STMicroelectronics Reports 2025 Second Quarter Financial Results
PR No: C3349C STMicroelectronics Reports 2025 Second Quarter Financial Results Q2 net revenues $2.77 billion; gross margin 33.5%; operating loss of $133 million, including $190 million related to impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs; net loss of $97 million H1 net revenues $5.28 billion; gross margin 33.5%; operating loss of $130 million, including $198 million related to impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs; net loss of $41 million Business outlook at mid-point: Q3 net revenues of $3.17 billion and gross margin of 33.5% Geneva, July 24, 2025 – STMicroelectronics N.V. ('ST') (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, reported U.S. GAAP financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2025. This press release also contains non-U.S. GAAP measures (see Appendix for additional information). ST reported second quarter net revenues of $2.77 billion, gross margin of 33.5%, operating loss of $133 million, and net loss of $97 million or -$0.11 diluted earnings per share (non-U.S. GAAP1 operating income of $57 million, and non-U.S. GAAP1 net income of $57 million or $0.06 diluted earnings per share). Jean-Marc Chery, ST President & CEO, commented: 'Q2 net revenues came above the mid-point of our business outlook range, driven by higher revenues in Personal Electronics and Industrial, while Automotive was slightly below expectations. Gross margin was in line with the mid-point of our business outlook range.' 'On a year-over-year basis, Q2 net revenues decreased 14.4%, non-U.S. GAAP1 operating margin decreased to 2.1% from 11.6% and non-U.S. GAAP1 net income decreased to $57 million from $353 million.' 'First half net revenues decreased 21.1% year-over-year, with a decrease in all reportable segments. Non-U.S. GAAP1 operating margin was 1.3% and non-U.S. GAAP1 net income was $120 million.' 'In the second quarter, our book-to-bill ratio remained above one for Industrial, while Automotive was below parity. Bookings continued to increase sequentially.' 'Our third quarter business outlook, at the mid-point, is for net revenues of $3.17 billion, decreasing year-over-year by 2.5% and increasing sequentially by 14.6%; gross margin is expected to be about 33.5%; including about 340 basis points of unused capacity charges. On a sequential basis, our Q3 gross margin will be negatively impacted by about 140 basis points, mainly from currency effect and, to a lesser extent, the start of non-recurring cost related to our manufacturing reshaping program.' 'While we expect Q3 revenues to show a solid sequential growth enabling a continued year-over-year improvement, we are still operating amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment. Given these external factors, our priorities remain supporting our customers, accelerating new product introductions, and executing our company-wide program to reshape our manufacturing footprint and resize our global cost base.'

Such non-U.S. GAAP information is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measurements. Also, our supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-U.S. GAAP measures used by other companies. Further, specific limitations for individual non-U.S. GAAP measures, and the reasons for presenting non-U.S. GAAP financial information, are set forth in the paragraphs below. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-U.S. GAAP financial information should not be read in isolation, but only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. ST believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors and management because they offer, when read in conjunction with ST's U.S. GAAP financials, (i) the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ST's on-going operating results, (ii) the ability to better identify trends in ST's business and perform related trend analysis, and (iii) to facilitate a comparison of ST's results of operations against investor and analyst financial models and valuations, which may exclude these items. Non-U.S. GAAP Operating Income, Non-U.S. GAAP Net Earnings and Non-U.S. GAAP Earnings Per Share (non-U.S. GAAP measures) Operating income before impairment and restructuring charges and one-time items is used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items, such as impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs. Adjusted net earnings and earnings per share (EPS) are used by management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items like impairment, restructuring charges and other related phase-out costs attributable to ST and other one-time items, net of the relevant tax impact.

Our total liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits, and marketable securities, and our total financial debt includes short-term debt and long-term debt, as reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. ST also presents adjusted net financial position as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, to take into consideration the effect on total liquidity of advances received on capital grants for which capital expenditures have not been incurred yet. ST believes its Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position provide useful information for investors and management because they give evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash by measuring our capital resources based on cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, if any, short-term deposits and marketable securities and the total level of our financial debt. Our definitions of Net Financial Position and Adjusted Net Financial Position may differ from definitions used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

(Appendix – continued) Net Capex and Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measures) ST presents Net Capex as a non-U.S. GAAP measure, which is reported as part of our Free Cash Flow (non-U.S. GAAP measure), to take into consideration the effect of advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period. Net Capex, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is defined as (i) Payment for purchase of tangible assets, as reported plus (ii) Proceeds from sale of tangible assets, as reported plus (iii) Proceeds from capital grants and other contributions, as reported plus (iv) Advances from capital grants allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period. ST believes Net Capex provides useful information for investors and management because annual capital expenditures budget includes the effect of capital grants.

