Forward-looking statements

This document includes forward-looking statements which include statements regarding our 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, our ability to successfully introduce new technologies and products, the demand for the goods into which our products are incorporated, our ability to generate sufficient cash, raise sufficient capital or refinance our debt at or before maturity to meet both our debt service and research and development and capital investment requirements, our ability to accurately estimate demand and match our production capacity accordingly or obtain supplies from third-party producers, our access to production from third-party outsourcing partners, and any events that might affect their business or our relationship with them, our ability to secure adequate and timely supply of equipment and materials from suppliers, our ability to avoid operational problems and product defects and, if such issues were to arise, to rectify them quickly, our ability to form strategic partnerships and joint ventures and successfully cooperate with our alliance partners, our ability to win competitive bid selection processes to develop products for use in our customers’ equipment and products, our ability to successfully establish a brand identity, our ability to successfully hire and retain key management and senior product architects; and, our ability to maintain good relationships with our suppliers. In addition, this document contains information concerning the semiconductor industry and our business segments generally, which is forward-looking in nature and is based on a variety of assumptions regarding the ways in which the semiconductor industry, our market segments and product areas will develop. We have based these assumptions on information currently available to us, if any one or more of these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual market results may differ from those predicted. While we do not know what impact any such differences may have on our business, if there are such differences, our future results of operations and financial condition, and the market price of the notes, 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; and, except for any ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the United States federal securities laws, we do 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 filings are available from our Investor Relations department 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).

In the quarter ended April 3, 2016, revenue increased as compared to the quarter ended April 5, 2015 reflecting the inclusion of a full quarter of revenue from the acquired Freescale business lines. Gross profit decreased in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015 as a result of a full quarter of the effect of purchase accounting on inventory and property, plant and equipment of $448 and $48 million, respectively, both of which were attributable to our completed acquisition of Freescale. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2016 increased as compared to the first quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting a full quarter of amortization on the acquisition-related intangible assets, also related to the acquisition of Freescale.

The increase in PPA effects when comparing the first quarter of 2016 to the same period of 2015 is a result of a full quarter of amortization on the acquisition-related intangible assets and the effect of purchase accounting on inventory and property, plant and equipment (included in the gross profit line), all of which were attributable to our completed acquisition of Freescale on December 7, 2015.

Revenue

The following table presents revenue and revenue growth by segment for the three months ended April 3, 2016 and April 5, 2015:

Q1 2016 compared to Q1 2015

Revenue increased by $757 million to $2,224 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $1,467 million in the first quarter of 2015, a year-on-year growth of 51.6%, reflecting the inclusion of a full quarter of operations of Freescale.

Our HPMS segment reported an increase in revenue of $807 million to $1,911 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $1,104 million in the first quarter of 2015, resulting in 73.1% year-on-year growth. The increase was due to revenue from the acquired Freescale businesses.

Revenue for our SP segment decreased $49 million to $274 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $323 million in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to the divestment of the Bipolar activities and lower demand in general applications.

Gross Profit

Q1 2016 compared to Q1 2015

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2016 was $597 million, or 26.8% of revenue compared to $704 million, or 48.0% of revenue in the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $107 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of purchase accounting on inventory and property, plant and equipment, as a result of the acquisition of Freescale, and it was also influenced by a less favorable product mix.

Our HPMS segment had a gross profit of $510 million, or 26.7% of revenue in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $597 million, or 54.1% of revenue in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily driven by the impact of purchase accounting in two areas (1) inventory of $448 million and (2) property, plant and equipment of $45 million, both as a result of the acquisition of Freescale.

Gross profit in our SP segment was $87 million, or 31.8% of revenue in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $110 million, or 34.1% of revenue in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was driven by the divestment of the Bipolar activities and a less favorable product mix.

Operating expenses

     1,066         409   

Q1 2016 compared to Q1 2015

Operating expenses increased $657 million to $1,066 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $409 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Freescale: the inclusion of a full quarter of their activity and the related amortization of acquisition-related intangibles of $340 million.

