Forward-looking statements

This document includes forward-looking statements which include statements regarding NXP’s business strategy, financial condition, results of operations, and market data, as well as any other statements which are not historical facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. These factors, risks and uncertainties include the following: market demand and semiconductor industry conditions; the ability to successfully introduce new technologies and products; the end-market demand for the goods into which NXP’s products are incorporated; the ability to generate sufficient cash, raise sufficient capital or refinance corporate debt at or before maturity; the ability to meet the combination of corporate debt service, research and development and capital investment requirements; the ability to accurately estimate demand and match manufacturing production capacity accordingly or obtain supplies from third-party producers; the access to production capacity from third-party outsourcing partners; any events that might affect third-party business partners or NXP’s relationship with them; the ability to secure adequate and timely supply of equipment and materials from suppliers; the ability to avoid operational problems and product defects and, if such issues were to arise, to correct them quickly; the ability to form strategic partnerships and joint ventures and to successfully cooperate with alliance partners; the ability to win competitive bid selection processes to develop products for use in customers’ equipment and products; the ability to achieve targeted efficiencies and cost savings; the ability to successfully hire and retain key management and senior product architects; and, the ability to maintain good relationships with our suppliers. In addition, this document contains information concerning the semiconductor industry and NXP’s business generally, which is forward-looking in nature and is based on a variety of assumptions regarding the ways in which the semiconductor industry, NXP’s markets and product areas may develop. NXP has based these assumptions on information currently available, if any one or more of these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from those predicted. While NXP does not know what impact any such differences may have on its business, if there are such differences, its future results of operations and its financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak to results only as of the date the statements were made. Except for any ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the United States federal securities laws, NXP does not have any intention or obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after we distribute this document, whether to reflect any future events or circumstances or otherwise. For a discussion of potential risks and uncertainties, please refer to the risk factors listed in our SEC filings. Copies of our SEC filings are available on our Investor Relations website, www.nxp.com/investor or from the SEC website, www.sec.gov

 

Use of fair value measurements

In presenting the NXP Group’s financial position, fair values are used for the measurement of various items in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. These fair values are based on market prices, where available, and are obtained from sources that we consider to be reliable. Users are cautioned that these values are subject to changes over time and are only valid as of the balance sheet date. When a readily determinable market value does not exist, we estimate fair values using valuation models which we believe are appropriate for their purpose. These require management to make significant assumptions with respect to future developments which are inherently uncertain and may therefore deviate from actual developments. In certain cases independent valuations are obtained to support management’s determination of fair values.

 

Use of non-U.S. GAAP information

In presenting and discussing NXP’s financial position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent U.S. GAAP measure(s) and should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure(s).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This interim Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 20‑F for the year ended December 31, 2018. The various sections of this MD&A contain a number of forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, uncertain events or assumptions, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances. Such statements are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this filing and particularly in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 3D of our Annual Report on Form 20-F, and as may be updated in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 6-K. Our actual results may differ materially, and these forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of July 30, 2019.

Q2 2019 compared to Q2 2018

In the quarter ended June 30, 2019, revenue declined by $73 million as compared to the quarter ended July 1, 2018. Included in the latter is $37 million of revenue related to divested businesses or activities. As of January 1, 2019, income and expenses derived from manufacturing service arrangements (“MSA”) and transitional service arrangements (“TSA”) that are put into place when we divest a business or activity, are included in other income (expense). Gross profit decreased in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily as a result of the decline in sales. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2019 decreased as compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily as a result of decreased research and development costs. Other income (expense) in the second quarter of 2019 includes the net result of income and expenses derived from divested businesses or activities as discussed above.