ST believes Free Cash Flow provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating and investing activities to sustain our operations. Free Cash Flow reconciles with the total cash flow and the net cash increase (decrease) by including the payment for purchases of (and proceeds from matured) marketable securities and net investment in (and proceeds from) short-term deposits, the net cash from (used in) financing activities and the effect of changes in exchange rates, and by excluding the advances from capital grants received on prior periods allocated to property, plant and equipment in the reporting period.

REFERENCE Emma Chapman, Vice President, Investor Relations: +44 207.509.6576 Dale Steeves, Director, External Communications: +1 236.987.7405 USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS Our annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our interim financial results are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). This document refers to a number of non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, which are not measures recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards or by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States. The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described below do not have standardized meanings under IFRS Accounting Standards, may differ from those used by other issuers, and may not be comparable to similar financial measures and ratios reported by other issuers. These financial measures and ratios have been derived from our financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. We disclose these financial measures and ratios because we believe they assist readers in understanding the results of our operations and financial position and provide further information about our financial results to investors. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders – For adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, we adjust profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders as reported to remove the after-tax effect of certain types of transactions that reflect measurement changes on our balance sheet or are not indicative of our normal operating activities. EBITDA – EBITDA is profit before net finance expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before the pre-tax effect of the adjustments that we make to adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders as described above. Adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA highlight items and allow us and readers to analyze the rest of our results more clearly. We believe that disclosing these measures assists readers in understanding the ongoing cash-generating potential of our business in order to provide liquidity to fund working capital needs, service outstanding debt, fund future capital expenditures and investment opportunities, and pay dividends. Adjusted basic earnings per share from continuing operations – Adjusted basic earnings per share from continuing operations is adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders divided by average number of shares outstanding in the period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations – Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is adjusted profit from continuing operations attributable to shareholders divided by average number of fully diluted shares in a period. Gross profit before depreciation and amortization – Gross profit before depreciation and amortization is gross profit with depreciation and amortization expense added back. We believe this measure assists us and readers to assess our ability to generate cash flow from our reportable segments or overall operations. Total cash unit costs – Total cash unit costs for our copper and zinc operations includes adjusted cash costs of sales, as described below, plus the smelter and refining charges added back in determining adjusted revenue. This presentation allows a comparison of total cash unit costs, including smelter charges, to the underlying price of copper or zinc in order to assess the margin for the mine on a per unit basis. Net cash unit costs – Net cash unit costs of principal product, after deducting co-product and by-product margins, are also a common industry measure. By deducting the co- and by-product margin per unit of the principal product, the margin for the mine on a per unit basis may be presented in a single metric for comparison to other operations. Adjusted cash cost of sales – Adjusted cash cost of sales for our copper and zinc operations is defined as the cost of the product delivered to the port of shipment, excluding depreciation and amortization charges, any one-time collective agreement charges or inventory write-down provisions and by-product cost of sales. It is common practice in the industry to exclude depreciation and amortization, as these costs are non-cash, and discounted cash flow valuation models used in the industry substitute expectations of future capital spending for these amounts.

