Product group revenues

Automotive and Discrete Group (ADG) revenues were US$3.6 billion in 2019, an increase of 1.4% compared to 2018.

Revenues from our Automotive Product sub-Group were substantially flat, reflecting two opposing dynamics: growth in car digitalization applications with ADAS products and microcontrollers, and a decline in legacy products.

Revenues for the Power Discrete sub-Group increased, mainly driven by Silicon Carbide products, power MOSFET and IGBT, and partially offset by non-power Discrete.

Driven by personal electronics applications, 2019 revenues grew 4.6% for our Analog, MEMS and Sensors (AMS) Group compared to 2018, reaching US$3.3 billion. The increase was partially offset by lower sales in Industrial and hard-disk drives.

Microcontrollers and Digital IC Group (MDG) revenues were US$2.6 billion in 2019, a decrease of 10.3%. This is mainly due to an inventory correction at our distributors, which affected general purpose microcontrollers during the first half of the year. MDG restarted year-on-year growth during the second half of 2019.

The full details of our financial results are available in our Form 20-F and IFRS annual reports, which can be found on our website (see investors.st.com).

In 2019, in a declining semiconductor market, ST was able to show significant resilience in its financial results, testifying to the solid strategy and the superior technology and product portfolio of the Company. The investor community acknowledged this capability of the Company to navigate in difficult waters with a significant share appreciation during the year: around +94% compared to the +60% of the SOX index. Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in our financial strategy, helping us not only to manage risks but to create short-term as well as long-term opportunities.”

Looking forward

In order to address our new products ramp-up, customer demand in 2020 and ongoing strategic initiatives, we plan our capital investment in 2020 to be in the range of US$1.0 billion to US$1.2 billion.

This investment includes additional capacity for some of our existing technologies and investments to develop the product mix for our 200mm fabs, support for our R&D activities and maintenance of manufacturing operations. It also includes spending for three strategic initiatives:

• investment in the new Agrate (Italy) 300mm fab to support BCD (Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS), IGBT and other power technologies
• R&D for Gallium Nitride power technologies and production ramp up for Gallium Nitride for radio frequency devices
• investments for Silicon Carbide. These include substrate activities, following our acquisition of Norstel

Extra-financial reporting

Each year, socially responsible investment rating agencies, analysts and investors evaluate our corporate behavior and performance based on a wide range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics.

In 2019, we were included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices World and Europe for the second year in a row. With our best score of 83 points out of 100, ST was ranked fourth among global semiconductor companies invited to participate in the indices. This achievement acknowledges our longstanding commitment to conducting our business responsibly and recognizes our performance in many areas, ranging from business ethics, innovation, and quality, to environment and labor practices.

We were also included in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index and maintained a strong presence in other major sustainability indices, such as FTSE4Good, Ethibel, and Euronext Vigeo (see ST inclusion in the main sustainability indices in 2019).

Participating in these evaluations gives us an opportunity to assess our performance within a wider context, benchmark ourselves against our peers, measure our progress, and identify areas for further improvement.
