high fixed costs which include depreciation expense. Manufacturing semiconductor components also involves highly complex processes that we and our competitors are continuously modifying to improve yields and product performance. In addition, impurities, waste or other difficulties in the manufacturing process can lower production yields. Our manufacturing efficiency is and will continue to be an important factor in our future profitability, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our 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 and testing facilities at expected levels, or if production capacity increases while revenues do not, the fixed costs and other operating expenses associated with these facilities 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.
Many of our facilities and processes are interdependent and an operational disruption at any particular facility could have a material adverse effect on our ability to produce many of our products, which could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We utilize an integrated manufacturing platform in which multiple facilities may each produce one or more components necessary for the assembly of a single product. As a result of the necessary interdependence within our network of manufacturing facilities, an operational disruption at a facility toward the front-end of our manufacturing process may have a disproportionate impact on our ability to produce many of our products. For example, our facility in Roznov, Czech Republic, manufactures silicon wafers used by a number of our facilities, and any operational disruption, natural or man-made disaster or other extraordinary event that impacted the Roznov facility would have a material adverse effect on our ability to produce a number of our products worldwide. 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, many 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 (for example, due to construction delays) or transferring production to other existing facilities (for example, due to capacity
26
constraints or difficulty in transitioning to new manufacturing processes), any of which could result in a loss of future revenues and materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The failure to successfully implement cost reduction initiatives, including through restructuring activities, could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
From time to time, we have implemented cost reduction initiatives in response to significant downturns in our industry, including relocating manufacturing to lower cost regions, transitioning higher-cost external supply to internal manufacturing, working with our material suppliers to lower costs, implementing personnel reductions and voluntary retirement programs, reducing employee compensation, temporary shutdowns of facilities with mandatory vacation and aggressively streamlining our overhead. In the past, we have recorded net restructuring charges to cover costs associated with our cost reduction initiatives. These costs have been primarily composed of employee separation costs (including severance payments) and asset impairments. We also often undertake restructuring activities and programs to improve our cost structure in connection with our business acquisitions, which can result in significant charges, including charges for severance payments to terminated employees and asset impairment charges.
We cannot assure you that our cost reduction and restructuring initiatives will be successfully or timely implemented, or that they will materially and positively impact our profitability. Because our restructuring activities involve changes to many aspects of our business, the associated cost reductions could materially adversely impact productivity and sales to an extent we have not anticipated. Even if we fully execute and implement these activities and they generate the anticipated cost savings, 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 benefits of our cost reduction and restructuring initiatives that we anticipate, our results of operations may be materially adversely effected.
If we are unable to identify and make the substantial research and development investments required to remain competitive in our business, 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 new and enhanced technologies and products. The development of new products is a complex and time-consuming process and often requires 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 that is required to remain competitive. In addition, the lengthy development cycle for our products limits our ability to adapt quickly to changes affecting the product markets and requirements of our customers and end-users. 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 that we will generate sufficient revenue to recover design and development investments, as expenditures for technology and product development are generally made before the commercial viability for such developments can be assured. There is no assurance that we will realize a return on the capital expended to develop new products, that a significant investment in new products will be profitable or that we will have margins as high as we anticipate at the time of investment or have experienced historically. To the extent that we underinvest in our research and development efforts, 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 that are attractive to our customers, and as a result our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
27
We may be unable to develop new products to satisfy, or we may develop products that misalign with, changing customer demands, which may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapidly changing technologies and industry standards, together with frequent new product introductions. Our success is largely dependent on our ability to accurately predict, identify and adapt to changes affecting the requirements of our customers in a timely and cost-effective manner. We focus our independent new product development efforts on market segments and applications that we anticipate will experience growth, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying high-growth areas. A fundamental shift in technologies or consumption patterns and preferences in our existing product markets or the product markets of our customers or end-users could make our current products obsolete and could make new products that we planned to introduce no longer relevant to our customers’ needs. If our new product development efforts fail to align with the needs of our customers, including due to circumstances outside of our control like a fundamental shift in the product markets of our customers and end users, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Uncertainties regarding the timing and amount of customer orders could lead to excess inventory and write-downs of inventory that could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our sales are typically made pursuant to individual purchase orders or customer agreements, and we generally do not have long-term supply arrangements with our customers requiring a commitment to purchase. Generally, our customers may cancel orders 30 days prior to shipment for standard products and 90 days for custom products without incurring a significant penalty. We routinely generate inventory based on customers’ estimates of end-user demand for their products, which is difficult to predict. This difficulty may be compounded when we sell to OEMs indirectly through distributors or contract manufacturers, or both, as our forecasts for demand are then based on estimates provided by multiple parties, which may vary significantly. In addition, our customers may change their inventory practices on short notice for any reason. Furthermore, short customer lead times are standard in the industry due to overcapacity. The cancellation or deferral of product orders, the return of previously sold products, or overproduction of products due to the failure of anticipated orders to materialize could result in excess obsolete inventory, which could result in write-downs of inventory or the incurrence of significant cancellation penalties under our arrangements with our raw materials and equipment suppliers. Unsold inventory, cancelled orders and cancellation penalties may materially adversely affect our results of operations, and inventory write-downs may materially adversely affect our financial condition.
The semiconductor industry is highly competitive, and our inability to compete effectively could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The semiconductor industry is highly competitive, and our ability to compete successfully 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. Because our components are often building block semiconductors that, in some cases, are integrated into more complex ICs, we also face competition from manufacturers of ICs, ASICs and fully customized ICs, as well as from customers who develop their own IC products. In addition, companies not currently in direct competition with us may introduce competing products in the future.
Our inability to compete effectively could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. Products or technologies developed by competitors that are larger and have more substantial research and development budgets, or that are smaller and more targeted in their development efforts, may render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. We also may be unable to market and sell our products if they are
28
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 revenues may be materially adversely affected. Competitive pressures may limit our ability to raise prices, and any inability to maintain revenues or raise prices to offset increases in costs could have a significant adverse effect on our gross margin. Reduced sales and lower gross margins would materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The semiconductor industry has experienced rapid consolidation and our inability to compete with large competitors or failure to identify attractive opportunities to consolidate may materially adversely affect our business.
The semiconductor industry is characterized by the high costs associated with developing marketable products and manufacturing technologies as well as high levels of investment in production capabilities. As a result, 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, including, but not limited to: substantially greater financial and other resources with which to withstand adverse economic or market conditions and pursue development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of their products; longer independent operating histories; presence in key markets; patent protection; and greater name recognition. In addition, we may be at a competitive disadvantage to our peers if we fail to identify attractive opportunities to consolidate with larger or smaller companies to expand our business. Consolidation among our competitors and integration among our customers could erode our market share, negatively impact our capacity to compete and require us to restructure our operations, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
Natural disasters and other business disruptions could cause significant harm to our business operations and facilities and could adversely affect our supply chain and our customer base, any of which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.
Our U.S. and international manufacturing facilities and distribution centers, as well as the operations of our third-party suppliers, are susceptible to losses and interruptions caused by floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, and similar natural disasters, as well as power outages, telecommunications failures, industrial accidents, and similar events. The occurrence of natural disasters in any of the regions in which we operate could severely disrupt the operations of our businesses by negatively impacting our supply chain, our ability to deliver products, and the cost of our products. Such events can negatively impact revenues and earnings and can significantly impact cash flow, both from decreased revenue and from increased costs associated with the event. In addition, these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility to the U.S. and worldwide economies. Although we carry insurance to generally compensate for losses of the type noted above, such insurance may not be adequate to cover all losses that may be incurred or continue to be available in the affected area at commercially reasonable rates and terms. To the extent any losses from natural disasters or other business disruptions are not covered by insurance, any costs, write-downs, impairments and decreased revenues can materially adversely affect our business, our results of operations and our financial condition.
The loss of one of our largest customers, or a significant reduction in the revenue we generate from these customers, could materially adversely affect our revenues, profitability, and results of operations.
Product sales to our ten largest customers have historically accounted for a significant amount of our business. For instance, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, revenue from our 10 largest end customers
29
collectively represented approximately 24% and 22%, respectively, of our total revenues for those years. Many of our customers operate in cyclical industries, and, in the past, we have experienced significant fluctuations from period to period in the volume of our products ordered. Generally, our agreements with our customers impose no minimum or continuing obligations to purchase our products. We cannot assure you that our largest customers will not cease purchasing products from us in favor of products produced by other suppliers, significantly reduce orders or seek price reductions in the future, and any such event could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, and results of operations.
Because a significant portion of our revenue is derived from customers in the automotive and communications industries, a downturn or lower sales to customers in either industry could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
A significant portion of our sales are to customers within the automotive and communications industries (including networking). Sales into these industries represented approximately 34% and 19% of our revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016, and those percentages will vary from quarter to quarter. Both the automotive and communications industries are cyclical, and, as a result, our customers in these industries are sensitive to changes in general economic conditions, 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 these industries could decline despite continued growth in their respective end markets. Lower sales to customers in the automotive or communications industry may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Shortages or increased prices of raw materials could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Our manufacturing processes rely on many raw materials, including various chemicals and gases, polysilicon, silicon wafers, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, lead frames, mold compound and ceramic packages. 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 on a just-in-time basis. From time to time, suppliers of raw materials may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors beyond our control. Shortages could occur in various essential raw materials due to interruption of supply or increased demand. 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.
We are dependent on the services of third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers, and any disruption in or deterioration of the quality of the services delivered by such third parties could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We use third-party contractors for certain of our manufacturing activities, primarily wafer fabrication and the assembly and testing of final goods. 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.
30
Our international operations subject us to risks inherent in doing business on an international level that could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A significant amount of our total revenue outside of the U.S. is derived from the Asia/Pacific region and Europe, and we maintain significant operations in these regions. In addition, we rely on a number of contract manufacturers whose operations are primarily located in the Asia/Pacific region. Risks inherent in doing business on an international level include, among others, the following:
| • | economic and geopolitical instability (including as a result of the threat or occurrence of armed international conflict or terrorist attacks); |
| • | changes in regulatory requirements, international trade agreements, tariffs, customs, duties and other trade barriers; |
| • | licensing requirements for the import or export of certain products; |
| • | exposure to different legal standards, customs, business practices, tariffs, duties and other trade barriers, including changes with respect to price protection, competition practices, IP, anti-corruption and environmental compliance, trade and travel restrictions, pandemics, import and export license requirements and restrictions, and accounts receivable collections; |
| • | transportation and other supply chain delays and disruptions; |
| • | power supply shortages and shutdowns; |
| • | fluctuations in raw material costs and energy costs; |
| • | difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, including collective bargaining agreements and workers councils, exposure to foreign labor laws and other employment and labor issues; |
| • | currency fluctuations; |
| • | currency convertibility and repatriation; |
| • | taxation of our earnings and the earnings of our personnel; |
| • | limitations on the repatriation of earnings and potential taxation of foreign profits in the U.S.; |
| • | potential violations by our international employees or third party agents of international or U.S. laws relevant to foreign operations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”)); |
| • | difficulty in enforcing intellectual property rights; and |
| • | other risks relating to the administration of or changes in, or new interpretations of, the laws, regulations and policies of the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. |
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming the risks that relate to or arise from operating in international markets, the materialization of any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We could be subject to changes in tax rates or the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation or have exposure to additional tax liabilities, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
Changes to income tax regulations in the United States and the jurisdictions in which we operate, or in the interpretation of such laws, could, under our existing tax structure, significantly increase our effective tax rate and ultimately reduce our cash flow from operating activities and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, other factors or events, including business combinations and investment transactions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of various tax returns or as a result of deficiencies asserted by taxing authorities, increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes, changes in available tax credits, increasing operations in high tax jurisdictions, and changes in tax rates, could also increase our future effective tax rate.
31
Our tax filings are subject to review or audit by the Internal Revenue Service and state, local and foreign taxing authorities. We exercise significant judgment in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and, in the ordinary course of our business, there may be transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are also liable for potential tax liabilities of businesses we acquire. The final determination in an audit may be materially different than the treatment reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. An assessment of additional taxes because of an audit could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Further changes in the 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. These changes, if adopted by countries, could increase tax uncertainty and may adversely affect our provision for income taxes. In the United States, a number of proposals for broad reform of the corporate tax system are under evaluation by various legislative and administrative bodies, but it is not possible to accurately determine the overall impact of such proposals on our effective tax rate at this time.
The distribution of any earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to the United States may be subject to United States income taxes, thus reducing our net income and materially adversely affecting our results of operations.
We hold a significant amount of cash and cash equivalents outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. We require a substantial amount of cash in the United States for operating requirements, debt repurchases and repayments, acquisitions, and stock repurchases. If we are unable to address our U.S. cash requirements through operations, borrowings under our current debt agreements or other sources of cash obtained at an acceptable cost, it may be necessary for us to consider repatriation of foreign earnings, and we may be required to pay additional taxes under current tax laws, which could have a material effect on our results of operations.
We operate a global business through numerous foreign subsidiaries, and there is a risk that tax authorities will challenge our transfer pricing methodologies and/or legal entity structures, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
We conduct operations worldwide through our foreign subsidiaries and are, therefore, subject to complex transfer pricing regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Transfer pricing regulations generally require that, for tax purposes, transactions between related parties be priced on a basis that would be comparable to an arm’s length transaction between unrelated parties. There is uncertainty and inherent subjectivity in complying with these rules. To the extent that any foreign tax authorities disagree with our transfer pricing policies, we could become subject to significant tax liabilities and penalties. The ultimate outcome of a tax examination could differ materially from our provisions and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results or operations and cash flows.
Our legal organizational structure could result in unanticipated unfavorable tax or other consequences which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Changes in tax laws, regulations, future jurisdictional profitability of us and our subsidiaries, and related regulatory interpretations in the countries in which we operate may impact the taxes we pay or tax provision we record, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, any challenges to how our entities are structured or realigned or their business purpose by taxing authorities could result in us becoming subject to significant tax liabilities and penalties which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
32
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 and cash equivalents is held outside the U.S., many of our liabilities, including our outstanding indebtedness, and certain other cash payments, such as share repurchases, are payable 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. From time to time, we are required to make cash deposits outside of the U.S. to support bank guarantees of our obligations under certain office leases or amounts we owe to certain vendors and such cash deposits are not available for other uses as long as the related bank guarantees are outstanding. 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 U.S., 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 U.S. may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
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 U.S. and internationally. In the semiconductor industry, the competition for qualified personnel, particularly experienced design engineers and other technical employees, is intense, particularly when the business cycle is improving. During such periods, competitors may try to recruit our most valuable technical employees. While we devote a great deal of our attention to designing competitive compensation programs aimed at accomplishing this goal, 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. Loss of the services of, or failure to effectively recruit, qualified personnel, including senior managers, could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position and on our business.
If we must reduce our use of equity awards to compensate our employees, our competitiveness in the employee marketplace could be adversely affected and our results of operations could vary as a result of changes in our stock-based compensation programs.
We have in the past and expect to continue to issue RSUs with time-based vesting, performance-based awards and common stock options that generally have exercise prices at the market value at the time of the grant and that are subject to vesting over time as compensation tools. While this is a routine practice in many parts of the world, foreign exchange and income tax regulations in some countries make this practice more and more difficult. Such regulations tend to diminish the value of equity compensation to our employees in those countries. Our current practice is to seek stockholder approval of new, or amendments to existing, equity compensation plans. If these proposals do not receive stockholder approval, we may not be able to grant equity awards to employees at the same levels as in the past, which could materially adversely affect our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, thereby materially adversely affecting our business. In addition, changes in forecasted stock-based compensation expense could cause our results of operations to vary by impacting our gross margin percentage, research and development expenses, marketing, general and administrative expenses and our tax rate.
33
Disruptions caused by labor disputes or organized labor activities could materially harm our business and reputation.
Currently, certain of our U.S. employees in Pennsylvania are represented by labor unions. In addition, we may from time to time experience union organizing activities in our non-union facilities. Disputes with the current labor union or new union organizing activities could lead to production slowdowns or stoppages and make it difficult or impossible for us to meet scheduled delivery times for product shipments to our customers, which could result in a loss of business and material damage to our reputation. In addition, union activity and compliance with international labor standards could result in higher labor costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
If we are unable to protect the intellectual property we use, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially 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 U.S. 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:
| • | any of the substantial number of U.S. 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; or |
| • | any of our pending or future trademark, copyright, or mask work applications will be issued or have the coverage originally sought. |
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 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 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, results of operations and financial condition.
34
If our technologies are subject to claims of infringement on the IP rights of third parties, 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 third-party IP rights. 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 in any such litigation, we may be required to:
| • | pay substantial damages; |
| • | 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 processes; or |
| • | obtain licenses, which may not be available on reasonable terms, to the infringing technologies. |
The outcome of IP litigation is inherently uncertain and, if not resolved in our favor, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Environmental and health and safety liabilities and expenditures could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our manufacturing operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations relating to the management, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and the emission and discharge of pollutants into the air, water and ground, and we have been identified as either a primary responsible party or a potentially responsible party at sites where we or our predecessors operated or disposed of waste in the past. Our operations are also 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:
| • | changes in U.S. and international environmental or health and safety laws or regulations; |
| • | 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; |
| • | 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. |
35
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, expense and liabilities which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are exposed to increased costs and risks associated with complying with increasing and new regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards.
Like most publicly traded companies, we incur significant cost and spend a significant amount of management time and internal resources to comply with changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, which requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and attestations of the effectiveness of these systems by our management and by our independent registered public accounting firm. As we continue to make strategic acquisitions, mergers and alliances, the integration of these businesses increases the complexity of our systems of controls. While we devote significant resources and time to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), we cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we design, implement and maintain adequate control over our financial process and reporting in the future.
There can be no assurance that we or our independent registered public accounting firm will not identify a material weakness in the combined company’s internal control over financial reporting in the future. Failure to comply with SOX, including delaying or failing to successfully integrate our acquisitions into our internal control over financial reporting or the identification and reporting of a material weakness, may cause investors to lose confidence in our consolidated financial statements or even in our ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of such transactions, and the trading price of our common stock or other securities may decline. In addition, if we fail to remedy any material weakness, our investors and others may lose confidence in our financial statements, our financial statements may be materially inaccurate, our access to capital markets may be restricted and the trading price of our common stock may decline.
Warranty claims, product liability claims and product recalls could harm our business, 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 increasingly 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, results of operations and financial condition.
36
Since a defect or failure in our product could give rise to failures in the goods that incorporate them (and consequential claims for damages against our customers from their customers), we may face claims for damages that are disproportionate to the revenues and profits we receive from the products involved. In certain instances, we attempt to limit our liability through our standard terms and conditions of sale and other customer contracts. There is no assurance that such limitations will be effective, and to the extent that we are liable for damages in excess of the revenues and profits we received from the products involved, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We may be subject to disruptions or breaches of our secured network 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 IP and other proprietary information about our business and that of our 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 secured network caused by computer viruses, illegal hacking, criminal fraud or impersonation, acts of vandalism or terrorism or employee error. Our 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 eliminate 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 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, to the extent we sell products containing bugs or viruses to our customers, we may be exposed to liability from the end-users of such products. Any of the foregoing could irreparably damage our reputation and business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Sales through distributors and other third parties expose us to risks that, if realized, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We face risks related to our sale of a significant, and increasing, portion of our products through distributors. Distributors may sell products that compete with our products, and we may need to provide financial and other incentives to focus distributors on the sale of our products. We may rely on one or more key distributors for a product, and the loss of these distributors could reduce our revenue. Distributors may face financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, which could harm our collection of accounts receivable and financial results. Violations of the FCPA or similar laws by distributors or other third-party intermediaries could have a material impact on our business. Failure to manage risks related to our use of distributors may reduce sales, increase expenses, and weaken our competitive position, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Our Indebtedness
Our substantial debt could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2016, we had $3,806.8 million of outstanding 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. The degree to which we are leveraged could have important consequences to our potential and current investors, including:
| • | our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired; |
37
| • | the timing, amount and execution of our capital allocation policy, including our share repurchase program, could be affected by the degree to which we are leveraged; |
| • | a significant portion of our cash flow from operating activities must be dedicated to the payment of interest and principal on our debt, which reduces the funds available to us for our operations and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interests; |
| • | some of our debt is and will continue to be at variable rates of interest, which may result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in market interest rates; |
| • | our debt agreements may contain, and any agreements to refinance our debt likely will contain, financial and restrictive covenants, and our failure to comply with them may result in an event of default which if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us; |
| • | our level of indebtedness will increase our vulnerability to, and reduce our flexibility to respond to, general economic downturns and adverse industry and business conditions; |
| • | as our long-term debt ages, we may need to renegotiate or repay such debt or seek additional financing; |
| • | to the extent the debt we incur requires collateral to secure such indebtedness, our assets could be at risk and our flexibility related to such assets could be limited; |
| • | our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the semiconductor industry; |
| • | our substantial leverage could place us at a competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis our competitors who may have less leverage relative to their overall capital structures; and |
| • | our level of indebtedness may place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to less leveraged competitors. |
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.
Indebtedness incurred in connection with the Fairchild Transaction 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.
In connection with our acquisition of Fairchild, we entered into the Amended Credit Agreement providing for the $600 million Revolving Credit Facility, which provides liquidity to us, and the $2.4 billion Term Loan “B” Facility, which was used to fund the acquisition of Fairchild. 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 the Company and most of the Company’s 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 acquisition-related financing 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.
38
The agreements relating to our indebtedness, including the Amended Credit Agreement, 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, 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, including guarantees; |
| • | incur liens; |
| • | make certain investments; |
| • | sell or otherwise dispose of assets; |
| • | make some acquisitions; |
| • | engage in mergers or consolidations or certain other “change in 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. These restrictions may limit our ability to engage in activities that could otherwise benefit us. To the extent that we are unable to engage in activities that support the growth, profitability and competitiveness of our business, our results of operations 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 due 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 scheduled 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 flow from operating activities and proceeds from sales of assets in the ordinary course of business 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 and 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.
39
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 any of the 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 and contractual 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 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. During the first quarter of 2017, we entered into interest rate swaps that involved the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments in order to reduce interest rate volatility for a portion of our Term Loan “B” Facility. However, 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.
Servicing the 1.00% 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 the 1.00% Notes in a timely manner.
In June 2015, we issued $690.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.00% Notes. Holders of the 1.00% Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined under the indenture governing the 1.00% Notes) at a repurchase price equal to
40
100% of the principal amount of the 1.00% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, upon conversion of the 1.00% Notes to be repurchased, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional shares), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the 1.00% Notes being converted. Moreover, we will be required to repay the 1.00% Notes in cash at their maturity, unless earlier converted or repurchased. Servicing the 1.00% 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 the 1.00% Notes. Our ability to make cash payments in connection with conversions of the 1.00% Notes, repurchase the 1.00% Notes in the event of a fundamental change 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. If we are unable to make cash payments upon conversion of the 1.00% Notes, we would be required to issue significant amounts of our common stock, which would dilute existing stockholders. In addition, if we do not have sufficient cash to repurchase the 1.00% Notes following a fundamental change, we would be in default under the terms of the 1.00% Notes, which could cross default other debt and materially, adversely harm our business. The terms of the Amended Credit Agreement limit the amount of future indebtedness we may incur, but the terms of the 1.00% Notes do not limit the amount of future indebtedness 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.
The conditional conversion feature of the 1.00% Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and, if we elect to settle the 1.00% Notes conversion in common stock, could materially dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2020, holders of the 1.00% Notes may convert the 1.00% Notes only if specified conditions are met. In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 1.00% Notes is triggered, holders of the 1.00% Notes will be entitled to convert the notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 1.00% Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, if the conditional conversion feature of the 1.00% Notes is triggered, even if holders do not elect to convert their 1.00% Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the 1.00% Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital. Any material decrease in our liquidity or reduction in our net working capital could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we elect to settle the 1.00% Notes conversion in common stock, such issuance of common stock could materially dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders, including stockholders who previously converted their 1.00% Notes.
The fundamental change repurchase feature of our 1.00% Notes may delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial attempt to take over our Company.
The terms of our 1.00% Notes require us to repurchase the 1.00% Notes in the event of a fundamental change (as defined under the indenture governing the 1.00% Notes). In certain circumstances, a takeover of our Company could trigger an option of the holders of the 1.00% Notes to require us to repurchase the 1.00% Notes. This may have the effect of delaying or preventing a takeover of our Company that would otherwise be beneficial to investors in the 1.00% Notes, which could materially decrease the value of the 1.00% Notes.
41
Note hedge and warrant transactions we have entered into may materially adversely affect the value of our common stock.
Concurrently with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes, 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 1.00% Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 1.00% Notes, as the case may be. We also entered into warrant transactions with the option counterparties. However, the warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock exceeds $25.96.
In connection with establishing their initial hedge of the convertible note hedges and warrant transactions, 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 following the pricing of the 1.00% Notes. 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 the 1.00% Notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of 1.00% Notes or following any repurchase of the 1.00% Notes by us on any fundamental change repurchase date or otherwise). 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 1.00% Notes and/or cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 1.00% 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 Relating to Our Common Stock
Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot reliably predict future revenues and profitability, and unexpected changes may impact the value of our common stock. A large portion of our costs are fixed, due in part to our significant sales, research and development and manufacturing costs. Thus, small
42
declines in revenues could negatively affect our operating results in any given quarter. In addition to the other factors described above, factors that could affect our quarterly operating results include:
| • | the timing and size of orders from our customers, including cancellations and reschedulings; |
| • | the timing of introduction of new products; |
| • | the gain or loss of significant customers, including as a result of industry consolidation or as a result of our acquisitions; |
| • | seasonality in some of our target markets; |
| • | changes in the mix of products we sell; |
| • | changes in demand by the end-users of our customers’ products; |
| • | market acceptance of our current and future products; |
| • | variability of our customers’ product life cycles; |
| • | availability of supplies and manufacturing services; |
| • | changes in manufacturing yields or other factors affecting the cost of goods sold, such as the cost and availability of raw materials and the extent of utilization of manufacturing capacity; |
| • | changes in the prices of our products, which can be affected by the level of our customers’ and end-users’ demand, technological change, product obsolescence, competition or other factors; |
| • | cancellations, changes or delays of deliveries to us by our third-party manufacturers, including as a result of the availability of manufacturing capacity and the proposed terms of manufacturing arrangements; |
| • | our liquidity and access to capital; and |
| • | our research and development activities and the funding thereof. |
An adverse change or development in any of the above factors could cause the market price of common stock to materially decline.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
The stock markets in general, and the markets for high technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
The market price of the common stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, among others, some of which are beyond our control:
| • | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| • | the issuance or repurchase of shares of our common stock; |
| • | changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance; |
| • | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
| • | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, new products or product enhancements; |
| • | loss of a major customer or failure to complete significant transactions; and |
| • | additions or departures of key personnel. |
The trading price of our common stock in the past has had significant variance and we cannot accurately predict every potential risk that may materially and adversely affect our stock price.
43
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:
| • | 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 any 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.