Teck Announces Construction of Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension to Proceed
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) ('Teck') today announced board approval for construction of the Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension Project (HVC MLE), an important critical minerals investment which will extend the life of Canada's largest copper mine and support Teck's copper production into the future. 'This extension of Canada's largest copper mine, Highland Valley Copper, is foundational to our strategy to double copper production by the end of the decade,' said Jonathan Price, President and CEO. 'Given the strong demand for copper as an energy transition metal, the Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension will generate a robust IRR and secure access to this critical mineral for the next two decades. The project will strengthen Canada's critical minerals sector, generate new economic activity, and support the continuation of the jobs and community benefits that HVC generates for many more years to come.' 'We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with Indigenous Governments, local communities and stakeholders to responsibly secure the long-term future of Highland Valley Copper,' added Price. The decision to sanction HVC MLE was assessed under Teck's Capital Allocation Framework using a rigorous decision-making approach that included a robust business case focused on returns and increased assurance requirements, which demonstrated sanction-readiness. Project highlights: For photos and video of Highland Valley Copper go to: Photo and Video Gallery About HVC MLE HVC MLE is a brownfield extension of our operational asset, Highland Valley Copper (100% Teck owned) in British Columbia, from 2028 out to 2046. The environmental assessment certificate and required permits for HVC MLE were issued in June 2025, and construction is set to commence in full in August 2025. The project consists of upgrades and increased capacity requirements for the mine life extension and a mine pushback that requires additional waste-stripping to access high-quality ore within the Valley Pit. Additional technical and engineering work has been completed ahead of sanctioning to optimize the project. Accordingly, the project capital estimate has been refined and is now expected to be between $2.1 to $2.4 billion, reflecting the class of capital cost estimate, updated assumptions based on prevailing construction industry risks, and the potential impact of tariffs, with further potential opportunities for cost optimization during construction. This capital is expected to be invested from H2 2025 through 2028. This project capital investment includes the development of site infrastructure and facilities, expansion of the mine fleet, grinding circuit upgrades, increased tailings storage capacity, and enhancements to power and water systems. The refined growth capital estimate is based on a high-definition cost baseline informed by early contractor involvement. It includes project-level contingencies, accounts for inflation and input cost escalation, the impact of potential tariffs on construction materials, and reflects the accelerated procurement of mobile equipment originally planned for later project phases. The estimate also incorporates additional scope and indirect contractor requirements identified through ongoing project refinement. The production profile at Highland Valley Copper is divided into three distinct mining phases with different material movement expected in each phase: Total Material Movement and Ore Tonnes Mined Although the annual ore throughput rate will be variable due to ore hardness, the long-term ore tonnes mined will remain consistent at approximately 50 million tonnes per annum through the life of mine. However, total material moved will increase starting with Phase 1 of the project, which requires additional waste stripping to access the high-quality ore in the Valley Pit. During Phase 2, the average total tonnes mined will continue to increase to approximately 200 million tonnes on average from 2028-2033. Thereafter, in Phase 3, total tonnes mined will reduce to approximately 100 million tonnes on average, with a gradual reduction in tonnes mined from 200 million tonnes to 100 million tonnes through to 2038, and minimal waste tonnes mined from 2039 to the end of the life of mine in 2046. Grade and Production The grade profile of production is variable depending on the ore input material. Higher grade material is expected during Phase 1 as an increasing proportion of ore from the Lornex pit is mined. In Phase 2, as mining progresses to the satellite orebodies at Bethlehem and Highmont, grade will decrease while the pushback and increased waste stripping of the Valley pit takes place. Thereafter, in Phase 3, the high-quality Valley pit ore is mined with improved grades. Production volumes will vary in accordance with the grade profile as mill throughput remains consistent throughout the mine life.

Quotes: David Eby, Premier of British Columbia – 'We promised British Columbians we would move big projects forward faster to counter the threats we face. This multi-billion dollar project represents 2,900 new jobs and a $500 million increase to GDP. It's just one example of how British Columbia can drive our country's economy forward even in challenging times. Congratulations to everyone involved - let's keep going!' Christine Walkem, Chair of CNA's Board of Directors, Chief of Cook's Ferry Indian Band – 'The Citxw Nlaka'pamux Assembly (CNA) recognizes the Teck Board's approval of the Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension project as a defining moment — not just for industry, but for the 8 Participating Bands of the CNA. This project is moving forward because of the unwavering leadership and community members participation. Through our nłeʔképmx Impact Assessment and as authors of our own sections into the Environmental Assessment application, the CNA established a new precedent in Canada — one where Indigenous law, Indigenous governance, and Indigenous authority are not just consulted, but embedded at the heart of decision-making about our lands, waters, and people. Our communities are not bystanders to development — we are decision-makers. We are forging a new path with Industry and the Crown for how major projects unfold in our territory: grounded in respect, guided by our values, and focused on long-term benefit for our people. As the project enters construction, we remain firm in our expectations. Our voices must continue to be heard. Our laws must continue to guide the process. Our people must continue to share in the benefits — now, and for generations to come.' Chief Matt Pasco, Chair of the Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council – 'The Highland Valley Copper expansion reflects a sharing of Nlaka'pamux resources which was agreed upon based on a principled path forward grounded in rights recognition, technical rigour, and respectful partnership,' said Chief Pasco, Tribal Chair of the Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council. 'With Teck, we are demonstrating that mining can align with Nlaka'pamux jurisdiction, advancing both responsible stewardship and a resilient economy for our people.' Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Government of Canada – 'Canada has the natural resources that the world wants – and it is projects like these that put us on the map. By extending the life of Canada's largest copper mine, we are strengthening our critical minerals sector here at home and becoming the international supplier of choice when it comes to critical metals and minerals.' Kyle Wolff, president, USW local 7619 – 'The expansion is wonderful news for the employees at Teck HVC. This secures good employment for over 1500 workers in a great place to live. Investment into safer systems will ensure that we continue to put worker safety at the top of all our agendas.' Robin Smith, Mayor of Logan Lake – 'Our long-standing partnership with Highland Valley Copper has shaped Logan Lake for generations. The extension is more than a milestone for the mine—it's a reaffirmation of our shared history and a renewed commitment to building a strong, sustainable future together. It's about more than jobs; it's about legacy, continuity, and a shared vision for generations to come.'