In our HPMS segment, operating expenses amounted to $996 million, or 52.1% of revenue in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $331 million, or 30.0% of revenue in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Freescale - the inclusion of a full quarter of their activity and the related amortization of acquisition related intangibles of $340 million.

Operating expenses in our SP segment decreased to $48 million, or 17.5% of revenue in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $58 million, or 18.0% of revenue in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by a continued strong focus on cost control to compensate for the decrease in revenue and the effect of the divestment of the Bipolar activities.

Restructuring charges

Q1 2016 compared to Q1 2015

Restructuring and restructuring related costs amounted to $20 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $12 million in the first quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2016, the restructuring charges related mainly to the acquisition of Freescale. In the first quarter of 2015, we had restructuring charges that related to various specific targeted actions.

Q1 2016 compared to Q1 2015

Financial income (expense) was an expense of $116 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to an expense of $373 million in the first quarter of 2015. This was primarily due to the decrease of $198 million in foreign exchange rate results. As of January 1, 2016, as a result of the acquisition of Freescale, NXP has concluded that the functional currency of the holding company is USD. With the change in functional currency our USD denominated debt is no longer subject to the impact of foreign currency changes, which historically has been the largest item in this line. In addition, with the change in functional currency of the holding company, the warrants became part of equity as they are now considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and mark-to-market accounting is no longer applicable. These changes were partially offset by the increase of $60 million in interest expense when comparing the first quarter of 2016 with the first quarter of 2015 as a result of the debt we assumed in the acquisition of Freescale.

 

[-6]


Benefit (provision) for income taxes

Q1 2016 compared to Q1 2015

Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of tax incentives, 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 three months of 2016 was a benefit of 33.9% compared with provision of 19.2% for the first three months of 2015. The significant decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of purchase accounting as a result of the acquisition of Freescale, slightly offset by the impact of the inclusion of a full quarter of operations of Freescale which contributed to a shift in the mix of income and losses between jurisdictions.

Results relating to equity-accounted investees

Q1 2016 compared to Q1 2015

Results relating to the equity-accounted investees amounted to a gain of $1 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to a gain of $3 million in the same period of 2015.

Non-controlling interests

Q1 2016 compared to Q1 2015

Non-controlling interests are related to the third party share in the result of consolidated companies, predominantly SSMC. Their share of non-controlling interests amounted to a profit of $11 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to a profit of $17 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Employees

As of April 3, 2016 we had approximately 42,000 full-time equivalent employees (as of December 31, 2015: approximately 44,000 full-time equivalent employees). The following table indicates the % of full-time equivalent employees per geographic area:

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. In 2015, we entered into a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New RCF Agreement”). At April 3, 2016 we had no borrowings under the New RCF Agreement. As such, the $600 million available under the New RCF Agreement represents a source of liquidity. On February 23, 2016, we issued redemption notices for an aggregate principal amount of $200 million of our $500 million outstanding 3.5% senior notes that were due in 2016, the redemptions were funded from our cash and cash equivalents.

We currently use cash to fund operations, capital expenditures and for repurchases of our common stock. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our current available sources of funds (including cash and cash equivalents, the New RCF Agreement, plus anticipated cash generated from operations) will be adequate to finance our operations, capital expenditures and stock repurchases for at least the next year.

At April 3, 2016 our cash balance was $1,488 million of which $528 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.

Share Repurchases

During the three month period ended April 3, 2016, we repurchased $298 million, or 4.1 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our share buyback program at a weighted average price of $71.86 per share.

Cash flows

Our cash and cash equivalents during the first three months of 2016 decreased by $133 million as follows:

Net cash increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents

     (133      186   

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities is net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities.

For the first three months of 2016 compared to the first three months of 2015, the $46 million increase in cash provided by operations was due to adjustments to net income (loss) for non-cash items and changes in working capital. The adjustments to net income (loss) were higher due to higher depreciation and stock-based compensation expense offset by the warrants no longer requiring a mark-to-market adjustment and changes in deferred taxes.

Changes in assets and liabilities as of April 3, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, included a decrease in inventories due to the impact of purchase accounting on inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to a decrease in inventory purchases during the quarter.