Industry Overview
In recent years, worldwide semiconductor industry sales have tracked the impact of the financial crisis, subsequent recovery and persistent economic uncertainty. According to WSTS (an industry research firm), worldwide semiconductor industry sales were $338.9 billion in 2016, an increase of approximately 1.1% from $335.2 billion in 2015. We participate in unit and revenue surveys and use data summarized by WSTS to evaluate overall semiconductor market trends and also to track our progress against the market in the areas we provide semiconductor components. The following table sets forth total worldwide semiconductor industry revenues and revenues in our Serviceable Addressable Market (“SAM”) since 2012:

| (1) | Based on shipment information published by WSTS. WSTS collects this information based on product shipments, which differs from how we recognize revenue on shipments to certain distributors as described in Note 2: “Significant Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We believe the data provided by WSTS is reliable, but we have not independently verified it. WSTS periodically revises its information. We assume no obligation to update such information. |
| (2) | Our SAM comprises the following specific WSTS product categories: (a) discrete products (all discrete semiconductors other than sensors, microwave power transistors/modules, microwave diodes, and microwave transistors, power modules, logic and optoelectronics); (b) standard analog products (amplifiers, VREGs and references, comparators, ASSP consumer, ASSP communications, ASSP computer, ASSP automotive and ASSP industrial and others); (c) standard logic products (general purpose logic); (d) standard product logic (consumer other, computer other peripherals, wired / wireless communications, automotive, industrial and multipurpose); (e) CMOS and CCD image sensors; (f) memory; (g) microcontrollers and (h) motor control modules. Our SAM is derived using the most recent information available, excluding foundry exposure, at the time of the filing of each respective period’s annual report and is revised in subsequent periods to reflect final results. |
As indicated above, worldwide semiconductor sales increased from $291.6 billion in 2012 to $338.9 billion in 2016. The increase of 1.1% from 2015 to 2016 reflected improving macroeconomic conditions in the second half of 2016. Sales in our SAM increased from $103.7 billion in 2012 to $118.9 billion in 2016. The increase of 2.6% from 2015 to 2016 is consistent with the trend in the worldwide semiconductor market. The most recently published estimates of WSTS project a compound annual growth rate in our SAM of approximately 4.0% for the next three years. These projections are not ours and may not be indicative of actual results.
Historically, the semiconductor industry has been highly cyclical. During a down cycle, unit demand and pricing have tended to fall in tandem, resulting in revenue declines. In response to such declines, manufacturers have
48
reduced or shut down production capacity. When new applications or other factors have caused demand to strengthen, production volumes have historically stabilized and then grown again. As market unit demand reaches levels above capacity production capabilities, shortages begin to occur, which typically causes pricing power to swing back from customers to manufacturers, thus prompting further capacity expansion. Such expansion has typically resulted in overcapacity following a decrease in demand, which has triggered another similar cycle.
ON Semiconductor Overview
We are driving innovation in energy efficient electronics. Our extensive portfolio of sensors, power management, connectivity, custom and SoC, analog, logic, timing, and discrete devices helps customers efficiently solve their design challenges in advanced electronic systems and products. Our power management and motor driver semiconductor components control, convert, protect and monitor the supply of power to the different elements within a wide variety of electronic devices. Our custom ASICs use analog, MCU, DSP, mixed-signal and advanced logic capabilities to act as the brain behind many of our automotive, medical, aerospace/defense, consumer and industrial customers’ products. Our signal management semiconductor components provide high-performance clock management and data flow management for precision computing, communications and industrial systems. Our growing portfolio of sensors, including image sensors, optical image stabilization and auto focus devices provide advanced solutions for automotive, wireless, industrial and consumer applications. Our standard semiconductor components serve as “building blocks” within virtually all types of electronic devices. These various products fall into the logic, analog, discrete, image sensors, IoT and memory categories used by the WSTS group.
Our new product development efforts continue to be focused on building solutions in product areas that appeal to customers in focused market segments and across multiple high growth applications. We collaborate with our customers to identify desired innovations in electronic systems in each end-market that we serve. This enables us to participate in the fastest growing sectors of the market. We also innovate in advanced packaging technologies to support ongoing size reduction in electronic systems and in advanced thermal packaging to support high performance power conversion applications. It is our practice to regularly re-evaluate our research and development spending, to assess the deployment of resources and to review the funding of high growth technologies. We deploy people and capital with the goal of maximizing our investment in research and development in order to facilitate continued growth by targeting innovative products and solutions for high growth applications that position us to outperform the industry. Our design expertise in analog, digital, mixed signal and imaging ICs, combined with our extensive portfolio of standard products enable the company to offer comprehensive, value added solutions to our global customers for their electronics systems.
We believe that some of the key factors and trends affecting our results of operations include, but not limited to:
| • | Our acquisition of Fairchild and our integration of Fairchild’s business into our operations, including through the segment realignment described below; |
| • | Macroeconomic conditions affecting the semiconductor industry; |
| • | The cyclicality and seasonality of the semiconductor industry; |
| • | The global economic climate; |
| • | Our significant indebtedness, including the indebtedness incurred in connection with our acquisition of Fairchild; |
| • | An uncertain corporate tax environment, both in the U.S. and abroad; |
| • | An uncertain political climate and related impacts on global trade; |
| • | The effects of trends in the automotive industry on our revenues; and |
49
| • | Competitive conditions, and in particular consolidation, within our industry. |
Fairchild Acquisition
On September 19, 2016, we completed our acquisition of Fairchild, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Fairchild Agreement”) with each of Fairchild and Falcon Operations Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, which provided for the acquisition of Fairchild by us (the “Fairchild Transaction”). The purchase price totaled $2,532.2 million and was funded by the borrowings against our Term Loan “B” Facility and a partial draw of our Revolving Credit Facility and with cash on hand.
We believe that this acquisition creates a power semiconductor leader with strong capabilities in a rapidly consolidating semiconductor industry. Ultimately, we believe that the combination of Fairchild operations with our own will provide complementary product lines to offer customers the full spectrum of high, medium and low voltage products, and we will continue to pioneer technology and design innovation in efficient energy consumption to help our customers achieve success and drive value for our partners and employees around the world. We believe the acquisition also expands our footprint in wireless communication products, particularly in high efficiency power conversions and USB Type C communication and power delivery. See “Business - 2016 Acquisition Activity,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information. See Note 4: “Acquisitions and Divestitures” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Recent ON Semiconductor Results
Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $3,906.9 million, an increase of approximately 11.8% from $3,495.8 million from the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase was attributable to the acquisition of Fairchild, partially offset by lower revenues in our Image Sensor Group. During 2016, we reported net income attributable to ON Semiconductor of $182.1 million compared to $206.2 million in 2015. Our gross margin decreased by approximately 90 basis points to 33.2% in 2016 from 34.1% in 2015. The decrease was due to the expensing of the fair market value of inventory step-up from the Fairchild acquisition of $67.5 million. Excluding the expensing of the fair market value of inventory step-up, the increase in gross margin was primarily driven by higher factory utilization and product mix.
ON Semiconductor Q1 2017 Outlook
Based upon product booking trends, backlog levels, and estimated turns levels, we estimate that our revenues will be approximately $1,215 to $1,265 million in the first quarter of 2017. Backlog levels for the first quarter of 2017 represent approximately 80% to 85% of our anticipated first quarter 2017 revenues. For the first quarter of 2017, we estimate that gross margin as a percentage of revenues will be approximately 33.4% to 34.8%.
Statements related to our outlook for the first quarter of 2017 are based on our current expectations, forecasts, estimates and assumptions. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. See “Risk Factors” for additional information.
Business and Macroeconomic Environment Influence on Cost Savings and Restructuring Activities
In 2016 and 2017, our initiatives have been and will be focused on synergy related cost reductions from the Fairchild acquisition. Additionally, we have historically pursued, and expect to continue to pursue, other cost
50
saving initiatives to align our overall cost structure, capital investments and other expenditures with our expected revenue, spending and capacity levels based on our current sales and manufacturing projections. We have recognized efficiencies from previously implemented restructuring activities and programs and continue to implement profitability enhancement programs to improve our cost structure. However, the semiconductor industry has traditionally been highly cyclical and has often experienced significant downturns in connection with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. There can be no assurances that we will adequately forecast economic conditions or that we will effectively align our cost structure, capital investments and other expenditures with our revenue, spending and capacity levels in the future.
See “Results of Operations - Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net” below, along with Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, 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.
Segment Realignment in 2016
During the third quarter of 2016, we realigned our operating and reporting segments into the following three operating and reporting segments to optimize anticipated efficiencies resulting from our acquisition of Fairchild: Power Solutions Group, Analog Solutions Group and Image Sensor Group. The operating results of the System Solutions Group, which was previously our fourth operating and reporting segment, and which did not have goodwill, are now assigned among the three current operating and reporting segments. Prior year periods of segment information presented below reflect the current three operating and reporting segments. Our Power Solutions Group and Analog Solutions Group operating and reporting segments include the business acquired in the Fairchild Transaction.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 include the results of operations from our acquisitions of Fairchild, AXSEM, Aptina, and Truesense on September 19, 2016, July 15, 2015, August 15, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively.

Revenues
Revenues were $3,906.9 million, $3,495.8 million and $3,161.8 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase of $411.1 million, or approximately 12%, in 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily attributable to approximately 21.2% and 10.7% increases in revenue in our Power Solutions Group and Analog Solutions Group, respectively, which included Fairchild revenues of $411.5 million between September 19, 2016 and December 31, 2016. This increase was partially offset by lower revenues in our Image Sensor Group.
52
The increase in revenues from 2015 compared to 2014 of $334.0 million, or approximately 11%, was primarily attributed to $411.0 million of additional revenue in the Image Sensor Group provided by a full year of operations from the 2014 acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense, partially offset by decreased revenue from our former System Solutions Group segment and a decrease in average selling prices of approximately 8%.
Revenues by reportable segment for each of 2016, 2015 and 2014 were as follows (dollars in millions):

Revenues from the Power Solutions Group
Revenues from the Power Solutions Group increased by $298.7 million, or approximately 21%, during 2016 compared to 2015, and decreased by $13.6 million, or approximately 1%, during 2015 compared to 2014.
The 2016 increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Fairchild, which had $277.5 million in revenues across various products within this segment. Revenues from our discrete products increased by $215.0 million, or approximately 35%, revenues from our new IPMS and Optoelectronics products increased by $45.8 million and $20.8 million, respectively, and revenues from our analog products increased by $20.5 million, or approximately 6%.
The 2015 decrease resulted from a decrease in revenues from our IPM products of $14.1 million, or approximately 13%, and a decrease in revenues from TMOS products of $14.6 million, or approximately 6%, partially offset by an increase in revenues from memory products of $16.7 million, or approximately 24%.
Revenues from the Analog Solutions Group
Revenues from the Analog Solutions Group increased by $142.9 million, or approximately 11%, during 2016 compared to 2015 and decreased by $77.2 million, or approximately 5%, during 2015 compared to 2014.
The 2016 increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Fairchild, which had $134.0 million in revenues across various products within this segment. Additionally, revenues from our legacy analog products increased $19.9 million, or approximately 5%, partially offset by decreased revenue in our LSI products of $15.0 million, or approximately 5%.
The 2015 decrease resulted from a decrease in revenues from our LSI products of $62.0 million, or approximately 18%, and a decrease in revenues from analog products of $18.5 million, or approximately 5%.
Revenues from the Image Sensor Group
Revenues from the Image Sensor Group decreased by $30.5 million, or approximately 4%, during 2016 compared to 2015 and increased by $424.8 million, or approximately 132%, during 2015 compared to 2014.
53
The 2016 decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenues from our consumer products of $57.6 million, or approximately 9%, offset by an increase in revenues from our LSI products of $15.2 million, or approximately 51%, and an increase in revenues from our ASIC products of $11.8 million, or approximately 12%.
The 2015 increase was primarily attributable to $409.6 million of additional revenue generated by Aptina and Truesense during their first full year of operations after acquisition, as compared to 2014, in which the two businesses generated $262.4 million of revenue during the period of 2014 after the closing of the acquisitions.

54
Our gross profit was $1,296.9 million, $1,193.2 million and $1,084.9 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The gross profit increase of $103.7 million, or approximately 9%, for 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily due to the contributions from Fairchild, which generated approximately $87 million of gross profit for 2016.
The gross profit increase of $108.3 million, or approximately 10%, for 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to the contributions of acquisitions during 2014, including $27.0 million for the amortization of the fair market value of inventory step-up from our acquisitions during 2014 for which there was no amortization during 2015, and manufacturing and cost improvements that were partially offset by decreased average selling prices.
Gross margin decreased to approximately 33.2% during 2016 compared to approximately 34.1% during 2015. Excluding the expensing of the fair market value of inventory step-up from the Fairchild acquisition of $67.5 million, gross margin increased, primarily due to higher factory utilization and product mix.
Gross margin decreased to approximately 34.1% during 2015 compared to approximately 34.3% during 2014. This decrease was primarily driven by a larger proportion of our revenues provided by our Image Sensor Group which generates lower gross margin levels than our Analog Solutions Group and Power Solutions Group.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $452.3 million, $396.7 million and $366.6 million, representing approximately 12%, 11% and 12% of revenues, for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The increase in research and development expenses of $55.6 million, or approximately 14%, during 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily associated with the acquisition of Fairchild, which added to several categories of research and development expenses totaling $28.8 million. Research and development expenses unrelated to the Fairchild Transaction increased by $26.8 million, primarily in the area of payroll, including incentive compensation and payroll related costs, pension losses and IP related activities.
The increase in research and development expenses of $30.1 million, or approximately 8%, during 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily associated with an increase of $50.4 million from expenses attributable to the operations of Aptina and Truesense for the full period in 2015. These expenses were partially offset by lower payroll costs, including incentive compensation and payroll related costs, in our Analog Solutions Group and former System Solutions Group segment.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses were $238.0 million, $204.3 million and $200.0 million, representing approximately 6% of revenues in each year period, for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The increase in selling and marketing expenses of $33.7 million, or approximately 16%, during 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily associated with the acquisition of Fairchild, which had selling and marketing expenses of $26.7 million, primarily in the area of payroll, including incentive compensation and payroll related costs. There were also increases in expenses related to outside services and travel.
55
The increase in selling and marketing expenses of $4.3 million, or approximately 2%, during 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily associated with an increase of $23.5 million for expenses attributable to the operations of Aptina and Truesense for the full period in 2015. These expenses were significantly offset by lower payroll costs, including incentive compensation and payroll related costs in our Analog Solutions Group, Power Solutions Group and former System Solutions Group segment.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $230.3 million, $182.3 million and $180.9 million, representing approximately 6%, 5% and 6% of revenues, for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The increase in general and administrative expenses of $48.0 million, or approximately 26%, during 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily associated with the acquisition of Fairchild, which had general and administrative expenses of $36.9 million, primarily in the area of payroll, including incentive compensation and payroll related costs, outside services, travel related expenses, as well as acquisition related expenses.
The increase in general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million, or approximately 1%, during 2015 compared to 2014 includes an increase of approximately $14.6 million for expenses attributable to the operations of Aptina and Truesense for the full period in 2015, partially offset by lower payroll, including incentive compensation and payroll related costs in our Power Solutions Group, Analog Solutions Group and former System Solutions Group.
Amortization of Acquisition—Related Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was $104.8 million, $135.7 million and $68.4 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease of $30.9 million during 2016 compared to 2015 was attributable to the declining amortization of our Aptina and Truesense intangible assets, partially offset by the amortization of our intangible assets acquired from the Fairchild acquisition. Amortization of acquired intangible assets from the Fairchild Transaction was $12.6 million between September 19, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
The increase in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets during 2015 compared to 2014 was attributable to a full period of the amortization of intangible assets assumed as a result of our acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense.
See Note 4: “Acquisition and Divestitures” and Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information with respect to intangible assets.
Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net
Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net was $33.2 million, $9.3 million and $30.5 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The information below summarizes the major activities in each year. For additional information, see Note 6: “Restructuring, Asset Impairments and Other, Net” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
2016
During 2016, we recorded approximately $33.2 million of net charges related to our restructuring programs, consisting primarily of $25.7 million of post-Fairchild acquisition restructuring costs, $5.3 million of former
56
System Solutions Group segment voluntary workforce reduction program costs, and $2.1 million of manufacturing relocation program costs.
2015
During 2015, we recorded approximately $9.3 million of net charges related to our restructuring programs, consisting primarily of $3.5 million of employee separation charges from our European marketing organization relocation plan and $4.8 million of general workforce reductions. Total Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net, was partially offset by a $3.4 million gain from the sale of assets.
During the first quarter of 2015, we announced that we would relocate our European customer marketing organization from France to Slovakia and Germany. As a result, six positions are expected to be eliminated. We recorded $3.5 million of related employee separation charges during 2015. The impacted employees left the Company during the second half of 2016.
During the third quarter of 2015, management approved and commenced implementation of restructuring actions, primarily targeted workforce reductions. We notified approximately 150 employees of their employment termination, the majority of which had exited by the end of 2015. The total expense for 2015 was $4.8 million.
2014
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we initiated a voluntary retirement program for employees of certain of our former System Solutions Group segment subsidiaries in Japan (the “Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program”). Approximately 350 employees opted to retire under the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, of which all employees had exited by the end of 2014. For 2014, we recognized approximately $10.4 million of employee separation charges related to the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program.
In connection with the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, approximately 70 contractor positions were also identified for elimination, all of which all had exited by the end of 2015. During 2014, an additional 40 positions were identified for elimination, as an extension of the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, consisting of 20 employees and 20 contractors, substantially all of whom had exited by the end of 2014.
As a result of the Q4 2013 Voluntary Retirement Program, we recognized a pension curtailment benefit associated with the affected employees of $4.5 million during 2014, which is recorded in Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
During 2014, we initiated further voluntary retirement activities applicable to an additional 60 to 70 positions for certain of our former System Solutions Group segment subsidiaries in Japan, consisting of employees and contractors. Substantially all personnel had exited under this program by December 31, 2014.
On October 6, 2013, we announced a plan to close KSS (the “KSS Plan”). Pursuant to the KSS Plan, a majority of the production from KSS was transferred to other of our manufacturing facilities. The KSS Plan includes the elimination of approximately 170 full time and 40 contract employees. During 2014, we recorded approximately $7.8 million of employee separation charges and $2.3 million of exit costs related to the KSS Plan.
57
As a result of the KSS facility closure, we recognized a $2.1 million pension curtailment benefit associated with the affected employees during 2014, which was recorded in Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Indefinite and Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges
2016
During 2016, we canceled certain of our previously capitalized IPRD projects and recorded impairment losses of $2.2 million included in the “Goodwill and intangible asset impairment” caption in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
2015
During 2015, we canceled certain of our previously capitalized IPRD projects and recorded impairment losses of $3.8 million included in the “Goodwill and intangible asset impairment” caption in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
2014
During 2014, we determined that approximately $8.7 million in carrying value of goodwill relating to one of our reporting units in the Analog Solutions Group was impaired resulting from a decline in estimated future cash flows. In connection with this impairment, we wrote-off approximately $0.9 million of intangible assets and $4.7 million of other long-lived assets.
See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $95.6 million to $145.3 million during 2016 compared to $49.7 million in 2015, primarily due to the substantial indebtedness incurred in order to acquire Fairchild. Interest expense increased by $15.6 million, or approximately 46%, to $49.7 million during 2015, up from $34.1 million in 2014, primarily due to additional amortization of debt discount on our 1.00% Notes. We expect interest expense to remain substantial in future periods as we service the debt we incurred in connection with the Fairchild Transaction. We recorded amortization of debt discount to interest expense of $26.0 million, $17.5 million and $7.0 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our average gross amount of long-term debt balance (including current maturities) during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2,661.3 million, $1,361.6 million and $1,085.6 million, respectively. Our weighted average interest rate on our gross amount of long-term debt (including current maturities) was approximately 5.5%, 3.7% and 3.1% per annum in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Key Financing and Capital Events” below and Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a description of the indebtedness incurred for the Fairchild Transaction and our refinancing activities.
58
Gain on Divestiture of Business
Gain on divestiture of business was $92.2 million during 2016. On August 29, 2016, the Company sold two lines of business for $104.0 million in cash. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $92.2 million after, among other things, transferring inventory of $4.1 million to Littelfuse, Inc., writing off goodwill of $3.4 million, and deferring $4.3 million of the proceeds to be recognized in the future. See Note 4: “Acquisitions and Divestitures” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further information.
Loss on Modification or Extinguishment of Debt
2016
Loss on modification or extinguishment of debt increased by $5.9 million from $0.4 million to $6.3 million from 2015 to 2016, due to the execution of the First Amendment, which resulted in a debt extinguishment charge of $4.7 million, and the termination and replacement of our senior revolving credit facility by the Revolving Credit Facility, which resulted in a debt modification and write-off of $1.6 million in unamortized debt issuance costs.
2015
During 2015, we amended our senior revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity to $1.0 billion and reset the facility’s five year maturity. As a result of the amendment, we wrote-off $0.4 million of existing debt issuance costs associated with the facility, resulting in a loss during 2016.
Other
Other income decreased by $8.3 million, from income of $7.7 million in 2015 to an expense of $0.6 million in 2016. Other income increased by $12.1 million, from an expense of $4.4 million in 2014 to income of $7.7 million in 2015. The change from year to year is largely attributable to fluctuations in foreign currencies against the dollar for the period, net of the impact from our hedging activity, along with gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
We recorded an income tax benefit of $3.9 million, an income tax provision of $10.8 million and an income tax benefit of $0.2 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The income tax benefit for 2016 consisted primarily of the reversal of $359.8 million of our previously established valuation allowance against part of our U.S. federal and foreign deferred tax assets and the release of $1.9 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during 2016. This is partially offset by $310.8 million related to the reversal of the prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion, $43.5 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations and $3.5 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions.
The income tax provision for 2015 consisted of the reversal of $12.1 million of our previously established valuation allowance against our foreign deferred tax assets, the release of $4.3 million for reserves and interest
59
for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions that were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during 2015, and a change in tax rate that favorably impacted deferred balances by $1.6 million. This is partially offset by $24.4 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations and $4.4 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions.
The income tax benefit for 2014 consisted of the reversal of $23.3 million of our previously established valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of a net deferred tax liability recorded as part of the Truesense acquisition and the reversal of $4.6 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions that were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during 2014. This is partially offset by $19.8 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations, $4.6 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions, and $3.3 million of deferred federal income taxes associated with tax deductible goodwill.
Our effective tax rate for 2016 was a benefit of 2.2%, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the release of our U.S. and Japan valuation allowances, partially offset by the reversal of the prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion. Our effective tax rate for 2015 was a provision of 4.9%, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% primarily due to our change in valuation allowance, deemed dividend income from foreign subsidiaries and tax rate differential in our foreign subsidiaries. Our effective tax rate for 2014 was a benefit of 0.1%, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35%, primarily due to our domestic tax losses and tax rate differential in our foreign subsidiaries.
The consummation of the Fairchild acquisition during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 caused the Company to reassess the prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion because of the U.S. debt incurred to fund the acquisition. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information. This resulted in a change in judgment regarding the future cash flows by jurisdiction and the reversal of prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion. The change in assertion, which resulted in recording a deferred tax liability for future U.S. taxes, had a direct impact on the judgment about the realizability of the U.S. federal deferred tax assets which resulted in a release of valuation allowance. The change in the prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion resulted in an increase to income tax expense of $310.8 million, which was partially offset by a benefit of $267.9 million relating to the release of valuation allowance. The reversal of the prior year’s indefinite reinvestment assertion and release of the U.S. federal valuation allowance did not have an effect on our cash taxes.
We have not made an indefinite reinvestment assertion related to current year foreign earnings. We expect our future tax rate to more approximate the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%. The effect of the increase in the future rate is not anticipated to have an effect on our cash tax until all of our U.S. federal net operating losses and credits have been utilized.
We continue to maintain a valuation allowance on a portion of our foreign tax credits and foreign net operating losses, a substantial portion of which relate to Japan net operating losses which are projected to expire prior to utilization. In addition, we also maintain a valuation allowance on a portion of our U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and a full valuation allowance on our U.S. capital loss carryforwards and U.S. state deferred tax assets.
For additional information, see Note 15: “Income Taxes” in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

| (3) | These represent our off-balance sheet arrangements (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” for a description of our off-balance sheet arrangements). |
The table also excludes our pension obligations. We expect to make cash contributions to comply with local funding requirements and required benefit payments of approximately $12.1 million in 2017. This future payment estimate assumes we continue to meet our statutory funding requirements. The timing and amount of contributions may be impacted by a number of factors, including the funded status of the plans. Beyond 2017, the actual amounts required to be contributed are dependent upon, among other things, interest rates, underlying asset returns and the impact of legislative or regulatory actions related to pension funding obligations. See Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for more information on our pension obligations.
Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $1,028.1 million as of December 31, 2016. We believe that our cash flows from operations, coupled with our existing cash and cash equivalents will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Total cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016 include approximately $399.0 million available in the United States. We require a substantial amount of cash in the United States for operating requirements, debt service, debt repayments and acquisitions. While we hold a significant amount of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries, we have the ability to obtain cash in the United States through distributions from our foreign
61
subsidiaries in order to cover our domestic needs, by utilizing existing credit facilities, or through new bank loans or debt obligations.
See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt,” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a discussion of our long-term debt. See “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a discussion of restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and our stock repurchase activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we enter into various operating leases for buildings and equipment including our mainframe computer system, desktop computers, communications, foundry equipment and service agreements relating to this equipment.
In the normal course of business, we provide standby letters of credit or other guarantee instruments to certain parties initiated by either our subsidiaries or us, as required for transactions including, but not limited to: material purchase commitments; agreements to mitigate collection risk; leases; utilities; and customs guarantees. Our senior revolving credit facility includes $15.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. There were no letters of credit outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2016. We had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit outside of our senior revolving credit facility of $6.7 million at December 31, 2016.
As part of securing financing in the normal course of business, we issued guarantees related to our capital lease obligations, equipment financing, lines of credit and real estate mortgages, which totaled approximately $130.7 million as of December 31, 2016. We are also a guarantor of SCI LLC’s non-collateralized loan with SMBC, which had a balance of $160.4 million as of December 31, 2016.
Based on historical experience and information currently available, we believe that in the foreseeable future we will not be required to make payments under the standby letters of credit or guarantee arrangements.
For our operating leases, we expect to make cash payments and incur similar expenses totaling $148.9 million as payments come due. We have not recorded any liability in connection with these operating leases, letters of credit and guarantee arrangements.
Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify 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 us require us to indemnify the other party against losses due to IP infringement, property damage including environmental contamination, personal injury, failure to comply with applicable laws, our negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of representations and warranties and covenants related to such matters as title to sold assets.
We face 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 economic damages, bodily injury or property damage. In addition, if any of our designed products are alleged to be defective, we may be required to participate in their recall. Depending on the significance of any particular customer and other relevant factors, we may agree to provide more favorable rights to such customer for valid defective product claims.
62
We and our subsidiaries provide for indemnification of directors, officers and other persons in accordance with limited liability agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. We maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
The Fairchild Agreement provides for indemnification and insurance rights in favor of Fairchild’s then current and former directors, officers and employees. Specifically, the Company has agreed that, for no fewer than six years following the Fairchild acquisition, (a) it will indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnitee against losses and expenses (including advancement of attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any proceeding asserted against the indemnified party in connection with such person’s servings as a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of Fairchild or its subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the acquisition, (b) it will maintain in effect all provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries or any other agreements of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries with any indemnified party regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses in existence on the date of the Fairchild Agreement for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition and (c) subject to certain qualifications, it will provide to Fairchild’s then current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition that is no less favorable than Fairchild’s then-existing policy, or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage.
While our 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 our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under any of these indemnities have not had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, and we do not believe that any amounts that we may be required to pay under these indemnities in the future will be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
See “Legal Proceedings” and Note 12: “Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for possible contingencies related to legal matters. See also “Business—Government Regulation” for information on certain environmental matters.
Sources and Uses of Cash
We require cash to fund our operating expenses and working capital requirements, including outlays for strategic acquisitions and investments, research and development, to make capital expenditures, to repurchase our common stock and other Company securities, and to pay debt service, including principal and interest and capital lease payments. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash generated from operations and funds from external borrowings and equity issuances. In the near term, we expect to fund our primary cash requirements through cash generated from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand. We also have the ability to utilize our Revolving Credit Facility.
As part of our business strategy, we review acquisition and divestiture opportunities and proposals on a regular basis.
On September 19, 2016, we completed our acquisition of Fairchild pursuant to the Fairchild Agreement. The purchase price totaled $2,532.2 million and was funded by the borrowings against our Term Loan “B” Facility
63
and Revolving Credit Facility and with cash on hand. See “Business—2016 Acquisition Activity,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information. During 2015 and 2014, we acquired AXSEM, Aptina and Truesense. See Note 4: “Acquisitions and Divestitures” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
We believe that the key factors that could affect our internal and external sources of cash include:
| • | Factors that affect our results of operations and cash flows, including the impact on our business and operations as a result of changes in demand for our products, competitive pricing pressures, effective management of our manufacturing capacity, our ability to achieve further reductions in operating expenses, 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 |
| • | Factors that affect our access to bank financing and the debt and equity capital markets that could impair our ability to obtain needed financing on acceptable terms or to 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. |
Our ability to service our long-term debt, including our 1.00% Notes and 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 general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control.
If we fail to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may need to raise additional equity or borrow additional funds to achieve our longer term objectives. There can be no assurance that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us. We believe that cash flow from operating activities coupled with existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and existing credit facilities will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs, as well as enable us to maintain compliance with our various debt agreements, through at least the next 12 months. To the extent that results or events differ from our financial projections or business plans, our liquidity may be adversely impacted.
During the ordinary course of business, we evaluate our cash requirements and, if necessary, adjust our expenditures for inventory, operating expenditures and capital expenditures to reflect the current market conditions and our projected sales and demand. Our capital expenditures are primarily directed toward production equipment and capacity expansion. Our capital expenditure levels can materially influence our available cash for other initiatives. During 2016, we paid $210.7 million for capital expenditures, while in 2015 we paid $270.8 million. Our current minimum commitment for 2017 is approximately $81.4 million. The capital expenditure levels can materially influence our available cash for other initiatives. Our capital expenditures have historically been approximately 6% to 7% of annual revenues and we expect to continue to incur capital expenditures to support our business activities. Future capital expenditures may be impacted by events and transactions that are not currently forecasted.
64
On April 15, 2016, we entered into two new financing arrangements to secure funds for the purchase consideration of Fairchild among certain other items, including a $2.2 billion Term Loan “B” Facility, with the proceeds deposited into escrow accounts and used to finance the transaction, which occurred on September 19, 2016. On September 30, 2016, we amended the financing arrangements and increased the Term Loan “B” Facility by $200 million. The associated interest expense related to our Term Loan “B” Facility has had, and will continue to have, a material impact to our results of operations throughout the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we issued $690.0 million of our 1.00% Notes and used a portion of the proceeds to pay down amounts previously drawn on our senior revolving credit facility. We also increased the borrowing capacity of our senior revolving credit facility from $800.0 million to $1.0 billion and reset the five year maturity. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
On December 1, 2014, we announced a capital allocation policy (the “Capital Allocation Policy”) under which we intend to return to stockholders approximately 80% of free cash flow less repayments of long-term debt, subject to a variety of factors, including our strategic plans, market and economic conditions and the Board’s discretion. For the purposes of the Capital Allocation Policy, we define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We also announced the 2014 Share Repurchase Program pursuant to the Capital Allocation Policy. Under the 2014 Share Repurchase Program, we intend to repurchase approximately $1.0 billion of our common shares over a four year period, subject to the same factors and considerations described above. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program was effective December 1, 2014, and the $300 million 2012 Stock Repurchase Program was terminated on that date. See “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” for additional information with respect to our share repurchase program.
Cash Management
Our ability to manage cash is limited, as our primary cash inflows and outflows are dictated by the terms of our sales and supply agreements, contractual obligations, debt instruments and legal and regulatory requirements. While we have some flexibility with respect to the timing of capital equipment purchases, we must invest in capital equipment on a timely basis to allow us to maintain our manufacturing efficiency and support our platforms of new products.
Primary Cash Flow Sources
Our long-term cash generation is dependent on the ability of our operations to generate cash. Our cash flows from operating activities were $581.2 million, $470.6 million, and $481.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Our cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased by approximately $110.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to the change in working capital during the period. 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.
Our management of our assets and liabilities, including both working capital and long-term assets and liabilities, also influences our operating cash flows, and each of these components is discussed below.
65
Working Capital
Working capital, calculated as total current assets less total current liabilities, fluctuates depending on end-market demand and our effective management of certain items such as receivables, inventory and payables. In times of escalating demand, our working capital requirements may be affected as we purchase additional manufacturing materials and increase production. Our working capital may also be affected by restructuring programs, which may require us to use cash for severance payments, asset transfers and contract termination costs. In addition, our working capital may be affected by acquisitions and transactions involving our convertible notes and other debt instruments. Our working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, was $338.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and has fluctuated between $33.9 million and $424.0 million at the end of each of our last eight fiscal quarters. Our working capital, including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, was $1,366.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and has fluctuated between $611.8 million and $1,366.5 million over the last eight quarter-ends. Working capital as of December 31, 2015 was impacted by ASU 2015-17, which we prospectively adopted and applied to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and subsequent periods. Periods prior to December 31, 2015 have not been adjusted for the adoption of ASU 2015-17. See Note 3: “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Although investments made to fund working capital will reduce our cash balances, these investments are necessary to support business and operating initiatives. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our working capital was most significantly impacted by the acquisition of Fairchild and the related financing. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” and Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Long-Term Assets and Liabilities
Our long-term assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.
Our manufacturing rationalization plans have included efforts to utilize our existing manufacturing assets and supply arrangements more efficiently. We believe that near-term access to additional manufacturing capacity, should it be required, could be readily obtained on reasonable terms through manufacturing agreements with third parties. We will continue to look for opportunities to make strategic purchases in the future for additional capacity.
Our long-term liabilities, excluding long-term debt and deferred taxes, consist of liabilities under our foreign defined benefit pension plans and contingent tax reserves. In regard to our foreign defined benefit pension plans, generally, our annual funding of these obligations is equal to the minimum amount legally required in each jurisdiction in which the plans operate. This annual amount is dependent upon numerous actuarial assumptions. For additional information, see Note 11: “Employee Benefit Plans” and Note 15: “Income Taxes” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Key Financing and Capital Events
Overview
For the past several years, we have undertaken various measures to secure liquidity to pursue acquisitions, repurchase shares of our common stock, reduce interest costs, amend existing key financing arrangements and, in
66
some cases, extend a portion of our debt maturities to continue to provide us additional operating flexibility. Certain of these measures continued in 2016. Set forth below is a summary of certain key financing events affecting our capital structure during the last three years. For further discussion of our debt instruments see Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” and for further discussion on share repurchase program, see Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Recent Events
2016 Financing Events
On November 17, 2016, we announced that we would be exercising our option to redeem the entire $356.9 million outstanding principal amount of the 2.625% Notes, Series B, on December 20, 2016 pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2.625% Notes, Series B. The holders of the 2.625% Notes, Series B, had the right to convert their 2.625% Notes, Series B, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of 95.2381 shares per $1,000 principal amount until the close of business on December 19, 2016. We satisfied our conversion obligation with respect to the 2.625% Notes, Series B, tendered for conversion with cash. The final conversion was settled on January 26, 2017, resulting in an aggregate payment of approximately $445.0 million for the redemption and conversion of the 2.625% Notes, Series B.
On April 15, 2016, we entered into (1) a $600 million senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $2.2 billion term loan “B” facility (the “Term Loan “B” Facility”), the terms of which are set forth in a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 15, 2016, by and among the Company, as borrower, the several lenders party thereto, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain other parties, and (2) a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) with certain of our domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), pursuant to which the New Credit Agreement was guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured 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 New Credit Agreement are also secured by mortgages on certain real property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Subject to the terms and conditions of the New Credit Agreement, on April 15, 2016, we borrowed an aggregate of $2.2 billion under the Term Loan “B” Facility (the “Gross Proceeds”).
On April 15, 2016, the Gross Proceeds, along with certain other amounts funded by the Company, were deposited into escrow accounts pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement and, upon release from escrow, in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement, were available primarily to pay, directly or indirectly, the purchase price of the Fairchild Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Fairchild Agreement and certain other items, subject to the terms and conditions of the New Credit Agreement.
On September 19, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition and acquired 100% of Fairchild, whereby Fairchild became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company funded the acquisition with the Term Loan “B” Facility proceeds and Company funded amounts previously deposited into escrow accounts, proceeds from a $200.0 million draw against the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, and existing cash on hand. Proceeds from the Term Loan “B” Facility were also used to pay for debt issuance costs, transaction fees and expenses.
On September 30, 2016, the Company, entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the New Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment reduced the applicable margins on
67
Eurocurrency Loans to 2.75% and 3.25% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan “B” Facility, respectively and reduced applicable margins ABR Loans to 1.75% and 2.25% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan “B” Facility, respectively. Additionally, the First Amendment included the following: (i) the Term Loan “B” Facility was increased to $2.4 billion; (ii) certain restructuring transactions and intercompany intellectual property transfers are permitted in order to achieve efficient integration of the Company, its subsidiaries and acquired entities; and (iii) certain changes were made to the provisions regarding hedge agreements to allow the Company and each of the guarantors to enter into certain hedge arrangements. The Company used the additional $200.0 million proceeds under the Term Loan “B” Facility to pay off the Company’s $200.0 million outstanding balance under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.
2015 Financing Events
Issuance of 1.00% Notes
During the second quarter of 2015, we completed a private unregistered offering for an aggregate principal amount of $690.0 million of our 1.00% Notes. The 1.00% Notes mature on December 1, 2020, unless earlier purchased or converted. We concurrently entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with certain institutional counterparties. A portion of the proceeds from the offering were used to finance the hedge and warrant transactions associated with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes, to pay down the senior revolving credit facility and to repurchase $70.0 million of our common stock. The issuance was a private placement made pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
Amended Senior Revolving Credit Facility
During the second quarter of 2015, we amended our $800.0 million senior revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity to $1.0 billion and reset the five year maturity. We also amended the terms of the related Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The facility includes $15.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit, $15.0 million of availability for swingline loans for short-term borrowings and a foreign currency sublimit of $75.0 million. The facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, stock repurchase, and/or acquisitions.
Share Repurchase Program
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we purchased approximately 30.4 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $347.8 million, exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, at a weighted-average execution price of $11.46 per share. See “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” for additional information.
2014 Financing Events
Share Repurchase Program
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we purchased approximately 13.9 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase programs for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $121.0 million, exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, at a weighted-average execution price of $8.71 per share. See “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” for additional information.
68
Amounts Drawn on Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility
During the third quarter of 2014, we drew an incremental amount of approximately $230.0 million to partially fund the purchase of Aptina. The outstanding balance of the facility as of December 31, 2014 was $350.0 million.
Debt Guarantees and Related Covenants
As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with the indentures relating to our 1.00% Notes and our 2.625% Notes, Series B and with covenants relating to our Term Loan “B” Facility, Revolving Credit Facility and various other debt agreements. Our 1.00% Notes are senior to the existing and future subordinated indebtedness of ON Semiconductor and its guarantor subsidiaries. See Note 8: “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.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) measurement of valuation allowances relating to inventories and deferred tax assets; (ii) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and allowances, warranties, and restructuring activities; (iii) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (iv) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (v) evaluations of uncertain tax positions; (vi) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations; and (vi) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, if applicable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue. We generate revenue from sales of our semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. We also generate revenue, to a much lesser extent, from manufacturing and design services provided to customers. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer (generally upon shipment), the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances.
For products sold to distributors who are entitled to returns and allowances (generally referred to as “ship and credit rights” within the semiconductor industry), we recognize the related revenue and cost of revenues depending on if the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor or legacy Fairchild systems and processes. If the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor system and process, revenue is recognized when ON Semiconductor is informed by the distributor that it has resold the products to the end-user. As a result of our inability to reliably estimate up front the effects of the returns and allowances with these distributors for sales
69
originating through an ON Semiconductor system and process, we defer the related revenue and gross margin on sales to these distributors until it is informed by the distributor that the products have been resold to the end-user, at which time the ultimate sales price is known. Legacy Fairchild’s systems and processes enable us to estimate up front the effects of returns and allowances provided to the distributors and thereby record the net revenue at the time of sale related to a legacy Fairchild system and process. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days.
For products sold to non-distributors, sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. Our OEM 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 with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. We review warranty and related claims activities and records provisions, as necessary.
Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense when incurred. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value-added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the statement of operations.
Inventories. We carry our inventories at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market 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. 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 revenues and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously reserved are sold, we will generally recognize a higher than normal margin. However, the majority of product inventory that has been previously reserved is ultimately discarded. Although we do sell some products that have previously been written down, such sales have historically been relatively consistent on a quarterly basis and the related impact on our margins has not been material.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. 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 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. In recent years, most of our asset groups that have been impaired consist of assets that were ultimately abandoned, sold or otherwise disposed of due to cost reduction activities and the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities. In some instances, these assets have subsequently been sold for amounts higher than their impaired value with related gains recorded in the restructuring, asset impairment and other, net line item in our consolidated statement of operations and disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Goodwill. 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 of goodwill consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not
70
that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, we follow a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test to determine if goodwill is impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test 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. Estimates of the future cash flows associated with the businesses are critical to these assessments. The assumptions about future conditions include factors such as future revenues, gross profits, operating expenses, and industry trends. Changes in these estimates based on evolving economic conditions or business strategies could result in material impairment charges in future periods. 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 base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. We consider historical rates and current market conditions when determining the discount and growth rates to use in our analysis.
We have determined that the divisions within our Company, which are components of our operating segments, constitute reporting units for purposes of allocating and testing goodwill. Our divisions are one level below the operating segments, constituting individual businesses, with our segment management conducting regular reviews of the operating results. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets associated with that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets associate with the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If, during this second step, we determine that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
Our next annual test for impairment is expected to be performed on the first day of the fourth quarter of 2017; however, identification of a triggering event may result in the need for earlier reassessments of the recoverability of our goodwill and may result in material impairment charges in future periods.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Related Benefits. We maintain defined benefit pension plans covering certain of our non-U.S. employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs and estimated withdrawal liabilities are determined based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including discount rates for plan obligations, assumed rates of return on pension plan assets and assumed rates of compensation increase for employees participating in the plans. These assumptions are based upon management’s judgment and consultation with actuaries, considering all known trends and uncertainties. Actual results that differ from these assumptions impact the expense recognition and cash funding requirements of our pension plans. As of December 31, 2016, a one percentage point change in the discount rate utilized to determine our continuing foreign pension liabilities and expense for our continuing foreign defined benefit plans would have impacted our results by approximately $4.7 million.
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.
71
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, as well as feasible tax planning strategies for each taxing jurisdiction, 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 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. 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. See Note 15: “Income Taxes” in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for additional information. See also “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Results of Operations - Income Tax Provision (Benefit)” for additional information.

