� Some of the statements contained in this release that are not historical facts are statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended) that are based on management’s current views and assumptions, and are conditioned upon and also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those in such statements due to, among other factors:

� Changes in demand in the key application markets and from key customers served by our products, which make it extremely difficult to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. In particular, following a period of significant order cancellations in 2009, we have in 2010 experienced a strong surge in customer demand, which has led to capacity constraints in certain applications and may in the future, in case of excessive inventory at customers or distribution channels, experience order cancellations;

� our ability to utilize and operate our manufacturing facilities at sufficient levels to cover fixed operating costs during periods of reduced customer demand, as well as our ability to ramp up production efficiently and rapidly to respond to increased customer demand, in an intensely cyclical and competitive industry, and the financial impact of obsolete or excess inventories if actual demand differs from our expectations;

� the operations of the ST-Ericsson Wireless joint venture, which represents a significant investment and risk for our business and which may lead to significant additional impairment and restructuring charges, in the event ST-Ericsson is unable to successfully compete in a rapidly changing and increasingly competitive market;

� our ability to compete in the semiconductor industry since a high percentage of our costs are fixed and are incurred in Euros and other currencies than U.S. dollars, especially in light of the increasing volatility in the foreign exchange markets and, more particularly, in the U.S. dollar exchange rate as compared to the Euro and the other major currencies we use for our operations;

� the outcome of ongoing litigation as well as any new litigation to which we may become a defendant;

� changes in our overall tax position as a result of changes in tax laws or the outcome of tax audits, and our ability to accurately estimate tax credits, benefits, deductions and provisions and to realize deferred tax assets;

� the impact of intellectual property (“IP”) claims by our competitors or other third parties, and our ability to obtain required licenses on reasonable terms and conditions;

� product warranty or liability claims based on epidemic failures or recalls by our customers for a product containing one of our parts;

� our ability in an intensively competitive environment to secure customer acceptance and to achieve our pricing expectations for high-volume supplies of new products in whose development we have been, or are currently, investing;

� changes in the political, social or economic environment, including as a result of military conflict, social unrest and/or terrorist activities, economic turmoil, as well as natural events such as severe weather, health risks, epidemics, earthquakes, volcano eruptions or other acts of nature in, or affecting, the countries in which we, our key customers or our suppliers, operate.

� Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results and performance of our business to differ materially and adversely from the forward-looking statements. Certain forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “are expected to,” ”, “should,” “would be,” “seeks” or “anticipates” or similar expressions or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

� Some of these risk factors are set forth and are discussed in more detail in “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2010. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this release as anticipated, believed or expected. We do not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update any industry information or forward-looking statements set forth in this release to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Forward Looking Statements29

Page 30: STMicroelectronics - Paris Europlace · STMicroelectronics 4 ... MALAYSIA SINGAPORE INDONESIA HONG KONG TAIWAN ... 32-bit STM32 microcontrollers shipping in volumes to a major OEM

� Net operating cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities minus net cash used in investing activities, excluding payment for purchases of and proceeds from the sale of marketable securities (both current and non-current), short-term deposits and restricted cash. We believe net operating 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 operating activities. Net operating cash flow is not a U.S. GAAP measure and does not represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows generated by or used in financing activities. In addition, our definition of net operating cash flow may differ from definitions used by other companies

� Net financial position: resources (debt), represents the balance between our total financial resources and our total financial debt. Our total financial resources include cash and cash equivalents, net of bank overdrafts, if any, current and non-current marketable securities excluding Micron shares received in connection with the sales of Numonyx, short-term deposits and non-current restricted cash, and our total financial debt includes the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, all as reported in our consolidated balance sheet. We believe our net financial position provides useful information for investors because it gives evidence of our global position either in terms of net indebtedness or net cash by measuring our capital resources based on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and the total level of our financial indebtedness. Net financial position is not a U.S. GAAP measure.

� Return on Net Assets (RONA) is the ratio of operating income before impairment and restructuring charges divided by average net assets used during the period. ST defines average net assets as average total assets net of total liabilities as reported in our consolidated balance sheet excluding all items related to our financial position such as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, short term deposits, bank overdrafts, current portion of long term debt and long term debt.

� Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs.

� Adjusted operating income attributable to ST is calculated as adjusted operating income (loss) excluding 50% of ST-Ericsson operating income (loss) before restructuring as consolidated by ST. Adjusted operating margin attributable to ST is calculated as adjusted operating income attributable to ST divided by reported revenues excluding 50% of ST-Ericsson revenues as consolidated by ST. Return on Net Assets (RONA) attributable to ST is calculated as annualized adjusted operating income attributable to ST divided by reported net assets excluding 50% of ST-Ericsson net assets as consolidated by ST.

� Adjusted net earnings and earnings per share (EPS) are used by our management to help enhance an understanding of ongoing operations and to communicate the impact of the excluded items. Adjusted earnings exclude impairment, restructuring charges and other related closure costs attributable to ST, the impact of equity investment divestiture, other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charges on financial assets, net of the relevant tax impact.

� Key Information on Consolidation / Deconsolidation:

� ST completed the deconsolidation of its Flash Memory Group (FMG) segment and took an equity interest in Numonyx on March 30, 2008. Numonyx was sold to Micron on May 7, 2010.

� ST-NXP Wireless, a joint venture initially owned 80% by ST, began operations on August 2, 2008 and was fully consolidated into ST’s operating results. On February 1, 2009 and prior to the closing of the merger of ST-NXP Wireless and Ericsson Mobile Platforms to create ST-Ericsson, ST exercised its option to buy out NXP’s 20% ownership stake of ST-NXP Wireless.

� ST-Ericsson, a joint venture owned 50% by ST, began operations on February 3, 2009 and is consolidated into ST’s operating results as of that date. ST-Ericsson is led by a development and marketing company and is consolidated by ST. A separate platform design company providing platform designs mostly to the development and marketing company is accounted for by ST using the equity method.

� Wireless Segment: As of February 3, 2009, “Wireless” includes the portion of sales and operating results of the 50/50 ST-Ericsson joint venture as consolidated in the Company’s revenues and operating results, as well as other items affecting operating results related to the wireless business.

� Sales recorded by ST-Ericsson and consolidated by S T are included in Telecom and Distribution