YTD 2019 compared to YTD 2018

In the six month period ended June 30, 2019, revenue declined by $248 million as compared to the six month period ended July 1, 2018. Included in the latter is $75 million of revenue related to divested businesses or activities. Gross profit decreased in the first six months of 2019 as compared to the first six months of 2018 primarily as a result of the decline in sales. Operating expenses in the first six months of 2019 decreased as compared to the first six months of 2018 primarily as a result of decreased research and development costs. Other income (expense) in the first six months of 2019 includes the net result of income and expenses derived from divested businesses or activities as discussed above.

Revenue decreased $73 million to $2,217 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $2,290 million in the second quarter of 2018, a year-on-year decrease of 3.2%. Included in the second quarter of 2018 is the revenue related to divested businesses or activities, $37 million. The decline is mainly related to lower sales to distributors due to lower end-customer demand, in particular in the Greater China region.

 

YTD 2019 compared to YTD 2018

Revenue decreased $248 million to $4,311 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $4,559 million in the first six months of 2018, a year-on-year decrease of 5.4%. Included in the first six months of 2018 is the revenue related to divested businesses or activities, $75 million.

Q2 2019 compared to Q2 2018

Financial income (expense) was an expense of $89 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to an expense of $71 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was the result of incremental interest expense, due to incremental debt raised in the fourth quarter of 2018, partly offset by lower debt extinguishment costs.

 

YTD 2019 compared to YTD 2018

Financial income (expense) was an expense of $172 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to an expense of $139 million in the first six months of 2018. As a result of incremental debt in the fourth quarter of 2018, interest expense increased, partly offset by lower debt extinguishment costs.

 

Benefit (provision) for income taxes

 

Q2 2019 compared to Q2 2018

Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of tax incentives, non-deductible expenses, change in valuation allowance, a portion of our earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions at rates different than the Netherlands statutory tax rate, and the mix of income and losses in various jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was an expense of 30.9% compared with an expense of 6.1% for the second quarter of 2018. The movement in our effective tax rate reflects mainly the increase in the change in valuation allowance ($11 million) and non-deductible expenses ($4 million).

 

YTD 2019 compared to YTD 2018

Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of tax incentives, non-deductible expenses, change in valuation allowance, a portion of our earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions at rates different than the Netherlands statutory tax rate and the mix of income and losses in various jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2019 was a tax expense of 30.8% compared with an expense of 4.4% for the first six months of 2018. The movement in our effective tax rate reflects mainly the increase in the change in valuation allowance ($22 million) and non-deductible expenses ($16 million) which is partly offset by higher tax incentive benefits in first half year 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 ($7 million).

Non-controlling interests

 

Q2 2019 compared to Q2 2018

Non-controlling interests are related to the third-party share in the results of consolidated companies, predominantly SSMC. Their share of non-controlling interests amounted to a profit of $5 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $12 million in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease is the result of lower sales due to lower customer demand.

Their share of non-controlling interests amounted to a profit of $10 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to $24 million in the first six months of 2018. The decrease is the result of lower sales due to lower customer demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We derive our liquidity and capital resources primarily from our cash flows from operations. We continue to generate strong positive operating cash flows. At the end of the second quarter of 2019, our cash balance was $3,030 million, an increase of $241 million compared to December 31, 2018. On June 11, 2019, we entered into a new unsecured Revolving Credit Facility of $1.5 billion which matures in 2024, replacing the $600 million secured Revolving Credit Facility with a maturity in 2020.  Taking into account the available amount of the unsecured Revolving Credit Facility of $1.5 billion, we had access to $4,530 million of liquidity as of June 30, 2019.

 

We currently use cash to fund operations, meet working capital requirements, for capital expenditures and for potential common stock repurchases, dividends and strategic investments. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our current available sources of funds (including cash and cash equivalents, RCF Agreement, plus anticipated cash generated from operations) will be adequate to finance our operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, strategic investments and potential dividends for at least the next year. Our capital expenditures were $250 million in the first six months of 2019, compared to $285 million in the first six months of 2018. During the six month period ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased $1,360 million, or 15.1 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our share buyback program at a weighted average price of $90.09 per share.