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, 2016, our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $3,622.3 million. We have no interest rate exposure to rate changes on our fixed rate debt, which totaled $1,098.7 million. We do have interest
72
rate exposure with respect to the $2,708.1 million balance on our variable interest rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2016. A 50 basis point increase in interest rates would impact our expected annual interest expense for the next 12 months by approximately $13.5 million. However, some of this impact may be offset by additional interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents should rates on deposits and investments also increase. We enter into interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of variability in cash flows resulting from future interest payments on our variable interest rate debt.
To ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of our foreign exchange hedge positions, we continually monitor our foreign exchange forward positions, both on a stand-alone basis and in conjunction with their underlying foreign currency exposures, from an accounting and economic perspective. However, given the inherent limitations of forecasting and the anticipatory nature of exposures intended to be hedged, we cannot assure 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 United States Dollar as a normal part of the reporting process. 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 currency contracts at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $95.9 million and $89.8 million, respectively. Our policies prohibit speculation on financial instruments, trading in currencies for which there are no underlying exposures, or entering into trades for any currency to intentionally increase the underlying exposure.
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 Japanese Yen, Euros, Korean Won, Malaysian Ringgit, Philippines Peso, Singapore dollars, Swiss Francs, Chinese Renminbi, and Czech Koruna. 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 results would have impacted our income before taxes by approximately $68.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, assuming no offsetting hedge positions.
See Note 14: “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 regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
During 2016, we continued to enhance our controls over revenue to estimate the effects of returns and allowances provided to distributors in anticipation of recording revenue at the time of sale to the distributor originating through the ON Semiconductor processes and aligning our revenue recognition processes between the acquired Fairchild operations and ON Semiconductor in the first half of 2017.
There have been no other 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 quarter ended December 31, 2016 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We continue to integrate Fairchild’s operations into our systems and internal control environment, and expect to complete the integration by the fourth quarter of 2017.
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, 2016. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) 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, 2016.
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 excluded Fairchild, which was acquired by the Company on September 19, 2016. Excluded assets of Fairchild as of December 31, 2016 represent approximately 25% of consolidated assets, and Fairchild’s revenues for the period from September 19, 2016 through December 31, 2016 represents approximately 11% of consolidated revenues.
74
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 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:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ON Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, 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 these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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.
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 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.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, management has excluded Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Fairchild”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 because Fairchild was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2016. We have also excluded Fairchild from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Fairchild is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent 25% and 11%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Background and Basis of Presentation
ON Semiconductor Corporation (“ON Semiconductor”), together with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company realigned its operating and reporting segments into the following three operating and reporting segments: Power Solutions Group, Analog Solutions Group and Image Sensor Group. The operating results of the System Solutions Group, which was previously the Company’s fourth operating and reporting segment, and which did not have goodwill, are now assigned among the three current operating and reporting segments, and previously reported information has been presented to reflect the current three operating and reporting segments. The Company’s Power Solutions Group and Analog Solutions Group operating and reporting segments include the business acquired in the Fairchild Transaction.
Acquisition of Fairchild
On September 19, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fairchild”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Fairchild Agreement”) with each of Fairchild and Falcon Operations Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), which provided for the acquisition of Fairchild by the Company (the “Fairchild Transaction”). Fairchild is a semiconductor company that delivers energy-efficient, easy-to-use and value-added semiconductor solutions for power and mobile designs.
Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies that represent less than 20% of the related ownership interests where the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence are accounted for as cost method investments. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) measurement of valuation allowances relating to trade receivables, inventories and deferred tax assets; (ii) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and allowances, warranties, and restructuring activities; (iii) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (iv) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (v) evaluations of uncertain tax positions; (vi) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations; and (vii) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, if applicable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with reputable major financial institutions. If, due to current economic conditions, one or more of the financial institutions with which the Company maintains deposits fails, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may be at risk. Deposits with these banks generally exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, as a result of the quality of the respective financial institutions, management believes these deposits bear minimal risk.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments include held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities. Held-to-maturity securities have an original maturity to the Company between three months and one year and are carried at amortized cost as it is the intent of the Company to hold these securities until maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value and the net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, the Company provides non-collateralized credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for probable losses on uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company routinely analyzes accounts receivable and considers history, customer creditworthiness, facts and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, current economic trends, and payment term changes when evaluating adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. 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. 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 excess of anticipated demand, is written down, impacting cost of revenues and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously written down are sold, a higher than normal margin will generally be recognized. 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 immaterial and the related impact on the Company’s gross profit has also been immaterial.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 30-50 years for buildings and 3-20 years for machinery and equipment using straight-line methods. Expenditures for
98
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
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 accounts 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 amount 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 are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. 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 high-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. The income approach 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 transactions or offerings for economically comparable assets available as of the valuation date.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the Company’s acquisitions.
The Company evaluates its 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. The Company’s impairment evaluation of goodwill consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company follows a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test to determine if goodwill is impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including 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 and long-term growth rates. The Company determines the fair value of its 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 revenues, gross profits, 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
as the cost approach or market approach, if it is determined that these methods provide a more representative approximation of fair value. Changes in these estimates based on evolving economic conditions or business strategies could result in material impairment charges in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Company has determined that its divisions, which are components of its operating segments, constitute reporting units for purposes of allocating and testing goodwill. The Company’s divisions are one level below the operating segments, constituting individual businesses, with the Company’s segment management conducting regular reviews of the operating results. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets associated with that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets associated with the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If, during this second step, the Company determines that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied value, the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s acquisitions have resulted in intangible assets consisting of values assigned to customer relationships; patents; developed technology; IPRD; and trademarks. These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization, 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. 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 are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. 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 an asset group. The dynamic economic environment in which the Company operates and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of these impairment tests.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is recorded at cost, inclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, when outstanding common shares are repurchased by the Company, including when outstanding shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with certain shares pursuant to restricted stock units under the Company’s share-based compensation plans.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs for line-of-credit agreements, including the Company’s senior revolving credit facility, are capitalized and amortized over the term of the underlying agreements using the effective interest method. Amortization of these debt issuance costs is included in interest expense while the unamortized balance is included in other assets.
100
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Debt issuance costs for the Company’s convertible notes are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the convertible notes, consistent with debt discounts, and are amortized over the term of the convertible notes using the effective interest method. Amortization of these debt issuance costs is included in interest expense.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. The Company also generates revenue, to a much lesser extent, from manufacturing and design services provided to customers.
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer (generally upon shipment), the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances.
For products sold to distributors who are entitled to returns and allowances (generally referred to as “ship and credit rights” within the semiconductor industry), the Company recognizes the related revenue and cost of revenues depending on if the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor or legacy Fairchild systems and processes. If the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor system and process, revenue is recognized when ON Semiconductor is informed by the distributor that it has resold the products to the end-user. As a result of the Company’s inability to reliably estimate up front the effects of the returns and allowances with these distributors for sales originating through an ON Semiconductor system and process, the Company defers the related revenue and gross margin on sales to these distributors until it is informed by the distributor that the products have been resold to the end-user, at which time the ultimate sales price is known. Legacy Fairchild’s systems and processes enable the Company to estimate up front the effects of returns and allowances provided to the distributors and thereby record the net revenue at the time of sale related to a legacy Fairchild system and process. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days.
For products sold to non-distributors, sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. The Company’s OEM 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 with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activities and records provisions, as necessary.
Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense when incurred. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value-added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the statement of operations.
Warranty Reserves and Discounts
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
101
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
for a period that is the greater of (i) two years from the date of shipment or (ii) the period of time specified in the customer’s standard warranty (provided that the customer’s standard warranty is stated in writing and extended to purchasers at no additional charge). At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with its sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. In addition, the Company also offers cash discounts to certain customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally ten days after shipment. The Company records a reserve for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on experience with each customer.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company has outstanding awards with performance, time and service-based vesting provisions.
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.
In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, estimated future taxable income, as well as feasible tax planning strategies for each taxing jurisdiction 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. 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
102
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
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 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 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.
The majority 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 revenues 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. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs and pension obligations are determined based upon a number of 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.
Contingencies
The Company is involved in a variety of legal matters, intellectual property matters, environmental, financing and indemnification contingencies that arise in the normal course of business. Based on 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.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures certain of its financial and non-financial assets at fair value by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes certain inputs into individual fair value measurement approaches. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which
103
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
| • | Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and |
| • | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Companies may choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected must be reported in earnings. The Company has elected not to carry any of its debt instruments at fair value.
Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU’s Adopted:
ASU No. 2015-17 - “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”)
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, which requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company elected early adoption as of the interim period beginning October 3, 2015, effective for the annual period ended December 31, 2015, and selected the prospective application. Prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted.
ASU 2015-05 - “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” (“ASU 2015-05”)
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, which provides guidance regarding the accounting for fees paid by a customer in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2015-05 amended ASC 350-40-25-16 by removing the language that stated licenses for internal-use software from third parties should be analogized to the subtopic 840-10 Leases. If a cloud computing arrangement includes the transfer of a software license, then the customer would account for the payment of fees as an acquisition of software. If there is no software license, the payment of fees would be accounted for as a service contract. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either prospectively for all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date, or retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2015-05 as of the quarter ended April 1, 2016 and selected the prospective application. There was no material impact to the financial statements.

ASU No. 2015-03 - “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”) and ASU No. 2015-15 - “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements” (“ASU 2015-15”)
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, which clarified that ASU 2015-03 does not address debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit agreements and stated that the SEC staff would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement, consistent with existing guidance.
The Company elected early adoption of ASU 2015-03 as of the year ended December 31, 2015, applicable to debt issuance costs related to its convertible notes, and retrospectively adjusted certain prior year amounts to reflect the effects of applying the new guidance. Pursuant to ASU 2015-15, debt issuance costs relating to the Company’s revolving credit facility have been deferred and are included in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
ASU No. 2014-15 - “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”)
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, which requires management to evaluate, in connection with financial statement preparation for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the financial statements.
ASUs Pending Adoption:
ASU No. 2016-18 - “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2016-18”)
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU does not define the terms “restricted cash” and “restricted cash equivalents.” The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-18 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016.

ASU No. 2016-16 - “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” (“ASU 2016-16”)
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The income tax consequences from the sale of inventory from one member of a consolidated entity to another will continue to be deferred until the inventory is sold to a third party. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-16 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016.
ASU No. 2016-15 - “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”)
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which changes how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016.
ASU No. 2016-09 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”)
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, which is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016, however expects the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements based on excess tax deductions from employee equity exercises that are part of net operating losses as of December 31, 2016. See Note 15: “Income Taxes” for further information.
ASU No. 2016-02 - “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Early

ASU No. 2016-01 - “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”)
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2015-11 - “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”)
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which requires that an entity should measure in-scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to be material on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016.
ASU No. 2014-09 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), ASU No. 2015-14 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), ASU No. 2016-08 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations” (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU No. 2016-10 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”) ASU No. 2016-12 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”) and ASU No. 2016-20 - “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”)
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards, superseding the existing revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Pursuant to ASU 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange, as applied through a multi-step process to achieve that core principle. Subsequently, the FASB approved a deferral included in ASU 2015-14 that permits public entities to apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein, and that would also permit public entities to elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date as applicable to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new guidance allows for the amendment to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.

March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which clarifies identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, which improves certain aspects of ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, which improves certain aspects of ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09.
As described in Note 2: “Significant Accounting Policies” the Company defers the revenue and cost of revenues on sales to certain distributors until it is informed by the distributor that the distributor has resold the products to the end customer. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, the Company believes one of the more significant impacts will be that it is no longer permitted to defer revenue until sale by the distributor to the end customer, but rather, will be required to estimate the effects of returns and allowances provided to distributors and record revenue at the time of sale to the distributor. In anticipation of the adoption of the new standards, the Company has been developing its internal systems, processes and controls for making the required estimates. While the Company previously intended to early adopt the standard on January 1, 2017, the Company is still evaluating other aspects of the standard (non ship & credit related) and decided it will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018.
Note 4: Acquisitions and Divestitures
The Company pursues strategic acquisitions from time to time to leverage its existing capabilities and further build its business. Such acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Accordingly, 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, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $25.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, which are included in operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
2016 Acquisition
On September 19, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (“Fairchild”), whereby Fairchild became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price totaled $2,532.2 million in cash and was funded by the Company’s borrowings against its Term Loan “B” Facility and a partial draw of the Revolving Credit Facility, as well as with cash on hand. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” for additional information. The Company acquired Fairchild to expand its product offerings and to create a power semiconductor leader with strong capabilities in a rapidly consolidating semiconductor industry. The acquisition of Fairchild adds highly complementary product lines, allowing the Company to offer the full spectrum of high, medium and low voltage products and expands ON Semiconductor’s footprint in wireless communication products, particularly in high efficiency power conversions and USB Type C communication and power delivery. The acquisition also provides the Company with a platform to expand its profitability in a highly fragmented industry.
For the period from September 19, 2016 to December 31, 2016 the Company recognized revenue of $411.5 million and net loss of $34.5 million relating to Fairchild, which included charges for the amortization of fair market value step-up of inventory of $67.5 million, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring.

During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded certain measurement period adjustments to the initial estimated purchase price allocation. These adjustments resulted in an immaterial impact to depreciation and amortization expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as Fairchild was in the Company’s combined results for only 12 days.
These adjustments were among those expected to be made to the initial estimated purchase price allocation based on information obtained during the measurement period and are properly reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.
Acquired intangible assets include $134.2 million of IPRD assets, which are to be amortized over the useful life upon successful completion of the related projects. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by considering the importance of products under development to the overall development plan, estimating costs to develop the purchased IPRD into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The Company utilized a discount rate of 14.5% and cash flows from its significant products are expected to commence from 2017 and beyond.
Other acquired intangible assets of $413.6 million are developed technology of $272.7 million (eleven year weighted-average useful life), customer relationships of $135.5 million (fifteen year useful life) and backlog of $3.0 million (six month useful life).
The total weighted average amortization period for the acquired intangibles is 12.1 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
The acquisition produced $656.1 million of goodwill of which $366.1 million was assigned to the Power Solutions Group and $289.9 million to the Analog Solutions Group. Goodwill is attributable to a combination of Fairchild’s assembled workforce, expectation regarding a more meaningful engagement by the customers due to the scale of the combined Company, and other synergies. Goodwill arising from the Fairchild acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred $24.7 million in acquisition related costs for the Fairchild acquisition. These costs were recorded in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
See Note 12: “Commitments and Contingencies” for information on contingent liabilities assumed from the acquisition of Fairchild.

2016 Divestitures
On August 25, 2016, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) accepted a proposed consent order whereby, prior to the closing of the acquisition of Fairchild, the FTC required the Company to dispose of its ignition planar insulated gate bipolar transistor (“IGBT”) business. In satisfaction of this requirement, on August 29, 2016, the Company sold the ignition IGBT business to Littelfuse, Inc. (“Littelfuse”). On the same day the Company sold its transient voltage suppression diode and switching thyristor product lines (“Thyristor”) to Littelfuse. The sale of the ignition IGBT and Thyristor businesses was for $104.0 million in cash. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $92.2 million after, among other things, transferring inventory of $4.1 million to Littelfuse, writing off goodwill of $3.4 million, and deferring $4.3 million of the proceeds representing the fair value of manufacturing services to be recognized in the future. This gain has been presented separately as “Gain on divestiture of business” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
On December 19, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with HSET Electronic Tech (Hong Kong) Limited to sell certain assets including inventory, technology and licenses related to its Mobile CIS business for $75 million. The proceeds for the divestiture are scheduled to be received in multiple installments in 2017. As the deliverables are due only upon the receipt of each instalment, the divestiture will be accounted for in 2017. The inventory is under production and the technology assets have been classified as assets held for sale and included within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. The Company has $13.9 million of inventory that is currently under production which will be sold when the manufacturing process is complete.
2015 Acquisition
Axsem
On July 15, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of AXSEM for $8.0 million in cash consideration, plus an additional unlimited contingent consideration (the “Earn-out”) with a fair value of $5.0 million as of July 15, 2015. The unlimited Earn-out payment, if any, is based on the achievement of certain revenue targets during two separate measurement periods consisting of the following: (i) the period from the first day of the Company’s third fiscal quarter of 2016 to the last day of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2017; and (ii) the period from the first day of the Company’s third fiscal quarter of 2017 to the last day of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2016, due to the revisions of the Company’s expectations of the Earn-out achievement, the Earn-out estimated fair value was reduced by $0.5 million to $4.5 million.
2014 Acquisitions
Aptina
On August 15, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of Aptina for approximately $405.4 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, of which approximately $2.9 million was paid during the first quarter of 2015. As discussed below, a portion of the $40.0 million of the total consideration remained in escrow as of December 31, 2016. Aptina is incorporated into the Company’s Image Sensor Group for reporting purposes. For the period from August 15, 2014 to December 31, 2014, the Company’s results of operations include approximately $209.0 million of revenue and a $39.2 million net loss attributable to the acquisition of Aptina, which includes $22.3 million of charges for the amortization of the inventory adjustment to fair market value, $25.5 million for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and $5.9 million for business combination severance charges. The Company expects the acquisition of Aptina to expand the Company’s image-sensor business and further strengthen the Company’s position in the fast growing segment of image sensors in the automotive and industrial end-markets. The allocation of the purchase price of Aptina was finalized during the quarter ended April 3, 2015.
Acquired intangible assets include $51.3 million of IPRD assets, which are to be amortized over the useful life upon successful completion of the related projects. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by considering the importance of products under development to the overall development plan, estimating costs to develop the purchased IPRD into commercially viable products, reviewing costs incurred for the projects, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Other acquired intangible assets of $207.8 million include: customer relationships of $126.5 million (two to six year useful life); developed technology of $79.0 million (six year useful life); and trademarks of $2.3 million (six month useful life).
Goodwill of $64.4 million was assigned to the Image Sensor Group. Among the factors that contributed to goodwill arising from the acquisition were the potential synergies that are expected to be derived from combining Aptina with the Company’s existing image sensor business. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger between the Company and the sellers of Aptina (the “Merger Agreement”), $40.0 million of the total consideration was withheld by the Company upon closing and placed into an escrow account to secure against certain indemnifiable events described in the Merger Agreement. The $40.0 million of consideration held in escrow was accounted for as restricted cash as of December 31, 2014. During 2016 and 2015, $1.0 million and $21.2 million of the escrow was released, respectively, with $17.8 million and $18.8 million remaining as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The remaining escrow amounts will be released upon satisfaction of certain outstanding conditions contained in the Merger Agreement. All escrow amounts are treated as restricted cash and are included in other current assets and accrued expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 5: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level which is one level below the Company’s operating segments. During the first step of the Company’s annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill for all of its reporting units was recoverable and no step 2 tests were required for any reporting unit.
The Company uses the income approach, based on estimated future cash flows, to perform the goodwill impairment test. These estimates include assumptions about future conditions such as future revenues, gross profits, operating expenses, and industry trends. The Company considers other valuation methods, such as the cost approach or market approach, if it determines that these methods provide a more representative approximation of fair value. The material assumptions used for the income approach for periods when no impairment was necessary included projected net cash flows, a weighted-average discount rate of approximately 10.5%, and a weighted-average long-term growth rate of 3%. The Company considered historical rates and current market conditions when determining the discount and growth rates to use in the Company’s analysis. As noted above, there were no impairment charges as a result of the annual impairment analysis in 2016.
During the Company’s annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company determined that the fair values of certain of its reporting units were less than the carrying value. As a result of the 2014 impairment analysis, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million relating to one of its reporting units in the Analog Solutions Group operating segment.

Post-Fairchild Acquisition Restructuring Costs
On September 19, 2016, following the acquisition of Fairchild, the Company approved the implementation of a cost-reduction plan, the first step of which was to eliminate approximately 130 positions from its workforce as a result of redundancies and position eliminations. The restructuring expense of $25.7 million, which was primarily attributable to severance and termination benefits, was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2016, of which $20.2 million was paid during the year. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, another 95 positions were eliminated. Accrued severance for these two programs were $5.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and is expected to be paid during the first two quarters of 2017. The Company will continue to evaluate the remaining positions for redundancies and may incur additional charges in the future.
General Workforce Reductions
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company approved and began to implement certain restructuring actions, primarily targeted at workforce reductions. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had notified 150 employees of their employment termination, all of which had exited by December 31, 2016. The total expense for the program was $5.1 million, with no additional expenses expected. The Company paid $1.3 million and $3.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there is no remaining unpaid liability due to the completion of the program.
Former System Solutions Group Segment Voluntary Workforce Reduction
During March 2016, the Company announced a voluntary resignation program for the former System Solutions Group. A total of 75 employees volunteered and signed employee separation agreements as of the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The total expense of the plan was $5.3 million and all employees were paid during the year. All of the employees have exited as of December 31, 2016. No further expenses are expected and there is no remaining unpaid liability due to the completion of this plan.

Manufacturing Relocation
During March 2016, the Company announced a plan to relocate certain of its manufacturing operations to another existing location. The transition will occur through 2017. Approximately 160 employees will be impacted by the relocation. The total expense, consisting of retention and severance, is expected to be approximately $5.7 million and the accrued balance as of December 31, 2016 was $2.1 million. A majority of the employees are expected to exit during the second half of 2017.
European Marketing Organization Relocation
In January 2015, the Company announced that it would relocate its European customer marketing organization from France to Slovakia and Germany. As a result, six positions were eliminated and the total expense of the plan was $3.5 million, with no additional expenses expected. The Company did not record any related employee separation charges during the year ended December 31, 2016. All impacted employees have exited as of 2016. The Company paid $2.9 million and $0.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there is no remaining unpaid liability due to the completion of this program.