 

[-8]


Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures, cash used for acquisitions and proceeds from divestitures.

Cash used for investing activities was lower for the first three months of 2016 compared to the first three months of 2015. Cash used for investing activities decreased primarily due to lower acquisition related activity.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of repurchases of common stock, issuance and repayment of short-term and long-term debt, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Cash was used for financing activities in the first three months of 2016 compared to cash being provided for the first three months of 2015, primarily due to the partial redemption for an amount of $200 million of our $500 million outstanding 3.5% senior notes due 2016 and higher levels of treasury stock transactions.

YTD 2016 Financing Activities

2016 Senior Unsecured Notes

On February 23, 2016, NXP B.V., together with NXP Funding LLC, issued redemption notices for an aggregate principal amount of $200 million of its $500 million outstanding 3.5% senior notes due 2016. This partial redemption was made as permitted under Article 3 of the indenture dated as of September 24, 2013 and paragraph 5 of the Notes. The funds from this redemption came from available surplus cash.

Warrants

At the time of the issuance of the 2019 Cash Convertible Senior Notes, NXP entered into separate warrant transactions with various parties for the purchase of up to approximately 11.18 million shares of NXP’s common stock at a price of $133.32 per share in a private placement. The warrants expire on various dates from March 2, 2020, through April 30, 2020, and will be net share settled. NXP received $134 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the Warrants, which was recorded in other non-current liabilities. As of January 1, 2016, as a result of the acquisition of Freescale, NXP has concluded that the functional currency of the holding company is USD. Consequently, beginning from January 1, 2016, the warrants with a carrying value of $168 million were reclassified to stockholders’ equity, and mark-to-market accounting is no longer applicable. The warrants are included in diluted earnings per share to the extent the impact is dilutive. As of April 3, 2016, the warrants were not dilutive.

YTD 2015 Financing Activities

There were no financing activities in the first quarter of 2015.

Contractual Obligations

During the first three months of 2016, our contractual obligations decreased by approximately $48 million resulting from normal business operations.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

At the end of the first quarter of 2016, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases and other commitments resulting from normal business operations.

NXP SEMICONDUCTORS N.V.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

All amounts in millions of $ unless otherwise stated

1 Basis of Presentation

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, 2015.

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, 2015.

2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting standards adopted in 2016

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The new standard 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. In August 2015, the FASB issued 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, which clarified that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can be presented in the balance sheet as an asset and amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. We made the determination to early adopt these standards as of December 31, 2015 with retroactive application. The adoption of these standards did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. Under this standard, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. The new standard became effective for us on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The new standard requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and sets forth new disclosure requirements related to the adjustments. The new standard became effective for us on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740), which changes how deferred taxes are classified on our balance sheets and is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2016 with retrospective application. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our financial position.

 

[-15]


Recently issued accounting standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact that Topic 606 may have on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10). The new standard requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. The expected adoption method of ASU 2016-01 is being evaluated by the Company and the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

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. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that Topic 842 may have on our financial position and results of operations.

In March, 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The new standard requires the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional paid in capital pools. The standard also allows for the employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting. In addition, the ASU allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The new standard will be effective for us on January, 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that Topic 718 may have on our financial position and results of operations.

3 Acquisitions and Divestments

On December 7, 2015, we acquired Freescale for a purchase price of $11,639 million. During the first three months of 2016 we recognized additional acquisition related transaction costs of $5 million (legal, accounting and other related expenses) within selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each holder of Freescale common shares received (i) 0.3521 of an NXP ordinary share and (ii) $6.25 in cash per such common share.

