Geneva, January 22, 2008 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.

ST, in conjunction with Intel and Francisco Partners, entered into a definitive agreement on May 22, 2007 to create an independent semiconductor company, with ST contributing its Flash Memories Group (FMG). Subject to satisfying the closing conditions, ST anticipates the completion of the transaction during the 2008 first quarter. In this press release, ST presents certain financial results for the Company as a whole, as well as for the Company excluding FMG.

Net Revenues and Gross Profit Review
Net revenues for the fourth quarter increased 6.9% sequentially to $2.74 billion from the $2.57 billion reported in the prior quarter. Excluding FMG, net revenues increased 7.7% sequentially with growth led by imaging products, data storage, application-specific wireless, and industrial products.

Net revenues for the full year were $10.0 billion, an increase of 1.5% compared to 2006 net revenues of $9.9 billion. ST’s year-over-year net revenues growth, excluding FMG, was about 4.3%, driven by MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), digital consumer, industrial, and application-specific wireless products, indicating that the Company grew sales for its served market in line with industry analysts’ preliminary estimates.

In Billion US$ and %	Q4 2007		Full year 2007
	ST	ST excluding FMG	ST	ST excluding FMG
Net Revenues	$2.74	$2.38	$10.00	$8.64
Sequential Growth	6.9%	7.7%	n/a	n/a
Year-over-Year Growth	10.4%	13.0%	1.5%	4.3%

President and CEO Carlo Bozotti commented, “Our fourth quarter financial results exceeded the mid-point of our outlook, with revenues up 6.9% sequentially and gross margin at 36.9%. Excluding FMG, revenues were up 7.7% sequentially with a gross margin of 38.2%. Sequential sales growth was driven by ST’s strong industrial-products offering and improving wireless positioning, both of which are areas of significant product-development focus for us.

“Over the course of 2007 we made progress in strengthening our Application Specific Product Groups (ASG). ASG’s revenue growth of approximately 25%, comparing fourth quarter 2007 results with those of the year’s first quarter, was in line with our earlier expectations and is clear evidence of our strengthening portfolio. Additionally, our Industrial and Multisegment Sector (IMS), which includes Advanced Analog, MEMS and Microcontrollers, had sales growth over 10% in 2007, demonstrating the quality of ST’s product portfolio and capability to increase share in the industrial and analog markets.”

Gross profit was $1.01 billion for the 2007 fourth quarter and the gross margin was 36.9%. Sequentially, both gross profit and gross margin improved from the prior quarter levels of $902 million and 35.2%, respectively. During the fourth quarter, FMG gross profit realized the benefit of suspended depreciation related to assets held for sale. Excluding FMG, gross profit was $911 million for the 2007 fourth quarter, representing a gross margin of 38.2%, a decrease from the 39.1% in the third quarter due to severe exchange-rate degradation and higher weighting of imaging devices in the product mix. In the year-ago quarter, the gross profit for the entire Company was $901 million and the gross margin was 36.3%.

For the 2007 full year, ST’s gross profit was $3.54 billion, with a gross margin of 35.4% compared to 2006 gross profit and gross margin of $3.52 billion and 35.8% respectively.

Operating Expenses
In the 2007 fourth quarter R&D expenses were $480 million and SG&A expenses were $295 million. Combined selling, general & administrative and research & development expenses represented 28.3% of net revenues in the fourth quarter, compared to 27.8% in the third quarter of 2007, and below the 28.6% level in the year-ago quarter. In the 2007 fourth quarter, combined SG&A and R&D expenses reflected an additional $25 million in sequential currency effects, $8 million sequential increase in stock-based compensation charges and $7 million in additional R&D expenses from the acquisition of the Nokia design team, which closed on November 5th.

Research and development expenses were $1.80 billion and $1.67 billion in 2007 and 2006, respectively, while selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.10 billion and $1.07 billion during the same respective periods. For the 2007 full year, combined SG&A and R&D expenses were 29.0% of net revenues compared to 27.7% in 2006, reflecting an estimated year-over-year currency impact of approximately $180 million.