Fairchild Transaction Financing
On April 15, 2016, the Company obtained capital for the Fairchild Transaction purchase consideration and other general corporate purposes by entering into (1) a $600 million senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $2.2 billion term loan “B” facility (the “Term Loan “B” Facility”), the terms of which are set forth in a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 15, 2016, by and among the Company, as borrower, the several lenders party thereto, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain other parties, and (2) a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) with certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), pursuant to which the New Credit Agreement was guaranteed by the Guarantors and collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, including a pledge
123
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
of the equity interests in certain of the Company’s domestic and first-tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. The obligations under the New Credit Agreement are also collateralized by mortgages on certain real property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds from the Term Loan “B” Facility, along with $67.7 million funded by the Company, were deposited into escrow accounts and included within restricted cash on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet until the close of the Fairchild Transaction. Upon the close of the Fairchild Transaction, the Company’s then current senior revolving credit facility (the “Facility” as defined below under “2015 Revolver Amendment” and further described below under “Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility”) was terminated and replaced by the Revolving Credit Facility, which became immediately available to the Company.
The acquisition of Fairchild was funded with proceeds from the Term Loan “B” Facility and Company funded amounts previously deposited into escrow accounts, proceeds from a $200.0 million draw against the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, and existing cash on hand. Proceeds from the Term Loan “B” Facility were also used to pay for debt issuance costs, transaction fees and expenses.
Amendment of the New Credit Agreement
On September 30, 2016, the Company, the Guarantors, the several lenders party thereto and the Agent entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the New Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment reduced the applicable margins on Eurocurrency Loans to 2.75% and 3.25% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan “B” Facility, respectively, and reduced applicable margins on ABR Loans to 1.75% and 2.25% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan “B” Facility, respectively. Additionally, the First Amendment included the following: (i) the Term Loan “B” Facility was increased to $2.4 billion, (ii) certain restructuring transactions and intercompany intellectual property transfers are permitted in order to achieve efficient integration of the Company, its subsidiaries and acquired entities; and (iii) certain changes were made to the provisions regarding hedge agreements to allow the Company and each of the Guarantors to enter into certain hedge arrangements that shall be deemed to be “obligations” for purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement which may be collateralized by the collateral granted pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Company used the additional $200.0 million proceeds under the Term Loan “B” Facility to pay off the outstanding balance under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Term Loan “B” Facility matures on March 31, 2023 and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on September 19, 2021. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has borrowed an aggregate of $2.4 billion under the Term Loan “B” Facility. The Term Loan “B” Facility had an original issuance discount (“OID”) of $33.0 million, which was withheld from the proceeds. The OID is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Term Loan “B” Facility.
All borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement may, at the Company’s option, be incurred as either eurocurrency loans (“Eurocurrency Loans”) or alternate base rate loans (“ABR Loans”). Eurocurrency Loans will accrue interest for any interest period ending after the date of the First Amendment, at (a) a base rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus (b) an applicable margin equal to (i) 2.75% with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) 3.25% with respect to borrowings under the Term Loan “B” Facility. ABR Loans will accrue interest, for any interest period ending
124
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
after the date of the First Amendment, at (a) a base rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (ii) the prime commercial lending rate announced by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, from time to time as its prime lending rate and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period (determined after giving effect to any applicable “floor”) plus 1.00%; provided that, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), subject to the interest rate floors set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement plus (b) an applicable margin equal to (i) 1.75% with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) 2.25% with respect to borrowings under the Term Loan “B” Facility. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will vary based on a defined net leverage ratio, which is defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. After the completion of the Company’s first full fiscal quarter occurring six months after the closing date of the Fairchild Transaction, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be decreased if the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio decreases.
The Amended Credit Agreement also requires us to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which will be a minimum of 0.25% and a maximum of 0.35%, depending on the Company’s defined net leverage ratio.
The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured 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 mortgages on certain real property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.
The Term Loan “B” Facility requires quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Term Loan “B” Facility starting December 2016. At the maturity date of the Term Loan “B” Facility, any remaining unpaid principal amount shall be due and payable in full.
The Amended Credit Agreement includes financial maintenance covenants including a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. It also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of December 31, 2016.
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to prepay the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) generated within ten days from the submission of the compliance certificate. The prepayment is applied against the remaining installments of the Term Loan “B” Facility in direct order of maturity. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Excess Cash Flow generated was $37.2 million and is included within current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Debt Extinguishment, Modification, and Issuance Costs
As further described below, the Company recognized a loss of $6.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the extinguishment of certain of its credit facilities.
New Credit Agreement Amendment
The Company incurred debt issuance costs consisting of legal, underwriting and other fees of $66.6 million related to the Term Loan “B” Facility, including $22.0 million toward lender fees for the First Amendment. A

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
portion of the debt issuance costs were paid directly from escrowed funds per the terms of the escrow agreement and is reflected as a non-cash activity. See Note 17: “Supplemental Disclosures” for more information. The Company recorded the Term Loan “B” Facility debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt and is amortizing them using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. The Company performed a debt extinguishment vs. modification analysis on a lender by lender basis upon the execution of the First Amendment. The Company recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016, which included a $0.3 million write off of unamortized debt issuance costs, $4.3 million in third party fees, and $0.1 million of lender fees.
The Company incurred debt issuance costs consisting of legal, underwriting and other fees of $8.2 million for the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company recognized the Revolving Credit Facility underwriter fees and debt issuance costs as deferred costs, which are included in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company amortizes these deferred costs on a straight line basis over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility from the acquisition closing date, which was the date the revolver became available to the Company. The Company accounted for the termination and replacement of its senior revolving credit facility by the Revolving Credit Facility as a debt modification and wrote off $1.6 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The remaining unamortized costs of $2.0 million related to the terminated senior revolving credit facility are being amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
2015 Revolver Amendment
On May 1, 2015, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCI LLC, entered into an amendment to the $800.0 million, five-year senior revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 10, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company and a group of lenders. The amendment expanded the borrowing capacity of the Facility to $1.0 billion and reset the five-year maturity date. The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes including working capital, stock repurchase, and/or acquisitions. At issuance, the Company recorded $2.1 million of new debt issuance costs and wrote-off $0.4 million of existing debt issuance costs associated with the Facility, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment during the year ended December 31, 2015.
Note Payable to SMBC
On January 31, 2013, the Company amended and restated its seven-year, non-collateralized loan obligation with SANYO Electric. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the loan agreement, SANYO Electric assigned all of its rights under the loan agreement to SMBC. The loan had an original principal amount of approximately $377.5 million and had a principal balance of $160.4 million and $198.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum and provides for quarterly interest and $9.4 million in principal payments, with the unpaid balance of $122.7 million due in January 2018.
Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility
On May 1, 2015, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCI LLC, entered into an amendment to the Facility pursuant to the Credit Agreement among the Company and a group of lenders. The amendment expanded the borrowing capacity of the Facility to $1.0 billion and reset the five-year maturity date. The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes including working capital, stock repurchase, and/or acquisitions.
126
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
On June 1, 2015, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCI LLC, entered into a second amendment of the Facility that provides for, among other things, modifications to the Facility to allow for the issuance by the Company of its convertible senior notes, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, and to permit the Company to enter into certain hedging transactions relating to such notes or otherwise. In addition, the second amendment provides for the release of the pledged stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries upon the issuance of the convertible senior notes.
The Facility includes $15.0 million availability for the issuance of letters of credit, $15.0 million availability for swingline loans for short-term borrowings and a foreign currency sublimit of $75.0 million. The Company has the ability to increase the size of the Facility in increments of $10.0 million provided that the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $500.0 million.
Payments of the principal amounts of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement are due no later than May 1, 2020, which is the maturity date of the Facility. Interest is payable based on either a LIBOR or base rate option, as established at the commencement of each borrowing period, plus an applicable rate that varies based on the total leverage ratio. The Company has also agreed to pay the lenders certain fees, including a commitment fee that varies based on the total leverage ratio. The Company may prepay loans under the Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, upon payment of accrued interest and break funding payments, if applicable.
The obligations under the Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s and SCI LLC’s domestic subsidiaries and prior to the issuance of the 1.00% Notes, were collateralized by a pledge of the equity interests in certain of the Company’s and SCI LLC’s domestic subsidiaries and material first tier foreign subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for credit agreements of this nature. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, investments and transactions with affiliates. The Company’s business combinations described in Note 4: “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” represent permitted activities pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains only two financial covenants: (i) a maximum total leverage ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other adjustments described in the Credit Agreement (“consolidated EBITDA”) for the trailing four consecutive quarters of 3.75 to 1.00; and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for the trailing four consecutive quarters of 3.50 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgment defaults, ERISA defaults and a change of control default. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with the various covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2015 and for the period of time in 2016 when the Facility was available to the Company.
As discussed above, upon the close of the Fairchild Transaction, the Facility was terminated and replaced by the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings on the Facility during 2015 and for the period of time in 2016 when the Facility was available to the Company. There were no debt issuance costs associated with the Facility as of December 31, 2016.

The Company incurred issuance costs of $18.3 million in connection with the issuance of the notes, of which $15.4 million were recorded as debt issuance costs and are being amortized using the effective interest method and $2.9 million were allocated to the conversion option (as further described below) and were recorded to equity. The 1.00% Notes are governed by an indenture between the Company, as the issuer, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.
The Company’s use of the net proceeds from the offering included the following: (i) the funding of the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions described below (the cost of which was partially offset by the proceeds that the Company received from entering into the warrant transactions described below); (ii) funding the repurchase of $70.0 million of the Company’s common stock which was acquired from purchasers of the 1.00% Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected through one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates conducted concurrently with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes; and (iii) repayment of $350.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The remainder of the proceeds was intended for general corporate purposes, including additional share repurchases and potential acquisitions.
The notes bear interest at the rate of 1.00% per year from the date of issuance, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2015. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured obligation basis by certain existing subsidiaries of the Company.
The notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 54.0643 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $18.50 per share of common stock. The Company will settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if applicable, subject to the Company’s right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders may convert their notes only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2015, if the last reported sale price of common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) 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 business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (iii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the indenture relating to the notes; or (iv) on and after September 1, 2020. Upon conversion of the notes, the Company will deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election. For a discussion of the dilutive effects for earnings per share calculations, see Note 9: “Earnings Per Share and Equity.”
The notes will mature on December 1, 2020. If a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes that occur prior to September 1, 2020, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to cash and shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate, an additional number of shares of common stock, in each case as described in the indenture. Notwithstanding these conversion rate adjustments, these notes contain an explicit limit on the number of shares issuable upon conversion.

In connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The notes, which are the Company’s unsecured obligations, will rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated obligations. The notes will also be effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. ON Semiconductor was the sole issuer of the 1.00% Notes.
In accordance with accounting guidance on embedded conversion features, the Company valued and bifurcated the conversion option associated with the 1.00% Notes from the respective host debt instrument, which is referred to as the debt discount, and initially recorded the conversion option of $110.4 million in stockholders’ equity. The resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense at an effective interest rate of 4.29% over the contractual terms of the notes.
The Company used $56.9 million of the net proceeds from the offering of its 1.00% Notes to concurrently enter into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the 1.00% Notes. Pursuant to these transactions, the Company has the option to purchase initially (subject to adjustment for certain specified transactions) a total of 37.3 million shares of its common stock at a price of $18.50 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $108.9 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants to certain bank counterparties whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase initially (subject to adjustment for certain specified events) a total of 37.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $25.96 per share. The Company received $52.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants.
In aggregate, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and the sale of the warrants are intended to offset potential dilution from the conversion of these notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The net cost incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions was recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. A portion of the shares subject to the conversion of the 1.00% Notes and hedging transactions were reserved in the form of the Company’s treasury stock.
2.625% Notes, Series B
On March 22, 2013, the Company completed its final exchange offer for its 2.625% Notes in exchange for its 2.625% Notes, Series B. Subject to certain other terms and conditions, these exchanges extended the first put date for the exchanged amounts from December 2013 to December 2016. The 2.625% Notes, Series B bore interest at the rate of 2.625% per year from the date of issuance. Interest was payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2.625% Notes, Series B were fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a non-collateralized senior subordinated basis by certain existing domestic subsidiaries of the Company. ON Semiconductor was the sole issuer of the 2.625% Notes, Series B.
The 2.625% Notes, Series B were convertible by holders into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 95.2381 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment

upon the occurrence of certain events), which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.50 per share of common stock. The Company would settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if applicable, subject to the Company’s right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders had the option to convert their 2.625% Notes, Series B under the following circumstances: (i) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 103% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (ii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the Indenture relating to the 2.625% Notes, Series B; or (iii) after June 15, 2016.
On November 17, 2016, the Company announced that it would be exercising its option to redeem the entire $356.9 million outstanding principal amount of the 2.625% Notes, Series B on December 20, 2016 pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2.625% Notes, Series B. The holders of the 2.625% Notes, Series B had the right to convert their 2.625% Notes, Series B into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of 95.2381 shares per $1,000 principal amount until the close of business on December 19, 2016. The Company satisfied its conversion obligation with respect to the 2.625% Notes, Series B tendered for conversion with cash. The final conversion was settled on January 26, 2017, resulting in an aggregate payment of approximately $445 million for the redemption and conversion of the 2.625% Notes, Series B. The equity component of the 2.625% Notes, Series B amounting to $32.9 million, representing the amounts previously recorded to additional paid in capital has been reclassified to mezzanine equity as of December 31, 2016.
Debt issuance costs associated with the 2.625% Notes, Series B are amortized using the effective interest method through December 2016. The Company determined that the conversion option based on a trading price condition met the definition of a derivative, and should be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately. The fair value of this feature was determined to be de minimis at the date of issuance and continued to be so through December 31, 2016.
Philippine Term Loans
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company’s wholly-owned Philippine subsidiaries and ON Semiconductor, as guarantor, entered into two non-collateralized term loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $50.0 million, the terms of which were set forth in agreements by and between the Company’s Philippine subsidiaries and a Philippine bank. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company borrowed the full $50.0 million available under the term loans. Borrowings under the loans bear interest based on 3-month LIBOR plus 2.0% per annum, with interest payable quarterly in arrears. The total borrowed amount must be repaid within five years over 17 equal quarterly principal installments starting at the end of the fourth quarter from the initial drawdown date.
U.S. Real Estate Mortgages
On August 4, 2014, one of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with a Scottish Bank for approximately $49.4 million, which was collateralized by certain of the Company’s real estate. The loan bears interest payable monthly at an interest rate of approximately 3.12% per annum, with a balloon payment of approximately $26.7 million in 2019.

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and assumed issuance of shares relating to restricted stock units is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Share-based awards whose impact is considered to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation. The excluded number of anti-dilutive share-based awards was approximately 1.7 million, 1.3 million and 6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The dilutive impact related to the Company’s 1.00% Notes and 2.625% Notes, Series B is determined in accordance with the net share settlement requirements prescribed by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Under the net share settlement calculation, the Company’s Convertible Notes are assumed to be convertible into cash up to the par value, with the excess of par value being convertible into common stock. A dilutive effect occurs when the stock price exceeds the conversion price for each of the convertible notes. In periods when the share price is lower than the conversion price, including 2014, the impact is anti-dilutive and therefore has no impact on the Company’s earnings per share calculations. Additionally, if the average price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $25.96 per share for a reporting period, the Company will also include the effect of the additional potential shares, using the treasury stock method, that may be issued related to the warrants that were issued concurrently with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes. 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 1.00% Notes when the stock price is above $18.50 per share. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” for a discussion of the conversion prices and other features of the 1.00% Notes and the 2.625% Notes, Series B.

Share Repurchase Program
Effective August 1, 2012, the Company implemented a share repurchase program for up to $300.0 million of its common stock over a three year period, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. This program was terminated on December 1, 2014 with approximately $46.3 million remaining of the total authorized amount.
On December 1, 2014, the Company announced a capital allocation policy (the “Capital Allocation Policy”) under which the Company intends to return to stockholders approximately 80 percent of free cash flow, less repayments of long-term debt, subject to a variety of factors, including our strategic plans, market and economic conditions and the Board’s discretion. For the purposes of the Capital Allocation Policy, the Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. The Company also announced a new share repurchase program (the “2014 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to the Capital Allocation Policy. Under the 2014 Share Repurchase Program, the Company intends to repurchase approximately $1.0 billion of its common shares over a four year period, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses, subject to the same factors and considerations described above. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program was effective December 1, 2014.
There were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock under its share repurchase program during the year ended December 31, 2016 as the Company focused on building up cash reserves for the Fairchild Transaction, which was completed on September 19, 2016.

Shares for Restricted Stock Units Tax Withholding
Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Shares, with a fair market value equal to the applicable statutory minimum amount of the employee withholding taxes due, are withheld by the Company upon the vesting of restricted stock units to pay the applicable statutory minimum amount of employee withholding taxes and are considered common stock repurchases. The Company then pays the applicable statutory minimum amount of withholding taxes in cash. The amounts remitted in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $12.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld approximately 1.3 million and 1.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the restricted stock units that vested. None of these shares had been reissued or retired as of December 31, 2016, but may be reissued or retired by the Company at a later date.
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company’s entity which operates assembly and test operations in Leshan, China is owned by a joint venture company, Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited (“Leshan”). The Company owns 80%, of the outstanding equity interests in Leshan and its investment in Leshan has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.
At December 31, 2016, the non-controlling interest balance was $21.8 million. This balance included the non-controlling interest’s $2.4 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2016 offset by $4.3 million of dividends paid to the non-controlling shareholder.
At December 31, 2015, the non-controlling interest balance was $23.7 million. This balance included the non-controlling interest’s $2.8 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2015.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company acquired an additional 10% of the outstanding equity interest in Leshan for approximately $20.4 million, which was greater than the $10.1 million carrying value of the representative interest in Leshan at the time of the transaction. The Company recorded the $10.3 million difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2014. This balance was further decreased to $20.9 million at December 31, 2014 due to the non-controlling interest’s $2.4 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014, offset by approximately $4.2 million of dividends paid to the non-controlling stockholder.

At December 31, 2016, total unrecognized estimated share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock options was less than $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years. At December 31, 2016, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock units with time-based service conditions and performance-based vesting criteria was $61.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $6.8 million. The Company recorded cash received from the exercise of stock options of $14.9 million and cash from the issuance of shares under the ESPP of $15.0 million and no related tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2016. Upon option exercise, release of restricted stock units, 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 time based and performance based RSU and stock grant award is determined on the grant date and is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model. The lattice-based model uses: (1) a constant volatility; (2) an employee exercise behavior model (based on an analysis of historical exercise behavior); and (3) the treasury yield curve to calculate the fair value of each option grant.
There were no employee stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income 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. Pre-vesting forfeitures for stock options were estimated to be approximately 11% in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014,
135

respectively. Pre-vesting forfeitures for restricted stock units were estimated to be approximately 5% in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Plan Descriptions
On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 SIP”) which provided key employees, directors and consultants with various equity-based incentives as described in the plan document. Prior to February 17, 2010, stockholders had approved amendments to the 2000 SIP which increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved and available for grant to 30.5 million, plus an additional number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 3% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock effective automatically on January 1st of each year beginning January 1, 2005 and ending January 1, 2010. On February 17, 2010, the 2000 SIP expired and the Company ceased granting under the plan. Options granted pursuant to the 2000 SIP that remain outstanding continue to be exercisable or subject to vesting pursuant to the underlying option agreements.
On March 23, 2010, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated SIP, which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual stockholder meeting on May 18, 2010. The Amended and Restated SIP provides key employees, directors and consultants with various equity-based incentives as described in the plan document. The Amended and Restated SIP is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which is authorized to determine, among other things, the key employees, directors or consultants who will receive awards under the plan, the amount and type of award, exercise prices or performance criteria, if applicable, and vesting schedules. On May 15, 2012, stockholders approved certain amendments to the Amended and Restated SIP to increase the number of shares of common stock subject to all awards under the Amended and Restated SIP by 33.0 million to 59.1 million, exclusive of shares of common stock subject to awards that were previously granted pursuant to the 2000 SIP that have or will become available for grant pursuant to the Amended and Restated SIP.
Generally, the options granted under the 2000 SIP and Amended and Restated SIP vest over a period of three to four years and have a contractual term of 10 years and 7 years, respectively. Under both plans, certain outstanding options vest automatically upon a change of control, as defined in the respective plan document, provided the option holder is employed by the Company on the date of the change in control. Certain other outstanding options may also vest upon a change of control if the Board of Directors of the Company, at its discretion, provides for acceleration of the vesting of said options. Generally, upon the termination of an option holder’s employment, all unvested options will immediately terminate and vested options will generally remain exercisable for a period of 90 days after the date of termination (one year in the case of death or disability).
Generally, restricted stock units granted under the 2000 SIP and the Amended and Restated SIP vest over three years or based on the achievement of certain performance criteria and are payable in shares of the Company’s stock upon vesting.
As of December 31, 2016, there was an aggregate of 19.8 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Amended and Restated SIP.

Note 11: Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company maintains defined benefit 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 financial statements. 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 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 Company’s 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 Company’s current assessment of the economic environment and projected benefit payments of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s measurement date for determining its defined benefit obligations for all plans is December 31 of each year.
The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses in the period the Company’s annual pension plan actuarial valuations are prepared, which generally occurs during the fourth quarter of each year, or during any interim period where a revaluation is deemed necessary.
The total liability at December 31, 2016 includes $8.3 million of accrued pension liabilities assumed by the Company in connection with the Fairchild acquisition.
2014 Activity and Effect of Voluntary Retirement Programs
The Company recorded a pension curtailment gain of $6.6 million included in Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to the former System Solution Group voluntary retirement programs and KSS facility closure.

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.

Investments in government securities are generally guaranteed by the respective government offering the securities.

Environmental Contingencies
The Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona is 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 have been involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of the Company’s August 4, 1999 recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”), Motorola retained responsibility for this contamination, and Motorola and Freescale have agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter.
As part of the Recapitalization, the Company received various manufacturing facilities, one of which is located in the Czech Republic. In regards to this site, the Company has ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to the Recapitalization during the years that this facility was operated by government-owned entities. In each case, the remediation project consists primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded at each of the respective locations. The government of the Czech Republic has agreed to indemnify the Company and the respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Based upon the information available, total future remediation costs to the Company are not expected to be material.
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. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
As a result of the acquisition of AMIS, the Company is a “primary responsible party” to an environmental remediation and cleanup at AMIS’s former corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California. Costs incurred by AMIS have included 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 cleanup at this location. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
The Company’s former front-end manufacturing location in Aizu, Japan is located on property where soil and ground water contamination have been detected. The Company believes that the contamination originally occurred during a time when the facility was operated by a prior owner. The Company has worked with local authorities to implement a remediation plan and expects remaining remediation costs to be covered by insurance. Based on information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
Through its acquisition of Fairchild, the Company acquired facilities in South Portland, Maine and West Jordan, Utah. These two facilities have ongoing environmental remediation projects to respond to certain releases of
145
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
hazardous substances that occurred prior to the leveraged recapitalization of Fairchild from its former parent company, National Semiconductor Corporation, which is now owned by Texas Instruments, Inc. Although the Company may incur certain liabilities with respect to the above remediation projects, pursuant to the 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. Additionally, under the 1999 asset purchase agreement pursuant to which Fairchild purchased the power device business of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“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. The costs incurred to respond to the above conditions and projects have not been, and are not expected to be, material, and any future payments the Company makes in connection with such liabilities are not expected to be material and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or statements of cash flows.
The Company was notified by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under CERCLA in the Chemetco Superfund matter. Chemetco is a defunct reclamation services supplier who operated in Illinois at what is now a Superfund site. The Company used Chemetco for reclamation services. The EPA is pursuing Chemetco customers for contribution to the site cleanup activities. The Company has joined a PRP group which is cooperating with the EPA in the evaluation and funding of the cleanup. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
Financing Contingencies
In the normal 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 such as, but not limited to, purchase commitments, agreements to mitigate collection risk, leases, utilities or customs guarantees. The Company’s senior revolving credit facility includes $15.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. There were no letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2016. The Company had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit outside of its senior revolving credit facility totaling $6.7 million as of December 31, 2016.
As part of obtaining financing in the normal course of business, the Company issued guarantees related to certain of its capital lease obligations, equipment financing, lines of credit and real estate mortgages, which totaled approximately $130.7 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company is also a guarantor of SCI LLC’s non-collateralized loan with SMBC, which had a balance of $160.4 million as of December 31, 2016. See Note 8: “Long-Term Debt” for further information with respect to the Company’s loan with SMBC.
Based on historical experience and information currently available, the Company believes that in the foreseeable future 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 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.
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 agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. On February 19, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a form of indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) and authorized the Company to enter into an indemnification agreement in substantially the form of the Indemnification Agreement with each of its directors and executive officers (each, an “Indemnitee”). The Indemnification Agreement clarifies and supplements the indemnification rights and obligations of the Indemnitee and Company already included in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, subject to certain exceptions specified in the Indemnification Agreement, the Company will indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in the event the Indemnitee becomes subject to or a participant in certain claims or proceedings as a result of the Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer. The Company will also, subject to certain exceptions and repayment conditions, advance to the Indemnitee specified indemnifiable expenses incurred in connection with such claims or proceedings.
The Fairchild Agreement provides for indemnification and insurance rights in favor of Fairchild’s then current and former directors, officers and employees. Specifically, the Company has agreed that, for no fewer than six years following the Fairchild acquisition, (a) it will indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnitee against losses and expenses (including advancement of attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any proceeding asserted against the indemnified party in connection with such person’s servings as a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of Fairchild or its subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the acquisition, (b) it will maintain in effect all provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries or any other agreements of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries with any indemnified party regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses in existence on the date of the Fairchild Agreement for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition and (c) subject to certain qualifications, it will provide to Fairchild’s then current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition that is no less favorable than Fairchild’s then-existing policy, or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage.
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.
Legal Matters
From time to time, we are 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 intellectual property rights, claims of alleged non-compliance with contract provisions and claims related to alleged violations of laws and regulations. We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made for disclosure. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the resolution of a legal proceeding. The Company’s estimates do not represent its maximum exposure. 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 normal course of business. Based on information currently available, except as disclosed below, 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 and the administrative process at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) are inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of these matters will be favorable for it.
Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc.
There are eight outstanding civil litigation proceedings with Power Integrations, Inc. (“PI”), five of which were pending between PI and Fairchild prior to the acquisition of Fairchild. The Company is vigorously defending the lawsuits filed by PI and believes that it has strong defenses. There are also 12 outstanding administrative proceedings in which the Company is challenging the validity of PI patents at the USPTO.
The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Any estimate or statement in this Form 10-K regarding any reserve or the estimated range of possible losses is made solely in compliance with applicable GAAP requirements, and is not a statement or admission that the Company is or should be liable in any amount, or that any arguments, motions or appeals before any Court lack merit or are subject to impeachment. To the contrary, the Company believes that it has significant and meritorious grounds for judgment in its favor with respect to all of the PI cases and that the Company’s appeals or motions currently pending at the district court level will significantly reduce or eliminate all prior adverse jury verdicts. Subject to the foregoing, as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, the Company estimates its range of possible losses for all PI cases to be between approximately $4 million and $20 million.

Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al. (October 20, 2004, Delaware, 1:04-cv-01371-LPS): PI filed this lawsuit in 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Fairchild and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation. PI alleged that certain of Fairchild’s pulse width modulation (“PWM”) integrated circuit products infringed four PI U.S. patents and sought a permanent injunction preventing Fairchild from manufacturing, selling or offering the products for sale in the United States, or from importing the products into the United States, as well as money damages for past infringement. In October 2006, a jury returned a verdict finding that thirty-three of Fairchild’s PWM products willfully infringed one or more of seven claims asserted in the four patents and assessed damages against Fairchild. Fairchild voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006. In December 2008, the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s 2006 damages award from $34.0 million to approximately $6.1 million and ordered a new trial on the issue of willfulness. Following the new trial held in June 2009, the court found Fairchild’s infringement to have been willful, and in January 2011 the court awarded PI final damages in the amount of $12.2 million. Fairchild appealed the final damages award, willfulness finding, and other issues to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In March 2013, the Court of Appeals vacated almost the entire damages award, ruling that there was no basis upon which a reasonable jury could find Fairchild liable for induced infringement. The Court of Appeals also vacated the earlier judgment of willful patent infringement. The full Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States have since denied PI’s request to review the Court of Appeals ruling. The Court of Appeals instructed the lower court to conduct further proceedings to determine damages based on approximately $500,000 to $750,000 worth of sales and imports of affected products, and this case remains in the District Court of Delaware on that basis. The Company believes that damages on the basis of that level of infringing activity would not be material. PI has further requested the lower court to re-instate the earlier judgment of willful infringement, and that request remains pending with the court.
Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al. (May 23, 2008, Delaware, 1:08-cv-00309-LPS): This lawsuit was initiated by PI in 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Fairchild, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, System General Corporation (now named Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation), alleging infringement of three patents. Of the three patents asserted in this lawsuit, two had been asserted against Fairchild and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the October 2004 lawsuit described above. In 2011, PI added a fourth patent to this case. On October 14, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and System General Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PWM integrated circuit products infringe one or more of two U.S. patents owned by System General Corporation. The lawsuit sought monetary damages and an injunction preventing the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of PI products found to infringe the asserted patents. The lawsuits were consolidated and heard together in a jury trial in April 2012, during which the jury found that PI infringed one of the two U.S. patents owned by Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation and upheld the validity of both of the System General Corporation patents. In the same verdict, the jury found that Fairchild infringed two of four U.S. patents asserted by PI and that Fairchild had induced its customers to infringe the asserted patents. (The court later ruled that Fairchild infringed one other asserted PI patent that the jury found was not infringed.) The jury also upheld the validity of the asserted PI patents. On June 30, 2014, the court issued an order enjoining Fairchild from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing into the United States the products found to infringe the PI patents as well as certain products that were similar to the products found to infringe. Willfulness and damages will be determined in the next phase of the case, which has yet to be scheduled. Fairchild and PI appealed the liability phase of this trial to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which heard arguments in July 2016 and issued a
149
ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
decision in December 2016. In the decision, the appeals court vacated the jury’s finding that Fairchild induced infringement of PI’s patents, held that one of PI’s patents was invalid, vacated the permanent injunction against Fairchild, reversed the jury’s finding that PI infringed the Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation patent, and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with these rulings.
Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. (November 4, 2009, Northern District of California, 3:09-cv-05235-MMC): In 2009, PI sued Fairchild in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that several of Fairchild’s products infringe three of PI’s patents. Fairchild filed counterclaims asserting that PI infringed two Fairchild patents. A trial was held in February 2014 on two PI patents and one Fairchild patent. In March 2014, the jury found that Fairchild willfully infringed both PI patents, awarding PI $105.0 million in damages and finding that PI did not infringe the Fairchild patent. Both parties filed various post-trial motions, which were denied by the court with the exception of Fairchild’s motion to set aside the jury’s determination that it acted willfully. In September 2014, the court granted Fairchild’s motion and determined that, as a matter of law, Fairchild’s actions were not willful. Fairchild continued to challenge several other aspects of the verdict during post-trial review. Specifically, Fairchild asserted that the damages award included legal and evidentiary defects that were inconsistent with recent rulings by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In November 2014, the trial court ruled that the jury lacked sufficient evidence on which to base its damages award and, consequently, vacated the $105.0 million verdict and ordered a second trial on damages. In February 2015, the court denied PI’s request to enjoin the Fairchild products that were found to infringe, finding, among other things, that the evidence at trial failed to establish a causal connection between the alleged harm and the alleged infringement. The court ruled that PI could request an injunction after the second trial on damages, but PI has since indicated that it no longer intends to pursue a permanent injunction on the products found to infringe. The second damages trial was held in December 2015. In December 2015, a jury awarded PI $139.8 million in damages. Fairchild filed a number of post-trial motions challenging the verdict on several grounds, including several that are similar to challenges to the earlier damages verdict in the case, and the court ruled against Fairchild on these motions and awarded PI approximately $7 million in pre-judgment interest. Following the court’s rulings on these issues, PI moved the court for the enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees in January 2016, and Fairchild opposed that motion. On January 23, 2017 the court reinstated the jury’s willful infringement finding from March 2014, but denied PI’s motion for enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees in its entirety. The Company plans to appeal the current damages award as well as the 2014 verdict finding that PI’s patents were infringed and valid. Further, all claims of the two PI patents found to be infringed by Fairchild are under review in already-instituted inter partes administrative proceedings at the USPTO.
Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. v. Power Integrations (May 1, 2012, Delaware, 1:12-cv-00540-LPS): In May 2012, Fairchild sued PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit accuses PI’s LinkSwitch-PH LED power conversion products of violating three of Fairchild’s patents. PI filed counterclaims of patent infringement against Fairchild, asserting five PI patents. Of those five patents, the court granted Fairchild summary judgment of no infringement on one, PI voluntarily withdrew a second and was forced to remove a third patent during the trial, which began in May 2015. In June 2015, the jury found that PI induced infringement of Fairchild’s patent rights and awarded Fairchild $2.4 million in damages. The same jury found that Fairchild infringed a PI patent and awarded PI damages of $100,000. Following the issuance of the December 2016 appeals court decision in the litigation filed in Delaware in 2008 as described above, PI has asked the court in this action (which is the same court as the 2008 Delaware case) to vacate the jury’s finding that PI infringed Fairchild’s patent due to overlapping legal issues already decided by the appeals court. The

Company continues to investigate the applicability of the December 2016 appeals court decision to this action as it may reduce Fairchild’s liability regarding the PI patent that the jury found Fairchild infringed.
Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. (October 21, 2015, Northern District of California, 3:15-cv-04854 MMC): In 2015, PI filed another complaint for patent infringement against Fairchild in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging Fairchild’s switch mode power supply products willfully infringed two PI patents related to frequency jitter and light load frequency reduction. In the complaint, PI is seeking a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. Fairchild answered and counterclaimed, alleging infringement by PI of four Fairchild patents related to aspects of PI’s power conversion products. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages, and has been stayed pending the outcome of the Company’s administrative challenges to the two PI patents asserted against Fairchild.
ON Semiconductor Corporation and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Power Integrations, Inc. (August 11, 2016, Arizona, 2:16-cv-02720-SPL): The Company and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively “ON Semi”), filed a lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. In the lawsuit, ON Semi is asserting claims of patent infringement on six of its patents related to aspects of PI’s power conversion products. In the complaint, ON Semi is seeking a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. The lawsuit also seeks a claim for a declaratory judgment for ON Semi of non-infringement of three of PI’s patents. All three of the PI patents at issue in the declaratory judgment claims are subject to ON Semi’s administrative challenges to those patents currently pending at the USPTO. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages.
Power Integrations v. ON Semiconductor Corporation, and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (November 1, 2016, Northern District of California, 3:16-cv-06371-BLF): This lawsuit was initiated by PI in 2016 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against ON Semi, alleging infringement of six PI patents. Of the six PI patents asserted in this lawsuit, two overlap with ON Semi’s declaratory judgment claims in the August 2016 lawsuit in Arizona and are subject to ON Semi’s administrative challenges to those patents currently pending at the USPTO. In the complaint, PI alleges infringement and seeks a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages.
ON Semiconductor Corporation and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Power Integrations, Inc. (December 27, 2016, Eastern District of Texas, 2:16-cv-01451-JRG-RSP): ON Semi filed a lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division. In the lawsuit, ON Semi is asserting claims of patent infringement on six of its patents directed to aspects of PI’s InnoSwitch family of products. In the complaint, ON Semi is seeking a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages.
Administrative Challenges to PI’s Patents
Between March and August 2016, SCI LLC petitioned the USPTO to institute 12 inter partes reviews, each requesting cancellation of certain claims of six patents owned by PI that have been asserted against the Company, SCI LLC and Fairchild. The USPTO has instituted an inter partes trial, has indicated that SCI LLC is likely to prevail in showing that the challenged claims are unpatentable in seven out of the 10 petitions it has reviewed so far, and has indicated that SCI LLC is likely to prevail in showing that most of the challenged claims are
151

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
unpatentable in another two petitions that the USPTO has reviewed thus far. The USPTO will make institution decisions on the remaining two petitions in the coming weeks. SCI LLC expects that each inter partes review proceeding will terminate in a Final Written Decision on the patentability of the challenged claims for which review has or will be instituted within one year from institution.
Litigation with Acbel Polytech, Inc.
On November 27, 2013, Fairchild and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation were named as defendants in a complaint filed by Acbel Polytech, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleges a number of causes of action, including breach of warranty, fraud, negligence and strict liability, and has been docketed as Acbel Polytech, Inc. v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al, Case # 1:13-CV-13046-DJC. Acbel seeks damages in an amount not less than $30 million, punitive damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company is vigorously defending the lawsuit and believes that it has strong defenses.
Litigation Related to the Acquisition of Fairchild
On December 14, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in a shareholder class action lawsuit filed in state court in Delaware against the Company, Merger Sub, Fairchild and certain directors of Fairchild with respect to the Fairchild Agreement entered into between our Merger Sub and Fairchild in November 2015, by which the Company commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Fairchild. The lawsuit alleged breach of duty by the individual defendants and aiding and abetting by the Company and the Merger Sub and was docketed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as Woo v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al, Case # 11798VCL. In March 2016, the plaintiff amended the complaint to allege that Fairchild’s failure to accept the proposal from a third party constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and that certain disclosures filed on Form 14D-9 were misleading or inaccurate. As relief, the amended complaint sought, among other things, an injunction against the tender offer and the merger that were part of the Fairchild Transaction, an accounting for damages, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 26, 2016, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit.
On December 16, 2015, a purported stockholder in the Company filed a complaint challenging the tender offer for Fairchild and the merger in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara. The complaint was captioned Cody Laidlaw v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., et al., Case No. 15-cv-289120. The complaint listed as defendants Fairchild, its board of directors, Goldman Sachs and unnamed representatives of Goldman Sachs. The complaint alleged that the board of directors of Fairchild breached its fiduciary duties by failing to maximize the price to be paid for Fairchild and that Fairchild and the board of directors of Fairchild failed to provide Fairchild’s stockholders with all material information needed to make an informed decision whether to tender their shares of Fairchild common stock in the tender offer. The complaint further alleged that Goldman Sachs and its unnamed representatives aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty of Fairchild’s board of directors. As relief, the complaint sought, among other things, an injunction against the tender offer and the merger of Fairchild with and into Merger Sub and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. Fairchild filed a motion to dismiss on July 15, 2016, the plaintiff opposed the motion to dismiss on September 16, 2016, and on December 8, 2016, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit.

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Fair Values Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
Our non-financial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition 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. We determine the fair value of our held and used assets, goodwill and intangible assets using an income, cost or market approach as determined reasonable. See Note 5: “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for a discussion of certain asset impairments.
As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no non-financial assets included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet that were remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Cost Method Investments
Investments in equity securities that do not qualify for fair value accounting are accounted for under the cost method. Accordingly, the Company accounts for investments in companies that it does not control under the cost method, as applicable. If a decline in the fair value of a cost method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and the fair value becomes the new cost basis of the investment. The Company evaluates all of its cost method investments for impairment; however, it is not required to determine the fair value of its investment unless impairment indicators are present.
As of each of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s cost method investments had a carrying value of $12.3 million.
Note 14: Financial Instruments
Foreign Currencies
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, or 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.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts with net notional amounts of $95.9 million and $89.8 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.

The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on a portion of its foreign tax credits and net operating losses (“NOLs”), a substantial portion, or $287.9 million, of which relate to Japan NOLs that expire in varying amounts from 2017 to 2024. In addition, the Company also maintains a valuation allowance in the U.S. on a portion of its foreign tax credit carryforwards and a full valuation allowance on its capital loss carryforwards and U.S. state deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s deferred tax assets do not include $194.5 million of excess tax deductions from employee equity exercises that are part of NOL carryforwards, which, if realized, will be accounted for as an addition to equity. See Note 3: “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for the effective date of ASU 2016-09 impacting the accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The Company uses the with or without method when determining when excess benefits have been realized.
The consummation of the Fairchild acquisition during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, caused us to reassess our prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion because of the U.S. debt incurred to fund the acquisition. See Note 8 “Long-Term Debt” for additional information. This resulted in a change in judgment regarding our future cash flows by jurisdiction and our prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion. The change in assertion, which resulted in recording a deferred tax liability for future U.S. taxes, had a direct impact on our judgment about the realizability of our U.S. federal deferred tax assets which resulted in a release of valuation allowance. The change in our prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion resulted in an increase to income tax expense of $310.8 million, which was partially offset by a benefit of $267.9 million relating to the release of valuation allowance. The reversal of the prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion and release of the U.S. federal valuation allowance did not have an effect on our cash taxes. We have not made an indefinite reinvestment assertion related to current year foreign earnings.
In addition to the release of valuation allowance mentioned above, in past periods, we recorded a significant valuation allowance against our Japan consolidated groups deferred tax assets. In order for the Company to release this valuation allowance a substantial amount of positive evidence regarding current and future earnings was required to outweigh the significant negative evidence associated with historical losses. We have reassessed our need for a valuation allowance for our Japan consolidated group as of December 31, 2016. Due to our recent trend of positive operating results, which resulted in the Japan group being in a cumulative 12-quarter income position as of the period ended December 31, 2016, as well as the recent realignment of the former System Solutions Group segment, we realized a $89.4 million net tax benefit related to the release of a portion of our valuation allowance, to reflect the amount of our deferred tax assets which we expect to realize in future years.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $1,203.6 million and $638.8 million, respectively, of federal NOL carryforwards, before reduction for uncertain tax positions, which are subject to annual limitations prescribed in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If not utilized, the NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2021 to 2036.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $211.9 million and $132.9 million, respectively, of federal credit carryforwards, before consideration of valuation allowance or reduction for uncertain tax positions, which are subject to annual limitations prescribed in Section 383 of the Internal Revenue

Code. If not utilized, the credits will expire in varying amounts from 2017 to 2036. Additionally, the Company acquired through the Fairchild acquisition a $29.0 million federal capital loss carryforward of which $26.2 million expired as of December 31, 2016, the remaining amount expires in 2018.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $1,191.2 million and $662.7 million, respectively, of state NOL carryforwards, before consideration of valuation allowance or reduction for uncertain tax positions. If not utilized, the NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2017 to 2036. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $129.0 million and $51.3 million, respectively, of state credit carryforwards before consideration of valuation allowance or reduction for uncertain tax positions. If not utilized, a portion of the credits will begin to expire in varying amounts starting in 2017.
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $1,078.8 million and $1,000.5 million, respectively, of foreign NOL carryforwards, before consideration of valuation allowance. If not utilized, a portion of the NOLs will begin to expire in varying starting in 2017. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $50.5 million and $34.3 million, respectively, of foreign credit carryforwards before consideration of valuation allowance. The majority of these credits have an indefinite life and do not expire.
In general, the increases in the Company’s NOL and credit carryforward amounts are primarily due to acquired attributes as a result of the Fairchild acquisition.
This income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2016 consisted primarily of the reversal of $359.8 million of our previously established valuation allowance against part of our U.S. federal and foreign deferred tax assets and the release of $1.9 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during the year ended December 31, 2016. This is partially offset by $310.8 million related to the reversal of the prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion and $43.5 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations and $3.5 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions.
The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2015 consisted of the reversal of $12.1 million of our previously established valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets, the release of $4.3 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions that were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during the year ended December 31, 2015 and a change in tax rate that favorably impacted deferred balances by $1.6 million. This is partially offset by $24.4 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and $4.4 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions.
The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted of the reversal of $23.3 million of our previously established valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of a net deferred tax liability recorded as part of the Truesense acquisition and the reversal of $4.6 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions that were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during the year ended December 31, 2014. This is partially offset by $19.8 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations, $4.6 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions, and $3.3 million of deferred federal income taxes associated with tax deductible goodwill.

Tax years prior to 2012 are generally not subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) except for items involving tax attributes that have been carried forward to tax years whose statute of limitations remains open. The Company is not currently under IRS examination. For state returns, the Company is generally not subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011. The Company is also subject to routine examinations by various foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates. With respect to major jurisdictions outside the United States, our subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for years prior to 2006. The Company is currently under audit in the following significant jurisdictions: Malaysia, China, Philippines, and Japan.
The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. These liabilities involve considerable judgment and estimation and are continuously monitored by management based on the best information available, including changes in tax regulations, the outcome of relevant court cases, and other information. The Company is currently under examination by various taxing authorities. Although the outcome of any tax audit is uncertain, the Company believes that it has adequately provided in its consolidated financial statements for any additional taxes that the Company may be required to pay as a result of such examinations. If the payment ultimately proves not to be necessary, the reversal of these tax liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period the Company determines such liabilities are no longer necessary. However, if an ultimate tax assessment exceeds the Company’s estimate of tax liabilities, additional tax expense will be recorded. The impact of such adjustments could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

For the period ended December 31, 2016, the Company performed a U.S. R&D tax credit study which covered the years from 2012 to 2015. The results of the study were recorded during the period ended December 31, 2016. As a result the uncertain tax position related to the outcome of the prior year study was also recorded.
Included in the December 31, 2016 balance of $136.7 million is $125.5 million related to unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. Although we cannot predict the timing of resolution with taxing authorities, if any, we believe it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax positions will be reduced by $3.8 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 $0.5 million of tax expenses for interest and penalties during the year

Note 18: Segment Information
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company realigned its segments into three operating segments to optimize efficiencies resulting from the acquisition of Fairchild. These operating segments also represent its three reporting segments: Power Solutions Group, Analog Solutions Group, and Image Sensor Group. The results of the System Solutions Group, which was previously the Company’s fourth operating segment, and which did not have goodwill, are now part of the three operating segments and previously-reported information has been presented based on the new structure to reflect the current organizational structure. The Company’s Power and Analog Solutions Groups include the business acquired in the Fairchild Transaction. See Note 4: “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for additional information with respect to the Company’s recent acquisitions.
Each of the Company’s major product lines has been examined and each product line has been assigned to a reportable segment, as illustrated in the table below, 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.

The Company’s wafer manufacturing facilities fabricate ICs for all business units, as necessary, and their operating costs are reflected in the segments’ cost of revenues on the basis of product costs. Because operating segments are generally defined by the products they design and sell, they do not make sales to each other. The Company does not discretely allocate assets to its operating segments, nor does management evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.
In addition to the operating and reporting segments mentioned above, the Company also operates global operations, sales and marketing, information systems, finance and administration groups that are led by vice presidents who report to the Chief Executive Officer. A portion of the expenses of these groups are allocated to the segments based on specific and general criteria and are included in the segment results reported below. 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, net and certain other manufacturing and operating expenses, which include corporate research and development costs, unallocated inventory reserves and miscellaneous nonrecurring expenses, are not allocated to any segment.

The Company’s consolidated assets are not specifically ascribed to its individual reporting segments. Rather, assets used in operations are generally shared across the Company’s reporting segments.
The Company operates in various geographic locations. Sales to unaffiliated customers have little correlation with the location of manufacturers. It is, therefore, not meaningful to present operating profit by geographical location.

Interest Rate Hedge
To partially offset the variability of future interest payments on the outstanding Term Loan “B” Facility arising from changes in LIBOR rates, on January 11, 2017, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with three financial institutions for notional amounts totalling $500.0 million, $750.0 million and $1.0 billion expiring on December 29, 2017, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, respectively, effectively hedging some of the future variable rate LIBOR interest expense to a fixed rate interest expense. The Company has performed an effectiveness assessment and concluded that there is no ineffectiveness at the inception of the hedge.

Exhibit 10.22
KEY OFFICER
SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT
This Key Officer Severance and Change of Control Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2016 (the “Agreement”), is made and entered into between Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (the “Company”), with offices at 5005 East McDowell Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85008, and Taner Ozcelik (the “Executive”).
RECITALS
A. The Executive has been and continues to be employed by the Company in a key officer position at the Company. As such, the Executive has earned a commensurate level of base salary, Bonus (as defined below), equity based awards, and other compensation and benefits including certain perquisites. In recognition of the Executive’s services on behalf of the Company, the Company promoted Executive on February 20, 2015 to Senior Vice President & General Manager, Image Sensor Division of the Company (“Promotion”).
B. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Parent (as defined below) and its Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to ensure that the Company continue to have the full support, dedication and objectivity of certain key officers of the Company (including, without limitation, the key officer position that the Executive now holds (“Key Officer” or “Key Officers”) under various possible circumstances and situations (as summarized below in these Recitals) that the Company and the Key Officers and/or the Executive may find themselves.
C. The Board and Committee believe it is important to diminish the inevitable distractions that each of the Key Officers may experience by virtue of the personal risks and uncertainties associated with their key officer roles and responsibilities at the Company. The Board and Committee have therefore determined to provide Key Officers with assurances regarding certain severance payments and benefits to be received by the Key Officers in the event of a loss of their employment so that these persons can provide their full attention and dedication to the business and affairs of the Company notwithstanding any attendant personal risks and uncertainties to the Key Officers including the Executive.
D. The Board and Committee also recognize that the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) transaction involving the Company can be a distraction to the Key Officers and can cause the Key Officers to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board and Committee have therefore determined to provide the Key Officers with: (i) incentive to continue their employment and to motivate each Key Officer to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change in Control; and (ii) certain severance payments and benefits upon each Key Officer’s termination of employment following a Change in Control.
E. In connection with this Agreement, the Board and Committee have previously stated the belief that it is important to secure each Key Officer’s commitment to comply with certain restrictive covenants contained herein (e.g., non-solicitation, non-compete, confidentiality, etc.). These governing bodies also require herein that the Executive’s rights to any severance payments and benefits be subject to and conditioned upon the execution by the Executive of a general release and waiver (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Company), waiving all claims the Executive may have against the Company, its affiliates and others. For the remainder of this Agreement, reference to the “Board” may refer to both the Board and the Committee or either of these two bodies.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Employment Period.
The employment of the Executive shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement commencing as of the date of the execution of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”). Executive shall be considered an “at-will” employee, which means that the Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company or by the Executive at any time for any reason or no reason at all. The period during which Executive is employed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to as the “Employment Period.” The Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Employment Period upon the earliest to occur of the following events (at which time the Employment Period shall be terminated):
(a) Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.
(b) Disability. The Company shall be entitled to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for “Disability” if, as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury, after any accommodation required by law, the Executive shall have been unable to perform his duties hereunder for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days, and within thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination (as defined below) for Disability is given following such 90-day period the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis.
(c) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) a material breach by the Executive of this Agreement; (ii) the failure by the Executive to reasonably and substantially perform his duties hereunder (other than as a result of physical or mental illness or injury); (iii) the Executive’s willful misconduct or gross negligence which is materially injurious to the Company; or (iv) the commission by the Executive of a felony or other serious crime involving moral turpitude. In the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Company shall provide notice to the Executive indicating in reasonable detail the events or circumstances that it believes constitute Cause hereunder and, if such breach or failure is reasonably susceptible to cure, provide the Executive with a reasonable period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) to cure such breach or failure. If, subsequent to the Executive’s termination of employment hereunder for other than Cause, it is determined in good faith by the Board of the Parent that the Executive’s employment could have been terminated for Cause (except for a termination under (ii) of the above definition of Cause), the Executive’s employment shall, at the election of the Board, be deemed to have been terminated for Cause retroactively to the date the events giving rise to Cause occurred.
(d) Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder during the Employment Period without Cause.
(e) Voluntarily. The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment hereunder (other than for Good Reason), provided that the Executive provides the Company with notice of his intent to terminate his employment at least three months in advance of the Date of Termination (as defined below).
2
(f) For Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) without the Executive’s written consent, reducing the Executive’s salary, as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, while at the same time not proportionately reducing the salaries of the other comparable officers of the Company, or (iii) without the Executive’s written consent, a material and continued diminution of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, unless the Executive is provided with comparable duties and responsibilities in a comparable position (i.e., a position of equal or greater duties and responsibilities); provided that in either (i), (ii), or (iii) above, the Executive shall notify the Company within thirty (30) days after the event or events which the Executive believes constitute Good Reason hereunder and shall describe in such notice in reasonable detail such event or events and provide the Company a thirty (30) day period after delivery of such notice to cure such breach or diminution.
2. Termination Procedure.
(a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or by the Executive during the Employment Period (other than a termination on account of the death of Executive) shall be communicated by written “Notice of Termination” to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 9(a).
(b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 1(b), thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination, provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis within such thirty (30) day period, (iii) if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment, the date specified in the notice given pursuant to Section 1(e) herein which shall not be less than three months after the Notice of Termination is delivered to the Company, (iv) if the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 1(f) herein, thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination, and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any later date (within thirty (30) days, or any alternative time period agreed upon by the parties, after the giving of such notice) set forth in such Notice of Termination.
3. Termination Payments.
(a) Without Cause. In the event of the termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period by the Company without Cause, the Executive shall be entitled to: (i) any accrued but unused vacation, (ii) base salary through the Date of Termination (to the extent not theretofore paid), (iii) the continuation of base salary (as in effect immediately prior to the termination) for twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination which, subject to the restriction set forth below, shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll practices in effect from time to time and which shall begin on the first payroll period immediately following the date on which the release described below in Section 3(d) becomes irrevocable, (iv) any earned but not paid Bonus (as defined below) for the performance period immediately preceding the Date of Termination, and (v) a pro-rata portion of the Bonus, if any, for the performance period in which the Date of Termination occurs (based on the achievement of the applicable performance criteria and related to the applicable performance period). Notwithstanding
3
the foregoing, the amount of payment set forth in (iii) above during the six-month period following the Date of Termination shall not exceed the severance pay exception limitation amount set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A) (any amount that is payable during such six-month period that is in excess of the separation pay exception limitation shall be paid in a single lump sum on the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination). If the Company determines in good faith that the separation pay exception set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A) does not apply as of the Date of Termination, the amount set forth in (iii) above shall be paid (a) in an initial lump sum equal to six months’ base salary (net of applicable taxes and withholdings) on the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination and (b) thereafter in installments in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll practices. The amounts set forth in (i) and (ii) above, shall be paid in accordance with applicable law on the Date of Termination. The amounts set forth in (iv) and (v) above shall be paid as soon as is reasonably practicable after the close of the accounting books and records of the Company for the relevant performance period at the same time bonuses are paid to other active employees, but in no event will payment be made for any performance period ending on December 31 before January 1 or after March 15 of the year following the year in which the performance period ends. If payment by such date is administratively impracticable, payment may be made at a later date as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(ii). In addition, in the event of a termination by the Company without Cause under this Section 3(a): (1) if the Executive elects to continue the Company’s group health plans pursuant to his rights under COBRA, the Company shall pay the Executive’s COBRA continuation premiums until the earlier of (x) the date the Executive receives group health benefits from another employer or (y) the one-year anniversary of the Date of Termination; and (2) the Company will provide the Executive with outplacement services from vendors designated by the Company for a period of six (6) months following the Date of Termination, at a cost not to exceed $5,000. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Bonus Program” shall mean the discretionary bonus program established and approved by the Board or Committee for employees of the Company in similar positions to the Executive. Also, for purposes of this Agreement, the “Bonus” shall mean a bonus earned, if any, by the Executive on an annual or other performance period basis up to a certain percentage of base salary actually earned and paid, if any, to the Executive during an applicable performance period, or a lesser or an additional amount, as approved by the Board or Committee under the Bonus Program and in all cases based on certain performance criteria; provided that the Executive is actively employed by the Company on the date the bonuses are paid under the Bonus Program, except as provided in this Section 3(a). Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the payments and benefits provided in this Section 3(a) are subject to and conditioned upon the Executive executing (and not revoking) a general release and waiver (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Company), waiving all claims the Executive may have against the Company, its successors, assigns, affiliates, executives, officers and directors, and such payments are subject to and conditioned upon the Executive’s compliance with the restrictive covenants provided in Sections 5 and 6 hereof. For the avoidance of any doubt or confusion, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits provided under this Section 3(a) in the event of any for Good Reason termination of employment by the Executive. Except as provided in this Section 3(a), the Company shall have no additional obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Cause, Disability, Death or Voluntarily (including for Good Reason Absent a Change in Control). If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Period by (i) the Company for Cause, (ii) as a result of the Executive’s death or Disability, or (iii) voluntarily by the Executive (including for Good Reason but absent a Change in Control (as defined below)), the Company shall pay the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, within
4
thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination the Executive’s accrued but unused vacation and his base salary through the Date of Termination (to the extent not theretofore paid). Except as provided in this Section 3(b), the Company shall have no additional obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Change in Control. If within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, (i) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause or (ii) the Executive terminates his/her employment with the Company for Good Reason, then, in addition to all the other benefits provided to the Executive under Section 3(a) of this Agreement, notwithstanding any provision in any applicable option grant agreement or restricted stock award agreement (including time and performance based awards) between the Parent (or the Company) and the Executive: (A) any outstanding but unvested options or any earned but unvested restricted stock awards (including time and performance based awards) granted on or prior to the date of this Agreement or in connection with the Executive’s Promotion shall fully vest upon the Date of Termination; and (B) any such options (both vested and unvested) granted on or prior to the date of this Agreement or in connection with the Executive’s Promotion will remain fully exercisable until the first to occur of (1) the one-year anniversary of the Date of Termination, and (2) either the tenth anniversary or the seventh anniversary of the grant date of such options depending upon what the relevant option grant agreement specifies with regard to an option’s term or expiration date, provided, however, that if the Company determines in good faith that the extension of the option’s exercise period results in the options being considered non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), such extension shall not take effect. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the ON Semiconductor Corporation Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (as amended effective May 20, 2015) for “Change in Control.” For the avoidance of any doubt or confusion, the Executive shall be entitled to all payments and benefits as provided under this Section 3(c) in the event of a for Good Reason termination of employment by the Executive (as defined in Section 1(f) herein) associated with a Change in Control. Except as provided in this Section 3(c), the Company shall have no additional obligations under this Agreement.
(d) Release Required. In order to receive the termination related payments and benefits described in this Section 3, within the time periods described below, the Executive must execute (and not revoke) a general release and waiver (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company) waiving all claims the Executive may have against the Company, its affiliates and others. The release shall be provided to the Executive on or before the date that is five (5) days following the Executive’s Date of Termination. The release must be executed and returned to the Company within the time period described in the release and it must not be revoked by the Executive. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the period during which the Executive may consider and revoke the release spans two (2) calendar years, payment will be made to Executive in the second calendar year.
4. Legal Fees.
In the event of any contest or dispute between the Company and the Executive with respect to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment hereunder, each of the parties shall be responsible for their respective legal fees and expenses.
5
5. Non-Solicitation.
During the Employment Period and for one (1) year thereafter, the Executive hereby agrees not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or assist any other person or entity in soliciting any employee of ON Semiconductor Corporation (the “Parent”), the Company or any of their subsidiaries to perform services for any entity (other than the Parent, the Company or their subsidiaries), or attempt to induce any such employee to leave the employment of the Parent, the Company or their subsidiaries.
6. Confidentiality; Non-Compete; Non-Disclosure; Non-Disparagement.
(a) During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Executive shall hold in strict confidence any proprietary or Confidential Information related to the Parent, the Company and their affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information of the Parent, the Company or any of their affiliates (in whatever form) which is not generally known to the public, including without limitation any inventions, processes, methods of distribution, customer lists or customers’ or trade secrets.
(b) The Executive and the Company agree that the Parent, the Company and their affiliates would likely suffer significant harm from the Executive competing with any or all of the Parent, the Company or their affiliates for some period of time after the Date of Termination. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that he will not, for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination, directly or indirectly, become employed by, engage in business with, serve as an agent or consultant to, become a partner, member, principal, stockholder or other owner (other than a holder of less than 1% of the outstanding voting shares of any publicly held company) of, or otherwise perform services for (whether or not for compensation) any Competitive Business (as defined below) in or from any location in the United States. For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitive Business” shall mean any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, unincorporated organization, trust or joint venture, or government agency or political subdivision thereof that is engaged in, or otherwise competes or has demonstrated a potential for competing with the Business (as defined below) for customers of the Company or its affiliates anywhere in the world. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business” shall mean the design, marketing and sale of semiconductors in the power, analog, digital signal processing, mixed signal, advanced logic, discrete and custom devices, data management semiconductors, memory and standard semiconductor components and integrated circuits offered by any or all of the Parent, the Company or their affiliates for use in electronic products, appliances and automobiles, computing, consumer and industrial electronics, wireless communications, networking, military and aerospace and medical end-user markets.
(c) Upon the termination of the Employment Period, the Executive shall not take, without the prior written consent of the Company, any drawing, blueprint, specification or other document (in whatever form) of the Parent, the Company or their affiliates, which is of a confidential nature relating to the Parent, the Company or their affiliates, or, without limitation, relating to any of their methods of distribution, or any description of any formulas or secret processes and will return any such information (in whatever form) then in his possession.
(d) The Executive shall not defame or disparage the Parent, the Company, their affiliates and their officers, directors, members or executives. The Executive hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company in refuting any defamatory or disparaging remarks by any third party made in respect of the Parent, the Company, their affiliates or their directors, members, officers or executives.
6
7. Injunctive Relief.
It is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to the Company in the event that the Executive breaches any of the restrictive covenants provided in Sections 5 and 6 hereof. In the event that the Executive breaches any such restrictive covenant, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from violating such restrictive covenant (without posting any bond or other security). If the Company shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce any such restrictive covenant, the Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. The foregoing shall not prejudice the Company’s right to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company, and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over, the compensation, profits, monies, accruals or other benefits derived or received by the Executive as a result of any transaction constituting a breach of any of the restrictive covenants provided in Sections 5 or 6 hereof.
8. Representations.
(a) The parties hereto hereby represent that they each have the authority to enter into this Agreement, and the Executive hereby represents to the Company that the execution of, and performance of duties under, this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of or otherwise violate any other agreement to which the Executive is a party.
(b) The Executive hereby represents to the Company that he will not utilize or disclose any confidential information obtained by the Executive in connection with his former employment with respect to his duties and responsibilities hereunder.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and shall be deemed to be given when delivered personally or four days after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or one day after it is sent by a reputable overnight courier service and, in each case, addressed as follows (or if it is sent through any other method agreed upon by the parties):
If to the Company:
Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC
5005 East McDowell Road
Phoenix, Arizona 85008
Attention: General Counsel
If to the Executive, to the address for the Executive on file with the Company at the time of the notice
or to such other address as any party hereto may designate by notice to the others.
7
(b) This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the Executive’s employment hereunder, and supersedes and is in full substitution for any and all prior understandings or agreements with respect to the Executive’s employment (it being understood that, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, stock options granted to the Executive shall be governed by the relevant plan and any other related grant or award agreement and any other related documents).
(c) This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto, and any provision hereof may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought. The failure of any party hereto at any time to require the performance by any other party hereto of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself or a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party has reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and has had the opportunity to contribute to its revision. Accordingly, the rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. Rather, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both parties hereto and not in favor or against either party.
(e) (i) This Agreement is binding on and is for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned by the Executive.
(ii) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in the Agreement, the “Company” shall mean both the Company (as defined above) and any such successor that assumes this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.
(f) Any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this Section, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable. No waiver of any provision or violation of this Agreement by Company shall be implied by Company’s forbearance or failure to take action.
(g) The Company may withhold from any amounts payable to the Executive hereunder all federal, state, city or other taxes that the Company may reasonably determine are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, (it being understood, that the Executive shall be responsible for payment of all taxes in respect of the payments and benefits provided herein).
8
(h) The payments and other consideration to the Executive under this Agreement shall be made without right of offset.
(i) (i) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, no amount payable pursuant to this Agreement on account of the Executive’s termination of employment which constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A Regulations”) shall be paid unless and until the Executive has incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations. Furthermore, to the extent that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the Section 409A Regulations as of the date of the Executive’s separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation that is payable on account of the Executive’s separation from service shall be paid to the Executive before the date (“Delayed Payment Date”) which is the first day of the seventh month after the date of the Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death following such separation from service. All such amounts that would, but for this subsection, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.
(ii) The Company intends that income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in favor of satisfying any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Section 409A Regulations. However, the Company does not guarantee any particular tax effect for income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement. In any event, except for the Company’s responsibility to withhold applicable income and employment taxes from compensation paid or provided to the Executive, the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes on compensation paid or provided to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement.
(j) By signing this Agreement, the Executive agrees to be bound by, and comply with the terms of the compensation recovery policy or policies (and related practices) of the Company or its affiliates as such may be in effect from time-to-time, as a result of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended, and similar or related laws, rules and regulations.
(k) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.
(l) This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(m) The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be a part of or control or affect the meaning of any provision hereof.

| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Background and Basis of Presentation | Note 1: Background and Basis of Presentation ON Semiconductor Corporation (“ON Semiconductor”), together with its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company realigned its operating and reporting segments into the following three operating and reporting segments: Power Solutions Group, Analog Solutions Group and Image Sensor Group. The operating results of the System Solutions Group, which was previously the Company’s fourth operating and reporting segment, and which did not have goodwill, are now assigned among the three current operating and reporting segments, and previously reported information has been presented to reflect the current three operating and reporting segments. The Company’s Power Solutions Group and Analog Solutions Group operating and reporting segments include the business acquired in the Fairchild Transaction. Acquisition of Fairchild On September 19, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fairchild”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Fairchild Agreement”) with each of Fairchild and Falcon Operations Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), which provided for the acquisition of Fairchild by the Company (the “Fairchild Transaction”). Fairchild is a semiconductor company that delivers energy-efficient, easy-to-use and value-added semiconductor solutions for power and mobile designs. |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
| Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies that represent less than 20% of the related ownership interests where the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence are accounted for as cost method investments. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) measurement of valuation allowances relating to trade receivables, inventories and deferred tax assets; (ii) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and allowances, warranties, and restructuring activities; (iii) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (iv) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (v) evaluations of uncertain tax positions; (vi) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations; and (vii) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, if applicable. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with reputable major financial institutions. If, due to current economic conditions, one or more of the financial institutions with which the Company maintains deposits fails, the Company's cash and cash equivalents may be at risk. Deposits with these banks generally exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, as a result of the quality of the respective financial institutions, management believes these deposits bear minimal risk. Short-Term Investments Short-term investments include held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities. Held-to-maturity securities have an original maturity to the Company between three months and one year and are carried at amortized cost as it is the intent of the Company to hold these securities until maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value and the net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts In the normal course of business, the Company provides non-collateralized credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for probable losses on uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company routinely analyzes accounts receivable and considers history, customer creditworthiness, facts and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, current economic trends, and payment term changes when evaluating adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. 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. 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 excess of anticipated demand, is written down, impacting cost of revenues and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously written down are sold, a higher than normal margin will generally be recognized. 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 immaterial and the related impact on the Company's gross profit has also been immaterial. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 30-50 years for buildings and 3-20 years for 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 accounts 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 amount 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 are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. 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 high-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. The income approach 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 transactions or offerings for economically comparable assets available as of the valuation date. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the Company's acquisitions. The Company evaluates its 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. The Company's impairment evaluation of goodwill consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company follows a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test to determine if goodwill is impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including 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 and long-term growth rates. The Company determines the fair value of its 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 revenues, gross profits, 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. Changes in these estimates based on evolving economic conditions or business strategies could result in material impairment charges in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company has determined that its divisions, which are components of its operating segments, constitute reporting units for purposes of allocating and testing goodwill. The Company’s divisions are one level below the operating segments, constituting individual businesses, with the Company’s segment management conducting regular reviews of the operating results. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets associated with that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets associated with the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If, during this second step, the Company determines that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied value, the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. Intangible Assets The Company's acquisitions have resulted in intangible assets consisting of values assigned to customer relationships; patents; developed technology; IPRD; and trademarks. These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization, 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. 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 are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. 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 an asset group. The dynamic economic environment in which the Company operates and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of these impairment tests. Treasury Stock Treasury stock is recorded at cost, inclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, when outstanding common shares are repurchased by the Company, including when outstanding shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with certain shares pursuant to restricted stock units under the Company's share-based compensation plans. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs for line-of-credit agreements, including the Company's senior revolving credit facility, are capitalized and amortized over the term of the underlying agreements using the effective interest method. Amortization of these debt issuance costs is included in interest expense while the unamortized balance is included in other assets. Debt issuance costs for the Company's convertible notes are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the convertible notes, consistent with debt discounts, and are amortized over the term of the convertible notes using the effective interest method. Amortization of these debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. The Company also generates revenue, to a much lesser extent, from manufacturing and design services provided to customers. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer (generally upon shipment), the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances. For products sold to distributors who are entitled to returns and allowances (generally referred to as “ship and credit rights” within the semiconductor industry), the Company recognizes the related revenue and cost of revenues depending on if the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor or legacy Fairchild systems and processes. If the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor system and process, revenue is recognized when ON Semiconductor is informed by the distributor that it has resold the products to the end-user. As a result of the Company’s inability to reliably estimate up front the effects of the returns and allowances with these distributors for sales originating through an ON Semiconductor system and process, the Company defers the related revenue and gross margin on sales to these distributors until it is informed by the distributor that the products have been resold to the end-user, at which time the ultimate sales price is known. Legacy Fairchild’s systems and processes enable the Company to estimate up front the effects of returns and allowances provided to the distributors and thereby record the net revenue at the time of sale related to a legacy Fairchild system and process. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days. For products sold to non-distributors, sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. The Company’s OEM 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 with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activities and records provisions, as necessary. Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense when incurred. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value-added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the statement of operations. Warranty Reserves and Discounts 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 that is the greater of (i) two years from the date of shipment or (ii) the period of time specified in the customer's standard warranty (provided that the customer's standard warranty is stated in writing and extended to purchasers at no additional charge). At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with its sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. In addition, the Company also offers cash discounts to certain customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally ten days after shipment. The Company records a reserve for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on experience with each customer. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Share-Based Compensation Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period. The Company has outstanding awards with performance, time and service-based vesting provisions. 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. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, estimated future taxable income, as well as feasible tax planning strategies for each taxing jurisdiction 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. 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 material increases or decreases in income tax expense in the period in which the change is made, which could have a material 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 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. The majority 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 revenues 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. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs and pension obligations are determined based upon a number of 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. Contingencies The Company is involved in a variety of legal matters, intellectual property matters, environmental, financing and indemnification contingencies that arise in the normal course of business. Based on 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. Fair Value Measurement The Company measures certain of its financial and non-financial assets at fair value by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes certain inputs into individual fair value measurement approaches. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Companies may choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected must be reported in earnings. The Company has elected not to carry any of its debt instruments at fair value. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU’s Adopted: ASU No. 2015-17 - “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”) In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, which requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company elected early adoption as of the interim period beginning October 3, 2015, effective for the annual period ended December 31, 2015, and selected the prospective application. Prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted. ASU 2015-05 - “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” (“ASU 2015-05”) In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, which provides guidance regarding the accounting for fees paid by a customer in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2015-05 amended ASC 350-40-25-16 by removing the language that stated licenses for internal-use software from third parties should be analogized to the subtopic 840-10 Leases. If a cloud computing arrangement includes the transfer of a software license, then the customer would account for the payment of fees as an acquisition of software. If there is no software license, the payment of fees would be accounted for as a service contract. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either prospectively for all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date, or retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2015-05 as of the quarter ended April 1, 2016 and selected the prospective application. There was no material impact to the financial statements. ASU No. 2015-03 - “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”) and ASU No. 2015-15 - “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements” (“ASU 2015-15”) In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, which clarified that ASU 2015-03 does not address debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit agreements and stated that the SEC staff would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement, consistent with existing guidance. The Company elected early adoption of ASU 2015-03 as of the year ended December 31, 2015, applicable to debt issuance costs related to its convertible notes, and retrospectively adjusted certain prior year amounts to reflect the effects of applying the new guidance. Pursuant to ASU 2015-15, debt issuance costs relating to the Company’s revolving credit facility have been deferred and are included in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. ASU No. 2014-15 - “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”) In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, which requires management to evaluate, in connection with financial statement preparation for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the financial statements. ASUs Pending Adoption: ASU No. 2016-18 - “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2016-18”) In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU does not define the terms “restricted cash” and “restricted cash equivalents.” The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-18 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2016-16 - “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” (“ASU 2016-16”) In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The income tax consequences from the sale of inventory from one member of a consolidated entity to another will continue to be deferred until the inventory is sold to a third party. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-16 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2016-15 - “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”) In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which changes how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2016-09 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, which is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016, however expects the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements based on excess tax deductions from employee equity exercises that are part of net operating losses as of December 31, 2016. See Note 15: "Income Taxes" for further information. ASU No. 2016-02 - “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2016-01 - “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”) In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 may have on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2015-11 - “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”) In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which requires that an entity should measure in-scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to be material on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2014-09 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), ASU No. 2015-14 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), ASU No. 2016-08 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations” (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU No. 2016-10 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”) ASU No. 2016-12 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”) and ASU No. 2016-20 - “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”) In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards, superseding the existing revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Pursuant to ASU 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange, as applied through a multi-step process to achieve that core principle. Subsequently, the FASB approved a deferral included in ASU 2015-14 that permits public entities to apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein, and that would also permit public entities to elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date as applicable to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new guidance allows for the amendment to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which clarifies identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, which improves certain aspects of ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, which improves certain aspects of ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. As described in Note 2: ''Significant Accounting Policies'' the Company defers the revenue and cost of revenues on sales to certain distributors until it is informed by the distributor that the distributor has resold the products to the end customer. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, the Company believes one of the more significant impacts will be that it is no longer permitted to defer revenue until sale by the distributor to the end customer, but rather, will be required to estimate the effects of returns and allowances provided to distributors and record revenue at the time of sale to the distributor. In anticipation of the adoption of the new standards, the Company has been developing its internal systems, processes and controls for making the required estimates. While the Company previously intended to early adopt the standard on January 1, 2017, the Company is still evaluating other aspects of the standard (non ship & credit related) and decided it will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018. |

| Acquisitions and Divestitures | Note 4: Acquisitions and Divestitures The Company pursues strategic acquisitions from time to time to leverage its existing capabilities and further build its business. Such acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations pursuant to ASC 805 "Business Combinations." Accordingly, 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, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $25.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, which are included in operating expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. 2016 Acquisition On September 19, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. ("Fairchild"), whereby Fairchild became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price totaled $2,532.2 million in cash and was funded by the Company's borrowings against its Term Loan "B" Facility and a partial draw of the Revolving Credit Facility, as well as with cash on hand. See Note 8: ''Long-Term Debt'' for additional information. The Company acquired Fairchild to expand its product offerings and to create a power semiconductor leader with strong capabilities in a rapidly consolidating semiconductor industry. The acquisition of Fairchild adds highly complementary product lines, allowing the Company to offer the full spectrum of high, medium and low voltage products and expands ON Semiconductor's footprint in wireless communication products, particularly in high efficiency power conversions and USB Type C communication and power delivery. The acquisition also provides the Company with a platform to expand its profitability in a highly fragmented industry. For the period from September 19, 2016 to December 31, 2016 the Company recognized revenue of $411.5 million and net loss of $34.5 million relating to Fairchild, which included charges for the amortization of fair market value step-up of inventory of $67.5 million, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price of Fairchild for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values (in millions):
During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded certain measurement period adjustments to the initial estimated purchase price allocation. These adjustments resulted in an immaterial impact to depreciation and amortization expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as Fairchild was in the Company's combined results for only 12 days. These adjustments were among those expected to be made to the initial estimated purchase price allocation based on information obtained during the measurement period and are properly reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. Acquired intangible assets include $134.2 million of IPRD assets, which are to be amortized over the useful life upon successful completion of the related projects. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by considering the importance of products under development to the overall development plan, estimating costs to develop the purchased IPRD into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The Company utilized a discount rate of 14.5% and cash flows from its significant products are expected to commence from 2017 and beyond. Other acquired intangible assets of $413.6 million are developed technology of $272.7 million (eleven year weighted-average useful life), customer relationships of $135.5 million (fifteen year useful life) and backlog of $3.0 million (six month useful life). The total weighted average amortization period for the acquired intangibles is 12.1 years. The acquisition produced $656.1 million of goodwill of which $366.1 million was assigned to the Power Solutions Group and $289.9 million to the Analog Solutions Group. Goodwill is attributable to a combination of Fairchild's assembled workforce, expectation regarding a more meaningful engagement by the customers due to the scale of the combined Company, and other synergies. Goodwill arising from the Fairchild acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred $24.7 million in acquisition related costs for the Fairchild acquisition. These costs were recorded in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 12: ''Commitments and Contingencies'' for information on contingent liabilities assumed from the acquisition of Fairchild. Pro-Forma Results of Operations The following unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31 2016 and 2015 have been prepared as if the acquisition of Fairchild had occurred on January 1, 2015 and includes adjustments for depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles, interest expense from financing, and the effect of purchase accounting adjustments including the step-up of inventory, as well as $16.9 million in non-recurring acquisition advisory fees (in millions):
2016 Divestitures On August 25, 2016, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) accepted a proposed consent order whereby, prior to the closing of the acquisition of Fairchild, the FTC required the Company to dispose of its ignition planar insulated gate bipolar transistor (“IGBT”) business. In satisfaction of this requirement, on August 29, 2016, the Company sold the ignition IGBT business to Littelfuse, Inc. (“Littelfuse”). On the same day the Company sold its transient voltage suppression diode and switching thyristor product lines (“Thyristor”) to Littelfuse. The sale of the ignition IGBT and Thyristor businesses was for $104.0 million in cash. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $92.2 million after, among other things, transferring inventory of $4.1 million to Littelfuse, writing off goodwill of $3.4 million, and deferring $4.3 million of the proceeds representing the fair value of manufacturing services to be recognized in the future. This gain has been presented separately as “Gain on divestiture of business” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On December 19, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with HSET Electronic Tech (Hong Kong) Limited to sell certain assets including inventory, technology and licenses related to its Mobile CIS business for $75 million. The proceeds for the divestiture are scheduled to be received in multiple installments in 2017. As the deliverables are due only upon the receipt of each instalment, the divestiture will be accounted for in 2017. The inventory is under production and the technology assets have been classified as assets held for sale and included within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. The Company has $13.9 million of inventory that is currently under production which will be sold when the manufacturing process is complete. 2015 Acquisition Axsem On July 15, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of AXSEM for $8.0 million in cash consideration, plus an additional unlimited contingent consideration (the “Earn-out”) with a fair value of $5.0 million as of July 15, 2015. The unlimited Earn-out payment, if any, is based on the achievement of certain revenue targets during two separate measurement periods consisting of the following: (i) the period from the first day of the Company’s third fiscal quarter of 2016 to the last day of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2017; and (ii) the period from the first day of the Company’s third fiscal quarter of 2017 to the last day of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2016, due to the revisions of the Company’s expectations of the Earn-out achievement, the Earn-out estimated fair value was reduced by $0.5 million to $4.5 million. 2014 Acquisitions Aptina On August 15, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of Aptina for approximately $405.4 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, of which approximately $2.9 million was paid during the first quarter of 2015. As discussed below, a portion of the $40.0 million of the total consideration remained in escrow as of December 31, 2016. Aptina is incorporated into the Company's Image Sensor Group for reporting purposes. For the period from August 15, 2014 to December 31, 2014, the Company's results of operations include approximately $209.0 million of revenue and a $39.2 million net loss attributable to the acquisition of Aptina, which includes $22.3 million of charges for the amortization of the inventory adjustment to fair market value, $25.5 million for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and $5.9 million for business combination severance charges. The Company expects the acquisition of Aptina to expand the Company's image-sensor business and further strengthen the Company's position in the fast growing segment of image sensors in the automotive and industrial end-markets. The allocation of the purchase price of Aptina was finalized during the quarter ended April 3, 2015. Acquired intangible assets include $51.3 million of IPRD assets, which are to be amortized over the useful life upon successful completion of the related projects. The value assigned to IPRD was determined by considering the importance of products under development to the overall development plan, estimating costs to develop the purchased IPRD into commercially viable products, reviewing costs incurred for the projects, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the projects when completed and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. Other acquired intangible assets of $207.8 million include: customer relationships of $126.5 million (two to six year useful life); developed technology of $79.0 million (six year useful life); and trademarks of $2.3 million (six month useful life). Goodwill of $64.4 million was assigned to the Image Sensor Group. Among the factors that contributed to goodwill arising from the acquisition were the potential synergies that are expected to be derived from combining Aptina with the Company’s existing image sensor business. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger between the Company and the sellers of Aptina (the "Merger Agreement"), $40.0 million of the total consideration was withheld by the Company upon closing and placed into an escrow account to secure against certain indemnifiable events described in the Merger Agreement. The $40.0 million of consideration held in escrow was accounted for as restricted cash as of December 31, 2014. During 2016 and 2015, $1.0 million and $21.2 million of the escrow was released, respectively, with $17.8 million and $18.8 million remaining as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The remaining escrow amounts will be released upon satisfaction of certain outstanding conditions contained in the Merger Agreement. All escrow amounts are treated as restricted cash and are included in other current assets and accrued expenses on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table presents purchase price allocation for the 2014 acquisition of Aptina, including the effects of the measurement period adjustments, recorded in 2015 (in millions):
Truesense On April 30, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of Truesense for $95.7 million in cash. Truesense is incorporated into the Company's Image Sensor Group and the allocation of the purchase price was finalized during the year ended December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $53.4 million and a net loss of approximately $0.3 million, attributable to the acquisition of Truesense, which includes $4.7 million of charges for the inventory adjustment to fair market value and $10.4 million for the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price recorded for the 2014 acquisition of Truesense, including the effects of the measurement period adjustments, recorded in 2015 (in millions):
Goodwill of $23.5 million was assigned to the Image Sensor Group. Among the factors that contributed to goodwill arising from the acquisition were the potential synergies expected to be derived from combining Truesense with the Company’s existing image sensor business. Approximately $2.0 million of the $23.5 million of goodwill as of December 31, 2014 is deductible for tax purposes. Pro Forma Results of Operations (Unaudited) The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been prepared as if the acquisitions of Aptina and Truesense had occurred on January 1, 2013 and includes adjustments for depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles, and the effect of purchase accounting adjustments including the step-up of inventory (in millions, except per share data):

| Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Note 5: Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level which is one level below the Company's operating segments. During the first step of the Company's annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the Company's goodwill for all of its reporting units was recoverable and no step 2 tests were required for any reporting unit. The Company uses the income approach, based on estimated future cash flows, to perform the goodwill impairment test. These estimates include assumptions about future conditions such as future revenues, gross profits, operating expenses, and industry trends. The Company considers other valuation methods, such as the cost approach or market approach, if it determines that these methods provide a more representative approximation of fair value. The material assumptions used for the income approach for periods when no impairment was necessary included projected net cash flows, a weighted-average discount rate of approximately 10.5%, and a weighted-average long-term growth rate of 3%. The Company considered historical rates and current market conditions when determining the discount and growth rates to use in the Company's analysis. As noted above, there were no impairment charges as a result of the annual impairment analysis in 2016. During the Company's annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company determined that the fair values of certain of its reporting units were less than the carrying value. As a result of the 2014 impairment analysis, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $8.7 million relating to one of its reporting units in the Analog Solutions Group operating segment. The following table summarizes goodwill by relevant reportable segment as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in millions):
The following table summarizes the change in goodwill from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2016 (in millions):
Intangible Assets Intangible assets, net, were as follows as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in millions):
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company canceled certain of its previously capitalized IPRD projects under the Image Sensor Group and recorded impairment losses of $2.2 million, included in the “Goodwill and intangible asset impairment” caption on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company completed certain of its IPRD projects, resulting in the reclassification of $21.6 million from IPRD to developed technology. The Company also acquired $547.8 million of intangibles from the acquisition of Fairchild and resulting purchase accounting. As a result of the Company's annual goodwill impairment testing for 2014, it was determined that certain intangible assets belonging to a reporting unit within the Analog Solutions Group were impaired. In connection with this impairment, the Company wrote-off approximately $0.9 million of intangible assets associated with the Analog Solutions Group operating segment. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company wrote off approximately $4.7 million of other long-lived assets associated with the Analog Solutions Group. See Note 13: ''Fair Value Measurements'' for additional information with respect to the Company's non-recurring fair value measurements. Amortization expense for intangible assets amounted to: $104.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, $135.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $68.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Amortization expense for intangible assets, with the exception of the $139.8 million of IPRD assets that will be amortized once the corresponding projects have been completed, is expected to be as follows over the next five years, and thereafter (in millions):

| Long-Term Debt | Note 8: Long-Term Debt The Company's long-term debt consists of the following (annualized rates, dollars in millions):
_______________________
Expected maturities relating to the Company’s gross long-term debt (including current maturities) as of December 31, 2016 are as follows (in millions):
The 2.625% Notes, Series B were redeemed during January 2017. Fairchild Transaction Financing On April 15, 2016, the Company obtained capital for the Fairchild Transaction purchase consideration and other general corporate purposes by entering into (1) a $600 million senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $2.2 billion term loan “B” facility (the “Term Loan “B” Facility”), the terms of which are set forth in a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 15, 2016, by and among the Company, as borrower, the several lenders party thereto, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain other parties, and (2) a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) with certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), pursuant to which the New Credit Agreement was 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 New Credit Agreement are also collateralized by mortgages on certain real property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The proceeds from the Term Loan “B” Facility, along with $67.7 million funded by the Company, were deposited into escrow accounts and included within restricted cash on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet until the close of the Fairchild Transaction. Upon the close of the Fairchild Transaction, the Company’s then current senior revolving credit facility (the "Facility" as defined below under “2015 Revolver Amendment” and further described below under "Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility") was terminated and replaced by the Revolving Credit Facility, which became immediately available to the Company. The acquisition of Fairchild was funded with proceeds from the Term Loan “B” Facility and Company funded amounts previously deposited into escrow accounts, proceeds from a $200.0 million draw against the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, and existing cash on hand. Proceeds from the Term Loan “B” Facility were also used to pay for debt issuance costs, transaction fees and expenses. Amendment of the New Credit Agreement On September 30, 2016, the Company, the Guarantors, the several lenders party thereto and the Agent entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the New Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment reduced the applicable margins on Eurocurrency Loans to 2.75% and 3.25% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan “B” Facility, respectively, and reduced applicable margins on ABR Loans to 1.75% and 2.25% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan “B” Facility, respectively. Additionally, the First Amendment included the following: (i) the Term Loan “B” Facility was increased to $2.4 billion, (ii) certain restructuring transactions and intercompany intellectual property transfers are permitted in order to achieve efficient integration of the Company, its subsidiaries and acquired entities; and (iii) certain changes were made to the provisions regarding hedge agreements to allow the Company and each of the Guarantors to enter into certain hedge arrangements that shall be deemed to be “obligations” for purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement which may be collateralized by the collateral granted pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Company used the additional $200.0 million proceeds under the Term Loan “B” Facility to pay off the outstanding balance under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Term Loan “B” Facility matures on March 31, 2023 and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on September 19, 2021. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has borrowed an aggregate of $2.4 billion under the Term Loan “B” Facility. The Term Loan “B” Facility had an original issuance discount (“OID”) of $33.0 million, which was withheld from the proceeds. The OID is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Term Loan “B” Facility. All borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement may, at the Company’s option, be incurred as either eurocurrency loans (“Eurocurrency Loans”) or alternate base rate loans (“ABR Loans”). Eurocurrency Loans will accrue interest for any interest period ending after the date of the First Amendment, at (a) a base rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus (b) an applicable margin equal to (i) 2.75% with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) 3.25% with respect to borrowings under the Term Loan “B” Facility. ABR Loans will accrue interest, for any interest period ending after the date of the First Amendment, at (a) a base rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (ii) the prime commercial lending rate announced by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, from time to time as its prime lending rate and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period (determined after giving effect to any applicable “floor”) plus 1.00%; provided that, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), subject to the interest rate floors set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement plus (b) an applicable margin equal to (i) 1.75% with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) 2.25% with respect to borrowings under the Term Loan “B” Facility. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will vary based on a defined net leverage ratio, which is defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. After the completion of the Company’s first full fiscal quarter occurring six months after the closing date of the Fairchild Transaction, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be decreased if the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio decreases. The Amended Credit Agreement also requires us to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which will be a minimum of 0.25% and a maximum of 0.35%, depending on the Company’s defined net leverage ratio. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured 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 mortgages on certain real property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The Term Loan “B” Facility requires quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Term Loan “B” Facility starting December 2016. At the maturity date of the Term Loan “B” Facility, any remaining unpaid principal amount shall be due and payable in full. The Amended Credit Agreement includes financial maintenance covenants including a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. It also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of December 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to prepay the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) generated within ten days from the submission of the compliance certificate. The prepayment is applied against the remaining installments of the Term Loan “B” Facility in direct order of maturity. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Excess Cash Flow generated was $37.2 million and is included within current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Debt Extinguishment, Modification, and Issuance Costs As further described below, the Company recognized a loss of $6.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the extinguishment of certain of its credit facilities. New Credit Agreement Amendment The Company incurred debt issuance costs consisting of legal, underwriting and other fees of $66.6 million related to the Term Loan “B” Facility, including $22.0 million toward lender fees for the First Amendment. A portion of the debt issuance costs were paid directly from escrowed funds per the terms of the escrow agreement and is reflected as a non-cash activity. See Note 17: ''Supplemental Disclosures'' for more information. The Company recorded the Term Loan “B” Facility debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt and is amortizing them using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. The Company performed a debt extinguishment vs. modification analysis on a lender by lender basis upon the execution of the First Amendment. The Company recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016, which included a $0.3 million write off of unamortized debt issuance costs, $4.3 million in third party fees, and $0.1 million of lender fees. The Company incurred debt issuance costs consisting of legal, underwriting and other fees of $8.2 million for the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company recognized the Revolving Credit Facility underwriter fees and debt issuance costs as deferred costs, which are included in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company amortizes these deferred costs on a straight line basis over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility from the acquisition closing date, which was the date the revolver became available to the Company. The Company accounted for the termination and replacement of its senior revolving credit facility by the Revolving Credit Facility as a debt modification and wrote off $1.6 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The remaining unamortized costs of $2.0 million related to the terminated senior revolving credit facility are being amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility. 2015 Revolver Amendment On May 1, 2015, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCI LLC, entered into an amendment to the $800.0 million, five-year senior revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 10, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company and a group of lenders. The amendment expanded the borrowing capacity of the Facility to $1.0 billion and reset the five-year maturity date. The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes including working capital, stock repurchase, and/or acquisitions. At issuance, the Company recorded $2.1 million of new debt issuance costs and wrote-off $0.4 million of existing debt issuance costs associated with the Facility, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment during the year ended December 31, 2015. Note Payable to SMBC On January 31, 2013, the Company amended and restated its seven-year, non-collateralized loan obligation with SANYO Electric. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the loan agreement, SANYO Electric assigned all of its rights under the loan agreement to SMBC. The loan had an original principal amount of approximately $377.5 million and had a principal balance of $160.4 million and $198.2 million as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum and provides for quarterly interest and $9.4 million in principal payments, with the unpaid balance of $122.7 million due in January 2018. Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Facility On May 1, 2015, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCI LLC, entered into an amendment to the Facility pursuant to the Credit Agreement among the Company and a group of lenders. The amendment expanded the borrowing capacity of the Facility to $1.0 billion and reset the five-year maturity date. The Facility may be used for general corporate purposes including working capital, stock repurchase, and/or acquisitions. On June 1, 2015, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCI LLC, entered into a second amendment of the Facility that provides for, among other things, modifications to the Facility to allow for the issuance by the Company of its convertible senior notes, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, and to permit the Company to enter into certain hedging transactions relating to such notes or otherwise. In addition, the second amendment provides for the release of the pledged stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries upon the issuance of the convertible senior notes. The Facility includes $15.0 million availability for the issuance of letters of credit, $15.0 million availability for swingline loans for short-term borrowings and a foreign currency sublimit of $75.0 million. The Company has the ability to increase the size of the Facility in increments of $10.0 million provided that the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $500.0 million. Payments of the principal amounts of revolving loans under the Credit Agreement are due no later than May 1, 2020, which is the maturity date of the Facility. Interest is payable based on either a LIBOR or base rate option, as established at the commencement of each borrowing period, plus an applicable rate that varies based on the total leverage ratio. The Company has also agreed to pay the lenders certain fees, including a commitment fee that varies based on the total leverage ratio. The Company may prepay loans under the Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, upon payment of accrued interest and break funding payments, if applicable. The obligations under the Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's and SCI LLC's domestic subsidiaries and prior to the issuance of the 1.00% Notes, were collateralized by a pledge of the equity interests in certain of the Company's and SCI LLC's domestic subsidiaries and material first tier foreign subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for credit agreements of this nature. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, investments and transactions with affiliates. The Company's business combinations described in Note 4: "Acquisitions and Divestitures," represent permitted activities pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains only two financial covenants: (i) a maximum total leverage ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other adjustments described in the Credit Agreement ("consolidated EBITDA") for the trailing four consecutive quarters of 3.75 to 1.00; and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for the trailing four consecutive quarters of 3.50 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgment defaults, ERISA defaults and a change of control default. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with the various covenants contained in the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2015 and for the period of time in 2016 when the Facility was available to the Company. As discussed above, upon the close of the Fairchild Transaction, the Facility was terminated and replaced by the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings on the Facility during 2015 and for the period of time in 2016 when the Facility was available to the Company. There were no debt issuance costs associated with the Facility as of December 31, 2016. 1.00% Notes On June 8, 2015, the Company completed a private placement of $690.0 million of its 1.00% Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company was the sole issuer in the private unregistered offering of the 1.00% Notes. The Company incurred issuance costs of $18.3 million in connection with the issuance of the notes, of which $15.4 million were recorded as debt issuance costs and are being amortized using the effective interest method and $2.9 million were allocated to the conversion option (as further described below) and were recorded to equity. The 1.00% Notes are governed by an indenture between the Company, as the issuer, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Company's use of the net proceeds from the offering included the following: (i) the funding of the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions described below (the cost of which was partially offset by the proceeds that the Company received from entering into the warrant transactions described below); (ii) funding the repurchase of $70.0 million of the Company's common stock which was acquired from purchasers of the 1.00% Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected through one or more of the initial purchasers or their affiliates conducted concurrently with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes; and (iii) repayment of $350.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The remainder of the proceeds was intended for general corporate purposes, including additional share repurchases and potential acquisitions. The notes bear interest at the rate of 1.00% per year from the date of issuance, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2015. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured obligation basis by certain existing subsidiaries of the Company. The notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 54.0643 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $18.50 per share of common stock. The Company will settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, if applicable, subject to the Company’s right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders may convert their notes only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2015, if the last reported sale price of common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) 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 business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate; (iii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the indenture relating to the notes; or (iv) on and after September 1, 2020. Upon conversion of the notes, the Company will deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company's election. For a discussion of the dilutive effects for earnings per share calculations, see Note 9: "Earnings Per Share and Equity." The notes will mature on December 1, 2020. If a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes that occur prior to September 1, 2020, the holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to cash and shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate, an additional number of shares of common stock, in each case as described in the indenture. Notwithstanding these conversion rate adjustments, these notes contain an explicit limit on the number of shares issuable upon conversion. In connection with the occurrence of specified fundamental changes, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date. The notes, which are the Company’s unsecured obligations, will rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated obligations. The notes will also be effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. ON Semiconductor was the sole issuer of the 1.00% Notes. In accordance with accounting guidance on embedded conversion features, the Company valued and bifurcated the conversion option associated with the 1.00% Notes from the respective host debt instrument, which is referred to as the debt discount, and initially recorded the conversion option of $110.4 million in stockholders' equity. The resulting debt discount is being amortized to interest expense at an effective interest rate of 4.29% over the contractual terms of the notes. The Company used $56.9 million of the net proceeds from the offering of its 1.00% Notes to concurrently enter into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the 1.00% Notes. Pursuant to these transactions, the Company has the option to purchase initially (subject to adjustment for certain specified transactions) a total of 37.3 million shares of its common stock at a price of $18.50 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was $108.9 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants to certain bank counterparties whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase initially (subject to adjustment for certain specified events) a total of 37.3 million shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $25.96 per share. The Company received $52.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. In aggregate, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and the sale of the warrants are intended to offset potential dilution from the conversion of these notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders' equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The net cost incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions was recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. A portion of the shares subject to the conversion of the 1.00% Notes and hedging transactions were reserved in the form of the Company's treasury stock. 2.625% Notes, Series B On March 22, 2013, the Company completed its final exchange offer for its 2.625% Notes in exchange for its 2.625% Notes, Series B. Subject to certain other terms and conditions, these exchanges extended the first put date for the exchanged amounts from December 2013 to December 2016. The 2.625% Notes, Series B bore interest at the rate of 2.625% per year from the date of issuance. Interest was payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2.625% Notes, Series B were fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a non-collateralized senior subordinated basis by certain existing domestic subsidiaries of the Company. ON Semiconductor was the sole issuer of the 2.625% Notes, Series B. The 2.625% Notes, Series B were convertible by holders into cash and shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 95.2381 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events), which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.50 per share of common stock. The Company would settle conversion of all notes validly tendered for conversion in cash and shares of the Company's common stock, if applicable, subject to the Company's right to pay the share amount in additional cash. Holders had the option to convert their 2.625% Notes, Series B under the following circumstances: (i) during the five business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of such period was less than 103% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate; (ii) upon occurrence of the specified transactions described in the Indenture relating to the 2.625% Notes, Series B; or (iii) after June 15, 2016. On November 17, 2016, the Company announced that it would be exercising its option to redeem the entire $356.9 million outstanding principal amount of the 2.625% Notes, Series B on December 20, 2016 pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2.625% Notes, Series B. The holders of the 2.625% Notes, Series B had the right to convert their 2.625% Notes, Series B into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of 95.2381 shares per $1,000 principal amount until the close of business on December 19, 2016. The Company satisfied its conversion obligation with respect to the 2.625% Notes, Series B tendered for conversion with cash. The final conversion was settled on January 26, 2017, resulting in an aggregate payment of approximately $445 million for the redemption and conversion of the 2.625% Notes, Series B. The equity component of the 2.625% Notes, Series B amounting to $32.9 million, representing the amounts previously recorded to additional paid in capital has been reclassified to mezzanine equity as of December 31, 2016. Debt issuance costs associated with the 2.625% Notes, Series B are amortized using the effective interest method through December 2016. The Company determined that the conversion option based on a trading price condition met the definition of a derivative, and should be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately. The fair value of this feature was determined to be de minimis at the date of issuance and continued to be so through December 31, 2016. Philippine Term Loans During the second quarter of 2015, the Company's wholly-owned Philippine subsidiaries and ON Semiconductor, as guarantor, entered into two non-collateralized term loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $50.0 million, the terms of which were set forth in agreements by and between the Company’s Philippine subsidiaries and a Philippine bank. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company borrowed the full $50.0 million available under the term loans. Borrowings under the loans bear interest based on 3-month LIBOR plus 2.0% per annum, with interest payable quarterly in arrears. The total borrowed amount must be repaid within five years over 17 equal quarterly principal installments starting at the end of the fourth quarter from the initial drawdown date. U.S. Real Estate Mortgages On August 4, 2014, one of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with a Scottish Bank for approximately $49.4 million, which was collateralized by certain of the Company's real estate. The loan bears interest payable monthly at an interest rate of approximately 3.12% per annum, with a balloon payment of approximately $26.7 million in 2019. Malaysia Revolving Line of Credit On September 23, 2014, one of the Company’s wholly-owned Malaysian subsidiaries and ON Semiconductor, as guarantor, entered into a non-collateralized and uncommitted $25.0 million line of credit (the “Malaysia Line of Credit”), the terms of which were set forth in an agreement by and between the Company’s Malaysian subsidiary and a Japanese bank. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company’s Malaysian subsidiary borrowed the full $25.0 million available under the Malaysia Line of Credit. The balance as of December 31, 2016 was $25.0 million. Borrowings under the Malaysia Line of Credit bear interest based on 3-month LIBOR, as established at the commencement of each borrowing period, plus 1.45% per annum, with interest payable quarterly. The borrowed amount is payable within 21 business days of demand. Vietnam Revolving Line of Credit On September 3, 2014, one of the Company’s wholly-owned Vietnamese subsidiaries and ON Semiconductor, as guarantor, entered into a non-collateralized and uncommitted $25.0 million line of credit (the “Vietnam Line of Credit”), the terms of which were set forth in an agreement by and between the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiary and a Japanese bank. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiary had an outstanding balance of $17.0 million under the Vietnam Line of Credit. Borrowings under the Vietnam Line of Credit bear interest based on 3-month LIBOR and 12-month LIBOR, as established at the commencement of each borrowing period, plus 1.45% per annum, with interest payable quarterly and annually. The borrowed amount is payable within 5 business days of demand. Capital Lease Obligations The Company has various capital lease obligations primarily for software, which as of December 31, 2016 totaled $13.0 million, with interest rates ranging from 1.8% to 6.0% and maturities from the first quarter of 2017 until the fourth quarter of 2019. Future payments for the Company's capital lease obligations are included in the annual maturities table. |