 

Our total debt amounted to $8,538 million as of June 30, 2019, an increase of $1,184 million compared to December 31, 2018 ($7,354 million). On June 18, 2019, NXP issued 3.875% Senior Notes due in 2026 ($750 million) and 4.3% Senior Notes due in 2029 ($1 billion). A portion of the net proceeds from the June 18, 2019 notes offering was used to redeem $553 million of outstanding principal amount of our 4.125% Senior Notes due 2020. The remaining $47 million of aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Notes were redeemed under the terms of the indenture governing these notes on July 3, 2019.

 

At  June 30, 2019 our cash balance was $3,030 million of which $144 million was held by SSMC, our consolidated joint venture company with TSMC. Under the terms of our joint venture agreement with TSMC, a portion of this cash can be distributed by way of a dividend to us, but 38.8% of the dividend will be paid to our joint venture partner. During the first 6 months of 2019, no dividend has been declared by SSMC (2018: $139 million, distributed subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2018, with 38.8% being paid to our joint venture partner).

 

Cash flows

 

Our cash and cash equivalents during the first six months of 2019 increased by $240 million (excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash position of $1 million) as follows:

Cash used in investing activities of $280 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of cash used to acquire property, plant and equipment of $250 million, cash used to acquire intangible assets of $51 million and cash used to acquire available-for-sale securities of $17 million, offset by cash provided by the sale of our remaining equity interest in WeEn, net of tax for $37 million. Cash used in financing activities of $293 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of cash used to repurchase long-term debt of $553 million, cash paid for debt issuance costs of $23 million, dividends paid to shareholders of $144 million, cash used to repurchase common stock of $1,360 million, offset by proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $1,750 million and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $37 million.

NXP SEMICONDUCTORS N.V.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

All amounts in millions of $ unless otherwise stated

 

1 Basis of Presentation and Overview

 

We prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 20‑F for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our consolidated condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Prior to January 1, 2019, HPMS was our sole reportable segment. Corporate and Other represented the remaining portion to reconcile to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2019, NXP removed the reference to HPMS in its organizational structure in acknowledgement of the one reportable segment representing the entity as a whole.

 

On May 29, 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement with Marvell under which NXP will acquire Marvell’s Wireless WiFi Connectivity Business Unit, Bluetooth technology portfolio and related assets, for $1.76 billion in cash. Subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close by the first quarter of 2020 even though there could be a possibility for an accelerated closing timeline.

 

On June 18, 2019, the Company announced the voting results of the June 17, 2019 annual general meeting of shareholders (“AGM”). All management proposals, including the appointment of three new non-executive directors (Ms. Lena Olving, Ms. Jasmin Staiblin and Mr. Karl-Henrik Sundström), the Omnibus Plan and the Share Repurchase Authorization, were adopted by the AGM. The Company also announced the same date the decision of its board of directors that the company for reporting purposes will apply the U.S. domestic filer requirements.

 

 

 

2 Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the changes below, no material changes have been made to the Company's significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018. The accounting policy information below is to aid in the understanding of the financial information disclosed.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), followed in July 2018 by ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. Under the new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. As a result of this adoption and the required disclosures, the Company revised its accounting policy for leases as stated below.

 

The new standard became effective for us on January 1, 2019. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. See also Note 9, Leases.

 

[-16]


 

Leases

As of January 1, 2019, our impact resulting from operating leases is as follows:

 

×

We have recognized right-of-use (ROU) assets (within other non-current assets) and lease liabilities of $188 million.

 

×

The short-term portion of the lease liabilities of $53 million is classified in the consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities.

 

×

The long-term portion of the lease liabilities of $135 million is classified in the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities.

 

We elected to adopt the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs, along with the practical expedient to use hindsight when determining the lease term.

