During the first quarter of 2025, ON Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company” or “we” and, together with its subsidiaries, “onsemi”) announced restructuring and cost reduction initiatives based on an evaluation of its operating structure, business strategy, manufacturing technologies and internal capabilities to realign internal manufacturing capacity and capabilities with anticipated long-term needs. The Company has continued to evaluate its manufacturing operations for additional improvements and efficiencies and, on November 13, 2025, management approved the recognition of additional pre-tax non-cash impairment and accelerated depreciation charges of between $200 million and $300 million. These impairment and accelerated depreciation charges are for long-lived assets relating to investments in manufacturing assets at certain onsemi manufacturing facilities. Management estimates that these charges will reduce the Company’s recurring depreciation expense in an amount estimated to be between $10 million and $15 million in 2026. The Company does not expect that these charges, most of which will be incurred between now and the first two quarters of 2026, will result in material future cash expenditures.

    The non-cash impairment and accelerated depreciation charges were determined as the difference between the carrying values of these long-lived assets and their estimated fair values, less anticipated costs to sell such assets. The actual timing of disposition, fair values, disposal costs, the related impairment charges and impact on depreciation expense associated with these actions may differ from our current expectations due to the inherent nature of the estimates and such differences may be material.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These forward-looking statements relate to a variety of matters including, without limitation, statements regarding pre-tax non-cash impairment charges and related estimates and projections. All forward-looking statements in this document are made based on our current expectations, forecasts, estimates and assumptions and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
