"We exited the third quarter of 2009 with the highest level of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the company’s history at over $470 million and the lowest net debt position in the company’s history at approximately $425 million," said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor President and CEO. "As a result of the strong financial performance, financial discipline and cash generating capabilities of the company we increased our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments by approximately $67 million from the prior quarter. While there is still uncertainty as to how quickly the semiconductor industry will return to pre-recession revenue levels, our revenues continue to improve from the lows of the first quarter of 2009. We also believe that the overall supply chain remains very lean. Our weeks of distribution inventory were at the lowest level in the company’s history at approximately 9 weeks exiting the third quarter of 2009."
"ON Semiconductor Corp. has recently completed the acquisition of privately-held PulseCore Holdings (Cayman) Inc. in an all cash transaction for initial consideration of approximately $17 million. PulseCore’s previous owners and other stakeholders also have the ability to receive additional earn-out proceeds if, among other things, PulseCore is able to meet certain revenue and gross margin objectives in 2010 and 2011. The acquisition of PulseCore expands ON Semiconductor’s high gross margin clock and circuit protection offerings for the consumer, wireless and computing end-market customers. PulseCore’s capabilities in standard and custom high-speed and low power analog and mixed signal solutions for EMI (electromagnetic interference) reduction also enhance ON Semiconductor’s overall EMI filtering and circuit protection portfolios. In addition, PulseCore’s strong design capabilities and history in India represents ON Semiconductor’s first foray into design activity in that country."