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. Once it is determined that an arrangement is, or contains, a lease, that determination should only be reassessed if the legal arrangement is modified. Changes to assumptions such as market-based factors do not trigger a reassessment. Determining whether a contract contains a lease requires judgement. In general, arrangements are considered to be a lease when all of the following apply:

 

×

It conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration;

 

×

We have substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset; and

 

×

We can direct the use of the identified asset.

 

The terms of a lease arrangement determine how a lease is classified and the resulting income statement recognition. When the terms of a lease effectively transfer control of the underlying asset, the lease represents an in substance financed purchase (sale) of an asset and the lease is classified as a finance lease by the lessee and a sales-type lease by the lessor. When a lease does not effectively transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee, but the lessor obtains a guarantee for the value of the asset from a third party, the lessor would classify a lease as a direct financing lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.  

 

With the exception of two instances (with a combined value of approximately $30 million), the Company’s lease arrangements were all operating leases.

 

Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at January 1, 2019 or commencement date, if later, in determining the present value of future payments. The lease ROU asset includes any lease payment made and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

 

For operating leases the lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Consolidated statement of operations over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The finance lease asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

 

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. Except for gas and chemical contracts, NXP did not make the election to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single component, and considers the non-lease components as a separate unit of account.

 

Accounting standards adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Existing sale-leaseback guidance, including guidance for real estate, is replaced with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.

[-17]


 

ASU 2018-11 clarifies narrow aspects of Topic 842. ASU 2018-11 provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under the new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which clarified transition disclosures. The new leases standard became effective for us on January 1, 2019, and the Company applied the new transition method in ASU 2018-11. The most significant impact of adopting ASC 842 was related to recording lease asset and related liabilities on our balance sheet, which did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvement to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting and improves disclosures of hedging arrangements through the elimination of the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The ASU generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. Entities must apply the amendments to cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively. ASU 2017-12 became effective for us on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Recently issued accounting standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, the one step quantitative impairment test calculates goodwill impairment as the excess of the carrying value of a reporting unit over its fair value, up to the carrying value of the goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosure requirements, including the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also adds disclosure requirements, including changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU 2018-14 removes disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of disclosures, and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU 2018-14 should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. Therefore, a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract determines which project stage an implementation activity relates to. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage are capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as the activities are performed. ASU 2018-15 also requires the customer to expense the capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement, and to apply the existing impairment guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to the capitalized implementation costs as if the costs were long-lived assets. ASU 2018-15 can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Upon exercise, the warrants will be net share settled. At the end of both Q2 and YTD 2019 and Q2 and YTD 2018, the warrants were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the warrants exercise price was greater than the average fair market value of the common shares.

 

 

Balance Sheet Information

Cash and cash equivalents

 

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our cash balance was $3,030 million and $2,789 million, respectively, of which $144 million and $140 million was held by SSMC, our consolidated joint venture company with TSMC. Under the terms of our joint venture agreement with TSMC, a portion of this cash can be distributed by way of a dividend to us, but 38.8% of the dividend will be paid to our joint venture partner. During the first six months of 2019, no dividend has been declared by SSMC (2018: $139 million, distributed subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2018, with 38.8% being paid to our joint venture partner).

The dividend declared (not yet paid) is classified in the consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and subsequently paid on July 5, 2019.

 

Shareholder tax on repurchased shares

 

Under Dutch tax law, the repurchase of a company’s shares by an entity domiciled in the Netherlands results in a taxable event, unless exemptions apply. The tax on the repurchased shares is attributed to the shareholders, with NXP making the payment on the shareholders’ behalf. As such, the tax on the repurchased shares is accounted for within stockholders’ equity. At June 30, 2019, within other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, an accrual of $130 million remained for this tax.

 

6 Restructuring

 

At each reporting date, we evaluate our restructuring liabilities, which consist primarily of termination benefits, to ensure that our accruals are still appropriate.

Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of tax incentives, non-deductible expenses, change in valuation allowance, a portion of our earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions at rates different than the Netherlands statutory tax rate, and the mix of income and losses in various jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2019 was a tax expense of 30.8% compared with an expense of 4.4% for the first six months of 2018. The movement in our effective tax rate reflects mainly the increase in the change in valuation allowance ($22 million) and non-deductible expenses ($16 million) which is partly offset by higher tax incentive benefits in first half year 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 ($7 million).

  

The Company benefits from income tax incentives in certain jurisdictions which provide that we pay reduced income taxes in those jurisdictions for a fixed period of time that varies depending on the jurisdiction. The predominant income tax holiday is expected to expire at the end of 2026. The impact of this tax holiday decreased foreign taxes by $2 million and $5 million for the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively (YTD 2019: decrease of $4 million and YTD 2018: decrease of $10 million). The benefit of this tax holiday on net income per share (diluted) was $0.01 for the second quarter of 2019 (YTD 2019: $0.02) and $0.02 for the second quarter of 2018 (YTD 2018: $0.03).

YTD 2019 Financing Activities

2024 Revolving Credit Facility

On June 11, 2019, NXP B.V. together with NXP Funding LLC, entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility agreement, replacing the $600 million secured revolving credit facility, entered into on December 7, 2015.

2020 Senior Notes

On June 11, 2019, NXP B.V. together with NXP Funding LLC, commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of their $600 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 4.125% Senior Notes due 2020 (“4.125% 2020 Notes”). An amount of $553 million aggregate principal amount of the 4.125% 2020 Notes were tendered in this offer and retired on June 18, 2019. The remaining $47 million were redeemed under the terms of the indenture governing these notes on July 3, 2019.

2026 and 2029 Senior Unsecured Notes

On June 18, 2019, NXP B.V., together with NXP USA Inc. and NXP Funding LLC, issued $750 million of 3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 and $1 billion of 4.3% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029. NXP used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering of these notes to repay in full, the 2020 Senior Notes, as described above. The remaining proceeds will be used to refinance the $1,150 million aggregate principal amount of Cash Convertible Notes due 2019 issued by NXP Semiconductors N.V. on December 1, 2014 upon the maturity of these notes on December 1, 2019.

 

Certain terms and Covenants of the notes

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

 

The indentures governing the notes contain covenants that, among other things, may in some circumstances limit the Company's ability and that of restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments; enter into agreements that restrict dividends from restricted subsidiaries; sell assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; engage in transactions with affiliates; and effect a consolidation or merger. The Company has been in compliance with any such indentures and financing covenants as of June 30, 2019.

No portion of long-term and short-term debt as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 has been secured by collateral.

 

10 Leases

 

[-25]


 

Operating and finance lease assets relate to buildings (corporate offices, research and development and manufacturing facilities and datacenters), land, machinery and installations and other equipment (vehicles and certain office equipment).

11 Related-Party Transactions

 

The Company's related parties are the members of the board of directors of NXP Semiconductors N.V., the members of the management team of NXP Semiconductors N.V. and equity-accounted investees and, up to July 26, 2018, Qualcomm Incorporated. As of the divestment of the SP business on February 7, 2017, the newly formed Nexperia has become a related party.

 

We have a number of strategic alliances and joint ventures. We have relationships with certain of our alliance partners in the ordinary course of business whereby we enter into various sale and purchase transactions, generally on terms comparable to transactions with third parties. However, in certain instances upon divestment of former businesses where we enter into supply arrangements with the former owned business, sales are conducted at cost.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

 

Other financial assets and derivatives

For other financial assets and derivatives the fair value is based upon significant other observable inputs depending on the nature of the other financial asset and derivative.