The total purchase price amounts to $11,639 million and consisted of the following:

 

Cash payment of $6.25 per Freescale common share

     1,948      

Total value of NXP ordinary shares delivered

     9,449      

Value of NXP restricted share units delivered to holders of Freescale restricted share units and performance-based restricted share units

     157      

Value of NXP stock options delivered to holders of Freescale stock options

     85      

Total purchase price

        11,639   

The total purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the merger, December 7, 2015. The fair value of acquired tangible and identified intangible assets is determined based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As such, acquired tangible and identified intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets. During the three month period ended April 3, 2016, we made certain adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. A decrease of $30 million was recorded to deferred tax liabilities, a decrease of $4 million was recorded to accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities, a decrease of $5 million was recorded to inventories with a corresponding net decrease of $29 million recorded to goodwill. The measurement period still remains open pending the completion of valuation procedures related to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, primarily in the areas of in-process research and development and deferred taxes, including any related income tax effects. As we obtain additional information, we may further revise our preliminary purchase price allocation during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). Any such revisions or changes may be material.

 

[-17]


The identified intangible assets consist of existing technology and platform technology, In-Process Research & Development (“IPR&D”), order backlog, trade name and customer relationships. The estimated useful lives range between one year and nineteen years.

The revised preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

 

Total purchase price

        11,639   
     

 

 

 

Estimated fair value of net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Estimated fair value (and estimated useful lives) of identified intangible assets acquired:

 

Customer relationships (included in customer-related) (19 years)

     764      

Developed technology (included in technology-based) (5 years)

     5,371

     41      
  

 

 

    

Identified intangible assets acquired

        8,464   

Estimated goodwill

        7,395   

 

* Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is an intangible asset classified as an indefinite lived asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development effort. IPR&D will be amortized over an estimated useful life to be determined at the date the associated research and development effort is completed, or expensed immediately when, and if, the project is abandoned. Acquired IPR&D is not amortized during the period that it is considered indefinite lived, but rather is subject to annual testing for impairment or when there are indicators for impairment.

Goodwill is primarily attributable to the anticipated synergies and economies of scale expected from the operations of the combined company and to the assembled workforce of Freescale. All of the goodwill has been allocated to NXP’s HPMS segment. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

There were no material divestments or other acquisitions, as of April 3, 2016.

     10,032         (1,586      9978         1,188   

 

1)  IPR&D is not subject to amortization until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development effort. The IPR&D acquired in the acquisition of Freescale encompasses a broad technology portfolio of product innovations. As of April 3, 2016 we are still obtaining information relative to the percent complete and remaining costs to complete for each project.

The estimated amortization expense for these identified intangible assets, excluding software, for each of the five succeeding years is:

 

2016 (remaining)

     1,075   

2017

     1,490   

2018

     1,482   

2019

     1,424   

2020

     1,174   

All intangible assets, excluding goodwill, are subject to amortization and have no assumed residual value.

The expected weighted average remaining life of identified intangibles is 6 years as of April 3, 2016 (December 31, 2015: 7 years).

2)  Unvested RSU’s, PSU’s and equity rights of 7.6 million shares that were outstanding in Q1 2016 (Q1 2015: 6.6 million shares) were anti-dilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the number of shares assumed to be repurchased using the proceeds of unrecognized compensation expense was greater than the weighted average number of outstanding unvested RSU’s, PSU’s and equity rights.
3)  Warrants to purchase up to approximately 11.2 million shares of NXP’s common stock at a price of $133.32 per share was outstanding in Q1 2016 (Q1 2015: 11.2 million shares at a price of $133.32). Upon exercise, the warrants will be net share settled. At the end of Q1, 2016 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. (As a net loss was incurred in Q1, 2015, the warrants were not included in the Q1 2015 computation of diluted EPS).

(1)  Transfers between the levels of fair value hierarchy are recognized when a change in circumstances would require it. [There were no transfers during the reporting periods presented in the table above.]

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

The Notes hedges are measured at fair value using level 2 inputs. The instrument is not actively traded and is valued using an option pricing model that uses observable market data for all inputs, such as implied volatility of NXP’s common stock, risk-free interest rate and other factors.

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.

Notes Embedded Conversion Derivative

The Notes Embedded Conversion Derivative is measured at fair value using level 2 inputs. This instrument is not actively traded and is valued using an option pricing model that uses observable market data for all inputs, such as implied volatility of NXP’s common stock, risk-free interest rate and other factors.

