Date of Report: November 13, 2025
Event: Material Impairments (Item 2.06)
ON Semiconductor announced additional restructuring and cost reduction initiatives aimed at realigning internal manufacturing capacity with anticipated long-term needs. This follows earlier initiatives announced in the first quarter of 2025.
Key Financial Metrics
- Impairment and Accelerated Depreciation Charges: Estimated between $200 million and $300 million (pre-tax, non-cash).
- Asset Type: Long-lived assets related to manufacturing facilities.
- Future Depreciation Impact: Estimated reduction in recurring depreciation expense of $10 million to $15 million in 2026.
- Cash Impact: Management does not expect material future cash expenditures resulting from these charges.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
This filing represents a new, material non-cash charge distinct from the restructuring initiatives announced in Q1 2025. The charges reflect a continued evaluation of manufacturing operations for additional improvements and efficiencies. The filing does not provide comparative financial data for the prior period regarding these specific charges.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Timing: Most charges are expected to be incurred between the filing date and the first two quarters of 2026.
- Estimation Risks: Actual timing of disposition, fair values, disposal costs, and the related impairment charges may differ materially from current expectations due to the inherent nature of estimates.
- Forward-Looking Statements: The report includes projections regarding pre-tax non-cash impairment charges. Management cautions that actual results could differ materially due to risks and uncertainties.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific manufacturing facilities affected by the impairment charges.
- Monitor the actual timing and magnitude of the charges as they are recognized in Q4 2025 and 2026.
- Review the impact of the $10 million to $15 million reduction in recurring depreciation on future earnings guidance.
- Confirm that no material cash expenditures are required for the asset dispositions as management estimates.