 

Notes hedges and Notes Embedded Conversion Derivative

At June 30, 2019, the Notes hedges and the Notes Embedded Conversion Derivative are measured at fair value using level 3 inputs. The instruments are not actively traded and are valued at the measurement date using an option pricing model that uses observable inputs for the share price of NXP’s common stock, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the term, in combination with a significant unobservable input for volatility. The volatility factor utilized at June 30, 2019 was 35.8% and at December 31, 2018 the volatility factor utilized was 34.8%. The change in the fair value of the Notes hedges and Notes Embedded Conversion Derivative was solely the gain and loss, respectively for each instrument that was recognized.

 

Debt

The fair value is estimated on the basis of observable inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical liabilities for certain issues, or on the basis of discounted cash flow analyses. Accrued interest is included under accrued liabilities and not within the carrying amount or estimated fair value of debt.

 

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis

We measure and record our non-marketable equity investments (non-marketable securities and cost method investments) and non-financial assets, such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, at fair value when an impairment charge is required.

 

13 Litigation

 

We are regularly involved as plaintiffs or defendants in claims and litigation relating to a variety of matters such as contractual disputes, personal injury claims, employee grievances and intellectual property litigation. In addition, our acquisitions, divestments and financial transactions sometimes result in, or are followed by, claims or litigation. Some of these claims may possibly be recovered from insurance reimbursements. Although the ultimate disposition of asserted claims cannot be predicted with certainty, it is our belief that the outcome of any such claims, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, such outcomes may be material to our Consolidated Statement of Operations for a particular period. The Company records an accrual for any claim that arises whenever it considers that it is probable that it is exposed to a loss contingency and the amount of the loss contingency can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees are expensed when incurred.

 

[-28]


 

Based on the most current information available to it and based on its best estimate, the Company also reevaluates at least on a quarterly basis the claims that have arisen to determine whether any new accruals need to be made or whether any accruals made need to be adjusted. Based on the procedures described above, the Company has an aggregate amount of $94 million accrued for potential and current legal proceedings pending as of June 30, 2019, compared to $123 million accrued (without reduction for any related insurance reimbursements) at December 31, 2018. The accruals are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities”. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s balance related to insurance reimbursements was $54 million (December 31, 2018: $65 million) and is included in “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets”.

 

The Company also estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amount accrued based on currently available information for those cases for which such estimate can be made. The estimated aggregate range requires significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings (including the fact that many of them are currently in preliminary stages), the existence of multiple defendants (including the Company) in such claims whose share of liability has yet to be determined, the numerous yet-unresolved issues in many of the claims, and the attendant uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such claims. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more than the current estimate. As at June 30, 2019, the Company believes that for all litigation pending its potential aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued (without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under insurance programs) could range between $0 and $167 million. Based upon our past experience with these matters, the Company would expect to receive insurance reimbursement on certain of these claims that would offset the potential maximum exposure of up to $134 million.

 

In addition, the Company is currently assisting Motorola in the defense of personal injury lawsuits due to indemnity obligations included in the agreement that separated Freescale from Motorola in 2004. The Company is also defending a suit related to semiconductor operations that occurred prior to NXP’s separation from Philips. The multi-plaintiff Motorola lawsuits are pending in Cook County, Illinois, and the legacy NXP suit is pending in Santa Fe, New Mexico. These claims allege a link between working in semiconductor manufacturing clean room facilities and birth defects in 36 individuals. The Motorola suits allege exposures between 1965 and 2006. Each claim seeks an unspecified amount of damages for the alleged injuries; however, legal counsel representing the plaintiffs has indicated they will seek substantial compensatory and punitive damages from Motorola for the entire inventory of claims which, if proven and recovered, the Company considers to be material. In the Motorola suits, a portion of any indemnity due to Motorola will be reimbursed to NXP if Motorola receives an indemnification payment from its insurance coverage. Motorola has potential insurance coverage for many of the years indicated above, but with differing types and levels of coverage, self-insurance retention amounts and deductibles. We are in discussions with Motorola and their insurers regarding the availability of applicable insurance coverage for each of the individual cases. Motorola and NXP have denied liability for these alleged injuries based on numerous defenses.