| Earnings Per Share and Equity | Note 9: Earnings Per Share and Equity Earnings Per Share Calculations of net income per common share attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation are as follows (in millions, except per share data):
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and assumed issuance of shares relating to restricted stock units is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Share-based awards whose impact is considered to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation. The excluded number of anti-dilutive share-based awards was approximately 1.7 million, 1.3 million and 6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The dilutive impact related to the Company's 1.00% Notes and 2.625% Notes, Series B is determined in accordance with the net share settlement requirements prescribed by ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Under the net share settlement calculation, the Company's Convertible Notes are assumed to be convertible into cash up to the par value, with the excess of par value being convertible into common stock. A dilutive effect occurs when the stock price exceeds the conversion price for each of the convertible notes. In periods when the share price is lower than the conversion price, including 2014, the impact is anti-dilutive and therefore has no impact on the Company's earnings per share calculations. Additionally, if the average price of the Company's common stock exceeds $25.96 per share for a reporting period, the Company will also include the effect of the additional potential shares, using the treasury stock method, that may be issued related to the warrants that were issued concurrently with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes. 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 1.00% Notes when the stock price is above $18.50 per share. See Note 8: ''Long-Term Debt'' for a discussion of the conversion prices and other features of the 1.00% Notes and the 2.625% Notes, Series B. Equity Share Repurchase Program Effective August 1, 2012, the Company implemented a share repurchase program for up to $300.0 million of its common stock over a three year period, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. This program was terminated on December 1, 2014 with approximately $46.3 million remaining of the total authorized amount. On December 1, 2014, the Company announced a capital allocation policy (the "Capital Allocation Policy") under which the Company intends to return to stockholders approximately 80 percent of free cash flow, less repayments of long-term debt, subject to a variety of factors, including our strategic plans, market and economic conditions and the Board’s discretion. For the purposes of the Capital Allocation Policy, the Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. The Company also announced a new share repurchase program (the "2014 Share Repurchase Program") pursuant to the Capital Allocation Policy. Under the 2014 Share Repurchase Program, the Company intends to repurchase approximately $1.0 billion of its common shares over a four year period, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses, subject to the same factors and considerations described above. The 2014 Share Repurchase Program was effective December 1, 2014. There were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock under its share repurchase program during the year ended December 31, 2016 as the Company focused on building up cash reserves for the Fairchild Transaction, which was completed on September 19, 2016. Information relating to the Company's share repurchase programs is as follows (in millions, except per share data):
_______________________ (1) None of these shares had been reissued or retired as of December 31, 2016, but may be reissued or retired by the Company at a later date. (2) Represents unpaid amounts recorded in accrued expenses on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the beginning of the period. (3) Represents unpaid amounts recorded in accrued expenses on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the end of the period. (4) Exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses. (5) Includes 5.4 million shares, totaling $70.0 million, repurchased concurrently with the issuance of the 1.00% Notes. See Note 8: ''Long-Term Debt'' for information with respect to the Company's long-term debt. Shares for Restricted Stock Units Tax Withholding Treasury stock is recorded at cost and is presented as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Shares, with a fair market value equal to the applicable statutory minimum amount of the employee withholding taxes due, are withheld by the Company upon the vesting of restricted stock units to pay the applicable statutory minimum amount of employee withholding taxes and are considered common stock repurchases. The Company then pays the applicable statutory minimum amount of withholding taxes in cash. The amounts remitted in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $12.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld approximately 1.3 million and 1.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the restricted stock units that vested. None of these shares had been reissued or retired as of December 31, 2016, but may be reissued or retired by the Company at a later date. Non-Controlling Interest The Company's entity which operates assembly and test operations in Leshan, China is owned by a joint venture company, Leshan-Phoenix Semiconductor Company Limited (“Leshan”). The Company owns 80%, of the outstanding equity interests in Leshan and its investment in Leshan has been consolidated in the Company's financial statements. At December 31, 2016, the non-controlling interest balance was $21.8 million. This balance included the non-controlling interest's $2.4 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2016 offset by $4.3 million of dividends paid to the non-controlling shareholder. At December 31, 2015, the non-controlling interest balance was $23.7 million. This balance included the non-controlling interest's $2.8 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company acquired an additional 10% of the outstanding equity interest in Leshan for approximately $20.4 million, which was greater than the $10.1 million carrying value of the representative interest in Leshan at the time of the transaction. The Company recorded the $10.3 million difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of the non-controlling interest as additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2014. This balance was further decreased to $20.9 million at December 31, 2014 due to the non-controlling interest's $2.4 million share of the earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014, offset by approximately $4.2 million of dividends paid to the non-controlling stockholder. |

| Share-Based Compensation | Note 10: Share-Based Compensation Total share-based compensation expense related to the Company's employee stock options, restricted stock units, stock grant awards and ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was comprised as follows (in millions):
____________________
At December 31, 2016, total unrecognized estimated share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock options was less than $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years. At December 31, 2016, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock units with time-based service conditions and performance-based vesting criteria was $61.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $6.8 million. The Company recorded cash received from the exercise of stock options of $14.9 million and cash from the issuance of shares under the ESPP of $15.0 million and no related tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2016. Upon option exercise, release of restricted stock units, 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 time based and performance based RSU and stock grant award is determined on the grant date and is equal to the Company's closing stock price on the grant date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option valuation model. The lattice-based model uses: (1) a constant volatility; (2) an employee exercise behavior model (based on an analysis of historical exercise behavior); and (3) the treasury yield curve to calculate the fair value of each option grant. There were no employee stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income 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. Pre-vesting forfeitures for stock options were estimated to be approximately 11% in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Pre-vesting forfeitures for restricted stock units were estimated to be approximately 5% in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Plan Descriptions On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2000 SIP") which provided key employees, directors and consultants with various equity-based incentives as described in the plan document. Prior to February 17, 2010, stockholders had approved amendments to the 2000 SIP which increased the number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved and available for grant to 30.5 million, plus an additional number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to 3% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock effective automatically on January 1st of each year beginning January 1, 2005 and ending January 1, 2010. On February 17, 2010, the 2000 SIP expired and the Company ceased granting under the plan. Options granted pursuant to the 2000 SIP that remain outstanding continue to be exercisable or subject to vesting pursuant to the underlying option agreements. On March 23, 2010, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated SIP, which was subsequently approved by the Company's stockholders at the annual stockholder meeting on May 18, 2010. The Amended and Restated SIP provides key employees, directors and consultants with various equity-based incentives as described in the plan document. The Amended and Restated SIP is administered by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which is authorized to determine, among other things, the key employees, directors or consultants who will receive awards under the plan, the amount and type of award, exercise prices or performance criteria, if applicable, and vesting schedules. On May 15, 2012, stockholders approved certain amendments to the Amended and Restated SIP to increase the number of shares of common stock subject to all awards under the Amended and Restated SIP by 33.0 million to 59.1 million, exclusive of shares of common stock subject to awards that were previously granted pursuant to the 2000 SIP that have or will become available for grant pursuant to the Amended and Restated SIP. Generally, the options granted under the 2000 SIP and Amended and Restated SIP vest over a period of three to four years and have a contractual term of 10 years and 7 years, respectively. Under both plans, certain outstanding options vest automatically upon a change of control, as defined in the respective plan document, provided the option holder is employed by the Company on the date of the change in control. Certain other outstanding options may also vest upon a change of control if the Board of Directors of the Company, at its discretion, provides for acceleration of the vesting of said options. Generally, upon the termination of an option holder's employment, all unvested options will immediately terminate and vested options will generally remain exercisable for a period of 90 days after the date of termination (one year in the case of death or disability). Generally, restricted stock units granted under the 2000 SIP and the Amended and Restated SIP vest over three years or based on the achievement of certain performance criteria and are payable in shares of the Company's stock upon vesting. As of December 31, 2016, there was an aggregate of 19.8 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Amended and Restated SIP. Stock Options A summary of stock option transactions for all stock option plans follows (in millions except per share and contractual term data):
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 3.3 million of outstanding stock options, representing stock options that previously vested and those which are expected to vest, with a weighted-average exercise price of $7.75. Net stock options, after forfeitures and cancellations, granted during the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 represented (0.01)% and (0.02)% of outstanding shares as of the beginning of each such fiscal year, respectively. Additional information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2016 with exercise prices less than or above $12.76 per share, the closing price of the Company's common stock at December 31, 2016, follows (number of shares in millions):
Restricted Stock Units A summary of the restricted stock unit transactions for the year ended December 31, 2016 follows (number of shares in millions):
During 2016, the Company awarded 2.0 million restricted stock units to certain officers and employees of the Company that vest upon the achievement of certain performance criteria. 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. As of December 31, 2016, unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures related to non-vested restricted stock units granted under the Amended and Restated SIP with time-based and performance-based conditions, was $45.2 million and $16.1 million, respectively. For restricted stock units with time-based service conditions, expense is being recognized over the vesting period; for restricted stock units with performance criteria, expense is recognized over the period during which the performance criteria is expected to be achieved. Unrecognized compensation cost related to awards with certain performance criteria that are not expected to be achieved is not included here. Total compensation expense related to both performance-based and service-based restricted stock units was $49.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which included $31.7 million for restricted stock units with time-based service conditions that were granted in 2016 and prior that are expected to vest. Stock Grant Awards During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company granted 0.2 million shares of stock under stock grant awards to certain directors of the Company with immediate vesting at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $9.81 per share. Total compensation expense related to stock grant awards for the year ended December 31, 2016 was approximately $1.8 million. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On February 17, 2000, the Company adopted the ESPP. Subject to local legal requirements, each of the Company's eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 10% of eligible payroll applied towards the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of such shares as determined under the plan. Employees are limited to annual purchases of $25,000 under this plan. In addition, during each quarterly offering period, employees may not purchase stock exceeding the lesser of (i) 500 shares, or (ii) the number of shares equal to $6,250 divided by the fair market value of the stock on the first day of the offering period. During the year ended December 31, 2016, employees purchased approximately 1.8 million shares under the ESPP. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, employees purchased approximately 1.7 million and 1.3 million shares, respectively, under the ESPP. Through May 2013, stockholders had approved amendments to the ESPP, which increased the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable thereunder to 18.0 million shares. On May 20, 2015, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s ESPP which increased the number of shares reserved and available to be issued pursuant to the ESPP by 5.5 million to a total of 23.5 million. As of December 31, 2016, there were approximately 4.9 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP. |

| Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Defined Benefit Postretirement Plans Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Employee Benefit Plans | Note 11: Employee Benefit Plans Defined Benefit Plans The Company maintains defined benefit 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 financial statements. 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 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 Company's 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 Company's current assessment of the economic environment and projected benefit payments of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company's measurement date for determining its defined benefit obligations for all plans is December 31 of each year. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses in the period the Company's annual pension plan actuarial valuations are prepared, which generally occurs during the fourth quarter of each year, or during any interim period where a revaluation is deemed necessary. The total liability at December 31, 2016 includes $8.3 million of accrued pension liabilities assumed by the Company in connection with the Fairchild acquisition. 2014 Activity and Effect of Voluntary Retirement Programs The Company recorded a pension curtailment gain of $6.6 million included in Restructuring, asset impairments and other, net for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to the former System Solution Group voluntary retirement programs and KSS facility closure. The Company recognized approximately $7.4 million of actuarial losses associated with these programs for the year ended December 31, 2014. The following is a summary of the status of the Company's foreign defined benefit pension plans and the net periodic pension cost (dollars in millions):
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the assets of the Company's foreign plans were invested 18% and 18% in equity securities, 20% and 21% in debt securities, including corporate bonds, 44% and 47% in insurance and investment contracts, 3% and 3% in cash and 15% and 11% in other investments, including foreign government securities, equity securities and mutual funds. This asset allocation is 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 long term rate of return on plan assets was determined using the weighted-average method, which incorporates factors that include the historical inflation rates, interest rate yield curve and current market conditions. 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. The fair value measurement of plan assets in the Company's foreign pension plans as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, was as follows (in millions):
_______________________
When available, the Company uses observable market data, including pricing on recently closed market transactions and quoted prices, which are included in Level 2. When data is unobservable, valuation methodologies using comparable market data are utilized and included in Level 3. Activity during the year ended December 31, 2016 for plan assets with fair value measurement using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) was as follows (in millions):
The expected benefit payments for the Company's defined benefit plans by year from 2017 through 2021 and the five years thereafter are as follows (in millions):
The total underfunded status was $102.1 million at December 31, 2016. The Company expects to contribute $8.3 million during 2017 to its foreign defined benefit plans. Defined Contribution Plans The Company has a deferred compensation savings plan for all eligible U.S. employees established under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees may contribute a percentage of their salary subject to certain limitations. The Company has elected to have a matching contribution of 100% of the first 4% of employee contributions. The Company recognized $14.0 million, $13.6 million and $8.5 million of expense relating to matching contributions in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Certain foreign subsidiaries have defined contribution plans in which eligible employees participate. The Company recognized compensation expense of $8.9 million, $3.1 million and $3.2 million relating to these plans for the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commitments and Contingencies | Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies Leases The following is a schedule by year of future minimum lease obligations under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2016 (in millions):
The Company's existing leases do not contain significant restrictive provisions; however, certain leases contain renewal options and provisions for payment by the Company of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Total rent expense associated with operating leases for 2016, 2015, and 2014 was $31.1 million, $27.7 million, and $22.7 million, respectively. Purchase Obligations The Company has agreements with suppliers, external manufacturers and other parties to purchase inventory, manufacturing services and other goods and services. The following is a schedule by year of future minimum purchase obligations under non-cancelable arrangements in the ordinary course of business as of December 31, 2016 (in millions):
Environmental Contingencies The Company’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona is 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 have been involved in the cleanup of on-site solvent contaminated soil and groundwater and off-site contaminated groundwater pursuant to consent decrees with the State of Arizona. As part of the Company's August 4, 1999 recapitalization (the "Recapitalization"), Motorola retained responsibility for this contamination, and Motorola and Freescale have agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to remediation costs and other costs or liabilities related to this matter. As part of the Recapitalization, the Company received various manufacturing facilities, one of which is located in the Czech Republic. In regards to this site, the Company has ongoing remediation projects to respond to releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to the Recapitalization during the years that this facility was operated by government-owned entities. In each case, the remediation project consists primarily of monitoring groundwater wells located on-site and off-site with additional action plans developed to respond in the event activity levels are exceeded at each of the respective locations. The government of the Czech Republic has agreed to indemnify the Company and the respective subsidiaries, subject to specified limitations, for remediation costs associated with this historical contamination. Based upon the information available, total future remediation costs to the Company are not expected to be material. 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. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material. As a result of the acquisition of AMIS, the Company is a “primary responsible party” to an environmental remediation and cleanup at AMIS’s former corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California. Costs incurred by AMIS have included 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 cleanup at this location. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material. The Company's former front-end manufacturing location in Aizu, Japan is located on property where soil and ground water contamination have been detected. The Company believes that the contamination originally occurred during a time when the facility was operated by a prior owner. The Company has worked with local authorities to implement a remediation plan and expects remaining remediation costs to be covered by insurance. Based on information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material. Through its acquisition of Fairchild, the Company acquired facilities in South Portland, Maine and West Jordan, Utah. These two facilities have 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 Texas Instruments, Inc. Although the Company may incur certain liabilities with respect to the above remediation projects, pursuant to the 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. Additionally, under the 1999 asset purchase agreement pursuant to which Fairchild purchased the power device business of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“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. The costs incurred to respond to the above conditions and projects have not been, and are not expected to be, material, and any future payments the Company makes in connection with such liabilities are not expected to be material and are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or statements of cash flows. The Company was notified by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under CERCLA in the Chemetco Superfund matter. Chemetco is a defunct reclamation services supplier who operated in Illinois at what is now a Superfund site. The Company used Chemetco for reclamation services. The EPA is pursuing Chemetco customers for contribution to the site cleanup activities. The Company has joined a PRP group which is cooperating with the EPA in the evaluation and funding of the cleanup. Based on the information available, any costs to the Company in connection with this matter have not been, and are not expected to be, material. Financing Contingencies In the normal 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 such as, but not limited to, purchase commitments, agreements to mitigate collection risk, leases, utilities or customs guarantees. The Company's senior revolving credit facility includes $15.0 million of availability for the issuance of letters of credit. There were no letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2016. The Company had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit outside of its senior revolving credit facility totaling $6.7 million as of December 31, 2016. As part of obtaining financing in the normal course of business, the Company issued guarantees related to certain of its capital lease obligations, equipment financing, lines of credit and real estate mortgages, which totaled approximately $130.7 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company is also a guarantor of SCI LLC's non-collateralized loan with SMBC, which had a balance of $160.4 million as of December 31, 2016. See Note 8: ''Long-Term Debt'' for further information with respect to the Company's loan with SMBC. Based on historical experience and information currently available, the Company believes that in the foreseeable future 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 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. 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 agreements, certificates of incorporation, by-laws, articles of association or similar organizational documents, as the case may be. The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance, which should enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. On February 19, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a form of indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) and authorized the Company to enter into an indemnification agreement in substantially the form of the Indemnification Agreement with each of its directors and executive officers (each, an “Indemnitee”). The Indemnification Agreement clarifies and supplements the indemnification rights and obligations of the Indemnitee and Company already included in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, subject to certain exceptions specified in the Indemnification Agreement, the Company will indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in the event the Indemnitee becomes subject to or a participant in certain claims or proceedings as a result of the Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer. The Company will also, subject to certain exceptions and repayment conditions, advance to the Indemnitee specified indemnifiable expenses incurred in connection with such claims or proceedings. The Fairchild Agreement provides for indemnification and insurance rights in favor of Fairchild’s then current and former directors, officers and employees. Specifically, the Company has agreed that, for no fewer than six years following the Fairchild acquisition, (a) it will indemnify and hold harmless each such indemnitee against losses and expenses (including advancement of attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any proceeding asserted against the indemnified party in connection with such person’s servings as a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of Fairchild or its subsidiaries prior to the effective time of the acquisition, (b) it will maintain in effect all provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries or any other agreements of Fairchild or any of its subsidiaries with any indemnified party regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses in existence on the date of the Fairchild Agreement for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition and (c) subject to certain qualifications, it will provide to Fairchild’s then current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the effective time of the acquisition that is no less favorable than Fairchild’s then-existing policy, or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage. 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. Legal Matters From time to time, we are 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 intellectual property rights, claims of alleged non-compliance with contract provisions and claims related to alleged violations of laws and regulations. We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or an additional loss, may have been incurred and determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of possible loss can be made for disclosure. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, the Company believes that it has adequate provisions for any probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the resolution of a legal proceeding. The Company’s estimates do not represent its maximum exposure. 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 normal course of business. Based on information currently available, except as disclosed below, 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 and the administrative process at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) are inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot guarantee that the outcome of these matters will be favorable for it. Patent Litigation with Power Integrations, Inc. There are eight outstanding civil litigation proceedings with Power Integrations, Inc. (“PI”), five of which were pending between PI and Fairchild prior to the acquisition of Fairchild. The Company is vigorously defending the lawsuits filed by PI and believes that it has strong defenses. There are also 12 outstanding administrative proceedings in which the Company is challenging the validity of PI patents at the USPTO. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Any estimate or statement in this Form 10-K regarding any reserve or the estimated range of possible losses is made solely in compliance with applicable GAAP requirements, and is not a statement or admission that the Company is or should be liable in any amount, or that any arguments, motions or appeals before any Court lack merit or are subject to impeachment. To the contrary, the Company believes that it has significant and meritorious grounds for judgment in its favor with respect to all of the PI cases and that the Company’s appeals or motions currently pending at the district court level will significantly reduce or eliminate all prior adverse jury verdicts. Subject to the foregoing, as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, the Company estimates its range of possible losses for all PI cases to be between approximately $4 million and $20 million. Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al. (October 20, 2004, Delaware, 1:04-cv-01371-LPS): PI filed this lawsuit in 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Fairchild and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation. PI alleged that certain of Fairchild’s pulse width modulation (“PWM”) integrated circuit products infringed four PI U.S. patents and sought a permanent injunction preventing Fairchild from manufacturing, selling or offering the products for sale in the United States, or from importing the products into the United States, as well as money damages for past infringement. In October 2006, a jury returned a verdict finding that thirty-three of Fairchild’s PWM products willfully infringed one or more of seven claims asserted in the four patents and assessed damages against Fairchild. Fairchild voluntarily stopped U.S. sales and importation of those products in 2007 and has been offering replacement products since 2006. In December 2008, the judge overseeing the case reduced the jury’s 2006 damages award from $34.0 million to approximately $6.1 million and ordered a new trial on the issue of willfulness. Following the new trial held in June 2009, the court found Fairchild’s infringement to have been willful, and in January 2011 the court awarded PI final damages in the amount of $12.2 million. Fairchild appealed the final damages award, willfulness finding, and other issues to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In March 2013, the Court of Appeals vacated almost the entire damages award, ruling that there was no basis upon which a reasonable jury could find Fairchild liable for induced infringement. The Court of Appeals also vacated the earlier judgment of willful patent infringement. The full Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States have since denied PI’s request to review the Court of Appeals ruling. The Court of Appeals instructed the lower court to conduct further proceedings to determine damages based on approximately $500,000 to $750,000 worth of sales and imports of affected products, and this case remains in the District Court of Delaware on that basis. The Company believes that damages on the basis of that level of infringing activity would not be material. PI has further requested the lower court to re-instate the earlier judgment of willful infringement, and that request remains pending with the court. Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al. (May 23, 2008, Delaware, 1:08-cv-00309-LPS): This lawsuit was initiated by PI in 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Fairchild, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, System General Corporation (now named Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation), alleging infringement of three patents. Of the three patents asserted in this lawsuit, two had been asserted against Fairchild and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the October 2004 lawsuit described above. In 2011, PI added a fourth patent to this case. On October 14, 2008, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and System General Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain PWM integrated circuit products infringe one or more of two U.S. patents owned by System General Corporation. The lawsuit sought monetary damages and an injunction preventing the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of PI products found to infringe the asserted patents. The lawsuits were consolidated and heard together in a jury trial in April 2012, during which the jury found that PI infringed one of the two U.S. patents owned by Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation and upheld the validity of both of the System General Corporation patents. In the same verdict, the jury found that Fairchild infringed two of four U.S. patents asserted by PI and that Fairchild had induced its customers to infringe the asserted patents. (The court later ruled that Fairchild infringed one other asserted PI patent that the jury found was not infringed.) The jury also upheld the validity of the asserted PI patents. On June 30, 2014, the court issued an order enjoining Fairchild from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing into the United States the products found to infringe the PI patents as well as certain products that were similar to the products found to infringe. Willfulness and damages will be determined in the next phase of the case, which has yet to be scheduled. Fairchild and PI appealed the liability phase of this trial to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which heard arguments in July 2016 and issued a decision in December 2016. In the decision, the appeals court vacated the jury’s finding that Fairchild induced infringement of PI’s patents, held that one of PI’s patents was invalid, vacated the permanent injunction against Fairchild, reversed the jury’s finding that PI infringed the Fairchild (Taiwan) Corporation patent, and remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings consistent with these rulings. Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. (November 4, 2009, Northern District of California, 3:09-cv-05235-MMC): In 2009, PI sued Fairchild in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that several of Fairchild’s products infringe three of PI’s patents. Fairchild filed counterclaims asserting that PI infringed two Fairchild patents. A trial was held in February 2014 on two PI patents and one Fairchild patent. In March 2014, the jury found that Fairchild willfully infringed both PI patents, awarding PI $105.0 million in damages and finding that PI did not infringe the Fairchild patent. Both parties filed various post-trial motions, which were denied by the court with the exception of Fairchild’s motion to set aside the jury’s determination that it acted willfully. In September 2014, the court granted Fairchild’s motion and determined that, as a matter of law, Fairchild’s actions were not willful. Fairchild continued to challenge several other aspects of the verdict during post-trial review. Specifically, Fairchild asserted that the damages award included legal and evidentiary defects that were inconsistent with recent rulings by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In November 2014, the trial court ruled that the jury lacked sufficient evidence on which to base its damages award and, consequently, vacated the $105.0 million verdict and ordered a second trial on damages. In February 2015, the court denied PI’s request to enjoin the Fairchild products that were found to infringe, finding, among other things, that the evidence at trial failed to establish a causal connection between the alleged harm and the alleged infringement. The court ruled that PI could request an injunction after the second trial on damages, but PI has since indicated that it no longer intends to pursue a permanent injunction on the products found to infringe. The second damages trial was held in December 2015. In December 2015, a jury awarded PI $139.8 million in damages. Fairchild filed a number of post-trial motions challenging the verdict on several grounds, including several that are similar to challenges to the earlier damages verdict in the case, and the court ruled against Fairchild on these motions and awarded PI approximately $7 million in pre-judgment interest. Following the court’s rulings on these issues, PI moved the court for the enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees in January 2016, and Fairchild opposed that motion. On January 23, 2017 the court reinstated the jury’s willful infringement finding from March 2014, but denied PI’s motion for enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees in its entirety. The Company plans to appeal the current damages award as well as the 2014 verdict finding that PI’s patents were infringed and valid. Further, all claims of the two PI patents found to be infringed by Fairchild are under review in already-instituted inter partes administrative proceedings at the USPTO. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. v. Power Integrations (May 1, 2012, Delaware, 1:12-cv-00540-LPS): In May 2012, Fairchild sued PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit accuses PI’s LinkSwitch-PH LED power conversion products of violating three of Fairchild’s patents. PI filed counterclaims of patent infringement against Fairchild, asserting five PI patents. Of those five patents, the court granted Fairchild summary judgment of no infringement on one, PI voluntarily withdrew a second and was forced to remove a third patent during the trial, which began in May 2015. In June 2015, the jury found that PI induced infringement of Fairchild’s patent rights and awarded Fairchild $2.4 million in damages. The same jury found that Fairchild infringed a PI patent and awarded PI damages of $100,000. Following the issuance of the December 2016 appeals court decision in the litigation filed in Delaware in 2008 as described above, PI has asked the court in this action (which is the same court as the 2008 Delaware case) to vacate the jury’s finding that PI infringed Fairchild’s patent due to overlapping legal issues already decided by the appeals court. The Company continues to investigate the applicability of the December 2016 appeals court decision to this action as it may reduce Fairchild’s liability regarding the PI patent that the jury found Fairchild infringed. Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. et al. (October 21, 2015, Northern District of California, 3:15-cv-04854 MMC): In 2015, PI filed another complaint for patent infringement against Fairchild in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging Fairchild's switch mode power supply products willfully infringed two PI patents related to frequency jitter and light load frequency reduction. In the complaint, PI is seeking a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. Fairchild answered and counterclaimed, alleging infringement by PI of four Fairchild patents related to aspects of PI’s power conversion products. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages, and has been stayed pending the outcome of the Company’s administrative challenges to the two PI patents asserted against Fairchild. ON Semiconductor Corporation and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Power Integrations, Inc. (August 11, 2016, Arizona, 2:16-cv-02720-SPL): The Company and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively “ON Semi”), filed a lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. In the lawsuit, ON Semi is asserting claims of patent infringement on six of its patents related to aspects of PI’s power conversion products. In the complaint, ON Semi is seeking a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. The lawsuit also seeks a claim for a declaratory judgment for ON Semi of non-infringement of three of PI’s patents. All three of the PI patents at issue in the declaratory judgment claims are subject to ON Semi’s administrative challenges to those patents currently pending at the USPTO. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages. Power Integrations v. ON Semiconductor Corporation, and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (November 1, 2016, Northern District of California, 3:16-cv-06371-BLF): This lawsuit was initiated by PI in 2016 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against ON Semi, alleging infringement of six PI patents. Of the six PI patents asserted in this lawsuit, two overlap with ON Semi’s declaratory judgment claims in the August 2016 lawsuit in Arizona and are subject to ON Semi’s administrative challenges to those patents currently pending at the USPTO. In the complaint, PI alleges infringement and seeks a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages. ON Semiconductor Corporation and Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Power Integrations, Inc. (December 27, 2016, Eastern District of Texas, 2:16-cv-01451-JRG-RSP): ON Semi filed a lawsuit against PI in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division. In the lawsuit, ON Semi is asserting claims of patent infringement on six of its patents directed to aspects of PI’s InnoSwitch family of products. In the complaint, ON Semi is seeking a permanent injunction, unspecified damages, a trebling of damages, and an accounting of costs and fees. The lawsuit is in its earliest stages. Administrative Challenges to PI’s Patents Between March and August 2016, SCI LLC petitioned the USPTO to institute 12 inter partes reviews, each requesting cancellation of certain claims of six patents owned by PI that have been asserted against the Company, SCI LLC and Fairchild. The USPTO has instituted an inter partes trial, has indicated that SCI LLC is likely to prevail in showing that the challenged claims are unpatentable in seven out of the 10 petitions it has reviewed so far, and has indicated that SCI LLC is likely to prevail in showing that most of the challenged claims are unpatentable in another two petitions that the USPTO has reviewed thus far. The USPTO will make institution decisions on the remaining two petitions in the coming weeks. SCI LLC expects that each inter partes review proceeding will terminate in a Final Written Decision on the patentability of the challenged claims for which review has or will be instituted within one year from institution. Litigation with Acbel Polytech, Inc. On November 27, 2013, Fairchild and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation were named as defendants in a complaint filed by Acbel Polytech, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleges a number of causes of action, including breach of warranty, fraud, negligence and strict liability, and has been docketed as Acbel Polytech, Inc. v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al, Case # 1:13-CV-13046-DJC. Acbel seeks damages in an amount not less than $30 million, punitive damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company is vigorously defending the lawsuit and believes that it has strong defenses. Litigation Related to the Acquisition of Fairchild On December 14, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in a shareholder class action lawsuit filed in state court in Delaware against the Company, Merger Sub, Fairchild and certain directors of Fairchild with respect to the Fairchild Agreement entered into between our Merger Sub and Fairchild in November 2015, by which the Company commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Fairchild. The lawsuit alleged breach of duty by the individual defendants and aiding and abetting by the Company and the Merger Sub and was docketed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as Woo v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. et al, Case # 11798VCL. In March 2016, the plaintiff amended the complaint to allege that Fairchild’s failure to accept the proposal from a third party constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and that certain disclosures filed on Form 14D-9 were misleading or inaccurate. As relief, the amended complaint sought, among other things, an injunction against the tender offer and the merger that were part of the Fairchild Transaction, an accounting for damages, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 26, 2016, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit. On December 16, 2015, a purported stockholder in the Company filed a complaint challenging the tender offer for Fairchild and the merger in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara. The complaint was captioned Cody Laidlaw v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., et al., Case No. 15-cv-289120. The complaint listed as defendants Fairchild, its board of directors, Goldman Sachs and unnamed representatives of Goldman Sachs. The complaint alleged that the board of directors of Fairchild breached its fiduciary duties by failing to maximize the price to be paid for Fairchild and that Fairchild and the board of directors of Fairchild failed to provide Fairchild’s stockholders with all material information needed to make an informed decision whether to tender their shares of Fairchild common stock in the tender offer. The complaint further alleged that Goldman Sachs and its unnamed representatives aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty of Fairchild’s board of directors. As relief, the complaint sought, among other things, an injunction against the tender offer and the merger of Fairchild with and into Merger Sub and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. Fairchild filed a motion to dismiss on July 15, 2016, the plaintiff opposed the motion to dismiss on September 16, 2016, and on December 8, 2016, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit. Intellectual Property Matters The Company faces risk to exposure from claims of infringement of the IP rights of others. In the ordinary course of business, we receive letters asserting that the Company's products or components breach another party’s rights. These threats may seek that we make royalty payments, that we stop use of such rights, or other remedies. |