Impairment and Restructuring Charges
Fourth quarter impairment and restructuring charges totaled $279 million, with $30 million primarily coming from previously announced restructuring programs and $249 million in non-cash impairment charges for the FMG assets held for sale. The additional impairment charges related to the Numonyx transaction result from revised terms of the Numonyx deal, exchange rate effects, and an updated calculation of ST’s expected equity value at closing. For the full year 2007, FMG non-cash impairment charges totaled $1.11 billion, while restructuring charges for previous plans were $116 million.

Other-than-temporary Impairment Charges on Marketable Securities
Since May 2006 ST has granted a specific mandate to a global financial institution to invest a portion of its cash position in a US federally-guaranteed student loan program. In mid 2007 ST became aware that the managing financial institution deviated from its specific authorization and that ST had been credited with investments in unauthorized auction rate securities. As a direct result of these unauthorized investments, and the current market conditions for the underlying asset based securities, the company has recognized an impairment to the fair value of these securities in the fourth quarter of $46 million. The Company is pursuing all available options to recover its losses from these investments.

Operating Income and Profit Margin, Net Income and Earnings per Share
For the 2007 fourth quarter, the Company reported an operating loss of $15 million (operating income was $264 million, an operating margin of 9.6%, excluding restructuring and impairment charges of $279 million), and net income of $20 million, or $0.02 per diluted share ($0.27 excluding restructuring and impairment charges that are equivalent, net of taxes, to $0.20 per diluted share, and other-than-temporary impairment charges on marketable securities of $46 million, an after tax impact of $0.05 per diluted share). In the year-ago quarter, the Company reported operating income of $173 million, equal to an operating margin of 7.0% (7.4% excluding restructuring and impairment charges), and net income of $276 million or $0.30 per diluted share ($0.21 excluding restructuring and impairment charges and benefits from a one-time tax claim). In the prior quarter, the Company reported operating income of $181 million, an operating margin of 7.0% (9.1% excluding one-time charges of $52 million), and net income of $187 million, or $0.20 per diluted share ($0.24 excluding one-time charges).

Largely reflecting the non-cash impairment charges in connection with the agreement to divest FMG, ST’s operating loss was $545 million for full year 2007, compared to operating income of $677 million in the full year 2006. Net loss was $477 million, or $ -0.53 per share, compared to net income of $782 million, or $0.83 per diluted share in 2006. 2007 results included impairment, restructuring charges, other related closure costs and other one-time charges equivalent, net of taxes, to $1.29 per diluted share.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the effective average exchange rate for the Company was approximately $1.425 to €1, compared to $1.356 to €1 in the third quarter of 2007 and $1.28 to €1 in the year-ago quarter. The Company’s effective exchange rate reflects actual exchange rate levels combined with the impact of hedging programs.

For the full year 2007, the effective average exchange rate for the Company was approximately $1.35 to €1.00, compared to $1.24 to €1.00 for the full year 2006.

Carlo Bozotti, President and CEO, stated, “While we continue to make significant improvements in a number of areas - such as our product portfolio competitiveness, capital intensity, manufacturing performance and cost structure - the financial benefits of our actions are difficult to see, as a rapidly weakening US dollar absorbs much of our progress. We estimate that on a constant currency basis our 2007 operating profit, excluding restructuring and impairment charges, would have been about $310 million higher than the reported figure of $683 million and would have been about $240 million higher than the comparable operating profit figure of $754 million in 2006. Therefore, ST will continue to take the necessary actions and portfolio efforts required to further improve the Company’s operating leverage.”

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
Net cash from operating activities was $737 million in the fourth quarter and $2.19 billion for the full year 2007. Net operating cash flow* was $188 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $255 million in the prior quarter and $157 million in the year-ago quarter. In the 2007 fourth quarter cash flow included a negative impact of approximately $250 million related to purchasing a portion of the Crolles2 equipment and the Nokia agreement announced in August. For the full year, net operating cash flow* totaled $840 million, up from $666 million in 2006.