Warrants

At the time of the issuance of the 2019 Cash Convertible Senior Notes, NXP entered into separate warrant transactions with various parties for the purchase of up to approximately 11.18 million shares of NXP’s common stock at a price of $133.32 per share in a private placement. The warrants expire on various dates from March 2, 2020, through April 30, 2020, and will be net share settled. NXP received $134 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the Warrants, which was recorded in other non-current liabilities. As of January 1, 2016, as a result of the acquisition of Freescale, NXP has concluded that the functional currency of the holding company is USD. Consequently, beginning from January 1, 2016, the warrants with a carrying value of $168 million were reclassified to stockholders’ equity, and mark-to-market accounting is no longer applicable. The warrants are included in diluted earnings per share to the extent the impact is dilutive. As of April 3, 2016, the warrants were not dilutive.

 

[-22]


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

We measure and record our non-marketable equity investments (non-marketable equity method 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.

YTD 2016 Financing Activities

2016 Senior Unsecured Notes

On February 23, 2016, NXP B.V., together with NXP Funding LLC, issued redemption notices for an aggregate principal amount of $200 million of its $500 million outstanding 3.5% senior notes due 2016. This partial redemption was made as permitted under Article 3 of the indenture dated as of September 24, 2013 and paragraph 5 of the Notes. The funds from this redemption came from available surplus cash.

Warrants

At the time of the issuance of the 2019 Cash Convertible Senior Notes, NXP entered into separate warrant transactions with various parties for the purchase of up to approximately 11.18 million shares of NXP’s common stock at a price of $133.32 per share in a private placement.

Certain terms and Covenants of the U.S. dollar-denominated notes

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes. With respect to the Term Loans, the Company is required to repay $35 million annually.

The indentures governing the notes contain covenants that, among other things, 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 merger with Freescale has been in compliance with any such indentures and financing covenants.

Certain portions of long-term and short-term debt as of April 3, 2016 in the principal amount of $4,934 million (December 31, 2015: $4,943 million) have been secured by collateral on substantially all of the Company’s assets and of certain of its subsidiaries.

Each series of the Senior Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally, on a senior basis by certain of the Company’s current and future material wholly owned subsidiaries (“Guarantors”).

Pursuant to various security documents related to the above mentioned term loans and the $600 million committed new revolving credit facility, the Company and each Guarantor has granted first priority liens and security interests in, amongst others, the following, subject to the grant of further permitted collateral liens:

 

(a) all present and future shares of capital stock of (or other ownership or profit interests in) each of its present and future direct subsidiaries, other than SMST Unterstützungskasse GmbH, and material joint venture entities;

 

(b) all present and future intercompany debt of the Company and each Guarantor;

 

(c) all of the present and future property and assets, real and personal, of the Company, and each Guarantor, including, but not limited to, machinery and equipment, inventory and other goods, accounts receivable, owned real estate, leaseholds, fixtures, general intangibles, license rights, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, chattel paper, insurance proceeds, contract rights, hedge agreements, documents, instruments, indemnification rights, tax refunds, but excluding cash and bank accounts; and

 

(d) all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above.

 

[-24]


Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain assets may not be pledged (or the liens not perfected) in accordance with agreed security principles, including:

 

  if the cost of providing security is not proportionate to the benefit accruing to the holders; and

 

  if providing such security requires consent of a third party and such consent cannot be obtained after the use of commercially reasonable efforts; and

 

  if providing such security would be prohibited by applicable law, general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “thin capitalization” rules or similar matters or providing security would be outside the applicable pledgor’s capacity or conflict with fiduciary duties of directors or cause material risk of personal or criminal liability after using commercially reasonable efforts to overcome such obstacles; and

 

  if providing such security would have a material adverse effect (as reasonably determined in good faith by such subsidiary) on the ability of such subsidiary to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the indenture; and

 

  if providing such security or perfecting liens thereon would require giving notice (i) in the case of receivables security, to customers or (ii) in the case of bank accounts, to the banks with whom the accounts are maintained. Such notice will only be provided after the secured notes are accelerated.

Subject to agreed security principles, if material property is acquired by the Company or a Guarantor that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest under the security documents, then the Company or relevant Guarantor will within 60 days provide security over this property and deliver certain certificates and opinions in respect thereof as specified in the indenture governing the notes.