| Fair Value Measurements | Note 13: Fair Value Measurements Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in millions):
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the contingent consideration for the AXSEM acquisition was reduced from $5.0 million to $4.5 million due to the revision of the Company’s expectations of the Earn-out achievement.
Other The carrying amounts of other current assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair Value of Long-Term Debt, Including Current Portion The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings (excluding capital lease obligations, real estate mortgages and equipment financing) at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows (in millions):
_______________________ (1) Carrying amount shown is net of debt discounts and debt issuance costs. See Note 8: ''Long-Term Debt'' for additional information. The fair value of the Company's Convertible Notes was estimated based on market prices on 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Fair Values Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis Our non-financial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition 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. We determine the fair value of our held and used assets, goodwill and intangible assets using an income, cost or market approach as determined reasonable. See Note 5: ''Goodwill and Intangible Assets'' for a discussion of certain asset impairments. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no non-financial assets included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet that were remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The following table shows the adjustments to fair value of certain of the Company's non-financial assets that had an impact on the Company's results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in millions):
See Note 5: ''Goodwill and Intangible Assets'' for additional information with respect to impairment charges. Cost Method Investments Investments in equity securities that do not qualify for fair value accounting are accounted for under the cost method. Accordingly, the Company accounts for investments in companies that it does not control under the cost method, as applicable. If a decline in the fair value of a cost method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and the fair value becomes the new cost basis of the investment. The Company evaluates all of its cost method investments for impairment; however, it is not required to determine the fair value of its investment unless impairment indicators are present. As of each of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company's cost method investments had a carrying value of $12.3 million. |

| Financial Instruments | Note 14: Financial Instruments Foreign Currencies 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, or 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. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net outstanding foreign exchange contracts with net notional amounts of $95.9 million and $89.8 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. The following schedule summarizes the Company's net foreign exchange positions in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in millions):
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to its foreign exchange contracts fail to perform their obligations. As of December 31, 2016, the counterparties to the Company's foreign exchange contracts, as well as the cash flow hedges described below, are held at financial institutions which the Company believes to be highly rated and no credit-related losses are anticipated. Amounts receivable or payable under the contracts are included in other current assets or accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, realized and unrealized foreign currency transactions totaled a $0.7 million gain, a $1.5 million loss and a $3.1 million gain, respectively, and are included in other income and expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Cash Flow Hedges The Company is exposed to global market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company addresses these risks through controlled management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value and classified based on the instrument’s maturity date. The Company did not have outstanding derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a loss of $0.2 million associated with cash flow hedges recognized as a component of cost of revenues. See Note 13: "Fair Value Measurements" for information with respect to the balances of cash flow hedges. Other At December 31, 2016, 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. |

| Income Taxes | Note 15: Income Taxes The Company's geographic sources of income before income taxes and non-controlling interest are as follows (in millions):
The Company's provision for income taxes is as follows (in millions):
A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate is as follows:
The tax effects of temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, are as follows (in millions):
The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on a portion of its foreign tax credits and net operating losses ("NOLs"), a substantial portion, or $287.9 million, of which relate to Japan NOLs that expire in varying amounts from 2017 to 2024. In addition, the Company also maintains a valuation allowance in the U.S. on a portion of its foreign tax credit carryforwards and a full valuation allowance on its capital loss carryforwards and U.S. state deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s deferred tax assets do not include $194.5 million of excess tax deductions from employee equity exercises that are part of NOL carryforwards, which, if realized, will be accounted for as an addition to equity. See Note 3: "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" for the effective date of ASU 2016-09 impacting the accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The Company uses the with or without method when determining when excess benefits have been realized. The consummation of the Fairchild acquisition during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, caused us to reassess our prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion because of the U.S. debt incurred to fund the acquisition. See Note 8 “Long-Term Debt” for additional information. This resulted in a change in judgment regarding our future cash flows by jurisdiction and our prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion. The change in assertion, which resulted in recording a deferred tax liability for future U.S. taxes, had a direct impact on our judgment about the realizability of our U.S. federal deferred tax assets which resulted in a release of valuation allowance. The change in our prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion resulted in an increase to income tax expense of $310.8 million, which was partially offset by a benefit of $267.9 million relating to the release of valuation allowance. The reversal of the prior years' indefinite reinvestment assertion and release of the U.S. federal valuation allowance did not have an effect on our cash taxes. We have not made an indefinite reinvestment assertion related to current year foreign earnings. In addition to the release of valuation allowance mentioned above, in past periods, we recorded a significant valuation allowance against our Japan consolidated groups deferred tax assets. In order for the Company to release this valuation allowance a substantial amount of positive evidence regarding current and future earnings was required to outweigh the significant negative evidence associated with historical losses. We have reassessed our need for a valuation allowance for our Japan consolidated group as of December 31, 2016. Due to our recent trend of positive operating results, which resulted in the Japan group being in a cumulative 12-quarter income position as of the period ended December 31, 2016, as well as the recent realignment of the former System Solutions Group segment, we realized a $89.4 million net tax benefit related to the release of a portion of our valuation allowance, to reflect the amount of our deferred tax assets which we expect to realize in future years. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $1,203.6 million and $638.8 million, respectively, of federal NOL carryforwards, before reduction for uncertain tax positions, which are subject to annual limitations prescribed in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If not utilized, the NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2021 to 2036. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $211.9 million and $132.9 million, respectively, of federal credit carryforwards, before consideration of valuation allowance or reduction for uncertain tax positions, which are subject to annual limitations prescribed in Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code. If not utilized, the credits will expire in varying amounts from 2017 to 2036. Additionally, the Company acquired through the Fairchild acquisition a $29.0 million federal capital loss carryforward of which $26.2 million expired as of December 31, 2016, the remaining amount expires in 2018. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $1,191.2 million and $662.7 million, respectively, of state NOL carryforwards, before consideration of valuation allowance or reduction for uncertain tax positions. If not utilized, the NOLs will expire in varying amounts from 2017 to 2036. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $129.0 million and $51.3 million, respectively, of state credit carryforwards before consideration of valuation allowance or reduction for uncertain tax positions. If not utilized, a portion of the credits will begin to expire in varying amounts starting in 2017. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $1,078.8 million and $1,000.5 million, respectively, of foreign NOL carryforwards, before consideration of valuation allowance. If not utilized, a portion of the NOLs will begin to expire in varying starting in 2017. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $50.5 million and $34.3 million, respectively, of foreign credit carryforwards before consideration of valuation allowance. The majority of these credits have an indefinite life and do not expire. In general, the increases in the Company’s NOL and credit carryforward amounts are primarily due to acquired attributes as a result of the Fairchild acquisition. This income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2016 consisted primarily of the reversal of $359.8 million of our previously established valuation allowance against part of our U.S. federal and foreign deferred tax assets and the release of $1.9 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions which were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during the year ended December 31, 2016. This is partially offset by $310.8 million related to the reversal of the prior years’ indefinite reinvestment assertion and $43.5 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of our foreign and domestic operations and $3.5 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions. The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2015 consisted of the reversal of $12.1 million of our previously established valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets, the release of $4.3 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions that were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during the year ended December 31, 2015 and a change in tax rate that favorably impacted deferred balances by $1.6 million. This is partially offset by $24.4 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of the Company's foreign and domestic operations and $4.4 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions. The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted of the reversal of $23.3 million of our previously established valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of a net deferred tax liability recorded as part of the Truesense acquisition and the reversal of $4.6 million for reserves and interest for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions that were effectively settled or for which the statute lapsed during the year ended December 31, 2014. This is partially offset by $19.8 million for income and withholding taxes of certain of the Company's foreign and domestic operations, $4.6 million of new reserves and interest on existing reserves for uncertain tax positions in foreign taxing jurisdictions, and $3.3 million of deferred federal income taxes associated with tax deductible goodwill. Tax years prior to 2012 are generally not subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) except for items involving tax attributes that have been carried forward to tax years whose statute of limitations remains open. The Company is not currently under IRS examination. For state returns, the Company is generally not subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011. The Company is also subject to routine examinations by various foreign tax jurisdictions in which it operates. With respect to major jurisdictions outside the United States, our subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits for years prior to 2006. The Company is currently under audit in the following significant jurisdictions: Malaysia, China, Philippines, and Japan. The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. These liabilities involve considerable judgment and estimation and are continuously monitored by management based on the best information available, including changes in tax regulations, the outcome of relevant court cases, and other information. The Company is currently under examination by various taxing authorities. Although the outcome of any tax audit is uncertain, the Company believes that it has adequately provided in its consolidated financial statements for any additional taxes that the Company may be required to pay as a result of such examinations. If the payment ultimately proves not to be necessary, the reversal of these tax liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period the Company determines such liabilities are no longer necessary. However, if an ultimate tax assessment exceeds the Company's estimate of tax liabilities, additional tax expense will be recorded. The impact of such adjustments could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations in future periods. The activity for unrecognized gross tax benefits for 2016, 2015, and 2014 is as follows (in millions):
For the period ended December 31, 2016, the Company performed a U.S. R&D tax credit study which covered the years from 2012 to 2015. The results of the study were recorded during the period ended December 31, 2016. As a result the uncertain tax position related to the outcome of the prior year study was also recorded. Included in the December 31, 2016 balance of $136.7 million is $125.5 million related to unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. Although we cannot predict the timing of resolution with taxing authorities, if any, we believe it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax positions will be reduced by $3.8 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 $0.5 million of tax expenses for interest and penalties during the year ended December 31, 2016, and recognized approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million of tax expenses for interest and penalties during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had approximately $4.4 million, $3.9 million, and $3.2 million of accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. |

| Segment Information | Note 18: Segment Information During the third quarter of 2016, the Company realigned its segments into three operating segments to optimize efficiencies resulting from the acquisition of Fairchild. These operating segments also represent its three reporting segments: Power Solutions Group, Analog Solutions Group, and Image Sensor Group. The results of the System Solutions Group, which was previously the Company’s fourth operating segment, and which did not have goodwill, are now part of the three operating segments and previously-reported information has been presented based on the new structure to reflect the current organizational structure. The Company’s Power and Analog Solutions Groups include the business acquired in the Fairchild Transaction. See Note 4: ''Acquisitions and Divestitures'' for additional information with respect to the Company's recent acquisitions. Each of the Company's major product lines has been examined and each product line has been assigned to a reportable segment, as illustrated in the table below, 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.
_______________________
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on segment revenues and gross profit. The Company's wafer manufacturing facilities fabricate ICs for all business units, as necessary, and their operating costs are reflected in the segments' cost of revenues on the basis of product costs. Because operating segments are generally defined by the products they design and sell, they do not make sales to each other. The Company does not discretely allocate assets to its operating segments, nor does management evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. In addition to the operating and reporting segments mentioned above, the Company also operates global operations, sales and marketing, information systems, finance and administration groups that are led by vice presidents who report to the Chief Executive Officer. A portion of the expenses of these groups are allocated to the segments based on specific and general criteria and are included in the segment results reported below. 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, net and certain other manufacturing and operating expenses, which include corporate research and development costs, unallocated inventory reserves and miscellaneous nonrecurring expenses, are not allocated to any segment. Revenues and gross profit for the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are as follows (in millions):
Gross profit shown above and below is exclusive of the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets. Depreciation expense is included in segment gross profit. Reconciliations of segment gross profit to consolidated gross profit are as follows (in millions):
The Company's consolidated assets are not specifically ascribed to its individual reporting segments. Rather, assets used in operations are generally shared across the Company's reporting segments. The Company operates in various geographic locations. Sales to unaffiliated customers have little correlation with the location of manufacturers. It is, therefore, not meaningful to present operating profit by geographical location. Revenues by geographic location, including local sales made by operations within each area, based on sales billed from the respective country, are summarized as follows (in millions):
Property, plant and equipment, net by geographic location, are summarized as follows (in millions):
For the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, there were no individual customers, including distributors, which accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total consolidated revenues. |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
| Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies that represent less than 20% of the related ownership interests where the Company does not have the ability to exert significant influence are accounted for as cost method investments. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) measurement of valuation allowances relating to trade receivables, inventories and deferred tax assets; (ii) estimates of future payouts for customer incentives and allowances, warranties, and restructuring activities; (iii) assumptions surrounding future pension obligations; (iv) fair values of share-based compensation and of financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments); (v) evaluations of uncertain tax positions; (vi) estimates and assumptions used in connection with business combinations; and (vii) future cash flows used to assess and test for impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, if applicable. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with reputable major financial institutions. If, due to current economic conditions, one or more of the financial institutions with which the Company maintains deposits fails, the Company's cash and cash equivalents may be at risk. Deposits with these banks generally exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, as a result of the quality of the respective financial institutions, management believes these deposits bear minimal risk. |
||||||||||||
| Short-Term Investments | Short-Term Investments Short-term investments include held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities. Held-to-maturity securities have an original maturity to the Company between three months and one year and are carried at amortized cost as it is the intent of the Company to hold these securities until maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value and the net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes. |
||||||||||||
| Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts In the normal course of business, the Company provides non-collateralized credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for probable losses on uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company routinely analyzes accounts receivable and considers history, customer creditworthiness, facts and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, current economic trends, and payment term changes when evaluating adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. |
||||||||||||
| Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. 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. 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 excess of anticipated demand, is written down, impacting cost of revenues and gross profit. If demand recovers and the parts previously written down are sold, a higher than normal margin will generally be recognized. 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 immaterial and the related impact on the Company's gross profit has also been immaterial. |
||||||||||||
| Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over estimated useful lives of 30-50 years for buildings and 3-20 years for 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 accounts 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 amount 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 are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. 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 | 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 high-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. The income approach 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 transactions or offerings for economically comparable assets available as of the valuation date. |
||||||||||||
| Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the Company's acquisitions. The Company evaluates its 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. The Company's impairment evaluation of goodwill consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company follows a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test to determine if goodwill is impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including 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 and long-term growth rates. The Company determines the fair value of its 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 revenues, gross profits, 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. Changes in these estimates based on evolving economic conditions or business strategies could result in material impairment charges in future periods. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company has determined that its divisions, which are components of its operating segments, constitute reporting units for purposes of allocating and testing goodwill. The Company’s divisions are one level below the operating segments, constituting individual businesses, with the Company’s segment management conducting regular reviews of the operating results. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets associated with that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets associated with the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If, during this second step, the Company determines that the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied value, the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. |
||||||||||||
| Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets The Company's acquisitions have resulted in intangible assets consisting of values assigned to customer relationships; patents; developed technology; IPRD; and trademarks. These are stated at cost less accumulated amortization, 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. 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 are measured as the amount by which the carrying value of an asset group exceeds its fair value and are recognized in operating results. 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 an asset group. The dynamic economic environment in which the Company operates and the resulting assumptions used to estimate future cash flows impact the outcome of these impairment tests. |
||||||||||||
| Treasury Stock | Treasury Stock Treasury stock is recorded at cost, inclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses, when outstanding common shares are repurchased by the Company, including when outstanding shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with certain shares pursuant to restricted stock units under the Company's share-based compensation plans. |

| Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs for line-of-credit agreements, including the Company's senior revolving credit facility, are capitalized and amortized over the term of the underlying agreements using the effective interest method. Amortization of these debt issuance costs is included in interest expense while the unamortized balance is included in other assets. Debt issuance costs for the Company's convertible notes are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the convertible notes, consistent with debt discounts, and are amortized over the term of the convertible notes using the effective interest method. Amortization of these debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. |

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue from sales of its semiconductor products to OEMs, electronic manufacturing service providers and distributors. The Company also generates revenue, to a much lesser extent, from manufacturing and design services provided to customers. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss pass to the customer (generally upon shipment), the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for related sales returns and allowances. For products sold to distributors who are entitled to returns and allowances (generally referred to as “ship and credit rights” within the semiconductor industry), the Company recognizes the related revenue and cost of revenues depending on if the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor or legacy Fairchild systems and processes. If the sale originated through an ON Semiconductor system and process, revenue is recognized when ON Semiconductor is informed by the distributor that it has resold the products to the end-user. As a result of the Company’s inability to reliably estimate up front the effects of the returns and allowances with these distributors for sales originating through an ON Semiconductor system and process, the Company defers the related revenue and gross margin on sales to these distributors until it is informed by the distributor that the products have been resold to the end-user, at which time the ultimate sales price is known. Legacy Fairchild’s systems and processes enable the Company to estimate up front the effects of returns and allowances provided to the distributors and thereby record the net revenue at the time of sale related to a legacy Fairchild system and process. Although payment terms vary, most distributor agreements require payment within 30 days. For products sold to non-distributors, sales returns and allowances are estimated based on historical experience. The Company’s OEM 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 with respect to discontinued or slow-moving products. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized, and are netted against revenues. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activities and records provisions, as necessary. Freight and handling costs are included in cost of revenues and are recognized as period expense when incurred. Taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue-producing transactions, including value-added and excise taxes, are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the statement of operations. Warranty Reserves and Discounts 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 that is the greater of (i) two years from the date of shipment or (ii) the period of time specified in the customer's standard warranty (provided that the customer's standard warranty is stated in writing and extended to purchasers at no additional charge). At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with its sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. In addition, the Company also offers cash discounts to certain customers for payments received within an agreed upon time, generally ten days after shipment. The Company records a reserve for cash discounts as a reduction to accounts receivable and a reduction to revenues, based on experience with each customer. |

| Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period. The Company has outstanding awards with performance, time and service-based vesting provisions. |

| Income Taxes | 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. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, estimated future taxable income, as well as feasible tax planning strategies for each taxing jurisdiction 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. 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 material increases or decreases in income tax expense in the period in which the change is made, which could have a material impact to the Company's effective tax rate. |

| Foreign Currencies | Foreign Currencies Most of the Company's foreign subsidiaries conduct business primarily in U.S. dollars and, as a result, utilize the 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. The majority 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 revenues 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 | Defined Benefit Pension Plans The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans, covering certain of its foreign employees. For financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension costs and pension obligations are determined based upon a number of 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. |
||||||||||||
| Contingencies | Contingencies The Company is involved in a variety of legal matters, intellectual property matters, environmental, financing and indemnification contingencies that arise in the normal course of business. Based on 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. |
||||||||||||
| Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement The Company measures certain of its financial and non-financial assets at fair value by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes certain inputs into individual fair value measurement approaches. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Companies may choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected must be reported in earnings. The Company has elected not to carry any of its debt instruments at fair value. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU’s Adopted: ASU No. 2015-17 - “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”) In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, which requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company elected early adoption as of the interim period beginning October 3, 2015, effective for the annual period ended December 31, 2015, and selected the prospective application. Prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted. ASU 2015-05 - “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” (“ASU 2015-05”) In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, which provides guidance regarding the accounting for fees paid by a customer in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2015-05 amended ASC 350-40-25-16 by removing the language that stated licenses for internal-use software from third parties should be analogized to the subtopic 840-10 Leases. If a cloud computing arrangement includes the transfer of a software license, then the customer would account for the payment of fees as an acquisition of software. If there is no software license, the payment of fees would be accounted for as a service contract. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either prospectively for all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date, or retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2015-05 as of the quarter ended April 1, 2016 and selected the prospective application. There was no material impact to the financial statements. ASU No. 2015-03 - “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”) and ASU No. 2015-15 - “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements” (“ASU 2015-15”) In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, which clarified that ASU 2015-03 does not address debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit agreements and stated that the SEC staff would not object to the deferral and presentation of debt issuance costs as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement, consistent with existing guidance. The Company elected early adoption of ASU 2015-03 as of the year ended December 31, 2015, applicable to debt issuance costs related to its convertible notes, and retrospectively adjusted certain prior year amounts to reflect the effects of applying the new guidance. Pursuant to ASU 2015-15, debt issuance costs relating to the Company’s revolving credit facility have been deferred and are included in other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. ASU No. 2014-15 - “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”) In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, which requires management to evaluate, in connection with financial statement preparation for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the financial statements. ASUs Pending Adoption: ASU No. 2016-18 - “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2016-18”) In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, which requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU does not define the terms “restricted cash” and “restricted cash equivalents.” The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-18 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2016-16 - “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” (“ASU 2016-16”) In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The income tax consequences from the sale of inventory from one member of a consolidated entity to another will continue to be deferred until the inventory is sold to a third party. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-16 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2016-15 - “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”) In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which changes how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-15 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2016-09 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, which is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016, however expects the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements based on excess tax deductions from employee equity exercises that are part of net operating losses as of December 31, 2016. See Note 15: "Income Taxes" for further information. ASU No. 2016-02 - “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2016-01 - “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”) In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 may have on its consolidated financial statements. ASU No. 2015-11 - “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”) In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, which requires that an entity should measure in-scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to be material on its consolidated financial statements and has not elected early adoption as of the year ended December 31, 2016. ASU No. 2014-09 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), ASU No. 2015-14 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), ASU No. 2016-08 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations” (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU No. 2016-10 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”) ASU No. 2016-12 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”) and ASU No. 2016-20 - “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”) In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards, superseding the existing revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Pursuant to ASU 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange, as applied through a multi-step process to achieve that core principle. Subsequently, the FASB approved a deferral included in ASU 2015-14 that permits public entities to apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein, and that would also permit public entities to elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date as applicable to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new guidance allows for the amendment to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which clarifies identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, which improves certain aspects of ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, which improves certain aspects of ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. As described in Note 2: ''Significant Accounting Policies'' the Company defers the revenue and cost of revenues on sales to certain distributors until it is informed by the distributor that the distributor has resold the products to the end customer. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, the Company believes one of the more significant impacts will be that it is no longer permitted to defer revenue until sale by the distributor to the end customer, but rather, will be required to estimate the effects of returns and allowances provided to distributors and record revenue at the time of sale to the distributor. In anticipation of the adoption of the new standards, the Company has been developing its internal systems, processes and controls for making the required estimates. While the Company previously intended to early adopt the standard on January 1, 2017, the Company is still evaluating other aspects of the standard (non ship & credit related) and decided it will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018. |