Carlo Bozotti added, “We continue to emphasize a lighter asset strategy, and are reconfirming our target to have capex represent approximately 10% of sales in 2008. Importantly, we have significantly increased our net operating cash flow during 2007, improving 26% to $840 million”.

Reflecting ST’s successful progress in its lighter asset policy, capital expenditures were significantly lower in 2007. Specifically, capital expenditures were $1.14 billion, or 11.4% of sales, for the full year 2007, compared to $1.53 billion, or 15.6% of sales, for 2006. Inventory turns, excluding FMG, increased sequentially from 3.9 to 4.4 times.

At December 31, 2007, ST’s cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities both current and non-current, short-term deposits and restricted cash equaled $3.49 billion. Total debt was $2.22 billion. ST’s net financial position** was $1.27 billion. Shareholders’ equity was $9.57 billion.

* Net operating cash flow is a non-US GAAP metric, which the Company’s management utilizes as a measure of cash-generation capability. It is defined as net cash from operating activities ($737 million in the fourth quarter of 2007) minus net cash used in investing activities (primarily capital expenditures) excluding restricted cash, payments for purchase of and proceeds from the sale of marketable securities (current and non-current) and investment in and proceeds from matured short-term deposits ($549 million in the fourth quarter of 2007).
** Net financial position is a non-US GAAP metric used by the Company’s management to help assess financial flexibility. It is defined as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities (current and non-current), short-term deposits and restricted cash ($3,488 million) minus total debt (bank overdrafts $0 million + current portion of long-term debt $103 million + long-term debt $2,117 million).

Net Revenues by Market Segment for Q4 and Full Year 2007
The following table estimates, within a variance of 5% to 10% in the absolute dollar amount, the relative weighting of each of the Company’s target market segments for the 2007 fourth quarter and full year.

For the combined Company Q4 2007 results, Telecom was up 11% sequentially, Industrial & Others was up 9%, and Automotive and Computer were each up 6%. Consumer was down 1% sequentially. For the full year 2007, Industrial & Others grew 8%, while Automotive and Consumer were both up about 4%. Telecom was down about 1% due to memory products, and Computer was down about 2%.

Excluding FMG reduces the telecom market segment weighting by three to five percentage points, due to FMG’s strong positioning within wireless.

Financial and Operating Data by Product Segment for Q4 and Full Year 2007
The following table provides a breakdown of revenues and operating income by product segment.

(1) Net revenues of “Others” include revenues from sales of Subsystems and other products not allocated to product segments.
(2) Operating loss of “Others” includes items such as impairment, restructuring charges, and other related closure costs, start-up costs, and other unallocated expenses such as strategic or special research and development programs, certain corporate-level operating expenses, certain patent claims and litigations, and other costs that are not allocated to the product segments, as well as operating earnings or losses of the Subsystems and Other Products segment.

ASG’s revenues grew 9.1% sequentially and 13.3% year-over-year, led by imaging products, data storage and application-specific wireless products. ASG’s operating profit declined sequentially due to the sequential increase in imaging device weighting and currency impact. IMS’s sales grew 5.3% sequentially and 11.3% year-over-year reflecting strength in MEMS and advanced analog products while operating profit improved to $131 million. FMG sales grew 1.6% sequentially, but were down 4% year-over-year. FMG operating profit improved as a result of suspended depreciation.

(1) and (2) defined in earlier table.

For the full year, ASG sales were up 0.8%, IMS grew 10.4% while FMG revenues declined 13.1%.

Outlook
Mr. Bozotti stated, “Looking to Q1 of 2008 – in line with traditional seasonality - we expect net revenues to decline sequentially in the range between -5% and -11%, which represents a year-over-year improvement of about 11% at the midpoint. The gross margin is expected to be about 36.3%, plus or minus 1 percentage point. ”

This outlook refers to the total Company, including expected results from FMG for the full quarter and Genesis for the final two months , and is based on an assumed currency exchange rate of approximately $1.46 = €1.00 for the 2008 first quarter, which reflects current exchange rate levels combined with the impact of existing hedging contracts.