8 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. 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.

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 approximately $28 million accrued for legal proceedings pending as of April 3, 2016, consistent with the amount accrued for at December 31, 2015. The accruals are included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities”. There can be no assurance that the Company’s accruals will be sufficient to cover the extent of its potential exposure to losses, but historically, legal actions have not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

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 April 3, 2016, the Company believes that for all litigation pending its aggregate exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued could range between 0 and approximately $124 million.

 

[-25]


Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. The resolution of intellectual property litigation may require us to pay damages for past infringement or to obtain a license under the other party’s intellectual property rights that could require one-time license fees or ongoing royalties, require us to make material changes to our products and/or manufacturing processes, require us to cross-license certain of our patents and other intellectual property and/or prohibit us from manufacturing or selling one or more products in certain jurisdictions, which could adversely impact our operating results in future periods.

In addition, the Company is currently assisting Motorola in the defense of eight personal injury lawsuits due to indemnity obligations included in the agreement that separated Freescale from Motorola in 2004. The multi-plaintiff lawsuits are pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. These claims allege a link between working in semiconductor manufacturing clean room facilities and birth defects in 56 individuals. The eight suits allege exposures that occurred between 1965 and 2006. Each suit seeks an unspecified amount of damages in compensation 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. 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 denied liability for these alleged injuries based on numerous defenses. 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.

9 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.

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 table presents the amounts related to revenue and expenses incurred in transactions with these related parties:

10 Restructuring

At each reporting date, we evaluate our restructuring liabilities, which consist primarily of termination benefits, to ensure that our accruals are still appropriate. In December 2015, we began the implementation of the planned restructuring and cost reduction activities in connection with the acquisition of Freescale. As of April 3, 2016, we recognized an additional $14 million of employee severance costs in our restructuring liabilities and during the three month period we recognized $7 million of other exit costs related to this plan in the first quarter of 2016.

The total restructuring liability as of April 3, 2016 of $224 million is classified in the balance sheet under current liabilities ($193 million) and non-current liabilities ($31 million).

The utilization of the restructuring liabilities mainly reflects the execution of ongoing restructuring programs the Company initiated in earlier years.

The components of restructuring charges less releases recorded in the liabilities for the three months ended April 3, 2016 and April 5, 2015 are as follows:

Effective tax rate

     33.9     (19.2 )% 

Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of tax incentives, 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 three months of 2016 was a benefit of 33.9% compared with provision of 19.2% for the first three months of 2015. The significant decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of purchase accounting as a result of the acquisition of Freescale, slightly offset by the impact of the inclusion of a full quarter of operations of Freescale which contributed to a shift in the mix of income and losses between jurisdictions.

The Company benefits from income tax holiday 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 2021. The impact of this tax holiday decreased foreign taxes by $4 million and $7 million for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The benefit of this tax holiday on net income per share (diluted) was $0.01 (first quarter of 2015: $0.03).

12 Segment Information

NXP is organized into two reportable segments, High Performance Mixed Signal (“HPMS”) and Standard Products (“SP”). Corporate and Other represents the remaining portion to reconcile to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective with the Merger, the operations of Freescale were primarily incorporated into the HPMS reportable segment.

Our HPMS business segment delivers high performance mixed signal solutions to our customers to satisfy their system and sub-systems needs across eight application areas: automotive, identification, mobile, consumer, computing, wireless infrastructure, lighting and industrial, and software solutions for mobile phones. Our SP business segment offers standard products for use across many application markets, as well as application-specific standard products predominantly used in application areas such as mobile handsets, computing, consumer and automotive. The segments each include revenue from the sale and licensing of intellectual property related to that segment.

Because the Company meets the criteria for aggregation set forth under ASC 280 “Segment Reporting”, and the operating segments have similar economic characteristics, the Company aggregates the results of operations of the Automotive, Secure Identification Solutions, Secure Connected Devices and Secure Interfaces and Infrastructure operating segments into one reportable segment, HPMS, and the Standard Products and General Purpose Logic operating segments into another reportable segment, SP.
